The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2101

[Two thousand and sixty-five]

“Rooney is reading the script inside…”

Cate Blanchett took Renly to the door of Rooney’s waiting room in the name of leading Renly to visit the crew, instead of going to meet the director. Obviously, from the beginning , Kate was ready to do this, and even if she didn’t get the exact answer, she already understood the purpose of Renly’s coming to Cincinnati.

This is the first time.

For the first time in Hollywood, someone can read Renly’s actions and intentions, and for the first time someone can see through Renly’s mask and disguise, those inadvertent details of movements or changes in expressions, which originally had no meaning at all. Read more answers.

Even Renly didn’t realize it, it’s really, really rare, not even Paul Walker, not even Ryan Gosling.

When he looked at Kate again, Renly’s eyes became darker. For the first time, he had a kind of apprehension and panic where the initiative was not in his hands:

surprises and surprises, there were; there was also a faint vigilance and vigilance, just like sniffing Reaching a dangerous atmosphere like a fox, he pricked up his pointed ears.

Kate seemed to have noticed the change in the temperature of Renly’s sight, but she was still calm, and slowly pulled out a cigarette case from her pocket, took out the cigarette, and handed the lighter to Renly, her eyes focused and bright at Renly cast a question. His eyes were not flustered by Renly’s warning, let alone flinched. He was calm and even took the initiative to attack, as if Renly was looking at his own reflection.

Renly took the lighter and politely lit the cigarette for Kate: the flames rose, and the red light reflected on Kate’s well-defined features, and a strand of blond hair fell down and covered her eyes, which made her vision change. It became hazy, and then the smoke spread out, making the flames hazy. The crowded and narrow corridors had a slightly suppressed and tight room effect, and the temperature began to rise quietly.

Then, Renly put out the lighter, and Kate’s blurred and lazy gaze disappeared into the depths of the fire, and the surroundings dimmed again.

“Relax,” Kate said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, holding her cigarette. “I didn’t mean to attack, I just stumbled upon an innocuous secret, and that’s all.” She could feel the alienation and warmth that burst from Renly. It was cold, and self-awareness was completed in an instant.

This is not surprising.

This is the case with the rumored Renly, who seems to be a gentleman and gentle, but is actually calm and self-controlled. The powerful aura derived from hereditary aristocracy is daunting; especially when it comes to Renly’s private life, he always doesn’t mind showing it. Show your aggression and protect yourself.

In a way, so does Kate.

This is their law of survival. In the animal world of Hollywood, everyone has their own way to live and live. Those vigilance and distrust are originally the law of survival that relies on entertainment to death, and no one can be an exception.

really.

Kate’s excuses did not convince Renly, his expression remained unmoved, and he just stared at her meaningfully, which made Kate take another puff, but turned her head as she exhaled, and politely dismissed all of her. The smoke was spit out to the side, letting the crowded and hot aura slowly surging. The brief silence made the atmosphere more tense, but the two of them stayed still, and the atmosphere that had just been harmonious was immediately visibly stiff. stand up.

In the end, it doesn’t seem to be accurate to describe Kate’s defeat. Her smile is revealed, and the smile hidden behind the curling smoke is enchanting, “I can understand that you are doing your best to protect Rooney. Is it? Or are you worried about the relationship leaking out for the sake of your career, and that’s why you’re nervous? Or do you think someone can see through your secrets and go into attack mode?”

Kate’s voice A very low, almost self-talking murmur that only Renly and she could hear.

In the blink of an eye, Kate’s smile subsided, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she said slyly, “I guess it’s the first one.” She didn’t think Renly was the kind of person who asked others to sacrifice for her for her own cause. Garbage, at least, that look at the Oscars can’t be deceiving.

“Relax,” Kate said softly, “Rooney is a good girl, she deserves a good boy’s company; and you… you are also a good boy, and you deserve a partner who will never leave. So , I’ll shut up as if nothing ever happened.”

With that, Kate blinked her right eye at Renly, took another puff, let it out, and the corners of her mouth rose again, and that’s it Turned around and left.

From start to finish, Renly hadn’t said a word, not because it couldn’t, but because it wasn’t necessary.

He knows that Kate is a smart person, just like Kate knows that his eyes and expressions mean alert, they all have their own way of survival, especially in the face of the pervasive paparazzi, they are all trying their best to protect their lives, even at the cost of Taking the initiative to attack, maybe the methods are different, but the two people are connected.

Watching Kate leave, Renly’s eyes narrowed slightly, showing a look of interest, and now he is really looking forward to working with Kate on filming, that should be very interesting, not only in The level of performance, and the level of reality outside of performance.

Turning around, Renly knocked on the door of the room, and after waiting for a while, Rooney’s familiar voice came from inside, “Come in.”

Renly then pushed open the door of the room, and he could see a normal bedroom. It is the standard room of an American middle-class family, with azurite walls, off-white floral wallpaper, brown-red desk, dark-brown wardrobe… The orderly layout can be seen in the details of the hostess’s taste; And the water pink sheets and quilt cover can make a judgment that this room should belong to an underage girl.

“Are you ready? I’ll come now.” Rooney’s eyes still stayed on the script, without looking up.

But Rooney didn’t get a response. She was a little slower for half a beat, and her thoughts were taken away from the script, and she realized that something was wrong. At this time, she raised her head, and then saw Ren Li standing in front of her, her eyes opened slightly, The widened pupils clearly wrote her surprise and astonishment.

Renly took a step forward, softly closed the door of the room, and looked around, “Eight years old?” Meaning, does this room belong to an eight-year-old girl?

Going a step further is joking Rooney: Are you eight years old?

Rooney realized it immediately, and laughed dumbly, “Six years old.” In fact, this is the room used by Carol’s daughter in the movie.

Renly deliberately put on a surprised look, “God, this suddenly made me lose all my emotions.” He had no interest in the six-year-old baby, which made Rooney laugh happily, her eyes and eyes filled with joy. The corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and the happy satisfaction overflowed like this, but Renly did not continue to joke, “You continue. There is still a little time.”

Rooney lowered her head and read the script again without being polite.

Although Renly made a special trip to visit the class, Rooney was in a very excited mood at the moment, and the whole emotion was flying, but the filming of the next scene was about to start, and she still hoped that she could complete her work with due diligence, just like Renly did. General on the crew of “Crackling Drummers”.

Renly sat down on the chair diagonally opposite spontaneously and picked up a book from the desk, even if it was a children’s book, he read it carefully.

No words, no tenderness, or even eye contact, such a visit to the class is really “unfamiliar and alienating”, which makes people do not know how to describe it; but this is not the case. The aura has become soft and warm, and even if there is no communication, they can feel the most natural state between each other and will not be disturbed by any work.

In fact, it can be seen from Rooney’s habit that the rest of the crew did not enter the room to disturb, but left enough space for Rooney to complete the preparation, which is similar to Renly reading the script. Wherever they are, they all need an environment of their own to ensure focus.

But at this time, the appearance of Renly did not break the balance of the room, and Rooney was still able to read the script with peace of mind, which was special in itself.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, this way of getting along seems strange and unfamiliar, and it should not be the expression of dating couples at all. The comfortable way of getting along, the tacit understanding without words makes each other feel at ease. The most important thing is that both of them have similar insistence on the performance and the preparation process for the performance, and explanation and accommodation become superfluous. is the best part.

Rooney adjusted her sitting position a little, she was even more relaxed than before, and Wei Wei’s attention was completely focused when she was outside. The quiet and warm atmosphere in the room made her tense and uneasy. They all calmed down slowly, it seemed that as long as Renly was around her, she would be able to settle down.

“Can I ask you a question?” Rooney frowned slightly and raised her head to ask.

“Huh?” Renly put down the children’s book in his hand and cast his eyes.

“You’ve read the script, you should know the story and the characters. So do you think I need to struggle? I mean, should I show my inner distress during the performance?”

“Carol and I You know, it was forbidden in the fifties, I had a boyfriend, and Carol had a husband and kids, and while they were getting a divorce, should I show that scruples and struggles? Wouldn’t that blur the story? The focus?”

“However, in the script, the secular obstacles are part of the unavoidable part, even the core contradictions, and it takes a lot of writing to describe, so how should I control the proportions in the performance? Do you think I need to enlarge it? Is it that emotion? Would that be superfluous?”
