1347 collateral damage
Tonight's concert went smoothly without any glitches or accidents, and there were also wonderful on-the-spot performances in the second half of the performance. When the performance ended, the audience stood up and applauded for the conductor and the trumpet. Fanatic applause, this is really a kind of enjoyment.
Now there is such a turbulent sea of people outside the David Geffen Hall. It is obviously not because of the accident of the performance, but it must be because of the appearance of important people in the VIP box. This is also the most reasonable explanation, just like in Alme It's the same thing as the D.A. Theater or the Richard Rogers Theater.
“It seems that some big shot will appear at today's concert." Renly said in a low voice. Damien and Rooney were unable to refute. They looked at each other with speechless expressions, indicating that they were complaining. Renly said softly. Shrugging lightly, "I know, we must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the scene may become chaotic..”
Renly has not forgotten that he is also a "public figure". In such an occasion, once he is recognized, the situation will not be able to get out of hand..
Damien and Rooney didn't know what was going on outside. They were just complaining about Renly's so-called "big shot". Now that they heard that Renly was self-aware, they didn't say anything more and just whispered. Let’s discuss: Is it too late to use the back door? Will there be a large crowd there too?？
“Renly-Hall！”
Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry burst out among the bustling noise, and all eyes were directed in the same direction..
Renly laughed dumbly, glanced at Damien, Rooney and others, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect to be exposed so soon. What should I do now? Should I stay alone to break up the relationship? Then you guys Escape together as a group? Is this how the scripts are written in war movies?？”
Even now, Renly was still joking.
Apparently, Renly didn't realize exactly what was going on..
After a concert, the matter of acting bravely for justice had been completely forgotten. It was just a simple task, and there was nothing worthy of praise in the first place. Therefore, Renly just thought that they accidentally discovered the relationship between him and Rooney. Whereabouts, driven by gossip emotions, paying attention by the way, this is just "collateral damage".
Compared to Renly, who was "unacquainted with the world", Rooney was vaguely aware of the abnormality, but for a while, she could not accurately grasp the cause and effect, and could not tell a reason..
Damien, Simmons and others were even more confused and had no clue at all..
But they had no time to react, let alone escape. Because all the crowds swarmed in the direction of Renly and his party, quickly surrounding them like a tide, even completely ignoring the fact that they had just left David G. For other audiences in the Fen Hall, the order at the scene was a bit chaotic..
This isn't the first time Renly has faced such a situation..
Renly did not move his steps and stood honestly in place. Only in this way will the crowds of people who are coming one after another keep flowing in the same direction, instead of vertical and horizontal movements that completely disrupt the rhythm and cause more chaos; more The important thing is that after taking a firm stand with him as the center of the circle, the order on the scene can be slightly stabilized..
This is a relatively safe approach.
Sure enough, a huge crowd of people arrived at Renly's side. After a small bump, the order at the scene was temporarily under control. Before Renly could ask a question, people swarmed in with questions one after another..
“Renly, may I ask what happened with the robbery just now?？”
“What exactly happened?？”
“What were you thinking at that time? Why do you choose to take the initiative?？”
“Have you ever thought that you might get hurt?？”
“Someone at the scene witnessed you and Rooney appearing together. Is this true?？”
“Are you and Rooney dating? How long did it last? Is it from the 'Gravity' period?？”
“Can you tell us the details of the robbery incident?？”
……
Renly showed a slightly surprised look. He had no idea that the reporters were actually exploring this issue..
Turning their heads, Renly and Rooney exchanged glances..
Rooney was slightly surprised for a moment, but it didn't last long. She then nodded lightly in realization. All her doubts seemed to be explained. She couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, "They are all for you." Come." It seems that a hint of schadenfreude can be captured..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, "They are here for you too..”
Rooney rolled her eyes helplessly, expressing silent complaints..
A smile appeared in Renly's eyes, and their eyes met for just a moment. Then he looked at the reporters in front of him again, "So, are you here specifically for this matter?？”
After receiving affirmative answers from everyone who nodded, Renly laughed dumbly, "This is not an important matter. There were four gangsters on the roadside who were hurting a delivery boy. We got out of the car and drank them away, and also helped complete the call to the police. , that's all.”
“……”
The reporters were collectively speechless. Under Renly's description, all the thrills and ups and downs became dull and boring. It seemed that there was no need to discuss it at all. Even they themselves felt a sense of stupidity; but the reporters They still did not give up easily. Based on what they learned at the scene and the details described by Kianush, they started asking questions bit by bit..
Not only Renly, Rooney has also become the subject of questioning.
Before they knew it, Renly and Rooney were standing side by side in front of the reporters, looking like a couple being interviewed..
What's even more exaggerated is that Simmons, Justin and others were all standing nearby with their hands folded on their chests, showing expressions of watching the show, especially Damien who was still "pointing the country" and kept pointing with his head. , as if the director is instructing the actors to perform.
The scene is a bit funny.
The only exception is Melissa.
Melissa was quietly moving her steps upstream among the surging crowd. Finally, she squeezed behind Renly and Rooney, and stood quietly behind Rooney's shoulders. Her eyes quickly searched for the target. He looked at the reporter's camera and showed a sweet smile, then quietly raised his right hand and made a scissors gesture..
No reporter noticed Melissa, all eyes were focused on the two protagonists, but the fast flashing flash still truly recorded the entire scene..
Justin Hurwitz vaguely caught Melissa's movements from the corner of his sight, but Melissa's male companion tonight was also standing next to her. The other party didn't say much. Justin hesitated for a moment and chose to shut up. Put your mouth up and pretend you didn’t see it.
Melissa thought her actions were very secretive and no one noticed; in fact, Renly had already noticed.
Because the nobles always kept a distance, and because of the fan chaos at Lincoln Center, Renly paid special attention to the movement of people in the dense crowd, especially the movement around his body. Consciously or unconsciously, You can always catch the figures wandering nearby from the corner of your vision..
Vaguely, Renly could understand the meaning of Melissa's move. Although he didn't think it was necessary, it was everyone's choice, and there was nothing worthy of special evaluation. He would not support it, but he would not be opposed to.
Renly still focused his attention and looked at the reporters in front of him, "I don't think this is a very important matter. Now that you already know the news, who knows whether the current situation of the deliveryman has been determined. The body is safe and sound？”
Facing Renly's question, all the reporters looked at each other, but no one could answer..
Renly shrugged helplessly. Even though he didn't say a word, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. They were just a group of opportunists. They didn't care about the real protagonist of the incident, but they couldn't wait to come to Lincoln Center to wait for him. Two people who are not in any way potentially dangerous, just because of their public personas..
“If anyone has the latest information, I hope you can inform me in time." Renly said with a smile, he did not mean to condemn, but the irony was still revealed..
In front of reporters and in front of fans, Renly can show different states. He can always embarrass reporters without making a move. Today is no exception..
The brief silence caused a subtle change in the momentum between the interviewer and the interviewee..
Finally, a reporter broke the silence and raised his voice to ask, "Crime incidents are not uncommon in New York, even in Manhattan. When I passed by in a taxi, the first reaction in my mind was not hesitation, or maybe Call the police? When you chose to rush forward, did you really think of yourself as a superhero?？”
A simple rhetorical question, but it contained a hidden meaning and launched an attack in an ironic way. Especially the last sentence was full of aggression, and even faintly mocked Renly for deliberately creating news and pretending to be a superhero..
Renly was not angry, but chuckled, "What did I do wrong? Why do people always think I am a superhero? Or is every Hollywood actor a superhero?？”
Renly is still Renly, in a mocking and ironic way, vaguely complaining: he has nothing to do with superheroes; further, Renly is still complaining about the lone hero model in Hollywood movies, gradually forming a fixed illusion. , as if every Hollywood actor should be a superhero in life.
After the little teasing ended, Renly's smile faded and his expression became serious, "In addition, I don't think this is such a special decision. I just made a choice that a normal person should make. This is What I have to do. I'm not the type to take out my phone and take pictures even in a crisis situation..”
Who would take out their cell phone to take pictures in a crisis situation?？
Many people do, but journalists bear the brunt of it.
