1183 Take off your guard
This is the Renly Paul has never seen before.
There is no more elegance and calmness, no more indifference and calmness, no more maturity and wisdom. The sunny temperament of a big boy comes to my face, as if I have jumped into the emerald-like translucent lake in the hot summer. In the middle of the night, the sound of water came to my ears, and then the noise and chaos of the whole world disappeared, replaced by pure midsummer..
cool and clear.
The smiles in his eyes overflowed bit by bit from the depths of his soul, lighting up his whole face and the whole world. It seemed that even the sound of the wind became lighter and more cheerful, bringing joyful laughter and joy. colorful joy.
They don’t have smartphones, they don’t have luxury swimming pools, they don’t have top-of-the-line cars, they don’t have exquisite toys, they don’t have cool air conditioning, they don’t have rich snacks, they don’t even have new clothes and good shoes, all they have is just a piece of white foam. Simple surfboards, but at this moment, they are the happiest children in the world, enjoying their childhood wantonly.
Involuntarily, the smile on Paul's lips bloomed.
“Look, look, there's a big octopus there, be careful！”
In the midst of the laughter, Renly's voice sounded again. The next second, Paul saw all the children scattering, avoiding him from a distance, and began to clench their little fists and pose. He got into a counterattack stance, and then he realized that he was actually the big octopus..
So Paul started waving his hands and shouted, "Ouch!"！”
A trace of doubt flashed through my mind: How should the octopus shout?？
But in a blink of an eye, Paul began to open his arms and swoop towards the children. Whoops, all the children began to run quickly, and the young smiling faces bloomed wantonly, and the flying dust was in the golden color. A brilliant rainbow light is outlined in the sunlight, which is colorful and dazzling..
A minute ago, Paul was lost in this strange little village. The hot weather made him sweat profusely and wet his T-shirt. He was inevitably a little irritable and his mind was full of confusion..
A minute later, Paul became the most popular kid in the square. All the children surrounded Paul, shouting, "Octopus! Octopus!" and kept hitting Paul with their small fists. The scene was a bit "bloody" for a while”.
Standing next to him, Renly laughed loudly. Without the restraints of etiquette, the cover of a mask, or the restraint of elegance, Renly just laughed wantonly and freely. The hearty laughter broke through the restraints on his chest, vigorously. surging and stirring.
“shark! Quick, let's attack the shark together! We must unite! "In the crisis, Paul finally grasped the life-saving straw, and then led the army of children to swarm towards Renly..
But surprisingly, Renly did not dodge, and just stood there, letting the children surround him and drown him completely; amidst the attacks of the children, he made a gesture of giving up resistance, as if the shark was really He was defeated and died heroically in the end..
The suffocated and rough exaggerated acting skills were really too exaggerated. They didn’t look like top actors around the world at all. They seemed to be childish and brilliant imitations of primary school students. This made Paul stunned, and then he clapped his hands and laughed crazily. My muscles have become stiff, like hard stones.
If reporters or film critics saw the "shark death" performance performed by Renly just now, they would be ashamed to vomit blood and eventually bleed to death..
Paul laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
“Miguel! Miguel！”
“Angel, I'm home, ready for lunch！”
“Miguel! Don’t you even remember lunch time? Come back quickly! Otherwise, I won’t eat today！”
“Anthony, Anthony, Anthony……”
“It's like this every time! Do I have to shout during lunch time? When you come back, I will definitely pinch your ears！”
The shouts one after another, loud and refreshing, pungent and fierce, echoed in the criss-crossing alleys. They were calls from their mothers, and then all the children dispersed with a roar, running wildly in different directions. , responding to the call for fatal chains.
Suddenly, one of the children stopped, turned around, and shouted, "Sir, can we continue the afternoon surfing practice?"？”
With one word, most of the children stopped one after another, and all their eager eyes flocked towards Renly. Then they saw Renly who was packing up his foam surfboard. He didn't look back, but just shouted, "I need Nap. Meet me at the beach at the pier at three o'clock. Remember, whoever comes over early to wake me up from my nap will leave me to go on a date with the shark in the afternoon.！”
“See you in the afternoon, sir..”
“Sir, see you later.”
“Goodbye sir.”
There were shouts one after another, and the bustling place was so lively. The children shouted and retreated. After a while, they all disappeared in the small alleys. The whole square became quiet in an instant, if it weren't for the still surging in the air. There was countless dust, reminding Paul that all the scenes just now were real, and Paul almost had the illusion that "this is a dream".
Turning around, Paul once again saw the foam surfboards scattered on the ground, reminding him of what had just happened, and now Renly was cleaning them up..
Without asking about the cause and effect, Paul also bent down and started to help clean up, and then piled all the surfboards at the door of a dilapidated store on the east side of the square. This was an earth-yellow door, simply pieced together with a few wooden boards. , it cannot stop any gangsters or storms at all, and it may fall apart with just a little force..
Renly poked his head in and shouted, "Antonio, I'm going to town, do you need anything?"？”
“Climbing rope." An old and hoarse voice came from inside, "Also, you can go to the liquor store to ask when our goods will be delivered. I called the old guy twice, both of which were voicemails. .If you get stuck in that old guy, you might as well just pull the goods back..”
“no problem! "Renly replied simply, turned around to greet Paul, and then walked straight away..
Paul, who had no idea what was going on at this time, could only keep up step by step, looked back, and then saw a dangling plaque above the doorway, "Antonio's Tango". It turned out that This is today's destination.
“Renly, do you need a car? I rented this car from Miami." Paul quickly followed..
“No, Antonio's old pickup truck is parked on the street outside. Let's drive the pickup truck over." Renly said briskly, and then walked briskly, "Let's go, you came at the right time today, the children need their first time. Practice in the water. I could use a helper. We need to go to town to pick up the goods now. I ordered fifteen surfboards for the children. They should arrive today..”
Confused, Paul quickly followed up..
Although he didn't understand what happened, he could vaguely feel that Renly in front of him seemed to have taken off all his guard, and was more real than ever..
Paul couldn't help but think back to the filming period of "Edge of Tomorrow". Known as the "King of Pranksters", Renly was always so youthful and energetic, and his endless tricks made everyone complain; in that elegant way Underneath the mask, there is a hot and innocent heart, which seems to have never aged..
The same is true today.
“Are those children your students? "Paul didn't ask about the ins and outs, and the topic fell directly on the vivid faces..
“No, it's not." Renly laughed happily, "They were just passing the time, I provided another choice. For their parents, there is no difference; but for them, it is enough for them to find A way to vent, instead of stalking strangers, stealing, eating and drinking.”
Behind the understatement, one can feel the tenacity and sadness of grassroots life..
This is a remote town, located in the south of Florida. The town has no resources and is considered a run-down fishing village. However, there is a large group of reefs and corals on the offshore coastline, forming a natural barrier. Anyone who comes in must take huge risks, and the so-called fishermen have given up fishing long ago..
Now, the main source of economy here is smuggling, from drugs to people. Smuggling from South America has chosen this pass, and they can often make breakthroughs, and then stay in the town for a short time, and use it as a starting point to enter North America.
One after another, most of the residents of the town left for other places, and only a very small part of them stayed. Gradually, the lawless people and illegal immigrants settled here, doing dangerous things here secretly. working illegally, trying to have a life of their own.
But they gradually discovered that the "American Dream" promoted in movies and TV was just a bubble after all. Even after they came to the United States, they still lived at the bottom of society and struggled..
Those children are the children of illegal immigrants. Most of them are from Cuba, and a small number are from Mexico and Colombia. Most of their parents are working illegally, and they do not need to go to school. They are there all day and night. Wandering around the town, even dealing with drug dealers.
Renly is not a savior. He has no way to help these illegal immigrants or change their lives, but at least he can keep the children away from those dangers..
After finishing the filming of "Transcendence", Renly realized one thing. The foundation for changing the future and life is always knowledge. Therefore, he held a small surfing class so that the children's energetic energy could find another one. A way to vent; besides surfing, he also teaches some simple reading and literacy skills..
It's only been going on for ten days now, and we can't see any results yet, but at least more and more children are gathering to learn to surf..
