411 Get into character
“I mean, what do you like to do, besides writing?.”
Renly's words made Will come out of his thoughts, but his thoughts were still a little confused. He couldn't help but wonder, what should I do? Should he modify the script? But, how to modify it? Where to start? Do you have enough time?？
Countless thoughts were surging in his brain, so that his answer was not smooth, "Running, and music." Will's words seemed stumbling, and a large number of pauses of onomatopoeia could be heard, interrupting the entire conversation. Rhythm, "I mean, running and listening to music.”
“Then I guess we have something in common." Renly's joke successfully made Will smile. It seems that the urge to run in the rain just now was not unfounded, "I thought you were a homebody. You know , immersed in his own world of words, doesn’t know how to strike up a conversation with girls, and is not very good at sports.……”
“Yes, yes, I know the type you described." Will smiled and nodded, "I guess, I am indeed an otaku. I am always keen to express myself with words, just like this script. But I am a person who is very afraid of death.”
fear death.
This is a very interesting expression. Renly added, "Pay attention to health." In fact, the connotation is the same, but the different expressions can show the differences in personality..
Will was stunned, then nodded in approval, "Yes, I am a health-conscious person." He also showed a big smile, "Although I am not the kind of fitness fanatic who counts calories and uses protein powder. Devil, but I will pay attention to the health of the recipes, and I don’t smoke or drink……”
“Don't drive either.”
Renly's interjection made Will pause for a moment, his expression became more relaxed, and his thoughts gradually calmed down. He nodded vigorously again, "Yes, I don't drive either. In addition, I get up early every morning and run. I don't last long. It’s been a long time, just after graduating from college. But, I persevered every day..”
It can be heard that Will is an organized person. Once he sets the rules, he will stick to them..
Some people say that such people are relatively cold, their emotional fluctuations are not too obvious, and sometimes they even look cold-blooded, like robots; but Renly knows that on the contrary, in fact, such people are more fragile and sensitive. In order not to They were hurt, but they protected themselves tightly. Once they opened their hearts, the bond became stronger..
They live in their own little world and refuse to let strangers in casually, even pushing out everyone who comes close. They need more time to slowly accept new friends and new relationships. , new changes, new patterns; however, once they accept it, it will become a part of their lives, and the emotional connection will be deeper. This is true for family, love, and friendship..
Matthew Dunlop has such a personality.
Renly was not sure whether the same was true for Will. After all, the two people had known each other for a relatively short time, but it could be seen from the script of "I Fight Cancer" that the support of family and friendship was crucial to Adam. ; And the impact and shock caused by his girlfriend's betrayal was even more turbulent than cancer, completely breaking Adam's psychological balance..
“Maybe you should really try running in the rain, you might get different results." Renly suggested with a smile, "There should be a lot of opportunities like this in Seattle..”
The joking words made Will pause for a moment, look at Renly seriously, and then nodded deeply, "Maybe, maybe I will really try to see.”
“What about music? What music do you like to listen to? I mean, while running." Renly continued..
“Rock, indie rock, folk rock." Will's chatterbox seemed to open up, and his expression became animated, "Actually, I knew you before the Sundance Film Festival. I saw it on YouTube. Video of your performance, 'Cleopatra', that song is still one of my go-to running songs……”
Gradually, as the conversation deepened, Renly constructed an image of Adam in his mind. On his body, the image of Will was projected, looking for the shadow of Chu Jiashu..
Adam is indeed a very ordinary person, without blood or drama, just like countless ordinary people in society.
He grew up in an ordinary family. His parents loved each other and formed a happy family. There was no lack of care and love for him, and they accompanied him as he grew up..
He has an ordinary study experience. He is not the president of the student union or a team player, but he is also not a marginalized figure who concentrates on mathematics and physics and refuses to socialize. He is the editor of the school newspaper and has written some poems, but is not a man of the hour. , but also made an appointment with the person of his choice at the graduation prom..
He works an ordinary job, not the kind of job that changes the direction of the development of the world, but he also uses his talents in his position. He occasionally complains that his boss does not appreciate his abilities enough, but overall, he likes his job. Job content, satisfied with his working environment. This is the company he hopes to enter.
If there was no cancer, maybe his life would be normal, just like the meandering river, with some twists and turns, but calm..
But in fact, he is not without edges and corners, he just hides them.
He likes words, not only because of the wisdom hidden behind them, but also because of the retro spirit that words bring. He misses the days before the Internet destroyed modern civilization, so he likes rock, folk, Sundance, and radio. .Not roaring angrily and arrogantly, but just sticking to yourself in your own way, restrained and tenacious, but never wavering..
He likes running, and physical health is only part of the reason. More importantly, during the running process, music isolates him from the world. It is his own time, without thinking or communicating, just enjoying his own time. existence. He does not exclude social interaction, but he is not the kind of person who is good at dancing. He does not think that a person needs to be well-rounded and have friends all over the world. Enough is enough..
He is not good at expressing, and language is pale to him, far less rich than words, but it does not mean that he has no emotions. He misses his father before he suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and they could still chat a little at that time. On the topic of rock and roll; he cautiously invited his girlfriend to live together, which was the most sincere confession from his heart.
He knows that now is the 21st century, and the times are different. This is the Internet age and the media age. Everyone has to speak for themselves and even share their own lives. Nowadays, it is important to be emotionally rich, impulsive, and direct. Come and go, if sadness doesn't show, it's not sadness.
But he misses the past, that retro era, which emphasized restraint, low-keyness, calmness, restraint, rationality and elegance. He vented his full emotions in words. Those wantonness, those publicity, those ups and downs, those moving expressions were so profound. , so rich. I don’t say it, not because it doesn’t exist, but because it’s too deep..
After the times have changed, everything has become so simple, so superficial, so straightforward. Dignity and pride no longer exist. As long as a sufficient price is offered, everything can be bought..
He lives his own style in his own way. However, others cannot see it, let alone understand it..
So, when he learned that he had cancer, after a brief period of confusion, he remained calm, not because he didn't care, but because all his emotions were suppressed under the calm surface. He knew that he had to be strong. It is a long process of struggle. If he is not strong enough, he will have no chance in this losing battle. At least, this is what he told himself..
So, he told his girlfriend frankly and said that if he couldn't bear it, they could break up - not in a hypocritical way, but from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this matter was not easy for anyone. He can't face it easily, and his girlfriend has no responsibility or obligation to accompany him to face such ups and downs..
So, he hesitated whether he should tell his parents. Considering his father's situation, maybe his mother would be burdened too much to bear. But in the end, he chose to tell the truth, because this was likely to be the last part of his life. No matter how the journey ends, he doesn't want to leave any regrets.
So, he began to look for a way to cure cancer. He would not avoid it, but bravely faced the challenge. Whether the outcome was success or failure was secondary, but he would never give up before trying..
Renly looked at Will in front of him, and felt a touch of emotion in his heart. During the conversation, Adam's image gradually became fuller and more three-dimensional. It wasn't just Will, he was Chu Jiashu, and he was also Renly. In Adam His body was filled with too many personal emotions, so real and so clear that Renly began to have some blurred thoughts.：
Is this Will's story or his own?？
“Does anyone want to go shopping?？”
This was after Renly and Will finished chatting, the two came to the hall. Renly's first words made the whole hall silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment..
First running in the rain, then talking alone with the screenwriter in the dark room, and now shopping? This rhythm is really unpredictable.
Seth looked at Will, who also shrugged innocently. Seth could only speak directly, "Buying... what? Toiletries? Or...？”
“Clothes." Renly pointed to the clothes on his body, "This can't be put directly on camera..”
Seth reacted immediately, "You mean the costumes? We're all ready, Nathan, right?"？”
Hearing the voice calling him, Nathan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, we bought a batch of clothes yesterday and put them all in the room. They were all selected according to your size..”
Renly shook his head with a smile, "Are you talking about the ones on the hangers in the room? No, those cannot be used. They need to be purchased again. Can anyone tell me about the distribution of shopping areas in Seattle?？”
