The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2097

[2061 Surprise Exploration Class]

The lush and dense forest outside the car window slowly looked out along the road, and the large tracts of natural scenery showed a completely different appearance from the city. In addition to red and azure blue, emerald green, dark green, dark green, blue green, light green, grass green, and other complex greens are criss-crossed in layers, from the roadside within reach to the horizon far away. Spreading over the past, the changeable and fresh colors are presented in front of the eyes with just a few strokes, and the language has completely lost its color.

Anyone who is familiar with Renly knows that he is very, very bad at driving vehicles. Except for Lu Chi, his control of the steering wheel and the accelerator is always unreliable. It seems that he is not born with machinery. Music and acting are divided, but that doesn’t mean Renly can’t drive, it’s just that there aren’t as many opportunities to sit behind the wheel, and he can still act as a driver when needed.

Especially out of the city limits.

In the crowded space of the city chessboard street, Renly’s driving skills are indeed worrying, and he is also self-aware and often does not sit in the driver’s seat; but in the open field of the open air, Renly’s ability is sufficient – as a The world’s most famous country on wheels, road trips in the United States are a major feature. There are the most suitable roads for beginner drivers in the world, and the difficulty level is low.

So Renly drove out of New Orleans on his own and headed north toward Cincinnati.

He needs a little respite before officially returning to Europe.

According to the plan, after “Jurassic World” is completed, he will go to Venice non-stop to start a series of work; then return to North America, arrive in Toronto to cooperate with the promotion; then he will immediately go to London.

For the next period of time, he needs to cheer up and enter a fighting state.

This was unfamiliar to Renly.

In the previous life, he had always avoided confrontation and devoted himself to the world of performance wholeheartedly. Even the related work of Sisyphus Films was only sporadically involved; Throw yourself into the battlefield from which you tried your best to escape.

More importantly, this will not be a war that can be ended in a short period of time. After all, those are his parents. He has no way to cut it cleanly and then completely banish them, and declare that things will be sealed forever— – The reason why the fetters of the original family is complicated is because of the shackles of morality and ethics, it has never been so simple.

It’s a war so long that it may never end, and he needs to pull himself together and give it his all.

Before the war can officially start, he needs to relax himself, a little time alone, a little road trip, a little free space, and he will be able to find his inner peace again, even if it’s just two days and one night.

Drive from New Orleans to Cincinnati.

At normal speed, it takes twelve hours to drive, which is definitely not an easy journey.

Fortunately, Renly wasn’t in a hurry either. He was ready to relax, so he stopped and walked, about an hour or two after driving, and then stopped for a short rest, or accidentally saw the incredible scenery. , then pull over and stop to breathe the air of nature, just like walking freely. When we finally arrived in Cincinnati, it was already late at night, approaching midnight, and the whole process took nearly seventeen hours.

Nathan helped Renly book a hotel room in advance, and Renly successfully found the hotel location—as for the place where he went around the city for a few laps, it was supposed to take 15 minutes to get there, but it took 70 minutes. There is no need to go into detail about this matter.

After taking a good bath and relaxing for a while, Renly took the initiative to drink a glass of whisky—according to his habit, he avoided drinking as much as possible, and rarely ingested alcohol on his own initiative, but tonight, during the filming and In the brief interval between shots, he allowed himself to relax.

It’s absurd to say that several weeks have passed since Philip came to New Orleans, but Renly never completely released his emotions, but suppressed all his emotions and threw himself into the filming of the film, without paying attention to the shooting. The progress made an impact, and it was only now that all the bitterness was washed away with a glass of whisky.

After a glass of whiskey was finished, Renly fell into a drowsy sleep, the fatigue of the long journey erupted, and he slept through the night without a dream.

The bright sun in Cincinnati is completely absent from the heat and heat of Cincinnati. The breeze from the Great Lakes makes the tail of summer cool, and the footsteps during the vacation also add a little comfort. A little happiness can be satisfied. , life can always find the key to happiness.

Although Nathan found out about the situation in advance, it still took Renly nearly ninety minutes to find the “Carol” shooting scene.

Renly wasn’t worried about time, what he needed to worry about was his own fuel tank – while going around, he didn’t know how the fuel tank was depleting so much, he couldn’t understand it, which forced him to Before arriving at the destination, I made a special trip to the gas station to stop.

This time I came to Cincinnati, on the one hand, for the alone time on the road trip, on the other hand, to come to the crew to visit the class.

Rooney has visited Renly’s crew many times before and after, but Renly has always been by accident and has never visited Rooney – of course, it has only been less than a year since the two have truly established their relationship, and the filming schedule is always It’s not uncommon for them to be staggered, so now that the opportunity presented itself, Renly seized it.

The crew of “Jurassic World” in New Orleans is slightly different. The “Carroll” crew chose Cincinnati, more because the local area still retains many buildings left over from the 1930s and 1940s, which have been slightly remodeled. They were able to recreate the urban and suburban scenes of New York in the 1950s.

However, both crews chose a combination of live-action and studio shooting methods to present the world image constructed by the script as realistically as possible.

It’s just that “Jurassic World” creates space for computer effects as much as possible; while “Carol” is as close to the reality of the times as possible, the entire development direction is different.

When Renly arrived at the destination according to the address, he saw the small villa in front of him.

This is a suburb located on the edge of the city, not a countryside, just like Long Island is in New York.

In Asia, the more wealthy people are, the more they gather in the city center; in the United States, the more wealthy people are, the closer they are to the edge of a good city. Apart from differences in culture, economy, and history, the most What matters is the difference in life patterns brought about by values.

The “Carol” crew perfectly restored the living environment of the New York elites in the 1950s in the suburbs of Cincinnati. Looking at the small gardens and small villas in front of them, the adjustment of those details made Cincinnati also reveal a strong New York flavor. , these small details that are difficult for the audience to notice will often become an important part of the quality of the film.

Although it is said that North America has no style in the first place, it is much easier to copy and paste the texture of different cities here compared to the very different styles in Europe, but the real insiders can still see the difference in details.” The art direction of Carroll’s crew deserves recognition.

Just like the details of an actor’s performance, those parts that cannot be seen are often the embodiment of the depth and breadth of the entire film, and excellent works can always show a profound heritage in these parts.

In other words, never ignore the strength of the behind-the-scenes team of the crew. The value of a truly top-notch team will never be inferior to that of an actor or a director.

Slowly pulling the car to the side, Renly did not rashly break into the crew, but patiently searched for the staff responsible for security maintenance around the set to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings; after finding it, he took the initiative to step forward, He greeted with a smile, “Good morning, I’m Renly, I came here to visit Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett, I want to ask…” Before Renly

finished speaking, he Seeing the stunned and bewildered look on the other’s face, the slightly open mouth seemed to be about to dislocate his jaw. Renly was worried that if he didn’t stop, there might be a massacre at the scene, so he had to Temporarily stopped talking.

“Um, do you need help?” Renly asked kindly.

Then the short black man in front of him first nodded and then shook his head. He didn’t seem to know what he was doing at all. Finally, he choked out a sentence, “…I know you! I really know you. You! You are!” But stammered a lot, but still didn’t say a reason.

“Renly,” Renly introduced himself in a friendly manner.

The little man nodded in agreement, “Yes yes yes, that’s what I said, yes yes yes, Renly. I know you, God, I really know you, I didn’t lie, and wow, you really showed up here. Cincinnati? I mean, I just saw you in the movie theater a while back on interstellar travel, and it’s kind of incredible to see you in front of me now, I know your name, of course I do.”

Lan Li spread her hands, “I guess it’s not a dream.”

“Jesus Christ!” He was about to scream, “I’ll let you know now…”

“Wait, wait!” Renly stopped in time The other side, “This is a surprise, I want to give them a surprise. You can check whether it is convenient for the crew now, I will go in and watch, and then wait for the filming to end to give them a surprise.”
