Renly looked left and right, trying to find a place to sit down and slowly flip through the script. But this is obviously not an easy task.
Burbank’s studios are divided according to company areas. In each area, there will be corresponding coffee shops and restaurants to provide services for the staff of the studio, which also makes the jobs inside hot; but Universal Pictures is different. , In the final analysis, it is still an open tourist area, and the activity area of tourists cannot be 100% isolated, so there is no public rest area near the studio.
Renly's current line of sight is a straight road, with props and boxes stacked on both sides, covered with gray tarps, and a white line delineating the parking area - it's empty now, don't say sit down and rest There is not even a place to stand to block the sun.
Of course, for those top big-name stars, they can ask the crew to be equipped with luxury vans and rest in the car without worrying about being surrounded by people or being exposed to the sun.
Obviously, this is what the prankster wants to see: a dilemma, going back may delay the shooting, and staying in a mess, and Renly is pushed into an extremely embarrassing position.
No matter who was behind the shenanigans, Renly had to admit that it was a brilliant move.
Nathan opened the rear seat door and took out the script from his backpack, but after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy! Why would anyone target Renly like that? Why would anyone want to play pranks? Why didn't Renly seem angry at all
"Fairy Wood"
"Renly! I think it's better to tell Andy about this!" The more Nathan thought about it, the more angry he became, but he didn't know what to do with it. The first thought in his mind was to ask Andy for help. The script, I forcefully closed the rear door, but the words behind were stuck in my throat—
I saw Ren Li sitting directly on the front of the car, raised his head slightly, bathed in the warm sunshine in the morning, the breeze caressed and blew up his short-cut hair, a look of contentment.
"Of course, you should call him now." Renly said casually after hearing the words.
When I was on the "Pacific War" crew, I had no agent, and I handled things myself; now that I have an agent, I naturally have to make full use of it. What's more, this incident also involves two drama executives, and the agent is still responsible for it. It is more appropriate to come out.
Looking at Renly's relaxed and freehand demeanor, Nathan was already smoking.
"Of course I'm very angry, I'm not Jesus, I endure the suffering thrown by others in silence, and then forgive them with a big heart." Renly's humorous words were mixed with ridicule and lightness, and Nathan was stunned. , the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "However, being angry doesn't mean losing control. I think what the manipulator behind the scenes most wants to see is that I lose control, and then make things worse. At that time, I will Offending the entire crew is the real embarrassment."
"Then... that's the end of the matter?" Nathan's smile subsided, but he still couldn't swallow it.
Renly's expression suddenly turned serious. "Of course not, so you'd better call Andy now, I mean, now! Also, give me the script."
Nathan quickly handed the script to Renly, took the phone out of his pocket, and dialed Andy's number. However, in order not to disturb Renly reading the script, he took a step and walked to the side.
Renly bowed his head and started flipping through the script. The original script was clean and tidy, but now there are stickers of various colors on the side, as long as you pull the stickers to open, you can see that the content of the page is marked with a yellow highlighter, all of which are Renly's scenes. And the lines are clear at a glance.
The notes were all pre-made by Nathan, as was the case when Renly got the script the first day.
The script reading of "Fast and Furious 5" is different from any previous work. Renly does not need to study every line and every scene, because there is no need for it. Strictly speaking, the lines in it The weight is not much, and there is no esoteric content. Renly conceived and positioned Hobbs' character image, and after finding his own style, the basic work was done, and the rest was left to play on the spot.
However, Renly is still keen to read the script, on the one hand because of the actor's love for the script, on the other hand, because of curiosity about the construction and use of the film lens.
The script is very monotonous and flat. It can describe the scene and lines, but the evolution from paper to picture requires the director's processing and imagination, as well as the actor's understanding and interpretation.
Compared with the two scripts of "Buried Alive" and "Crazy in Love", the script of "Fast and Furious 5" is very thin, which makes Renly unable to help reflect the script and the pictures he watched in the previous life. It's a magical process that deeply feels the magic and beauty of the filmmaking industry.
The passage of time began to become blurred, the sun slowly rose into the sky, and Ren Li gradually began to feel stuffy. There was a sound of chattering in his ears, and he couldn't help but raise his head and get out of the composition of the script. .
"Oh, no, no, he never communicated with us on set. What he meant was that he was a top star, and he didn't have to communicate with us."
"However, in the media, he always gets along well with the crew, doesn't he? I know that the news always promotes positive news. But the same is true for the rumors in the circle, I thought... "
"Yeah, he's always got on well with the crew, he'll buy donuts for afternoon tea, and he'll make morning coffee. You know, the assistant comes with the takeout van, and then the whole crew can go over there. Take it. The PR work, he's flawless. But, just for the crew, for us guys, you know."
The chatter next to him came over. Nathan was talking with a middle-aged old man. The two of them consciously lowered their voices, but there was a little echo effect in the channel of the studio. Friction is unavoidable. It can be seen that the two are having a good time talking.
The old man sitting next to him looked about fifty or sixty years old. His hair was white, between gray and silver. He was a little bald, and a light in the middle could be vaguely seen; the folds of his skin were obviously sagging. , the layers of wrinkles show the power of time, and the small squinting eyes make the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes more obvious; the lower lip always wraps the upper lip unconsciously, and from time to time, I smash the mouth, the right hand unconsciously Put it to your mouth and touch it, it should look like an old smoking gun.
The vicissitudes of life looked unrecognizable, as if he was an ordinary middle-aged American. He may have a problem with alcoholism, and his life is not too poor but not too rich. More than half of the entire society is made up of this type. Crowd composition. However, it always makes people feel a little familiar, not sure whether it is similar to a stranger who passed by in the company, or is similar to the security guard of a certain building, that kind of deja vu but can't tell why Familiarity, a little funny.
"So, what are you looking forward to?" Renly said in a raised voice. The conversation between the two people sitting on the opposite steps was interrupted, and they turned their heads and stood up in a panic.
Nathan's expression was a little embarrassed. He thought it was because he was talking too loudly that he disturbed Renly. After looking at it carefully, he found that there was a smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, which made him feel a little more relieved.
Without hearing an answer, Renly repeated his question and added, "In my opinion, as an actor, his public relations work is already good, at least for the face project. What to expect?"
The old man laughed and shrugged, "I don't know either. Maybe, I'm just jealous of his glow, or jealous that everyone is saying good things about him, so I can't help but want to splash a little bit. Dirty water." The self-deprecating words were full of wisdom, but they neutralized Renly's attacks without making a sound.
This is an old fritter.
The old man hurried up to greet him, "Good morning, Renly." From a distance, he stretched out his right hand, and his deliberate respect seemed to be testing Renly's reaction, and he had no intention of concealing it. This was really funny, and Renly couldn't help but smile, "I'm Alfred-Wayne, a good actor. There are three scenes in the crew today, playing the crowd."
Renly jumped off the front of the car, tidied up his clothes, then solemnly stretched out his right hand and held the other's right hand, "Good morning, I'm Renly Hall."
This simple action made Alfred stunned. Respect. Renly's actions just now showed respect, respect that put both parties on an equal footing. In fact, this is what every dragon actor longs for.
What they need is not some kind of condescending small favor, nor is it a special treatment from a big star, or even the other party does not need to remember their own name - after all, there are too many actors in the role, even they themselves, they may not remember it. The name of each colleague. All they need is respect, a smile, a nod, a look, that's all.
Alfred just said George Clooney, he doesn't like George. Not because George offended him, not because George was too perfect, but because George was a politician. Everything is just a plot to show to the public, and every move is full of hypocrisy and falsehood.
It can be said that he thinks too much, or that he is envious and hateful, but it is the truth.
So, is Renly in front of him really like this, or is he just wearing a more perfect mask
