1378 fair trade
“Therefore, you don’t know about the paparazzi hiding on the opposite side either.？”
“What...what……”
Melissa was frightened and almost jumped up. She moved her eyes up and down and left and right in fear, forcing herself to calm down, but it was not an easy task. Her voice began to tremble slightly, and she had to He clenched his fists and stood up suddenly, "Paparazzi? What? Where are the paparazzi?"？”
In a flash, Melissa made a decision. Her survival instinct exploded with huge energy, regardless of her own embarrassment. After standing up, Melissa looked at Renly nervously again. , "What happened just now was recorded by the paparazzi. Will they have any misunderstanding? What I can explain to them is that it was just a misunderstanding and I accidentally fell down..”
The subtext is that she knows nothing about the paparazzi. Even if the paparazzi appears, it must be because of Renly. After all, Renly is the focus of attention in North America and is always exposed to the paparazzi's lens..
She is quick-witted and quick-witted. Maybe Melissa is not smart, but she still showed some quick-wittedness at this time. In the crisis situation, her potential was stimulated. Her performance at this time is much more realistic than before..
However, even if Renly didn't see through the trick before, Melissa can't get over it now: the performance is too exaggerated, just like the performance of a high school stage play. No wonder, Melissa was able to perform in the CW TV series "Supergirl" As the protagonist in the drama, she is indeed very suitable for youth-oriented idol dramas, and some clues can already be caught..
“Are you sure? Renly said meaningfully, "Are you sure you don't know that there is a paparazzi hiding in a corner of the building across the street?" Are you sure you don’t know that his shooting angle is exactly the back of the front-reverse shot, making it very easy to create misalignment effects? Are you sure you don't know that paparazzi is now hiding with a guilty conscience?？”
Melissa froze on the spot, words of denial already welling up in her throat, but under the gaze of Renly's eyes, she couldn't make any sound..
“Did you know? The paparazzi waiting at my door every day never hide their presence, because they need a better shooting angle. They are here to wait and see, so why hide? Do you still know? The paparazzi waiting at my door every day know very well that there will be no news about me during the filming, and they are not even willing to wait here for this.？”
Renly is not a person who likes to explain, because the facts are the facts, and sooner or later the truth will be revealed; at the same time, he does not enjoy the process of using facts to force the other party into a corner, and there is really no need to be aggressive..
But at this moment, Renly listed all the facts in detail, which truly made Melissa feel ashamed, just like when she met the stylist Melvin Bly on the Upper East Side to attend the Emmy Awards. Des General was really firing on all cylinders, and anyone who knew Renly knew that Melissa had pushed his limits..
Melissa fell into the ice cellar.
Renly ignored him at all, turned his head and shouted in the opposite direction, "Sir, please come out? Please come out while we can still talk calmly; otherwise, even if you are now If you don’t come out, in the future, after you sell the photos, I can always know the source. Or are you planning to hide the fruits of today’s labor forever and never see the light of day?？”
damn！
John's back was against the wall, his right fist hit the wall hard, and he cursed fiercely, "Damn it.！”
Although he had already guessed that things would not go smoothly; but who knew that he would be discovered so easily? What a bad luck! Unlucky enough！
John is at war with heaven and man, go out? Still not going out？
At the end of the hesitation, John remembered the words of his colleague and friend Joey Murphy: I personally think Renly is actually a very talkative subject for candid photography. He will never deliberately dodge. As long as we can stick to the bottom line, he is the best. Easy to get along with and the best person to talk to..
After much tossing and turning, John decided to believe Joey once..
So, John stood up, left his shelter, opened the door, exposed his whole body to the sun, and walked step by step towards the direction of Renly and Melissa..
The paparazzi actually showed up！
The paparazzi actually showed up like this！
Melissa was on the verge of collapse. She kept winking at John and looking at Renly's face. In the midst of the torment, she didn't know what to do. She tried to speak several times, but was worried that she would say it. Wrong words may be self-defeating. Between hesitation and struggle, John has already arrived in front of two people..
Renly lowered his jaw meaningfully, "So you are really hiding there..”
“What? "Melissa was shocked.
“What? "John was also shocked, and then John stammered, "But...just now...you...you don't know...then...what's going on?……”
Renly showed a big smile and said, "Just try your luck. I just noticed something that vaguely looked like a lens, right next to the flower pot, but I couldn't confirm it completely, so I raised my voice and tried to Give it a try." Renly is not Sherlock Holmes, so how can he understand everything in detail?？
John opened his mouth, "Then am I now... taking the initiative to deliver it to you?"？”
Renly pursed his lips, looking relaxed and carefree..
John was shocked and annoyed. It was obviously because of Melissa's panic just now, which forced John to stand up, and when he hid again, neither his figure nor the camera was completely hidden, so he was discovered. Otherwise, his Disguise will never be discovered！
But regretting it now was of no use. John quickly calmed down and dealt with the situation at hand..
Two thoughts were rushing through John's mind: should he choose to continue to the end and publish the photos as planned, Melissa would still have the upper hand, and Renly might also fall into the trap of making no excuses; or should he choose to send a friendly signal? , using these photos as bargaining chips to establish a good cooperative relationship with Renly？
Melissa? Still Renly？
This was not a difficult choice. John opened the camera in his hand, took out the memory card inside, and handed it over on his own initiative, "You can accept it. Just treat today's events as if they never happened.".”
“you! "Melissa took half a step forward and looked at John in disbelief. There was no dialogue, no negotiation, or even confrontation. The other party actually broke the contract like this.？
John didn't care, "I will refund the relevant fees. I will also take the initiative to take responsibility for the failure of this mission. You can publicize it as much as you want." The paparazzi took over the candid photography mission, but it ended up messing up. It still has an impact on reputation, but in John's opinion, if he can get on the line with Renly, then everything else doesn't matter..
“I..." Melissa tried to say something else. She didn't care about the cost or reputation at all. What she needed was the result. Even if Renly had already seen through it, she still hoped that the plan could be completed this time. Exposure was the most important thing. important.
But before the words could be spoken, Renly, who was standing next to him, spoke, "No, you can keep it..”
refused？
Actually refused！
Melissa and John both looked at Renly in surprise. They couldn't believe their ears - so many accidents happened today that their brains couldn't handle it..
why？
“You can publish today's photos. Whether it's the truth or lies, I don't care too much." Renly said lightly. After his anger calmed down, he has now regained his composure and his mind is spinning rapidly..
In fact, after the news is announced, whether it is the way Melissa thinks or the truth is announced honestly, the impact on Renly is really limited. Renly doesn't care about public opinion or industry rumors. Not even bothering to explain or clarify——
After experiencing the "Hypegate" incident, Renly has gradually become immune to such things..
Renly's real concern is "blasting drummers"”.
If relevant news breaks out now, or even negative news, people will easily blur the focus, especially for independent films, it will be a serious interference, and it is likely to affect the filming of Damien Chazelle and the entire crew. work, and even future release and distribution work.
In Renly's eyes, a Melissa Benoist is not as good as a "Breaking Drummer"”.
Therefore, Renly's focus has never been on himself or Melissa..
“But we can make a deal." Renly said immediately, which made John's right hand holding the memory card stop in mid-air, and he looked at it with curiosity, "I tell you an important message, you can put the memory card Keep it, the only requirement is to wait until "Explosion Drummer" is completed before announcing it. As for how to announce it and what content it will be, it is completely up to you..”
But how to respond is Renly's business..
Even though Renly didn't say this, John knew it well. He folded his fingers and said with a smile, "Deal.".”
John did not ask what the news was, nor did he measure whether the value of the news was fair. For him, establishing a personal relationship with Renly was the best bargaining chip..
If you are a truly smart person, you can simply destroy the memory card at this time and express your sincerity first before Renly actually shows his trading chips. This is the wise choice..
Such an idea once flashed through John's mind, but he was not a hero after all - otherwise he would not have accepted Melissa's invitation today. After all, he still couldn't let go of the petty profits in his hands, and the idea was quickly suppressed. Even though it was gone, he still held the memory card firmly in his hand..
“John, you... you can't do this! We've already agreed, you can't do this! "Melissa finally found her voice and watched everything with her mouth open. Renly didn't even spend any effort. He completely turned the situation around in just two sentences. So what should she do? She can still do it now. what to do？
It's not fair. It's not fair！
