1835 Meeting of the two kings
Thomas Tull and Renly Hall, two people who had no connection with each other originally, have clashed many times in just one year, especially in the past six months, from "Interstellar" to "Jurassic World" and back again. During the awards season, invisible edges continued to collide between the two people..
But in fact, today is the first official meeting between the two people..
After making his debut, Thomas assumed the position of a superior.：
With his hands behind his back, his posture was straight, his head held high, his eyes were calm, and his gaze faintly revealed a condescending attitude of looking at the whole scene; at the same time, in order to show his "approachability", his jawline and facial expression were slightly relaxed, With a smile on his face, he seems to have decided to put down his dignity and enjoy the people..
The problem is that the so-called lowering of the stature is just a superficial effort. The posture and aura of the bones still keep oneself high: refusing to take the initiative to make introductions, but waiting for introductions from others; even refusing to take the initiative to say hello, Seems unwilling to be at a disadvantage in front of Renly.
You can get a glimpse of the clues in the details of the movements.：
Thomas glanced at Renly with a smile, but without any pause, he immediately glanced at Colin, Jack, Bryce and others around him, showing a trace of questioning eyes, as if he was asking: No one Are you willing to make a referral? Who is this person in front of me?？
Such a pretentious appearance openly and openly emphasizes his identity as a producer, clearly declaring that he is the one with the initiative and control; more importantly, even if this is a performance, he knows that others People also know it, but everyone must cooperate with him in performing, this is the real superior person.
However, in Renly's eyes, Thomas's narrow vision was revealed..
Real superiors never care about insignificant details such as "who says hello first", "whether they are introduced", "whether they take the initiative to come forward", etc., because they themselves have an aura that bursts out from the inside out. , this kind of "momentum fight" with a child's temper can easily expose one's own lack of confidence.——
The more guilty you feel, the more you emphasize that you are the one in power; the more fearful you are, the more you emphasize that you are the one in power..
“We finally meet, Mr. Tull." Renly showed a bright smile and a trace of calmness in his eyes. However, he did not extend his right hand, but politely nodded and said, "I am Renly..”
A closer look at Renly's words and deeds reveals the difference: he didn't shake hands, but shook his head; he didn't say "nice to meet you" or other polite words, but stated the facts concisely and clearly. Of course, he His tone and expression still remained that of a gentleman, and no one would notice any offense. However, the confidence and firmness exuded from the inside out made his gestures and gestures evolve into an elegant art..
This kind of "art" shows the ease of a superior person.
Thomas is a little embarrassed.
Thomas couldn't tell a reason. Just between a word and an action, the information flashed quickly. He couldn't capture all the details in detail and quickly, but the natural aura and suppression still lingered. , it really makes people feel uncomfortable all over..
“Everyone is talking about Renly Hall, and today I finally saw it with my own eyes." Thomas showed a big smile and said briskly, then turned to look at Bryce and Colin, "I thought , he may have three eyes and no nostrils, but now he still looks like an ordinary person..”
“Mr. Tull must love movies very, very much." Renly responded with a smile..
Thomas immediately turned his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes; even Bryce and others also looked at them one after another, wondering why..
Renly continued, "So now he still retains his innocent and romantic fantasy. Even the elementary school students refuse to believe in the imagination. He still firmly believes in it. If there really is an alien with three eyes and no nostrils, he may have to go there." It’s District 51. You may become the Elephant Man before you reach Hollywood..”
Area 51 is a legendary secret area in the United States. Those science fiction enthusiasts who firmly believe in the real existence of extraterrestrial civilizations are full of imagination about Area 51; and "The Elephant Man" is one of David Lynch's works. This classic movie is based on real medical files. An elephant man with a deformed head was first snatched away by the hospital for research, and then taken away by the circus for exhibition. He suffered inhuman torture. This work was released on the 50th It received eight nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor at three Oscars..
Jack's hearty laughter burst out directly, "This is a good joke" and repeated this sentence continuously, "It would be wonderful if the Elephant Man went to Area 51..”
Thomas' face was slightly stiff, but he showed no weakness in his words, "I've heard before that Renly is a sharp-tongued guy. Even reporters can't do anything to him. Now I finally see it with my own eyes. On the verbal level Never give in at all, always want to win or lose." The ridicule and mocking tone was conveyed in a teasing way, but except Thomas, no one else found it funny..
Even the heartless Jack could faintly sense that something was wrong..
On the contrary, Renly, who was the party involved, still maintained a smile and said briskly, "It seems that Mr. Tull must have heard a lot of rumors about me during his busy work schedule in the office. I'm not sure. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I hope that in the future, Mr. Tull can appreciate my work more, and I can accept all feedback about the work of an actor, whether it is praise or criticism..”
what does this mean？
You accept opinions about an actor’s work frankly, but refuse to comment on gossip? Or are you mocking Thomas for paying too much attention to gossip in his busy schedule and losing his job? Or maybe he was complaining about Thomas being too petty and simply believing the rumors.？
Jack quickly lowered his head to hide the raised corners of his mouth. He spent all his energy not to laugh out loud..
Bryce, who was standing next to her, noticed Jack's expression, and couldn't help lowering her head, and glanced at Jack with a wink, indicating that Jack must hold back, otherwise it would be terrible if Thomas took revenge now..
Fortunately, all Thomas's attention was on Renly at this time, and he didn't notice the small details next to him..
Thomas' face was really ugly, and he could hardly maintain his original expression. His violently beating temples were pulling at the limits of his sanity little by little..
damn！
Just when Thomas was about to open his mouth to attack again, Renly shifted his gaze slightly and then said, "Speaking of acting, I can't wait to join the crew and get started. How about it, Colin? Are you willing? Can you serve as a guide and introduce me to the shooting base in Honolulu?？”
Colin, who was standing next to him, had never had a chance to speak from beginning to end, but was suddenly called upon by Renly. He was a little confused, but he still nodded in affirmation, "...Of course, of course there is no problem!" Colin I got a little excited and couldn't help but start gearing up to show off my talents..
but……
“Wait." Thomas spoke again, interrupting Colin's words again, and then you could see Colin standing awkwardly, his body still in a half-turned posture. It was neither possible to continue turning around nor to step back. Just frozen in place.
Renly cast a polite look at Colin, without saying anything, but it slightly relieved Colin's embarrassment, and then Colin turned back and returned to his previous state; while Renly faced Thomas sight.
“There are some things that I need to talk to you about. Let’s sit down in the office first and talk things over.” It can be heard that Thomas is trying to maintain his etiquette state, but his words are still difficult to conceal the awkwardness and awkwardness of giving orders. stiff——
A small detail: except for the first sentence, he never called Renly by his name from beginning to end. There was no self-introduction, no social courtesy, and no greetings. This was for two people who met for the first time. , all basic etiquette has been omitted, and then the whole process is addressed as "you". It seems that even the most basic courtesy makes Thomas feel heartburn..
Compared to Harvey Weinstein, Thomas Tull seems to be slightly less qualified.
After saying that, Thomas was about to turn around and leave, but Renly interrupted Thomas again, "What is so urgent about? I have just arrived on the set, and now I have to discuss a reason?" It's not a question. , not a question, but a relaxed and joking gesture, seemingly not interested in Thomas' "eagerness".
Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Renly carefully, and there was a danger signal..
But Renly didn't care. Regardless of whether he was wearing a mask or not, he and Thomas couldn't be friends. Naturally, he couldn't naively think that the superficial balance between the two parties now meant that Thomas had decided to compromise and show kindness. Now It is natural for Thomas to release his true emotions.
“Mr. Tull, why don't we just take a walk around the photography base? Kualoa Ranch is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Honolulu. It has beautiful scenery and being in it is a kind of enjoyment. We can talk while walking. , what do you think? "Then Renly sent out another invitation..
Unknowingly, Renly had the initiative in his hands - or in other words, in fact, Renly never lost his initiative, and Thomas's strength and positivity made him fall into passivity. qiaojiuli.
Impulse is the devil.
Thomas looked at Renly, who was calm and composed, and seemed to be laughing at his gaffe. He also regained his composure, and showed a big smile to Renly - he looked like a clown, " Sure, why not? Let's take a walk together..”
