"Sorry, Ryan."

Renly-Hall, after much deliberation and after audition talks, Rodrigo finally decided to give the role of Paul to Renly.

Rodrigo clearly knew that this was an adventure, and he gave up the first choice in his heart and the social advantage that Ryan had, all of which would undoubtedly put "Buried Alive" into an embarrassing situation; but again, Rodrigo He also made clear his goals. This is a work that can be a classic. He does not want to give up the quality of the work itself for the so-called commercial promotion prospects.

Renly's performance managed to impress him, convince him, and even bring unexpected inspiration, and he had no reason to say no.

It was a dilemma, but Rodrigo has no regrets. For independent films, quality is always the first benchmark, not star power or commercial value.

The words were finally spoken, without much hesitation, Rodrigo thought it would be very difficult, but after speaking, he felt relieved, and he could clearly hear the sound of a big stone falling, which made him even more determined, " Thank you so much for coming to New York in person and giving so many valuable opinions. However, the film has decided to sign another actor."

Ryan's expression was obviously stunned, and the stiff smile at the corner of his mouth could hardly be maintained. He smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, what does this mean? What does it mean to decide to sign with another actor?"

Rodrigo thought about it seriously and decided to tell the truth, "After the conversation and understanding just now, I think that there are more suitable candidates for the role of Paul Conroy."

Ryan's smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but he could hardly maintain it, his face darkened little by little, and it was not much better than the bottom of the pot. Rodrigo's words were like a slap in the face, slapped hard on his face, and it was hot and painful.

Rodrigo's words couldn't help but paused slightly, but still explained, "You can come to New York in person, this is undoubtedly a great honor for me, and I still feel a little unreal. But work is work. , The filming of 'Buried Alive' will encounter many challenges. The complexity and depth of Paul's role is far beyond imagination. You are an excellent actor, no, you are a great actor—— Otherwise I wouldn't have personally invited you, but you're not the best actor for Paul."

Ryan only felt that his cheek was hurting badly. Just now, he was still pointing out the country and coming up with his own ideas for the script and structure of "Buried Alive". I felt as if I had been stripped naked, and I was naked on the spot to show the public. The sense of shame started from the soles of my feet and burned all the way to the top of my head.

"Sorry." Rodrigo expressed his apology again. His sincere attitude was not only professional, but also sincere. It can be seen that he was completely out of professional considerations, without any personal factors involved.

It was this profession that humiliated him severely and kept him from getting angry.

He, Ryan Reynolds, has been an actor for nearly ten years. Last year, he was successful with "Wolverine" and "Fake Marriage", but was rejected by an independent work with an investment of less than three million US dollars? He also rushed to New York from Los Angeles in person, just to express his importance, but was rejected? What's worse, is this still rejected after the audition is over after the other party has offered an invitation? For professional reasons?

Ryan clenched his teeth, still unable to resist the urge to clench his fists, the muscles under the suit were shaking slightly, maintaining the smile that had almost begun to twist, words were squeezed out from the gaps between the teeth word by word , "As you said, work is work. I can understand that."

"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to working with you, and I hope the next work will have a chance." Rodrigo said sincerely.

"Of course. Of course." Ryan nodded again and again, and paused, "Wait, you just said that I'm not the best actor for Paul?" Ryan is a little dizzy now, and all his thoughts are focused on his rejection. In fact, I even forgot to ask who is more suitable.

Rodrigo hesitated for a moment, and his words were very careful, "There is no doubt about your excellence. However, after discussion, we think that Paul should be a more blue-collar, rougher, and more unruly character. Obviously , you have a superhero temperament in you, which is slightly different from the setting."

Ryan knew that these were all nonsense. Obviously, Rodrigo didn't want to offend him, and naturally he didn't want to tell the truth. He took a deep breath, but the boiling in his chest still couldn't calm down, so he had to take a deep breath again, "Haha." With a dry smile To cover up his anxiety and anger, "So... um..." His brain couldn't even function properly, "So, who was the last actor you chose? Do I know him?"

Rodrigo hesitated. Now that Ryan is angry and has just been rejected, the timing is obviously not right; what's more, if he told Ryan that he ended up choosing Renly - Renly who had just finished his audition, he could not predict whether Ryan's anger would affect "Buried Alive" "The next shot.

"Haha." Rodrigo also exaggeratedly laughed twice, hiding his emotions, "We are just an independent film, how could it attract so many famous actors? To be honest, I miss you, and I am still Heartburn."

The words of praise did not make Ryan calm down. He lost, no matter how he painted the peace, he lost.

"Scarlett." Rodrigo caught Scarlett's figure out of the corner of his eyes, as if he saw the savior, and hurriedly called out, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Scarlett was surrounded by a few young people, talking excitedly, holding the book that had just been signed in her hand, Scarlett smiled at them, and then walked over, "You guys are over. Work?" Scarlett put her hands on Ryan's shoulders, but noticed that Ryan's shoulders were terribly tight, but she didn't mention anything and said quietly, "So can we go to the exhibition now? ?" Scarlett lay beside Ryan's ear, accentuating her tone, "Remember? We still have an exhibition to watch today."

This sentence finally made Ryan recover a little sanity, "Of course, of course I didn't forget it." Ryan also stood up and hugged Scarlett's waist, "Rodrigo, today's conversation was very pleasant. Keep in touch."

A simple sentence, but Scarlett heard the overtones - could it be said that "buried alive" was not negotiated? Otherwise why not keep in touch, but "can" keep in touch?

The three exchanged polite greetings again, and then Ryan and Scarlett left the lobby of the youth hostel together. Ryan returned to his usual demeanor and even said hello to the others in the lobby, and even in moments like these, fan service was never forgotten.

Walking into the courtyard, Ryan saw the actor who didn't know his name just now, with a shallow smile on his face, like Mu Chun/Wind, but he didn't like it, he just wanted to give that face ruthlessly One punch.

"Hey, is the audition over?" The other party took the initiative to say hello, but Ryan didn't want to respond at all. He just nodded without a smile and didn't speak. .

Suddenly, an incredible thought flashed in Ryan's mind: The last actor Rodrigo used was the one in front of him, right?

As soon as the idea came up, Ryan immediately rejected it, "No, no, absolutely impossible." Then Ryan burst into laughter, feeling that he was a bit overwhelmed.

How could it be this nasty guy in front of him? He looks like a vase full of straws, nothing but the skin, most likely just one of the millions of ordinary people here in New York who want to be actors, and the reason why he stays here is Because the hope is slim, it is still stalking. This is the most reasonable explanation.

Ryan twitched the corners of his mouth in relief. It seemed that he had hit too hard today, and he started to think wildly. He needed to be quiet.

Thinking of this, Ryan felt some pity for the unknown person in front of him, which reminded him of when his career as an actor was just starting, and he wandered around doing nothing, just hoping to get a chance to perform, even if it was just an audition, but the reality is often hurt.

So Ryan nodded to the guy, expressing his sympathy.

Scarlett's eyes fell on Renly's body, and her eyes gradually became deeper. Inexplicably, she felt that this guy must have won the role. There is no reason, it's just a sixth sense intuition.

Scarlett felt that things started to get interesting. Although Ryan did not have absolute strength, he had indeed made a name for himself, and he flew from Los Angeles to New York for an interview in person, showing enough sincerity that there was almost no reason for failure. However, the result was unexpected. So, what did this guy in front of him do?

Scarlett's eyes fell deeply on the guy, and she suddenly became curious about what the finished product of "Buried Alive" would look like.

Renly stood there, smiled politely at Ryan and Scarlett, and watched them leave the hostel.

When the two walked to the door, they stopped without warning and started to kiss affectionately. For those who know the ins and outs just now, they must be confused, why did they suddenly start kissing? But for those who don't know the situation, Ryan and Scarlett, who have just come out of the youth hostel, can hardly kiss themselves. Do things need to be explained?

Sure enough, two paparazzi appeared across the street and quickly pressed the shutter button to record the moment. Renly remembered Scarlett's joke just now, "Don't you know how to pose?"

Looking back, Renly saw Rodrigo standing at the entrance of the lobby, and he said loudly, "Renly, can we continue the conversation we didn't finish just now?"

"certainly."
