In fact, whether Hollywood or London aristocrats, Vanity Fair has no bottom line than imagined, but the shamelessness and greed are all hidden under the glamorous skin, always able to easily deceive others, all eyes are on Above the dazzling halo that ignores the darkness and decay below the light.
The bottom line of the London aristocracy is the reputation and dignity of the "surname", and the bottom line of Hollywood is absolute interests. In front of such a bottom line, everything else can stand aside.
It's that simple.
Likewise, Renly has his bottom line and persistence. He will not naively and romantically believe that he can change the rules of the whole world with his own power; but he will not be pessimistic and dejected that, facing the constraints of society and class, he has no other choice but to surrender.
He has his pride, and he will stick to his bottom line and perseverance, even if the end is broken. He looks forward to a day in the future when his persistence can make a small change in the world, or at least the world around him; if not, it doesn't matter, because he can have a clear conscience.
That was the case with Natalie Portman's pleas at the Toronto Film Festival, then Melissa Benoist and Vin Diesel, and now Thomas Tour , Renly's bottom line and persistence have never changed - some things are not impossible but unwilling to do.
"I reject."
"I do not know."
This was Renly's answer, without detours or cover-ups, cutting off all possibilities so bluntly. He could have chosen a more tactful and gentle way, but he didn't think it was necessary.
Renly's rude refusal didn't leave any face, which made Thomas stunned for a moment, and then he became angry:
No one dared to speak to him like this, not even Ron Meyer and Steven Spielberg, so who is this actor in front of him
"Are you mentally ill?" Thomas tried hard to control his urge to swear, and expressed his anger at the moment in relatively elegant words. The tense voice showed the emotions that were on the verge of eruption at this moment, because too much Angry, after reacting, Thomas laughed angrily, looking at Renly as if he was looking at an idiot, "Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know who you're dealing with?"
Renly remained motionless, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose lightly—it fell into Thomas' eyes, too dazzling, and his anger began to gurgle.
"I'm just curious why everyone always likes to emphasize this sentence when they are so angry, trying to prove the absurdity of the whole thing. But the problem is, if I really don't know who I'm talking to, then I don't It just proves that my personality is like this, even if you emphasize it, you are just humiliating yourself, what do you think?"
Ren Li's chatty attitude was really, really calm, and the aura of a high-ranking person radiated from the inside out.
Thomas calmed down instead—even though his temper was tough, it didn't mean he was an idiot. In the head-to-head battle of this game, it is obvious that no one's voice can win, so he needs to calm down before he can start a head-to-head confrontation with Renly, right
Renly also keenly captured the subtle changes in Thomas' mood. He was not nervous, but he was in the middle of it, because it meant that Thomas had also gotten rid of the entanglement of negative emotions. Now it's time to talk about business, and both parties can keep their senses and start the conversation.
"I don't care what the opinion of Bryce and Seth is, I don't care if Lang and the propaganda department pass such a proposal, this is the end of the matter, I will think it is all just gibberish and will not let it go. At heart, let's just pretend this conversation never happened."
Seriously, Renly emphasized his position clearly and accurately, cutting off any possibility of misunderstanding.
But how could Thomas easily compromise? More precisely, how could Thomas easily let Renlylly call the shots
"I don't know who gave you the courage to be so arrogant, so arrogant and so arrogant, that you seem to think the world revolves around you. Is it because the actors have been in the spotlight for years and then really think they are in control The whole world?" Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, word by word.
The sarcastic words were full of sharp and razor-sharp attacks, attacking Renly like sharp blades, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can give me orders? Only those actors who really have no brains. There will be this illusion, it seems that they have autonomy, but let me tell you, everything about you is in our hands, you are just commodities, puppets for profit! Big stars? Huh, the world The most ridiculous thing is the word."
"Let me tell you, I won't pretend that what you just said didn't happen. Every word and every sentence stays in my mind. You will pay for your stupidity." Thomas' eyes burst out sharp and tough. The power of , the powerful momentum was fully released, "Regret now? It's too late!"
The corners of Thomas' mouth revealed a touch of cruelty, and the pleasure of mastering the power of killing others was bursting out continuously. He liked this moment - those bright and bright top stars on the stage were played by him. In between, the taste of turning one's hands into clouds and covering one's hands into rain is even more exciting than /drugs/drugs.
But Renly did not panic as expected, nor did he fear or withdraw, not even a bit of stiffness, and could not find any mood swings.
Thomas' expression froze slightly, this is not the scene he expected to see, "Don't think that you have the initiative, you have signed the contract with the crew, and now you can't easily break the contract, no matter what, you must finish filming This work; and during the filming, if I made the news publicly, do you think you can stop me? Do you think you can stop the whole crew? Daydreaming!"
Thomas lost his temper slightly.
He knew it, and he admitted it. In the past year, in the many confrontations, in the end, it was Thomas who fell behind. Ron Mayer chose to compromise and bow his head in the end. This made Renly's series of strategies a success. For Thomas, It was a heavy blow—
Not even Warner Bros. was able to force him into submission, and now he's losing face in front of Renly
Little by little, the negative emotions accumulated like this, Thomas had almost reached his limit, and now Renly stood in front of him like this, but still put on that noble and inviolable appearance, which made people endure. He couldn't help but want to tear off his mask to see the panic and embarrassment hidden behind him.
Thomas has tried his best to control it, but his words are still a little excited, and reason is temporarily put on the back of his mind.
To be honest, Renly was a little disappointed. After facing Harvey Weinstein, Barry Mayer, Bob Iger and other top bigwigs in the industry, he was inevitably looking forward to the rumored Thomas Tour— Since Thomas dared to confront Warner Bros. and did not hide his ambitions at all, he must be a character, but now it seems that his mind, bearing, vision and ability are all a notch lower.
Such control ability is on the same level as Chris Hemsworth, but he is the CEO of Legendary Pictures
Such a gap is really disappointing.
Thomas caught Renly's disappointment instantly, because Renly had no plans to hide it at all, and the deep embarrassment and regret in the depths of his eyes were revealed, and it didn't take too many words to reveal a contempt and contempt, ruthless. He hit Thomas head-on, he really really didn't like this feeling!
"I can't stop you, so... can you stop me?" Really, Renly didn't want to quarrel like this, because the technical level was too low, it was like a schoolboy quarrel; but looking at Thomas in front of him, Renly had to In line with his level, the problem is simplified and basic, so that the communication is more efficient.
"Of course, you can create scandals, this is your freedom and your ability. I can't stop it. But without my follow-up cooperation, do you think the scandal can continue to be hyped? More importantly, if I am in the media What do you think will happen when you expose your propaganda plan in front of you?"
Renly is still Renly, and the way he speaks in a leisurely and unhurried manner is really annoying, and it is definitely not an easy thing to keep sane.
"You dare!" Thomas' suppressed anger rolled over again, almost gnashing his teeth.
That's how Renly's smile blooms - people always like to ask Renly this question, and his answer never seems to change, "Would you like to try it?"
If Renly really pierced the "gossip hype" strategy of the crew, the negative impact on the movie would be absolutely unpredictable. Will he really self-destruct the Great Wall
But thinking about Renly's rage in front of reporters in the hospital, and Renly's directness at the Oscars, Thomas wasn't sure.
Renly didn't speak, but neither did Thomas.
Renly's smile faded slightly, and he continued, "Mr. Tour, there is one thing we need to agree on, what do you think will happen if I really don't do what you think? You are in the whole of Hollywood. Ban me completely? You completely cut off my Oscar prospects? You made all film companies dare not ask me to film? Or, you just smeared my reputation? Do you think you can do this? Or do you think I would care?"
Thomas opened his mouth, but no sound came out:
In the end is he able to do it? Or would Renly care
It suddenly dawned on him that the answer to both questions was no—he felt like an idiot.
