155 contract love
Seeing Ryan's confused look, Renly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, don't remember the time wrong. If I don't see you on the red carpet, I will definitely Tell reporters about you and Michelle.”
“"Buried Alive" is not a high-profile movie. Although Toronto is the first stop for the film's world premiere, they do not receive the highest treatment. The highlight of the premiere at 8 o'clock every night is completely wishful thinking. The premiere is scheduled at At 4:30 p.m., the red carpet starts at 4 o'clock. After the broadcast, reporters will rush to the main venue to attend tonight's North American premiere of "The City".
Ryan gave Renly a middle finger without hesitation - he and Michelle were dating, and said through gritted teeth, "You'd better not remember the time wrong, otherwise you can't blame me..”
After seeing off Ryan, Renly walked to the small refrigerator in the room and talked about it all morning. Now his throat was extremely dry, "Is everything going well on the journey?？”
“It's okay, it's just Toronto." Andy tried to find a seat on the sofa, looked left and right, and finally picked up the bathrobe and found an empty seat. "Your life in Toronto is really exciting. , in just four days, I feel like I can’t keep up with the speed..”
“What? Renly took a bottle of sleep and poured a big sip down his throat, "Ah, you mean Ryan?" It’s a long story to tell about the friend I made accidentally. I thought he was a rigid and stiff guy, but after talking with him, I found that Canadians are much more interesting than I thought..”
“Of course, Ryan is part of it, but it is not the most important thing." Andy recalled the phone call just now. The amount of information was a bit large. He sorted it out a little, "Are you sure there is nothing else?？”
Renly sat down on the sofa next to him. He paused while drinking water and showed a puzzled look. He thought about it carefully, but still had no idea. "In the past few days, I have been watching movies." Except. Apart from that, nothing happens.
Andy looked at Renly's expression carefully and couldn't help but remind him, "Hint: Natalie Portman.”
Renly was stunned for a moment, showing a look of realization at first, but then it turned into confusion, "I had a chance encounter with her, but that was it, she didn't even know my name..”
“Is that really all there is to it? " Andy had a meaningful smile on his face, obviously not believing what Renly said..
Renly thought deeply for a moment, but still had no idea, "Did she say something?"？”
When leaving, he conveniently tricked Natalie, but judging from the news in the past three days, it didn't work. Maybe the reporter didn't even understand the deep meaning of his words - one of the reporters He had been following his schedule for the past three days. If he hadn't known that the other person was a reporter, he almost thought he was going to meet a stalker. Therefore, Renly still couldn't think of any reason why there was any problem between Natalie and him. connect.
“She did say something, but I am more curious about what you said to her." Andy laughed sincerely this time, but he did not continue to tell the truth, but revealed the answer, "Her agent Someone called me and said Natalie wanted to go on a date with you..”
Frances Parker is Natalie Portman's agent.
Renly was indifferent to such breaking news, as if he was just talking about a stranger. This made Andy a little disappointed. He could only continue to explain, "To be precise, it is a contract love." Before Renly could ask questions, , he explained.
“That is, say in front of the media that you are dating, and then we will arrange for some reporters to take photos of your date, make a schedule, when to hold hands, when to kiss, when to send her home, when to spend the night, and then When will you break up? Although, behind closed doors, when reporters can't see you, you don't need to perform together. You can do what you want during the night, and you don't need to have a real relationship; but in public It's best to create some sparks. Today's reporters are not easy to fool..”
Renly frowned slightly, "You mean, she invited me to have a fake relationship with her, but she had to make it look like the real thing to deceive reporters and the public.？”
“Yes." Andy nodded and affirmed, "From September to March next year. This is the preliminary plan. I believe that with the acting skills of the two of you, there should be no problem. However, if you really do it , it’s best to inform me in advance so that I won’t be in a hurry.”
So, life depends entirely on acting, is this what you mean?？
“Why me? "Renly was not surprised, but chuckled..
Andy looked at the depth and playfulness in Renly's smile, and suddenly realized that Renly seemed to know something, "Yes, I'm curious too, why you?" When Francis called, he was the most surprised. people.
Generally speaking, in order to cooperate with the promotion of commercial movies, the possibility of the male and female protagonists signing a love contract is relatively high. From before the filming of the movie starts to the end of the promotion period, the camp will be arranged step by step for the two people to "gradually heat up their relationship", and then let the media and the audience have Sense of participation, achieving the best direct publicity effect.
However, now is the Internet age, and the lives of celebrities are really put under a magnifying glass. Therefore, the risk of contract love is too high, and it is easy to reveal the truth. Film companies and public relations companies are not willing to operate unless the male and female protagonists really meet each other. Sparks, or maybe the movie promotion point has been exhausted to a certain extent, this is the alternative..
But now, Natalie and Renly, two people who had never crossed paths, were suddenly brought together, and Renly was still a newcomer. In other words, Renly "benefited" from this contractual love. That side will be easily and quickly understood by the audience, and its popularity and recognition will skyrocket. Everything reveals something strange..
But Andy doesn't care too much about this kind of popularity. Because at this stage, Renly is a typical powerful actor. Strength is the best way for the audience to know him, not such tidbits-this kind of female high school student. Scandals about men with inferior men easily place the man on the vase.
Andy was even more curious about the reason why Frances made such a proposal - Francis was naturally unwilling to reveal more information. He just asked Andy if he was interested, and then gave it a try, saying that they could end it at the premiere of "Buried Alive" today. Have an in-depth conversation afterwards.
“This is not a question I can answer." Renly felt a little ridiculous and couldn't help but chuckled, "Natalie is currently dating Benjamin Millepied..”
“Benjamin Millepied? " Andy repeated the name, his brain ran a few times, and he said in surprise, "The choreographer of 'Black Swan'？”
“Yes." Renly nodded, and then briefly recounted the encounter that day..
However, Renly did not mention the small conflict between the two people. On the one hand, there was absolutely no need to worry about it, and on the other hand, he felt that there was no direct connection. But Andy was not willing to let it go easily, and inquired about every detail in detail. After tracing the first moment when two people met, they fell into deep thought..
”Give me some time." After thinking about it, Andy took out his mobile phone, plugged in the charger, and then started making calls..
Renly saw that he had nothing to do here, so he started busy with his own things, not caring at all..
Andy spent more than ninety minutes on this phone call. The last call was to Francis. The two discussed it for nearly forty minutes. In the end, they still could not reach a consensus, but they finally understood the matter. The whole story - Francis still didn't tell the truth completely, but it was enough for Andy.
He stood up, looked around for Renly's figure, and finally found his target on the balcony. Renly actually sat on the balcony reading a book, and his contented look made Andy burst into laughter, "Even if you are not interested in Natalie Portman , you should at least prepare for the premiere in the afternoon. This is your first movie and your first time in Toronto, isn’t it?？”
Renly shrugged, "There are always countless firsts. Instead of celebrating every 'first time', it's better to treat every future one as a first time and truly enjoy it." He raised his head and said to Andy smiled and said, "What's more, there's no way to prepare for the premiere, right? Relaxing is the best preparation..”
“I can't refute this." Andy sat down opposite Renly. Although Andy was not at the scene and could not know the true and accurate situation, it can still be inferred. Obviously, Natalie is facing the current predicament, which is very big. The reason is that Renly dug a big hole, but the Renly in front of him now is completely calm and composed. He is obviously not a guy to be trifled with, which makes Andy feel relieved..
“The relationship between Natalie and Benjamin cannot be discovered, which may affect the Oscar public relations after 'Black Swan'. Therefore, they need a shield. Judging from the current situation, you are the most suitable candidate. Because, only three Days ago, you guys had a scandal, right? Andy summed up the situation simply, always with a relaxed smile on his face, "For them, it can divert the media focus; for us……”
Andy paused for a moment, but unfortunately, he still failed to get Renly to take the bait, so he could only continue, "You can win enough exposure, which is not only good for 'Buried Alive', but also good for your popularity. .So, this is a win-win situation. Of course, they need our help now. We can also discuss the terms and maybe get a good film source for you. This is Toronto, it’s a good time. If you If you nod, this afternoon’s premiere could be the first starting point.”
“Are you asking for my opinion? Renly noticed Andy's pause, "I thought these decisions were made by the agent.".”
“Then if I nod and agree, will you cooperate? "Andy didn't answer directly, but asked instead.
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, and the smile on his lips was a hint of teasing, "I don't think so..”
