The Greatest Showman - Chapter 222

[221 Tacit understanding cultivation]

Renly’s speech rhythm couldn’t help but pause for a moment, carefully looking at Jennifer in front of him, the corner of his mouth raised because of the unexpected question, “Do you want to know my answer, or Jacob’s answer?” The

question said After the exit, Jennifer also realized her recklessness, her cheeks were slightly hot, but she concealed it well and did not reveal her emotions, but Renly’s answer made her more flustered, she bit her lower lip, shy The embarrassment and embarrassment were still exposed, and then she saw Ren Li laughing softly, the laughter like hot spring water gurgling in her chest, but her down eyes couldn’t hide the tenderness in her eyes. The joking, as if the autumn sunshine stopped at the end of Naying Ting’s eyebrows. Jennifer

rolled her eyes helplessly, didn’t hide her embarrassment, spread her hands, said with a self-defeating expression, “Well, I know, I shouldn’t ask this question. I told you already, mine The flirting skills are terrible.”

“Hehe.” Laughter overflowed from Renly’s throat, and Jennifer raised her hands in a gesture of surrender before switching the subject freely, “What do you think, Ya Did Kob love Sam?”

Renly put away his smile, and his eyes fell on Jennifer again.

To be honest, Jennifer is not a typical beauty, she still has some baby fat, and her facial features are not the type that makes people shine, but have a simple taste. At this time, a simple plaid shirt and jeans are matched It highlights the approachability of the girl next door; but Jennifer’s eyes are very distinctive, and there are countless complicated emotions hidden in the deep pupils, which is also the source of her performance. Able to tell countless stories, the perseverance and stubbornness between the eyebrows have a maturity that does not match the age.

She was even a year younger than Renly.

“No, he never loved Sam.” Renly knew it was cruel, but it was the truth. “All he needed was the company of someone.”

In Renly’s view, Jacob felt powerless and alone after returning from London, especially since Anna had moved on, made new friends, and re-started her career. Her life had been turned upside down. Variety. But in Los Angeles, his life was standing still. He missed Anna bitterly because he couldn’t hold back his thoughts, so he flew to London. His world was deserted and stagnant. ‘s career, but also always absent-minded, just want to divert his attention.

After returning to Los Angeles again, the two chose to break up. Jacob and Anna both agreed to break up, and they were calm, but they still loved each other deeply. Breaking up is like digging a big hole deep inside that simply cannot be filled.

That’s when Sam showed up. The right time, the right place, even if not the right person, but Jacob stretched out his arms and embraced this warmth.

“So, he’s a bastard.” Jennifer said decisively, with a sharp tone in her firm tone. Only in such a moment can you see Jennifer’s nineteen-year-old youthful spirit.

Renly laughed dumbly and nodded lightly, “Yes, he’s an asshole.”

For Sam, Jacob was indeed an asshole, but this is love: knowing that the other person is an asshole, knowing that There will be no end to the love, knowing that the two parties are not suitable for each other, knowing that it is you who will be hurt in the end, and knowing that it is wrong to do so, but still can’t hold back, moths to the flames vigorously, even if the end is broken.

Between Jacob and Anna, isn’t that the case?

Renly’s affirmative tone made Jennifer’s anger settle down, and she also understood the helplessness and sadness behind this sentence. Everyone knows, but love is quite unreasonable.

“Why on earth do you think Sam fell in love with Jacob?” This time, it was Renly who asked the question, “I mean, other than Jacob being a jerk, he wasn’t an attractive person. Strong man, isn’t it?”

Sam has always been aware of Anna’s existence, as well as the past and present between Jacob and Anna, but she has never let go and just stays by Jacob’s side unswervingly. Perhaps, deep in Sam’s heart, she also hopes that her waiting and persistence will eventually usher in her own love.

However, from the beginning of the story, Jacob is not the type of woman who is popular. What’s more, when Sam met Jacob, it was when he was the most down, sad, confused, and decadent.

Jennifer only realized the problem at this time and fell into deep thought.

For directors and screenwriters, they don’t give too much setting and extension to the characters, and all the work needs to be done by the actors. In the script of “Crazy in Love”, it did not describe how Jacob and Sam met, nor how the two decided to live together. As soon as they came up, the two had already entered their daily life. This kind of The time-fractured shooting technique, all gaps had to be filled by actors.

This is also the meaning of today’s meeting. The actors must communicate and communicate, and piece together all the pieces one by one. Especially between Jacob and Sam, Anna and Simon, because the main writing of the film focuses on Jacob and Anna, their stories are relatively complete, but the two branches are not so The treatment is just a few scenes, but it plays a vital role in the sublimation of the whole story theme.

It’s worth mentioning, perhaps because the script was written by Drake. Therefore, his writing on Jacob and Sam is obviously more vivid and specific; but the plot between Anna and Simon is lackluster, which does not leave any room for Charlie Bray, so that many viewers end the movie. After that, only the impression of “three leading actors” was left.

Actually, that’s a pity, and if Charlie and Felicity could fill that void, the whole story would be more complete.

So, what exactly did Sam fall in love with Jacob?

“Maybe, men who are decadent and vicissitudes of life always have a special attraction, don’t they? Especially the kind of men with broken hearts.” Jennifer joked jokingly, “Isn’t there any women in bars who will specifically look for such men? ?”

“It’s an interesting setting.” Renly did not criticize or comment, but the slightly raised eyebrows showed disapproval: Sam is not such a type of girl. At least he thought not.

Jennifer read this emotion between Renly’s eyebrows, and she couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “I can’t draw that outline right now, at least I can’t look at it…” While speaking, Jennifer said Looking up and down at Renly in front of him, the subtext couldn’t be more obvious: Renly at this moment didn’t look like Jacob at all.

Today Renly was wearing a white crew-neck t-shirt with black shorts, a pair of graffiti Vance skate shoes under his feet, and his skateboard next to him. The simple to the extreme dress, but the youthful sunshine burst out heartily, even without any extra decoration, the clean and pure temperament is also eye-catching.

This is not Jacob.

Renly looked down at his outfit, then faced Jennifer, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and pressed his weight forward little by little, his eyes fixed on Jennifer, deep eyes. There was a hint of sadness and decadence in it, and the emotions all over the body sparsely settled down.

Jennifer leaned back reflexively. She was not used to such close contact, and she didn’t like this kind of oppressive approach. She opened her mouth and wanted to scold Renly, but when the words reached her lips, they were there. His eyes froze under the stare. The thick eyelashes rose slightly, allowing people to glimpse the confusion and confusion in the abyss. It is not clear what the feeling is, but it is just a vague shadow of negative emotions, with a little pain in the loneliness, even the reflection The sun in the depths of his eyes gradually dimmed.

Jennifer felt that Renly was very unfamiliar. They were not very familiar with them, but now Renly was even more unfamiliar. It was so unfamiliar that people couldn’t recognize it, and then a low voice like a cello sounded in his ear, “So, what are you looking forward to?”

The gentle tone seemed to be blown away with a gust of wind, and the loss condensed in it made Jennifer’s heart froze. He pushed his hand hard on Renly’s shoulder. “No, nothing.” Jennifer replied sternly.

Renly obviously did not expect such a confrontation. Unprepared, he slammed into the back of the chair heavily. The dull sound made everyone else look over. Drake, who was talking to Felicity Even more blank, she said in a panic, “What’s the matter? What’s wrong?”

Jennifer also realized that she was overreacting, and scratched her head embarrassingly, “…I’m just not used to someone suddenly approaching, this…too Greasy.” Jennifer’s words made everyone stunned, she gave Renly an embarrassed smile, “Sorry…?” Apologize.

Renly reacted at this time, looking at the stunned expressions of Drake and the others, and at Jennifer’s overwhelmed expression, an inexplicable sense of joy emerged spontaneously, and a smile spread on the corners of his mouth, the more It grew bigger and bigger, and finally burst into laughter with a puff. The brisk smile spread from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, blooming freely and recklessly, and then joked to himself, “It seems that I have to start over again. Update your flirting / flirting methods, otherwise the next time you strike up a conversation in a bar and get called ‘greasy’ by the other party, that night will be completely ruined.”8
