715 The occasion
The entire Alice Tully Hall was packed, and not only that, the steps between the seats were also full, and there were also a bustling crowd of forty or fifty people standing at the very back, which made the scene look less like a place. The premiere of a commercial film is more like a meeting of film masters during the New York Film Festival. It has a strong academic atmosphere and fanatical fan atmosphere. It is quiet and calm, but all the enthusiasm is hidden under the skin..
After tonight's accident, the premiere started again, less noisy and more solemn, as quiet as still water. When the creative staff led by Seth and Renly appeared in front of the audience, the screening hall There was regular applause, no whistles, no shouts, the bright sound was a little depressing and heavy..
Tessa quietly looked at Renly, who had his hands behind his back. At this time, Renly had returned to his dry appearance and was no longer as embarrassed as before. However, he did not change his clothes. He was still wearing the same white shirt on the red carpet. Jeans, shirt sleeves rolled up casually to the elbows, golden brown curly hair hanging down messy, without any makeup or any dressing up, just appeared on the stage relaxed and dry.
Such Renly seemed to have stripped away his brilliance as an artist and turned into an ordinary young man again. But among the crowd, in the sea of people, Tessa could still easily find Renly's figure, and she could not take her eyes away from him. . She was shocked when she first saw Renly in Toronto. Now she seems to have regained her composure, but the longing and admiration in her heart have not weakened at all, because she has glimpsed bit by bit, hidden in that The soul under the skin.
In fact, Tessa likes Renly like this more. Clean, simple, and pure.
The speeches of Jonathan Levine and Seth Logan ended. They expressed regret and condolences for tonight's accident, and briefly introduced some of the work "Fighting Cancer" and expressed their outlook. Next, the turn It's Renly's arrival..
Renly took the microphone, but for a moment he was at a loss for words. He stood there without making a sound. This was unusual. In Tessa's memory, this was the first time that Renly was at a loss for words..
He let out a breath and said, "I just want to say that movies are very important, but in life, there are many things that are more important than movies." Renly's voice was still a little hoarse, and two hours of rest was not enough to eliminate the previous problems. The traces of that accident, "This is also what the work 'Fighting Cancer' is about. I hope this is a good movie, but I hope it is a good night. So, enjoy it."！”
A simple sentence, but it means a lot. Tessa understood it, and the smile on her lips could not help but rise slightly. She felt warm in her heart, like a meteor streaking across the sky, but her eyes were slightly warm. Renly's eyes were in her eyes. The figure became blurry, but the firm smile on the corner of Renly's mouth became clear..
The creative staff took their seats one after another. Tessa turned her head and saw a similar expression on Hope's face, as if she saw herself. For them, this night means far more than the premiere of a movie. ; The same is true for Renly. Only those who have truly experienced those complicated, complicated, and profound emotions and aftertaste, and only those who truly feel the weight of Renly's words, can understand.
Words cannot express it, but the eyes say it all.
“Phew, I'm already looking forward to the movie." Tessa breathed heavily, seeming to have completely relieved the burden and pressure on her shoulders, and whispered.
Hope nodded to confirm, "Me too." Then, they didn't communicate much anymore and turned to look at the big screen, waiting for the movie to show..
The lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, and finally fell into darkness. After some twists and turns, the premiere of "Fighting Cancer" finally got on track. When the movie started, the noise and excitement at the scene calmed down. .In the next one hundred minutes, they will enter the world of the movie and temporarily put aside all the worries and worries of the real world..
The first scene is Renly's appearance..
Wearing a navy blue hooded T-shirt, the hem reveals a dark blue T-shirt underneath, paired with a pair of black sports shorts, black Nike running shoes and white football socks, a typical American sports attire. Jogging all the way in Seattle's Harbor Park, the greenery and dense water vapor brought a bit of winter chill, and the camera followed Renly into Adam's life..
The red light at the intersection made Adam stop, even though there were no vehicles around. Then a woman strode directly across the road and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Adam looked at the long-haired woman with a confused expression. The back figure left, hesitated for a moment, and his eyes fell on the red light. After all, he still didn't dare to take a step forward..
The smile on Tessa's lips couldn't help but rise. She liked Renly's silly expression just now. Renly with such a nerdy appearance was really an unexpected surprise..
When he got home, there was no shampoo in the shower. Adam hesitated, picked up a bottle of women's shampoo on the shelf, sniffed it carefully, raised his eyebrows slightly, without any unnecessary expression, but The meaning of complaints and helplessness is clearly expressed.
After getting dressed, Adam was having a conversation with his girlfriend Rachel who was brushing her teeth before going to work. He carefully and cautiously said that he had emptied a drawer where Rachel's personal belongings could be put down. That anxious and shy expression, that flustered and... The evasive eyes clearly show the tension and urgency in the heart, and the sweetness and happiness between the eyebrows cannot be expressed in words at all..
On the way to work, Adam, who did not have a driver's license, had to be picked up and dropped off by his friend Kyle. Kyle, who was waiting impatiently, saw Adam getting in the car and raised his fist to greet him with a fist bump, but Adam wrapped his palm around Kyle. fist and responded in a friendly manner, Kyle had a look of surprise and disgust on his face; then Kyle smelled Adam's scent, and after learning that it was Rachel's shampoo, Kyle got close to Adam's hair, and With a drunken expression on his face, he breathed heavily.
Adam sat helplessly in the passenger seat, without dodging or avoiding, his eyes were dull and his expression was dull..
“Ha ha ha ha! "The laughter in the screening room finally couldn't be held back any longer and burst into laughter. The opening was just three minutes long and there was no special storyline, but the small details of the performance fleshed out the character bit by bit. Warmth, with a little bit of humor, it makes people raise the corners of their mouths. Finally, seeing the sharply contrasting expressions of Adam and Kyle, a little bit vulgar, a little bit embarrassing, finally let the laughter be completely released..
“"I'm Fighting Cancer" is a comedy. Tessa is convinced of this now. To be honest, Renly's comedy performance is really eye-catching and refreshing..
Private questions about the ban on minors in the cafe, formal conversations about work content on the radio station, the harmonious matching between Adam and Kyle burst out a wonderful spark effect, and the smile always hung on the corner of Tessa's mouth, It has not disappeared, and the atmosphere in the entire screening room has become relaxed and comfortable. It is not the kind of comedy that makes people laugh, but the humor that makes people smile, and the mood becomes brighter involuntarily..
However, such beauty only lasted less than ten minutes. When the doctor announced that Adam's back pain was caused by malignant tumors, Tessa stared at the big screen intently. Adam first felt ridiculous, then became dazed, and then became sluggish. Then confusion and panic, and finally confusion, and the bitter emotions began to roll on the tip of the tongue..
The smile still hangs on the corner of his mouth, and before it fades, his vision has become blurred in the warmth. It is not sadness, not pain, not despair, just bitterness and sourness, among the surging crowd, in the huge In the city, in the turbulent river of life, the confusion of losing direction in an instant.
Watching Adam sitting on the bus home, he rubbed his eyes, and then quietly looked at the flowing night scene outside the window again. There was no panic, no drastic changes, no ups and downs, just...quiet. But this quietness made Tai Sha had to take a deep breath, and the tight feeling in her chest was relieved a little..
After regaining consciousness, Adam chose to face it calmly. He told Rachel and he told Kyle. He originally had no intention of telling his parents because his father suffered from Alzheimer's disease and did not even remember his son. His mother had endured too much, but after hesitation, he told his parents frankly.
“"Me Fighting Cancer (50/50)" Tessa now finally understands the origin of the film's title.
Fifty percent chance, that's the chance of Adam surviving. As Kyle said, that's a decent chance, things could be a lot worse, fifty percent, that means at least a half chance, that's already It's very exciting. Just like those anti-cancer fighters, Adam also has a chance to defeat cancer and extend his life, and it's 50%, which doesn't sound that serious..
But involuntarily, Tessa's eyes were filled with warmth again.
Especially when she saw that after Adam's mother Diane learned the news, she hurriedly hid in the kitchen like a headless fly, trying to make a cup of green tea for Adam, just because the "Today Show" said, " Green tea can reduce the risk of cancer by 15%.”
Adam said helplessly and distressedly, "But I already have cancer." This immediately caused Diane to collapse. She hugged Adam tightly and bit her lower lip, but she couldn't help but cry from her lips. Lightly overflowing from between the petals.
Tessa's eyes were moistened silently. Fifty percent chance? Is this really a positive ratio? In the face of life, can the probability represented by numbers really fight against fate?？
Following the introduction from the hospital, Adam went to see psychiatrist Catherine McKay. However, after knocking on the door and entering, he saw a young girl who looked like a college student sitting on the sofa and eating a sandwich - her mouth was wide open and her appearance was not so beautiful..
