"So, after that, do you still continue to challenge free climbing?" Paul took the initiative to sit down beside Renly, and Fan sat beside Andy.
The entire booth was a semicircle, so Fan sat diagonally across from Renly. Neil finally took his seat. He chose the position on Paul's right, which happened to be diagonally opposite to Andy.
"Not after that, but on the third day after we met, I went free climbing again, and that time I made it to the top." Renly replied kindly, and he could see Paul's eyes blooming. The expectations that come out do not require words. He also knows that Paul is waiting for the following. He can understand this mentality. He will also be curious about what those people who have reached the top of Mount Everest have seen. What did you feel? "The whole world is spread out under your feet, river valleys, cliffs, forests, plains, mountains... The strong wind blows, as if you can fly by the wind just by opening your arms."
Simple words can't describe one ten thousandth of the mood at that time, and can only dryly turn vivid images into gorgeous rhetoric, allowing the audience to describe the grandeur that makes the soul tremble from between the lines.
"God, I must go to the top and have a look!" Paul exclaimed, aware of the kind smile in Renly's eyes, he scratched his head, "I was once asked to describe the scene of surfing, and I found that no matter how I describe it, it is always I can't explain how I feel about soaring through the waves, and since then I've learned that only by experiencing it can I feel the magnificence of nature!"
Renly laughed dumbly, and closed his jaw gently, "The sea always makes people yearn, isn't it? I'm going to Hawaii next week. Although it's not the best season for surfing, it's challenging for a beginner like me. A small wave on the west coast is enough."
"Everyone knows about the huge tubular waves on the North Shore, but few people know that the waves on the West Shore are not inferior." After Paul finished speaking, he patted the table with regret, "I need to devote myself to the filming next. Not until at least November, and if filming is delayed, until December."
"That's such a pity." Renly shook his head slightly, expressing his embarrassment.
"Paul, you can wait until the movie is finished before you go with Renly." Andy took over the conversation naturally and said, "Renly's next job schedule is uncertain." The implication is obvious. However, today's audition results will determine the status of Renly's work for the next period of time.
Neil smiled and said, "Can you two talk about something we understand? Rock climbing and surfing, that's not our specialty. Fan, how about you?"
"Oh, no, no, no." Fan shook his head again and again, "I'm more of a fitness type person, why don't we talk about biceps?" As he spoke, the muscles in his shoulders tightened. Stretched up, without any extra movement, you can see that his arms have become thicker, the lines of his biceps are very obvious, and his flamboyant posture is faintly strong with an explosive force value.
In the small booth, he looks like the Hulk.
Renly pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "That's a tempting proposal. However, I thought we needed to talk about acting." Pause, half a second, quiet, silent, stiff, embarrassed, stagnant , and then the smile on the corner of his mouth rose warmly, and the ice and snow melted in an instant, "Or, let's start with ordering?" Renly raised his head, gave the waiter standing not far away a glance, and closed it. Jaw, the waiter brought the menu over.
In such high-end restaurants or restaurants with excellent traditions, the waiters are well-trained, and their interpretation of the body shape of the guests can often be completed between lightning and flint. Of course, only those guests who are familiar with high-end restaurants and experienced waiters will behave properly.
Neil took the menu from the waiter, and out of the corner of his eye he could see Fan's awkward expression, but he couldn't get it out. This is really fun. Fan was clearly showing off his strength and strength just now, and his sense of superiority lingered in his gestures, but in just two sentences, Ren Li not only completed the counterattack, but also brought the scene back.
"It seems that you often come and go in such occasions." What interested Neil even more was the background that Renly showed in these trivial details at the end, not to mention Renly's family background, which was too complicated , but at least Renly couldn't see the tenderness and youthfulness of twenty years old.
"The more hours I work, the more I understand." Renly's explanation could not be considered a lie. He did work in the pioneer village for a long time.
Neil's eyebrows were raised, a lot of wrinkles were folded on his smooth forehead, his expression was meaningful, and he didn't know whether he believed it, didn't believe it, or some other emotion.
"Performance? People who didn't know thought we were having a symposium with Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro." Fan's sneering voice was still uncontrollable and raised high. He raised his chin and leaned back on the seat back of the deck, the curvature of the corner of his mouth brought out a hint of mockery.
"Hehe, Wenxuan, it sounds like a New Yorker." Fan looked around, seeking everyone's sympathy, and sneered twice. He seemed to be joking, but it was actually sarcasm, and then leaned forward. The edge of the table, with both hands on the table, closed the distance between him and Renly, and stared at Renly with bell-like eyes, "In our crew, we are not performing, we are devoting our lives to filming, Every picture, every scene, every shot is adrenaline burning! This is not a Broadway stage of a sissy/girly/tongue, but a hell that tests a real man!"
"Fairy Wood"
The atmosphere in the booth suddenly became tense. Neil was watching the fire from the other side, and he was even looking forward to how things would develop; Andy was watching the changes, he was not sure if this could be part of the audition, after all, Renly auditioned for the role. He is a tough type, not to mention, judging from his past confrontation with Renly, Renly is not a soft persimmon, just facing an opponent with physical advantages like Fan, so what
Only Paul, Paul frowned worriedly, he knew that Fan had a more impulsive temper, and he talked straight, but today's meeting had just started, and the atmosphere was stiff, which was really not good. "Fan!" He called out reflexively. After all, Fan was his friend, so it was more convenient to advise him.
Fan glared at Paul without showing weakness, but did not respond, but his attitude could not be more obvious.
"I thought these were all compliments for the stand-in." Ren Li spoke, and compared to Fan's oppressive movements and demeanor, Ren Li seemed relaxed, still with a calm smile on the corners of his mouth, those dark brown His eyes hid deep emotions.
Neil wasn't sure if it was his own delusion. Renly's temperament seemed to have changed a little at this moment - is this a performance? Or the real face of Renly? Because he was completely unfamiliar with Renly, Neil did not have a benchmark for judgment and could not draw conclusions. But Neil could feel that Renly's gentility was beginning to emerge, not as aggressive as Fan's, but as a tenacious and powerful force, as if scheming to keep everything under control.
This reminds Neil of "Inglourious Basterds" German Colonel Hans, wait, aren't they picking FBI agents now? Not the villain, but the justice, isn't it? He's a little regretful now, and he should sit next to Fan so he can look at Renly clearly.
"Of course, the stand-ins are all great, it's hard to imagine what action movies would have been like without their efforts." Renly always kept the original sitting position, with no unnecessary movements, and there was naturally a powerful force in the silence. , Under the cover of Fan's strong aura, he stood still, "However, I didn't expect the situation of the crew to be different. I have always believed that the task of an actor is to perform, regardless of the type of work."
After a slight pause, Ren Li looked at Fan seriously, letting the silence surge, as if asking: Do you have any opinions to express
Fan felt a choking feeling stuck in his throat. Because of his appearance, he hated people saying he was not an actor. Many times, people thought he was a wrestler, just like Dwayne Johnson. , but he wasn't, he was an actor from the beginning! Even an action actor is part of an actor; even if he has never been recognized by academies and film critics, he is still an actor, at least in Fan's eyes, he is one level above the vase.
Looking at the light-hearted Ren Li in front of him, he just wanted to raise his hand and punch him hard, smashing that mask-like smile to smithereens!
No idea, but Renly looked away, turned to look at Paul next to him, "So, how do you call yourself in the crew, if it's not an actor, then it's... a star?"
The ironic words were filled with a witty wit in Renly's curious, light-hearted tone. The media always likes to refer to Hollywood actors as "stars," but no actor calls themselves "stars."
"Pfft." Paul laughed outright and patted Renly's shoulder hard, "You are such a humorous person, if I heard correctly, you are British, right? British humor always makes I am in awe."
Paul's hearty smile suddenly brought the atmosphere back to the scene, and Neil and Andy joined the laughter at the right time. In the blink of an eye, the tense breath disappeared.
On the contrary, Fan Yi, who just took the initiative to ridicule but was left empty, was left to the side in the cold, like sitting on pins and needles.
Looking at Lan Li who was chatting and laughing in front of him, Fan gritted his teeth secretly, he didn't like this kid. He knew that the other party didn't offend him, everything was just humor in social situations, but he just didn't like it. The hypocritical smile made him sick to his stomach, and he just wanted to punch him hard.
