359, Xiao He's Dream (2)
The first time I heard the name Pillow Creek was on the company's film project.
At that time, the subordinate handed over a small investment film case. Normally, for a movie with such an investment, the boss will at most look at the part related to the amount and sign it if he thinks it is okay.
At that time, it was the same as in previous cases of this type. I expected it to be over in a few minutes, so I stood straight at his desk and waited for him.
The front of the document had slid almost quickly with his fingers, and his eyes didn't seem to have dropped on the paper, but just like that, as he turned a page, he frowned visibly, and then quickly turned it back.
I tiptoed a slight glance at the cast list of the film's expected invites.
He waited a little longer on this page, and just when I thought something was obviously wrong, he flipped the page and skipped straight to the page that needed to be signed.
When it was finally time to sign, I took a few steps forward, reached under the paperwork, and pulled it out when he had finished signing.
However, the tip of the boss's pen did not fall for a long time.
"Who handed it here. ”
I gave the name of a project manager.
"Call him. ”
This manager was also the first time that he was summoned by the president of his direct subordinate department because of a movie proposal of this level, and when he came in a hurry, he stuffed me with a shopping card from a shopping mall outside, and asked me what the boss was looking for him.
I took the card and told him, "It's not about the project itself or the budget." ”
The manager wondered what he thought about as I did, and in addition to these two questions, what else was worth asking the big boss to ask in person.
"It seems that there is a problem with the invitation of actors. ”
"That's fine. The manager breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all expected to be invited, and there is no contract, if there is a problem, just change it." ”
The manager went in. He thought it would be done in a few minutes, but he didn't come out for a long time, even to the point where he needed me to deliver a drink.
When I went in with my coffee, I heard the boss say to the manager who was standing:
"I haven't heard any of these actors' names. ”
He asked a series of questions about who was who, who was who, who was who, and finally asked:
"Who is Pillow Creek? ”
I thought afterwards that I could only remember the word Pillow Creek from so many unfamiliar names in the boss's mouth, which might also be related to the tone and demeanor of the boss at that time.
My boss, who is known throughout the company, has a good memory, almost to the point of never forgetting it, and never takes notes or drafts in meetings. At that time, I recited so many unfamiliar names in a row, and they were all uttered by looking at the void air. Only this pillow stream, he looked at the document and confirmed it many times.
The manager explained to him that this is a market research done by the people below, and it should be a star who has been a little hot on the Internet recently.
The newcomer, just popular, has a fan base, and the price is low, which is very in line with the positioning of this film.
"Why look for her. The boss asked.
"If you think something is wrong, change ......"
"Let your researcher speak to me. The boss interrupted him and pushed the file out.
The manager took the file and walked out with me, and said, "What's the situation? It's just a female N, and there are not a few lines in the film, as for it." ”
It was from this time that I remembered the name Pillow Creek.
The project was successfully launched, and none of the actors on the project were changed.
Urban modern dramas, filmed in this city. When the machine was turned on, the boss said that he wanted to go over and have a look.
When I heard the news, I was so shocked that I almost swallowed the mouthwash completely.
This movie is only produced by a small company under the Yun family, and the person in charge of that small company may not go to this start-up site.
What is this, it is almost like the director of the education bureau has crossed the principal, director of education, and class teacher of a certain school to directly care about the question of why a student does not do recess exercises seriously.
There's no way, take people's money and look at people's eyes.
I could only pretend that I had no objection to this decision and followed my boss.
The shooting place is still a little far away from our company, and I went to catch the morning rush hour and get stuck in traffic. By the time they got there, the crew had already started filming.
I stroked my lined suit jacket and put one hand on the door switch.
"What to do. "The boss asked me.
"Go talk to the producer and director. ”
"Say what. ”
"You're here. ”
"Don't delay them from shooting. ”
"Then ......," I looked at my eyes carefully and asked, "So ...... now Return...... Go back?"
"It's coming. ”
I understand.
The car stopped not far from the filming location, and the boss could see through the window next to him that he was filming.
He took a few serious glances at first, and then took out his phone to read his news and the market.
But every time I hear the director shouting "transition" or "start the next shot", I will look up again.
I spent it with him until lunch.
Because our car stopped the food truck to put the meal, the producer came over, and it was at this time that he found out that the big boss was at the scene.
"How do you ......?"
"If you have something nearby, come by the way, and leave in a while, don't worry about me, don't alarm the others. ”
We moved the car to the side, maybe two parking spaces away from the dining car, and with my eyesight, I could clearly see all the dishes for the crew's lunch.
Filming was suspended, and everyone came to eat.
The boss seems to be particularly interested in what people eat, and he has been looking slightly sideways the whole time. People made it for more than half an hour, and he watched it for more than half an hour.
Later, I asked him, "What about our lunch." ”
"You go and tell the producer, we're going to eat here. ”
I was confused and asked him what to eat.
He pointed proudly to the dining cart outside with his chin.
I forced myself to accept this terrifying fact. Ask him, "Where to eat?" ”
He pointed with his chin haughtily to the car.
"It's going to taste. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
"It's a very good, very expensive, very expensive car. ”
The boss looked at me and said calmly: "This is a very good, very expensive, very expensive car, I have a lot of them." ”
I resigned myself to getting out of the car and going to talk to the producer about it, and of course, the producer was hit harder than me, and kept saying that he would rearrange it for the boss or ask the restaurant to bring the food over.
"No need, Mr. Yun is not an extravagant person. Just tell you, if you don't know. ”
I took two plates in my hands, confused. The food in front of me was almost all leftovers, and even I couldn't eat it.
There was a knock on the window, revealing a small crack. I leaned my head over, and the boss's voice floated out of it, telling me earnestly what he wanted to eat.
It's strange that there are a few dishes that he usually doesn't stick to in one bite.
After eating, the afternoon shooting began again. The boss is still in the same state as in the morning. Looking at the mobile phone and tablet, listening to the movement outside, I don't have the slightest intention of going back.
Dark-colored cars are exposed to the midsummer afternoon, and just sitting in the car can make people feel suffocated.
There was a knock on the window, and the producer stood outside, holding a few cold drinks in his hand.
The boss never eats anything that is given to him, especially a drink that is not sealed. I just wanted to refuse, but I heard the producer say: "The actors of the crew invite everyone to drink cold drinks, I brought a few glasses, you can see ......"
"Which one. ”
"You may not know it, it's a very new newcomer child, a ...... from Pillow Creek"
"Thank you. ”
The boss reached out, took the drinks, closed the window and handed me one of them.
Seeing that I was stunned, he asked me, "Isn't it hot or stuffy?" ”
I nodded.
"Drink. ”
I felt like I had just woken up from a dream.
The shooting continued, and when it came at four o'clock in the afternoon, the boss looked a little impatient and said to me:
"You go to the producer and ask for today's shooting schedule, and you have to be accurate to which actors are involved in which scene. ”
When I was about to come back, the boss gave me a quick glance and whispered:
"It's ok. ”
As a personal secretary who has been with him for so long, I don't know what he means.
Finally, when it was almost six o'clock, the director shouted that a certain scene was going to start.
The boss put the phone away, looked up, and put his glasses up.
I followed his gaze and saw a girl in a school uniform with her back to us.
The person is very thin, the hair is very long, and the figure of the back is first-class good, especially the legs, which are hell long.
The director kept talking about the play, and the girl kept her back to us, and I used my spare eyes to see the boss, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction with wasting his time.
Finally, when filming was about to officially start, the girl also turned around.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed to see her at the moment.
The disappointment may have come from a look that didn't match her back, and a look that didn't fit my boss's eyes in my mind.
She looks like she is in her early twenties, she is a very young and very young girl, she looks beautiful among ordinary people, but she has absolutely no astrology. But it looks like he's very good, gentle and well-behaved.
At the beginning of the shooting, the girl may have been shooting for the first time, and she has always had NG, and every time she NG, she will timidly apologize to the staff. At first, the director was able to talk to her patiently and seriously, but in the back, there was a mixture of questioning and impatience, so the girl seemed more and more nervous and flustered.
I peeked at the boss and saw that he was looking at the other side with his hand against his forehead, his eyes hidden under the reflective lenses, but the corners of his mouth were hung with a slight, seemingly non-existent smile.
Finally, after NG almost ten times, this shot was completed.
It's time to eat again, and the director asks everyone to go to eat first.
The boss took off his glasses and wiped them and said to me:
"You go and say, I'll visit the class. ”
