383 Weird old man
George knew that he had a bad temper, but when facing Renly, he felt that his temper was particularly bad. His blood pressure was always challenging the limit, "You don't even record the songs you created, then how can you Recording an album? How can we get into the studio? This is so lazy!!”
Looking at George who was jumping anxiously, Renly's unhurried attitude formed a sharp contrast, as if George was the young boy in his early twenties, and Renly was the old man entering his twilight years. Inexplicable joy.
“My defense is: I had not decided to record the album just three minutes ago." Renly replied with an innocent expression on his face..
George glared at Renly, "You!" But he only said one word, and then he became angry. He couldn't say any more words after that. He could only stare at Renly with his eyes rounded, and his mood was like this. I'm stuck here. I can't go up, but I can't get down either. It's really uncomfortable..
Once upon a time, he was also a top producer who always spoke his mind. All the big-name singers were so well-behaved in front of him that they didn't dare to talk back; now, he was speechless by a 21-year-old young man. Defeat. Time always reminds me inadvertently that instead of regretting, it is better to start from now, seize every moment, and don’t continue to regret..
George knew he would regret missing Renly.
However, there are no steps, how can he get around? You can't just sit down, that would be too embarrassing!
At this time, Neil came over and put a glass of lemonade in front of George. The tone in George's heart still didn't go down, his eyebrows were raised, and he angrily said without hesitation, "What kind of dog/shit is this?"!”
Neil didn't say anything, but looked at Renly sitting next to him with a smile. George turned his head and cast a questioning laser beam. Renly shrugged, "I'm just worried that if you continue like this, you might It will explode. I think it would be better for us to avoid such a situation as much as possible before the album recording is completed. What do you think??”
The understatement, but sharp sarcasm, choked George speechless for a while. If he had been young, he would have raised his hand and smashed the glass of lemonade over. But now is not the time to be young..
After this interruption, George's mood gradually calmed down, and he simply continued the momentum and sat down. His red cheeks showed no signs of improvement, but the congestion in his head was relieved..
He pushed the lemonade back angrily, "This is for sissies, I'm not interested." Then he raised the whiskey glass in his hand, hesitated, and put the glass back on the bar. After all, I didn’t buy a second cup..
After Neil greeted the guests, he came over again, neatly opened four bottles of beer with a screwdriver, and placed them one by one. Then he raised his chin to Renly and gestured, "Deck No. 7.”
Without saying anything else, he put the empty beer glass aside. Renly skillfully grabbed four bottles of beer with both hands and walked towards the booth..
George looked at Renly's leaving figure and his eyes widened again - why was he so thorny just now, but now so easy to talk to? Renly is obviously a rising acting star and has even been nominated for an Oscar, but now he's working as a waiter in a bar?
His eyes were full of astonishment, and he was depressed but unable to vent. He could only look at Neil and said angrily, "What are you looking at! Get me a glass of beer, just that smoky beer." Venting all the anger. Neil.
Neil shrugged innocently and turned around to pour the beer..
“Welcome to Pioneer Village, your beer, how can I help you? "With ease, Renly returned to his job as a bartender and said with a smile..
There were three people sitting in the booth in front of him, an old scholar with messy hair, an old artist with an Einstein haircut, and a sloppy old homeless man with a beard. The old scholar sitting in the center was chattering. As he spoke, the other two people listened intently, and the scene looked inexplicably joyful..
Renly was not surprised. He placed a bottle of beer in front of everyone, and the remaining bottle was placed in the center. "Do you need a menu? Or do you need a wine list? There is still some time before dinner. We only have some simple snacks here, but you can always heat up a piece of pie if you need it.”
The three people all raised their heads at the same time, and the old scholar also stopped talking..
The old artist sitting on the right looked at Renly carefully and said with a smile, "Why don't you sit down and share this bottle of beer with us??”
This... what is going on? This was actually something Renly didn't expect..
Renly frowned slightly, with a polite smile on his face, and joked jokingly, "If this is your method of striking up a conversation, it is really too old-fashioned. It probably worked a few decades ago. After all, it is no longer the case. It’s the age of alcohol prohibition.”
This sarcastic, flurry of blows showed Renly's position..
In fact, if it weren't for the old scholar in the center, who was the famous Woody Allen, and Renly knew that Woody had a good relationship with Stanley and had introduced him to him once before; then, at this time Renly's words would not be so gentle..
Woody's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked like he hadn't woken up. "Young people today are always too impulsive, but when they hear a sentence, they make random guesses, regardless of whether the other person has good intentions or bad intentions. Everything has to do with oneself, everything has to do with discrimination. Just like Don Quixote, he can't wait to raise his spear and dance hard to show off his muscles..”
The rambling words may seem ordinary, but the sarcasm and joking in them are inadvertently revealed, consistent with Woody's style..
Renly didn't get angry. He pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and then outlined a shallow arc upwards. "People are always forgetful, aren't they? They always forget that they were once young..”
Unlike Woody's long speech, Renly only used a short sentence to complete the counterattack. You can clearly see the old artist's uncontrollable look; the old tramp raised his eyes, looking between Renly and Woody paused for a moment, then continued to lower his eyes..
Woody himself, on the other hand, didn't have any special expression. He just raised his thick eyebrows like Crayon Shin-chan and didn't say anything more..
The old artist looked at Renly with interest, "So, this is the little guy you're talking about? He doesn't look like him at all..”
Woody shrugged noncommittally, with a disdainful expression on his face that was too lazy to respond. The old artist was not frustrated and glanced at the old tramp opposite, "What do you think? Why do I think this is different from imagination?" The difference is too big.”
The old tramp's eyes also fell on Renly, as if he was looking at the goods displayed in the window. The expression hidden behind the beard was unclear and unrecognizable..
The old artist was ignored by Woody and received no response from the old tramp, but he didn't mind at all. He didn't even care about Renly's confused look and continued his one-man show, "He looks really good." He is too young, definitely under 25 years old. If he is 20 years old, I will believe it. And I am sure that his tutor must be very good. This is a very interesting thing. You said , if I directly asked him about his relationship with his parents, would it be too personal??”
Renly is now full of questions. This incident has revealed something strange from beginning to end; are they targeting him, or has he accidentally hit the muzzle of the gun??
“I thought I wouldn't see him today. Didn't you say that he no longer works here? "The old artist was still saying confusing words, "Did you say hello in advance? So he came here specially? So can we talk in depth now? However, I think his appearance does not meet the requirements, so there is no need to talk about it. What do you think??”
The last words were spoken while looking at the old homeless man..
Renly had a vague feeling that the "he" in the other person's mouth was referring to him, but he was standing here. It was really rude for them to comment so openly. This feeling was not good, it could even be said to be terrible..
“So, is it the wine list or the menu? "Renly ignored the long speech just now and asked with a smile. For nobles, automatically blocking those irrelevant words is their basic ability, alienation, alienation, alienation..
That polite gentlemanly demeanor vaguely draws a line, and then builds a transparent wall to widen the psychological distance between each other. It cannot be seen, cannot be touched, and cannot even be explained, but it is real. exist.
The old artist tilted his head, his eyes showing more interest, looking at Renly curiously, and again.
Woody's expression didn't change much, and he interjected in a calm tone, "If you want to sit down, sit down now; if you want to leave, don't stand there and act pretentious. Those little tricks that pretend to be noble seem too much. It's clumsy. It's best to leave those vulgar methods in Hollywood and don't bring them to New York. They're not welcome here..”
The little old man's words never had too many waves, but the sarcasm and indifference in them did not diminish at all..
Surprisingly, Renly didn't refute, he just smiled and nodded to the two people next to him, "If you need a menu, just raise your hand." Then, Renly turned around and left without any hesitation..
More importantly, Renly didn't look frustrated or furious, as if Woody's words just now had no effect on him at all. The calm back, the smiling profile, and even the steps didn't make any difference. special changes.
The old artist smiled brightly and said, "This little guy is indeed interesting..”
