Lan Li looked around, trying to find a place to sit down and read the script slowly. But it's obviously not easy.
Burbank's studios are divided according to the company's regions. In each region, there are corresponding cafes and restaurants to provide services for the studio staff, which also makes the jobs in the studios hot; But universal pictures is different. In the final analysis, it is still an open tourist area. The activity area of tourists can not be completely isolated, so there is no public rest area near the studio.
Lanli's line of sight now is the straight road, with props and boxes stacked on both sides, covered with gray tarpaulin, and then the white line marks out the parking area - now it's empty, not to mention the place to sit down and rest, there's no place to stand to block the sun.
Of course, for those top stars, they can ask the crew to have a luxury car and have a good rest in the car. They don't have to worry about being surrounded by people or being exposed to the sun.
Obviously, this is what the pranksters want to see: they are in a dilemma. If they go back, they may delay the shooting, but if they stay, they are in a mess. Lanli is pushed to an extremely embarrassing position.
No matter who was behind the prank, lanli had to admit that it was a good move.
Nathan opened the door of the back seat and took out the script from his backpack, but after thinking about it, he still found it hard to calm down! Why do people do this to lanli? Why would anyone want a prank? Why doesn't lenley look angry at all?
"Lan Li! I think we have to tell Andy about it! " The more Nathan thinks about it, the more angry he gets, but he doesn't know how to deal with it. The first thought in his mind is to ask Andy for help. He takes out the script and closes the rear door, but the words behind are stuck in his throat——
Lan Li directly sat on the front of the car, slightly raised his head, bathed in the warm sunshine of the early morning, the breeze gently caressed, blowing up his short hair, a happy look.
"Of course, you can call him now." Hearing the words, Lan Li said casually.
Before, when I was in the "Pacific War" crew, I had no agent, and I dealt with everything by myself; Now that you have an agent, it's natural to make full use of it. What's more, this incident also involves two actors, so it's better for the agent to come forward.
Looking at Lan Li's relaxed and freehand manner, Nathan is already smoking. It's really abnormal. He can't help but ask, "Lan Li, aren't you angry?"
"Of course, I'm very angry. I'm not Jesus. I bear the sufferings thrown by others in silence, and then forgive each other with a broad mind." Lanli's humorous words were mixed with irony and lightness. Nathan was stunned, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose. "However, anger doesn't mean to lose control. I think what the controllers behind the scenes most want to see is that I get out of control and make things big. Then, I'll offend the whole crew. That's the real embarrassment. "
"So... That's it?" Nathan's smile subsided, but he couldn't swallow it.
Randy's face suddenly became serious. "Of course not, so you'd better call Andy now. I mean, now! And give me the script. "
Nathan quickly hands the script to lanli, takes out his cell phone from his pocket and dials Andy's number. However, in order not to disturb Langley to read the script, he stepped forward and walked to the side.
Langley lowered his head and began to read the script. The original clean script is now pasted with stickers of various colors on the side. As long as you open the stickers, you can see that the contents of that page are marked with a yellow fluorescent pen. All of them are lanli's plays and lines, which are clear at a glance.
These notes were all made by Nathan in advance, which was the case when Langley got the script on the first day.
The script reading of "speed and passion 5" is different from any previous work. Lanli doesn't need to study every line and scene in detail, because it's not necessary at all. Strictly speaking, there are not many lines in it, and there is no profound content. Lanli conceives and locates Hobbes' character image. After finding his own style, the basic work is finished, and the rest is on the spot.
However, lanli is still keen to read the script, on the one hand because the actors love the script, on the other hand, he is curious about the construction and application of film lens.
The script is very monotonous and flat. It can describe scenes and lines, but it needs the director's processing and imagination, as well as the actor's understanding and deduction to evolve from paper to screen.
Compared with the two scripts of "buried alive" and "crazy love", the script of "speed and passion 5" is very thin, which makes Langley can't help reflecting the script and the pictures he watched in the last life. It's a magical process, which makes people deeply feel the magic and beauty of the film production industry.
As time went by, the sun began to rise slowly, and Lan Li began to feel sultry. He could not help but look up and get rid of the composition of the script.
"Oh, no, no, he never talks to us on set. He means he's a top star and he doesn't have to talk to us
"But in the media, he always gets along well with the crew, doesn't he? I know that news always promotes positive news. But the same is true of the rumors in the circle. I thought... "
"Yes, he always gets on well with the crew. He buys doughnuts for afternoon tea, and he prepares morning coffee. You know, the assistant comes with the takeout car, and then the whole crew can go and get it. He is perfect in all these public relations work. However, it's only limited to the crew. For us, you know. "
Nathan is talking with a middle-aged old man. They both lower their voice consciously, but there is a little echo effect in the channel of the studio. No matter how small the voice is, it will rub with the air, which is inevitable. It can be seen that they had a good talk.
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. He could see a light in the middle; The wrinkles of the skin obviously hang down, the layers of wrinkles show the power of time, and the small squint eyes make the wrinkles of the corners of the eyes more obvious; The lower lip is always involuntarily wrapped up with the upper lip. From time to time, you can smash it, smash it, and touch it with your right hand unconsciously. It looks like an old smoker.
The vicissitudes of life do not seem to have any recognition. It seems that an ordinary middle-aged American may have a little alcohol problem. His life is not too poor but not too good. More than half of the whole society is made up of this type of people. However, it always makes people feel familiar. I'm not sure whether it's similar to a stranger passing by in the company or the security guard of a certain building. It's a little funny that I feel familiar but can't say why.
"So, what are you looking forward to?" Lan Li raised his voice and said that the two people sitting on the opposite step were interrupted. At the same time, he turned his head and stood up in a panic.
Nathan's expression was a little embarrassed. He thought that his conversation was too loud and bothered lanli. He looked at lanli carefully and found that lanli was wearing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Without hearing the answer, Langley repeated his question and added, "in my opinion, as an actor, his public relations work has been very good, at least face project is full mark. So, what are you looking forward to? "
The old man laughed and shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe, I'm just jealous of his glow, or I'm jealous that everyone is saying good things about him. I can't help but want to pour some dirty water on him. " The self mocking words were full of wisdom, but they defused Lan Li's attack in silence.
This is an old stick.
The old man quickly came up and said, "good morning, lanli." From a distance, he stretched out his right hand, and the deliberate reverence seemed to test Lan Li's reaction, and he had no intention to hide it. It's so funny that Langley can't help smiling. "I'm Alfred Wayne. I've got three scenes on the set today, playing the crowd."
Lanli jumped down from the front of the car, arranged his clothes, and solemnly held out his right hand, holding the other's right hand, "good morning, I'm lanli hall."
This simple action, but let Alfred Leng Leng Leng. Respect. What Lan Li showed just now was respect, which put both sides in equal position. As a matter of fact, this is also what every Dragon set actor yearns for.
What they need is not the small favor of condescending alms, nor the special treatment of big stars, and they don't even need each other to remember their own names - after all, there are so many Longtao actors that even they can't remember the names of every colleague. All they need is respect, a smile, a nod, a look. That's all.
Alfred was talking about George Clooney. He didn't like George. Not because George offended him, not because George was too perfect, but because George was a politician. All of them are just tactics displayed to the public. Every move is full of hypocrisy and falsehood.
It can be said that he thought too much, or that he envied, envied and hated, but that's what happened.
So, is Lan Li really like this, or is he just wearing a more perfect mask?
