Chapter 73: Stripping and Bathing
This is the first time in Nattel's life that he has stepped behind the scenes of a film, and witnessing its birth is a novelty for the crew. However, in view of the fact that there was still a cold look and a person who was not interested in a single qiē beside him, he did not put his curiosity on his face, but sat on the chair with Theorod's name printed on it without saying a word, crossed Erlang's legs and looked like a man who was more than the director, leisurely watching the staff coming and going on the set.
Obviously, he didn't have the consciousness to be an assistant, but Herman took the initiative to step aside and make room for the busy staff.
"Which group are you from? Are you lazy sitting directly on other people's actors' chairs like this? Get out of here, these chairs can't be put here, hurry up and work, there are fifteen minutes before the official start of the film! Do you want to be scolded by your team leader?" Soon, someone couldn't stand Nattle's laziness, and the person in charge of clearing the scene pointed at him with a drawing.
"I have nothing to do with your crew. Others made faces with him, and Natel naturally did not treat others with a pleasant face, and at that moment, he glanced at the other party impatiently, as if he was planning to stay here and not leave.
"Hey, you're quite temperamental, if you're not from the crew, how did you get in?
Herman on the side saw it, and secretly said that it was not good, he was not worried that the security guard would really kick Natl out, he was worried that with this kid's temper, he was afraid that he would beat people if he was forced to do so. So he immediately stepped forward and explained to the staff member: "I'm very sorry, sir, he is Theo's assistant, his first day on the job, and there are still many things he doesn't understand. ”
"Assistant? A little assistant still dares to sit in the actor's chair, so he is not afraid of being scolded by the actor?" Seeing that Natel, as Theorod's assistant, was still so comfortable sitting on Theorod's special chair, he couldn't help but sneer, as if he had seen the fate of the unruly assistant, and then, he looked at the more polite Herman, "He's an assistant, what about you?"
"I'm Mr. Lechte's chief assistant and I'm teaching this kid how to do his job well. Herman pressed one hand on Nattel's shoulder. His strained face was quite convincing, and the staff member didn't think much of it, and he didn't want to waste time, seeing Herman and Natl cooperatively give up their positions, he immediately picked up Theolod's chair and moved it to the corner.
Natle watched in silence as the man left with his chair in hand, and immediately twisted his shoulders and shook off Herman's hand on his shoulder. "Why, do you think I'm going to punch me up?" Nattel glared unkindly at Herman, "I'm not that naïve and ignorant. But next time, if you dare to call yourself Theo's chief assistant, I'll definitely let your eyes kiss my fist. ”
Herman raised his hand and took a step back, looking like he didn't want to dwell too much with Natle.
After the staff member lowered the chair, he saw Theolod in a bathrobe and director Alex coming out discussing it, and he thought about it and decided to remind the kid that he had found an incompetent assistant...... By the way, a lesson for the disrespectful kid.
"Mr. Lechte, though you may not like what I say next, you may need to look for a competent assistant again, for your current assistant will only sit in your chair and be lazy in your absence. ”
After he finished speaking, he saw Theorod frown lightly and walked towards the impolite boy, he knew that there was a play, and the schadenfreude in his heart made him smile a little more, but not long after, when he heard Theorod say something, the smile on his face froze-
"Sorry, Nattle, I know it's boring when there's nothing to do on set, and I can't seem to find any assistants to pass the time, maybe you can take a nap? Or can I lend you my script to see? My chair is here, don't be polite to me. Theolod said apologetically.
"When am I being polite to you?" said Nattell, sitting down in his chair and picking up the script, "I'd better read your script, I haven't seen what it looks like." ”
"Well, you can also learn about the story by the way. Theolod said, looking at Herman calmly, "The first scene starts in ten minutes. ”
His attitude made Herman raise an eyebrow, and Theolod didn't seem to care at all about having a psychiatrist around him, analyzing and considering him, ostensibly cooperating with his work, but in reality it didn't seem to look like it. Herman wasn't sure whether this phenomenon was good or bad.
And the staff who wanted to watch Natl being troubled had already froze in place. If he's not mistaken...... Theorod seems happy to give up his chair and show him the script by the way, even if insiders always say that Theorod is a good boy who is polite and sensible...... But you can't spoil your assistant so much, right?
As for Nattle, who was sitting in a chair with the script, on the surface his attention was on the script, but in fact, he didn't read a word on the script. Because Theorod was naked/wearing a gray yukata dangling under his nose at the moment, and no matter how tightly the yukata belt was wrapped, it wouldn't take long for it to loosen, not to mention that Theorod didn't seem to tie it too tightly.
As a result, Nattle could see Theolod's white body looming in the bathrobe that had almost become a deep V-neckline, and from his angle, as long as he raised his eyes slightly, he could see the curve of the other party's abs, and he didn't know why he thought this curve could be described as sexy......
Hell, Nattle snapped the script, what was he thinking?!
"Why are you dressed like this?" Nattel noticed that his tone was a little angry.
“…… Because John woke up in the bathtub, you can't be dressed in the shower, right?" Theolod put his hands in his bathcoat pockets and looked at Natel with some confusion. His action caused the bathrobe on his body to pull down slightly......
Then Natl felt even more irritable.
"Theo!" Alex's voice came not far away.
"Okay, come right away!" Theolod replied, then gave a few words to the odd-looking Nattel, and ran to the director.
What kind of bullshit director, what kind of bullshit character, and still sell meat?! Natel scolded secretly, although he didn't know why he was scolding, but he thought that it must not be a good movie to rely on men to sell meat.
Ten minutes later, Theolod was standing in front of a very old-looking bathtub. The dark gothic temperament of the film determines the overall décor of this bathroom. The black-and-white floor tiles looked like they hadn't been scrubbed for a long time, and rusty water pipes were clinging to the concrete walls and burrowing into the dark, dirty corners. The bathroom was empty, with only a bathtub, a toilet as dirty as a public toilet on the street, an old notched mirror, and a washbasin with black water stains.
Theolod stood barefoot on the cold tiles, and he looked down at the green surface of the bathtub, which had not a ripple, like his calm eyes, and no one could look through them into his heart to see what he was thinking.
The crew was doing the final clearance, and they had to make sure that there wasn't anything in the final shot.
"Theo, are you ready?" said Alex.
Theolod didn't answer, he just turned his back to everyone and slowly untied the belt of his bathrobe. After nearly two months of adjustment, Theolod has completely changed his figure from the thinness of a teenager to the strength of an adult man. The difference between John and Kevin determines that the two of them will be different, if Kevin's slender figure makes him look handsome and dashing and graceful, then John's sturdy and slightly hunched back makes him more like a down-and-out helpless person who is overwhelmed by the burden of life.
The moment Alex spoke, everyone noticed Theorod's change, and although they didn't know how he did it, they just knew that the kid had changed as a person. The act of taking off his bathrobe was more like a burden than taking off his clothes, and the shoulder blades and vaguely visible muscles that moved with his movements proved that the man himself was not easy to mess with, but he did not realize this, and his action of dropping the bathrobe did not have any murderous aura, but a hint of tenderness.
Before John's "amnesia", he was implanted with the memory of a murderer by the alien race, and he was indeed driven by this memory to kill several innocent prostitutes/women, so naturally, he carried a danger with him. But John wasn't a villain at heart, and when he got rid of that memory, he knew that he was a good man, and he couldn't take the lives of others at will, so he should have been gentle.
And Theolod now, he has perfectly integrated these two diametrically opposed temperaments into his gestures, and there is no contradiction and sense of disobedience, and it has not been officially turned on yet, he is just taking off his clothes at the time, he can do this, Alex saw it, and without saying a word, he hurriedly turned on the camera that was standby, and took a complete picture of Theorod stripping and bathing.
This damn little bastard, doesn't he know how to squeak in advance when he enters the play? Also, this kind of undressing and bathing scene is generally only good when made by women, but ...... Hell, why can you look so good as a big man?!
Of course, Theolod's "good-looking" has nothing to do with a woman's good-looking. His figure is considered good among men, typical broad shoulders, thin waist, hips and long legs, his skin is a little whiter than that of normal white people, plus he has been exercising a lot recently, there is no excess fat on his body, and almost every part can withstand close-up shooting, naturally, with a kind of male beauty.
Nattel, who was standing on the side, was almost stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have swallowed saliva just now, and this physiological reaction made him feel a chill, and he couldn't help rubbing his arms, and his eyes were a little evasive...... But he didn't leave Theolod completely.
Before the movie officially started filming, Alex can be sure that there must be some tidbits this time.
But sure is sure, and the right thing still has to be done. Seeing that Theolod had completely submerged in the water, he immediately beckoned his photographer and assistant and made a three-two-one.
The assistant was holding a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the bathroom chandelier, which was towed to the other end. When Alex gestured to one, he immediately let go of the chandelier, which naturally swayed from side to side, leaving a shaky shadow on Theolod's face.
“!”
At this command, Theorod unexpectedly sank into the water.
Alex was startled, he thought that Theorod had slipped and fell, and thought that he had just shouted "" one second before and the next second he would have to "cut", but Theorod did not reach out and grab the edge of the bathtub and got up from the bathtub.
Did he do it on purpose?
After all, Theolod likes to play freely, and Alex has heard a little about it in the directorial world.
So he hurriedly beckoned the photographer to point the camera at the green water.
The color of the water gives the people in the water an excellent camouflage, and others can only see the faintly visible silhouette of the human figure in the water, but they cannot see the face and gender of the person in the water. The chandelier overhead still swayed from side to side, and the reflected light and moving shadows were like pendulum balls in the hands of a hypnotic master, falling on the water, adding to the mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.
The person in the bathtub has not moved, and from the outsider's point of view, it is impossible to determine his life or death. This strange silence and the swaying chandelier intensified the condensation of the oppressive atmosphere, Alex did not calculate how long Theolod held his breath, he just felt that if this continued, he would even have the urge to drag the "sunken corpse" out of the bathtub, which was from the bottom of his heart.
It's unbelievable that this kid can use the environment to do this! At this moment, almost everyone's attention on the set is grasped by Theolod, no one knows what he will do next, but everyone wants to know which step he can do.
Just as the chandelier was at its lowest swing, a bubble suddenly emerged from the green water, reached the surface of the water, and burst suddenly. Then came the second one, the third one, and the bubbles became more and more numerous and appeared faster and faster, until there was a certain critical point, and the figure that had been sinking in the bathtub sat up suddenly.
He coughed violently, his wet hair sticking to his eyes, and streams of water slid down his cheeks, some even burrowing into his gaping mouth, and then he coughed it out again. He was obviously choking, and the discomfort of water in his lungs and the sore throat from the violent coughing caused him to have physiological tears in both eyes.
After a moment of relaxation, the man lay on the edge of the bathtub tiredly, panting heavily, brushing all the brown hair that was hanging down in front of his forehead behind his head, revealing a pair of eyes that were mixed with complex emotions such as panic, doubt, confusion, and panic.
Under the long, fan-like eyelashes that were wet, his blue eyes, even if they were dominated by panic, were still clear and pure, without any impurities.
He looked at his surroundings, then at his hands and body, and finally, he frowned slightly, raised his right hand slowly, with a hint of uncertainty, and touched his brow, and then, he gasped.
There was a wound on his brow.
Even when he knew about filming, Herman could still feel the confusion and horror of the man in the bathtub. From the psychiatrist's point of view, he can easily see that this is a common symptom of amnesiac patients. His dazed helplessness makes it impossible to take his eyes off at all, for fear that once he looks away, this frustrated person who can't take care of himself will rush into the unfamiliar street in a panic. He looked at the people around him and saw that their faces were also so moved.
When Theolod appears in front of the camera, whether he shows up or not, whether the director shouts or not, he is the focus of everyone's gaze, the center of the shot. This kind of naturally generated domineering attraction and aura made Nattle feel surprised and admired while watching from the sidelines, he somehow felt a little more worried-
He found that his Theorod, in this man, was long gone.
Who is he?
The unlucky guy John Maddow on the script?
It's just filming!
