Two Thousand and Forty-Nine

"Heh, it seems that I have an audience here. If you don't mind, I'll say hello first, and we'll continue... No, no, I think it should be fine..."

Renly's hoarse voice chuckled softly. Even though he was laughing, he still couldn't feel the happiness and warmth. The bitterness hidden behind the loneliness became more and more obvious. There was a slight sound in the gust of wind, making Nina shiver.

The next second, Nina realized that Renly's words were referring to her, her whereabouts were revealed, and she was frozen in place like an ice sculpture.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Nina's countless thoughts were racing through her mind like thousands of headless flies, but the reality was that she was completely rigid and unable to move, not even a finger could move. Na turned around and ran, and ran wildly regardless, as if the devil was showing his teeth and claws behind him, boosting all speed and strength to the extreme, and rushing into the party scene in one go.

"..."

The people standing near the balcony received 100,000 critical hits one by one. They looked at Nina in astonishment. They didn't know what happened, but Nina didn't know how to explain it. Immediately after realizing that he couldn't reveal the secret, the pre-sale wanted to swallow his fingers, and then he quickly started thinking about how he should lie to be able to write off this matter?

"Did you see the tyrannical Tyrannosaurus rex? How did you escape so embarrassingly?" Someone standing beside him teased.

Nina's eyes lit up, this stalk was really suitable, she nodded again and again, and then many people around her collectively laughed, and the scene became lively again.

The newly joined team in New Orleans was unknown, and then the Hawaii team explained the ins and outs of the situation and helped Nina invisibly. Scared himself to death, he quickly joined everyone's spit discussion, covering up his panic, and now he can only secretly pray: Renly, don't chase after him! Renly must not find her!

"...It seems to have left." Ren Li didn't stand up to chase, and looked at his left hand with his head, only to see a back that was running away, but he gave up the plan to "catch" the other party, "I guess it should be because My image on the set was horrible, and they didn't dare to provoke me."

Renly isn't alone?

Renly was indeed alone, only, he was on the phone.

"Ha, I think,

That person probably thought he had seen your secret and ran away because he was worried that you would be silenced. There was a mocking voice on the other end of the phone, which made Renly raise his eyebrows slightly and retorted, "What secret? I never mind others discovering my secrets. "

"The secret of the breakup you just broke up." The voice on the other end of the phone said naturally, "I think it must be because the other party heard your singing and thought you broke up, so this is why you fled; even I endured it. Can't stop guessing, did you just break up?"

Renly chuckled, but the corners of his mouth did not rise, "Don't worry, if I break up, you will be the first to know."

"Oh? I was the first to know? Instead of us making decisions together? This is not right!" At this point, Rooney Mara was on the other end of the phone.

This made Renly chuckle again, this time for real, "Okay, I promise you, we'll make a decision together next time."

About a month and a half ago, Rooney was finalizing her next project: "Carol," the one that Renly had recommended, and she would play with Cate Blanchett as a character who falls in love with her. The young woman of the blond lady tells a pure and true love story.

The background of the whole story takes place in New York in the 1950s, but obviously, it is unrealistic and illusory to shoot this film in New York now, so the crew went around looking for a suitable shooting location. At the same time, Rooney also made a special trip to San Francisco , look through the historical materials in the 1950s, try to restore the background, cultural atmosphere and social form of the time, and help yourself better understand the characters and stories.

About a week ago, the crew officially confirmed the shooting location and completed the preliminary preparations. Rooney and Cate Blanchett entered the group one after another, and both went to Cincinnati, Ohio to arrange the script and cultivate the chemical reaction between each other. Get involved in filming.

Ohio is located around the Great Lakes, that is, northeast of Louisiana, and New Orleans and Cincinnati, one to the north and one to the south, are about eight hundred miles (thirteen hundred kilometers) from each other because the two cities are The highway between them is flat, and it can be reached by about half a day's drive, which also means that Renly and Rooney are working in two cities that are half a day's drive away.

Rooney knew that Renly arrived in New Orleans today, and will continue to complete the filming of "Jurassic World" here. She called and asked about Renly's journey. There was no special purpose, just a general greeting. She and Lan The way of getting along with etiquette is not to talk on the phone every day to maintain a sense of intimacy, occasionally write text messages, occasionally write letters, and occasionally make phone calls... They can always find a way to get along with each other comfortably.

In the process of getting along with Renly and Rooney, they did not specifically mention their family, but they did not deliberately avoid it. If it was mentioned in the topic, then they would just chat a little bit, and the two maintained their respect for each other. , and also in the running-in process, getting closer to each other little by little.

For example, Rooney mentioned the frustration of Kate Mara recently. She participated in the summer work "Transcendence Hackers" starring Johnny Depp, but encountered crazy bad reviews from the media, which made her Kate's emotions have become extra sensitive, and there have been several unnecessary arguments between the two sisters

How to deal with the relationship between oneself and the media, film critics, audience, and the Internet is a subject that every actor or director must learn; obviously, how to share such negative emotions with family members and friends is also a subject for every public figure topics that need to be learned and discussed.

Likewise, Renly mentions the royal honours incidentally and tells Rooney of his decision, "I decided to refuse the honours and my parents decided to express their anger by hurting people close to them. Think, I'll never be able to understand them, just as they'll never be able to understand me."

"My mother didn't speak to Kate for three years because she dropped out of NYU, and my father refused to support me because I changed my name to Rooney as my middle name. In my career as an actor, in order to maintain my life, I had to accept invitations for several vase roles." Rooney, who also came from a wealthy family, completely empathized with Renly's words, and a few words built a bridge between the two.

Renly didn't mention the details of Philip's incident, nor did he mention the oppression of George and Elizabeth, but he didn't need to mention these processes and details at all, Rooney could feel the sad loss from the results, the important thing is not the process. , but the harm that those things caused to Renly, and it also came from the bondage and entanglement of the original family.

"Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

Because those problems can find solutions directly: money, the answer has been determined; but beyond this, those questions about morality, ethics, emotion... and even life and death and the soul, their answers are ever-changing, there is no A correct answer, or even no answer, is the most terrifying.

The family of origin belongs to the latter.

"Perhaps, the only thing I'm luckier than you is that I don't have a hereditary title, or that I'm a girl?" Rooney interpreted it from an alternative perspective.

This made Renly raise the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure it's not because you were born in the United States?" The historical and cultural comparison between the United States and the United Kingdom seems to be more meaningful.

Although there is no context, although there is no succession, but when Renly hummed the song "Brooklyn" softly, Rooney really understood:

That's not "Brooklyn," it's "London," or..."Home."

But Renly's singing was interrupted by the intruder, Rooney used a little joke to defuse the atmosphere, and when the emotions settled down, Rooney asked, "When are you going to go back to London?"

In the song, Renly burns down the bridge to Brooklyn, but in reality, he will return to London himself, make a break for the matter with both hands, and perhaps destroy his own bridge home. Although Renly didn't say it, Rooney was keenly aware:

She knew how painful and difficult it was, just as she moved to Los Angeles and didn't return to New York until last year. Even so, up to now, she still hasn't been able to burn the bridge, just looking at the "Brooklyn" across the bridge.

If it is possible, no one wants to do it, and no one wants to do it. Although everyone is destined to be alone, human life is always about loneliness and confrontation, isn't it? When witnessing the burning of the bridge leading to the homeland, only oneself can know the kind of tragic and tragic: after all, there are few who are born cold-blooded.

"Soon." Renly didn't give an accurate answer, but gave a positive answer anyway.

Rooney let out a small breath, "I'm always here."

The corner of Renly's mouth rose slightly. "I know." After a short pause, he added, "Thank you for staying here."

"My pleasure." It wasn't eachother, it wasn't sweet talk, but it was a joke. No wonder they all said that couples will gradually become more and more alike after they have been together for a long time, just like Renly and Rooney.
