One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Heart of Stone
Melissa forced herself to cheer up, which was not an easy task. However, she had no choice. She screwed up, it just screwed up, and although she still doesn't understand what's going on, how Renly sees through everything, but it's over, she's in a corner now, and survival/energy is starting to build up in her body It was boiling in the middle.
Renly rejected John's proposal. She still hasn't been fired from the cast.
This is good news.
A ray of light flashed in Melissa's eyes, full of hope. Renly did not kill them all, but Renly was still tolerant and generous. Does this mean... Renly can let go of the past? So, how should she impress Renly?
"Sorry." Melissa said cautiously, showing her truest face - she felt panic and fear, which was not fake, but she still tried to keep her posture low, like an ant, humbly Begging Renly's forgiveness, she knew that those in the upper echelons liked to see it like this: as if they could control the life and death of others.
Melissa surveyed Renly's expression out of the corner of her eye: There's no change, that's good news, and it means she's on the right track.
"I... I know this is wrong, but it's all my agent's idea. She said this is how Hollywood works." Melissa didn't cry, but muttered in a choked way. The tenacity with grievances in the weak, not too flattering, but able to show his "persistence".
She knows how to impress a man.
"She said that such an opportunity is really rare, and I have to take it well. I refused, I denied it, but she didn't give me too many choices." Melissa hesitated, trying to put all the blame on her as much as possible. Throw it to the agent, it's not uncommon, in fact, that's how actors and agents work together.
But Melissa's cleverness is that, so far, she did not condemn the agent too much, but then took the blame on herself, "I know I know, in the end, this is my choice, I nodded yes, I came forward, and it was still my fault. I shouldn't have done this, I shouldn't have agreed."
"sorry Sorry sorry……"
As she spoke, Melissa covered her cheeks, and tears flowed through her hands. She didn't make any demands, but kept apologizing and begging for mercy, because she clearly knew that apology at this moment was the only core meaning, and any request would not achieve the purpose, but might arouse the other party's disgust.
Renly, who was standing by the side, said nothing.
Everything in front of me is like a mime, full of absurd and awkward inexplicable joy, presenting the ugliest side of Hollywood, Vanity Fair, in the most vulgar way.
This is not the first time that Renly has encountered a similar situation. At the crossroads of Vanity Fair, they made different choices in a single thought. There is no right or wrong. It is just a different value orientation. It leads to the end in its own way. It is necessary to condemn the other party, but it is only a matter of different ways.
But Melissa chose the most vulgar way, like a low-quality soap opera, or a childish high school stage play, dramatizing everything, but hiding a strong vulgarity and boredom.
Such means cannot go further in Vanity Fair. Of course, maybe it's because Melissa has never been exposed to really advanced means at all, this is the best way she knows, and it's not her fault.
So people always say that character determines fate, and vision determines life.
Objectively speaking, Melissa is smart, she knows how to seize opportunities, she also knows how to examine moderation, and she also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. In particular, the choice and grasp of the crisis situation is really impressive, which is far from the purity and sweetness of the first meeting at Lincoln Center.
Melissa raised her gaze through her fingers and glanced at Renly quietly, but only saw a calm face, she was a little confused,
This is not normal.
So, Melissa decided to take the initiative.
"Renly, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize. There is no next time, there is absolutely no next time, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Melissa said eagerly, taking a small step forward. , trying to grab Renly's right hand.
But Renly calmly gave up and avoided her movements, which made Melissa froze in place, her tears falling down like broken pearls, "You Still won't forgive me, right? I really know what I'm wrong, what can I do? Or can I make up for it? I'm willing, really, I'm serious. I promise, there will be no next time ."
"I know, there's no next time." Renly said calmly. Facing Melissa's tears, he showed a hard-hearted calm and calm. The extreme drama contrasted with the extreme calmness. The gap is so great that it creates an incredible sense of absurdity.
Melissa froze in place, tears hanging on her eyelashes for unknown reasons.
Renly was still smiling, still the gentleman in life above the media, but the warmth in his eyes had faded, "This is the last time."
the last time.
Melissa suddenly understood what this sentence meant. She was instantly hit with 100,000 critical hits, and her whole body began to hiccups. Once, again, she couldn't help covering her mouth firmly, not daring to dare. Looking at Renly with confidence, he couldn't believe that Renly could say such cruel words in such a lighthearted manner.
"It's not fair." Melissa said reflexively, and the resentment and anger burst out suddenly.
Melissa shook her head again and again, still refusing to believe her ears, "I've already apologized, I'm apologizing, don't you hear? Even if it's a crime, there is a chance for redemption, but why don't I? Why?"
"Because you don't have any sincerity in your eyes." Renly said with a smile, "You know, there are two kinds of apologies, one is sincere and the other is calculated." After a short pause, Renly said lightly. Shaking his head lightly, "I don't like the latter."
To be honest, Renly really gave Melissa too many opportunities, from the night at Lincoln Center to today, step by step, he left wiggle room, hoping that Melissa would suddenly realize, then everything will be Can dissipate in the wind, just like Emma Watson was not so long ago.
But Melissa missed everything, even in the end, she was still calculating. The point is, she's not as smart as she thought.
In addition to that, Renly had to admit that Melissa was unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun. After egot, his mood has always been a little irritable. Even after the baptism and precipitation of the best friend party, he calmed down a little, but the ubiquitous spotlight still gradually enlarged the negative emotions, and it was inevitable when dealing with things. Somewhat over the top.
If it had been before, Renly might have laughed it off; but today, he had no room for it.
"It's not fair! Everyone is calculating, everyone!" Melissa's eyes widened, and her delicate and sweet face became hideous.
"Yes. It's not fair." Renly nodded in agreement.
It was so neat and tidy, but Melissa couldn't help choking. The words behind her were stuck in her throat. She didn't know how to deal with it. Tears hung on her eyelashes, and she was completely stunned.
Renly went on to say, "Everyone has a choice, and when you choose to use this method to break the ice and win the opportunity, you are also disqualified from being treated as an equal. I am not a judge, but neither am I. Jesus."
"..." Melissa tried to speak, but she didn't know what to say, she just squeezed out an excuse, "But, everyone is like this."
"Yes, then you have to bear the consequences of everyone's failure," Renly replied calmly. But after he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too much like a high-ranking judge, which was not his intention.
After a short pause and serious thought, Renly remained calm and added, "My advice, since you've chosen this way, keep going. Don't use Arming yourself with morality is not worth it. Because it makes you even more humble."
As it is now.
At some point, Renly admired Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, and even Chris Hemsworth even more. At least, they insisted on the path they chose, and went on without hesitation. This is a kind of attitude to life. Renly does not agree and support, but it does not mean that it is right or wrong.
To be like Melissa will only make herself more miserable.
Renly didn't want to entangle any more, it was useless to talk about it, the matter was settled here, he took a step and left the area in front of the apartment, but then remembered something, turned to look at To the lost Melissa, "Finish your work."
Melissa raised her head for unknown reasons and looked at Renly in amazement.
Renly explained, "You said just now, what should you do? You should do your job well. If I was going into filming in the state of performance today, I'm really worried."
There are too many flaws.
Melissa watched Renly leave, he didn't take a taxi, but walked on a skateboard - only then did Melissa notice the skateboard in Renly's hand, she had never noticed such a detail; slow After half a beat, the humiliation and pain began to slowly surge up, like a loud slap, slapped hard on her face, and the burning pain spread little by little.
Everyone said Renly was a gentleman, graceful, graceful, gentle and personable.
Melissa once thought so, but now she realizes that Renly is a demon, the kind of cold-blooded and cruel, deeply hidden under the skin of a gentleman, sharply and cruelly hurt her to the ground. , she suddenly realized that she had provoked this demon, so in the future...
Thinking of this, Melissa couldn't help shivering, one, another, she couldn't stop.
