The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1936

[One thousand nine hundred and one anxious]

Renly has many friends in the industry, but not many. To be honest, he looks like a gentleman but is stubborn. He has a clear awareness of his bottom line, and it is often easy to offend people inadvertently, especially when he is used to socializing. , in the Hollywood of the habit of greeting and politeness.

There are times when even Paul knows how to compromise, but not Renly.

Everyone knows that it is easy to break through, and Renly obviously understands that, but he still has no idea of changing, which is also an important reason why Renly has repeatedly got himself into trouble; It hasn’t gotten better, it’s better to stick to yourself like Renly, at least to be able to live happily.

Paul likes to communicate with Renly very much. He is not aggressive or condescending, but he can always find new inspiration in the spring breeze.

Looking back on it now, Paul can understand Renly’s advice to let him enjoy the process of filming “Fast & Furious 7,” which was indeed a rare shoot and one that he should be fully committed to.

“Understood.” Paul’s thoughts gradually became clearer, and the whole person relaxed, “I have a real sense of rebirth now, and I can finally enjoy life. Maybe, I should divert my attention a little bit, you know. , I guess everyone can’t condemn my decision.”

“You should think like this: Even if you condemn, I will still live my life, and I don’t need to care about other people’s opinions and opinions, because I have determined myself. Therefore, those who have opinions, please step aside, thank you.” Renly corrected Paul’s thoughts, politely humble, serious, smiling words full of sharpness, and released them all without concealment.

Paul was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, “I think the reporters must hate you very, very much.”

“Very well, hate is welcome. I can’t and don’t need everyone’s likes. To be honest, I even There’s no way to get my apartment keeper to like me, so why should I get those reporters to like me?” Renly shrugged, and to be honest, Paul’s laughter couldn’t be stopped with that calmness.

Standing under the spotlight, standing at the top of the pyramid, how many people can maintain this sober willpower like Renly?

hardly!

Even Paul himself, standing on the red carpet listening to those frenzied screams and shouts, would have the illusion of “the whole world likes me”; when the limelight all faded, Paul was able to calm down again , which is why he especially likes surfing and outdoor sports, it can make him feel real, not an illusion under the spotlight.

But this is not Renly.

The only time Paul remembers a special situation was the night Renly won the Tony and made the egot,

That should be the only time he felt the confusion and confusion on Renly’s body, standing on the top of the mountain with the attitude of creating a miracle to write history, and at that moment, Renly also showed the fragility of ordinary people.

Paul was very fortunate that he was not absent that night. He was still a friend of Renly. No matter what height Renly stood, they were friends.

Fate is really a wonderful thing. Back then, Paul and Renly met by chance while rock climbing in the Verdon Gorge in France, but they didn’t expect it to be the beginning of a friendship.

Also in the “Fast and Furious 5” crew, Paul and Renly became friends, but Diesel and Renly became enemies. Can this be regarded as a kind of fate?

“Premiering.” Renly’s voice came over, planning Paul’s thoughts, but he couldn’t hear clearly, so he couldn’t help making a puzzled voice, Renly continued, “Premiering, are you going to attend? I That is to say, if you are not prepared to participate, I am not surprised, there is no need to force.”

Since the car accident, Paul’s news has never been far from the entertainment news page, but he has never really publicly faced the media and audiences. Even when he officially left the hospital, even when he announced through Twitter that he would be withdrawing from the “Fast and Furious” series forever, he could only be regarded as an indirect appearance, not publicly interviewed by the media, not in any form.

The reporters were not able to occupy the moral high ground due to the special reason of the accident, and now they dare not follow Paul 24 hours a day, otherwise if another accident happens again, the bad situation of Princess Diana may become the starting point for the collapse of the uncrowned kings. is the real disaster.

This also won Paul a valuable private resting space, but it is rare to relax.

Recently, paparazzi have seldom followed Paul. On the one hand, it is to respect Paul’s health, and on the other hand, because Paul’s private life is really boring and has no value at all. Of course, the latter reason is the key , Paul came to pick up Renly today, and he was not found.

But if you attend the premiere, it will be officially open to the public, and it will also announce that Paul is ready to be bombarded by reporters again, when the spotlight gathered on Paul will start to surge again; and the premiere Follow-up focusing after the screening will also fully open the floodgates.

Absence from the premiere is the best option if Paul wants to continue enjoying an uninterrupted time, and Renly doesn’t mind that.

Paul was more relaxed than Renly imagined, “Anyway, the reshoots will start again, and sooner or later I will return to the spotlight, forget? This is part of our work and part of our life. If possible, of course I’d love to stay away from all the hustle and bustle and at the same time sit back and enjoy what I have, but we all know that there is no such perfect thing in the world.” I hope to enjoy the media’s pursuit but reject the media’s interference, so that Perfect things are impossible. “There are gains and losses. We need to learn to accept. Or, to resist.”

Paul didn’t know how to resist before, but now he is different.

Renly nodded with a chuckle, applauding Paul’s idea.

“So, if you don’t mind that my appearance might blur the focus of the movie premiere, then yes, I’m ready to step back into the limelight; moreover, if something unexpected happens, I can at least Believe you, all the mess will be pushed to you, how, my plan is good, right?” Paul tried to show his cunning, but obviously it didn’t work, that “scheme” didn’t sound threatening at all.

Renly said calmly, “Welcome to sabotage my premiere. I’ve always thought that premieres are clichés that don’t really mean much, it needs some seasoning to motivate everyone, you’re willing to sacrifice yourself, Of course I couldn’t be more happy.”

Renly was still Renly, full of confidence and in control.

Paul asked curiously, “Is that why you came back to LA the day before the premiere? Made some condiments to make things more interesting?” Before Renly could answer, Paul remembered something. He laughed, “You know, Las Vegas even had a gamble to see if you’d be late or even miss this premiere, haha! God, I can’t believe they’re so boring now. .”

But this is Hollywood, and anything trivial can be the word for entertainment.

If thirty years or more in the future, Las Vegas even secretly takes out the bedrooms of public figures for gambling, Renly would not be surprised, because entertainment to death is what it is all about.

In the late 1980s, someone asked the editor-in-chief of The Washington Post, “If someone wanted to see a public figure naked, would you publish it? Like ‘Playboy.'”

“I don’t want it. But I will.” This is the original answer of the editor-in-chief, even when the “entertainment to death” trend in the 1980s was just beginning to emerge, the top people in the industry had already anticipated the direction of the times; even high-end For example, the “Washington Post” has to lower its stature to compete with those gossip tabloids. This is the saddest and most helpless situation of the news industry.

Now, the derailed train still has no plans to stop, and it is getting more and more crazy.

“You should bet a million dollars on the one with the better odds and let me know. We can work together to get those bookmakers messed up.” Renly didn’t get angry at all, such a trivial thing was not worth getting angry at all. .

Paul was stunned, “What if the odds are high that you’re absent?” In fact, what Paul wanted to ask was, is there no contract for the “Interstellar” crew that Renly must attend the premiere?

After the breach of contract, he can definitely ask for compensation, “Also, those bookmakers will find out about it, and they will definitely settle the account with you.”

Seeing such an honest Paul, Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, “Then it’s fine to be absent, bet. The money won can cover the compensation for breach of contract. As for the bookmakers, trust me, they are all negotiable because they know better than us the consequences of behind-the-scenes manipulation.”

“Are you serious?” Paul stammered.

“Paul, did anyone say you’re really cute?” Renly turned his head and said with a smile on his face.

Paul immediately realized that he was stupid and was being molested by Renly, he shook his head helplessly, “Renly, did someone say you really like pranks?”

“I don’t think you were the first, I I don’t think you’ll be the last.” Renly’s face was still calm, which made Paul have to raise his hand to surrender, but Renly exclaimed, “Hey, I’m not interested in the hospital!

” Paul grabbed his hands on the steering wheel again, but laughed heartily and wantonly, “Haha, I didn’t expect you to be scared.” Renly, who was

sitting next to him, showed a hint of helplessness, “Please torture those Reporters, don’t torture yourself, okay? Don’t you know those journalists all over Hollywood are waiting to be tortured?”

Why does this sound weird, Paul tilts his head, not knowing how to respond .
