1380 Hard-hearted
Melissa forced herself to cheer up, this was not an easy task. But, she had no choice. She messed up, and things were messed up like this, although she still didn't understand what happened, how could Renly She had seen through everything, but it had come to this, and she was now in a desperate situation, and her survival instinct began to boil in her body..
Renly rejected John's proposal. She was still not fired from the show.
this is good news.
A glimmer of light flashed deep in Melissa's eyes, full of hope. Renly did not rush to kill everyone, but Renly was still tolerant and generous. Does this mean...Renly can let things go? So, how should she impress Renly?？
“I'm sorry." Melissa said carefully, showing her truest face - she felt panic and fear, which was unfailing, but she still tried to keep her posture low, like an ant, humbly pleading. With Renly's forgiveness, she knew that those in higher positions liked to see people like this: as if they could control the life and death of others..
Melissa looked at Renly's expression out of the corner of her eyes: There was no change. This is good news. It shows that her strategy is correct..
“I...I know this is wrong, but it was all my agent's idea. She said this is how Hollywood works." Melissa did not cry out, but mumbled in a choked way, then Fragile but with aggrieved tenacity, she will not be too flattering, but she can show her "persistence"”.
She knows how to impress a man.
“She said that this kind of opportunity is truly rare and I must seize it. I refused, I denied it, but she didn’t give me many choices.” Melissa hesitated, trying her best to throw away all the blame. To an agent, this is not unusual, in fact, this is how actors and agents work together.
But the smart thing about Melissa is that she did not blame the agent too much until the point was made, but later took the blame on herself, "I know, I know, in the final analysis, this is all my choice, I nodded and agreed. I came forward in person. This is still my fault. I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't agree..”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry……”
As she spoke, Melissa covered her cheeks and tears flowed through her hands. She didn't make any demands, she just kept apologizing and begging for mercy, because she knew clearly that apology was the only core thing at this moment. The main point is that any request will not achieve the goal, but may cause the other party to feel resentful..
Renly stood aside without saying a word..
Everything in front of me is like a mime, full of an absurd and embarrassing sense of inexplicable joy, presenting the ugliest side of Hollywood's vanity fair in the most vulgar way..
This is not the first time Renly has encountered a similar situation. At the fork in the road in Vanity Fair, he made different choices in a single thought. There is no right or wrong, it is just different value orientations. He leads to the end in his own way. There is no It is necessary to condemn the other party, but it is just that we have different opinions and do not seek each other..
But Melissa chose the most vulgar way, like a low-quality soap opera or a childish high school stage play, dramatizing everything, but hiding a strong sense of vulgarity and boredom..
This kind of method cannot go any further in Vanity Fair. Of course, it may be because Melissa has never been exposed to truly advanced methods. This is the best method she knows. This is not her fault..
So people always say that character determines destiny, and vision determines life..
Objectively speaking, Melissa is smart, she knows how to seize opportunities, she also knows how to examine moderation, and she also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Especially her choices and control under crisis situations are really impressive. It was my first meeting with Lincoln Center. Compared with the purity and sweetness of the time, they are far apart.
Melissa raised her gaze through her fingers and quietly looked at Renly, but all she saw was a calm face. She was a little unclear. This was not normal..
So Melissa decided to take the initiative.
“Renly, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize. There will be no next time, absolutely no next time. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Melissa said urgently, taking a small step forward. Trying to grab Renly's right hand.
But Renly quietly gave way and avoided her movements, which made Melissa freeze on the spot, tears falling down like broken pearls, "You You still refuse to forgive me, right? I really realized that I was wrong. Or is there anything I can do to make up for it? I am willing, really, I am serious. I promise, there will be no next time..”
“I know there will be no next time." Renly said calmly. Faced with Melissa's tears, he showed a stone-hearted calmness and calmness. The extreme drama and extreme calmness formed a sharp contrast. There was a gap. It's so big that it creates an incredible sense of absurdity.
Melissa froze on the spot, tears hanging on her eyelashes, not knowing why.
Renly was still smiling, and he was still the gentleman in his life above the media, but the warmth in his eyes had faded, "This is the last time..”
last time.
Melissa suddenly understood what this sentence meant. In an instant, she received a critical hit of 100,000 points, and her whole body began to hiccup. Once, again, she couldn't help but cover her mouth tightly, not daring to He looked at Renly with disbelief, unable to believe that Renly could say such cruel words in such an understatement..
“That's not fair." Melissa said reflexively, and the resentment and anger suddenly burst out..
Melissa shook her head repeatedly, still refusing to believe her ears, "I have apologized, I am apologizing, don't you hear it? Even if it is a crime, there is a chance to atone, but why don't I? Why?？”
“Because there is no real sincerity in apologizing in your eyes." Renly said with a smile, "You know, there are two kinds of apologies, one is sincere and the other is calculated." After a short pause, Renly said softly. Shaking his head, "I don't like the latter.”
To be honest, Renly gave Melissa too many opportunities. From the night at Lincoln Center to today, he left room for maneuver step by step, hoping that Melissa would suddenly realize that everything would be okay. Can be dissipated in the wind, just like Emma Watson not long ago.
But Melissa missed everything. Even in the end, she was still calculating. The point is, she was not as smart as she thought..
In addition, Renly must also admit that Melissa was unlucky to be hit by a gun. After EGOT, his mood has always been a little irritable, even after experiencing the baptism and precipitation at the best friend's party, he calmed down a little. come down, but the ubiquitous spotlight still gradually amplifies negative emotions, and it is inevitable to be a little extreme when dealing with things..
In the past, Renly might have laughed it off; but today, he had no room for it..
“This is not fair! Everyone is plotting, everyone! "Melissa's eyes widened, and her delicate and sweet face became ferocious..
“Yes. That's not fair." Renly nodded slightly in agreement..
It was so crisp and clear, but Melissa couldn't help but choke. The next words were stuck in her throat. She didn't know how to deal with it. Tears hung on her eyelashes, and she was completely stunned..
Renly continued, "Everyone has the opportunity to choose. When you choose to use this method to break the deadlock and win the opportunity, you also lose the qualification to be treated equally. I am not a judge, but I am not Jesus.”
“……”Melissa tried to speak, but she didn't know what to say at all. She just squeezed out a defense, "But everyone is like this.".”
“Yes, then you must bear the consequences of everyone's failure." Renly replied calmly. But after he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too much like a superior judge, which was not his intention..
After pausing for a moment and thinking carefully, Renly remained calm and added, "My suggestion, since you have chosen this method, you must go on unswervingly. Don't use it when you fail. It's not worth it to arm yourself with morality. Because it will make you humbler.”
Just like now.
At some point, Renly admired Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, and even Chris Hemsworth even more. At least, they insisted on the path they chose and went on without hesitation. It is a kind of attitude towards life. Renly does not agree with it, but it does not mean that it is right or wrong..
Like Melissa, you will only make yourself more miserable.
Renly didn't want to continue to argue. It was useless to talk. The matter had been settled here. He took steps and left the area at the door of the apartment. But then he remembered something and turned around to look at To a distraught Melissa, “Do your job..”
Melissa raised her head in confusion and looked at Renly in astonishment..
Renly explained, "Just now you said, what should you do? You should complete your work well. If I were to go into filming with today's performance, I would be very worried..”
There are too many flaws.
Melissa watched Renly leave. He did not take a taxi, but walked on a skateboard. Only then did Melissa notice the skateboard in Renly's hand. She had never noticed such details before; slowly, she noticed the skateboard in Renly's hand. After half a beat, the humiliation and pain slowly began to surge up, like a loud slap, hitting her face hard, and the burning pain spread bit by bit..
Everyone said that Renly was a gentleman, elegant, gentle, and personable..
Melissa used to think so, but now she realizes that Renly is a devil. The cold-bloodedness and cruelty in his bones are deeply hidden under the skin of a gentleman, and he hurt her sharply and cruelly. , she suddenly realized that she had provoked this demon, so in the future……
Thinking of this, Melissa couldn't help but shudder, one after another, and she couldn't stop at all..
