455 suddenly see the light
People are always like this, eager to know the future, but afraid of the future.
If they knew in advance that the result was destined to fail, how many people would be willing to keep trying? If we have long understood that hard work is doomed to be in vain, how many people are still willing to look back? The answer is - very few.
More often than not, most people tend to be handcuffed by the so-called future, because of fear of failure, rejection of waste, and utilitarianism, and ultimately choose to stand still or change their ways. However, Renly is not "most people"”.
He will not give up before trying, and he will not back down before working hard. If he is afraid of failure, he will make different choices at the beginning. He can follow the family's plan and choose a better path. An easier and simpler path. But he still chose this path.
The charm of the future lies in the unknown. You can follow history or change history. What the outcome will be can only be known after fighting hard for yourself..
The results of the 83rd Academy Awards still followed the historical trajectory and did not change because of the appearance of the little butterfly Renly. For Renly, such results are insignificant..
Looking at Rooney in front of him, Renly chuckled and joked, "So you left because you lost on 'The Social Network'?" Renly's mood was not affected at all, he had no disappointment or regret..
Rooney's eyes fell on the corners of Renly's mouth, and involuntarily raised them as well, and asked, "What do you think?？”
“Sorry, forgive me for being rude. I forgot that the person we are discussing is Oscar." Renly did not answer directly, but mocked himself in a relaxed manner, but his calm tone, no matter how you heard it, They all seem to be satirizing Oscar's immutability and decay - exactly the same as what Rooney just said..
Rooney burst out laughing, which made Renly raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes showed confusion and confusion..
Although Renly's words just now were quite humorous, they were not enough to make others laugh. Rooney's reaction was really... too flattering..
Rooney turned her head to prevent her smile from being too impolite and offending Renly, but there was no cover for the constant shrug of her shoulders. She controlled it a little, and her laughter calmed down a little. She turned her head again, with the smile still remaining in her eyes. With a bright smile, his whole face softened, "I'm sorry, I was a little unfocused just now. To be honest, your head is very eye-catching now, and it is trying to steal all the attention..”
Renly raised his eyes and looked up. Although he couldn't see his head, the chilly feeling was not compromised at all. He was reminded in detail: the night wind was quite strong, so be careful to catch a cold..
Renly couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly. He raised his right hand and touched his forehead twice. The unfamiliar, furry and sharp touch made his eyebrows slightly raised. It could be seen that he also Adapting to this earth-shaking change.
This simple action, combined with the small expressions on Renly's eyebrows and mouth, made Rooney's smile widen again..
The Renly in front of him was so familiar, yet so unfamiliar. The cold blue moonlight fell on his shoulders. There was a smile on his cheek that had not faded in time, but hidden behind it... there was a touch of sadness and loneliness. That touch The loneliness and confusion settled between the eyebrows, and even the moonlight became softer.
Rooney vaguely understood what this bald head meant..
“So, do you really not care about Oscar statuettes? " Rooney already had her own guess deep in her heart, but she still asked. She looked at the man in front of her with burning eyes, paused for a moment, and then showed a playful smile, "Or, you know the result. , there would be no change even if I attended, so I deliberately chose not to go, so that at least from a publicity perspective, I would be in an invincible position..”
Straightforward, sharp, sharp, and even a little offensive. No one can forget that just a few days ago, reporters were condemning Renly for his unscrupulous methods for publicity. Everything was a hype trap, which triggered a frenzy of public opinion. ; But now, Rooney has thrown out this doubt again in her own way, without covering up..
Renly was not irritated, he just smiled and shrugged, not to mention explaining, not even planning to respond..
Such a calm gesture seemed to be dismissive at all, which made Rooney a little helpless..
However, Rooney was not one to give up easily, and she did not ask any further questions. She just seriously met Renly's gaze. Her tenacious eyes fell on Renly motionlessly, and she put on a picture of "I can't get what I want." The answer will not give up easily" attitude.
Renly laughed dumbly, "If I said that I actually really want to attend the Oscars, would you believe it?？”
Rooney's eyebrows slightly raised, obviously she didn't believe it..
But Renly shrugged again and said with a smile, "I'm serious." Such an answer completely stunned Rooney. She could tell that Renly was not joking..
Without pausing, Renly continued, "It's just that there happened to be something more important..”
An understatement, without any unnecessary embellishments, simple and clear, but like a loud bell, it exploded in Rooney's ears, deafening, stirring the soul and tsunami of thoughts continuously..
Tonight at the Kodak Theater, Rooney never found a sense of belonging and always felt out of place, so much so that she eventually ran away..
She thought it was because she resisted being labeled as a business, she thought it was because the Oscars were no longer just a film event, she thought it was because the awarding of the statuette was no longer a contest of strength but a game of public relations... But the fact is But it is not the case - more precisely, it is indeed because of this, but not because of it.
What matters is never the Oscar itself, but how you appear at the Oscar..
If top veteran actors like Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis give wonderful performances, walk on the red carpet of the Oscars, receive their own praise, gain their own recognition, and enjoy With your own lighting, the Oscars are the grandest, most authoritative, and most solemn display stage in the world..
If it is an idol vase like Kim Kardashian or Robert Pattinson, they may not even have any acting work. They appear at the Oscars just for exposure, just like a beautifully packaged gift box, presented in the spotlight. If it is not for sale, then even if it is not the Oscars, any other awards ceremony will be equally boring..
What Rooney is resisting is not Oscar, but herself.
Because in the work "The Social Network", her performance is really not outstanding. Not to mention the nomination, she can't even be mentioned as a vase. Therefore, tonight's attendance has been reduced to a complete reality show. Then Her naked eyes make her look like a cheap commodity; but if next time, she gives a top performance and gets a nomination, then she will appear at the Kodak Theater with a proud attitude and accept her own applause.
Just like Renly.
Performance, everything is about performance.
“The performance of "Buried Alive" is already outstanding enough. Renly could have walked uprightly on the stage of the Oscar Awards ceremony, bathed in the baptism of spotlight, but Renly was absent, just because his performance in "Fighting Cancer" was even more impressive. Important. It originates from performance, ends with performance, changes with performance, and returns to performance. Everything is closely related to performance..
Oscars are important. Performance is more important.
Rooney suddenly understood the reason for Renly's absence and the reason for her escape. The whole world suddenly became brighter, and the hunting wind in Seattle late at night seemed to no longer be fierce, but became graceful and exciting..
Once again, her eyes fell on Renly's bald head, thoughtfully, with a bright light flowing in her eyes, and the joy was like a butterfly's wings fluttering gently..
“I believe you made a right choice." A smile appeared on Rooney's face. She was not ostentatious, but extremely determined. All the irritability and glitz gradually settled down, and her feet finally felt down to earth again. reality.
“Haha." A deep smile surged in Renly's chest, like the melody resonating between a cello and a bass drum, "Reporters may not necessarily agree with you..”
“The point is, do you care? " Rooney didn't pause at all, looked at Renly with a half-smile, and said.
Although it was a question, the tone was very certain. The determined eyes fell on Renly's face, with a hint of scorching temperature. Then she saw the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth was like the rising morning sun, bit by bit. Every point rises and blooms, magnificent and beautiful.
Even in silence, Rooney knew that her answer was correct. The previous question was, and the question this time was also.
Looking up, the dark night sky in Seattle was filled with countless stars, as if a bamboo basket full of stars had been overturned, filling the sky. This reminded Rooney of that night in Telluride. About the movie night. She likes nights like this.
On the way to the Sunset Tower Hotel, she chose to leave and purchased a departure ticket. This was her wisest decision in the past few months..
Withdrawing her gaze, Rooney looked at Renly's bald head seriously. Her calm mind began to surge again, and countless fantastic thoughts burst out. After being silent for the whole afternoon and the whole night, she finally began to recover and regained her vitality. , "Tell me about your performance tonight. I think it's much more exciting than a boring awards ceremony.".”
Rooney was a little excited. She tried hard to keep her voice calm, but her bright eyes still revealed her inner excitement. It was not just a bald head, but also the loneliness and bitterness between Renly's brows. She didn't know The ins and outs, causes and consequences, but I know that behind that indifferent look, there must be a wonderful story..
