084 brazen
When I returned to the apartment, the sunset had already set in the west. The sunshine in New York was particularly bright today. The bright red halo spread all over the sky. Even the Hudson River was dyed a light golden color, magnificent. And magnificent. Many people on the street stopped and took out their mobile phones to capture this wonderful moment..
Pushing open the apartment door, bright light falls into every corner of the hall, making it so dazzling that people can't even open their eyes..
The floor was piled with balloons of various colors, and there were two large packages of uninflated balloons and a pump piled on the table. There were a lot of colorful ribbons and lights piled on the sofa, which looked like all the Christmas decorations. They were all turned out; there was a big box on the right side of the door, which was all filled with disposable cups, disposable plates and the like..
The atmosphere of party permeates every corner.
“Renly? Chris' cheerful voice came from the room, "Renly!" I'm...looking for the right outfit! I'm holding a costume party tonight. How about you join me? "Although Chris stayed in the room, it did not affect his good mood at all. His loud voice clearly conveyed the cheerful mood, and the sunlight in the room seemed to dance with his words, "Tell me, you Be sure to participate! You prepare your clothes now！”
As he spoke, Chris rushed out of the room, holding a hollow leather vest in his left hand and a police uniform in his right hand. "What do you think? Is it a little devil? Or is the uniform a temptation?"？”
Chris was wearing a pair of loose shorts, with his upper body bare, and his long golden hair was tied into a ponytail. He held the clothes high in the air with both hands. Although he did not smile deliberately, his eyes flashed with excitement. Shining brightly in the sunset.
“Little devil." Renly raised his right hand and said with a smile...
Chris's eyes suddenly lit up, "I thought so too. What do you think? What are you going to dress up as tonight? You always have endless new ideas. You were not in New York for Halloween last year, and the parties here were much inferior..”
“Why do you suddenly want to have a party? "Renly didn't answer the question. He walked to the sofa set in the center of the living room, sat down on the single seat next to it, and asked.
Chris's expression paused, and his eyes couldn't help but dodge, "Oh, it's okay... It's just that I suddenly feel like having a good time." He lowered his hands in embarrassment and tried to pretend to be relaxed, "You I know, I have been quite busy and tense recently. I really haven’t enjoyed a party for a long time..”
“Indeed, we need to relax." Renly chuckled, which made Chris relax a little, and nodded in agreement. However, Renly continued, "Just in time, I have some good news today. It's a good idea to hold a party to celebrate. I have received a new project. If nothing else happens, I will start shooting next week..”
Without any pause, Renly dropped the good news. Chris's facial expression twisted almost uncontrollably, and he felt guilty in his heart - Renly received a new work? What work? Is it a big production? Does the work have anything to do with Paramount? what is going on？
But before Chris could figure out an idea, Renly continued, "I heard in the guild that you have also received a new work.？“
Caught off guard, Chris took a small half-step back unsteadily, "Uh, oh, yes, yes." Chris nodded subconsciously and gave an affirmative reply. He raised his head and glanced at Renly, But he saw those bright eyes, which were unfathomable, as if he could see into his true inner thoughts. This made him lower his eyes in panic, and wanted to turn around and run away, but his feet were firmly nailed to the spot..
”Congratulations! "Renly smiled broadly and expressed his sincere congratulations..
Renly didn't know, he wouldn't know, and couldn't know. Chris tried to convince himself to regain his composure and avoid leaking the truth. But it was obviously not an easy task, "Thank you. Congratulations to you too, You finally confirmed your next work, right? What about it?？”
“An independent film." Renly said simply, "But I think it's a good acting opportunity. If it were you, you wouldn't be interested, right? Or maybe your agent doesn’t want you to take on such a project? "Renly said half-jokingly, his brisk words traveling through the sunlight..
Obviously Renly's words were perfectly normal, but Chris always felt that there was something in Renly's words. The sense of cat and mouse chasing made him restless. He didn't like this feeling..
Should he stay and find out about Renly's new work? Or should he go back to his room to avoid the danger of being exposed? Chris forced out a smile, but it was uglier than crying. He looked back at the door of his room. , and looked at the door in front of the hall, but there was no focus in his chaotic vision, and he couldn't sort out a single thought in his brain. He was just simply anxious, extremely anxious..
”……Chris? "Renly's voice came from far and near, and suddenly exploded in his ears like spring thunder. Chris raised his head reflexively and looked at Renly, "Ah？“
”I mean, what kind of work is it this time? "Renly sat calmly on the sofa, nestled in the sofa contentedly, his whole body seemed very relaxed, "Didn't you cooperate with Sean Bean last time? Are you going to work with a top actor again this time?？”
Such a common question, Chris would have talked about it endlessly in the past, but today, he always felt that Renly's eyes seemed to be able to see through all his disguises and see through the secrets deep in his heart. This feeling was really real. Too bad, it was as if he was being pushed into a corner step by step, and he had no way to escape from this embarrassing predicament..
“……’Thor'." Chris tried to straighten himself up and answer honestly, but in the end he didn't have enough confidence. The word "Thor" was slurred and almost disappeared in his throat. It was really frustrating..
Chris clenched his fists and secretly told himself: You got the role based on your strength, no opportunism, absolute strength! Renly did not pay enough attention to "Thor" at first, and now he must be jealous that he has received this role. This will become the intersection of their two careers. He will continue to climb the peak of his career, while Renly can only Struggling in the small circle of independent films. So now Renly regrets and envies it, but it’s too late.
Anyway, Renly will know sooner or later, so it’s better for him to tell him. Renly’s surprised and envious expression appeared in his mind, which made Chris calm down a little, "'Thor', I will play Thor, and this time I will play the role of Thor." Collaboration with Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins." Both of them are Oscar statuette winners, and their weight is definitely sufficient..
“oh? What a rare opportunity." Renly's voice shouted with a slight smile, "Not long ago, I also got an invitation to audition for 'Thor'. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Renly chuckled, " Hollywood is such a clique, isn't it?？”
he knows.
Chris could see the condescending look and scrutiny in Renly's eyes, as if he was choosing a place to be. The disdain and contempt were constantly mocking his complacency. Chris was sure that Renly already knew The truth is, he got the chance to audition after taking Renly's script, but now Renly is like a judge, sitting there aloof, judging his behavior from the moral high ground..
In an instant, the feeling of humiliation reached its extreme, and a wave of anger spread uncontrollably..
Why, why did Renly act like he was superior to others, why did he have to compromise in front of Renly, why did Renly show such an aloof attitude, why did he have to be humble? , he is the one who should be energetic and arrogant, isn't he? This is Hollywood. In order to succeed in Hollywood, Renly made a choice and he also made a choice. So why does Renly still act like a victim now?？
Ridiculous, how ridiculous.
“Haha." Chris puffed up his chest, raised his chin slightly, and a sarcastic smile couldn't help but overflowed from his mouth. With his height advantage, he stood on the commanding heights and looked at Renly who was sitting on the sofa, "Yes. , I got the role, but you didn’t. So, do you regret it now?？”
Chris's reaction surprised Renly. His eyes narrowed slightly. He had never seen Chris like this before..
“Did you know? What's even more ironic is that you threw aside the script of 'Thor', but it became an opportunity for me to audition, and I won the role in one fell swoop." Chris' eyes flashed with a crazy look, and his handsome face began to change. I have to twist it, "The opportunity you didn't cherish has made me successful. Now you regret it?" Are you envious? Are you jealous? How ridiculous.”
Renly didn't speak. He seemed to be seeing Chris for the first time. He was strange and alienated. There was a trace of consideration in his calm expression. Maybe they had never really known each other..
Renly's calm eyes stung Chris, which seemed to be mixed with pity and sigh. That kind of chilling sympathy was like a heavy punch to his stomach, which made him jump. He stood up and roared like a wounded lion, "Don't give me that look! You didn't pay enough attention to it at first! After I took the script, you didn't notice it at all, did you? It means you don't care at all! I just It's just waste! You are the loser! Don't judge me like a saint, you are not a judge, and I am not a criminal! I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't owe you anything, remember? You gave up, you gave up on your own！”
It's so shameless. It turns out that a thief can be so righteous, it turns out that a shameless person can be so upright, and it turns out that values can be so twisted and entangled..
Renly smiled instead of being angry. He adjusted his sitting posture and sat up straight. His upper body leaned forward slightly and he stared at Chris intently. The two of them collided tit-for-tat as if they were kings meeting each other. Renly spoke every word. He suddenly said, "You can ask me directly.”
