577 Treat it calmly
As he spoke, Paul suddenly laughed, "You know, I have shot a movie before. Jessica Alba and I stayed in the Bahamas for nearly three months. We really learned to dive from scratch. Start, then go deep into the ocean and explore the unknown world. After the normal shooting every day, I go to the sea with the diving instructor and always stay for a short while." The words stopped here and did not continue. Go down, the eyes that gradually become darker are filled with stories.
Paul scratched his head, chuckled twice, expressed shyness about his distraction, and retracted his attention, "And you can also make many friends, Toby, Reese, Claire, Kate... we are all from the same group. As an actor, no one had any achievements at that time. They occasionally played small roles in TV series. They would hang out along Santa Monica Boulevard at night and shout excitedly when they received an audition call.……”
Tony Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Claire Danes, Kate... there are so many Kates in Hollywood that it’s hard to tell them apart for a while, but their group of actors are of the same age. In addition to becoming famous at a young age, In addition to Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck of "Boston Gang", including Ethan Hawke and Denise Richards (Denise-Richards) Wait, they are all the same group of people who play together. The representative group of "Generation X".
“Those were really wonderful years. Of course, they still are today." Paul came to his senses from his memories. It can be seen that Paul is very pure. It is this purity that has allowed him to stay in Hollywood for nearly twenty years. But he has never been involved in any bad habits. "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly think of asking me this question?？”
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and now I remember the beginning of the problem. A smile appeared in Renly's eyes..
“No, I just want to say that everyone has something they yearn for. For some people, this may be honey, but for some people, it may be arsenic." Renly said lightly, " Just like what happened this time. For Fan, power and reputation are more important; for you, enjoying the happiness of the working process is more important; and for me, immersing myself in the world of actors is the most important.”
“This is not criticism or judgment, it's just that everyone's pursuit is different." Renly looked at Paul who was confused and puzzled, and his smile rose a little, "I mean, starring in 'Fast and Furious' For me, the most important meaning of the series is to experience the speed and passion of commercial movies. Once you have experienced it, it is enough. If you can star in the sequel, I will be happy to continue to cooperate with you; if not , I don’t feel embarrassed, it’s not like, if we don’t continue to cooperate, we will no longer be friends.？”
Renly will be regretful if he misses "Bad Boss"; but Renly will be sad if he misses "Crazy Love"; as for missing "Fast and Furious", Renly is dispensable. In the final analysis, it is still a personal hobby and issues of personal choice.
Paul pondered for a moment, chewed Renly's words carefully, and said with hesitation between his eyebrows, "You mean, you don't care about Fan's little actions.？”
Renly shrugged lightly, with a slight smile on his lips. Then he looked away, looked straight ahead, and slowly enjoyed his coffee, "Is this the coffee from the mobile food truck? Jesus Christ, their coffee beans are really good." Renly exclaimed in an exaggerated way..
Paul, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. His eyes stayed on Renly's face for two seconds, and then he laughed involuntarily and shook his head gently, a little helpless, but also a little relaxed and comfortable. But it is undeniable that his mood brightened and all the anger and irritability quietly disappeared..
Paul also turned his head and looked straight ahead quietly, "I was originally thinking of threatening Neil and Michael through my agent and going forward and retreating with you. If they don't meet your conditions, then I will quit 'Speed' The sequel to 'Passion' was filmed, but……”
“What, do you feel lost now? "Renly took over and joked, making Paul laugh again, "You filmed 'The Fast and the Furious', wasn't it because you like racing? Since you like it, why give up, but I really think you should take this opportunity to threaten Universal Pictures and give you a salary increase. Next time, will we have the opportunity to go deep into the sea together? Professional equipment isn’t cheap.”
The haze gradually dissipated, and Paul finally regained his usual sunshine, "How do you know I like racing? I don't remember mentioning it..”
Renly couldn't help but be stunned. Paul loved racing. This was a magazine interview he saw in his last life. At that time, Paul Walker had passed away in a car accident, and the whole world was mourning his passing. How ironic and ridiculous , a person who loved racing, a person who was famous for his drag racing movies, died because his friend's car was speeding, like an absurd comedy.
Thinking of this, Renly's mind couldn't help but become confused..
Renly didn't pay much attention to Paul when he met him before. Firstly, it was just a chance encounter. Secondly, the end of everyone's life is death. Thirdly, he has no savior complex. He cannot save everyone, and there is no way to save everyone. Man, he is not God.
Therefore, even though he knew that Paul was traveling with friends on November 30, 2013, while sitting in the passenger seat, but lost control of the car due to speeding, resulting in a car accident and an untimely death, Renly also No treating each other differently, we are still equals.
But now, "Paul Walker" is no longer a name in the news media, nor a character on the movie screen, but a living person in real life, a friend of Renly Hall, a true Friend. The sudden fact hit him hard, leaving Renly at a loss..
He thought of Heather Cross.
But the difference is that Heather is caught by fate. Unless medical treatment can make rapid progress in the next few years and find a new cure, they can only stand by and watch Heather walk towards the end of life step by step. The end; but Paul was because of an accident, a man-made accident that could be avoided, stopped, and redeemed. So could he save Paul?？
“Renly? Renly? Yo ho? "Paul stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Renly's eyes, calling Renly back who was distracted, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly fall into a daze?？”
Looking at Paul in front of him again, Renly could not help but feel bitterness on the tip of his tongue. Survival and death are eternal propositions for mankind. No one can escape. Even if he lives again, it will still be the same. Is he too stupid? Facing the issues of life and death, you can deal with them indifferently, but you will never learn..
“No, I just remembered that the ocean and racing are the two most important things in your life. Wait, there’s Meadow.” Meadow-Rain, Paul’s daughter, now lives in Hawaii , which is why Paul often goes to Hawaii to surf.
Renly's teasing made Paul chuckle, not noticing the flash of worry in Renly's eyes. "I mean, leave the sequel negotiations to the agent. We should just act honestly." Renly has regained his usual calmness. There are still two years until 2013, right? "Neither you nor I are cut out to be producers..”
That complaint made Paul laugh loudly, "Fact, this is a fact. I think you are born to be an actor, and you should become an actor."！”
“I think so too." Renly nodded seriously and accepted the compliment calmly. Paul's cheerful laughter startled the sparrows on the treetops, and there was a sound of flapping wings, which was so lively..
“Renly, there are still five minutes of rest time." Nathan ran over quickly and showed an apologetic smile to Paul, "Well, do you need a script?？”
“It’s easy to lose track of time when chatting, so I won’t disturb you.” Paul knew Renly’s habits and stood up proactively, signaling to leave some space for Renly..
Renly was not polite, "What about you? Are you leaving now? If you stay, we can go to the Pioneer Village for a drink together in the evening..”
“can you? "This is not the first time Paul has visited the team. The last time he was on the set of "Fighting Cancer", Renly's condition was really bad. He didn't even have time to meet Renly and left directly. Even in " For the crew of "Fast and Furious 5", Renly will not enjoy nightlife after filming. At most, he will play guitar, drink a bottle of beer or read a book at the accommodation, and relax a little. He will not occasionally like Fan and others. When you're tired, go to a bar in the city and have a night of partying.
“A bottle of beer, no problem." Renly said with a smile. The "detached" performance state is different, closer to the West End or Broadway model. At the end of each day's performance, simply relax and then continue for the second time. Prepare for the day's role. It's no problem.
Paul snapped his fingers and said, "It's settled. I'll go to the side to watch your performance with the others. Come on!" Paul smiled and took two steps back, then walked towards the crew..
Renly raised his voice and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I'll remember to visit next time.".”
“Twice, you owe me two visits." Paul raised his right hand, made a "2" gesture, and declared loudly.
“The crew of "Transcendence" quickly returned to filming. Renly's performance was not affected too much, and the performance was still easy to come by. Tony, on the other hand, still asked a lot. He was very satisfied with Renly's performance and kept capturing it. Shots from different angles, trying to arrange and combine more lens languages in my mind. The shooting process has always been smooth, but the progress has never been fast..
Fortunately, Renly and Tony were not in a hurry. They calmed down and polished slowly..
The shooting of the day ended on time at six o'clock in the evening. Renly and Paul had a meal together, and then sat in the Pioneer Village for two hours, chatting for a long time. Before ten o'clock in the evening, the two of them left the bar. After all, Lan The film is still being filmed. As actors, they have received a lot, but they must also pay a lot. Just thinking about getting something for nothing will not last long in any industry, and the same is true for Hollywood..
