1381 Stay safe and sound
“……I don't want to go in." Melissa stood at the door of "Pioneer Village", but her legs and knees couldn't help but started to tremble..
She has no choice, she still can't do it.
That nightmare was only thirty minutes ago, and all the details were still vivid. Now she had to pretend that nothing had happened, and appeared in front of Renly again. She had no choice. This was really too scary, even if Just imagining it in her mind made her want to turn around and leave quickly.
Blake Jenner stood aside. If possible, he wanted to give up on Melissa completely and really let her learn this lesson and sound a warning for the future, but he still couldn't bear it..
Especially when he looked at Melissa's rosy expression, her pupils swaying in panic, full of deep fear, what else could he do? This is the woman he loves deeply, this is the woman he is willing to commit to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Stepping forward, Black hugged Melissa into his arms, patted Melissa's back gently, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Didn't Renly say that he won't pursue the case?"?”
“No, he means, this is the last time." Melissa thought of Renly's words again, and her voice began to tremble every word..
Blake opened his mouth slightly.
To be objective, with Renly's current status, third- and fourth-tier actors like them are as insignificant as ants. They don't need deliberate punishment at all. They can easily trample to death many of them in one day; but Renly gave Melissa The "last" chance was already a blessing among misfortunes. Blake thought that after the incident was revealed, Melissa would be expelled from the crew on the spot..
But after all, such words could not be uttered, "So what do you mean, you want to quit the crew?" Blake asked as softly as possible.
Melissa raised her head suddenly, bit her lower lip, and looked at Blake with great sadness..
Black knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly comforted him, "Then there are only two choices now. Either, I go in now and beat Renly severely to vent my anger on you and tell him not to bully my woman casually; Or, we pretend that nothing happened, join the crew, devote ourselves to the filming of this work, and seize this opportunity.”
Melissa opened her mouth slightly and hit Blake's chest hard. After venting the depression in her chest, she finally understood. She stayed dumbly and plaintively for a moment, lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, " Is this okay for me? Can I go in now? Will they notice??”
“It's okay. I'll tell them that you just kicked your toe on the table leg..." Blake tried to make a joke to change the atmosphere, but Melissa stepped on her toe hard, swallowing the words that came to her mouth. He continued, "I mean, we just had an argument this morning and I made you angry, so I made a special trip to escort you here. If it's convenient, I'll stay today. If it's not convenient, I'll wait until you finish reading the script before coming over." Pick you up and make up for your mistakes.”
Melissa felt a little relieved and nodded her head gently to express her agreement..
Turning around, Melissa looked at the door behind her. Before she stretched out her hand, she could feel the heavy weight. After all, she still couldn't muster up the courage to push the door open, so she could only give way slightly. , hiding behind Blake, leaving the heavy responsibility of charging to Blake.
Blake couldn't help but take a deep breath and plucked up the courage to push open the door. A cool breeze hit his face. It was not the breeze caused by the air conditioner, but the coolness revealed by the faint return of moisture in the stone buildings in midsummer, mixed with a gentle breeze. The ventilation makes the entire interior transparent.
The air was filled with the sound of chatter. No one noticed the appearance of Blake and Melissa. The discussion continued in full swing, which made them both feel relieved. After Blake's signal, Next, Melissa took a step forward, walked out of the blocked space of the door panel, and appeared in front of everyone..
Calm and calm.
The whole crew was calm, nothing unusual at all. Occasionally, someone noticed Melissa's appearance, signaled it with eyes or a smile, and then returned to their own conversation, as if...as if what happened in the morning had never happened at all. Too ordinary, or in other words - Renly never revealed any words of ordinary.
Melissa looked around carefully, fearing that her eyes would accidentally overlap with Renly's, so her pupils shrank from time to time, and she was always ready to dodge her sight, so she looked around roughly. But she didn't see Renly, which made her feel relieved and nervous at the same time..
Feeling relieved because Renly is not here; nervous because... does this mean that Renly is complaining to the director or producer??
Worrying about gains and losses, Melissa firmly grasped Blake's arm, looking for more security..
Black was also looking for Renly, and then he gestured slightly with his chin, "There.”
Following Blake's eyes, Melissa saw Renly and Damien sitting in the corner..
The two people sat quietly next to each other, Renly was expressing his views endlessly, and Damien was listening carefully, which suddenly made Melissa's heart shrink suddenly, "He is complaining, he is complaining! That's it, that's absolutely it! I'm leaving, I'm leaving now.!”
Melissa turned around instantly and tried to run away, but Blake still grabbed her arm in time, "Now that things are like this, escaping cannot solve the problem unless you are ready to quit the crew. What's more, I won't He thinks that Renly is a hypocrite who doesn't keep his word. He has promised and that's the end of the matter. He will definitely do it..”
But Melissa still refused to believe it, mumbling something in a confused voice, and her whole person looked panicked..
Blake gently patted the back of Melissa's hand, hugged his fiancée into his arms again, and tried to calm her down with the warmth of his chest. "Let's go over and say hello." Seeing that Melissa was about to resist, Blake added, "I'll go with you. If anything happens, let me handle it, okay??”
Melissa's eyes revealed her struggle, but in the end she bit her lower lip and nodded in agreement..
Agree to agree, but Melissa could barely move forward. She was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Black was also helpless. The two of them walked slowly towards where Renly and Damien were, and their voices gradually became clearer. stand up——
“……In my opinion, a mentor is more than just a teacher. The relationship between teachers and students is special..
First of all, he is a professional authority, his ability and talent are undoubted, you not only admire but also admire, so when he chooses you, you can naturally feel the joy and happiness, the kind of desire to be recognized. , your behavior begins to be restrained, and you unconsciously follow his thoughts, wishes, and instructions..
Secondly, he is a domineering power. His temper and character are straight forward. There is no room for maneuver or buffer space. Just like gunpowder, it will either detonate or go out. There is no other possibility, or in other words, it must be extinguished. Black and white, either right or wrong. In his dictionary, there are no adjectives like 'not bad' or 'okay'. This makes your living space gradually oppressed when you get along..”
Renly was gushing out his opinions, dancing and looking completely absorbed..
Renly and Damien were sitting face to face, and they could notice the appearance of Melissa and Black from the corner of their eyes. However, all of Renly's attention was focused on the discussion, and he didn't even notice the appearance next to him. There was movement; and Damien slightly noticed the changes in the surrounding environment, but he had no time to pay attention to it and just glanced at it..
Then, Damien looked at Renly again and said seriously, "So, why did I choose to resist in the end? If the teacher is an admirable and absolute power? Shouldn't it be me who follows the teacher's footsteps? Are you growing step by step in the direction of being a teacher's role model??”
Melissa grabbed Black's right hand tightly, her whole body tensed to the extreme. She knew that Renly did it on purpose. Renly did it on purpose. He deliberately ignored her, he deliberately ignored her, just for the sake of Revenge for what just happened, and if she continues to stay, Renly will continue to take revenge..
escape.
This is the only thought in Melissa's mind now, especially when she recalls Renly's cold and distant eyes, Melissa shudders even more. Her only thought now is to escape from here quickly, she can't think, Her only idea is to fly away. She doesn't need this work, and she doesn't need to develop her career. Running away is the only thought she has now..
But Black grabbed Melissa's left hand firmly and stood motionless, preventing Melissa from escaping. His eyes were locked on Renly and Damien, seeming to be looking for someone. Prepare the right moment and then go up to say hello; however, this is not easy, because the discussion between Renly and Damien is becoming more and more intense and profound, and it is completely incomprehensible..
“Do you know Oedipus in ancient Greek mythology? Many people understand that this is a love/mother plot, but at the same time, it also hides the patricide complex of ancient Greek culture." Faced with Damien's confusion, Renly continued to expand his thinking and further expanded his thinking in "The Exploding Drummer" Completed the excavation based on the core of the theme, "In my opinion, the relationship between Andrew and Fletcher comes first from the pursuit and achievement of art, and secondly from the patricide complex from ancient Greek mythology. In this tight and tangled relationship In the mood, the drumbeat rhythm of the movie is pushed to the extreme.”
Melissa and Blake standing nearby were confused: What are they talking about? What Oedipus? What kind of murder/father/complex? What is this? Why can't they understand it at all??
