“"Transcendence" is finished, and Renly feels a little empty.
Every time before filming was completed, it was always painful for Renly, as if he had returned from a dream to reality. When he finished filming "Crazy Love", he was seriously ill, and it felt like Just like a cold, the condition itself is not too serious. After the runny nose, head, fever, cough, and fever are all cured, the body is still extremely heavy and the mind is dizzy, as if the tiredness and soreness hidden in the muscles and blood are gone. Only by taking it out bit by bit can you truly heal..
But this time it was different. I felt a sense of exhaustion, but that was all. I felt empty inside, as if I had studied hard throughout the semester and been looking forward to the summer vacation, but when the summer vacation actually arrived, I left my friends. , left school, left the heavy schoolwork, suddenly became free, but felt a little uncomfortable. It was not sad, not painful, nor reluctant, but I was sure that it was inevitable to feel a little disappointed when saying goodbye..
Looking back on the past nearly two months, I followed a fixed schedule every day, meticulously writing the script, preparing for the performance, and getting into the state. Over time, this has become a part of life. Every day is hard work, but also fulfilling. and the previous experience of living in the Bronx. It was an extremely difficult time, like walking on a tightrope, but it was an extremely precious day. It not only became a part of Henry Bart, but also became him. part of.
It was finished all of a sudden, and Renly could not help but feel a little disappointed as he stood there..
The children, led by Sammy and Betty, rushed up one after another to take pictures, sign autographs, and hug Renly. Except for Sammy, the other children may never appear on the movie screen. This is them. The only screen experience in their lives and the only special summer vacation, they all hope to leave memories.
However, it is unclear whether this hot summer can change the trajectory of their lives..
Afterwards, even many staff members came together and took photos with Renly, trying to record this difficult, painful and happy shooting experience. No one knows what "Transcendence" will achieve after its release. No one even knew whether "Transcendence" could be successfully released, but they knew that this filming experience had become a part of their lives..
After the crew was disbanded, Renly did not leave immediately. Instead, he slowly walked and strolled along the streets of the Bronx, feeling the chaos and decadence of this dilapidated area; and then recalling the group at Mount Sinai Hospital. Children, even if they are sentenced to death, are still working tirelessly to survive, like indomitable weeds..
Life is fair, everyone is facing their own difficulties and torture, and everyone is choosing their own way of coping, so they move towards their own ending, step by step, and every step on the road is taken by themselves. The ending is your own choice. You don’t seek light, but you seek a clear conscience..
The residents of the Bronx are like this, the children at Mount Sinai Hospital are like this, and Renly is like this. Renly closed his palms, feeling the pressure of his fingertips on his palms, feeling more determined than ever..
I left the Bronx and took the subway back to Manhattan. I walked through the strange yet familiar steel forest, trying to find my own apartment. As a result, I forgot the name of the street again. To be honest, it took almost a year to move to the new apartment. Years have passed, but he has lived there for less than three months. It seems that he is not as familiar as a hotel..
Renly regretted a little. If he had known better, he would have asked Nathan to send him back. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number..
“You should know that we cannot fully believe the client's words. If he lies, it will make us very passive in court. This is also the purpose of our own investigation. The so-called investigation is not for you to simply repeat Read the client’s words！”
Charlotte Kelly lowered her head, not daring to raise her head at all. She crossed her hands nervously and held them awkwardly. Even her toes hidden in high heels and wrapped in stockings were curled up. Get up. The cold and stiff voice came to her ears. There was no obvious anger or responsibility, but the indifference hidden between the lines carried a sharp and thunderous force. She didn't even have the courage to raise her head and look directly at the other person..
Matthew Dunlop is usually polite and distant, with an iceberg temperament that prevents strangers from entering, but is not aggressive at all. Although the employees in the law firm are a little in awe of him, they are not afraid of him. On the contrary, they are not afraid of him. The female female staff all liked him quite a lot and discussed his every move in secret..
Charlotte is no exception.
However, Charlotte didn't expect that Matthew was completely meticulous at work. He was not only rigorous, but also serious, and could even be said to be harsh. His calm words were filled with violent and violent words, which made people feel that he was... Incomparably small, I can only tremble, and even the courage to resist has disappeared..
Charlotte felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't even feel that there were other people in the office. The whole space was silent and dead. She couldn't feel the end at all..
The door of the office was pushed open, and a figure cautiously stepped in. Matthew's words stopped abruptly, but the cold low air pressure not only did not ease, but instead poured down like a dark cloud, taking the person at the door with it. They all became frightened, but they still said bravely, "Matthew, the intercom number.”
Matthew still didn't speak. The other party gritted his teeth and finished the complete sentence, "It's Mr. Hall.".”
Silence, still silence. Just when the assistant at the door was almost ready to give up, he heard Matthew's voice coming from a cold voice, "Come in.".”
“Okay." The assistant withdrew. Charlotte only felt that her neck was extremely sore, and even her shoulders were stiff. She was about to lose consciousness, but she did not dare to move, lest the slightest movement would cause her to lose consciousness. Matthew, the calm volcano, completely erupted.
Matthew picked up the phone on the conference table, pulled the phone cord, walked to the glass wall, and said, "This is Matthew Dunlop.".”
“Hey, Charles." The familiar voice from the other end of the phone made Matthew's mouth twitch slightly, "Um, do you remember which street my home is on? I'm a little unsure now.”
Matthew closed his eyes and calmly adjusted his breathing, "I'll send the address to your mobile phone. Your work is over today.？”
“Yes, it just ended. After staying in the Bronx for a long time, it felt really strange to suddenly return to Manhattan. I felt a little unfamiliar with this city. Although I have also been to the slums of Rio de Janeiro, that was another one. Country, another land. Now I am in New York, but I seem to be in two completely different worlds. This feeling is really strange. So, I think I am a little lost..”
Matthew laughed dumbly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Are you sure it's not because you have no sense of direction?" After complaining, Matthew realized the meeting going on behind him, "You need me to call a taxi for you. Can you take a taxi? I can tell him the address in advance and take you back directly..”
“No, no need. I plan to walk back. I came out of the subway station. If I remember correctly, there are only three streets, right?？”
Matthew was about to say: The premise is that you choose the right direction, otherwise, if you go in the opposite direction, you might go directly to the Statue of Liberty. But Renly said "goodbye" nonchalantly and then hung up the phone. This made Matthew chuckle again. He stood up and put the receiver back. He stood there and thought about it carefully. Then he turned around and found that everyone in the conference room looked away uncomfortably, including Charlotte..
Charlotte lowered her head heavily and hurriedly hid her eyes. The astonishment, surprise, and shock could not be concealed. The sudden ups and downs made her more and more panicked. She secretly prayed in her heart that Matthew did not notice anything unusual about herself..
In comparison, Matthew, who was the center of attention, was calm and collected. He glanced around the conference room calmly, then returned to the front of the conference table, sat down again, and as if nothing happened, he lowered his head and took out the After switching the phone to silent, quickly editing the address and sending it, he spoke again, "We must restart the investigation and then communicate with the customer."……”
The meeting ended faster than expected. After watching Matthew leave the conference room, Charlotte finally relaxed and her tight shoulders relaxed. The colleagues next to her came up and patted Charlotte's shoulders to express comfort. Charlotte cheered up and shook her head. She knew that this was all her fault. Matthew's blame was justified. Mistakes of this level were the tuition fees that rookies had to pay. Fortunately, Matthew was at least willing to teach her.
“That phone call just now was really timely, otherwise I would have felt suffocated." Someone whispered next to her, and Charlotte couldn't help but be stunned, and then fell into her own thoughts..
Matthew moved his lunch time thirty minutes earlier. After all, he was still a little worried about Renly..
Renly is very smart, there is no doubt about it, but his living ability is terrible. The refrigerator never knows how to fill, the clothes are never washed on time, and the groceries are never sorted out on time. Matthew believes that Renly is very likely to be found. Go home, and then stay at a roadside coffee shop, or find a supermarket, sit on the floor, read a book, and forget the time without realizing it..
This is not Matthew’s random guess, it has happened before, and more than once.
He still remembers the first time Edith Hall called him, that polite and cold voice, asking about Renly's whereabouts. The Hall family was calm, and no one was worried about Renly's whereabouts. If it weren't for Yi Dis, probably no one even noticed Renly's disappearance. Finally, Matthew found Renly in the cereal section of a Tesco supermarket. At that time, Renly was reading "Metamorphosis" and relishing it..
Returning to Renly's apartment, he found the key from the door lintel, opened the sliding door, and saw the canvas shoes scattered randomly on the ground. Matthew knew that the guy had finally found his way back. Could it be because Manhattan Island is relatively small? for the sake of？
