The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1942
[1907 Blurred focus]
Paul Walker was a little nervous. Although he knew that everything in front of him was a familiar routine, he made another appearance after staying away from the spotlight for half a year, especially after experiencing a near-death accident at the beginning of the year, facing the media and the public again. That kind of mixed psychology is really indescribable.
Taking a deep breath, Paul left the carriage and stood on the red carpet with his feet on the red carpet. The noise was mixed with the lights like a rolling heat wave. The dull air that had been stagnant for the whole afternoon was about to freeze, making people feel Breathless, Paul felt the urge to turn and run.
Then Paul saw Renly.
Although I had seen Renly’s outfit before departure, but at this time, when I saw Renly standing on the red carpet in a serious but unrestrained manner, the sense of absurdity became more and more vivid, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise. up.
It was just such a pause, and the sedan with the door closed sped away.
“Huh?” Paul turned around and was about to greet the car, trying to make it stop. He hadn’t made a decision yet, whether to stay or run away. Why was he suddenly cut off?
Paul expressed stunned, is it too late to call it back now?
Slowly, Paul turned around and cast a bewildered look at Renly, but then he saw the half-smiling light flickering from the corner of Renly’s mouth—could it be that Renly was playing tricks behind his back? ?
This is very, very possible. Paul shook his head helplessly and amusedly, but his smile couldn’t help but rise. Finally, he looked back at the car that had gradually lost sight of its shadow. Paul was still facing Renly’s position. Step forward.
After a beat, the reporters in the audience finally realized that a heavyweight was on the scene-
although Paul was far from being on a par with Renly in terms of popularity and status; but in the recent half-year, it was an accident and then withdrew from “speed”. With the “Passion/Passion” series, all this has made Paul’s discussion value soar, and he is definitely the hottest figure in recent times.
There are too many questions that reporters want to contain and interview Paul. Is it possible to finally ask a hearty one today?
The action is faster than the idea – the major reporters have already practiced a stunt: no matter what, press the shutter first, and think about other things later, so the silver flash is like a waterfall in paradise, and the roaring roar The sound instantly drowned out the entire Chinese/Chinese Theater, vividly interpreting the light “enough to brighten the blind”, making all the audience briefly fall into a snow blindness.
Paul has never faced such a scene, even the premiere of the “Fast and the Furious” series can’t be compared at all, the momentum of the stormy sea almost made Paul a little unsteady, and every cell in his body was sharpening. called “back”,
The scene is really horrific.
After a slight pause, Paul needed to get used to the sting of his eyes.
In just half a year, he has almost forgotten the power of the flash at the premiere, and today’s silver waterfall is more ferocious than any premiere in memory, and all the silver halos poured into his pupils unreasonably. So much so that now the entire field of vision has turned black, leaving only countless silver light spots flickering in the black that can’t be seen.
Immediately afterwards, Paul heard Renly’s gloating voice ringing in his ears, “I thought you were ready.”
Although he didn’t see Renly’s expression, Paul could imagine the corner of Renly’s mouth from his voice. , which made him spread his hands speechlessly, “Shouldn’t you come over to help?” Then, Paul could feel Renly coming to his side, and his tall body squeezed the space brought by the air. Paul’s irritable mood calmed down a little, “I thought I was ready, but who knew that the reporters on the scene were going crazy today?”
Paul also made a rare rant, and then added, “How can I Never knew they were so interested in me?” Not a complaint, but the fact that at the “Fast and the Furious” premieres, journalists’ guns were always aimed at Vin Diesel Err, or even Michelle Rodriguez, but not Paul Walker.
Because Paul’s wife is really low-key, he doesn’t have any explosive points at all, and even “boring” is not an exaggeration. Whether it is an interview or a conversation, Paul, who is a “good boy”, is difficult to attract reporters. Enthusiasm, whether you know how to hype or have distinctive features, whether you are good at talking or being taciturn, are all magic weapons to awaken the attention of reporters.
“You know, if they don’t show a little bit of concern, netizens might curse them for being cold-blooded,” Renly teased lightly.
Originally a sad and sensitive topic – attracting attention because of a near-death accident, this is not a recommended way to “hype”; but Renly interprets it from such a perspective, with a mockery of entertainment to death , Paul immediately caught the banter and laughed happily.
“I think the reporters should be pissed off by you,” Paul said briskly, “I mean it.”
“Well, in my opinion, actors and reporters are Tom and Jerry’s relationship—the cat and the Mouse, the only difference is, are you going to play cat or mouse?” Renly said meaningfully.
Paul couldn’t help being stunned for a while, then he stood on the red carpet and started to think seriously.
His vision gradually returned to normal, and he finally got used to the flash attack again. Then Paul followed Renly on the red carpet. Although Renly arrived early, in fact, the two talents have officially appeared in China/China for the first time. On the red carpet high stage built at the entrance of the theater, the reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter as if irrational, and the sound of clack clack was like a storm, sweeping the entire Hollywood.
But Paul was still immersed in his own thoughts, just subconsciously following behind Renly, stepping forward step by step, so that when the two stopped in the reporter interview area, they faced the maddening of the reporters. After the bombing, Paul became the one who asked the question, “If you have a choice, would you like to be Tom or Jerry?
”
Renly, who was standing next to him, laughed cheerfully, but Renly had no plans to help the reporters. Although all the reporters turned their attention to Renly for help, Renly still had a smile on his face. Sitting on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, he took a small step back and gave all the focus to Paul, as if the protagonist today should be Paul.
Paul also noticed the direction of the reporters’ eyes, and turned his head to look helplessly at Renly – is this the second or third time since arriving at the premiere today?
That sense of helplessness really lingers, but it adds a touch of absurdity and makes Paul’s nervousness completely relieved.
“Paul, what’s the point of the question just now? Are you implying that your relationship with Vin Diesel is Tom and Jerry?”
Naturally, the reporters would not answer honestly, but instead asked questions, and at the same time, they showed their associative power again – can this all be associated with Diesel?
Is this a hard connection?
Sure enough, the reporters’ ability to read pictures and tell stories is admirable and worthy of the name.
Paul is not Renly, he has no way to fight back, in fact, he is basically the honest type who asks what to answer, “No no no, Fan and I are friends, we have known each other for more than ten years, I don’t think we are the same. It’s Jerry and Tom’s relationship.” The
good question became boring in Paul’s answer.
The reporters could only look at each other, is the familiar Paul back?
“Then why did you ask that question?” The best way to interview Paul is to hit the ball straight and not need to beat around the bush.
“Renly just mentioned cats and mice to me.” Paul glanced at Renly, as if asking for Renly’s opinion, and found that Renly didn’t care, so he said honestly, “He said that the actors and reporters The
relationship seems to be like this.”
This… The
reporters at the scene immediately blushed, so who is Tom and who is Jerry?
After the audience’s eyes fell on Renly, they took it back one by one. Such a question was obviously for Renly to make fun of himself, so they shouldn’t bump into it so stupidly.
So, all eyes returned to Paul, about the recovery of the body, about “Fast and Furious”, about the performance plan, about the accident experience… All the questions swept toward Paul like a storm. In the end, Paul also gave the real answer conscientiously, but seeing the reporters getting more and more excessive.
“Regarding the accident investigation, there is now evidence that it is all your fault, is this true?”
“Someone accused you of speeding, which resulted in one death and one injury. How do you feel?”
“You opted out” Is Fast and the Furious due to PTSD?”
“Have you seen Roger Rodas’ family after the accident? How did you communicate?”
“Do you think it was you who killed Roger?”
One sharp question after another rushed into his face, UU reading www.
sonicmtl.com Paul was about to get overwhelmed, and then he heard a throat-clearing cough in his ear, interrupting Paul’s answer, and then all eyes were drawn to the corner of Renly’s mouth. Still wearing a shallow smile, “Why don’t I know, now I also need a lawyer’s qualification certificate to become a reporter?” The
reporters’ questions stopped for a while.
“If you knew that Paul was suffering from PTSD and asked these questions, what answer do you expect to get? Regarding the ins and outs of the accident, I believe the official has given the answer, and will they be held legally responsible? Naturally There will also be official announcements. As for other questions, Paul has no obligation or responsibility to answer you. You should know that enough is enough.”
In a light-hearted sentence, with a strong sense of banter and sarcasm, he dismissed all the attacks of the reporters present with contempt. It was unreasonable to stop back.
So what are journalists going to do?
