The laughter really couldn't stop, Jimmy had to rub his stiff facial muscles, and then said to the camera helplessly and excitedly, "I know I know, we have missed the commercial time, the director is standing there. We're jumping behind the camera, we're going to start a commercial now, and when we get back, we'll talk to Renly about what he's doing now."

Filming in the studio paused.

Jimmy turned to look at Renly, but his smile still didn't fade away, "Sorry, Renly, I'm serious. According to the original plan, our show should have ended recording now, but today's recording is really good. Okay, we haven't been able to officially cut into the film yet, can we extend the recording a little bit if you want? I know I know, it's not a pre-planned situation, and I'm very sorry, but the show It works so well, and I really hope the audience gets a good feel for your humor."

He talked a lot, but Jimmy never got any response, which made him a little nervous. The rumors about Renly were true and false, and Jimmy could not tell the truth. In the end, it was still necessary. You can only know when you meet face to face. Now, at the workplace where we met for the first time, such an accident had occurred, and Jimmy was at a loss, and Renly's silence made him even more anxious.

Just when Jimmy was about to start talking and joking, "Okay!" Renly nodded and gave a positive answer, because it was so neat that Jimmy was a little confused and couldn't turn his head around, so he had to ask again A sentence, "Are you sure? We can terminate now if you don't want to."

"Really?" Renly asked enthusiastically, and then Jimmy was stunned, and he was stuck in an embarrassing place.

Immediately, Jimmy saw a smile in Renly's eyes, and only then did he realize that he was being tricked. He looked at Renly in anger and dared not speak. , laughed directly, "So, is this revenge?" In response to the prank just now.

Ren Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "You underestimate me."

Just this little joke? It can't be regarded as revenge at all, and it is far from real revenge.

Jimmy looked at Renly carefully, and finally understood Renly's humorous rhythm. After thinking about it carefully, he laughed again and shook his head, "Justin warned me, I must be careful, look at it now. Come on, his warning is still not specific enough, you are more dangerous than you thought, and I was fooled."

"This is your show, you are the captain, you can get off the ship at any time, no problem." Renly said jokingly with a smile in his eyes.

Jimmy leaned back in his chair. "It's because I'm the captain that I can't let go of the wheel, can I? I'm stuck here with you right now."

Ren Li pursed the corners of his mouth and asked in complete seriousness, "Do you need me to leave now?"

Isn't the answer obvious

Jimmy spread his hands to express his helplessness, but before he had time to continue complaining, the on-site director was already reminding that the rest time was over and he could prepare to record again, so the topic was cut off here, even if it was only during the break. It was just a short chat, and the tacit understanding between the two is slowly completing the run-in.

"Audience friends, welcome back, today's second guest is still Renly Hall." Jimmy cut to the subject in the most concise way, then turned to look at Renly, "Before the commercial, we Speaking of the 'Harry Potter' series, we all know that this is a British movie, in which all the actors must speak in British accents. So far, you have never shown your British accent in a movie, have you? "

Renly didn't answer immediately, but raised his chin slightly and looked at Jimmy with interest.

Jimmy touched his cheek, "What's wrong? Could it be that the makeup artist just added too much powder?" Now Jimmy also relaxed, and the burden of humor finally returned to normal.

In the midst of a chuckle, Renly smiled and said, "No, I just didn't expect you to bring up this topic. I thought America's evening talk show wouldn't be of interest."

Regarding performance accents, in fact, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom all have their own accents, but American accents are relatively less complicated. The difference is objective, but not so clear. In addition, the North American population is always on the move. State, unless it is a western movie, the accent is not the point of the actor during the performance.

In European films, whether it is the regional accent of the native language or the pronunciation of non-voweled English, the difference in detail is an essential part of the performance. Therefore, in British talk shows, the host often mentions the British accent, especially when American actors go to the UK to promote, the frequency of appearances is ridiculously high.

In fact, even the British themselves are very, very fond of ranting about British pronunciation, not to mention the pronunciation of Liverpool, Newcastle, the Scottish Highlands, etc. Even in London, the pronunciation of different regions is different, and the origin of each person is different. and class are all revealed.

Jimmy expressed his thoughts with a smile on his face, "Actually, I think this is a very interesting discovery, in your promotion period, all accents are still standard English; but in the film it is a different one. This kind of pronunciation further separates the characters from reality, and I can't help but start to wonder, so what does it feel like to perform in English?"

"I guess you didn't watch the 'Les Miserables' stage play." Renly said meaningfully. In this play, Renly used a British accent. Although the original is from France, after the adaptation, all the actors English pronunciation is used uniformly. However, it is not the standard aristocratic pronunciation, but the original pronunciation mixed with dragons and snakes, which fits the era and class.

Jimmy opened his mouth slightly and was about to make a quibble, but in the end he responded in a different way, "Are you going to continue attacking me now?"

Renly pursed his lips and chuckled, "Yes, so far, I haven't acted in any British movie, do you know what is the funniest thing? In 'Crazy Love', I play an American boy and Felicity plays the British girl who came to study in the US from London, but in fact Felicity is from Birmingham and I am from London, and when we are adjusting our accents , that was really interesting."

"So... Birmingham and London accents are different?" Jimmy asked the question carefully, rolling his eyes, but it was like a game of minesweeper, lest he stepped on a mine.

"Ha, yes." Renly nodded affirmatively. "Actually, even in London, East and West London accents are different."

"Wow, can I understand that Manhattan and Brooklyn have different accents? And in New Jersey, that's a whole other world?" Jimmy immediately caught on.

Renly didn't answer either, but just said, "Yo, man, are you sure it's okay to say that?" This is a Brooklyn street accent. To be precise, the pronunciation hasn't changed drastically, it's more about rhythm and vocabulary. The difference, even more street, "I don't think the New Jersey accent is that much different, at least, we don't live in Canada." This is the New Jersey accent, and the difference is indeed noticeable in pronunciation, "But, we don't discriminate against anyone's Going, you know, we're just stating objective facts." And finally the New York accent, from the tone of voice, to the choice of words, everything is different, the most important thing is the demeanor, having a kind of "I am the center of the world" "The pride is pretending to be casual.

The short sentence contained three different accents. The audience began to whistle, and Jimmy couldn't stop laughing. This ability is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There are indeed differences in accents between regions on the east coast of the North American continent, but that "difference" can only be considered paediatric compared to London.

Jimmy laughed wildly and had to control his expression, and continued, "What about the London accent? Wait, wait! I did a little research ahead of time, and even the London accent is different, like The Queen's pronunciation now, I mean, apart from the vocabulary, the pronunciation itself is different."

"Jimmy, are you sure you want to talk about this on the talk show? I think it's not too wonderful now that the audience has started to turn the stage, otherwise, let's talk about 'Interstellar' and then come back to these things? ' Renly ignored the intrigued Jimmy and responded in a different way.

The audience immediately booed.

Jimmy also spread his hands, "Please, when will we be able to invite a nobleman to explain the demonstration for us?"

Hereditary aristocracy? Just when everyone had forgotten about it, Jimmy actually threw it out again, and the effect was really good.

Renly looked at Jimmy with a sudden realization, "Have you been preparing to talk about this all the time?"

Jimmy nodded in acknowledgement, like a urchin who succeeded in mischief, "I've been looking for opportunities today, haha!"

Renly spread his hands, "I guess Benedict Cumberbatch hasn't scheduled a show yet?"

"Is Benedict also a standard London accent?" Jimmy asked curiously. "All I know is that Colin Firth is standard. After all, he won an Oscar, didn't he?"

Benedict's situation is rather special. He grew up in West Sussex, attended Harrow College in secondary school, and went to Manchester for university. His accent is more complicated, and the main thing is that he was influenced by West Sussex. However, he has been honing in the West End for many years, and his accent has gradually adjusted.

"Yes, he can be regarded as a London accent; but Colin Firth is from Hampshire. Of course, his London accent is also very good. There is no flaw in 'The King's Speech'." Renly gave affirmation 's answer.

Jimmy's jaw was almost dislocated, "You mean, Colin Firth isn't a standard London accent?" That expression of the whole world starting to collapse makes people laugh.
