1850 Preconceptions
“I don't want to go home at all now.”
“After the official start of "Jurassic World", this is the best portrayal of the mood of the crew. Just because of the convenience brought by the dining car and van, but don't underestimate the huge impact of the working environment - delicious food The fresh, diverse and rich lunch ensured that the entire crew could fully enjoy their rest time; not to mention the ever-changing breakfast and afternoon tea options, even the director and fellow actors began to enjoy life..
Even veterans who have been in the industry for many years have said that the enjoyment provided by the dining car and van is the best in their careers.——
Which other crew is willing to spend so much money to reward the behind-the-scenes staff? Although under the supervision of major Hollywood guilds, the crew will not treat the staff harshly; but under the shadow of Wall Street capital, cost control is still the top priority, and it is impossible for the crew to spend a large proportion of expenditures on staff.
Occasionally, big-name actors are willing to use their own money to reward the staff, but it is very, very rare - once or twice at the opening ceremony or finalization ceremony, this is a common phenomenon; occasionally providing afternoon tea during the daily shooting, that is extra Rewarded.
It's not just rare, it's almost unheard of for someone like Renly to have prepared his own dining car and carriage..
One could say that Renly was deliberately trying to please the staff, but one could not deny that they were indeed enjoying the convenience brought by the dining car and carriage..
Nina should be an exception to the minority.
On the contrary, Nina not only doesn't like it, she even hates it. She feels that Renly is using money to win people's hearts, and his face has the smell of "rich" money written all over his face - that van, their entire team spent a lot of money on it. After countless thoughts and efforts, Renly didn't cherish it at all, and just gave it away without caring, giving up their hard work cheaply..
Although it is the staff who enjoy the benefits now, why couldn't Renly emphasize it from the beginning? Why can’t requests be made with workers in mind from the beginning? This kind of change of heart on the spot made Nina feel that her efforts were not valued. It was more like Renly was not satisfied after seeing the finished product, and then transferred the van to the staff. This kind of aloof and noble attitude made Nina I feel like a circus monkey, being teased like this.
Just thinking about it in her mind, Nina felt her anger begin to boil..
“Let me tell you, I'm a Native Hawaiian and my family has been here since my grandparents, but I still don't know as much about Honolulu as Renly does. I mean, the culture, the history, the food, the music, Dancing, etc., can you imagine how knowledgeable Renly is?？”
“I'm telling you, I'm telling you, the day before yesterday, Renly was reading a script, and then I stupidly went over to ask him if he wanted afternoon tea, but he didn't pay attention at all. The cold breath all over his body scared me into having a heart attack, and I ran away on the spot. When I turned around, I was scolded severely by George. Only then did I realize that Renly could never be disturbed when reading the script. No one was allowed to do so. Even his assistants had to keep their distance. I thought I I expected to be fired, but nothing happened. Thinking about it now, I think I must have been overheated at that time..”
“What surprised me the most was that Renly had the same lunch and afternoon tea as us. I thought he was going to invite a Michelin chef to come over and cook it specially, but it didn’t happen.！”
The cheers and laughter in her ears made Nina feel more and more irritable. She really couldn't stand here and listen anymore..
Originally, Nina was still thinking seriously about whether she should go to the dining car and ask for a cup of hot chocolate, because she was really suffering from severe hypoglycemia, but the lively scene in front of her made her change her mind. She would rather suffer than Accepting the food that came to her, she thought it was Renly's charity..
So, Nina strode away, turned around and hid under the shade of the trees in the corner of the photography base, far away from the noise and joy, sulking with herself - she always felt that all the work Everyone was deceived by Renly, and she was in the minority who knew the truth..
But she was powerless. Even if she said bad things about Renly, no one would believe her. Damn it.！
“Nina." A figure walked diagonally ahead, "I knew you were here. Are all your plans for the afternoon confirmed? "The person coming is Matt-Haggerty, the chief assistant of the show, who is responsible for the collaboration and operation of various departments. He and Nina are also very familiar with each other. They used to work together on the variety show "Project Runway" Pass.
Nina didn't speak. She raised her eyes and glanced at Matt. She weakly raised her hand and waved it, but didn't lift it completely. Then she put it down again, her whole body was listless..
Matt handed the paper cup in his right hand to Nina, "Hot chocolate. I know you are short of sugar. Replenish it, otherwise you won't be able to work in the afternoon. Today's lunch is a Korean cold noodle, which tastes very cool. , and then it can be paired with barbecue. It tastes really good. You can go over and try it..”
“I'm not interested." Nina said stiffly..
Matt was not surprised at all, because he was responsible for scheduling the van project. He understood all the ins and outs and knew Nina's reaction well. Instead, he chuckled, "There is no need to be hard on your body. At least, lunch preparation is still Not bad, you can also go inside the van to enjoy the air conditioner, have a rest and relax, be kind to yourself, there is no harm in it.”
As soon as Matt finished speaking, he could see Nina throwing a knife at him fiercely. He quickly raised his hands to express surrender, "I'm not him, you don't need to kill people with your eyes." Then Matt Passed the hot chocolate over again.
Nina stared at Matt closely, but found to her dismay that Matt had no intention of compromising. He just stood in front of her with the paper cup. In the end, Nina was defeated, took the paper cup, and put it in her mouth. Still unable to hold back, he muttered a few curse words and vented his strong dissatisfaction..
“I don't understand why everyone says so good about him! "Nina said angrily..
Matt sat down next to Nina, "Have you ever thought about another possibility? Maybe it's because he's really nice.？”
“Matt! Nina was like a cat with fried fur, her eyes widened, "No one is perfect, don't you know that?" If everyone says good things about him, it means he is the real hypocrite! You know the ins and outs of everything, how can you speak for him?？”
Matt still had a smile on his face, "First of all, let me clarify some misunderstandings. He is not perfect. You know this, and I know it too..”
“When it comes to work, his harshness and pickiness are really annoying, to the point where people want to beat him. This is just a commercial movie, and I really don’t know what he is competing for; but Colin Seriously, always listen carefully. You know the scene this morning, they discussed it for forty-five minutes and then left the entire crew alone for forty-five minutes. This kind of work is not efficient at all..”
“The thing I'm most curious about is: does he have dyslexia when he spends so much time reading scripts every time? Otherwise, with just a few lines, what on earth is he looking at? You know, for a scene with only three lines, he could stand there and flip through the script for five minutes! God, my patience has almost been exhausted by him. He is really a thorn in the ass, which is unbearable..”
“I don't like him. To be honest, he's really hard to like..”
Matt's merciless complaints earned Nina a blank stare, but she finally did not continue to be irritable..
“I mean, in terms of being annoying, he can indeed make people hate him; but that doesn't mean that he deceived the entire crew, about the van and the dining car, about the attitude of treating the staff well, maybe Is he sincere? "Matt couldn't finish his explanation, so Nina just exploded..
“are you serious? Nina's voice couldn't help but become sharper, "It's not like you haven't experienced it before."……”
But this time Matt didn't let Nina burst out all the complaints, because he had heard them countless times. He interrupted Nina directly, "I learned from Christopher about the cost of renovation of the van. Renly paid for all the expenses for the food truck and the dining car out of his own pocket..”
“That can't be..." Nina reflexively wanted to retort, but she was stuck in the middle of her words, "What? why does he do this？”
This doesn't make sense！
“Yes, why would he do this? "Matt also asked back, and then fell silent..
The restlessness around Nina slowly subsided and she fell into her own thoughts..
Matt did not provide guidance, but let Nina think for herself. He waited until Nina came back to her senses, raised her head and looked at him with a doubtful look, and then he said, "Do you think it is possible?" , Renly really doesn’t know about the van?” Seeing that Nina was about to get angry again, Matt then said, “Think about it, the list of requests we received were all paraphrased, without any Renly brought it up directly face to face..”
“Nonsense, how could he communicate with us in person?？”
“So, when he first saw the van, did he suggest any modifications?？”
“Because our work is perfect, he dares to have an opinion！”
“But you said it yourself, Renly seemed a little surprised when he saw the carriage..”
“He...he...can pretend...he is just...he..." Faced with these doubts, Nina has argued countless times. The deep-rooted impression in her mind allows her to refute at any time, but now, those arguments But all the words were stuck in my throat, and things seemed to make no sense suddenly..
Nina caught a possibility, and then looked at Matt with surprise.
Matt gently nodded his head in affirmation, "There is another possibility that Renly really doesn't know about the van, and those list of requirements were not put forward by him at all..”
God！
