1844 Tricky puzzle
The kid is tough, this is one of them.
Brand effect, this is the second.
What does this mean? To put it simply, in Hollywood, top people should not be offended easily, but the same should not be done to offend low-level workers..
Once the latter is offended, aside from the difficulties they can create in small details, the rumors they circulate within the industry can easily destroy the brand image of a public figure. Large companies and public figures in all walks of life Everyone should clearly know that brand image is a priceless treasure. It may take five or ten years to build a brand image, but it only takes a moment to destroy a brand image..
Everyone hates the behavior of being a big star. Even restaurant service staff may spit in their drinks when encountering deliberately difficult guests, let alone those working in the Hollywood industry.？
No one likes acting like a big name. Mariah Carey's reputation within the entire industry is already bad. Her acting like a big name is a textbook. Although her records still have a certain market, her career is declining rapidly. But it can't be stopped. However, Mariah Carey, who has been famous for many years, refuses to compromise and still goes her own way..
Now, Thomas Tull secretly arranged such a trick, which is comparable to Mariah Carey - or even more egregious than her. He can make Renly mute and unable to speak out, and then Renly's reputation will be ruined. Completely ruining the situation, among the lower-level staff, Renly may fall into a dilemma little by little, destroying Renly's reputation from the root..
Of course, Renly's real ability lies in performance, just like Mariah Carey's singing voice. As long as his ability is still there, he will not be unemployed or eliminated, and he can even stay at the top of the industry for many years; but The reputation in the industry is good or bad, but it is a heavy blow to Renly's brand image. Once this kind of thing is tarnished, it cannot be washed away..
If Thomas is smart enough, he can also inform the top management of major Hollywood film companies about this matter, and put himself in a low-profile position to "praise" Renly, while the top management will be concerned about Renly's expansion and Arrogance will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction. This is how a good cooperative relationship becomes alienated little by little - even if the business cooperative relationship still exists, the personal relationship may be gradually destroyed..
On the surface, Thomas has pushed Renly to the altar; in fact, Thomas has pushed Renly to an island..
Even Renly couldn't help but want to applaud Thomas.！
It can be seen that Thomas may not have enough foresight in terms of the grand scheme of things, and there are still obvious shortcomings in the overall view and the overall situation; but in terms of intrigues, Thomas' small tricks and clever ideas are endless, making it difficult for people to guard against, especially Renly. This kind of aboveboard behavior makes it even easier to suffer losses..
Just like now, how should Renly respond?？
deny? And then argue that it's all Thomas's conspiracy? First, Renly has no evidence to prove that Thomas is responsible, but may fall into the suspicion of "quibble"; second, Thomas only needs to compromise and say, "This is not Renly's request," then Renly will really jump in. It can’t even be washed away in the Yellow River.
Most importantly, denial will not change the situation: the staff spent so much time and energy building this van, and now it is completely denied? So, will the staff blame Thomas or Renly? Or is it because of the dilemma of "whales fight and shrimp suffers" that you throw all your complaints to the two whales?？
accept? Then this plays into Thomas's hands, and he can further add fuel to the fire and make Renly's big-name behavior in the crew go to a higher extreme..
reject? This should be the first reaction of most people, but Renly's thinking is more profound..
It can be said that Renly has never been like this before, but after going through the ups and downs of this year's awards season, his position in the industry has become more and more stable. Coupled with the strong stunts of Sisyphus Films, maybe Renly will be. Has it started to expand this year? The experiences of the past years no longer count..
It can be said that Nina's understanding was wrong. This was not Renly's request. Let's not mention Thomas for the moment, but emphasize that it was a communication error. Renly could also list a series of facts to show that he would not make such a request at all. Leaving aside ridiculous requirements such as humidifiers and wine cabinets, just a bedroom and bed sheet sets are definitely not what Renly had in mind. Although he was born into a hereditary noble family, the Hall family could not afford Egyptian cotton. Instead, they installed Andre has such a pursuit.
However, Nina was guided by her preconceived ideas and found it difficult to change her fixed ideas. She might think that Renly "became a bitch and wanted to build a memorial monument"; maybe it was Renly who was pretending to reward them; or she might think that Renly was pretending to reward them. It's hypocritical and condescending... Simply put, all of Renly's explanations can be twisted into something else..
It can be said that Renly never asked for this and returned the van, so the efforts of Nina and the entire team were wasted. The van can be compensated with a check, but the time and energy of the staff were lost. There is no way to make up for it. Instead, it may give Renly the reputation of being "ignorant" and further promote his big-name style..
In short, none of Renly's subsequent reactions can perfectly solve the problem in front of him - at least, if Renly is Thomas, his backhand will never be merciful easily, otherwise the advantage he has finally established will be like this Give in.
Being in a dilemma, riding a tiger with difficulty getting off.
This is the situation Renly is facing now. If he wants to break the situation, reverse the situation, or even turn defeat into victory, Renly must find another way to break the rules. He cannot follow the route set by Thomas. Even if it is a road in Huashan, he must Choose a plan that Thomas didn't expect..
“Thank you." In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Renly's mind, and then he showed a friendly smile to Nina and sincerely expressed his gratitude..
No matter how Renly and Thomas' fight turns out, at least the staff are innocent, and their hardships need to be rewarded and praised accordingly..
Nina's first subconscious reaction was: hypocritical.
But Nina felt Renly's gaze, falling lightly and gently on her body. Her skin was slightly hot. She couldn't help but raise her neck. Because of the huge difference in height, she couldn't fully see Renly's facial expression. , but the soft curvature of the corners of the mouth and the bright light of the eyes outlined a vague outline in the slightly dim light inside the van, conveying that sincere emotion without the need for special expressions or gorgeous sentences..
Nina couldn't help but become a little embarrassed..
“……”"You're welcome" was muttered deep in her throat, but she only squeezed out a few meaningless syllables, and Nina felt a little embarrassed..
Withdrawing her gaze, Nina lowered her head slightly, covering her slightly hot cheeks, and secretly cursing herself in her heart: There is no future.！
No matter what, it is a good thing that their work can be affirmed and recognized. All the hard work was finally not in vain. Although she still disdained Renly's big-name behavior, the anger and complaints did not continue to spread after all, and they were sharp and complicated. The mood has also been slightly relieved.
Renly didn't say anything more. This was not the best time to explain. What's more, he had no intention of defending himself. He then asked, "Excuse me, can the crew also arrange a mobile food truck? Provide simple Coffee and bagel will do.”
What? Nina's expression was slightly stiff.
“I hope that the mobile food truck can be placed next to the van and be open every day according to the crew's working hours. In addition to breakfast and afternoon tea, the staff can come over at any time to enjoy a little relaxing time. I know how scary the crew work can be , the energy consumed is immeasurable, coffee is the last source of energy..”
Renly didn't seem to notice the change in Nina's expression, and continued with a smile..
“Put the dining car and the van together. They can rest and adjust in the van at any time. They can even say bad things about other colleagues and actors here, just like the pantry in the office. If necessary, you can I asked the other actors and staff if there is anything else that needs to be added. I think there should be something that can be added to the kitchen and wine cabinet..”
Nina's mind was a little confused, "But... but... isn't this your... uh, van?？”
“Of course, this is my van. But I am also a member of the crew, and I think this should be the public property of the crew." Renly said in simple words..
Nina's eyes once again showed surprise and suspicion: something is wrong! Spending two million dollars, but just to create a public property for the crew? Is this a joke? And it’s still a big joke！
Nina hesitated, then said, "We all appreciate your kindness, but I don't think it's a good idea." What exactly is Renly planning? She couldn't see through it, but she couldn't believe Renly's good intentions. "You know, this is the crew's welcome to your joining, and you should accept it.".”
Although it was clearly Renly's request, this was all he could say politely..
“Likewise, this is my gratitude to the crew for their warm welcome." Renly said with a smile, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness, but now, Renly still did not explain too much, facing such a difficult situation. In this situation, the power of words is the weakest, and action is the best counterattack. "By the way, Nina, can you contact Patrick Crowley and Christopher Raimo? Ask them to come over to the van and look for me..”
Nina nodded in confusion, left the van with questions on her face, and turned around to find the other two producers..
