262 Internal strife in the crew
The closer the time is to noon, the more powerful the sun becomes. The air is filled with the smell of dry and hot dust, as if just taking a big breath will make the whole lungs burn immediately. The dense heat wave makes the vision begin to distort and blur. Get up, it’s hard to imagine that it’s already October！
After just five minutes of standing outside and talking on the phone, Paul's back began to sweat. He hung up the phone and quickly walked into the studio. The room without the sun immediately cooled down, and he could still feel it. Gusts of cool wind circulated around, but the sticky feeling on the surface of the skin still lingered. Instead, it became tighter and tighter. The uneasiness that filled the air made the atmosphere in the room filled with a fearful and raw feeling..?
The staff in sight were all busy, making final preparations for the afternoon shooting, but today everyone behaved a little abnormally, moving forward lightly one by one, lest they make any noise, lowering their heads quickly. He walked forward, meticulously busy with the work in his hands; at the same time, he was constantly communicating in the corner of his eyes, and then inadvertently glanced in the same direction, talking silently with his mouth, and then withdrew his eyes and continued to work quickly. leave step by step.
“Paul, Paul." A young assistant from the production team walked up quickly and grabbed Paul tightly as if he had seen a savior. "Fan is in a bad mood today, very bad. He just knocked down the director's team. We had coffee with the cast, and then kicked two of the makeup team's chairs. We are still on the phone, refusing to do makeup. Justin is coming soon, but we are not prepared at all. What should we do? "Justin Lin, referring to the director.
Disaster, today's start of work is simply a complete disaster. There are less than ten minutes left before the stipulated start time, but the studio is still in a mess, the preparations are not at all in progress, and everyone is frightened and uneasy. If this continues, Responsibilities are investigated layer by layer, but it is these lower-level staff who suffer in the end..
More importantly, no one can comfort Fan, so work will continue to be interrupted..
Following everyone's peripheral vision, Paul could easily see Fan who was on the phone next to the makeup area. He was like an angry bull, circling around in circles, looking for an attack target irritably. , that ferocious and twisted face made people shy away, and a large circle of open space cleared around it..
If it had been in the past, Paul would have stepped forward to persuade Fan to calm down, calm down the staff, and allow the crew to return to normal work; but today, Paul no longer wanted to clean up Fan's mess, "Ignore him, let him Just calm down and Justin will be back to normal when he gets here..”
The assistant looked at Paul in front of him with a look of astonishment..
What happened to the usually affable and sunny Paul? Why did you suddenly turn a blind eye today? Seeing Paul turning around indifferently and walking in another direction without saying a word, the assistant felt that his outlook on life had been hit. This was even more terrifying than Fan Da Lei..
Is this... is this the end of the world? What happened today?？
Paul walked to the rest corner on the other side, then found a seat and sat down. He greeted Jordana Brewster, Cheng Kang, Tyrese Gibson and others sitting next to him warmly, and chatted about last night and today. An interesting thing happened at noon, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
With high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other, the air pressure cloud in the studio began to become strange, and the staff was even more trembling. Unknowingly, most of the staff began to move towards the rest area. The temperature in the makeup area It seems to be decreasing little by little.
Fan hung up the phone harshly, raised his hand and smashed the phone to the ground. With a crisp "bang" sound, the screen of the phone cracked into a spider web, but the back seemed to be undamaged. Fan seemed Feeling the insult, I stepped forward and stepped on the phone with my heels. The phone that was intact two seconds ago was now a piece of scrap metal..
But Fan was still not relieved. He raised his head and looked at the staff walking around, looking at the contrasting dressing area and rest area. His anger was losing control little by little, like a wild horse running wild..
Fan strode towards the rest area with big strides. His indomitable momentum was like a spark hitting the earth. It seemed that a big explosion was about to happen in the next second. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, "You guys/ What are you doing here?？”
“"You/ you", in English, "you" refers to two things. Fan accused him with all his face. A large group of people in front of him didn't know who he was talking about. For a moment, everyone was stunned. , the laughter was frozen in the air, and everyone's eyes were directed towards Fan at the same time..
Fan only felt as if he was standing on the opposite side of the world, and the whole world was against him. This feeling was really terrible. His eyes were fixed on Paul motionlessly. Because he knew that in the entire crew, The only one who can directly compete with him is Baotian." Paul replied lukewarmly, without any deliberate anger, but his concise and clear words were very sharp. Usually Paul doesn't like fire, but everyone knows that such a good old man Once a fire breaks out, it's really not a trivial matter..
“Damn chat! Fan immediately spat back, "You damn well know that's not what I meant, so what on earth do you mean?" Are you planning on confronting me? Or do you want to show off your abilities? "Fan's words were very simple. He kept repeating those few words over and over again. Compared with verbal disputes, physical confrontation was his strength..
Paul was also angry. After Renly's dissuasion, he had no intention of arguing with Fan. Anyway, the person involved didn't care too much. But now, Renly doesn't pursue it anymore, and Fan is still aggressive. What's the point?？
Paul was also a straight person and didn't like beating around the bush. He stood up immediately and said, "You know what I mean! Do you fucking know what you are doing? Such a prank is simply childish, shameless, cowardly, Idiot, stupid, ridiculous! If you have any opinions, you can say it openly, there is no need to hold back!！”
Those words that showed no signs of weakness made Fan Zhi roll his eyes, "This is just a training day, that's all."！”
Training day is the lingo of the Los Angeles police. It refers specifically to the first day when a new recruit enters the job. The experienced veteran police officer is responsible for guiding the new recruit and giving them a little shock education so that they can quickly adapt to police life. This day is called training. day.
“Fuck that shit! "Paul yelled back, "You're full of dog/shit!" You simply don't like your authority to be challenged! You simply refuse to recognize the strong position of others! You are a self-centered megalomaniac! No, I was wrong, you are just a child who is afraid that others will take away your toys! Yes, you heard me, kid！”
The other actors sitting next to him couldn't help but hold their breath. Such Paul was quite unfamiliar to them; such a quarrel was even more unfamiliar to them. For a moment, everyone was at a loss and completely confused. Forced.
Fan gritted his teeth. He was really not good at arguing verbally. His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his muscles were completely tense. He might step forward and start a fight at any time. The crisis and urgency were imminent. Putting everyone in a suffocating dilemma.
However, Paul was not timid at all. Not only did he not step back, he took two steps forward. He clenched his fists and faced Fan's provocation fiercely. He seemed to be ready for a fight..
What Van didn't like was that his authority was being challenged, first by Renly, now by Paul, and who would be next?？
What Paul didn't like was Fan's self-righteousness and doing whatever he wanted. Today it was Renly, but tomorrow it might be any new member of the crew..
In fact, the matter no longer has much direct relationship with Renly..
“Yes, I don't like him! Literally, he makes me sick! "Fan endured it again and again, not because Paul has been a friend for ten years, but because Paul is one of the unshakable pillars of the "Degree and Passion" series. If two people turn against each other, the impact on Paul will be limited, but for As a producer, it was fatal. So, he finally loosened his fist..
Looking around, Fan soon saw Renly standing on the edge of the set. At this time, Renly was chatting with the photographer's assistant. The distance was a bit far away, and the voice could not be heard clearly, but it could be seen that the two of them were talking to each other. Personal conversations are relaxed and engaging.
“Who is he showing this posture to? What is he pretending to be? It's not Marlon Brando or Meryl Streep, who is he acting for here? We are already in the 21st century, and this kind of old pretentious trick no longer works. We all know that he got to the position by selling his butt, and everyone knows it tacitly, so why should he act so aloof? Woolen cloth？”
Fan's words are very vulgar, almost every sentence is mixed with swear words, joking and sarcastic, sharp and naked, leaving almost no face.
“So, what should he do? Sit next to you and sleep? stay? Have a snack? And then when it comes time to go on stage, you can’t even remember your lines? Paul's counterattack strangled Fan's throat, "You don't like him because you know you can't become him."！”
Before Paul could finish his words, Fan's fist was waved up, but Paul had already been prepared. He dodged sideways and pushed with his left hand. Obviously, Fan didn't expect it. Not only was Paul prepared, but he actually did it. He really fought back. The stiffness in this moment caused the hesitation of conditioned reflex. He was actually hit. He lay down to the side and staggered three or four steps in great embarrassment. Only then did he avoid the attack. The ugly attitude of rushing to the street.
“You bitch! "Fan was so angry that he didn't care how important Paul was or what would happen to the crew. He waved his fist and rushed forward. But at this time, all the staff had already reacted and rushed forward in a swarm. Come up and pull the two people apart.
But Fan still refused to give up. He struggled to break away from the restraints and wanted to continue to fight back. Then there was a burst of yelling from beside him, "What the hell are you doing?"？”
Turning around, members of the director team and producer team arrived at the scene collectively.8
