A crew of 400 people. $200 million budget.
It was like a big mountain, heavy on Felicity's shoulders - before, she was still worried about how to get along with Renly; now, she has to focus more on herself, otherwise, A little distraction or deviation, and she may be remiss.
The reaction speed was a little slow, and Felicity noticed that Renly had turned and left, and she quickly turned around and trotted after him.
"Renly? Renly!" Felicity ran to Renly's side in a hurry, countless thoughts surging in her mind, she tried to ask questions but couldn't find any clue, she forced herself to take a deep breath and calm down a little, then Asked, "How did you feel when you first starred in the leading role in a large-scale commercial film?"
That's "Edge of Tomorrow," right after "Love Crazy."
"I'm not too sure, it's been a long time." Renly recalled seriously, "I remember that time..." Then, Renly and Felicity walked side by side in the direction of Studio Fourteen. I talked in a single word, and before I knew it, I regained the familiarity I once again found.
Alison still didn't leave.
She appeared on Renly and Felicity's path forward, took the initiative to greet her, and after a brief greeting, she kept giving Felicity a hint of "something to discuss", hoping to interrupt the two of them. Talk and take Felicity away. She still couldn't avoid worry.
Renly didn't interfere, just stood there quietly.
Felicity didn't panic either, simply saying "we'll talk about it later" and refusing to respond to Alison's suggestion; but Alison was still reluctant to give up and tried to persuade Felicity again, but her entanglement did not Could last too long—because Renly's mental pressure was just too great.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"
Renly didn't need to speak at all, just stood aside with a smile and politely, and didn't choose to avoid it, he always cast his eyes towards Felicity - if Felicity asked him to leave, he would definitely step forward; But Felicity gave no hint, and he didn't move.
The elegant gentleman's words and deeds created enormous pressure invisibly. Alison couldn't organize words effectively, let alone actions. Under Renly's gaze, she finally chose to give up and make up for it. Saying "things can wait" and then backing off.
Renly and Felicity stepped forward again, and he cast a questioning glance at Felicity, "Is everything okay?"
That look made Felicity think of Jacob again.
She nodded and smiled, "Okay, everything is fine. She... she's just worried about me." Nothing more was said, and Renly didn't ask any more—the agent's position determined theirs. The considerations were destined to be different, and this matter was left behind.
Alison stood there, struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the phone.
At a certain moment, she had the urge to call Harvey Weinstein to report in advance and ask for a solution, but she also knew deep down that this was irrational and unwise: she did not need to ask Harvey Weinstein for a solution. Wei Bao reported Felicity's actions; and actor cooperation is really normal in Hollywood, and it has nothing to do with the confrontation of awards season.
In fact, she also knew how crazy and stupid that kind of idea was, and it didn't even make sense; but this idea still came out involuntarily.
Because as an agent, she knows how hard-won Felicity's current position is. The rise of "The Theory of Everything" can be said to be at the right time and place. Like Lawrence, she soared into the sky; at the same time, she also knew how domineering and unreasonable Harvey was. She was used to the attitude of the superior and did not like others to refuse or have other thoughts. Even if Harvey made trouble unreasonably, they did not resist as the weak. room.
Dark thoughts, like poisonous snakes lurking at the bottom of the water, jumped out inadvertently.
But in the end, Alison gave up.
Realizing that she had such an idea, Alison couldn't help laughing. It was too absurd, but she also realized that her own worries had affected her normal judgment; she now needs to adjust her mentality and stop being confused. , otherwise the second phase of awards season is going to be bad.
"He's not a monster," Alison convinced herself. But whether this "he" was Harvey or Renly, only she knew.
…
Felicity had no way of knowing Alison's inner struggles, but she didn't have time to ponder, and followed Renly into Studio Fourteen. The two were still talking and laughing—Renly always had Ways to hold the attention firmly and keep the conversation fun and easy.
"Hey Renly, catch me, apparently, this gentleman has time for ladies, but no time for chatting with an old man like me. I don't think it's a virtue, honey, I thought you were a Well-educated gentleman, your behavior really breaks my heart."
An oncoming elegant voice interrupted the conversation between Renly and Felicity, but the wonderful thing was that it was not abrupt at all, and the gentle voice with a bit of sarcasm was able to lightly control the rhythm of the conversation - just beaten. Disconnected conversations are then seamlessly reconnected.
Felicity followed her voice and cast her gaze: she was slender, elegant and gentle, her dark brown short hair was slightly mixed with a little white hair, but she didn't look old at all, but added a touch of mature charm, her bookish-looking face. On the top of the hole, always with a shallow smile, the corners of his mouth are not raised, but he always conveys a smile, even if his face deliberately put on an angry look, he can still capture the light of kindness in his eyes.
Some contradictions, some harmony.
Such an image was slightly beyond Felicity's expectations.
Just as Felicity was looking at them, the other party had already come to them, stopped, crossed her hands in front of her, looked towards Renly, and said in an elder tone, "Why, are you going to? Can you introduce me? As far as I know, this should be your job."
He was clearly "rebuking" Renly, but he didn't feel harsh at all, but rather had a sense of joking.
Felicity was about to speak, but she still turned to look at Renly, and then she could see a kind smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, "Ben, Felicity; Felicity, Ben."
But apparently, the other party wasn't going to let Renly go, and was muttering further, "It's that simple? No more introduction? Oh, this is so disappointing."
"Sorry Felicity, I'm a gentleman from Australia, I don't have any passion for acting, the only reason to keep acting is to meet all kinds of young people, and always remind me that I can always be with Like you, I think, this is also a kind of love, please ignore the guy next to him who is so rigid and not angry, like an 80-year-old man. Energize and enjoy the good times you have, then I would be very, very happy to meet you, Ben-Mendelsohn."
Elegant and sensitive, playful and cunning, serious but humorous.
Ben Mendelsohn showed a very different temperament from the big screen in the movie, which opened Felicity's eyes.
When it comes to the name "Ben Mendelson", many viewers should be unfamiliar with it, because he has played a leafy supporting role throughout his career, and rarely has the opportunity to play the leading role; but when it comes to his works, that is Another look, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Darkest Hour", "Ready Player One", "Captain Marvel", "Spider-Man: Far From Home" and so on.
In fact, this is an old drama actor with superb acting skills, a bit similar to Gary Oldman. Mendelsohn often plays some villains. His appearance has both the contradictory temperament of elegance and cunning, always able to Wandering between warmth and tough guys, his calm performance can release explosive power at critical moments, showing a powerful spiritual impact. The only regret is that he has never met anyone who can let him exert his full strength. character of.
Renly personally liked Mendelsson's performance in "Father and Son in Prison". This British independent film work released in 2013 showed Mendelsson's unique and complicated temperament, which is really impressive. deep impression.
Last year, Mendelsohn starred in Ryan Gosling's "The Lost River". Because of Ryan's relationship, Renly and Mendelsohn met three or four times on different occasions, and each encounter always rubbed off. Different sparks - Mendelssohn's seemingly old urchin is actually a wise man, and always likes to joke with Renly, because he knows that Renly can catch those memes and bring out a humor that only the two of them can understand.
Even Renly once misunderstood Mendelson as British, but in fact he is Australian - and has no Aboriginal accent at all, which is amazing; he was born in Australia and grew up in the UK, Germany and the US. He lived there for a while, and later returned to Australia to start his acting career. This is also an important reason why he was able to "deceive" Renly, and it has also become a stalk that they often ridicule between.
This time, Mendelsohn is about to play the villain leader in "Rogue One". Before entering the crew, Mendelsohn went to London to visit Renly.
Renly sensed that Felicity was a little embarrassed—she was smiling, but her eyes moved between Renly and Mendelsohn, trying to figure out the situation, and Renly stepped forward to explain, "Felicity. , Ben always likes to joke, like when we used to be on set."
"Oh, oh, there's a secret now? And you're still standing in front of me? Are you starting to crowd me out?" Mendelsohn's protest was an eye-opener for Felicity.
But before Felicity could speak, another voice intervened, "Are secrets being shared here? Then I'll come back later."
... Obviously, this is also a cold joke, because the other party didn't turn around and leave.
