470 Encounter in the wilderness
Looking at Roy in front of him, Renly actually didn't recognize him..
Not only because his cheeks were severely tested by the sun and deformed, but also because his dress also broke the impression in Renly's mind..
In the previous contacts, Roy wore a suit and shirt, but he was always a little sloppy. The clothes looked wrinkled, the tie was crooked, and traces of food residues could even be seen on the collar or hem. The slovenly image is further reflected in the messy desk.
Roy is now wearing quick-drying underwear, a jacket and light hiking shoes. It is a typical professional hiking suit. It is far from office attire, but the real difference is not there. It is that the whole suit is neat and strictly in accordance with professional regulations. Dressed in a meticulous manner, the clothes are tucked into the waistband of the trousers, the trousers are tightened, a sweat towel is tied around the neck, etc., etc., the messy appearance before is completely gone..
This, this is really surprising.
Roy seemed to read the confusion in Renly's eyes and smiled, but the contrasting face looked a little funny, "If you want to survive in the wild, strictly abide by the rules of the manual. This is the first step. .Especially for novices." Roy's explanation made Renly smile. Roy shrugged slightly, as if his strength had not yet been fully recovered. "For fifteen days in a row, I encountered the words of a professional veteran, even a stubborn one. Shi, we also need to make improvements..”
Renly couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again, and added, "At the same time, it is also to put an end to the annoying nagging..”
Roy nodded seriously and admitted frankly, "This is the core reason.”
Renly chuckled lightly, "Why are you here? I thought I had the wrong person just now." After a brief interesting conversation, Renly asked the most obvious question..
Roy doesn't look like a fan of outdoor sports; what's more, as an agent of the Screen Actors Guild, he is running at high speed almost every day of the year, not to mention holidays. In daily life, working overtime is commonplace. Asking for leave can be said to be a luxury for them..
Roy did not answer immediately. Instead, he peeled off the chocolate and took two bites of the chocolate that had turned into paste. His rapid and chaotic breathing calmed down a little, and then he said, "It's nothing, it's just that I resigned.".”
Renly raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the answer, "I thought you liked your job, you know, helping as many new actors as possible.”
Roy glanced sideways at Renly, his look clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?" However, Renly pursed his lips innocently, met Roy's gaze, and looked back, no words needed. , but that expression couldn't be more obvious, seeming to say, "I'm serious." At least judging from the several contacts between the two, Renly could not feel Roy's rejection..
Roy laughed dumbly, "To be precise, no agent in the Screen Actors Guild likes his or her job." He stuffed the whole chocolate into his mouth and chewed it slowly to replenish his body's energy. , explained by the way, “In the morning, due to an accident, my kettle was knocked over, and then my lunch was taken away by a badger..”
A simple sentence explained the reason why Roy was so embarrassed..
Renly couldn't hold it back and raised the corners of his mouth. Roy also knew that this was ridiculous, but in the wilderness, anything is possible. He shrugged, expressed his helplessness, and confirmed, "Agent from the Screen Actors Guild, It's like being a court-appointed public lawyer. The salary is not high, the work is hard, no one cares about it, and the rights are limited, just like charity. But the point is, no one in our lives wants to do charity..”
Although Renly is just an actor and has limited knowledge of the work of an agent, he knows what Roy said..
Professional agents like Andy make profits by taking a cut of the actors' income. To put it simply, the higher the actor's income, the higher their income. This is why all agents continue to strive for higher salaries for their actors. ; And public agents like Roy rely on the salaries paid by the Screen Actors Guild to survive. The income of actors has nothing to do with them. Of course, new actors do not have much income in the first place..
So why would anyone want to be a public broker?？
The reason is very simple. The first is career planning. In the future, I plan to engage in management work such as senior leadership of the Screen Actors Guild, or seek a position in a production company; the second is building connections, relying on the big tree of the Screen Actors Guild. Under this system, you can establish relationships with the six major film companies without any obstacles, which will be of immeasurable value when you change jobs in the future..
Public agents like Roy have a very high turnover, and they come in and out very frequently. When a third-tier actor stars in a work, the work will be handled by three different public agents when signing the contract, filming and finalization. situation is not uncommon.
Resigning is not unusual.
“So what are your next steps? "Renly asked..
Except for a small number of public agents who are committed to "philanthropy" and are willing to treat this career as a lifelong career, most public agents know clearly that one day they will resign. Therefore, before submitting your resignation, you should You will have certain plans for your career.
Obviously, switching to a professional broker is the most appropriate and easiest choice.
But surprisingly, Roy shook his head, "I don't know yet. This is why I chose to hike. I plan to put work aside for the time being, enjoy this vacation and see the end of this road." Where and when are you ready to stop and think about future plans?.”
Renly was a little stunned. From these simple words, it can be guessed that resigning was an unexpected move. Roy had already left the Screen Actors Guild before he had time to make a plan for the next step. What happened behind the scenes? What a story, it’s really intriguing.
However, that is Roy's private matter, and Renly has no intention of spying..
“Which direction did you come from? "Renly did not continue the conversation in depth, but changed the topic..
Roy was not surprised at all that Renly was a gentleman. In the previous few conversations, he was deeply impressed by the maturity and wisdom displayed by this young man. "Peggy." Roy replied smoothly..
Immediately afterwards, the two people started talking about their hiking experiences in the past period, as if they were just two ordinary hikers, accidentally sharing their experiences on the road, and then embarking on their respective journeys again. In the future On the road, they may meet again, or they may not, but this chance encounter becomes a part of their journey..
Roy listened carefully to Renly's stories. Those ordinary, interesting, thrilling and exciting experiences, you can see Renly's concentration and devotion from the active look between his eyebrows - this is not just a story. Just an impulsive attempt, but really enjoy it.
Due to their brief relationship, Renly left a deep impression on Roy. When browsing the news, he would pay more attention to Renly's news. Those turbulent controversies, those heated discussions, Those true and false doubts are like a thin veil, isolating Renly from the public, and it is still impossible to get a glimpse of his true nature..
But looking at Renly in front of him, with the vigor and vitality of a young man, and the wantonness and publicity of fiery youth, the image of Renly in Roy's mind gradually began to become fuller..
“are you sure? "Roy looked at the supplies placed in front of him. There was less than a quarter of the kettle's supply of pure water, a piece of melted chocolate, half an energy bar, and two slices of whole wheat bread..
Even beggars would despise the extremely shabby supplies in the city, but in the wilderness, they are worth thousands of gold and extremely precious. Especially since Renly left half of the few water resources he had left, this It’s even more valuable.
Renly's dark brown eyes twinkled slightly, "It's not a difficult choice whether to leave these supplies or carry you to the supply point." Roy couldn't help but smile at his humorous ridicule, " I should ask this question, are you sure?？”
After a short conversation, the two people came to the moment of separation. This is an inevitable experience during hiking. This is a journey of struggle between oneself and oneself. Even if a companion is accompanying you, every step on the road must still be made by someone. Do it yourself. Both Roy and Renly understand this clearly.
Roy signaled for Renly to leave first, while he stayed where he was to regain his strength before setting out on his own..
“Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life. Otherwise, even if I drag your trousers, I won't let you go." Roy, who had taken off his suit, seemed a little different from the one in the office. I also relaxed a little while talking..
Renly nodded in confirmation without saying anything to his mother-in-law, and then he picked up his luggage again, stood up, adjusted his muscles, and prepared to set off again, "When I arrive at the supply station, I will tell the rescue personnel at the camp that tonight Everyone is waiting for your arrival.”
This is also a rescue technique during hiking. If Roy still does not show up after a certain time limit, the rescue personnel will go to the rescue to ensure the safety of every straggler as much as possible..
Roy waved his hand in response, watching Renly leave, a thought flashed through his mind, and he raised his voice and said, "Congratulations on your recovery..”
Previous news reported that Renly suffered from physical and mental problems during the filming of "Fighting Cancer", which triggered a lot of discussion. Some people believed it, but others didn't. Many people in the industry thought it was Renly's fault. The public relations team deliberately created the illusion in order to quell the maliciously hyped news..
But from Roy's point of view, he believed it was true.
Renly turned around, backed away in an orderly manner, showed a slight smile, and said loudly, "Congratulations on embracing freedom and starting your life again..”
