1170 Boarding house life
The cold winter is bitter, the wind is howling, and the whole world disappears in a hazy halo. It seems so close, but yet so far away. Occasionally, you can hear the roar from the distance on the empty streets, but it makes it more and more vivid. The quietness and tranquility near Greenwich Village is nothing like New York..
Standing at the intersection of traffic lights, waiting for the red light to turn green, the raging wind swept across. Even if I pulled up my coat, the thin coat could not keep out the cold, and a cold air started to rush up from the soles of my feet; There are no other people around the quiet intersection, and there is an illusion in the trance: I am the only one left in the world..
Looking up, the surrounding skyscrapers are brightly lit, and bright haloes of light spread out in the vast expanse of night, intertwined with each other, like a light and tall spider web, surrounding The night is tightly blocked outside, forming another isolated place..
There is a story hidden behind every light, but none of it belongs to him.
red light turns into green light.
Withdrawing his sight and thoughts, he stepped forward, tugged on the erected collar, walked quickly across the zebra crossing, followed the direction of memory, and continued to move forward, but... ended up going in the wrong direction. Fortunately, Green Witch Village is a place as big as a palm. After making a small circle in the cold wind, the apartment is already in front of you before your head starts to get a headache..
Climbing up the stairs, his footsteps did not stop on the second floor. He walked all the way to the third floor and knocked lightly on the door. He seemed to have completely forgotten where the key was and quietly waited for a response..
After waiting for a short while, the sliding door opened sideways, and Matthew Dunlop's figure appeared in front of him. It was almost midnight, and Matthew changed into a set of dark blue plaid pajamas, and his neat hair was slightly It seems messy and not neatly taken care of, but the spirit is still strong and there is no trace of laziness or sleepiness..
“Can I stay here tonight?？”
Renly started to speak, but after he said it, he scratched his hair, seeming a little embarrassed and embarrassed, "Neil has a visitor tonight, and I don't want to ruin his date night; I left the Stanley house the night before yesterday. The kitchen was a mess. I thought he wouldn't welcome my visit..”
“Joel and Ethan... the soundproofing of the hotel they live in is really bad. I'm sure someone in the next room should have called the special service number last night." He spread his hands helplessly and shrugged. , "I originally planned to ask the secretary at the front desk in the recording studio if I could stay overnight, but unfortunately... I am not her type. She prefers Carey Mulligan's type..”
“So..." Renly wrinkled his nose and looked at the room behind Matthew, "Can I stay here tonight? I promise, it only takes one night. Tomorrow, tomorrow...well, tonight." At the end of his words, he seemed a little embarrassed..
Renly has not returned to his own home since the filming of "The Ballad of Drunkenness" began. He stays at a different friend's house every night and insists on sleeping on the sofa or even on the floor. He travels in a homeless manner. Walking in Greenwich Village, time seems to have returned to the 1960s, that era of wandering around the world..
Renly had stayed at Matthew's house for two nights before..
To be honest, Matthew couldn't understand Renly's choice.
Why does staying at different friends' houses help you understand the characters? Why can begging friends to stay with you every day help you get into the character state? More importantly, why Renly is in a state of embarrassment and desolation every day can help the filming of the movie？
The man in front of him is not the Renly that Matthew is familiar with..
Although the proud coldness still radiates from the inside out, even when asking for help, the tone is always a little proud and aloof. This is definitely not the correct attitude for asking for help; but the embarrassment and anxiety between the eyebrows and deep in the eyes are exposed. He felt a lack of confidence deep in his heart, and even felt a little panicked and embarrassed. The embarrassment revealed inadvertently was not at all what Renly looked like in his impression..
Matthew still remembers that when he was in elementary school, Renly was reading the "Kama Sutra" in class. The conservative teacher was so startled that he almost choked on his own saliva, but Renly remained calm. Calm and unhurried; later, at the teacher's request, Renly carried the books to the principal's office, still looking calm and not trying to hide anything..
The kind of uprightness that comes from the depths of the soul is the true pride.
But the most amazing part is that Renly is still Renly. In his words and actions, Renly does not confuse reality at all. Filming is filming, recording is recording, life is life, and the names of his friends are all accurate; the only difference The reason is...it's because the person standing in front of me is not Renly, but LeVine.
It's as if Le'Veon Davis is living in Greenwich Village now, and then he takes over the magpie's nest and enters Renly's life..
Matthew didn't know if "wonderful" was the right adjective, because it was too weird and too ridiculous..
But... Matthew accepted Renly's choice. This is Renly. Everything seems to be taken for granted. He can never understand but never refuses. This seems to be the right way to open up..
“Of course. No problem." Matthew nodded, moved his seat, and invited Renly into the room..
He glanced at Renly's wet coat, and then noticed the leather shoes on his feet that were half soaked. He shook his head slightly, without complaining, but just ordered, "Change to a pair of slippers, leather shoes." You can put it next to the radiator to bake, and then you can wear it again tomorrow. Do you still need to go to the recording studio tomorrow or do you need to start shooting again?？”
Renly took off his shoes and his soaked socks. He placed the shoes next to the radiator, but he didn't stop. "I'll go in and wash up first. You don't like throwing things around." , I remember." Renly showed a smile towards Matthew, and then disappeared from the bathroom door.
“dinner? "Matthew raised his voice and asked.
“What do you have? Just give me something to fill my stomach." Renly's voice came over, and then all he could hear was the sound of rushing water..
Matthew tilted his head. After all, he was still not used to it..
The tone and content of his words, the habits and methods of his actions, everything was not the familiar Renly. He suddenly felt a headache, and strongly suspected that he would start to suffer from schizophrenia if he continued to think about it. He couldn't help but complain, "No wonder they say actors are crazy.”
When Renly came out of the shower, he could immediately see Matthew sitting at his desk reading a book. Before going to bed every day, Matthew had the habit of reading. This was developed since childhood and cannot be changed when he grows up..
His eyes turned, and then he saw dinner prepared on the kitchen table, a plate of red wine braised beef, dotted with a few boiled potatoes, two broccoli and a handful of green beans, with a small basket placed next to it. Bread. It seems simple, but it is extremely rich..
Renly raised the corners of his mouth and said jokingly, "God, Matthew, is this your dinner? I think you can get married.".”
“Get lost." Matthew replied coldly without looking back..
Renly pursed his lips, but didn't care. He walked into the kitchen, and then there was the sound of pinging bells, which made Matthew roll his eyes. Sure enough, the attribute of "kitchen idiot" has continued. Come down, before his kitchen is demolished, he'd better ask aloud, "What do you need?"？”
“Salt.”
“Already placed on the table.”
“oh.”
Renly turned around and came to the dining table. He was originally going to sit down and eat, but after thinking about it, he picked up the plate, held the fork in one hand, and started eating directly. Such a simple and vulgar action was more suitable. Lewin’s living habits, and then he noticed Matthew’s calm and calm eyes next to him, and there was a trace of speechlessness hidden deep in his eyes..
Renly shrugged lightly and said lightly, "So, you haven't eaten in a folk bar?" He also raised his eyebrows at Matthew, and then looked around, "Do you have beer here?？”
Matthew grinded his teeth secretly and said word by word, "Renly Hall！”
Red wine braised beef paired with beer? Such an American way of eating is simply beyond Matthew’s bottom line.
Renly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, I understand." He turned around and began to spin around the room, muttering, "Isn't it just a bottle of beer?？”
Matthew's eyes were fixed on the plate in Renly's hand, always worried that the sauce might drip down, which would be a disaster, but Renly didn't care and walked freely. , Matthew was frightened every step of the way, and finally Renly stopped in front of the bookshelf..
Matthew's endurance limit has also reached its limit. The words are sharpened from the gaps between his teeth, and they seem to have become sharper. "Renly Sebastian Hall, I warn you, get off my bookshelf! Stay away from them." far away.”
“Are you warning Renly Hall now, or are you warning Le'Veon Davis? "Renly was still unhurried..
Matthew was stunned for a moment, and could vaguely catch the faint smile in Renly's words, and then saw Renly turn around, his eyes filled with mischievous light, and in an instant, there was a burst of nothingness. The feeling of powerlessness surged over him. Although he knew that his next question would be very stupid, he still asked, "When did you notice that?"？”
Noticed his discomfort, then deliberately created a prank, constantly challenging his bottom line.
Renly pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "When you open the door,.”
This is Renly, this is the Renly he is familiar with. But now, Matthew doesn't know whether he should first marvel at Renly's precise control, how he can move between the character and reality with ease, or whether he should first be annoyed that he actually... I was fooled once. The pranks of this guy in front of me are always hard to guard against.！
