"Wait, what did I just miss? Why wasn't that Best Actor winner Al Pacino? Who was that winner?"

"Renly Hall, who is this? I didn't see him in the 'Pacific War'."

"I thought it would be Jeff Bridges, what's going on?"

"Is there an inside story? How did this newcomer win the award all of a sudden? He's so annoying, and he actually laughed at Pacino in his acceptance speech. It's really disgusting."

"Deserved! Absolutely! His performance in 'War in the Pacific' was so good, the only reason I watched the whole show a second time was him! Blows up all the other actors!"

"Aaaah! Renly Hall! Aaah! He finally won, I knew it! I knew it!"

"The idiot upstairs, he is the guy who played the rich young master in 'Pacific War'. The performance is really good. Although it was a surprise to beat Al Pacino, he deserved this result."

"That idiot, did you watch the 'Pacific War'? He is the rich young master. Don't talk nonsense if you don't see it."

"Oh, 'Pacific War' actually won the Best Actor Award. I didn't watch it before. It looks like it's going to be updated now. How about it, is there a DVD now?"

"I didn't have time to watch it. I wasn't interested before, but now I think it looks good. Is this newcomer the male lead?"

"Renly Hall's performance is really wonderful. When the episode was live, I still sighed with everyone in the post that his performance really deserved an Emmy Award trophy. I didn't expect to win the award. awesome!"

"Does anyone know who Renly Hall is? He's so good, I'm going to explode, I searched Facebook and he's not there, does anyone know how to find his page?"

"My partner upstairs, so am I, so am I, he's so handsome! What should I do! I'm going to scream!"

"We are discussing acting skills. Don't you get addicted, okay? I think Hall deserves it."

"Hey, Al Pacino was nominated, I didn't know!"

In the midst of the quarrel, the reply that was not in the situation was quickly besieged by everyone, and a group of people yelled "Are you an alien?" The innocent guy disappeared immediately, and the discussion continued after the crooked building...

The discussion in the Yahoo community was in full swing, and netizens came forward to express their opinions. Some people yelled, apparently thinking that a newcomer beat Al Pacino and Jeff Bridges, which is simply unimaginable; They are full of praise, although they are not fans of Renly, but after watching "The Pacific War", they did leave a deep impression and expressed their appreciation; There were other topics discussed in the post, and it was a lot of fun.

Immediately afterwards, someone opened a post in the Yahoo community, "The 62nd Emmy Award, Best Actor Winner in Miniseries and TV Movies, Renly Hall, Popular Science Post."

The post detailed information about Renly's role in "War in the Pacific", and even posted some media comments, and mentioned the excitement caused by the Yahoo community at the time - those high-rise buildings are no longer buried, but they still exist, It still holds the record for the most discussion in 2010.

In addition, the post also posted a video link to YouTube, as well as information about Renly's previous Off-Broadway rehearsal.

The end of the post reads, "This is a pure newcomer, British, twenty years old. There is no information beyond that, and it can be clearly felt that he is a typical British academic actor, dedicated to his acting research. , is not keen on social network activities and self-promotion. Tonight, the Emmy Award is undoubtedly the best affirmation for him. I sincerely hope that such a dedicated actor can be loved by more people.

PS, his singles are really good and have been looping recently. "

The person who posted this post is the "Brando Mania" who was very active in the Yahoo community at the beginning. It seems that he is also paying attention to the live broadcast of the Emmy Awards ceremony.

After the post was posted, the click-through rate skyrocketed, surpassing 30,000 in less than 30 minutes, and the number of replies exceeded 2,000 in one breath. You can clearly feel that while the live broadcast, attention is paid to the post. The degree directly exploded.

For netizens, they are just outsiders watching the fun. Whether it's the "Pacific War" winning an acting award or the defeat of Al Pacino and Jeff Bridges, this is an unimaginable explosion. Even if they are not fans of TV dramas, even if they do not pay attention to the trend of the Emmy Awards, many netizens have also participated in the discussion.

Before the Emmy Awards ceremony was about to end, "Brando Fever" edited the post again, "Another post, according to the reply of Mr. Sledge on the 314th floor, I found the latest news of Renly Hall, He starred in a small-cost independent work in Spain, 'Buried Alive', and the relevant director information and actor information can already be found on IMDB. Looking forward to it!"

According to incomplete statistics, within 24 hours after the end of the Emmy Awards, "Buried Alive" had 63,000 browsing records on the IMDB page, and it actually ranked among the top 50 in the 24-hour hot list. Name, this is really incredible. A work that no one has heard of before has suddenly received such attention, and what is even more amazing is that the page has not even been updated with a poster.

After the Emmy Awards, the Yahoo community announced the heat of discussion during the awards ceremony. "Glee" undoubtedly won the championship, while the runner-up was unexpectedly occupied by "Pacific War". was widely discussed; third place went to Jim Parsons, who won the comedy show for the first time—even ahead of The Big Bang Theory.

It can be seen from this detail alone that the chain effect brought by a trophy is incalculable, and this is only the first forty-eight hours, and further fermentation and evolution will follow. This is the real birth. .

However, the Emmy Awards are Emmy Awards after all. The attention and attraction of mini-series and TV and film departments are far from comparable to dramas and comedies. Even with the addition of the topical drama "Pacific War", It really made Renly popular in the media, but Hollywood never lacks talent, does it

For Renly, it was a career break, and the Emmys not only recognized his performance, but spread his name, and for the first time people in the industry really realized that there was a new guy named "Renly". -Hall".

But for Hollywood, this is just the beginning. An Emmy trophy knocked on the door of Hollywood, but the road ahead is still extremely long, bumpy, full of thorns, and dangerous and unpredictable.

Hollywood lacks everything, but never lacks talent.

Entering the flamboyant world of Vanity Fair, Hollywood, a blockbuster and overnight success in fairy tales, is not difficult for geniuses. They seem to be able to catch the public's attention with ease. They lost their edge, their spirituality, their talent, and they were forgotten in a blink of an eye.

Because the starting point of the geniuses is too high, after people's expectations reach the peak, they always hope that the geniuses can continue to climb to new heights, but the ending is often disappointing, or even a sharp decline, and they will never be able to touch the Mount Everest again. The height, ups and downs, hauntedly vanished into ashes. Orson Welles is a typical representative.

So what about Renly

Is he going to keep climbing the peaks, dedicating one wonderful masterpiece after another, and becoming an actor who goes down in history like Al Pacino? Or will it drift away, the successor will be weak, the spirituality and understanding will be completely lost, and it will become a flashing meteor like Rosanna Searle? The potential of this genius, how much role it can play, and how high it can be achieved, this is what people really care about.

The glory of an Emmy Award is just one above the stars in the sky. After shining, after being amazed, and after being praised, everything will return to calm.

The sizzling media buzz, including The New York Times and Vanity Fair, propelled Renly to the top, but after the dust settled, they regained their composure, waiting for Renly's next work.

If the work is bad, they will not hesitate to start to fall into the trap, as if today's praise and affirmation never happened; even more terrible is that after the "Pacific War", Renly has a year, two, three years. If a new work cannot be presented, or a new work is launched, and the media does not even bother to complain, then Renly will be submerged in the rolling red dust of Hollywood in a blink of an eye, and completely lost in the flash of vanity fair.

Now, thanks to the strong power of netizens in the Yahoo community, the information of "buried alive" has begun to surface, which is unexpected but reasonable. Accidentally, because of the blessing of two top producers, Renly did not win a better chance to perform; the reason is because before winning the Emmy, Renly was just an ordinary newcomer, and it is logical to appear in an independent film. result.

Hollywood doesn't care too much about this at all. There are not a thousand or eight hundred independent films that appear every year, and they are still Spanish-funded independent films? That is far from the center of the film industry. If you want to gain attention, you should go to the Sundance Film Festival for a walk. Before that, no one would pay attention to such an independent film, even the new Emmys. The same is true of the works of God.

To be more precise, no one thinks this work can make a difference at all, and some people also express their embarrassment that Renly has made a career-destroying decision. Of course, it's too early to say that, and more people are focusing on Renly's "next work" - a work produced by Hollywood.

That's how Hollywood really works. Glossy media attention? A heated online discussion? The hot spotlight? These are just the first bricks knocking on the door of Hollywood.
