For the Grammys, they naturally wanted Renly to be on stage.
Partly because "Don Quixote" has become a phenomenon, whether it's the Grammy's six nominations or the feat of topping the Billboard album sales charts, it's a testament to indie music. The strength of man rises.

The grassroots culture and fast food culture of the Internet age are calling for more diversified music works. On the Internet where the needle is found in a haystack, the living space of independent musicians can be said to be wider but also narrower. In the rise of "Don Quixote", online platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Yahoo have played an important role. This is different from the Justin Bieber-style idol singer, but a powerful work that returns to music. Is a shooting star across the sky? Or could it be a whole new trend
Either way, Renly's performance on the Grammys stage is significant.
On the other hand, it is because of Renly's actor status. Like the Oscars, the Grammys hold their own identity and are unwilling to hype like the Golden Globes, hold high the banner of entertainment to death, and lose their persistence and arrogance; but in order to adapt to market changes, they still have to make some compromises , such as inviting idol singers to attend, such as inviting topical figures as award guests. and so on.
As an actor, Renly has been in the limelight for the past two years, coupled with the recent box office success of "Crazy in Love" and "I'm Fighting Cancer", as well as double Golden Globe nominations. Such a topical figure appeared on the Grammy stage; more importantly, not as a guest of honor, but as a nominee for six nominations, his stage performance was undoubtedly the focus of the focus.
As you can imagine, the real-time Twitter topic list and audience ratings are definitely a major stimulus!
With the Grammys facing a lot of trouble, they desperately need a topical focus like Renly. Even though they have hot topic characters like Adele, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, etc. this year, it is naturally perfect to be able to maintain the authority and style of the Grammys while increasing the ratings and attention. chosen.
So, regardless of whether or not Renly will win, the Grammys rightly hope that Renly will not only be present at the awards show, but will also perform on stage.
"What? If I refuse to perform, the Grammys will refuse me to attend?" Although this was just a joke from Renly, when he thought about it, Andy couldn't refute it. It's not our loss if the Lemmy side has completed the communication, and if they really can't accept it."
Roy, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, "How about I negotiate with them? Why do I think Andy has something to say?" Andy is a film agent, and all his work focuses on It's film-focused, and the Grammys are really of limited importance to him.
Faced with doubts, Andy spread his hands and made an inviting gesture, "Welcome to help me share my work. To be honest, I've been a little busy recently."
The Berlin Film Festival is not only the three major European film festivals, but also an outpost for entering the European market - not on a commercial level, but on an artistic level.
European film practitioners, actors, directors, producers, photographers, etc., are the most important part of Hollywood. Their pursuit and dedication to art are rooted in their blood. If the recognition of these people can be won, the real benefit is not only the three major film festivals in Europe, but also in the academy public relations of the annual awards season in the United States, which will benefit a lot.
There is a voting option in the college public relations called, "British vote/European vote", which corresponds to "race vote", "credit vote" and so on.
On this business trip, the Berlin Film Festival is one of Andy's most important jobs. He doesn't know the quality of the finished product of "Transcendence" for the time being, but with Tony Kaye's reputation in Europe, he hopes to open up a situation for Renly. No less important than college PR in the United States. Andy's work is extremely heavy.
Roy looked at Andy seriously, and after confirming the look in his eyes, there was no mother-in-law, and he nodded neatly in affirmation, "Okay, leave it to me, I'll communicate with Teddy Bell first."
Andy retracted his chin slightly, gestured to Roy, and expressed his gratitude, "If you need anything, call me." After adding a sentence, Andy looked back at Renly, "The awards season is about Leave it to us. I came here on a special trip today, and the main task is still about audition." Without giving up, Andy gave the answer directly, "Auditions for plays, and auditions for movies."
Although it was said that Renly had already guessed the few words when we met just now, but after getting the confirmation at this time, his smile could not help but bloom, "What work?"
"'Les Miserables'." Time was running out, Andy answered his questions, and simply revealed the answer.
Victor Hugo's novel "Les Miserables" published in 1862, as a literary work, has also been widely loved as a dramatic work, and has been on the theater stage of various countries for many times. In 1985 , Gold medal musical producer Cameron Mackintosh (atosh) adapted the French drama into English, boarded the West End of London, and started a career in the field of drama.
Now, "Les Miserables," "Miss Saigon," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Cat" are known as the four major musicals, and these four productions are enduring, whether on the West End or Broadway. Among them, "Les Miserables" is regarded by countless people as a classic among classics with its profound literary heritage and historical weight.
The story of "Les Miserables" is very grand and huge. In Paris in the nineteenth century, the poor Jean Valjean stole bread for the sake of his starving children, and was sentenced to nineteen years of hard labor by a judge who was well-fed and well-fed.
After being released from prison, the desperate Jean-Valjean was taken in by the kind bishop for the night, but he stole the bishop's silverware and fled, and was later captured by the police/police. The bishop's claim that the silverware was given to him to save him from prison also influenced Jean-Valjean. So, he changed his name to Madeleine, changed his mind, reinvented himself, and later became a successful businessman and mayor.
In an accident, Jean-Valjean and Sheriff Javert get into an argument, and the two disagree on what to do with the prostitute/female Fantine.
Javert was the son of the owner of the labor field, and had met Jean Valjean in the labor field. This confrontation made Javert begin to suspect Jean Valjean, and at the same time Jean Valjean learned of Fantine's tragic experience, and promised to take care of her illegitimate daughter Cosette.
Eight years later, the adult Cosette fell in love with the republican young Marius and was involved in the vigorous uprising of the Paris people; at the same time, Javert tracked down Jean Valjean again and tried to arrest him. However, the wheel of the times has begun to move forward and cannot be reversed.
The story of "Les Miserables" not only reflects the tragic and turbulent fate, but also reflects the fate of the little people and the feats that push the wheel of history under the changing times. In addition to the male protagonist Jean-Agent, Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Javert and other characters are also very important. Each character maintains the brand and destiny of the times. A splendid epitome of the era.
However, it is precisely because of the classics that adaptation becomes more and more difficult. Whether to follow the original story or to break the original framework is a serious challenge for every adaptor.
In 2012, Hollywood launched the latest adaptation of "Les Miserables". Tom-Hooper, who won the Oscar for best director with "The King's Speech", took the helm and brought together Hugh Jackman, Anne Heather. Actors such as Wei, Russell Crowe, Amanda-Seyfried, Eddie-Redmayne, etc., attracted much attention from the beginning of the preparation.
As expected, though, adapting a classic will always be the toughest challenge.
After the movie was released, it was a big disappointment. Tom hardly made any changes to the original story, nor did he make any changes to the important music clips. It can be seen that he brought the camera into the theater and recorded the entire theatrical performance.
Not only did it fail to show the advantages of the movie, but also because of the length of the movie, a large number of clips had to be deleted, which led to the story becoming a running account. The core that Victor Hugo injected into the play disappeared, leaving only one. Empty skin.
"Les Miserables" has been criticized by film critics, with only 63 points in the comprehensive review by the media. Although during the awards season, with the reputation and name of the original book, as well as strong academy public relations, eight nominations were received, but five of them were technical nominations, and the two actors who were really impressive—
Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. The former was originally from the Australian drama circle, and won the affirmation of the Tony Award, the highest award in American drama; the latter's mother was born in Broadway and received formal drama education since childhood. The outstanding performances of the two actors saved a little face for the film version of "Les Miserables", and Annie also successfully won the recognition of the Oscar for best supporting actress.
In fact, not just the movie version, but the theatrical version as well.
In 2006, after a three-year hiatus, Broadway once again rehearsed "Les Miserables" and put it on the stage despite the lack of scripts. However, the content of the adaptation is really limited, and the performance of the actors has not been able to break through. After the performance, it has been enthusiastically sought after by tourists. It has been performed on Broadway for more than a year, but the recognition of the Tony Award is completely missed.
As for the West End, "Les Miserables" is still being rehearsed, and the script and arias are still from the 1985 version, but the actors are constantly changing. This drama is still one of the most attended works in the West End of London, and its popularity remains high. But it is also precisely because of this that those creators are always throwing the taboo when considering adapting "Les Miserables".
As if no one dared to challenge "Hamlet", classic works like "Les Miserables", like Everest, are daunting.
Unexpectedly, the project Andy brought was actually "Les Miserables".
