Hollywood Domination Chapter 233: Who is the villain?
Answer? How does one answer this?
It may be because of the special environment in which she grew up, and the living environment after marriage is not the kind that makes people lose their temper at will. Jenny is not a very emotional person. In fact, her self-control ability and superficial skills She has always been quite strong. It can be said that most of the time, she will consider the possible reaction of the other party before saying a word, and rarely blurt out without thinking. But at this moment, Chris's provocative attitude seemed to be a torch, igniting raging anger in her heart-of course she knew that after Chris asked a question, he would definitely expect an answer, but the problem lies in Here, he wants to answer that this is normal, but can't he say it properly? What did she owe him? Where did he get the confidence to speak with such a sense of superiority?
"Answer?" she asked back, putting down the knife and fork, "give me a few days? God, Chris, you sound like a debt-seeking thug. Is there a debt between us? ?”
Chris rubbed the bridge of his nose, then spread his hands in a soothing gesture, "ok, ok, I understand."
Although he said calming words, his expression could not be said to be softening anyway. Instead, it seemed that a larger-scale outbreak was brewing. Jenny's anger was aroused even more vigorously, and she pushed the dinner plate aside, "You What do you understand? Do you mind enlightening me with your outstanding wisdom?"
The conversation between the two people has reached this point, and a quarrel is inevitable. This is the first time since they dated. There are more exciting occasions, which have never happened before. Instinctively, Jenny adopts an aggressive attitude. She is disgusted by Chris's condescending, seemingly superior posture.
"What do I understand?" Chris raised his voice too, looking sullen and resentful, as if there were many emotions and grievances that had been buried for a long time - simply put, as if the grievances were deep and now endured He couldn't help but wanted to vent it all at once, but based on his own demeanor and politeness, he still restrained himself vigorously, so that he didn't lose his composure in front of her. "Are you sure you want to start this topic? What do I understand? Ugh——"
His emotions seemed to have a small outburst suddenly, Chris picked up the table knife and threw it on the ground, and said fiercely, "I really don't know how you can ask, it's so difficult to be an adult Admit it, Jenny—you've never thought about it, not once in the past three months, and you're so afraid of bringing up the subject that you almost avoid it. It's ridiculous! Why didn't you complain about my leaving early just now? You should want it, I can see that you want it, but you held back and didn't say it, why? Tell me why?"
In front of his endless venting, Jenny seemed a little lacking in momentum, and Chris's words did hit her weakness. She couldn't organize an effective counterattack for a while, so she could only let Chris continue to talk. The Jedi vented his dissatisfaction, "Because you don't want to give me a chance at all, right? You don't want to cut your working hours at all, so you don't dare to complain that we spend less time together-ohgod, you don't care about this matter So immature, so selfish, I don't know how long you want to escape—"
"Immature?" If it was just back in 2001, maybe her mind would go blank when she accused Chris of being imposing, and she didn't know how to answer, but after getting along with Cesare over the years , and his continuous training and exercise, Jenny is very familiar with this highly confrontational scene. She instinctively wanted to fight for the dominance of the scene, and interrupted Chris forcefully, "Selfish? I'm sorry , Chris, anyone can say that about me, but you can't-do you think your current practice is any better?"
She stopped Chris from answering in warning, and continued to say sharply, "Your statement is simply too typical of emotional manipulation. You asked me a question, a question related to my career and my life. If I don't answer, I will suddenly become a sinner? What are you going to do next, count your kindness and devotion to me, and make me feel Guilty? It's a free relationship, read my lips Chris, I'm free! You ask a question, I can answer you, or I don't answer, I don't know where you feel I hurt You. Why don't you think about yourself? What keeps me avoiding conversations that bring up this topic? It's you!"
She felt a burst of uncontrollable anger, which made her want to tear something up to vent. Jenny resisted the urge to throw something on the ground like Chris, and continued to say coldly, "Yes, I admit, the past few days For months, our connection was very stiff, and we were all smiling on the phone, trying to maintain a superficial calm. I was already very tired from work, and I couldn't rest for almost 24 hours, and talking to you couldn't relax me at all. , but it makes me feel the pressure constantly. Where do you think the pressure comes from? It's you! I can feel your anticipation, your impatience, I can feel you staring at me all the time, hoping that I can answer you "Okay" ', you can't even take 'no', or 'I need to think again', you are always so pushy, every step of the way in our relationship! - Chris, I feel like you think if I answer 'no ', then I just don't know what to do!"
"And that's because I sense you're so repelled by the idea!" Chris exclaimed, standing up and pacing frantically across the plush carpet, "God, I can't believe we This conversation is happening and it's so contrived it would put most daytime soaps to shame - but yeah! I don't want to take 'no' for an answer because what I'm proposing is a very fair offer if you love me ——If you really want this relationship, why would you say no? And this is what we are talking about, feeling!"
He pushed the table back so there was no more screen between them, and almost in a fit of rage and frustration—as if admitting it had hurt his ego—said, "That's how I feel, Jenny. , we've been together—I don't know, a year and a half? Two years? It's been over a year since it was a closed relationship, but I've never felt like you loved me!"
For people who are usually in contact with tens of millions of dollars in business experience, high-tech shooting technology, scripts and acting skills, the word love seems fresh and strange, and it seems to destroy the atmosphere. Even Chris, after speaking Afterwards, he was stunned for a moment, his aura weakened, and the scowl on his handsome face no longer showed depression and sadness, "You changed me, Jenny, you completely and completely changed me. In the past two In the past few years, I have been attracted to you like a moth to a flame, and the changes I made for you made me completely different—I changed myself almost completely to suit you, but what do you know?"
Chris shook his head, "It still doesn't make me feel safe, it just makes me feel very pathetic. All the changes I made were just to not be abandoned by you - in our relationship, I feel Without your love, care and dependence, I can't feel anything from you, except some frivolous favors, you are so—"
He lowered his head and rubbed his face to adjust his emotions. Jenny saw that his eyes were red-this kind of emotional expression would have made people feel a little embarrassed, but Chris's performance was so sincere that he As for not being unnatural, "It's like falling in love with a robot, an ice sculpture, all the responses you gave me are reasonable, everyone said I found a good girlfriend, I found a suitable Settled down, but I just can't feel the emotion from your response Jenny, that's what we're talking about, feelings."
"I..." Jenny said, her ears were still buzzing. If Chris had been strong and angry, maybe she wouldn't have been so at a loss, but now that he started to show weakness, she was a little at a loss. "Why would you think that? If I don't like you, I don't—uh—love you."
She said this strange vocabulary awkwardly, "Then why am I with you? This is a free world, Chris, we are together is the result of the choice of both parties, why are you so unconfident in yourself ?”
"I don't know," Chris said. He seemed irritated by Jenny's attitude, and his tone gradually became tough again. "No, I don't believe it—I need proof."
"I don't need to prove anything to anyone," Jenny's shoulders tensed again defensively, but when she saw Chris's red eye circles, she suddenly softened, and put down her airs again, "You want to What do I prove? Promise you to start planning our future and settle down with you?"
Chris raised one eyebrow silently, looked at her silently, Jenny sighed, "It's not that I don't want to agree, I just didn't think about it-well, I just didn't want to agree, but that doesn't mean It means I have no feelings for you, Chris, it's just..."
She was looking for a reason, somewhat flustered, "It's just that maybe I haven't reached the age where I want to settle down, maybe just like you before, I never thought that I would have a family. And it's not that simple, Your request will limit the scope of my filming, and now there are fewer and fewer films shooting in Los Angeles-"
She returned to the field she was familiar with, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. It is true that Jenny had not considered this matter systematically before, but the reason was indeed very pragmatic. , I’m not like you. I mainly focus on low-cost literary and artistic films. The shooting time is not long. Even if I stay in Los Angeles, it is easy to cover the cost. What I shoot are all big productions with a long cycle. Chris, for you to comply This agreement is not difficult, it is more beneficial to you—"
"You mean, the reason why you don't want to agree is because," Chris was already expressionless, he cut off Jenny's statement, "You think this agreement is more biased towards me, which is very unfavorable to you."
Jenny felt that something was inappropriate, but she did not deny it. Although she was still not sure whether she could accept the future of marrying and having children with Chris, at least for now, the reason why she could not agree to this was indeed the case. According to this agreement, the same itinerary as in 2007 and 2008 is completely unacceptable, and this is an unacceptable waste of time for her.
"You can think so." She nodded, folded her arms defensively, and added, "And it is true."
"Allow me to make a reasoning." Chris said, he kept fiddling with the fork in his hand, clenched and loosened his fist on it, "You, the reason why you have been avoiding this topic is because you think that career The smooth development of the company is more important than our relationship—it’s not that you want to give up the company, it’s not that you want to return to your family. Thinking about our future, the time we spend together, and building a family may be more important.”
His tone became more and more sarcastic, and this made Jenny very uncomfortable. She raised her chin and did not continue to deny or explain anything, "If you want to think so, you can—and it is true, stay In Los Angeles, you can continue to make films and win awards, but for me-"
"Shutup!" Chris roared, his voice has exceeded the decibels of normal communication, and turned into a roar. Jenny flinched uncomfortably, and narrowed her eyes again, resisting the ensuing loud noise. Rumble—Chris overturns the dining table. "Shutup, shutdown, juuthup!"
His expression can only be described as fury, he still maintains the posture of overturning the dining table, his chest heaves up and down violently, and he still holds a fork in his hand. It seems almost funny, but of course Jenny doesn't think Ridiculous, in fact, she doesn't feel sad or scared, her stress response has surpassed these emotions - Chris seems to have lost his mind with anger, and he is a big man over six feet with a regular exercise habit , At such a time, the instinct of survival takes the upper hand, and the emotion of self-preservation has overwhelmed everything.
She closed her mouth, looked at the few directions she could escape, and then glanced at her mobile phone. Jenny snatched the mobile phone and held it tightly. This thing really gave her a strong feeling. The sense of security, however, let her breathe a sigh of relief, Chris quickly calmed down, he let out a breath, his shoulders gradually relaxed, his clenched fists gradually relaxed, and most importantly, his eyes changed .
It’s hard to describe his eyes specifically. Chris has been in love with many actresses on the screen, and he has acted in romantic scenes and expressed his heartbreak. It couldn't be compared with the look in his eyes now, he kept shaking his head, as if he just woke up from a dream, "you're unbelievable, seriously, you, are, unbelievable."
Chris started backing away—and when he got to the bed, he picked up his phone, broke eye contact with Jenny, turned and strode toward the door.
Jenny stood there looking at his back, she suddenly felt a strong regret, she shouted, "Chris!"
Chris stopped at the door, clenched his hand on the wooden door, but let it go again, and when he spoke, his tone was a suppressed ease.
"When the media know the news, I know what they will say." He turned his head against the wooden door, gritted his teeth and laughed, "They will say that I hurt you, I played with you, I It's the bad boy who picks up the good girl, I'm all about sex, I play around, I don't even think about taking responsibility, typical Chris, I'm the jerk, you're the poor girl who gave her heart and got played, it's me Cynically hurt the sweethearts of America, the living American Dream.”
Chris pushed open the door, his eyes were cold, "But I know who is the villain in this relationship, j.j, and I, know, who is the heartless bastard."
Jenny watched him walk out of the room, watched him slam the door, she even flinched from the expected loud noise, but somewhat ironically, the hotel door has been carefully maintained, and the lock is gentle and silent It bounced into the door frame without making a sound.
