2180 Assistant is embarrassed
“Huh..." Nathan stretched out a lot. His whole body felt a little sore in his waist and back. He couldn't help but start yawning, and he almost couldn't open his eyes..
“Did you sneak out and commit a thief last night? "Amanda-Gibney came over with a smile on her face and joked about Nathan..
“Hey, Amanda, good morning." Nathan clapped his mouth, put away his yawn, and took the lead in saying hello before answering the question, "I worked on it until four in the morning last night. God, I now strongly doubt that I can do it. Like a foal, you can fall asleep standing up. Ogus's script is getting later and later, what about you? Isn’t Rachel’s script out yet? Then, when filming starts, you will be just like me.”
Amanda Gibney is Rachel Weisz's assistant and accompanies Rachel on the set. She is a few years older than Nathan and has been in the industry longer than Nathan because Renly and Rachel are the same. As for the relationship between the male and female protagonists, Nathan and Amanda also interacted frequently and quickly became friends..
“Ha, rumors say that Renly is extremely picky about the script, while Rachel is more casual, and she doesn't like me making too many changes to the script." Amanda asked curiously, "So, you Do all the notes on the script really need to be made? I mean every line？”
“No, no no." Nathan waved his hands repeatedly, "Actually, Renly likes to complete this work by himself. He is really picky about the script, but he basically doesn't need my help. After getting the script, Renly will read the entire script over and over again. He will read the script in detail not only his own character, but also other characters and the entire story. He likes to establish the inner connection between the characters very much, that is, to build a society outside the script..”
“Wow, he did all this work himself? "Amanda couldn't believe it - what on earth are assistants used for? They don't just serve tea and water..
An actor's assistant has a basic job, which is to read the script - unlike agents and managers, the assistant reads the script to complete the annotation, for example, to highlight the actor's lines; for example, to mark the scenes that will be shot today. Annotate the scenes; for example, find the previous scene of the next shooting scene so that the actors can complete the sequence... and so on, which actually reduces the tedious workload of the actors..
Don't underestimate the work of assistants reading scripts. It can often save actors a lot of time, allowing actors to get into the mood faster and recite lines faster. A truly excellent assistant must understand how to read scripts, Parse the script, this is the basic work.
Amanda also needs to read the script. However, every actor has his own special habits, and the assistant needs to adjust at any time. For example, Rachel only needs to mark the scenes shot today and the scenes in the series to let her know. , where she is in the story; but when it comes to lines, Rachel doesn't like highlighting them with highlighters. She is still used to reading and absorbing them by herself, and tastes the emotions..
There are some differences in details.
In comparison, Amanda's job of reading scripts is much simpler, while Nathan's job is much harder - Renly is picky and cumbersome about scripts. Rumors have crossed the Atlantic from Hollywood to England, and Amanda has also heard about it..
“Yes, the script was a very important part of Renly's preparation - in fact, even after I finished the highlighting work, Renly himself had to do it all over again, because as he read the script, his mind kept going with it. When characters collide, he is unwilling to let others do it for him." There are too many rumors about Renly, both good and bad, and Nathan must constantly explain to others and clarify for Renly.
Nathan continued, "In the past, I used to mark what Renly had done, and then read the script to mark today's scenes or scenes that continue the character's state. In fact, my job is very easy, and Renly doesn't like me very much. To disturb his thoughts, just remind him of the daily shooting content. But this time is an exception. It was the first time for Renly and I to meet each other. Renly was very excited, but it took a lot of time for him to read the script, and What we lack most now is time, so I need to complete this work in advance to help him save some time.”
“The filming process of "The Lobster" is different. You are creating while filming, and you are still making changes. Ogus will modify the lines and details every day, and update the plot and script every day. This also means that there may be new ones every day. stuff, even overturning the entire content.
This also means that Renly has no way to complete the preparation work of reading the script in advance; and every day's filming work must be carried out step by step. Renly is still the top actor. This pair of Oggs and Renly It’s all a new experience, so Nathan’s job is very necessary..
Every evening or night, Ouges would revise and complete the script, and then hand it over to the actors’ assistants. The assistants would stay up all night reading the script, completing notes, and then handing it over to the actors; after the actors got up in the morning, they would have breakfast. , the actors quickly started reading the script and reciting lines. Everything happened on the spot - everything had to be prepared before the crew officially started filming at nine o'clock..
Last night, Ogos worked on it until half past eleven before handing the script over to his assistants. Renly had the most lines and scenes among them. Nathan was busy until nearly four o'clock before finishing the work, and then he couldn't sleep. Get up after three hours, and now you can really close your eyes at any time.
Nathan secretly looked around, approached Amanda, and said in a low voice, "When Rachel's scene starts, you will know how painful it is.".”
The filming of the hotel part is now nearing the advanced stage, but the forest part has not started yet, and Rachel has not appeared yet, so Nathan said this.
Amanda couldn't help but hold her forehead, "No way... But Rachel doesn't seem to have many lines... I hope so, otherwise Rachel's filming will be very troublesome. She needs time to settle her emotions, and those things need to be done by herself to complete the digestion, otherwise, her performance will easily lose its level.”
This is Rachel's self-evaluation and her performance habits. Amanda just knows Rachel too well and is not complaining or judging..
At this point, Amanda also began to worry, "Ah... why do I feel that the situation is not very good? By the time we enter the second half, Renly has fully entered the state, but Rachel still needs to explore, God, I I'm starting to worry now. Can't Ogus give us the script quickly?？”
Nathan laughed helplessly, "Because he also strives for perfection in the script..”
“Isn't it all because of Renly? "Amanda gritted her teeth and complained..
Nathan couldn't help but laugh twice, but refused to give in, "Renly just hopes that the movie can be better. It must be said that Renly is still the one who has the hardest work.".”
“Everyone knows that Renly is a masochist..." Amanda rolled her eyes, but she could not continue the complaint. Gina-Jay, the showrunner, appeared at their breakfast table and interrupted Amanda. He said with a bright smile, "Good morning, Gina! "Pretend as if nothing had happened just now..
“Morning." Gina nodded and responded without being too polite, "Nathan, there is something going on outside the crew, do you need to go out and confirm it?？”
“What's going on? "Nathan didn't panic. He had been through many battles now. Although he was a little tired and sleepy, he still cheered up and dealt with various situations skillfully..
“I don't know the specific situation, but to put it simply, someone came to visit Renly." Gina omitted the process and explained the result concisely, "It's not a special person, it should be an ordinary person. It's not a big deal, but she Take John's wallet and Renly's hat.”
“What? "Nathan blinked, a little confused - why are they John and Renly's belongings? Is it a thief? Or what happened?？
Gina nodded to confirm Nathan's confusion, "Look, here's the problem, we don't understand what happened, but it was indeed John's wallet - it had his driver's license in it, but... I'm not sure about the hat..”
According to the normal procedures of the crew, it is naturally impossible for these so-called visiting fans to enter the crew, otherwise the filming will not continue. The crew is equipped with security personnel to maintain the safety and stability of the crew, so these small things will not really matter. Affects the filming crew.
But now the situation is special, so Gina came here to ask. She did not disturb the actor, but came to ask the assistant..
“Or should we ask her to keep her things and send them away? "Gina gave advice, which is also the usual way to deal with it..
“What else did she say? "Nathan didn't make a rash decision, but he was really full of questions..
“Uh...you know those old sayings. She and Renly are friends. Renly helped her yesterday. She hopes to thank Renly in person. Barabara. There is nothing new." Gina obviously didn't believe it and was perfunctory. After finishing his explanation, he rolled his eyes..
Because there are countless similar rhetoric, everyone pretends to know the big shot and proves their sense of existence in this way; but this is not the case in the real world. Not everyone can know Renly Hall, just like he is not a street person. You can meet the prince - the story of "Cinderella" only happens in fairy tales.
“last night? Nathan looked at Amanda and hesitated for a moment, "Renly did go out with John last night, and Ben. They went to the town to watch a movie. Maybe what she said is true?" However, Renly didn't mention it. I thought, let me go out and take a look. It's not a big deal anyway. If that is really Renly's hat, I should also express my gratitude. You just said that the wallet is indeed John's, right?？”
“Yes, I'm about to go over to find Simon." Gina nodded in affirmation, "Let's see if John wants to make a special trip to thank you." Simon-Smith is John Reilly's assistant.
Nathan nodded, "Okay, I'll go out and take a look now." He was already able to handle these small things independently. He put down his knife and fork, nodded to Amanda, and Nathan quickly walked towards the door of the hotel. go out.
