1838 IQ crushing
In fact, whether it is Hollywood or London aristocrats, Vanity Fair has no bottom line than imagined, but the shamelessness and greed are all hidden under the glamorous skin, and it can always easily deceive others, and all eyes are on it. Above the dazzling halo, the darkness and decay beneath the light are ignored.
The bottom line of the London aristocracy is the reputation and dignity of the "surname", while the bottom line of Hollywood is absolute interests. In the face of such a bottom line, everything else can stand aside..
It's that simple.
Similarly, Renly also has his bottom line and persistence. He will not be naive and romantic and believe that he can change the rules of the entire world with his own power; but he will not be pessimistic and dejected that facing the constraints of society and class, he will not be able to change the rules of the world. There is no other option but to surrender..
He has his pride, and he will stick to his bottom line and persistence, even if it ends in being shattered. He looks forward to the day in the future when his persistence can change the world in a small way, at least change his surroundings; if not, , that doesn’t matter, because he can have a clear conscience.
It was the same when I faced Natalie Portman's request at the Toronto Film Festival. It was the same with Melissa Benoist and Vin Diesel later. It's the same with Thomas Tull now. , Renly's bottom line and persistence have never changed - there are some things not that he can't do but that he is unwilling to do them..
“I refuse.”
“I won't.”
This was Renly's answer, without detours or cover-ups, simply cutting off all possibilities. He could have chosen a more tactful and gentle approach, but he felt it was not necessary..
Renly's straightforward and somewhat rude refusal left no trace of shame, which made Thomas stunned for a moment, and then he became angry with embarrassment.：
No one dared to speak to him like this, not even Ron Meyer or Steven Spielberg. So who is this actor in front of him?？
“Are you mentally disturbed? Thomas tried hard to control his urge to curse and use relatively elegant sentences to express his anger at the moment. The tight voice showed the emotions on the verge of exploding at this moment. Because he was too angry, after reacting, Thomas He smiled angrily, looking at Renly as if he was looking at an idiot, "Do you know what you are saying? Do you know who you are dealing with?？”
Renly remained motionless, and the smile on his lips rose lightly - it was too dazzling in Thomas' eyes, and anger began to gush..
“I'm just curious why everyone always likes to emphasize this sentence when they are extremely angry, trying to prove the absurdity of the whole thing. But the problem is that if I really don't know who I am talking to, that's not exactly It proves that my personality is like this. Even if you emphasize it, you are just humiliating yourself. What do you think?？”
Renly's chatting and laughing posture was really, really, really calm, and his aura of being aloof and superior emanated from the inside out..
Thomas calmed down instead - although he has a tough temper, it does not mean that he is a fool. In a head-to-head competition in this game, it is obvious that no one can win with a louder voice, so he needs to calm down before he can A head-on confrontation with Renly, isn't it?？
Renly also keenly caught the subtle changes in Thomas's mood. He was not nervous, but he was playing right into his heart, because this meant that Thomas had also got rid of the entanglement of negative emotions. Now it was time to talk about business, and both parties could maintain their rationality to start the conversation..
“I don’t care what Bryce and Seth’s opinions are, and I don’t care if Lang and the publicity department pass such a proposal. That’s the end of it. I’ll think it’s all just nonsense and won’t take it seriously. , let's just pretend this conversation never happened.”
Seriously, Renly emphasized his position clearly and precisely, eliminating any possibility of misunderstanding..
But how could Thomas compromise so easily? To be more precise, how could Thomas easily let Renly give orders?？
“I don’t know who gave you the courage to be so arrogant, so arrogant and so arrogant. You seem to think that the whole world revolves around you. Is it because actors have been in the spotlight for many years, and then they really think they have control? worldwide? Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly word by word..
The sarcastic words were full of sharp and sharp attacks, attacking Renly like a sharp blade, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can give me orders? Only actors who really have no brains can There is this illusion that they have autonomy, but let me tell you, everything about you is in our hands, you are just commodities, puppets used to create profits! Huh, big stars in the world? The most ridiculous thing is this word.”
“Let me tell you, I will not treat what you just said as not happening. Every word and every sentence has stayed in my mind. You will pay the price for your stupidity." Thomas's eyes burst out with a sharp and tough look. The power and powerful momentum were fully released, "Repent now? It's too late！”
There was a hint of cruelty in the corner of Thomas's mouth, and the pleasure of having the power of life and death over others was bursting out continuously. He liked moments like this - the glamorous top stars on the stage were being toyed with by him. Between the palms of your hands, the feeling of turning your hands into clouds and rain is even more exciting than drugs..
But Renly didn't panic as expected, nor did he feel fearful or flinching. He didn't even feel stiff at all, nor could he find any mood swings..
Thomas's expression froze slightly. This was not the scene he expected to see. "Don't think that you have the initiative. You have signed the contract with the crew. Now you have no way to break the contract easily. No matter what, you must finish filming." This work; and during the filming of the film, if I released the news publicly, do you think you could stop me? Do you think you could stop the entire crew?！”
Thomas lost his temper slightly.
He knows, and he admits. In the past year, Thomas was at a disadvantage in the many confrontations. Long Meyer finally chose to compromise and bow his head, which made Renly's series of strategies successful. Success is a heavy blow to Thomas——
Even Warner Brothers failed to force him to submit, and now he has lost face in front of Renly.？
Little by little, the negative emotions accumulated like this, and Thomas had almost reached his limit. Now Renly stood in front of him like this, but still put on that noble and inviolable look, which made people endure it. I couldn't help but want to tear off his mask and see the panic and embarrassment hidden behind it..
Thomas had tried his best to control it, but his words were still a little agitated, and his reason was temporarily put at the back of his mind..
To be honest, Renly was a little disappointed. After going head-to-head with Harvey Weinstein, Barry Meyer, Bob Iger and other top industry players, he was inevitably looking forward to the rumored Thomas Tull— -Since Thomas dared to confront Warner Bros. without concealing his ambitions, he must be a figure, but now it seems that his mind, magnanimity, vision, ability, etc. are all down a notch.
Such control ability is on the same level as Chris Hemsworth, but he is actually the CEO of Legendary Pictures？
Such a gap is really disappointing.
Thomas caught Renly's disappointment in an instant, because Renly had no intention of hiding it. The deep regret and regret in his eyes were revealed. Without too many words, he revealed a sense of contempt and disdain. Hit Thomas hard, he really didn't like this feeling.！
“I can't stop you, so... can you stop me? "Sincerely, Renly didn't want to argue like this, because the technical content was too low, just like an elementary school student's quarrel; but looking at Thomas in front of him, Renly had to match his level and simplify the problem to the basics. This way the communication is more effective. efficiency.
“Of course, you can create scandals. This is your freedom and your ability. I can't stop it. But without my follow-up cooperation, do you think the scandal can continue to be hyped? More importantly, what do you think would happen if I exposed your propaganda plan in front of the media?？”
Renly is still Renly. His unhurried and unhurried way of speaking is really annoying. It is definitely not easy to stay sane..
“You dare! Thomas' suppressed anger surged again, and he almost said through gritted teeth..
Renly's smile blossomed - people always liked to ask Renly this question, and his answer never seemed to change, "Would you like to try it?"？”
If Renly really exposes the crew's "scandal hype" strategy, the negative impact on the movie is absolutely unpredictable. Will he really destroy the Great Wall?？
But thinking about Renly's rage when facing reporters in the hospital, and thinking about Renly's directness at the Oscars, Thomas wasn't sure..
Renly said nothing, but Thomas was speechless..
Renly's smile faded slightly, and then said, "Mr. Tull, there is one thing we need to reach a consensus on. What do you think will happen if I really don't do what you want? You are in the entire Hollywood Are you going to completely block me? Are you going to stop all the movie companies from filming with me? Or are you going to ruin my reputation completely? Do you think you can do this? Or do you think I would care?？”
Thomas opened his mouth, but no sound came out.：
Can he do it? Or does Renly care?？
He suddenly realized that the answer to both questions was no - and he felt like a fool.
