On the set of "Atlantic Empire" in Brooklyn, on the 300-foot promenade, a bearded man is pacing impatiently.

Paul. Gary.

Director of Operations at HBO Television.

A few days ago, Xiansen announced his decision to shoot two film and television works at the same time without warning, and since this was not limited in the original contract, HBO TV did not have any dispute with Xiansen on this matter. However, after the third episode of "Atlantic Empire" aired, that is, the latest episode, the ratings suddenly and inexplicably dropped significantly, which was immediately taken seriously by the management of the TV station.

So, Paul. Gary arrived here with a mission.

The suburbs of Brooklyn are quite remote, and the living conditions around the set are very simple. Gary couldn't even find a coffee shop where he bought Starbucks, and this situation made his already tired body even more unable to lift his strength, and before he could see Xiansen, he found a random chair on the set, took a piece of staff clothes, draped it on his body and fell asleep.

It was in this groggy state that Brent. Wilson's loud voice is getting more and more irritating, especially when this loud voice is still nagging in your ear!

Brent. Wilson has been in a bad mood today, the main reason is that the actors' grasp of the direction of the camera has not been accurate during the rehearsal, is it because the camera crew has placed the camera too far forward? Thinking that there could be his own reasons, Brent. Wilson's mood was even more unhappy.

Taking advantage of the time for lunch, Brent. Wilson came to the set, carefully observed the position of several cameras, and found that sure enough, the reason was in the department he was responsible for, which made him, who had always been striving for excellence, extremely annoyed, and suddenly shouted loudly: "What about people? What's going on? Say yes and put it in the designated position. Don't see how far this camera has been? ”

Since it was lunch time, it was quiet on the set, except for a few staff members who were maintaining the props, there was no one else.

"These bastards know how to eat!"

Glancing at a few of the drama managers who maintained the props, they glanced at the strange eyes, Brent. Wilson cursed in an embarrassed whisper and turned around. I'm going to call a couple of camera crews to come and help.

God says that encounters sometimes only take a second.

At the moment of turning, Brent. Wilson saw a guy in camera crew overalls lying on his stomach on a few chairs, sleeping sweetly.

"Sleep? Still in the mood to sleep? ”

Brent. Wilson couldn't help but laugh. The team leader hasn't slept well for a few days because he is worried about the filming of the two works, this guy is still in the mood to sleep, and each team will take turns to keep a member responsible for the temporary needs on the set according to the regulations, this guy who stayed on duty is actually sleeping? Thinking of this, Brent, who was angry and funny, stepped forward and lifted the clothes covering the man's body.

"Damn! Which bastard lifted my clothes! ”

"Damn it, you know it's lazy to hide here!"

Two vicious voices rang out at the same time.

Paul. Gary was half-asleep when a man jerked off his clothes, and at the same time, accompanied by an expletive, he jumped out of his chair in an already agitated mood.

"You lazy guy. Didn't you hear you when I just called you? ”

Brent caught a lazy guy in his group, and he was already annoyed, and he immediately let out all his temper, and the spittle star splashed with every word.

Paul. Gary was hearing Brent. Wilson wondered when he asked, but before he could think about it, he felt the creature who lifted his clothes splatter spit on himself. Furious, he also scolded.

"Who do you think you are? Do I have to hear you when you call me? Do I have to go over if you call me? ”

Speaking of which, Paul. Gary couldn't help but think of the scene when his superiors gave him an order, and then scolded: "You bearded fool, swallow back the liquid that pops out of your asshole!" ”

Brent. Wilson didn't expect the man in front of him to reply to himself like this, although it had no effect on the people in the photography crew, but Brent. Wilson didn't want to think about it so much at this time, and scolded loudly: "You moldy stinky shit, go eat shit!" ”

As he spoke, he smashed his overalls at Paul. Gary.

Maybe it was the metal zipper on his clothes that accidentally scratched his face when he smashed it, and Paul felt the pain. Gary mistook Brent's behavior for a precursor to the attack, and spat on the ground, scolding and pounced.

Seeing that the other party pounced, Brent. Wilson also subconsciously clenched his fists to meet him, the two people were entangled together, scolding and pulling, seeing this scene, the staff around hurriedly ran over to stop it, however, the person who was beaten never knew to stop, the two men who were completely red at this time didn't care about the dissuasion of the people around them, you punched and I attacked each other.

It wasn't until more people rushed over that they could be separated.

Look at this time, Brent. Wilson and Paul. Gary had his hair disheveled, his face was blue and purple, and several buttons on his clothes had been ripped off.

"What's going on? Do you think of this as a boxing ring? ”

A voice came from a distance, and after hearing this familiar voice, Brent. Wilson calmed down for a moment, looked up in the direction of the source of the sound, and sure enough, Mister. Mori walked over with a black face, and behind him, there was Bella. Marceau and another somewhat strange man.

Xiansen learned that the head of HBO TV came and Brent. Wilson rushed over as soon as he clashed, and when he arrived at the scene, he didn't know what to say when he saw the two people in a mess. Especially the swollen faces of the two people are a little funny.

"Brent, that's how you entertain guests?"

A little embarrassed, he nodded to the person in charge sent by HBO, and Xiansen immediately criticized Brent. Wilson comes.

"Guest?"

Brent. It was only then that Wilson wondered if the person who dared to fight with him was not a member of the camera crew.

"No wonder I said I haven't seen you"

Although the voice was low, the people around could hear it clearly, and a few women couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh quietly.

"That, Paul. Mr. Gary: Right, I'm really sorry for today's incident, I specially prepared a cocktail party, hoping to go with me later, and resolve this contradiction by the way. ”

Criticize Brent. Wilson, the first son and then to Paul. Gary apologized, anyway, it was a very bad thing for outsiders to have such a thing happen in his own crew, especially Xiansen had probably guessed Paul. Gary came to the purpose of his visit from Bella. Marceau had already learned that the ratings of the latest episode of "Atlantic Empire" were suddenly declining, and of course, this phenomenon was expected by him.

"I won't be at the reception, I'm just here to tell Mr. Mister something on behalf of HBO TV, and I hope it's best to get some reply, since we are meeting on this occasion, let's talk about it here."

Paul. Gary was obviously reluctant to stay on the crew for a longer period of time, and said bluntly: "I wonder if Mr. Mister is aware of the fact that the ratings of the latest episode of "Atlantic Empire" have dropped significantly? ”

Seeing Xiansen nod, Paul. Gary continued: "Our contract does not restrict Mr. Mister's right to shoot a second film, but there are requirements in the contract for the quality of 'Atlantic Empire', so if the quality of the TV series is really affected by the new movie, we have the right to cut the TV series in half or fire Mr. Mister, of course, we fully believe in your ability, Mr. Mister, and hope that everything will develop in a better direction, I wonder what you think about this?" ”

After listening to Paul. Gary's words, Xiansen smiled and said, "Don't worry, the interests between us are win-win!" ”

Got such assurances, Paul. Gary nodded, shook his hand, and then turned to Brent. Wilson provoked: "I hope next time you can use some force!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the set.

Hearing this, Xiansen thought that Brent. Wilson would immediately fight back, but after a period of silence, the man who was fighting with others again asked very seriously: "Mister, have the ratings of the TV series really dropped?" Do you know why? ”

Looking at this anxious guy, Xiansen said with some relief: "It's okay, because of the plot, this episode is just a buffer period, believe me, the quality of the episode is really no problem." ”

"Whew, that's good, that's good"

With a long sigh of relief, Brent. Wilson smiled, but his swollen face made him look funny.

"You're really interesting in this crew."

Looking at the big man's expression, Martin. Scorsese couldn't help but joke.

Paul. Gary rushed to the airport as soon as he left the set, sitting in the taxi, he was still thinking about today's things, he had given him a lot of requirements, requiring him to make sure that Mister gave the so-called attitude, but after hearing that answer, he suddenly felt that the so-called attitude was the same as today's one, without the slightest meaning, so, after a simple communication, he got the answer he wanted, and this was obviously enough.

ps：

After thinking about it for a long time, I feel that I should be responsible for my friends, so Guazi will finish writing this book one after another, just to be worthy of you who will never give up.
