Mallory hurriedly stood up and helped the director down from the rope ladder.
The director did not speak again, her whole body was shaking, after going down to the top of the stone pillar and standing, her hands clutched Mallory's arm, and the grip made Mallory's arm hurt a little, so it was clear that her tension was extraordinary.
If she was not wearing a mask, it is estimated that her face is now written with fear.
"The director is not afraid, sit down will feel better." Mallory estimated that the director has never been on the stone pillar before, suddenly to this place will certainly be scared to death.
When he first woke up from his sleep and found himself on top of Stonehenge, he also had a time of immense fear.
This has nothing to do with guts, humans are not meant to be a species suitable for living at high altitude.
With Mallory's help, the director finally sat down with trepidation, sitting on Mallory's down jacket, one hand still holding Mallory's arm in a death grip, as if he feared he would fall from here if he let go.
"Do not be afraid, will not fall, do not look down, look to the sky." Mallory continued to comfort the director.
The director looked up to the sky, but her body still kept shaking. After a while, she realized that she had been holding on to Mallory for dear life, and let go of her hand in a hurry.
Mallory rubbed his arm ... this woman's hands are quite strong ha, pinching him so painful.
It is estimated that just now is driven by the fear instinct, put her milk strength are made out.
"Said to punish you to stay on the stone pillar for three days, how the run me this stone pillar up?" Mallory spoke to the director, distracting her.
The director did not squeal, just looked up at the sky, the whole person did not move.
"Ahem ..." Mallory reached out and touched her arm.
"Huh?" The director was startled for a moment, and only then looked at Mallory.
"It said you will be punished to stay on the stone pillar for three days, why are you running to this stone pillar of mine?" Mallory repeated the question he had just asked.
"I ... I do not know, they said ... assign me to the area dedicated to the punishment of film and television city insiders, the conditions will be harsher, you ... . how did you a group actor get here?" The director finally came back to his senses.
"I wouldn't have been mistaken for my birthplace, would I?" Mallory also felt that something wasn't quite right when he heard the director say that.
The stone pillar he was in was specifically for punishing people inside the film city?
The director did not squeal again, her body still shaking for a while.
You can imagine how complicated her inner emotions are at this time.
On the one hand, is the incomparable fear of heights, on the other hand, but also want to show the usual leadership majesty in front of the actors.
Unfortunately, the two are very contradictory, a female leader is difficult in front of male subordinates extremely scared at the same time to maintain their own majesty.
There is another important factor.
That is, this Stonehenge does not seem to be within the jurisdiction of Film City.
It can be said to be a place outside the law.
If Mallory dares to offend and attack her in Film City, she will be immediately subdued on the spot by her bodyguards and the security personnel in Film City.
But if Mallory attacked her here, she as a woman would be powerless to resist, it is simply to cry every day and not to cry.
This would be somewhat embarrassing.
Good thing Mallory didn't seem to have any intention of offending and attacking her.
"Where's your bed?" The director tried to calm down and took a bold look at the light stone pillar, as well as the three broken bed legs by the pillar.
Although he had never been to Stonehenge before, he had heard a lot about it, and when these group actors crossed over, they all came with at least one bed.
Why did Mallory only have bed legs? What did he do to his bed?
"First there was a civil aviation air crash, a flight attendant spun and crashed into my bed, the front half of her body flew out, two legs stayed on my bed, and then the tail of the plane followed and crashed over, taking her two legs and a third of my bed with it. And then later, flew a group of helicopter gunships, air combat around my stone pillar, completely smashed my bed ..." Mallory explained to the director.
The director turned his head and looked at the sky, apparently thinking Mallory was making up a story, and making it too exaggerated, too bizarre.
Mallory saw the director's reaction, and did not say more.
The story of the two legs of the flight attendant, he has never told anyone else.
When he told Robin about the helicopter gunship, Robin didn't believe him either.
It's no wonder the director didn't believe it, no one else would have believed it unless they experienced it all with Mallory himself.
The two men fell into another awkward silence.
"It's hot." The director kept fanning himself with his hand, it was too hot at the top of this stone pillar.
And hot abnormal, so high in the sky, should not be so hot, there should be a lot of wind, as if someone deliberately raised the temperature of the area, but forcibly closed all the air flow nearby.
"You need to take off your mask, or you'll have heat problems." Mallory gave the director a suggestion.
"No." The director immediately refused Mallory.
Mallory looked at the director and did not say anything more.
People who like to wear masks, especially those like her who hold the lowest leadership position in the film city, are mostly because they are not confident enough and want to use the mask to cover their expressions so that they can maintain their mystery and majesty in front of their subordinates.
She was worried that once the mask was removed, she could not control her expression when the group was no longer afraid of her, and thus could not calm the situation.
Like sometimes Mallory talk to the other actors to laugh when she also laugh, and then they see, the leader's majesty will be gone.
It is understandable.
Of course, there are two other possibilities, one is that she has been very badly hurt, only to hide behind a mask to feel safe. The second possibility is that she does have a problem with her looks, with scars on her face, or a crooked nose and slanted mouth.
In short, all three of these reasons are possible.
Noon time, the day is getting hotter and hotter, the sun is extremely uncomfortable, both of them are depressed and do not want to speak again.
...
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the wind picked up, the sky became more cloudy, and slowly the weather cooled down.
"Damn the weather, it's finally better." The director finally opened his mouth again.
"There may be thunderstorms in the evening." Mallory looked at the distant sky, but felt some not so good.
Like this hot day suddenly turned cold, most likely to thunderstorms.
The greater the temperature difference, the more violent the thunderstorm.
And after the thunderstorm, there is a high probability of turning into a blizzard.
Anyway, it is not a good weather.
"Thunderstorm rain? Will it thunder?" The director also glanced in the direction Mallory was looking.
"Well, like a cataclysm, right next to this stone pillar, thigh-thick ... no, bucket-thick, probably thicker lightning strikes down from high in the sky, everywhere." Mallory pointed around.
