1376 I feel pity for you
John felt like a circus monkey, jumping up and down and scratching his ears and head, which was really ridiculous. What was even more depressing was that he was "performing" so hard, but the audience opposite him remained indifferent, as if he had lost focus and The focus was average, and the deep sense of frustration brought John to the verge of explosion..
Melissa searched around blankly, her pupils gradually losing focus and focus, and her vision was just blurry. She finally caught the figure that suddenly appeared, and waved her hands towards herself vigorously. Only then did she react. He focused his attention again and nodded quickly. His expression of joy suddenly bloomed, and he felt visibly relaxed..
John made a gesture to answer the phone, and then dialed Melissa's mobile phone again, "Calm down quickly, Renly should appear at any time..”
After the quick explanation, before John even had time to hang up the phone, he caught the movement in the apartment building with his peripheral vision: Renly was coming downstairs..
At this time, John also became panicked. He didn't bother to say hello to Melissa. He quickly hung up the phone and quickly hid his figure again, but this was really not an easy task..
Today is the first day of the official reading of the script for "Explosive Drummer", and the crew will officially start filming in three days..
Everyone in the industry knows that Renly is a very punctual actor, at least during the filming period. There have never been rumors of being late; not only that, Renly will also arrive at the scene a little early to prepare for the next part. Be prepared for filming and related work.
Therefore, Renly's appearance time is basically predictable. Melissa can wait at the door early and she will definitely not be disappointed..
If it hadn't been for the little episode just now, then all the processes would have gone according to plan, and it couldn't have been more perfect; but now, John couldn't help but start to tremble with his fingertips, the shadow of the famous tree, the industry rumors about Renly There were so many, especially those about the confrontation between paparazzi and reporters, that John inevitably became wary..
Melissa was still holding the phone in her hand, and there was a busy signal from it. She couldn't help but frowned, "Hello? John? Hello? Is the signal bad? What did you just say? I'm calm, I'm calm now, As long as things go well, I won't worry……”
Ear.
The sound of the door opening came from behind, which was particularly loud and harsh on the early morning street. Even though Melissa was speaking, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Her words stopped and she turned around slowly. Just like a clockwork doll, the stiff movements are so jerky that anyone with eyes can tell something is wrong..
What's more, after turning around, Melissa showed a ghostly expression, which was not easy for Renly to ignore even if he wanted to..
“Good morning." Renly smiled and nodded..
Melissa was almost about to cry. Renly actually showed up at this time. This... this was like a leak in the house and it rained all night. The first thought that came to her mind was: She didn't say anything on the phone just now. Bar？
But before she had time to think deeply, Renly had already said hello with a smile. Melissa realized that she could no longer panic. She had to cheer up and proceed as planned. Yes, proceed as planned. Melissa secretly shook her head. She clenched her fists and cheered herself up. She had practiced it over and over again in the agent's apartment before. She could do it. She could do it.！
“Good morning." Melissa suddenly realized that her current expression was just right. Her slightly red eyes and panicked eyes perfectly matched today's theme, so she gave up her plan to hide it. There was a hint of grievance and shrinkage in his heart, and he stopped talking and cut off all subsequent words in place, quietly waiting for Renly's inquiry..
According to common sense, if a friend of the same crew appears downstairs inexplicably early in the morning with a embarrassed look on his face, anyone's first reaction is to ask about the reason and express concern and condolences. .But...Renly is an anomaly.
Renly stopped slowly and politely kept a distance, not too far away or too close, about three steps away. He looked at Melissa quietly and gentlemanly, and after taking the initiative to say hello, he said Instead of asking about the situation urgently, he allowed the silence to spread slowly, waiting for Melissa to speak..
This is not wariness or alienation, but a kind of etiquette.
Never ask about the other party's personal affairs easily, even if the other party shows ups and downs of emotions, this is part of etiquette; when a guest visits rashly, even if he is an unwelcome guest, the host must show enough generosity, this is also etiquette part.
If the other party intends to reveal it, then they will naturally speak up; if the other party has no intention of mentioning it, then maintaining appropriate space and distance is the best choice..
There was a moment of silence, and Renly politely left room for maneuver. After a moment of silence, Melissa still didn't speak, and Renly took the initiative to send out an invitation, "There is a coffee shop on the corner, and the owner's hand-ground coffee is the best in the neighborhood. Okay, I won’t recommend their Blue Mountain. The recently arrived batch has an unsatisfactory sour taste; but there is a batch of Mandheling from Sumatra, which is definitely the best choice..”
Melissa was a little stunned and dazed, this... what on earth is going on?？
Early in the morning, a colleague from the film crew suddenly visited, but Renly didn't ask for the specific reason, but he talked about coffee? What Sumatra and what Mandheling? This, this isn't quite right, is it? what happened？
Seeing Renly making an invitation gesture, Melissa finally reacted, and the original plan in her mind started to work quickly. She quickly said urgently, "No, no need... I mean, I am I came here specially to apologize." Melissa took half a step forward and said the lines she had prepared in advance..
Renly cast a confused look, not understanding what Melissa meant..
“I was too rude last time at Lincoln Center." Melissa's eyes turned slightly red, but she still tried to straighten her back and showed a strong look, "I have never seen so many media reporters at the scene. After experiencing such a scene, my head suddenly became hot and I was confused for a moment. Later, when I watched the news report, I realized that my behavior was really rude and it was obviously wrong..”
Melissa raised her head and looked at Renly with tearful eyes. She took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and showed a perfect smile, as bright as the sun, a little aggrieved but pretending to be strong. , blooming proudly like a daisy, "Next, we need to collaborate on this work for a long time. I am a newcomer and there is still a lot to learn. I sincerely hope to complete this work perfectly..”
Melissa stared at Renly intently, but the smile on her lips was like a wild chrysanthemum swaying in the wind, fresh and natural, which made me pity her..
Renly felt something was strange, but couldn't explain why. Maybe Melissa's agent realized the problem and asked Melissa to come and apologize, which makes sense; despite Melissa's expression It was a bit too deliberate, but Renly didn't think much about it. Maybe Melissa was unwilling to do it.？
Renly still maintained a gentleman's smile and bowed slightly, "Don't worry. It didn't hurt my feelings..”
Although he couldn't explain why, Renly still kept his distance. Whether it was out of gentlemanly etiquette or out of vigilance and intuition, Renly had no intention of becoming friends with Melissa..
Melissa took two steps forward and leaned towards Renly, trying to use visual dislocation to create the illusion that she and Renly were embracing. However, unexpectedly, Renly moved forward calmly. He took a step - but it was not a direct confrontation, but a misplaced step, from the left to the right, maintaining the space between the two people as they were..
How to politely avoid hugging without hurting the other person's feelings is one of the required courses for nobles. In this course, Arthur is a master, trying his best to avoid hugging in various situations, as much as possible Keep your distance, that's Arthur's ultimate goal.
Right now Renly is avoiding hugs from strangers.
“I sincerely thank you for coming here to apologize for such a trivial matter. I think that in the next period of time, there may be rumors in the circle that I am a super famous person." While changing his steps, Renly also joked with a smile, The understatement shifts the focus and emphasis.
If he knew what he was doing, he should have walked down Renly's steps now, so that he could still keep his face and live in peace, and Renly would pretend that nothing happened; but for Melissa, it was already too late. There's no turning back.
Melissa was stunned for a moment. She could notice that Renly had changed his position, but everything was so natural that she couldn't tell whether it was an accident or not. Renly's voice came to her ears, and Merry Sha came back to her senses and forced herself to smile, "No, of course not..”
After a few simple words of coping, Melissa regained her composure and launched another attack. Her watery eyes stared at Renly motionlessly, wholeheartedly, "I am a little looking forward to and a little nervous about this cooperation. To be honest, just imagining it makes me a little breathless. It is a rare opportunity to be able to work with Renly Hall and learn acting..”
While speaking, he took steps forward.
Melissa walked towards the direction of Renly for the second time, slightly put her chin away, her eyes moved, and she made a gentle and graceful look, like a kitten, curling up lazily and nostalgically next to Renly. in the arms of.
Most men have no way to refuse such a gesture and appearance, especially to the person who takes the initiative..
But the premise is that when this man faces the attraction of Wenwenxiang, his IQ begins to drop sharply, and he habitually thinks with his lower body..
Unfortunately, Renly is not.
