Through the car window, you can see the endless sea of people spreading along the two sides of the red carpet. The mighty ocean reflects the dark clouds of London's early spring, faintly revealing a splendid splendor, and then continues to expand the horizon. The limit of the end seems to fill the whole world.
Paul Walker subconsciously adjusted his sitting position a little. The nervousness made his throat tighten, and the slightly wet palms revealed the unease and apprehension in his heart, as if today was the first time he walked on the red carpet. Generally, this makes Paul feel a little ridiculous.
In fact, this isn't the first and it won't be the last - even for the Fast and Furious 7 crew, the London premiere was nothing special, having had their North American premiere in Los Angeles last week, and the next , they will also travel to Europe and Asia for the premiere.
So... nothing special, the London premiere was just one of the most common and commonplace outings of countless hype.
But the force of Paul's heart pounding made him a little flustered at this time.
"Stop!" Paul took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Before the start of this publicity trip, Paul had kept warning himself not to make a fuss, not to obsess about the "last time" or something like that, and not to "cry aloud" in a pretentious manner. This farewell has long been completed - the crew officially announced last year When it was finished, he had already said "goodbye", and there was no need to hum and hesitate any more. This was not his style, nor his favorite style.
Last week's LA premiere wasn't particularly emotional, but today it was so nervous that he got a stomach cramp, which left Paul with question marks.
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Paul's mood re-stabilized, as he said, the farewell has been said, and then it is party time; so, today he is ready to enjoy the premiere in London, with the fans Carnival, join hands to create a good memory.
Opening the door, Paul appeared.
There is no doubt that this is a moment worth remembering in the history of the "Fast and Furious" series. More than 5,000 spectators decorated Trafalgar Square with gorgeous colors, and the loud shouts and screams were in Paul's appearance. In an instant... disappeared, indeed disappeared, but the momentary silence made Paul a little overwhelmed—
Having participated in numerous awards ceremonies and premieres, but never encountered such a situation, Paul was a little at a loss, and the slight hesitation of his steps revealed his true emotions.
How to do
What would Renly do if faced with such a scene
But Paul was not Renly, and he had no way of finding out.
Then came the most beautiful and moving scene in Paul's life.
A splendid red was held high above the head in the crowd, and began to wave vigorously, and then one by one, like a prairie fire, they spread out mightily, and the coquettish and graceful red instantly filled the entire square." A gust of spring wind dyed the world red, a miracle of "the world" really appeared in front of him.
That's... a football support scarf! All red scarves, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, San Francisco 49ers... and so on, and the London football fans refused to support the enemy's support scarves, so they waved one A red cloth or a rose, or a red T-shirt, made its way to this special premiere, and then the red stitched together.
The dazzling red complements the carpet under your feet, a layer of red, a layer of gray, another layer of red, another layer... Revealing a dark blue light gray, from the ground to the sky, the rich and gorgeous colors are distinct but harmonious Perfectly intertwined, they outline a splendid imaginary world.
Magnificent! Majestic! Magnificent!
The color and weight of the language completely lost its meaning at this moment, and then the sound appeared.
"Paul! Brian!"
"Paul! Brian!"
The loud and excited shouts were a little uneven. The first half was too anxious, the second half was too chaotic, and the order at the scene became noisy, but gradually, just like this little by little, condensed, layer upon layer. The sound waves hovered under the entire sky, stirring up vast ripples in circles, which seemed to alarm the patron saint of this land, and then, like a miracle, the cloudy sky began to clear.
A touch of golden sunlight fell, and the dazzling red shrouded a light red mist in the thin sunlight. The world was like a dream, and people fell into the gap between reality and illusion, just like being in a mirage. The beautiful scenery makes people linger.
Listen, there is an echo in the ear.
"Paul! Brian!"
"Paul! Brian!"
Paul stood there, his heart was surging, his feet were firmly nailed to the ground, he was reluctant and unwilling to step away, he just opened his mouth slightly and stared at the scene in front of him, so deeply imprinted in his mind, Scan and record your own eyes bit by bit.
Some watched greedily.
Then, Paul's footsteps finally started, his heart was beating hard against his chest, the emotion and happiness were tumbling violently; the scalding temperature could be clearly felt on the surface of the skin, and the shivering from the soles of his feet He ran to his head, shaking one by one.
Those eyes and faces contain excitement and sincerity, conveying their blessings with real actions.
How could he be treated like this
He's just an actor, an average actor—his entire career hasn't been brilliant, he seems to be nothing but Fast and Furious; he's always thought of himself as a dispensable presence in Hollywood , even without him, there is nothing to lose.
But at this moment, he was grateful like never before. Rather than being moved, it is more of a feeling that words cannot describe. This made him deeply realize that he was also loved so much, and that he really existed outside of his family and friends. What more could he ask for with such a beautiful treatment
Paul couldn't help feeling guilty. He chose to turn away from "The Fast and the Furious" for himself, which hurt the love and support of many fans.
But the regret and sadness slowly rolled over in my heart, but Paul's belief became more and more firm: he hopes to become an actor, even if he leaves the safe field of "Fast and Furious", he can still diligently explore the performance of actors; perhaps he is destined to be unable to To be a genius like Renly, but he still loves to perform, in that sea and blue sky, he can find his place, which is also the source of his inner passion.
After finishing the reshoots of "Fast and Furious 7" last year, Paul gave himself a long vacation and refused all invitations to come to the door - there were quite a few, but Paul still decided to accompany Meadow in Los Angeles; in a blink of an eye, half a year It's over, it's time for him to get back to work.
dream
In fact, being an actor can be regarded as his dream, at least he dreams that he can also open up a whole new sky outside of action movies.
Paul was so full of excitement and happiness, all the way to the center stage, the audience was red like sunflowers; he moved with Paul's footsteps, and finally all faced Paul; that vast and magnificent scene undoubtedly became 2015. The brightest scene of the year.
Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham... The entire "Fast and Furious 7" crew showed up—more precisely, it should be The main cast members of the entire series have appeared together, Gal Gadot, Lucas-Black, Elsa-Pataky, etc., all in London The premiere scene.
Paul had a totally unexpected look on his face, "…but, why?"
Isn't Los Angeles a world premiere? He also thought that the premiere in Los Angeles was the grandest and most grand, after all, that was the base camp, but now it seems that the scale and lineup of the premiere in London are far beyond imagination. What is going on? thing
"Fairy Wood"
But Jordana Brewster didn't answer Paul's question, just winked meaningfully at Paul, her eyes flashing with the mystery of "unspeakable, unspeakable".
This made Paul laugh helplessly, shaking his head again and again, "Isn't it?"
Gail, who was standing beside him, said mysteriously, "A little reminder, did you notice who was absent?"
His eyes swept across, and Paul was slightly surprised—because Diesel, Dawn, and the others actually "coexisted peacefully," at least on the surface, it looked like a happy scene without any grudges; then Paul noticed that Renly did not appear.
But this is not unusual. Maybe Universal Pictures specifically arranged for Renly to make the final appearance? Although Renly did not appear in the "Fast and Furious 7" cast list, as the most charismatic actor today, it is also a matter of course that Renly will appear last.
After careful recall, Renly didn't mention anything in the Prince's Garden last night.
So, if it wasn't for Renly, "What? What the hell is it?" Paul was completely clueless, spreading his hands to express his eagerness and confusion.
"Oh, someone's going to be disappointed," Gale quipped with a grin.
Paul became more and more confused. "Did you mean Renly? Renly should be behind. What, did he prepare anything..."
Before Paul could finish his words, the restlessness and commotion on the scene erupted again, and he climbed a step abruptly. The thunderous roar made his ears start buzzing, and even the surface of the skin could breathe into the air. The slightly vibrating tactile sensation transmitted.
Including Paul, everyone turned to look at the fans at the scene for the first time, and then noticed that everyone's eyes were all focused in the same direction, and they also followed everyone's line of sight again. And then Paul saw... a small stage.
And the one who appeared on the stage at this time was Renly!
