1246. Accident
At eight o'clock in the evening, many companies have already turned off their lights, but the tenth floor of the Max Film Building is still brightly lit.
It's not that Nie Wei is harsh, so that employees are still working overtime at night.
The staff who stayed behind were not working, they were all gathered in the relaxation area, where they were partying and having fun.
Ninety percent of the thirty or forty people present were single young men and women, who had no family ties, and even if they went home, they were idle and bored, so unconsciously, this leisure area of the company became a venue for their gathering.
You must know that the company was completed by Gensler, a world-renowned design firm found by Nie Wei, and the 23-story building is not only majestic and magnificent in appearance, but also full of fashion in the interior.
Take this leisure area as an example, the combination of gorgeous colors, not only will not give people a dazzling feeling, but is full of a visual enjoyment, the reasonable combination of various entertainment facilities, as well as bars, indoor barbecue grills, etc., set food, entertainment, culture in one, and there are many black technologies here, which can make people enjoy the extraordinary.
It's a lot better than the bars outside, and many of the company's employees don't think the best bars in Los Angeles are necessarily as good as the ones here.
The point is that it's still open 24 hours a day.
In addition to those who love to mess around, other employees prefer to come to the leisure area to play, as long as they bring food and drinks, they can have a happy and relaxed party here, of course, after the party, the dirty environment must be cleaned up, and the items here can not be damaged, otherwise the company's system will teach him to be a good employee.
"Turn on the TV. Seeing that the time was past eight o'clock, Jack put down the roast sausage in his hand, and immediately couldn't wait to sit on the sofa, find the remote control, and turn on the large smart TV on the wall.
Then six or seven more people gathered, because the time for the evening entertainment news was approaching.
Don't look at Jack, they are all staff members of film companies, and they are half feet in the entertainment industry, but the more they are like this, the more interested they are in entertainment news.
After all, ordinary people can only guess the story behind the news, but Jack and they can verify the authenticity of the news through the gossip in the circle.
While watching the entertainment news, everyone quickly communicated.
"I heard that, didn't Kardashian say last time that there was no conflict with Rihanna, but the last time I went to Disney, I listened to their staff talk in private, and the two almost didn't fight in the bar again, and I heard that they both pulled each other, but the bodyguard pulled away in time. ”
"Really, I think those two people are laughing a little fake in front of the camera, it turns out that there is a real contradiction. ”
"There is also Iron Man doing charity, didn't the last news say that he did pseudo-charity, in fact, it was also wrong, he really donated a lot of food to Africa, but their company made the wrong charity object, and it was sent to another place, which caused the group of people who were originally going to accept food to say that the food was not received, and later Iron Man knew about it, and immediately made up for it. ”
"Donnie is so handsome and caring, if he cooperates with our company to film, I must find an opportunity to ask him for an autograph. ”
"There must be a chance, our company is so strong. ”
Just when everyone was chatting while watching the news, Entertainment News urgently inserted a new message, and after more than ten seconds, several people watching the news were all stunned.
"I would like to insert a new message for everyone, just half an hour ago, Miss Daddario, who had just become one of the heroines of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", played by Queenie, accidentally slipped down the stairs and broke her arm because of a celebratory party at home, and she is likely to lose the opportunity to play this role......"
When broadcasting this news, the show even featured a video.
Daddario was seen lying on a stretcher, being carried to the ambulance by two paramedics, the girl covered her face with the same arm the whole time, and as the camera approached, her body could be seen twitching slightly, apparently crying.
"She's so pathetic. After reading the news, a female staff member said with some regret.
She was the staff member who called Daddario twice at noon but hung up, originally she was still a little angry that Daddario didn't answer the phone, but at this time, seeing Daddario lying on a stretcher and crying, she felt that the other party was really a little pitiful.
For a little-known actor like D'Addario, this opportunity is too precious, and it can even change an actor's star career.
If he wasn't selected, it wouldn't matter, but like Daddario, he defeated hundreds of opponents and was successfully selected by Nie Weixiang, but there was such an accident at the moment before signing the contract.
The staff all felt that Daddario was too unlucky to lose her role for such a reason, and Du felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"Should we tell the boss about this?" said Jack suddenly, knowing that the boss was still working at the top.
"I think the boss must know. Someone replied.
"What if. Jack didn't hesitate any longer, and walked straight to the elevator.
Jack didn't see Nie Wei, he was stopped at the secretary's place, and after knowing Jack's intention, Nie Wei's secretary didn't need to ask for instructions at all, and directly told Jack that Nie Wei already knew about it.
TV news is still a step slower than online media, the news of D'Addario's injury at home Nie Wei saw it on the Internet, it was another video, D'Addario fell under the stairs, holding his arm in pain and tears, and there were many of her friends screaming in panic.
The person who uploaded the video was obviously a friend of Daddario, but their relationship was obviously not good, regardless of whether the uploader was jealous or gloating, and the video caused Daddario a lot of trouble anyway.
At this moment, Daddario, who had just finished putting a plaster cast in the hospital, didn't know that there were already a bunch of people on the Internet criticizing her for being injured.
The reason is simple, because of disdedication.
Many people feel that D'Addario was injured unexpectedly, and because he drank alcohol, he was irresponsible for his career, and he deserved to be injured, and some people even rejoiced that D'Addario was injured, thinking that such an actress entering the crew of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was simply a disaster for the crew, and would even affect the reputation of Rowling and Nie Wei.
If Daddario saw these comments, he would definitely cry worse than he did now, because he was so wronged.
She didn't fall because she was drunk at all, in fact, after talking to her agent on the phone, she was insensitive to alcohol, and although the party was happy and the sisters were very happy, Daddario only drank juice and soda the whole time, not to mention those intoxicating high alcohols, she didn't even touch red wine.
He fell because he didn't know who had sprinkled a puddle of wine in the middle of the stairs, and she happened to step on it, and as a result, she slipped down, and because she was stained with alcohol, a reporter smelled it, and thought she fell because she was drunk.
Of course, D'Addario can't care about alcohol now, she's injured, and that's the most important thing.
Daddario is not afraid of multiple contusions on his body, but the wrist fracture makes her sad and wants to cry, the doctor has said that the fracture is not an easy recovery injury, even if she takes careful care and strives to re-examine, it will take two to three months to be able to barely move, and she can't lift heavy objects for half a year.
Knowing that he was injured so badly, Daddario was so frightened that his tears were gone, and he was stunned.
After learning about his injury, the first thing that came to Daddario's mind was not the pain of not being able to move his wrists, but the role he might lose.
Daddario thought that any normal crew, I'm afraid they wouldn't use an injured actor, not to mention that she was still so badly injured, is she going to lose this role?
At the thought of this, D'Addario's frightened tears came out again, and they were even more turbulent, like a flood bursting its banks, bursting out of its eyes, falling drop by drop, and almost becoming a line.
Of her friends, only Kate accompanied her to the hospital, and when she saw that Dadario was crying so sadly, Kate was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Winnie to come to the hospital.
"How the hell did you get injured at such a time, and it's so serious!" asked Winnie angrily as soon as they met.
She was really angry, and when she received the news of D'Addario's injury, she felt like the sky was about to fall, and her whole brain was buzzing, and she almost fainted.
You must know that it was one night before D'Addario signed a contract with the crew, and she was afraid that D'Addario would have an accident, so she told D'Addario on the phone to pay attention, but the more she didn't want to, D'Addario dropped the chain at this critical moment.
In the face of Winnie's reprimand, D'Addario did not refute, but cried more fiercely.
Seeing the tears of the girl in front of her falling down like pearls with broken threads, Winnie also sighed a little softly, she didn't know that the most aggrieved person at this moment was D'Addario.
But as soon as she thought that the role would fly away, and her chance to become the company's gold agent would also fly away, she couldn't help but be irritable.
"Daddario, it's not time to cry, Kate, you take care of her, I'm going to contact Max Films, and hopefully they're still willing to keep their promises. Winnie didn't believe that when she said that last sentence.
Dardario was like a person who had seen the light in a desperate situation, and the light of hope burst out of his originally gray eyes, staring directly at Winnie, as if he wanted to get the answer he wanted from her.
Winnie looked at Daddario and avoided her gaze, and the girl's hopeful gaze made her feel distressed, because she knew that the odds were not great.
No matter how early D'Addario is injured, no one can guarantee that she will be able to successfully complete her acting work, so even if Max Films decides to give up D'Addario, no one will say anything, this is human nature, who made you careless.
Winnie didn't have Nie Wei's phone, not even Thomas's phone, and finally got Thomas's phone through a better friend.
As soon as the phone was connected, Thomas's voice rang out with confusion: "Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Thomas, I'm Daddario's agent, Winnie. Winnie hurriedly introduced herself.
Thomas's originally puzzled voice instantly lowered: "Miss Winnie, is there anything you can wait for tomorrow to discuss, now is the time for me to sleep." ”
Winnie subconsciously looked up and saw that the clock on the wall had crossed the 'nine' and was approaching the 'ten'.
It wasn't a good time to chat, but Winnie couldn't wait to get things straight.
"Mr. Thomas, I've only delayed you ten... No, just five minutes, please let me explain the matter of Daddario. ”
"There's nothing to explain this, that girl is unfortunately injured, and I sympathize with her, but our Max Films is a company on the right track, and it is impossible to use an actor with a physical injury to film, so please Miss D'Addario take care of her body, calm down and recuperate, and don't think too much. Thomas said in a nonchalant tone.
The news of Daddario's injury, he didn't know it as early as Nie Wei, but it wasn't too late, after knowing the news, he had already passed the actress in his heart.
Anyway, Thomas didn't think that D'Addario was the kind of actor who was unique, and there were a lot of small actors like her, so why risk her being hurt again.
In case Daddario's filming injury is more serious at that time, it will also be a trouble for the crew, not only will they be responsible for medical expenses, but the key will also delay the filming progress, and these lost expenses are enough for ten D'Addario's salary.
Winnie was speechless, and she didn't say a word of explanation until Thomas hung up.
The beep sound in her ears brought Winnie back to her senses, and the agent, who usually looks like a strong woman, is also like a frosted eggplant at the moment, looking sluggish.
Winnie returned to the hospital room, and Daddario and Kate, who were still sobbing, all looked at her for the first time.
"I'm sorry, Daddario, Max Films may have to choose a different actor. Winnie spoke bitterly about the result.
When Daddario heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red again, and his eyes quickly filled with tears, and he was about to burst out of his eyes.
"Winnie, is there really no other way? Isn't there still a month before filming starts, D'Addario may be able to recover well, and besides, is this the decision that Nie Wei told you personally, but he admires D'Addario so much......" Kate said anxiously, she still believes in D'Addario's lies, thinking that her audition performance is great, which impresses Nie Wei.
Winnie almost rolled her eyes when she heard this, it would be nice if she could talk to Nie Wei, but where did she come into contact with such a big person.
"No, it wasn't Nie Wei who said it himself, but it was Thomas Thomas, the president of Max Films, who made this decision. The meaning of Winnie's words was very clear, President Max said so, and the matter was basically settled.
But after Kate heard that it was not Nie Wei's decision, a glimmer of hope suddenly surged in her heart.
"Daddario, cheer up, this is not Nie Wei's decision, you still have hope to join the crew. ”
