The crew of "Mind Hunter" are experiencing incredible shock and consternation. Concerning the performances of Horton and Edmond, and about Renly's performance, the chaotic thoughts are constantly surging, and it may be difficult to digest in a short time. , they need some time to settle down.
Then, they realized Renly's anomaly.
And then, they noticed Rooney's movements.
Rooney lay down beside Renly lightly, her cheeks pressed to the cold ground, not at all worried that the floor might be covered with bacteria, so she looked at Renly face to face, both of them both. Curled up like a baby, like a child who hasn't grown up.
More and more people in the crew noticed such a scene, and they couldn't help but start to exchange their eyes. They looked at each other with doubts, and then suddenly realized that those guesses and speculations were surging back and forth between their eyes, but unexpectedly, the scene was not excited. He started to gossip on the ground, but... It showed a warm feeling of relief and understanding. Behind the surprised and unexpected eyes, there was more warmth that quietly appeared.
Involuntarily, I just stared at such a scene quietly, knowing that I should look away, but I couldn't help looking at it again with a smile, because of this beautiful and graceful picture, it warmed and melted, as if this was the most beautiful scene in the world. Immerse yourself in the most touching and romantic moments.
However, Rooney and Renly didn't seem to feel those glances at all, or they felt them but didn't care.
Rooney didn't speak, just looked at Ren Li's eyes attentively, her facial features relaxed, without raising the corners of her mouth, the familiar coldness returned to her face again, but the concentration and tenderness in her eyes made her brows and eyes twitch. All softened, and carefully depicted Ren Li's facial features with his eyes:
Scattered hair stuck to his sweaty forehead, and the neat and tactful hairstyle became messy; the dry lips were bloodless, and the pale cheeks were more and more reflected, and it seemed that he could vaguely touch the fragility under the skin. , all it takes is a slight breeze to disperse.
The deep eyes were covered with a thin layer of water mist, the pupils did not seem to be able to focus, and the confusion in the dazed and bewildered was like a cloud of fog, and the drowsiness that was entangled with fatigue and pain always lingered between the eyebrows. It has not dissipated, and it seems that even the breath has become almost non-existent.
Gently, gently, Rooney slowed her breathing, kept on the same frequency as Renly, and quietly waited behind Renly.
Tick tock. The sound of the hour hand turning, gradually amplified in the ears, the whole world seemed to be quiet, and only they and time remained.
puff puff. Then slowly, the sound of the beating of the heart gradually became clear, like the pulsation of the earth, lightly tapping the eardrum.
"Can you hear me?"
Renly finally spoke, his light and gentle voice was slightly hoarse, and his words were a little vague, but he still kept his pronunciation full and correct. The next curled tail drifted away.
Rooney didn't answer immediately, but listened intently, "Is that the sound of blood flowing?"
She heard it.
The curvature of the corners of Renly's mouth rose slightly, and then calmed down again. There was no affirmation but no denial. He just listened to the gurgling sound, but was it the sound of blood flowing or the air passing through the pipe? The sound, or the sound of the earth breathing, cannot be determined.
After waiting for a long time, Rooney seemed to really catch the veins of those voices, and she couldn't help awakening her childhood memory, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "When I was very young, I wasn't sure, three years old? Or when I was four years old. One day, Kate teased me, deliberately lying on the ground, put her ear to the ground, and then told me that she could hear the dragon's roar, and I couldn't wait to follow the example, trying to find the dragon's footprint. "
Renly's focus and focus slowly gathered and fell on Rooney's eyes, listening intently to the story.
"You know what? I did hear it, I heard a series of weird noises, like a dragon roaring, it was eye-opening and exciting, but it scared Kate, she thought I was doing it on purpose Playing pranks on her, really angry, constantly yelling at my nonsense, let me end my tricks quickly."
"At the time, I was very aggrieved because I really heard it; and it was Kate who said she heard it first, so why was she unhappy when I heard it? Later, I told my father - of course, he used scientific The perspective explained to me that it was the noise caused by the heating operation, but I couldn't understand it, I always stubbornly believed that there was a dragon hidden under the ground of my house, he was trapped there, he needed help ."
An uncomplicated story, but Ren Li could find the light of the stars in Rooney's eyes. The passion and excitement that came from the heart were slowly flowing out, which made Ren Li's mood rise. "And then? Did the dragon break out of the prison to save the princess?"
"I believe that the dragon has rushed out of the cage, but unfortunately, I'm not a princess, so he didn't come to save me. But the problem is that I don't need to save, I just need someone who accompanies me to overcome difficulties. Comrades-in-arms, otherwise, fighting alone can be a little lonely."
Rooney looked at Renly with bright eyes, and without further ado, it was enough to say, "How about you? Do you have your own dragon too?"
"Of course, I suspected myself for being Truman for a long, long time." Renly's words made Rooney understand instantly, "The world of Truman," "but it's a bit similar to the 'Matrix' version. , we were all being manipulated, we were all trying to break free, but only a few were able to succeed. So, I guess I took the other Halls out, and our damage was a bit large."
Rooney's eyes also overflowed with a smile, "A world can only be built by destroying a world. This is what our work is about."
The content of the actor's work, explained in this way, seems to be correct.
The corners of Renly's mouth relaxed more and more.
Rooney then asked, "How do you feel now?"
"If I say I'm feeling really good right now, it's a kind of..." Renly thought for a moment, searching for the right words. "It's good feeling awful."
"You mean, feel the disaster beautifully?" Rooney asked.
"Almost, feel the destruction beautifully." Renly was especially sincere—
For Horton, it was a painful experience comparable to a catastrophe, and Renly really felt it, but at the same time he also felt the joy and happiness of being an actor who perfectly interprets the role. Feeling the uncontrollable excitement, I couldn't help savoring it carefully.
That's why he's still lying on the ground: not because he's exhausted—well, maybe part of that; not because he's too deep into the play, but more because he's chewing, he really hasn't experienced this kind of performance in a long, long time. The pleasure of , drifting between reality and illusion, all the disturbances disappeared, leaving only him and his characters, as if exploring a whole new world.
Painful and wonderful.
Renly was slowly savoring this contradictory and mixed emotion, and he needed a little time, just a little time, as if a child were looking for the dragon's moment, let the imagination paint those scenes and pictures, and then find the pure and Simple pleasures that don't require anything extra.
Rooney nodded lightly, she could fully understand the feeling, but she didn't speak, didn't try to interpret Renly, just let Renly be quiet for a moment, and then told Renly with her own actions that she was always there.
"I recalled the joy of acting again, I mean, the reason why I became an actor in the first place, did I tell you why I wanted to be an actor in the first place?" Renly took the initiative to share, and Rooney shook her head with a smile. Listening attentively, "I'm curious about other people's lives. It's like magic. You can enter different characters, create different worlds, experience different lives, and present the world with your own understanding and perception."
"It's like Houghton's world, and Edmund's world. I'm not trying to understand them, but at least I know that the world is so big, and there's life like this, and there's life like that, and everyone You can build the life that suits you best on your own path.”
As he spoke, Renly's eyes lit up again, as if... that passion and vitality were re-emerging and thriving.
The familiar Renly, following Horton's collapse, returned again.
Standing on the camera or on the stage, devoted to the performance, crazy for the performance, enthusiastic for the performance, and born just for the performance, this is the most real and most beautiful Renly.
"At the same time, you can also build your own life," Rooney said softly, staring at Renly as if this was her world.
Renly chuckled, "Life is like a roller coaster."
"It's thrilling and exciting, but you can always see different scenery." Rooney said along the line.
Ren Li nodded lightly, but did not continue speaking, but slowly closed his eyes, "I need to rest for a while, just a little while, can you stay with me?"
"Yeah." Rooney replied firmly.
Renly and Rooney lay on the icy marble floor like this, curled up like shrimp, closed their eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
The entire crew on the set was stunned, a little overwhelmed, and they didn't know what to do: Can't you go to the sofa or bed to rest? Why are you lying on the ground
"Fairy Wood"
But Nathan stopped the staff from interfering and gestured to them with his eyes: It's okay, don't worry, Renly just needs a little time.
Among those strange and strange sights, someone could find that Renly's fingers touched Rooney's fingertips, connecting the two.
