Fan's mind is full of question marks now, so, is Renly fooled or not
If he was fooled, why did Renly look so relaxed now? As if the previous two and a half hours of waiting had no effect at all; but if he hadn't been fooled, why was Renly here at eleven o'clock? Discussing some kind of nonsense with Paul.
"So, what were you discussing just now?" Fan tried to bring up this topic lightly and cheerfully, as if he was blending into other people's conversations in a social situation, but his tone couldn't help being a little stiff, and the tough words were like fishbone. Very uncomfortable in the throat.
Paul didn't look up, he didn't seem to want to talk to Fan, and he seemed to be distracted. The drooping head made it difficult to distinguish emotions.
"The script." The voice of Renly's answer came over, and Fan looked at it reflexively, "We were discussing the script just now."
The anger started to burn in Fan's chest involuntarily. Wasn't he talking nonsense with his eyes open? What they just said was surfing, not scripting! What's even more shameful is that Fan just doesn't like Renly's pretend/force/posture of reading the script all the time, it's just disgusting.
"Is there anything novel about today's script?" Fan tried his best to maintain a smile, but his words began to become sarcastic, "I don't know, the script still needs to be studied and studied. I thought that today was all about shooting some action scenes. ."
"Ha, of course for you." Renly replied with a smile.
These simple words stabbed in Fan's chest like a dagger - he is an action actor, pure action actor, with no acting skills to speak of, even if he studied the script, he could not see a single flower. .
Fan's hands and fists were already clenched, but Renly continued, "I'm asking Paul about the scheduling of the shots. These valuable acting experiences cannot be seen in the script."
The ridiculing words had already reached his mouth, but he swallowed them hard because of these words, which was really embarrassing to the extreme. However, Fan had no choice but to nod his head in affirmation, and said without a smile, "Yeah, Paul is an expert in this regard, so it's right to ask him to learn from him."
Fan noticed out of the corner of his eyes that Paul was still standing beside him with his hands on his hips, not saying a word.
Fan has known Paul for many years. He knows that Paul is a very simple person. He doesn't like intrigue and has no ambition. He is always warm and kind. Paul actually had the opportunity to become a producer of "Fast and Furious 5", but Paul felt that this represented too much responsibility, and it was better to concentrate on completing the work of the actor, so Paul refused.
Refused.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others, but Paul turned it down. In fact, in the crew of "Fast and Furious 5", Paul is not only more popular, but also more appealing. Even Fan doesn't want to offend Paul directly - but who will offend Paul? Paul was a perfectly good man, wasn't he
At this moment, Fan knew that Paul was expressing his dissatisfaction.
But why? Fan couldn't think of any reason, if it was because of Renly, but isn't Renly in good shape now? There was no sign of depression at all, and the parties did not complain anymore, so why should Paul? Besides, Fan was even more clueless.
"... Fan?" Renly's voice interrupted Fan's thoughts, he turned his head quickly, and Renly had to repeat his question again, "Why did you come to the set earlier today?"
This question almost didn't make Fan choked to death, but... Ren Li actually took the initiative to ask this question!
Fan was at a loss for words and froze in place. His only reaction was to ask: Then why did you come to the crew so early? But then he realized that he couldn't ask, is this equivalent to stepping on a landmine? So, the words stuck in his throat, and Fan only felt his cheeks turn red and white, "Get ready."
Finally, Fan Cai choked out a sentence, "Prepare for today's shooting." He smiled dryly, "No one hopes that after playing, they find that they don't have a gun, do they?" After finishing, he laughed twice, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
However, Renly didn't answer, just nodded earnestly in agreement. And then... no then.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down like this, and the conversation was cut off. The embarrassment and jerkyness of the cold scene made Fan instantly fall into the ice cellar. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to watch the show, and just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. He didn't want to watch it. He didn't want to see Renly's laid-back demeanor either, seeing Renly's bright smile.
So, Fan pointed to the direction of the studio, "I'll go and have a look first, I'll start working in a while, I hope everyone has already started preparing." It's on. However, no one broke Fan's mask.
"Paul." Fan nodded to Paul and greeted him. Paul shrugged, then raised his right hand and waved. This was even a greeting, simple and casual. Fan only felt a dull pain in his chest, but he didn't have time to pursue it, so he quickly left and headed towards the studio.
Fan didn't understand until he left his position, what was going on? Did the prank succeed or fail
Watching Fan leave, Paul hummed. Of course, he knew why Fan came to the crew ahead of time. It was purely to watch a joke, or to test the results of his victory. Such a villain's attitude is really good. Impressed Paul.
Paul and Fan have known each other for many years. From the filming of the first "Fast and the Furious" to the present, the two have known each other for ten years, and their relationship has always been good.
In fact, Fan's reputation among the staff is not very good. On the one hand, Fan has a more impulsive temper and speaks more directly. He is indeed not so smooth in how he behaves in the world. During the work process, it is inevitable that there will be some stumbling and stumbling; and action movies The shooting of the film is mainly based on physical confrontation, and the scenes are relatively hot. Once a conflict occurs, it is not rare to roll up your sleeves and fight directly.
Biquge
On the other hand, Fan has some bad habits of big names. Although Paul doesn't like it, it is understandable, because he also rolls around a lot of people at the stage of being unknown. In the past when I was a nobody, I have suffered some scorn, and now I have finally made a name for myself. It is inevitable that I want to show off. This also makes Fan often bossy, and the sense of superiority between words really offends many people.
However, Paul has always been good words for Fan, smoothing things out, and he does all the old things. Although Fan has many shortcomings, his emphasis on brotherhood is indeed commendable. Paul always believed that Fan was a good friend.
But today is completely different. It is one thing to have conflicts in the process of work, and it is another thing to play tricks on new actors.
They all came from the period of rookie actors, and they all know that those bad habits of the old Hollywood era are still circulating today. Just like the fraternity culture in the United States, joining a fraternity means finding an organization, being able to get asylum, and networking resources, but before joining, a newcomer, a rookie, has to undergo severe torture and tests, even affecting personal safety. . This culture is endless.
Paul experienced it himself, as did Fan. Therefore, Paul has always hated this kind of culture. When Cheng Kang joined the fourth work in the series, Fan wanted to give him a ruthless dismay—
Hollywood's racial discrimination against Asian actors has a long history, and it has not changed much so far. Just look at the roles that Asian actors play in movies. Most of them are funny, funny, and twisted clown images.
Even actors like Jackie Cheng (Ja, Cheng/Long) and Zhang/Zi/Yi who have pioneered the world have not been able to break the shackles of prejudice in the end. Zhang/Man/Yu is the only one among all Asian actors who has reached the top in the Western film industry and has received corresponding recognition, but most of them are still limited to Europe.
At first, Fan wanted to teach Cheng Kang a good lesson, but Paul stopped him. At that time, the two had a good communication, and Fan also said that he hated this kind of newcomer ceremony and would definitely not in the future. But I didn't expect that things were like reincarnation. Fan finally did it again, and he made a special trip to the scene to check his results.
It really made Paul feel very uncomfortable.
Renly could catch the repulsion in Paul's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing, but he had no intention of saying good things for Fan, "Paul, I was serious just now."
Paul raised his head and cast an incomprehensible gaze, Renly picked up the script and gestured, "I need to understand the issue of shot scheduling. way, are there any special skills for these?"
Paul took a serious look at Renly, made sure he wasn't joking, and couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't tell whether Renly was really asking for advice, or whether he was trying to avoid him from going to Fan Huiqi, "I've never made art films, so I don't know the one you're familiar with."
"Really? What happened to the 'Skull Club'? And if I remember correctly, you also participated in the show in 'Banner of the Fathers'?" Renly's words left Paul speechless, and he could only stand He opened his hands and said threateningly, "So, do you still want to know about the scheduling of the shots?"
In the studio, at this time, it was a low air pressure with the mountains and rain coming and the building was full of wind. Fan's whole body exuded an aura of rage, which made people dare not go forward at all. Torn to shreds by a tornado. He was irritably back and forth in place like a trapped beast, going around in circles, and then called James Corell:
"No excuses, you don't want him making excuses! He doesn't look like anything right now! Shut up! How could he not react at all if things didn't go so damn wrong! Fuck! You bitch/ Raised! I want an explanation, I want an explanation from him!"
