One Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Six I Still Feel Pity
John felt like a monkey in a circus, jumping up and down, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, and his appearance was too funny; what was even more depressing was that he was so hard "acting", but the audience opposite was still indifferent, as if he had lost his focus and harmony. The focal length was average, and the deep sense of frustration made John on the verge of breaking out.
Melissa searched around in a daze, her pupils gradually lost focus and focal distance, and her eyes were only blurred. She managed to catch the figure that suddenly appeared, and waved her hands forcefully towards herself, and then she reacted, Focusing again, he nodded quickly, his happy expression burst into bloom, and the whole person was obviously relaxed.
John made a gesture to answer the phone, then called Melissa's cell phone again, "Come down quickly, Renly should appear at any time."
After a quick explanation, John didn't even have time to hang up the phone, and out of the corner of his eye he caught the movement of the transmission in the apartment building: Renly was going downstairs.
This time, John also panicked. He didn't care to say hello to Melissa, so he hung up the phone and quickly hid his figure again, but this was really not an easy task.
Today is the first day of "Boom Drummer" officially reading the script, and the crew will officially start the film three days later.
People in the industry know that Renly is a very punctual actor, at least during filming, and there has never been a rumor of being late; Get ready for shooting and related work.
Therefore, Renly's appearance time is basically predictable, Melissa can wait at the door early, and will never fail.
If it weren't for the little episode just now, then all the processes would have gone according to plan, and it would have been perfect; but now, John couldn't help but start shaking his fingertips, the shadow of the famous tree, the industry rumors about Renly There are too many, especially about the confrontation between paparazzi and reporters, so that John is inevitably vigilant.
Melissa was still holding the phone in her hand, and there was a busy tone, and she couldn't help frowning, "Hello? John? Hello? Is the signal bad? What did you just say? I'm calm, I'm calm now, As long as things go well, I won't worry about it..."
Yea.
The sound of the door opening came from behind, which was particularly conspicuous and harsh on the street in the early morning. Even though Melissa was talking, she faintly sensed something was wrong. The words stopped like this, and she turned around slowly and slowly. Just like a clockwork doll, the rigid movements were so jerky that anyone with eyes could tell that something was wrong.
What's more, after turning around, Melissa showed a damn expression, even if Renly wanted to ignore it, it was not easy.
"Good morning." Renly nodded with a smile.
Melissa was about to cry, and Renly appeared at this time, this... This is just like a leak in the house and a night of rain; the first thought in my mind now is: she didn't say anything on the phone just now Bar?
But before she could think about it, Renly had already greeted with a smile, and Melissa realized that she couldn't continue to panic, she had to cheer up and follow the plan. Yes, as planned. Melissa secretly clenched her fists and cheered herself up. She had practiced so many times in the agent's apartment before, she could do it. She can!
"Good morning." Melissa suddenly realized that her current expression was just right, her slightly red eyes and panicked eyes fit perfectly with today's theme, so she gave up her plan to cover up, her eyes There was a hint of grievance and cringe in it, and he cut off all subsequent words in place, waiting for Ren Li's inquiry quietly.
According to common sense, the little friends who cooperated with the same crew inexplicably appeared downstairs in their own house early in the morning, and they still looked embarrassed. The first reaction of anyone was to ask the reason.
And express concern and condolences. But... Renly was an outlier.
Renly stopped slowly, keeping a polite distance, neither too far away nor too close, about three steps away, the gentleman stared at Melissa quietly, took the initiative to say hello, and said: He didn't ask about the situation urgently, but let the silence spread slowly, waiting for Melissa to speak.
It's not vigilance or alienation, it's etiquette.
Never ask the other person's personal affairs lightly, even if the other party shows ups and downs in emotions, this is part of etiquette; if a guest visits rashly, even if it is an unwelcome guest, the host must show enough generosity, which is also etiquette part.
If the other party intends to confide, then they will naturally speak; if the other party does not intend to mention it, maintaining appropriate space and distance is the best choice.
After a moment of silence, Renly politely left room for maneuver. After a little blank, Melissa still did not speak. Renly then took the initiative to invite, "There is a coffee shop on the corner of the street, and the owner's hand-ground coffee is the best coffee in the neighborhood. Okay, I wouldn't recommend their Blue Mountains, the last batch arrived and the sourness was unsatisfactory; but there's a batch of Mandheling from Sumatra that is definitely the best choice."
Melissa was a little stunned and stunned, this... What the hell is going on?
Early in the morning, Renly did not ask the specific reason, but talked about coffee? What Sumatra and what Mandheling? This, this is not quite right? What the hell is going on here?
Seeing that Renly made an inviting gesture, Melissa reacted only then, the original plan in her mind worked quickly, and she said urgently, "No, no... I mean, I am I came here to apologize." Melissa took a half step forward and said the lines she had prepared in advance.
Renly cast a suspicious look, not understanding what Melissa meant.
"Last time at Lincoln Center, I was too rude." Melissa's eyes blushed slightly, but she still tried to straighten her waist, showing a strong appearance, "I witnessed so many multimedia reporters on the scene, I have never Seeing such a scene, my head suddenly became hot, and I lost my sense of proportion for a while. Later, when I watched the news report, I realized that my actions were really rude, which was obviously wrong."
Melissa raised her head, looked at Renly with tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and revealed a perfect smile, bright as the sun, a little aggrieved but pretending to be strong. , blooming proudly like a daisy, "Then we need to cooperate on this work for a long time. I am a newcomer, and there is still a lot to learn. I sincerely hope that this work can be completed perfectly."
Melissa stared at Renly intently, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was like a wild chrysanthemum swaying in the wind, fresh and natural, I felt pity for it.
Ren Li faintly felt something unusual, but couldn't say why. Perhaps, Melissa's agent realized the problem and asked Melissa to come and apologize, which makes sense; although Melissa's expression was a little too deliberate, Renly didn't think much about it, maybe Is Melissa unwilling?
Renly still kept his gentleman's smile and bowed slightly, "Don't worry. It didn't hurt my feelings."
Although he couldn't tell why, Renly kept his distance. Whether out of gentlemanly manner or out of vigilance, Renly had no intention of becoming friends with Melissa.
Melissa took a slight step forward and leaned towards Renly, trying to use the visual dislocation to create an illusion that she and Renly were hugging, but unexpectedly, Renly moved forward quietly. He took a step—but it wasn’t a frontal butt, but a dislocated footstep, from the left to the right, keeping the space between the two of them as they were.
How to politely avoid hugs without hurting each other's feelings is one of the compulsory courses for nobles. In this class, Arthur is a master. He tries his best to avoid hugs and keep distance as much as possible in various occasions. This is Arthur's ultimate goal.
Now Renly is avoiding hugs with strangers.
"Thank you very much. I made a special trip to apologize for such a trivial matter. I think there may be rumors in the circle that I am a super big name in the next period of time." While switching steps, Renly also smiled and teased. , the understatement shifts the focus from the emphasis.
If you know each other, you should walk down the steps of Renly now, then you can still keep your face and be at peace, and Renly will pretend that nothing happened; but for Melissa, it is already a bow. There is no turning back.
Melissa was stunned for a while. She could sense Renly's change of position, but everything was so natural that she couldn't tell whether it was an accident or not. There was Renly's voice in her ear, and Mei Li Sha regained her senses and forced herself to smile, "No, of course not."
After a few words of coping, Melissa regained her strength and launched an attack again. Shui Lingling's eyes were fixed on Renly, and she said wholeheartedly, "This time, I am looking forward to this cooperation and I am a little nervous. Honestly, just imagining it takes your breath away. It’s a rare opportunity to work with Renly Hall and learn how to act.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward.
For the second time, Melissa walked in the direction of Renly, her chin was slightly retracted, her eyes moved, and she made a gentle and graceful appearance. Like a kitten, she could curl up lazily and nostalgically in Renly. in the arms of .
For such a gesture and appearance, most men have no way to refuse, especially for the active object of throwing / hugging / sending / hugging.
But the premise is that, in the face of the attraction of Wenrou Township, the man's IQ begins to drop sharply, and he habitually uses his lower/half/body to think.
Unfortunately, Renly is not.
