080 mentality bias
Rodrigo looked at Ryan in front of him, wearing a suit and ties, full of energy, smiling, and his appearance was impeccable..
However, Rodrigo's mind reflected on how Renly was dressed today - for the audition, Renly's clothing was undoubtedly disrespectful. The shirt and jeans were too casual, and he looked like a ...The contractor of the transportation team. But it is precisely this casualness that successfully outlines the image of Paul Conroy. Obviously, Renly came prepared..
“I thought you would call in advance, but I didn't expect you to come to New York in person." Rodrigo put away the chaotic and trivial thoughts in his mind. Ryan was not only his first choice, but also from the moment he saw the script of "Buried Alive" The time has come. He must cheer up and seize this opportunity..
Ryan also regained his composure at this time and showed a decent smile, "Because I can't just sit in Los Angeles and wait. I need to meet you immediately, I need to talk face to face, and I need to feel your ideas." Ryan's tone seemed cheerful. And excitedly said, "God, this is such a genius script, I really like it so much! So, I plan to give you a surprise. So...tattar！”
It must be admitted that Rodrigo was a little flattered. The actor he had dreamed of expressed such positive enthusiasm. Rodrigo was so happy that he didn't know where to place his hands. "If you like it, that would be great. This It's definitely an honor." Rodrigo wiped the sweat from his palms..
Ruian raised his head and looked around. Not only did the crowd of onlookers not decrease, but they seemed to have increased. Although everyone pretended to be busy with their own affairs and did not block them, scattered eyes were still coming over, buzzing. The noise is always lingering in my ears.
“I wonder if we can find a quieter place where we can have an in-depth conversation." Ryan looked away and looked at Rodrigo with a big smile, "I still have some issues with this script and the entire project. I understand too much. I hope we can learn more through communication..”
Rodrigo could feel Ryan's condescension - Ryan didn't mean it, but that was the fact. It was Rodrigo who begged Ryan to star in "Buried Alive", and Ryan, who is now at the forefront of the second tier, was indeed condescending to participate in "Buried Alive". What's more, Ryan skipped the agent part and came directly to New York, which has given Rodrigo enough attention..
The truth was clear, but Roderigo couldn't help but think of Renly again. Renly didn't mind the noisy environment of the youth hostel, and there was no interruption in the performance; Renly didn't understand the intention of the script, but even proposed his own insights……
“It's quiet enough here. They are all very kind guys and won't come to disturb us." Rodrigo's excited emotions slowly settled down. After experiencing the excitement of the encounter, his rationality gradually returned to his body..
Rodrigo knew that Ryan's appearance meant that the possibility of cooperation increased sharply, but it still did not mean that cooperation was achieved. Ryan still needed to learn more about the situation; in turn, he believed that Ryan was the best candidate to play Paul, but that was just In his own opinion, Ryan's strength still needs to be further measured..
Rodrigo is a Spaniard and has no advantages at all in the United States. He is not a world-renowned master like Pedro Almodovar, he is just a fledgling newcomer. It is very important to him, and it is very likely to be a stepping stone to open the door to Hollywood. Therefore, he hopes more than anyone else that this work can reach the expected level and become a success..
Rodrigo took the initiative to sit down. Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then sat down where Renly had just been. Scarlett patted Ryan's chest and whispered, "I won't disturb your audition. Go out for some air and come back later.”
During the audition process, actors need to be absolutely focused. This is not a social occasion like having dinner with the producer, so Scarlett chose to avoid it temporarily, leaving Ryan free space to express himself..
Ryan smiled, patted the back of Scarlett's hand, and whispered, "It won't be long..”
“Good luck." Scarlett stood up and then showed a bright smile to Rodrigo, "Mr. Director, I won't interrupt your conversation between men. I hope everything goes well..”
Rodrigo nodded cautiously, although he touched a sensitive nerve when he said "it won't be long" to Ryan - what did this sentence mean, did he not take him seriously? Or do you think this project doesn’t need to take too long? Or maybe Ruian thinks it's a done deal? But in the face of Scarlett's smile, Rodrigo calmed down his emotions, nodded with a smile, and watched Scarlett's slim back leave the lobby..
Rodrigo's eyes fell on Ryan again, and he showed a humble and bright smile, "Ryan, which part of the script impressed you the most? If you don't mind, you can just perform it and have a look. Let's Use professional language to communicate." Rodrigo could feel Ryan's muscles stiffening slightly, but his words continued without any pause, "I know that this project is a severe test for actors. This is also the first reason why I think of you. So, what do you think of the script and the characters?？”
Ruian felt choked. Shouldn't he be the one to take the initiative? Shouldn't he be the one controlling the rhythm? Why... something seems wrong？
Scarlett left the lobby of the youth hostel. In front of the door was a small courtyard. The space was not large, even smaller than a basketball half court, but two sycamore trees were planted, and the dense shade almost covered the entire area. The entire yard is covered, and sparse sunlight shines through the mottled leaves. Various plants are planted in the brown soil. Next to it, large swaths of ivy climb up along the corners. It has just rained. The breath lingers under the nose, and the refreshing water vapor blooms in the continuous green..
At a glance, Scarlett saw the man named Renly just now. He was standing at the gate, as if standing in front of a window, looking out at another world. The casualness and slovenliness of the plaid shirt wrapped around the broad shoulders, and the shadow of the backlight You can see the outline of the profile, as calm as water, elegant and clear, but bursting with a burst of brilliance..
“Need a lighter? "Scarlett's footsteps stopped beside the man. She stood at a similar angle and looked out, trying to understand the scene that the man had just stared at. The undulating road of Amsterdam Avenue stretched quietly in her sight..
The hoarse voice is not as aged as Yan's voice, but just like the hands of a cat. The short and sharp nails are gently rubbing on the palms, with a hint of sexiness in the laziness. You don't need to turn your head to know who the person is. Carrie.
“Um? "Renly raised his voice slightly, seeming a little confused by Scarlett's opening remarks..
Scarlett pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and responded with a look of disdain, "You should know that the only reason many people hold cigarettes in their mouths is to smoke them; if you want to pretend that you have noble character, you You can choose a pipe or at least a cigar.”
Renly looked down at the cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth and laughed. This was just a little habit from his previous life..
He used to be a long-time smoker, and his regular life gave him almost no room to breathe. When he was in college, he smoked one and a half packs a day, and he couldn't quit even if he wanted to. What's more, he didn't want to quit either. Under heavy pressure, smoking is his only way to entertain himself - he doesn't play games, he doesn't participate in sports, and his ability to drink is far from good. Cigarettes are his only source of support. If he doesn't even have cigarettes, he won't be able to drink. Know how long you can hold on.
Later, he was hospitalized in a car accident. Not to mention that the hospital did not allow smoking. Even if it was allowed, he would have no way to smoke. He was forced to quit smoking involuntarily. Compared with high paralysis, the pain and torture of quitting seemed insignificant. , quitting smoking is much easier than you think.
After being reborn, he could smoke again, but he was no longer obsessed with it. It was not because he had seen too many cases of people losing their lives due to smoking in the hospital in his previous life, but because after experiencing death, nicotine has become no longer important..
Holding a cigarette in his mouth is more like a habit, a habit of thinking, a habit of recalling, a habit of the body. It can help him concentrate and help him think; he always carries a pack of cigarettes with him, but he has not done so for a long, long time. lit.
“How do you know this is not marijuana? The reason why I didn't light it was because I didn't want to be spotted by the police officer on the street corner." Renly was not angry, but laughed softly, took down the cigarette, and started again. Put it back in the cigarette case.
Scarlett's eyes fell on Renly's fingers. They were slender and vigorous, like bamboo joints, and their simple movements were like works of art. People couldn't help but stop looking. Scarlett looked at the fingers carefully. A cigarette, "So, is it marijuana?"？”
“You need a bite? "Renly not only did not deny it, but instead said smoothly. He grabbed the cigarette case with his right hand, then put his index finger on the top corner of the cigarette case and turned it gently. "I thought you need to stay awake today. You know, Ryan is auditioning. , you are his most solid support.”
“His career doesn't need..." Scarlett said smoothly, but before she finished speaking, she reacted and showed a playful smile, "I thought you were competitors, and you should be happy to hear about Ryan's failure. of.”
Renly shrugged, nodded with a smile, "Facts." He frankly admitted Scarlett's words, which caught Scarlett off guard and made her laugh. "I won't refute, because as a competitor, the one in my hand is We really don’t have many chips. It’s not easy to turn over this hand..”
“Real poker masters know how to bluff people." Scarlett's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a half-smile..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then guess, am I bluffing now or am I sure of victory?？”
