1968 Return to China
Whether as an actor, pursuing a higher realm in the field of artistic creation; or as an artist, achieving more success in the commercial field, all of these are inseparable from the Don Quixotes and ordinary people. Support from movie fans——
This is a job that stands under the spotlight. This is a job that requires self-expression and response. Without those calls and shouts, without those supports and praises, then their job is to entertain themselves. They are just building things behind closed doors and will never be able to gain resonance; then everything they have is just illusory bubbles that will disperse as soon as the wind blows..
Renly knew all this.
At the same time, Renly also knew clearly that in ordinary life, he was very low-key and refused to share, trying his best to isolate his personal life, which also made his communication with movie fans very, very rare. He insisted on communicating with fans through his works. The audience completes the communication, so when each work comes out, it should be the moment for him to communicate with the audience. This is also the communication channel he hopes for, so he will go all out to participate in the promotion schedule.
Indeed, with Renly's current status and reputation, he can completely control his own publicity schedule, participate in publicity work in several major cities, and then enjoy his glamorous and leisurely life with tens of millions of dollars in salary checks. A comfortable life makes everyone in the world jealous to the point of liver ache.
But he doesn't want that.
“I don't want to forget myself.”
This sentence is a bit pretentious and egotistical, but it is the fundamental reason why Renly has persisted until now. He hopes that he will never forget the free soul tied to the hospital bed, and the heart that sprints towards his dream. With a pure heart, the moment he forgets, he will no longer be himself..
In fact, both Andy and Roy understood Renly's persistence, but Andy was ultimately an agent in the traditional system, and the concept of profit first made him make different choices; on the other hand, Roy initially chose to become a union member Agent, and then left the organization to become Renly's manager. This shows that at heart, Roy and Renly are the same type of people. It is this difference in choice that causes the two people's opinions to diverge..
But Nathan still seems to understand..
Although he got a clear answer from Roy and knew Renly's persistence, "knowing" and "understanding", "knowing" and "digesting" are two different things, and Nathan's mind still couldn't completely turn around. , the wisdom of life is too difficult for him, and there are countless confusions.
However, Nathan understood one thing: this is Renly's choice. If this is not Renly's own wish, then no one can force him.
“Huh..." Nathan let out a long breath. The only worry in his mind now is still Renly's physical condition. He hopes that the next two days can be passed safely. After leaving for Honolulu, Renly's I can stabilize my steps. Although I still need to film, at least I can adjust my body well..
Returning to his seat, Nathan still couldn't calm down his irritability. Amid anxiety and tension, time moved forward like a snail..
Before the plane arrived at its destination, Renly began to cough quietly. The air in the cabin was too dry, causing his lungs to burn badly. His light sleep state made the whole person in a restless state. A bad sleep The mass made my head feel as groggy as a ball of mush. In the end, I simply gave up on falling asleep and sat up directly. However, my slightly hot eyes were still heavy and unable to open..
“Renly? "Nathan immediately stood up reflexively. Without waiting for Renly's response, he walked to the waiting position of the flight attendant, asked for a glass of warm water, returned to Renly's position, and stood quietly. After waiting quietly for a moment, Renly sat up and asked cautiously, "Renly, do you need a drink of water?"？”
Renly didn't answer.
He just sat there with his eyes closed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, an abnormal blush on his cheeks, and a hint of pain. He shook his head slightly, and then nodded slightly, but he didn't know what he was expressing. Meaning, the irritability between the eyebrows was released like this, and he inadvertently lost his temper like a child..
Renly had never seen him like this before, which made Nathan even more worried. He closed his mouth tightly, not daring to make even a little sound..
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
Nathan could clearly hear the sound of the second hand moving by his ear, and then Renly's agitated state quietly calmed down..
Normally, every time I see Renly's strong control and self-control, it seems that any difficulty or emotion can be brought under control. This ability makes Nathan sincerely admire him; but today, Nathan couldn't help but feel distressed. , even if you are sick, you cannot vent your temper willfully, you always need to strictly control yourself. This control that everyone envies, how much pain and torture did you go through in childhood to hone it?.
The glamorous appearance and elegant and calm demeanor of the hereditary nobles always make people look up to and yearn for them; but behind that rigorous self-control, what is revealed is a loneliness that is difficult to erase. Only those who have truly experienced it Only people can understand how terrifying the weight of that crown is..
“Thank you." Renly finally opened his eyes and took the warm water from Nathan's hand with a smile. There was a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice, "Can you help me find two aspirin after landing? I might need a little help." These were obviously extremely weak words, but they were still said in a gentlemanly and calm manner, as if they were just saying "I want to eat an apple.".
“certainly! "Nathan nodded in affirmation, and hesitated for a moment, "Renly, do you really have nothing to do with it? You don't seem to be in good health.”
“Ha." The corners of Renly's mouth raised slightly, but his tired expression was well concealed, making it invisible to others, "Don't worry, I have dealt with worse situations, have you forgotten? As an assistant, isn't your memory a little too bad?？”
At this moment, he was still in the mood to joke, but Nathan couldn't laugh at all. He twitched the corners of his mouth, and his smile was uglier than crying. After all, he couldn't hide his worries, "But, why did you agree to this promotional trip? The last time I came to Shanghai, the reporters were not so friendly..”
Renly will certainly not forget.
The last time the Magic City promoted "Gravity", he thought that maybe he should not come back and keep a little distance, but could keep the beautiful memories intact; but who could have thought that after just seven months, He actually returned to the Magic City again, and returned to this land for movie promotion..
Renly did not answer immediately, but raised the water glass and took a sip of warm water. The warm boiled water moistened his dry throat. The hot and stinging feeling was slightly relieved, and he cast his gaze towards the window across the aisle. , slightly lost in thought, "Do you know what the true appearance of your home is like? When you are in it, you always want to escape; but after you actually escape, you can't help but miss it deep in your heart. You know you shouldn't come back, but Still can't help but take steps forward.”
home? get away? return？
Nathan couldn't understand it at all, as if he was listening to a book from heaven. Is Renly talking about "Interstellar", propaganda, or something else?？
Renly had no intention of explaining in depth. He raised his head and showed a shallow smile to Nathan, "Everyone hopes to get generous rewards without paying, or enjoy benefits but refuse to pay the price, getting something for nothing. , Daydreaming, that is such a happy thing, but this world should not work like this..”
Nathan was still confused and couldn't keep up: What? What is Renly talking about? Why do I get more confused and confused the more I listen to it? Is Renly sure his head isn't a mess from a fever? Why can't he understand a word? He didn't even know what his original question was.！
Then, the appearance of the flight attendant interrupted the conversation between Nathan and Renly - to be precise, the flight attendant just stood not far behind and did not come forward to disturb.
While waiting for Renly to cast his gaze, the flight attendant took the initiative to come up and said, "Sorry, the plane is still in flight. It is recommended that you sit in your seat and keep your seat belt fastened, otherwise you will encounter turbulence in the airflow. , this is not very safe. If you need help with anything, you can always tell us.”
The other party is trying to persuade Nathan.
Nathan cast a confirming glance at Renly, and after receiving a positive reply, he turned around and returned to his seat..
The flight attendant knelt down next to Renly's seat and kept a polite gaze, "Mr. Hall, is there anything I can help with?"？”
“Warm water, I need another glass of warm water, thank you." Renly also said politely.
The flight attendant took the paper cup and returned after a while. After ensuring that Renly had no other needs, the other party did not get up and leave. Instead, he asked politely, "Sorry to bother you. I'm asking on behalf of the crew. Waiting for landing." Afterwards, can you take a photo with us? It's okay if it's not convenient, but we are really honored to serve you..”
Looking at the slightly reserved smile of the flight attendant, a light of joy and excitement flashed deep in his eyes, but his nervous expression still couldn't hide the surge of expectation. Renly's mouth corners raised in a perfect arc, and he gently nodded his head in expression. Agreeing, "Of course. It's also my honor..”
The other party immediately showed a big and bright smile, and the joy from the bottom of his heart made the air surge, "Thank you very much! Then, I won't disturb your rest." Then, the flight attendant stood up. Get up, try to suppress his emotions, turn around and leave.
After a while, there was a low commotion right in front of the cabin. The excitement and excitement could not be hidden at all..
