"Whew......" Nathan stretched a big lazy waist, and the whole person felt a little back pain, and couldn't help but start yawning, and his eyes were almost unable to open.

"Snuck out as a thief last night?" said Amanda-Gibney, smiling over and complaining to Nathan.

"Hey Amanda, good morning. Nathan slapped his mouth, put away his yawn, and said hello first before answering the question, "Last night I tossed until four o'clock in the morning, God, I now strongly doubt that I can fall asleep standing like a foal." Eggs' script is getting late, what about you? Hasn't Rachel's script come out yet? So, when filming starts, you'll be just like me. ”

Amanda Gilberney is Rachel Weisz's assistant and accompanies Rachel in the filming crew, she is a few years older than Nathan, and she has been in the industry a little longer than Nathan, because Lan Li and Rachel are the relationship between the male and female protagonists, Nathan and Amanda also often deal with each other and quickly became friends.

"Ha, rumor has it that Lan Li is outrageously picky about the script, and Rachel is a lot more casual about it, and she doesn't like me making too many changes to the script. Amanda asked, curiously, "So, do you really need to make all the annotations to the script? I mean every line?"

"No, no, no. Nathan waved his hand repeatedly, "Actually, Lan Li likes to do this work by himself. He was really picky about the script, but he didn't need my help. After getting the script, Lan Li himself will read the entire script repeatedly, not only his own characters, but also other characters and the whole story will be read in detail, and he likes to establish the internal connection between the characters very much, that is, to build a society outside the script. ”

"Wow, he's done all the work himself?" Amanda couldn't believe - what the hell were assistants for, they weren't just serving tea and water.

An actor's assistant has a basic job, which is to read the script - unlike agents and managers, assistants read the script to complete annotations, for example, to highlight the actors' lines, for example, to mark the scenes that are about to be filmed today, and for example, to find the previous scene of the next shooting scene so that the actors can complete the scene...... And so on, in fact, it is to reduce the tedious workload of the actors.

Don't underestimate the work of the assistant reading the script, which can often save the actor a lot of time, so that the actor can get into the groove and memorize the lines faster. A really good assistant must understand how to read the script and interpret the script, which is the basic job.

Amanda also needs to read the script. However, every actor has his own special habits, and the assistant needs to be adjusted at any time, such as Rachel, she just needs to mark the scenes filmed today and the scenes of the consecutive scenes, so that she knows where she is in the story;

There is still a difference in the details.

In comparison, Amanda's work of reading scripts is much simpler, while Nathan's work is much harder - Lan Li's picky and cumbersome scripts are rumored to have crossed the Atlantic from Hollywood to the United Kingdom, and Amanda has also heard about it.

"Yes, the script is a very important part of Lan Li's preparation - in fact, even if I finish the highlight work, Lan Li himself needs to do it again, because in the process of reading the script, his mind keeps colliding with the characters, and he is not willing to let others do it for him. "There are so many rumors about Lan Li, both good and bad, and Nathan has to constantly explain to others to clarify Lan Li.

Nathan continued, "In the past, I used to mark the finish of Lan Li, and then read the script to mark today's scenes or scenes that continue the state of the characters, in fact, my work is very easy, and Lan Li doesn't like me to disturb his train of thought, just remind him of the daily shooting content. But this time is the exception, Lan Li and I are both meeting for the first time, Lan Li is very excited, but it takes a lot of time for him to read the script, and what we lack the most now is time, so I need to finish this work in advance to help him save some time. ”

The filming process of "Lobster" is different, creating while shooting, and changing at the same time, Ogles will revise the lines and details every day, and update the plot and script every day, which also means that every day something new may appear, or even overturn the entire content.

This also means that Lan Li has no way to complete the preparation of reading the script in advance, and every day of filming must be carried out step by step, Lan Li is still the most important actor, which is a new experience for both Ogels and Lan Li, so Nathan's work is very necessary.

Every evening or evening, Ogles would revise the script and give it to the actors' assistants, who would stay up all night reading the script, completing the notes, and then handing it over to the actors, and when the actors got up in the morning and had breakfast, the actors quickly began to read the script, memorize the lines, and everything happened on the spot - everything had to be ready before the crew officially started filming at 9 o'clock.

Last night, Ogles tossed until half past eleven in the middle of the night, and then handed over the script to the assistants, among which Lan Li's lines were the most scenes, Nathan was busy until nearly four o'clock before finishing his work, and then got up after sleeping for less than three hours, and now his eyes can really be closed directly at any time.

Nathan secretly looked left and right, approached Amanda, and said in a low voice, "When Rachel's scene starts, you know how painful it is." ”

Now the filming of the hotel part is close to the end of production, but the forest part has not started yet, and Rachel has not yet appeared, so Nathan said this.

Amanda couldn't help but hold her forehead, "No...... But Rachel doesn't seem to have many lines...... Let's hope so, otherwise Rachel's filming will be troublesome. She needs time to settle down her emotions, and those things need to be digested by herself, otherwise, her performance will easily lose layers. ”

This is Rachel's self-evaluation, and it is also her acting habits, Amanda just knows Rachel too well, and is not complaining or commenting.

Speaking of which, Amanda also began to worry, "Ah...... Why don't I think it's pretty, by the time I get to the second half, Lan Li is already in full swing, but Rachel still needs to figure out, God, I'm starting to worry about it now. Can't Ogles hurry up and give us the script?"

Nathan laughed helplessly, "Because he's also very good at the script." ”

"Isn't it all because of Lan Li?" Amanda gritted her teeth.

Nathan couldn't help but laugh twice, but refused to budge, "Lan Li just hopes that the movie can be better, and I must say that the hardest thing is still Lan Li." ”

"Everyone knows that Lan Li is masochistic...... Amanda rolls her eyes, but the follow-up complaint can't continue, and the showrunner Gina-Jay appears at their breakfast table, interrupting Amanda's words and revealing a big smile, "Good morning, Gina!"

"Morning. Gina nodded in response, but didn't be too polite, "Nathan, there's a situation outside the crew, do you need to go out and confirm?"

"What's the situation?" Nathan didn't panic, he was now a battle-hardened man, and although he was a little tired and sleepy, he still bred up and skillfully coped with various situations.

"I don't know the specifics, but in a nutshell, someone came to visit Ban Lanli. Gina omitted the process and concisely elaborated on the results, "It's not a special person, it should be an ordinary person, it's not a big deal, but she is holding John's purse and Lan Li's hat." ”

"What?" Nathan blinked, a little confused - why John and Lan Li's items? Could it be a thief? Or what?

Gina nodded in acknowledging Nathan's confusion, "Look, that's the problem, we don't understand what's going on, but it's John's wallet - it has his driver's license in it, it's just...... Hats are less certain. ”

According to the normal process 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 little things will not really affect the crew's shooting.

But now that the situation is special, Gina came over to inquire, and she didn't bother the actors, but came to ask the assistant.

"Or should we tell her to leave her things behind and send them out?" suggested Gina, which is the usual way to deal with it.

"What else did she say?" Nathan didn't make a rash decision, but he did have a question mark on his head.

"Uh...... You know, those clichés, she and Lan Li are friends, Lan Li helped her yesterday, and she hopes to be able to thank Lan Li personally. Balabala. Nothing new. Gina, apparently not convinced, finished her perfunctory explanation, and then rolled her eyes.

Because there are so many such arguments, everyone pretends to know the big people and proves their existence in this way, but this is not the case in the real world, not everyone can know Lance-Hall, just like you don't meet the prince in the streets - the story of "Cinderella" only takes place in fairy tales.

"Last night?" Nathan looked at Amanda and hesitated slightly, "Lan Li did go out with John last night, and Ben, they went to the town to see a movie." Perhaps, her statement is true? However, Lan Li did not mention it. I thought, I'll go out and have a look, it's not a big deal anyway, and if it's really Lan Li's hat, I should also express my gratitude. You just said that the wallet is John's, right?"

"Yes, I'm getting ready to go to Simon. Gina nodded in the affirmative, "Let's see if John wants to make a special thanks." "Simon-Smith is John Reilly's assistant.

Nathan nodded, "Okay, I'll go out and have a look now." He could already handle these small things independently, put down the knife and fork, nodded to Amanda, and Nathan walked briskly towards the door of the hotel.
