"Renly, you know you're an asshole, right?"
Arthur laughed dumbly, and quietly complained, not in a tone of reproach, but with a slight sigh, the sadness and sigh revealed between the lines made the sound of the slow flow of time clear, but Arthur and Renly just Sitting face to face like this, I felt the comfort and warmth of family like never before, like... like the scene when Renly and Edith were together.
If Edith had said that, Renly would have replied "yes" calmly, but now facing Arthur, the thoughts of complaining and teasing are always surging.
So Renly shrugged lightly and replied solemnly, "I think we're used to communicating with reason, not chicken soup for the soul."
The answer just now was really cold and direct, and I didn't feel much temperature. "If you like, I can pretend to be a priest, listen to your confession, and tell you that no matter what you choose, God will love you."
Arthur's smile stopped at the corner of his mouth like this, and he stared at Renly with a hopeless expression. The resentful eyes made Renly's eyebrows rise slightly, and the pride and satisfaction after the prank succeeded quietly. In the eyes, Renly did not continue to torture Arthur.
After a short pause, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, Renly considered his words, and said seriously, "Everyone of us is making choices all the time, some choices are smaller, some choices are bigger. But these choices are all the same, there is no so-called right or wrong, because time cannot be reversed, and decisions cannot be regretted.
"Have you ever wondered what would have happened if I hadn't been able to make it, and I'd just been rolling off Broadway or on TV screens, being a little supporting actor or extra that no one knew about, and then coming back to London in disarray ? I really thought about it."
"I am also afraid. But this kind of fear still can't stop my belief that I want to fulfill my dream, so I do it. Life is always like this, we are afraid of the unknown, and some unknowns can really change the world , but some unknowns are not worth mentioning at all, the only certainty is that the unknown will always be the unknown until we try.”
"I don't know what your fear is, and I don't know how horrible it is. But if you ask me for my opinion, the only thing I can say is that fear and regret only stop us and continue to torment Own."
Not just Arthur, not just Renly, in fact, Heather, Edith, Elf, George and Elizabeth, and everyone in life. Everyone is responsible for the life they choose to live. Some people complain and regret the beginning, while others are resolute and move forward.
The so-called character determines fate, not because character can urge better and more correct choices, but because after making a choice, character can determine one's attitude towards life.
"I'm not your answer, Charlie," said Renly softly. "Only you know the answer."
Charlie, that's Arthur's middle name. It had been a long, long time since he had heard Renly call himself that, and it felt a little strange.
Arthur chewed the words carefully. Those truths are not difficult. Everyone knows the so-called chicken soup for the soul, but from Renly's mouth, the meaning and weight seem to be different.
He hated chatting with Renly, because Renly was always too sharp and too thorough, and tended to tear the mask mercilessly and hit the nail on the head; but he also liked chatting with Renly, because Renly always knew what he should say What, seemingly bland words can always be just right.
"Sebastian, everyone knows the truth, but not everyone can do it." Arthur showed a wry smile.
Renly nodded affirmatively. In fact, why wasn't he like this in his last life? Everyone has their own weaknesses and shackles, bystanders always say it easily, only the authorities know how difficult everything is, "So you asked me for help, not Elf."
As Renly just said, Arthur has made a choice deep inside.
Arthur didn't speak, the appetizer was already served, he grabbed the knife and fork and started to enjoy his salad.
Renly didn't say anything more, grabbed the knife and fork as well, and began to enjoy his own French snails.
Almost no sound can be heard on the desktop, only the sound of the knife and fork accidentally touching the disk can be vaguely captured, but it is only a faint trace. The silence is a little depressing, but it also outlines the difficult The elegance of words, everything is a habit developed after years of training.
After the appetizers are finished, before the main food comes up, there is still a small gap. This is the time specially reserved by the restaurant for the guests to chat and prepare - this is why a regular meal must start from two hours or even four. Conversation is not allowed during meals, and the time between dishes is dedicated to conversation.
"When are you going to Venice?" Arthur said again, but it was no longer the sad topic just now. In the short silence of the appetizer, Arthur seemed to have vicissitudes in his mind.
"Next week." Renly stepped back quietly, back to where they belonged - a little strange, a little alienated, but in the end, they were more familiar than strangers.
Arthur raised his chin in surprise.
Dawu's expression, "I heard the news before, this time your work will be the opening film, but it will not participate in the main competition unit, so you need to arrive in Venice early, is that so?"
Renly nodded affirmatively and explained simply, "Venice still wants us to participate in the main competition, but Warner Bros. disagrees. They are worried about affecting the box office."
There seems to be a general consensus in the industry and outside the industry that the three major film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice are still the stage for the display of works of art, even Cannes, which has the strongest commercial atmosphere, is no exception. And the recognition of the film selection committee, if you can win the award, then it will definitely enter the system of the awards season immediately.
All of this seems to have gradually become a customary practice. Exactly the opposite of commercial films.
Take "The Great Gatsby" as an example. This work is also produced and distributed by Warner Bros. They position the film as an artistic commercial film. "Art" is an adjective prefix, and "business" is the subject. In other words, Warner Bros. still has huge expectations for the movie box office.
As a result, "The Great Gatsby" landed at the Cannes Film Festival as the opening film, which opened the curtain of this year's film festival, but the film did not enter the main competition unit, making a clear distinction with art films.
First, Warner Bros. can use the platform of the film festival, the exposure rate is guaranteed, and good word-of-mouth feedback will also help the follow-up publicity work; Give the audience the illusion of "quality assurance" and further create space for the box office.
In fact, with the commercialization of the film market, the three major European film festivals now often make compromises and open with artistic commercial films to create popularity and attract attention, even the Berlin Film Festival is no exception.
At the beginning of this year, Berlin chose "The Grandmaster" as the opening film - but did not participate in the main competition unit; and Cannes went even further. In order to create a topic, even without considering the quality of the work, it often selected big-name actors or big-name directors. The blockbuster is used as the opening film - anyway, it does not participate in the main competition unit, just to create a topic.
Of course, the works that also serve as the opening film and the main competition unit, although not many, exist objectively. For example, the 2018 Venice Film Festival chose Alfonso Cuaron's new work "Roma" as the opening film, but it is also the most important entry in the main competition unit.
This time, "Gravity", Warner Bros. is positioned as a commercial film, but the artistic temperament of Alfonso and Renly is the biggest guarantee of film quality. After missing Cannes, Warner Bros. sent the film to Venice, Toronto, and finally New York, paving the way for three consecutive film festivals, accumulating word of mouth step by step and preparing for the explosion of the box office.
So, despite the best efforts of Alberto Barbera, the new chairman of the Venice Film Festival, to invite him, he even went to the United States to talk face-to-face and show sincerity, hoping to convince Warner Bros. Gravity" entered the main competition unit.
The reason is very simple. Renly has just achieved egot, and he already has the best actor in Berlin and the best actor in Cannes. If "Gravity" enters the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, then there is also the possibility of Renly's best actor grand slam. , is bound to detonate the attention of all media, which is self-evident for Venice, which has just undergone a change of dynasty.
Still, Warner Bros. refused without any wiggle room.
They don't care if Renly is able to complete the Best Actor Grand Slam, they don't care what the Venice Film Festival is facing, the only thing they care about is whether the movie is a big box office success.
Especially after the new official Kevin Tsujihara took office, he is now in a period of turmoil and chaos. He needs to replace all key positions with his direct lineage and complete the notification from top to bottom, so he is even more reluctant to give in.
So, things took shape as they are now.
Arthur suddenly mentioned the Venice Film Festival, and Renly vaguely captured some details, but Arthur did not speak, and Renly did not take the initiative to break it. There are some things and some decisions, after all, you still need to take the last step by yourself.
