1839 One shot and two breaks
“Do you think you can do this? Or do you think I will care?？”
Renly's questions were still like spring breeze, seemingly without any edge or strength at all, but it was precisely these light and gentle words that penetrated with unparalleled power, gradually bringing about crushing strength, easily The ground grabbed Thomas's throat and no sound came out..
Is it Thomas who can kill Renly? Or will Renly care about being banned?？
Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is no.
The objective fact before us now is: the existence of Sisyphus Films has completely freed Renly from the ranks of an ordinary actor, and has the ability to be on an equal footing with all other producers. In addition, Renly is unparalleled in Hollywood. With its powerful appeal, the so-called top of the pyramid is definitely not just talk..
Can someone please ban "Renly Hall"?？
daydreaming！
But more importantly, even if you put this aside, put aside Sisyphus Pictures, put aside EGOT, put aside market appeal, put aside the current success and fame, Renly has never really cared about these.：
When he was still an unknown person, he could refuse the invitation of "Thor"; when his career had just started, he could ignore those excellent performance opportunities and find "Buried Alive" and actively fight for it; when he initially achieved When he succeeds, he can calm down and return to his work as an actor, polishing his skills carefully..
Blocked? He never cared.
At that time, Mel Gibson was banned for more than ten years because of his remarks against Jews. He could hardly get an opportunity to appear in mainstream theaters. After more than ten years of ups and downs, he finally made his debut in "Hacksaw Ridge" "Returning to the public eye, those long dark years are really hard to describe, but even so, Mel was not able to be completely blocked..
So, what about Renly?？
With two simple words, Renly succeeded in making Thomas break into a cold sweat.——
He has always placed himself in a lofty position as a producer, because he holds the power of the financial lifeline of Wall Street, which makes him still have strong appeal even at the top of the pyramid. Look at the restrained Ron Meyer. Well proved; but Thomas ignored one thing. If in the eyes of Wall Street funds, his value is not enough, or if the value of others exceeds his, then it is only a matter of time before he is replaced. For example, Renly.
Facing Renly, all the advantages Thomas had were insignificant; on the other hand, if Renly wanted to squeeze Thomas away, he could make him lose everything..
Renly was like the dementor in "Harry Potter", smelling Thomas' panic and fear, and then Thomas saw a faint light shine in Renly's deep and calm eyes, " Let me summarize, you cannot threaten what I care about; but I can easily destroy what you care about. So, who gave you the courage to stand in front of me and give orders?？”
The understatement made Thomas's back goosebumps..
He knows, he knows, this is very cowardly, this is not him, he has not experienced this feeling for many, many years, he can't even remember the last time he was so embarrassed, this is simply not him! But standing in front of Renly, that feeling is really, very special. Renly seems to have this ability. He can make people look ugly and ragged without moving his expression, as if he has become a beggar on the street..
Even Thomas himself couldn't believe that he could be so cowardly. But only by truly standing in front of Renly can he understand how powerful the aura and aura that burst out from the inside is. Almost irresistible.
“You..." Thomas is Thomas after all. He has been in charge of Legendary Pictures and dominated Hollywood for many years. He still has enough confidence to not completely fall apart in front of Renly, but for a moment, he doesn't know what he should say.——
Should he fight back so that he would not be so embarrassed and win back a victory? Or should he ease the atmosphere and reverse what happened just now? Or should he accuse Renly of being a devil who is so ugly hidden under the mask of a gentleman? face; otherwise, you should straighten your back and argue with Renly righteously, and don't let yourself completely lose your armor..
At this time, there were so many thoughts surging in his mind that Thomas couldn't find a clear idea immediately..
In fact, Thomas' most famous talent on Wall Street is his sharp tongue, quick thinking and eloquent language style, which made him like a fish in water among those financial talents, and he won countless trusts. With support, Legendary Pictures was established.
But standing in front of Renly, Thomas' language skills seemed to be completely suppressed. It felt really terrible, as if he had met his own nemesis..
Renly ignored Thomas's emotions. He remained calm and calm - always able to reflect the other person's embarrassment and embarrassment, making the other person hate him but be helpless..
“Let me tell you what will happen next. I will turn around and leave, return to the shooting base, pretend that nothing happened just now, and then start preparing for my work; and you will return to the shooting base and continue to complete your work. I will not interfere with your freedom, let alone tell you how to complete your work.——”
He mocked Thomas again: Don't interfere in areas of work that you are not good at. That is one of the stupidest leadership methods in the world..
“Let's just finish the production of this work peacefully. I look forward to the success of the work and you look forward to the same thing. At this point, we are all on the same page. And then, regarding the promotion of the film, Please leave it to the professionals and let them do their jobs. Don't use those boring bullshit to distract and blur the focus. What do you think?？”
Renly's words revealed a deep coldness in his calmness..
“I know that you don’t like me. In fact, you don’t have to like me. We just use each other. You in order to create profits and gain power, while I concentrate on being my actor. After this work is over, we will not We need to meet again. Even if we occasionally appear at some parties, we are just acquaintances, purely working relationships. I think this is a mature and rational cooperative relationship. I hope you and I can reach a consensus..”
The coldness that repels people thousands of miles away seeped out bit by bit from the depths of his words, causing Thomas to grit his teeth hard. He was so angry and ashamed that his jaw began to tremble slightly..
He is Thomas Tull, not some random nobody, but now Renly is coming over to tell him what to do.？
absurd! The greatest absurdity in the world! This is simply outrageous and ridiculous！
Seeing that Renly was about to turn around and leave, Thomas said again word for word, "What if I say 'no'？”
Renly's steps paused.
Thomas stared into Renly's eyes, and the superior aura that had accumulated over the years burst out again, "I said, what if I say 'no'? Then, what are you going to do?？”
Renly chuckled lightly, with a tolerant smile in his eyes, just like an adult tolerating a child. That ubiquitous arrogance stimulated Thomas's nerves all the time - even the strongest nerves were at this moment. Unable to withstand more torture, "Then we will wait and see.".”
Renly did not give an answer, because he knew that Thomas was definitely not a guy who bowed his head and compromised easily. He had his pride and dignity; but he believed that Thomas was an excellent businessman, and he would do whatever he could in the face of interests and dignity. Make the "right" choice - just like Renly will always choose dignity, Thomas will always choose interests. This is their difference and their respective principles..
After saying that, without stopping any longer, Renly turned around and walked away with steady steps..
Thomas opened his mouth, trying to stop Renly and say something else - why did Renly turn around and leave? Shouldn't he take the entire initiative? Even if he has to leave, he should leave first! It's not Renly's turn to call the shots.！
But in the end, all the words were swallowed.
He didn't want to make himself more miserable or embarrassed. If he shouted at Renly's back now, the unwillingness and loneliness would be the real loss of face..
Now, he should calm down and think about the whole story again: How did things develop to this final stage? How should things be handled next? Will the plan to fabricate the scandal still be carried out? If not, how should he deal with his relationship with Renly?？
The wisest and wisest way is to become a business partner - even if he doesn't want to admit it, Renly's statement is the most correct. He regards Renly as a tool, a tool to win interests and power. After using it to achieve his goal, , he ended this cooperative relationship and stayed away until death. To be precise, he is the biggest beneficiary of the success of "Jurassic World". After all, this is the first work of Legendary Pictures after leaving Warner Bros..
But the anger was burning, and Thomas couldn't tell where the anger came from, whether it was because Renly was right, or because Renly's attitude was so bad, or because he simply hated Renly and couldn't accept it. anything renly said.
Damn, damn, damn！
Seeing that Renly's figure had completely disappeared, Thomas finally couldn't bear it any longer. He clenched his fists, accumulated all the anger in his chest, and roared deep, low, and muffled like a lion. Get up: How could he swallow such humiliation so easily?？
