1381 Peace of mind
"...I don't want to go in." Melissa stood at the door of "Pilot Village", but her legs and knees couldn't help but start to tremble.
She had no choice, but she still couldn't do it.
That nightmare was only thirty minutes ago, and all the details were still vivid. Now she was about to pretend that nothing had happened and reappeared in front of Lan Li. She had no choice. This was really terrible. Even if she just imagined it in her mind, she wanted to turn around and leave quickly.
Black Jenner stood aside. If possible, he wanted to give up Melissa completely and truly let her accept this lesson and sound the alarm for the future, but he still couldn't bear it.
Especially when he looked at Melissa's pear blossoms with rainy expression, his pupils were swaying in panic, full of deep fear. What else could he do? This is the woman he loved deeply, and this is the woman he was willing to promise to accompany him for his whole life.
After walking forward, Black hugged Melissa in his arms, gently patted Melissa's back, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Didn't Lanli say that he won't pursue it?"
"No, he said, this is the last time." Melissa recalled Renli's words again, and her voice began to tremble word by word.
Black opened his mouth slightly.
To put it objectively, with Lanli's current status, third-tier and fourth-tier actors like them are insignificant as if they were ants, and they did not need deliberate punishment at all. They could easily kill many of them in a day; but Lanli gave Melissa the "last" chance, which was already a blessing in disgrace. Black thought that after the incident was exposed, Melissa was fired from the crew on the spot.
But such words were still not able to be said, "Then do you mean, do you want to quit the crew?" Black asked as softly as possible.
Melissa suddenly raised her head, bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Black with great grief.
Black knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly comforted him, "Then there are only two choices now. Either I go in now, beat Renley hard, vent my anger for you, and tell him not to bully my woman casually; or we pretend that nothing has happened, enter the crew, and devote ourselves to the filming of this work, and seize this opportunity."
Melissa opened her mouth slightly and pounded Black's chest hard. After venting the depression in her chest, she finally understood. She was stunned for a moment in a while, lowered her head and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, "Is this okay for me? Can I go in now? Will they see the clues?"
"It's okay. I'll tell them that you just kicked the toe to the table..." Black tried to make a joke and changed the atmosphere, but Melissa stepped on her toe and rushed to her mouth and swallowed the words, "I mean, we just quarreled this morning, and I made you angry, so I made a special trip to escort you here. If it's convenient, stay today. If it's inconvenient, I'll wait for you to finish reading the script before picking you up and making up for your mistakes."
Melissa then felt a little relieved and agreed with her.
Turning around, Melissa looked at the door behind her. Before she could stretch out her hand, she could feel the heavy weight. After all, she still couldn't muster up the courage to push the door open. She could only make way for a little, hide behind Black, and handed over the heavy responsibility of charging to Black.
Black couldn't help but take a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to open the door. A cool breeze blew over the face. It was not a breeze created by the air conditioner, but a coolness revealed after the tide of the stone building in midsummer, mixed with a gentle breeze that made the whole room open.
There was a constant sound of conversation in the air. No one noticed the appearance of Black and Melissa. The discussion continued to heat up, which made both of them feel a little relieved. Under Black's instructions, Melissa took a step, walked out of the blocking space of the door panel, and appeared in front of everyone.
The wind is calm.
The entire crew was calm and there was nothing unusual at all. Occasionally, someone noticed Melissa's appearance, signaled with a look or a smile, and then he went into his conversation again, as if... it was as if something had never happened in the morning, or rather - Lanley had never revealed any words.
Melissa looked around carefully, fearing that she would overlap with Lan Li's gaze inadvertently, so her pupils would shrink from time to time, and she was ready to dodge her eyes at all times. She looked around hard, but she did not see Lan Li's figure, which made her feel at ease and nervous.
Rest assured because Renly is not here; nervous because... Does this mean that Renly is complaining with the director or producer?
The mentality of worrying about gains and losses made Melissa firmly grasp Black's arm, looking for more sense of security.
Black was also looking for Renley's figure, and then he gestured slightly with his chin, "There's the place."
Looking along Black's eyes, Melissa saw Renly and Damien sitting in the corner.
The two sat quietly beside each other, Lanley was talking and expressing her opinions, while Damien was listening carefully, which made Melissa's heart suddenly shrink, "He is complaining, he is complaining! That's it, absolutely! I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!"
Melissa turned around instantly and tried to escape, but Black still grabbed her arm in time, "Now that's how things are, and escaping cannot solve the problem unless you are ready to quit the crew. What's more, I don't think that Lan Li is a hypocrite who is untrustworthy. Once he promises, things will end there, and he will definitely do it."
Melissa still refused to believe it, muttering something, and she seemed frightened and uneasy.
Black patted Melissa's back of her hand, hugged her fiancee into her arms again, trying to calm her down with the temperature of her chest, "Let's go over and say hello." Seeing Melissa about to resist, Black added, "I'll accompany you. If something happens, I'll handle it, okay?"
Melissa's eyes revealed a struggle, but she finally bit her lower lip and nodded in agreement.
After agreeing, Melissa's steps could hardly be taken. As heavy as a pound, Black was helpless. The two of them walked towards the location where Renly and Damien were, and their voices gradually became clearer.
“…In my opinion, the tutor is not just a teacher, the teacher-student relationship positioning is special.
First of all, he is a professional authority, and his abilities and talents are unquestionable. You not only admire but also admire you, so when he chooses you, you can naturally feel joy and happiness. The desire to be recognized makes your behavior begin to be bound, and you unconsciously follow his ideas, his wishes, and his guidance.
Secondly, he is a domineering and powerful man. His temper and character are straightforward, with no room for maneuvering, and no buffering space. Just like gunpowder, either detonating or extinguishing, no other possibility, or in other words, black or white, either correct or wrong. In his dictionary, there is no adjective of ‘good’, ‘okay’. This makes your living space be oppressed step by step when you get along.”
Lan Li was talking nonstop and she looked full of thought.
Lanli and Damien sat face to face. They could notice the appearance of Melissa and Black from the bottom of their eyes, but Lanli focused all her attention on the discussion and did not notice the movements next to her. Damien noticed the changes in the surrounding environment slightly, but he didn't have time to pay attention and just glanced at it.
Then, Damien looked at Lan Li again and said seriously, "So, why did I choose to resist in the end? If the teacher is an admirable absolute power? Shouldn't it be that I followed the teacher's footsteps and moved forward and grew step by step towards the teacher's role model?"
Melissa grabbed Black's right hand tightly, and her whole body was extremely tense. She knew that Lanli did it on purpose, Lanli did it on purpose, he deliberately ignored him, he deliberately neglected himself in order to retaliate against what had just happened. If she continued to stay, Lanli would continue to take revenge.
escape.
This is the only thought in Melissa's mind now, especially when she recalls Lan Li's cold and distant eyes, Melissa shudders even more. Her only thought is to escape from here as soon as possible. She can't think about it. Her only thought is to go far away. She doesn't need this work, she doesn't need to develop her career and run away. This is the only thought she has when jogging now.
But Black grabbed Melissa's left hand firmly and stood still, stopping Melissa from escaping in panic. Her eyes were locked on Renly and Damien, as if she was looking for a suitable opportunity to prepare for it and then went forward to say hello; however, this was not easy, because the discussion between Renly and Damien was becoming more and more intense and profound, and she could not understand at all.
"Have you known about Oedipus in ancient Greek mythology? Many people understand that this is a love/mother/plot, but at the same time, it also hides the father-killing complex of ancient Greek culture." Faced with Damien's confusion, Lanli continued to expand his thinking and further explored the theme core of "explosive drummer". "In my opinion, the relationship between Andrew and Fletcher is first from the pursuit and achievements of art, and secondly there is the father-killing complex from ancient Greek mythology. In this tense and entangled mood, the drum rhythm of the movie is pushed to the extreme."
