1846 A done deal
The deal is done, and what needs to be thought about now is not recovery, but resolution. Obviously, Thomas Tull is not ready to stop, so there is no need for Renly to keep it..
Setting up a dining car, opening the van, and opening up this luxurious enjoyment to the entire crew is the first step; at the same time, all expenses are paid from Renly's salary, instead of wasting "crew resources" for "personal gain", this is Step 2.
“Don't worry, my salary should be able to afford it." Renly was still in the mood to joke, and his relaxed and comfortable tone revealed his comfort..
But Patrick and Christopher had no intention of responding. At this time, hearing Renly's little humor, Patrick made his own interpretation, "Haha, of course, of course." The laughter seemed a little stiff, and his expression seemed a little jerky, as if Didn't take Renly's "invitation" seriously.
Sometimes, top celebrities will pretend to be kind by saying: My van can be used as a public room; but in reality, it is just a show, maybe once or twice, and more often it is used as their public room. Use of your own private lounge.
Renly could capture the depth of Patrick's words - see, even Patrick had already taken it for granted that Renly was now swollen, and that these carriage requests came from Renly, even though they seemed very outrageous. But, Patrick The difference with Nina is that as a producer, he takes it for granted and doesn't need to make a fuss; while the staff behind the scenes, headed by Nina, think differently..
This time, Renly did not say anything in a low-key manner, but emphasized with a smile, "I am serious..”
Patrick could feel the sincerity in Renly's expression and eyes - if it was just polite, then there would be no need to insist on it, "But... this is your van..”
Compared to Christopher, Patrick still didn't fully react. The words Renly just said still didn't really reveal the deep meaning. His thoughts still stayed at the level Thomas hoped to create, and naturally he couldn't understand it. Renly's intentions.
“This is a van prepared in my name, but it is not mine." Renly said, but Patrick still did not understand the difference, "Now, this is the crew's van, and it is still not mine..”
Patrick's temper was a little anxious. During the back-and-forth conversation, he was not able to decipher the hidden meaning of the words at the first time. Now after Renly's repeated interpretation and emphasis, he finally reacted - These two tongue twisters just emphasized one thing: Renly didn't know anything about the van..
“Oh. Oh! "Patrick suddenly realized that he was about to blurt out his question about Thomas, but before he could say it, he braked and controlled himself. After finally reacting, the thoughts in his mind became active, and Patrick's expression became meaningful, but He still hesitated, "Are you sure?？”
From Patrick's point of view, no matter what the situation is behind the scenes, at least Renly can enjoy it. Such treatment is the best reward for the peak of his career. If he doesn't enjoy it now, then when will he enjoy it?？
Renly knew that others could not understand his position and thoughts, so he did not force it and said easily with a smile, "Yes, Patrick, I'm sure.”
Patrick didn't ask any more questions, and said somewhat sarcastically, "This is your choice." He still couldn't understand Renly's decision, and he vaguely felt that Renly was a little bit picky - after struggling for so long, it turned out to be open to use. , even if it is for personal image, there is absolutely no need to do this; what's more, after spending so much effort to create a luxury van, it is only used by the staff? If it's for Renly, there's no problem, but if it's for the staff, it's a bit painful, even though Renly has said that he will pay for all the expenses..
However, Patrick just sighed, and then his expression relaxed, "Then, our crew members are blessed, and they can enjoy it.".”
Renly responded with a smile, "They deserve it. You know, their work is also an important part of the crew..”
Faced with such high-sounding words, Patrick was still a little disdainful in his heart. He always felt that Renly was a bit hypocritical, but he still didn't say it on the surface and just nodded in affirmation..
Afterwards, Patrick and Christopher exchanged a few more polite words, and the two of them stood up and left without staying too much..
After coming outside and making sure that Renly could no longer hear his footsteps, Patrick asked Christopher in confusion, "What do you mean by Renly?"？”
Christopher vaguely guessed the truth behind the scenes. In fact, it was just two big guys plotting against each other. Thomas directly burned two million to frame Renly, which was also generous. In order to deal with it, Renly gritted his teeth and directly signed a check for two million. He is also decisive; but these words cannot be arranged by him. It is more appropriate for Patrick to find the truth on his own..
“I'm not sure either." Christopher showed a blank expression..
Patrick thought about it seriously. He didn't think Christopher could understand it. In the end, he had no clue. He couldn't help but muttered a few words in a low voice, "Big names are trouble."”.
In Patrick's view, Renly's insistence was purely a window-dressing, meaningless effort. Even though he was vaguely aware that Thomas played an important role behind this, he didn't think it was necessary for Renly to refuse so pretentiously, at least to him. Generally speaking, the boxcar is a bit excessive but not outrageous. Renly can accept it calmly..
But he is not a big-name actor, so naturally he cannot understand their thoughts, so he came up with the idea that "big names are trouble". However, Patrick only complained and complained, not to the level of rejection or contempt, because he also knew that reputation How important prestige is to these big-name actors, they must cherish their feathers; not to mention, judging from the awards season that has just ended, Renly really needs to act more cautiously.
The truth is the truth, but Patrick still couldn't help but scratch his head: As an executive producer, he must meet all the "made out of nothing" requirements of big-name actors. This is how the workload has increased inexplicably. However, Patrick thought he needed to talk to Thomas to find out what was going on - why did Renly know nothing about the van? this is a bit strange.
……
After seeing off Patrick and Christopher, Renly did not start busy immediately. Instead, he sat quietly and carefully looked at the van he was in..
Although Thomas built this van in the most top-notch and most luxurious way, sparing no expense; unfortunately, he failed to capture a theme at all - or maybe he just didn't care about it. The entire van looks extremely luxurious, but it is just a pile of gold lumps piled up with expensive materials, with no real matching or design at all..
Two million, just thrown into the water. Renly is not sure whether Thomas really hates him, or whether Thomas really doesn't care about these small amounts of money - if it is the latter, Legendary Pictures' future The investment project is really worrying. But this is not the part that Renly needs to worry about. He only needs to focus on the "Jurassic World" work..
His mind slowly settled down, and the ideas in his mind gradually became clearer. Renly took out his mobile phone and started to make calls - opening the luxury car to the crew. This was just the first step of Renly's counterattack plan. Obviously, he The counterattack has just begun.
“Hey, Steven." Renly made the first call..
“Hey little guy, where are you now? I still haven't heard about your arrival in Honolulu. Don't tell me that at the last moment you decided to run away? This is not good news." An old voice came from the other end of the phone, a little hoarse, as if there was a mouthful of thick phlegm that was not spit out, so that the voice echoed in the lungs..
Renly laughed lightly, "Ha, you should confirm your email. Haven't you received the internal report from the crew yet? Your news is a little delayed. I have arrived at the crew today and I am now ready to get to work..”
Steven Spielberg, this is who Renly called first.
Renly prepares to complain.
Yes, Renly was prepared to be like a primary school student, complaining to his teachers and parents when he encountered something unhappy; but Renly's complaint still had to appear "higher". What he wanted to complain about was not the trap Thomas created using the van, but It's another thing: scandal.
“Do you know about this? "After the greetings, Renly told Thomas's plan to create a scandal straight to the point, and then asked Steven.
Steven was stunned for a moment, and then his voice became rough, without concealing his annoyance and displeasure, "Tch, what is that guy planning again?" This was not a question but an exclamation, Steven He immediately understood, "Don't worry, I know your character. This kind of publicity plan is definitely not suitable for you. He just...he just wants to emphasize his sense of existence..”
In fact, Steven's original thought was that he just wanted to irritate you. But after thinking about it, he still tried his best to avoid intensifying the conflict at this time, so his words became a little softer..
But Renly doesn't mind. This is the purpose of his complaint: as long as everyone knows. If Steven knows Thomas's scandal plan, then Renly must firmly express his position; but there is a high probability that Steven does not know , then Renly must let him know the situation he is facing and push Thomas in front of Steven.
Renly really has no interest in the intrigues of fighting for power. He sincerely hopes that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to filming; as for Thomas's petty calculations and petty ideas, Renly hopes that Steven can stand up and prevent things from getting worse before they get worse. take control.
Of course, Renly didn't mean to recruit Steven as his backer..
