1851 Choosing a Stand

There is also a possibility that Lan Li really didn't know about the van, and the list of requirements was not made by him at all. ”

Nina and Matt are not fledglings who have just entered Hollywood, and they have seen countless intrigues in the Hollywood industry: taking advantage of the communication gap between the actors and crew to do whatever they want, such things should not be too frequent in the crew.

For example, the assistant asks for a good red wine or a top-notch meal in the name of an actor.

For another example, the manager secretly eats discounts in the name of an actor and fills his pockets.

For example, the agent, in the name of an actor, demands privileges outside the crew.

To put it simply, the aura of a top actor can make the staff attached to him do a lot of things, book a top restaurant, enjoy hotel discounts, and even attract the attention of the opposite sex and even get benefits at the level of physical communication, these things are countless.

And these "benefits" are quietly destroying the reputation and reputation of the actors, so the consequences are also borne by the actors. Those negative remarks, those weird prejudices, and those bad impressions are quietly spreading and spreading in areas that the actors are not aware of, and no one can realize how serious the "consequences" are until they explode.

It is precisely because of this that every public figure must carefully choose his work team, otherwise if he encounters a "pig teammate", he will really jump into the Yellow River and will not be able to wash it.

Similarly, it is not difficult to use such a gap to discredit the actor's reputation.

Matt suggests a bold possibility, and Nina immediately understands it.

Nina clenched her fists, and when the hot chocolate burned the back of her hand, she realized that she was clutching a cup of hot chocolate in her right hand.

Both of them panicked, but Nina waved her hand at Matt, signaling that she was okay, put the hot chocolate on the floor, took out a wet tissue to wipe the back of her hand, frowned, and looked at Matt, "What the hell do you mean?

Matt looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else around, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm not sure, there is no definite news now, I just heard a little bit of a word from Patrick, Thomas and Lan Li have a bad relationship, Thomas also tried to make Lan Li and Bryce create an affair before, but Lan Li rejected it fiercely." ”

There is no definite information, but it is enough for the parties - because Nina and their work are all directly handed over to Thomas, and all the sources are all Thomas.

"Which Thomas?" Nina still needed to make sure, and then she realized, her voice trembling slightly. It's not that she hasn't seen rookies who have intrigued within the industry, but in comparison, they can only be regarded as small fights in the past, and this time the scale and battle are completely different from the same level.

"Tours. Matt said the name in the shape of his mouth, confirming Nina's thoughts.

Nina was a little flustered, there were too many thoughts surging in her mind, and she couldn't sort them out for a while, she couldn't even think calmly, and finally she could only close her eyes, "I need a little time." Then, Nina picked up the cup of hot chocolate on the floor, added a little sugar to herself, and got her brain running, and she had to rethink the whole thing from the beginning—

All the facts she believes are overturned, all the impressions she believes in are broken, and all the emotions she holds are destroyed, which is like disrupting the whole puzzle, simply tearing it all down and starting from scratch, so that you can see the whole picture clearly.

If Lan Li really didn't know anything about the van, if Thomas was really behind the scenes, if all this was really a whale fight and shrimp suffered...... Then, everything that follows will gradually become clear, and all those unreasonable doubts will be solved.

The brain finally cleared up again, and Nina covered her cheeks in chagrin and let out a frustrated, painful moan, she felt like an idiot.

"Nina, I'm not 100% sure, it's just a guess. Matt spoke again.

Nina shook her head slightly, "No, Matt, I'm 100% sure. She raised her head again, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Do you know? On the first day Lan Li arrived at the crew, after I showed him the van, Thomas specifically asked me about the whole process, I thought it was strange, but I didn't think much about it, and then the next day, Thomas found me again and said that the crew needed to respect Lan Li's schedule and let all our trips revolve around Lan Li. ”

"It's a normal requirement. Matt wasn't surprised at all, and that's what big-name actors are treated for.

Meryl Streep, for example, asked to never film during Christmas and Thanksgiving, and has never been an exception for so many years in the industry, because she had to be with her family, and Reese Witherspoon, for example, asked herself to avoid the last scene of the day as much as possible because she wanted to be able to pick up her children.

The above requirements are reasonable, and some actors insist on not filming the first scene in the morning because they are worried about their edema, some actors ask for a two-hour rest after lunch to ensure their health, some actors must have afternoon tea in the afternoon or they will go on strike, and some actors require themselves not to work for more than four hours in a row, otherwise their energy and state will not keep up.

Such schedules are actually very, very trivial and very, very difficult, but they are a subject that every crew must face. Whether they like it or not, they have to coordinate, and that's a very important part of Nina's job.

Nina nodded in the affirmative, "I know, so I'm not surprised. I tried my best to arrange Lan Li's scenes in a relatively concentrated time period, so that the rest of the crew could come over and cooperate with him. But later, I thought that I had heard rumors that Lan Li was very picky in the crew, and he had his own habits, so I made a special trip to ask his assistant to see if he had special requirements for working hours, but his assistant said that Lan Li was willing to cooperate with the crew 100%, everything was based on the crew, and he didn't have any requirements. ”

Matt showed a look of surprise - not to mention Lan Li, even second-tier actors have their own habits, each actor will put forward their own requirements, as for whether the crew accepts it and how to arrange it, this is another story, on the whole, it is to see who has the biggest card, and everyone else will cooperate.

Nina scoffed, laughing at her own stupidity, under the preconceived notion that everything was wrong, "I thought he was deliberately making a reputation, and my schedule was still based on him anyway, but now it seems that Thomas is actually putting up obstacles in everything, and the fundamental purpose is to hope that we will confront him." ”

Rough sound, these are just small skills of carving insects, and the means don't have much technical content, it seems that as long as you face each other head-on, you can see through it, but in a huge crew of more than 300 people, small tricks can play a big role-

First of all, not all trivial matters will go through Lan Li, and most of the staff do not have the opportunity to talk directly with Lan Li, especially the staff behind the scenes, because the personnel base is too large, they rarely even have the opportunity to appear on the same occasion as Lan Li. Then it becomes difficult to confront it head-on, and more often than not, it is immersed in your own world and speculating.

Secondly, maybe some people won't care about Lan Li's "difficulty", but who can guarantee that everyone won't care? Those seemingly inconsequential little things can quietly plant the seeds of complaining, and the larger the crew, the easier it is for contradictions to take root and sprout. Unconsciously, unexpected effects can often be brewed.

Thinking of this, Nina groaned in annoyance again, "God, I remember now, the day I took Lan Li to visit the van, Lan Li never poked everything head-on, but he already knew, he just didn't want to make me lose face, how bad my attitude was at that time." Yes...... I want to die. ”

Those confused and contradictory details finally found the answer, and Nina realized her stupidity, and when she looked at the cup of hot chocolate in her hand, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness, not knowing how to explain it.

"You say, what the hell is Thomas doing? If he hates Lan Li so much, then he shouldn't agree to Lan Li as the starring role, and now that Lan Li has joined the crew, he is stumbling behind his back, what kind of logic is this?" Nina muttered and complained with a depressed face.

They have very limited knowledge of the battle of wits and courage at the top of Universal Pictures.

Matt shrugged, "Who knows, how can we possibly know what they're thinking?" ”

"What? It's not over yet!" Nina almost jumped to her feet, but this time she managed to get under control.

Matt said as a matter of course, "Do you think he's putting up so many obstacles just to make him uncomfortable?" The two "hes" refer to different people, but Nina can understand.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Nina said speechlessly.

Matt didn't quite know, "I don't know, let you hate him?" I can only see the surface, and I don't know anything else." ”

Nina smiled wryly, "Then he did succeed." "Just for now......

"What are you going to do next?" Matt asked a simple question, but Nina understood the meaning, "Are you saying which side I choose?"

Either support Thomas, shut up tightly, and let things go on, or choose Lan Li and adjust back the previous mistakes little by little.

Matt was silent, and if he didn't object, he agreed: in this confrontation, they could not choose sides, but they had to understand their position, otherwise they would be very passive.

This shouldn't be surprising, isn't it? Where there are people, there is right and wrong, where there is a conflict of interest, there is a position, and the question is, how should they choose?
