1901 anxious
Renly has not many but not many friends in the industry. To be honest, his character looks like a gentleman but is actually stubborn. He has a clear awareness of his own bottom line. It is often easy to offend people inadvertently, especially when he is used to socializing. , accustomed to greetings and politeness in Hollywood.
Sometimes, even Paul knows how to make compromises, but Renly can't. Everyone knows that it is easy to break the hard way, and Renly obviously understands it, but he still has not changed his mind. This is why Renly has repeatedly said The important reason why I am in trouble; but thinking about it on the other hand, if I choose to compromise and surrender, my life does not seem to get better. It is better to learn from Renly and stick to yourself, at least you can live happily..
Paul liked communicating with Renly very much. He was not pushy or condescending, but he could always find new inspiration in the spring breeze and drizzle. Looking back now, Paul can understand that Renly asked him to enjoy "speed and speed". He gave me some suggestions on the shooting process of "Passion/Passion 7". This is indeed a rare shooting, and he should devote himself to it..
“Understood." Paul's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he relaxed. "Now I have the real feeling of being reborn. I can finally enjoy life. Maybe I should shift my attention a little bit, you know, I guess no one can condemn my decision..”
“You should think like this: Even if you condemn me, I will still live my way. I don’t need to care about other people’s views and opinions at all, because I have already determined my own determination. So, those who have opinions, please step aside. Stop, thank you." Renly corrected Paul's thoughts. He was polite, humble, serious, and smiling, but his words were full of edge, and he released them all without any concealment..
Paul was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily, "I think the reporters must hate you very, very much.".”
“Well, hate is welcome. I can't and don't need everyone to like me. To be honest, I can't even make my apartment manager like me, so why should I make those reporters like me? "Renly shrugged. To be honest, that kind of calmness made Paul unable to stop laughing..
Standing under the spotlight, standing at the top of the pyramid, how many people can maintain such a clear willpower like Renly?？
almost none！
Even Paul himself, whenever he stands on the red carpet and listens to those fanatical screams and shouts, he will have the illusion that "the whole world likes me"; only when the spotlight fades away, Paul can calm down again , which is why he particularly likes surfing and outdoor sports-it can make him feel real, not an illusion under the spotlight..
But this isn't Renly.
The only time Paul remembers a special situation was the night when Renly won the Tony Award and achieved EGOT. That should be the only time he felt Renly's confusion and confusion, and he stood at the top with the attitude of creating miracles and writing history. Looking at the mountains and small mountains, at that moment, Renly also showed the fragility of ordinary people..
Paul was very lucky that he was not absent that night. He was still Renly's friend. No matter what height Renly stood at, they were friends..
Fate is really a wonderful thing. Paul and Renly met by chance while climbing in the Verdon Gorge in France, but they did not expect that it would become the beginning of a friendship. It was also in "Fast and Furious 5" In the crew, Paul and Renly became friends, while Diesel and Renly became enemies. Can this be considered a kind of fate?？
“Premiere." Renly's voice came over, planning Paul's thoughts, but he didn't hear clearly and couldn't help but make a confused sound. Renly continued, "Are you going to attend the premiere? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if you're not going to participate. There's no need to force it..”
Since the car accident, Paul's news has never been far away from the pages of entertainment news, but he has never really faced the media and the audience publicly, even when he officially left the hospital, even when he announced his permanent withdrawal from "Speed and" via Twitter. "Passion/Passion" series, he could only make an indirect appearance. He did not accept any public interviews with the media, and did not give any interviews in any form..
Reporters were unable to take the moral high ground due to the special accident, and now they dare not follow Paul around the clock. Otherwise, if another accident happens, Princess Diana's bad situation may become the starting point for the collapse of the uncrowned kings. was the real disaster. This also won Paul precious private space to rest, but it was rare for him to have some leisure time..
Recently, paparazzi have rarely followed Paul. On the one hand, it is out of respect for Paul's health, and on the other hand, because Paul's private life is really boring and there is no value in following photos at all - of course, the latter reason is It's the key. Paul came to pick up Renly today and was not discovered..
But if he attends the premiere, it will be his official appearance to the public, and it will also announce that Paul is ready to be bombarded by reporters again. Then the spotlight on Paul will begin to surge again; The follow-up focus after the screening will also fully open the floodgates. If Paul still wants to continue to enjoy an uninterrupted time, then absent from the premiere is the best option, and Renly doesn't mind this..
Paul was more relaxed than Renly imagined, "No matter what, the reshoots will start again, and sooner or later I will be back under the spotlight. Have you forgotten? This is part of our work and part of our lives." .If possible, of course I would be happy to stay away from the distractions and at the same time enjoy everything I have, but we all know that there is no such perfect thing in the world." I hope to enjoy the media's pursuit but reject the media's interference. This way Nothing is perfect. "There will be gains and losses. We need to learn to accept it. Or, resist.".”
Paul didn't know how to resist before, but now he is different.
Renly chuckled and nodded, approving of Paul's idea..
“So, if you don’t mind that my appearance may blur the focus of the movie premiere, then yes, I am ready to step into the spotlight again; not to mention, if something unexpected happens, I can at least be trusted You, all the mess will be dumped on you, how about it, my plan is good, right? "Paul tried to show his cunning, but it obviously didn't work well. The "plot" didn't sound threatening at all..
Renly said frankly, "You are welcome to spoil my premiere. I always think that premieres are just those clichés and really have no meaning. It needs some seasoning to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. You are willing to sacrifice yourself, Of course I couldn't be more happy.”
Renly is still Renly, full of confidence and in control..
Paul asked curiously, "Is this why you rushed back to Los Angeles the day before the premiere? To make some condiments to make things more interesting?" Before Renly could answer, Paul remembered something. He chuckled, "You know, Las Vegas even opened a bet to see if you would be late or even miss the premiere, haha! God, I can't believe they are so boring now..”
But this is Hollywood, and any trivial matter may become a discourse of entertainment. If in thirty years or more distant future, Las Vegas even takes out the secrets of the bedrooms of public figures for gambling, Renly will not feel at all. Unexpected, because that's what entertaining ourselves to death is all about.
In the late 1980s, someone once asked the editor-in-chief of the "Washington Post", "If someone wanted to see a public figure naked, would you publish it? Just like 'Playboy'.”
“I don’t want to publish it. But I will.” This was the editor-in-chief’s original answer. Even when the trend of “entertaining ourselves to death” just emerged in the 1980s, the top people in the industry had already anticipated the development of the times. direction; even high-end newspapers such as the "Washington Post" have to lower their stature to compete with those gossip tabloids. This is the saddest and most helpless current situation of the news industry..
Now, this derailed train still has no intention of stopping, and it is getting crazier and crazier..
“You should bet a million dollars on the one with the higher odds, and then let me know. We can work together to make those bookmakers miserable." Renly was not angry at all, such a small thing is not worth getting angry at all..
Paul was stunned, "What if the odds are high that you will be absent?" Actually, what Paul wanted to ask was, didn't the crew of "Interstellar" have a contract that required Renly to attend the premiere? After a breach of contract, you will definitely be able to demand compensation. "And if the bookmakers know about it, they will definitely come to settle the score with you.".”
Looking at Paul who was so sincere, Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then just be absent. The money won from the bet can cover the compensation for breach of contract. As for those bookmakers, believe me, they can all be negotiated. , because they know the consequences of behind-the-scenes manipulation better than we do.”
“are you serious? "Paul stuttered a little..
“Paul, has anyone ever said you're really cute? "Renly turned his head and said with a smile on his face..
Paul immediately realized that he had been stupid - and that he had been teased by Renly. He shook his head helplessly, "Renly, has anyone ever said that you really like pranks?"？”
“I don't think you are the first, and I don't think you will be the last." Renly still looked calm, which made Paul raise his hands in surrender, but made Renly exclaim, "Hey, I Not interested in the hospital！”
Such complaints made Paul grab his hands on the steering wheel again, but he laughed heartily and wantonly, "Haha, I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes..”
Renly, who was sitting next to him, showed a hint of helplessness, "Please torture those reporters, instead of torturing yourself, okay? Don't you know that all the reporters in Hollywood are waiting to be tortured?？”
Why does this sound weird? Paul tilted his head, but he didn’t know how to refute it..
