The mist lingering on the inner wall of the champagne glass gradually dissipated in the temperature of the palm. Jessica gently closed her chin and listened to the conversation between Brad and Jeff. When she first started talking about the topic during the filming, She could still chime in; but then talk about golf clubs, advertising placements during production, and so on, and she'd be left as a listener.
There was the sound of swimming in the swimming pool and the deafening sound of electronic music. The conversation here made Jessica feel a little bored and annoyed. There was no anecdote, just their boasting; Enjoy the party atmosphere, but the stares that come from all directions are so overwhelming that she has to socialize at a pool party with champagne glasses and evening gowns.
"I just ran out of whisky, I need another one, ma'am?"
Jeff's voice interrupted Jessica's thoughts. She showed a big smile and was about to respond when she heard a voice behind her. Not unassuming, but clear enough, elegant and calm, with a touch of magnetism, the background revealed between the lines is not only not dull, but fascinating, and the casual humor makes the corners of the mouth rise.
She knew the voice.
Turning around, he saw the profile. Sure enough, it was the person she had guessed in her mind. His speech, his demeanor, his demeanor, have a unique temperament that is natural and exudes from the inside out, which can easily make the atmosphere special between a smile and a smile.
"Wait a minute, can you give me a glass of rum? Thank you." Jessica seemed to be able to taste the sweet aroma of rum on her tongue, and she couldn't help but want to taste it herself, he Looking over, she blinked. Unexpectedly, the two people met again on such an occasion, in such a way, "I think, I must not miss this glass of rum."
The red-haired and snow-skinned Jessica is not beautiful, but she has a unique style when she smiles. This made Jeff smile too, chuckling, "I never knew there was such an allusion to rum." In general, people are more used to using rum in bartending, rather than on its own. Drinking, "However, I'm more curious about the taste of 'Death in the Afternoon' than rum." Then, Jeff looked at the bunny girl, "Can you ask the bar to make a glass for me?"
"Two cups," David added, raising two fingers.
Michael Fassbender gave a big smile, his upper and lower rows of teeth showed neatly, looking like a shark, "Three cups." Then he turned to look at the others, "Don't you want to try See? The description he just described is really full of reverie. In fact, can you give me a glass of rum other than the afternoon of death?"
Looking at Michael in front of him, the corners of Renly's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a playful smile spread across his eyes.
On the big screen, Michael always plays the role of /abstinence/sexuality, serious and profound image, showing the coldness and rigidity of Germans to the fullest; but in real life, Michael is not like a German at all, but like a Irish - cheerful, rude and straightforward.
From the big screen into life, the joy brought by the image gap really makes people laugh.
However, this was not the best time to make new friends, Renly looked at Michael with a smile, paused for a moment, and thanked him, then looked at Jessica, as if it was the first time we met today. , "When ladies are tasting rum, I recommend adding a little water or sucrose."
Jessica opened her mouth slightly in surprise, "It seems that you are an alcohol lover."
"I thought you would say, I'm a literature lover." Renly's unexpected answer made everyone stunned, and then he thought of the story just now. After realizing it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the atmosphere of the whole conversation rose. It became light in silence, and it seemed that the oxygen factors floating in the air began to jump.
In the low chuckle, a rough and vicissitudes of life sounded, "Whiskey, without ice."
In an instant, everyone followed the voice, and it was Brad Pitt who spoke.
He had his left hand in his trousers pocket and his right hand a short glass with the last bits of golden-brown whisky still in it. He had a neatly trimmed beard, neat short hair, a smile on his face, no youthful look. Windy/flowing/suave/suave and cynical, but the mature temperament is like a century-old whisky, getting more and more mellow.
Even a man has to admit that Brad is a charming man, and he naturally has a taste of dashing wind/flow. In just one sentence, the focus shifted from Renly to Brad.
Brad raised his eyebrows and calmly faced the swarming gazes from all directions. He had no burden at all. He had long been used to standing under the spotlight. He chuckled twice, and then spread his hands. It seems that he is expressing his helplessness, "As an old man, I still don't like to change some habits."
The teasing with a faint smile seems to be self-deprecating; but the hidden meaning is that it is satirizing Renly's fancy, cocktail and rum, which looks like a lot of tricks, in fact, it's just It's just an eye-catching trick.
Not against Renly, just a subconscious self-protection mechanism.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In this small field, Brad is a well-deserved focus. Whether he likes the focus or not, and sometimes even hates the inconvenience of it, the truth is that after nearly three decades of rolling around in the Hollywood Vanity Fair, it's inevitable to get used to it, deep into the blood.
Therefore, when another person with a strong aura appeared on the scene and grabbed the focus, the instinct/energy began to disappear. This is also a classification of occupational diseases.
There was a low voice of laughter and echoes at the scene. Invisibly, there were more out-of-the-way visions projected towards Ren Li, like thorns like a ox's hair. It didn't hurt, but it was enough. It's so clear that people can't ignore it. It is estimated that there are quite a few people with the mentality of watching a good show.

It also includes Jeff.
Renly can choose tit for tat, he only needs to taunt "like the old guy in the western movie", which is enough to provoke a war - in the United States, the entire Midlands are representatives of conservatives, and the southern forces are even more conservative Most of the scenes depicted in Western movies are these areas, especially the elderly, who are stubborn conservatives, still racist, still protesting changes, and still rejecting the progress of the times.
On a deeper level, Brad is from Oklahoma, the Midlands. After entering Hollywood, Brad has been downplaying his "hillbilly" image for years, and certainly doesn't want anyone to mention it at this time.
However, Renly didn't plan to steal Brad's limelight, so he chose another way, "The problem of sour literati is always like this, people are not used to it." After speaking, Renly spread his hands helplessly, Shaking his head gently, he seemed helpless.
The real implication of this self-deprecation is: people are not used to seeing it, but people will imitate it after all, because cultural heritage and talent and knowledge are the signs that distinguish the nouveau riche from the real aristocrats.
Self-deprecating, fighting back, ridiculing, joking, in just one sentence, all the emotions are in one go.
"Pfft." The first one to laugh was Jeff, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he laughed extraordinarily.
Paul held back his laughter very hard, but he knew that this was not the time to laugh, so he forcibly held back. Now that he heard Jeff's laughter, Paul couldn't hold back any longer and laughed directly. So did Jessica, so did Michael, then David Ayer, then everyone else around, and finally... Brad twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
During the conversation, the bunny girl returned again, carrying everyone's rum; behind her was a colleague with a champagne glass on the plate, but the long glass was not filled with star wine, but milky white light The liquid, which looks like lemonade, exudes the languidness and lightness of the afternoon.
"Death in the Afternoon", such a romantic and poetic name, but the resulting cocktail looks so... "Mediocre." Amid the cheers and exclamations, Renly's voice rang out, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. stunned.
No one dared to tell the truth, and only followed the politeness of social occasions to express the usual praise, but now, Renly has spoken - the narrator behind this cup of "Death in the Afternoon", he has no scruples to complain, "Actually. It's just rum and champagne, nothing special. The only reason it's famous is because Hemingway mixed it up casually when he was drunk. If I had to recommend it, I'd rather drink rum straight."
Quiet, quiet, and then everyone burst into laughter. This time, even Brad was no exception, his eyes fell on the cups of milky white cocktails, and he couldn't help laughing.
Jeff took his "Death in the Afternoon" and looked at it carefully, and then his eyes fell on Renly again.
There was no sign, no surprise, not even any surprise, and quietly, Renly not only integrated into their group, but also controlled the rhythm of the conversation; Brad was still the center of the crowd, but out of the corner of his eye, Always drifting towards Renly involuntarily, even if he didn't speak, he couldn't help but observe Renly's expression and reaction.
The point is that the entire process of change was completed quietly, and even Jeff didn't notice any abnormality or abruptness; what's even more commendable is that in the brief confrontation between Brad and Renly just now, Renly's elegant but The sharp handling is really eye-catching.
He lowered his head and took a sip of "Death in the Afternoon" in his hand, and thinking about Renly's comment just now, Jeff couldn't help but chuckle. In fact, he likes this cocktail quite a bit. The afternoon sunshine makes the alcohol in his mouth jump. "Renly, Ben has collected a lot of classic wines. I'm going to visit. How about you? Interested in joining me?"
Obviously, this is an invitation to audition, Renly nodded with a smile, took a small step back, and made an inviting gesture, "My pleasure."
