The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2228

[2191 Exhausted]

The forest dance scene is indeed important, but its importance is far from being a turning point; however, Renly’s unexpected performance has endowed the scene with irreplaceable significance, and more importantly, endowed the entire story, the entire setting, the The critical weight of the entire figure is crucial.

For now, though, it’s enough to stop there.

Ogus knew he had to stop filming before things got out of hand.

“Ka!”

Ogus’ reaction speed was a little slow, but he still finished the shooting in time.

The staff who were hidden all around showed up one after another, signaling all the actors with gestures, and the performance could end.

One after another, the extras stopped performing, and Rachel and Arianne also stopped dancing—continuously dancing with high energy and high frequency, which was very exhausting, and both of them were out of breath. He was panting heavily, but immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere at the scene.

Rachel didn’t know why, so she cast her eyes in the direction of the director and assistant, but she didn’t get an answer, she just noticed their eyes – to be precise, most of the people on the scene were looking in the same direction, Rachel turned her head along the line of sight and saw Renly.

Renly dances to the music.

“What’s going on?” A question mark appeared in Rachel’s mind. In this scene, Renly didn’t need to dance, and the filming ended when the lines ended. So, what is Renly doing now?

The audience’s eyes were all focused on Ren Li, and there was an abnormal atmosphere everywhere.

Oggs’ heart contracted slightly, and he could clearly sense something was wrong: Renly’s ecstatic dancing seemed to be venting negative emotions, sweating and exhausting, but still refusing to stop, just dancing like this. , as if life were burning.

“Stop! Card! Stop! All stop! Renly! Stop!”

Oggs became more and more panic, more and more nervous, more and more urgent, shouted sharply, but still could not interrupt Renly, he couldn’t help standing up, trying to step forward, not wanting to be tripped by the chair on his ankle, staggering. He staggered forward, and the surrounding staff were also in chaos.

But Oggs couldn’t take care of himself anymore, he got rid of the people who came to help him at will, and shouted at Renly with anxiety on his face, “Stop! Renly, stop! Please, stop. Get down!” The eager voice was also stained with a painful cry, revealing the fragility of the heart.

Renly, seems to have gone crazy.

The intense dance moves, the crazy immersion, the sweat, the flushed cheeks… Renly was immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

Even though Oggs shouted, he couldn’t stop Renly.

After a short period of panic, the entire set became quiet again, silently quiet, all eyes were staring at Renly in such amazement and confusion, but no one dared to interrupt Renly, lest his rash actions might make Renly It fell apart and vanished before his eyes.

That kind of bitterness, that kind of pain, that kind of loneliness, and that kind of sadness spread in the silent forest.

Jump, jump.

It was like this until he was exhausted, and then Renly finally stopped, but his knees went weak for a while, and his whole body was shaky, unable to stand still, and he stumbled back two steps. On the muddy and bumpy ground, his center of gravity was completely unbalanced. If you want to fall directly, you will be thrown all over the place.

“Huh!”

Just as Renly was about to fall, he felt a force emerge from behind him, firmly supporting him like a crutch.

Turning his head, Renly saw Matthew’s familiar face, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, a faint light flashed in his eyes, but the whole expression became vivid, “Thank you. Thank you for saving me from the brink of disaster every time.”

In just a few words, the tears in Matthew’s eyes almost broke free. He used all his self-control to control the turbulent emotions.

It wasn’t tears, it was a smile, and what remained on the corners of Renly’s mouth and eyes was a smile.

But that heartbroken smile contained so much.

“You should learn to avoid those disasters by yourself.” Matthew suppressed his turbulent emotions and said calmly, pretending that nothing had happened.

The corners of Renly’s mouth rose high, “I hope so too. But what can I do? I don’t seem to know how to dodge by nature.” With Matthew’s strength, he stood up again, “There is still work to be done.”

“Renly?” Matthew’s voice fluctuated uncontrollably.

Renly turned his head calmly and smiled at Matthew, “The entire crew is waiting for me, and today’s filming has to be completed. You should know me, don’t you?” He turned around and walked in the direction of Ogus.

It was true that Matthew knew Renly, and he knew that Renly could not change his mind; but tonight, Matthew sincerely hoped that Renly could temporarily take a break from work.

Too bad Renly didn’t.

Renly’s footsteps stopped in front of Oggs, showing a cheerful and relaxed smile, “How about it, is the overall effect of this scene ok?”

That calm and light-hearted look, as if everything is going to be a problem. It never happened. The “Witch Comes into the World” that was just staged in front of him seemed to be just his own illusion. Those bitterness, sadness, loneliness and pain, all of them did not exist, they were just illusions.

“…” Ogus opened his mouth slightly, but he didn’t know how to answer. It seemed that his brain had stopped turning, and he just froze in place.

But Renly’s sweating and exhaustion was telling another truth: those weren’t hallucinations, it was all real, and even the lingering tiredness between his brows was reminding Ogg But what about Renly’s reaction?

“Just now…you…we…you…this…” Oggs stammered and couldn’t organize his words, and after talking for a long time, he couldn’t say a reason.

Instead, Renly understood, “Oh, the performance just now? Don’t you like it? I can readjust it if you think it’s inappropriate.”

“No…not…” Oggs didn’t know what to do either. Expressing his emotions, the turbulent emotions in his head rushed all at once, a little symptom of a brain haemorrhage, “But…why…I mean…uh…”

“Oh!” Renly nodded understandingly, ” Do you mean the reason for such a performance?” Renly explained professionally without any shyness, “Everyone is dancing throughout the scene, which is a symbol in itself, right? And David and the Lonely Leader unfold. After the conversation, he also felt the law system of the forest. In fact, it is not much different from the hotel, or in other words, it is not much different from the whole society, which made him confused, but more still at a loss, as if he His thoughts were shaken, so he, like everyone else, began to dance, as if…”

“As if he didn’t exist in this society at all.” Ogus connected the following words, the kind of The feeling of loneliness and loneliness finally found a reasonable explanation, and even the surging sadness that burst out can find clues at this moment, and Ogus’s whole idea is instantly opened.

If David feels that he is out of place, the loneliness and loneliness that is outside the social framework, it is like being left on the other side of the world; then, the entire character, the entire story, and the entire film’s pattern deepens instantly. Get up and see the whole society from one character!

That’s exactly what Oggs had hoped to achieve when he wrote the script, and now it’s delivered through an a cappella dance scene.

Oggs couldn’t contain his excitement and excitement, “Wait a minute, Renly, give me a moment, I’ll re-watch the shot schedule. No, the shot schedule for this scene is wrong, can we use the hang Arm shot for an overhead shot? Or create a frame with a medium shot?”

At this time, the crew members were still a little ignorant. The change of things was too fast and unexpected. It seemed that there was a sharp turn. They thought it was one hundred and eighty degrees, but it turned out to be three hundred and sixty degrees. But it was four hundred and eighty degrees, and then he was dizzy when he turned around.

Only a few people, including Olivia and Whishaw, looked meaningfully at Renly, but did not pursue it further.

Matthew’s shoulders slowly drooped down, looking at the calm Renly, at the nonsense Renly, at the safe and sound Renly… But Matthew felt the scarred Renly in his heart more and more. Those disguises are continuing to erode Renly’s wounds, and Renly still refuses to compromise – Renly is abusing himself, and he can’t help anything, he can only stand by and see it with his own eyes.

Matthew slowly closed his eyes and prayed in the bottom of his heart: God, please be sure to hear my call, respond to the request, please.

Then, with a long sigh, Matthew’s shoulders reopened, his spine straightened again, and he regained his strength again, taking one step at a time in the direction of Renly and Oggs: Renly needed him by his side, Even if Renly refused to admit it, even if Renly pretended to be okay, he could never leave.

Renly sensed the movement around him, turned his head, realized it was Matthew, smiled, and then looked back at Ogus again.

Matthew realized that Renly’s reaction was too acute – in normal working conditions, Renly must be fully immersed, and it is difficult to feel the changes in the outside world; but tonight, Renly is like a cautious fox Usually, he stepped lightly on the ice with his limbs, and listened to the movement with his ears pricked up. Any little turbulence would make him run with all his strength, lest the ice seemed to collapse at any time.

It’s too sharp and too tight.

But Matthew couldn’t say or do anything, he could only silently wait by Renly’s side, waiting for an unknown future.
