Chapter 1852

"Another possibility is that lanli really doesn't know about the car. He didn't put forward the list of requirements at all."

Nina and Matt are not new to Hollywood. They have seen countless intrigues in the Hollywood industry for a long time: using the communication gap between actors and staff to do whatever they want, so don't do it too often in the cast.

For example, the assistant, with the name of the actor, asks for good wine or a top meal.

For another example, the manager, in the name of an actor, secretly takes a discount and fills his own pocket.

Agents, for example, claim privileges outside of the cast in the name of actors.

In short, the aura of a top actor can make the staff attached to him do a lot of things, such as booking a top restaurant, enjoying hotel discounts, even attracting the attention of the opposite sex, and even getting the benefits of physical communication.

But these "welfare" quietly damage the actor's reputation and reputation, so the consequences are borne by the actor. Those negative comments, those weird prejudices, those bad impressions are quietly spreading in the fields that actors are not aware of. No one can realize how serious the "consequences" are before they break out.

Because of this, every public figure must carefully choose his own work team, otherwise, if he meets "pig teammates", he will really jump into the Yellow River.

Similarly, it is not difficult to use such a gap to discredit the actor's reputation.

Matt proposed a bold possibility, and Nina understood it immediately.

Nina clenched her fists. When the hot chocolate scalded the back of her hand, she realized that her right hand was holding a cup of hot chocolate.

Both of them got flustered, but Nina waved her hand to Matt, motioned that she was ok, put the hot chocolate on the floor, took out a wet tissue, wiped the back of her hand, frowned and looked at Matt, "what do you mean? Do you know something about it? "

Matt looked around to make sure there was no one else, then said in a low voice, "I'm not sure. I don't have any definite news now. I just heard a few words from Patrick. Thomas and lenley didn't deal with each other. Before, Thomas tried to make lenley and Bryce have an affair, but lenley refused."

There's no exact information, but it's enough for the people involved - Nina, all of their work is directly handed over to Thomas, and all the sources are Thomas.

"Which Thomas?" Nina still needs to make sure that she realizes that her voice is shaking slightly. It's not that she has never seen a rookie in the industry intrigue; But in contrast, in the past, it was only a small fight. This time, the scale of the battle was not at the same level as the battle.

"Tour." Matt confirmed Nina's idea by saying the name with his mouth.

Nina was a little flustered. She had too many ideas in her mind. She couldn't make it clear for a while. She couldn't even think calmly. Finally, she could only close her eyes and said, "I need a little time." Then, Nina picked up the cup of hot chocolate on the floor and added a little sugar to her brain. She had to rethink the whole thing from the beginning——

All the facts she believed were overturned, all the impressions she firmly believed were broken, and all the emotions she held were destroyed. It's like messing up the whole jigsaw puzzle, simply tearing it down and starting from scratch. Only in this way can we see the whole picture clearly.

If Langley really knew nothing about the van, if Thomas really used the means behind the scenes, if all this was really a whale fight and shrimp suffered... Then all the subsequent things gradually became clear, and all those unreasonable questions could be solved.

The brain is clear again at last. Nina covers her cheek with chagrin and groans bitterly. She feels like an idiot.

"Nina, I can't be 100% sure. It's just a guess." Matt said again.

Nina shook her head slightly. "No, Matt, I'm 100 percent sure." She looked up again and pulled a bitter smile from the corner of her mouth. "Do you know? On the first day of lanli's arrival, after I showed him the van, Thomas asked me about the whole process. I was surprised, but didn't think much about it; Then the next day, Thomas came to me again and said that the crew should respect the work and rest time of lenley and let all our itineraries revolve around him. "

"It's a normal requirement." Matts is not surprised. That's what big name actors get.

For example, Meryl Streep, whose requirement is never to film during Christmas and Thanksgiving, has never been an exception for so many years, because she has to accompany her family; Reese Witherspoon, for example, asked herself to avoid the last scene of the day as much as possible, because she wanted to be able to pick up the children.

The above requirements are reasonable. In addition, some actors are determined not to shoot the first scene in the morning for fear of edema; Some actors ask for a two-hour break after lunch to keep fit; Some actors have to enjoy afternoon tea in the afternoon, otherwise they will go on strike directly; Some actors require that they can't work more than four hours in a row, otherwise their energy and state will not keep up.

Such itineraries are actually very trivial and very difficult, but they are a subject that every drama group must face. Like it or not, they have to coordinate, which is a very important part of Nina's work.

Nina nodded in affirmation. "I know, so I'm not surprised. I try my best to arrange the parts of lanli's play in a relatively concentrated time period, so that the rest of the crew can cooperate with him. But later, it occurred to me that I had heard the rumor that lanli was very picky in the crew before. He had his own habits, so I asked his assistant to see if he had any special requirements for working hours. As a result, his assistant said, "lanli is willing to cooperate with the crew 100%, and the crew is the first thing. He doesn't have any requirements."

Matt showed an unexpected look - not to mention Langley. Even the second tier actors have their own habits. Every actor will put forward his own requirements. As for whether the crew will accept it and how to arrange it, this is another story. On the whole, it depends on who is the biggest player, and others will cooperate.

Nina sneered at her own stupidity. Under the preconceived idea, everything was wrong. "I thought he was doing fame on purpose at that time. Anyway, my schedule was still based on him; But now it seems that Thomas is actually setting up obstacles in all things, and the fundamental purpose is to hope that we can confront him. "

Roughly speaking, these are just small tricks. There is not much technical content in the means. It seems that we can see through them as long as we face off. However, in a large drama group of more than 300 people, small tricks can play a big role——

First of all, not all trivia will go through lanli. Most of the staff do not have the opportunity to have a direct dialogue with lanli, especially the staff behind the scenes. Because the staff base is too large, they seldom even have the opportunity to appear on the same occasion with lanli. Then it becomes difficult to confront each other in a positive way. Most of the time, they are immersed in their own world to speculate.

Secondly, some people may not care about lanli's "trickery", but who can guarantee that everyone will not care? Those seemingly unimportant little things can quietly plant the seeds of complaint. The larger the cast, the easier the contradictions will take root. Unconsciously, it is often able to brew an unexpected effect.

Thinking of this, Nina groaned again, "God, I remember now. On the day when I took lanli to visit the van, lanli didn't poke everything in front of me, but he already knew it. He just didn't want to make me lose face. How bad my attitude was at that time. Ah... I want to die. "

Those confused and contradictory details finally found the answer. Nina also realized her stupidity. At this time, when she looked at the cup of hot chocolate in her hand, she felt powerless and didn't know how to explain it.

"You say, what on earth is Thomas doing? If he hated blue Li so much, he would not have agreed that blue Li would play the leading role at the beginning. Now that blue Li has entered the production group, he is making trouble behind his back. What's the logic Nina's face was full of gloom and grumbled.

Their understanding of the wisdom and courage of the top management of Universal Pictures is very limited.

Matt shrugged. "Who knows? How can we understand their ideas? But I don't think it's over yet. "

"What? It's not over yet Nina was about to jump, but this time she was in control.

Matt naturally said, "do you think he's putting up so many obstacles just to make him uncomfortable?" The two "he" refer to different people, but Nina can understand them.

"What on earth does he want to do?" Nina said in silence.

Matt didn't know, "I don't know. Do you hate him? I can only see the surface, I don't know anything else. "

Nina grinned bitterly. "Then he did succeed." Just now

"What are you going to do next?" Matt asked a simple question, but Nina understood the meaning of it. "Do you mean which side I choose?"

Either support Thomas, shut up tightly and let things go on; Or choose lanli to adjust the previous mistakes bit by bit.

Matt was silent and agreed without any objection: in this confrontation, they can not choose their position, but they must understand their position, otherwise they will be very passive.

It shouldn't be unexpected, should it? Where there are people, there are right and wrong, and where there are conflicts of interest, there are positions. The question is, how should they choose?
