Chapter 2181

"Hoo..." Nathan stretched a big stretch, the whole person felt some backache, can't help yawning, eyes almost can't open.

"Did you sneak out to be a thief last night?" Amanda Gibney (Amanda-Gibney) came smiling make complaints about Nathan.

"Hey, Amanda, good morning." Nathan patted his mouth, put away his yawn, took the lead in saying hello, and then answered the question, "last night, I was tossing until four o'clock in the morning. God, now I strongly doubt that I can stand and fall asleep like a foal. The script for Argus is getting late. How about you? Hasn't Rachel's play come out yet? Well, when the shooting starts, you'll be just like me. "

Amanda Gibney is Rachel Weitz's assistant. She accompanies Rachel in filming. She is several years older than Nathan, and her career time is longer than Nathan's. because lanli and Rachel are male and female protagonists, Nathan and Amanda often deal with each other and quickly become friends.

"Well, rumor has it that Langley is extremely critical of the script, while Rachel is a lot more popular. Instead, she doesn't like me to make too many changes to the script." Amanda asked curiously, "so, do you really need to make all the comments on the script? I mean every line? "

"No, no, No." Nathan waved his hand again and again. "In fact, Langley likes to finish the work by himself. He's really critical of the script, but he doesn't need my help. After getting the script, lanli will read the whole script over and over again. Not only his own characters, but also other characters and the whole story will be read in detail. He likes to establish the internal connection between the characters, that is, to build a society outside the script. "

"Wow, he did all the work himself?" Amanda can't believe it - what are assistants for? They don't just serve tea and water.

An actor's assistant has a basic job, that is, to read the script. Unlike agents and managers, an assistant reads the script to mark, for example, highlight the actor's lines; Another example is to mark the scenes to be shot today; Another example is to find the last scene of the next scene, so that the actors can complete the series... And so on, which is actually to reduce the tedious workload of the actors.

Don't underestimate the assistant's work of reading the script. It can often save a lot of time for the actors, so that they can enter the state faster and recite the lines faster. A really good assistant must understand how to read and analyze the script, which is the basic work.

Amanda also needs to read the script. However, every actor has his own special habits, and assistants need to adjust at any time. For example, Rachel just needs to mark today's scenes and even the scenes, so that she can know where she is in the story; But when it comes to lines, Rachel doesn't like highlighters. She is still used to reading and absorbing by herself, tasting the emotions.

The details are different.

Comparatively speaking, Amanda's work of reading plays is much easier, while Nathan's is much harder. It's rumored that Langley is picky and tedious about plays. It has crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Hollywood to Britain, and Amanda has heard about it.

"Yes, the script is a very important part of lanli's preparatory work - in fact, even if I have finished the highlight work, lanli needs to do it again, because in the process of reading the script, his mind constantly collides with the characters, and he is not willing to let others do it for him." There are too many rumors about lanli, good and bad, and Nathan has to constantly explain to others to clarify for lanli.

Nathan continued, "in the past, I used to read the script according to the marks that lanli had finished, and then mark today's scenes or scenes that continue the character's state. In fact, my work is very easy, and lanli doesn't like me to disturb his thoughts. He just needs to remind him of the shooting content every day. But this time is an exception. It's the first time for me and lanli to meet each other. Lanli is very excited, but it takes a lot of time for him to read the script. What we lack most is time, so I need to finish this work ahead of time to help him save some time. "

The shooting process of "lobster" is different. While shooting, he creates and changes. Every day, he changes his lines and details, and updates the plot and script. This also means that new things may appear every day, and even overthrow the whole content.

This also means that lanli can't finish the preparation work of reading the script ahead of time; And every day's shooting work must be carried out step by step. Langley is still the most important actor, which is a new experience for both Argus and Langley. Therefore, Nathan's work is very necessary.

Every evening or evening, oggs would revise and complete the script, and then give it to the assistants of the actors, who would read the script all night, complete the notes, and then hand it over to the actors; When the actors get up in the morning and have breakfast, they quickly start to read the script and recite the lines. Everything happens on the spot - everything must be ready before the crew officially starts shooting at 9 o'clock.

Last night, oggs tossed until 11:30 in the night before handing over the script to the assistants. Among them, Langley had the most lines and plays. Nathan was busy until nearly four o'clock before he finished his work. Then he got up after less than three hours' sleep. Now his eyes can be closed at any time.

Nathan peeked around, approached Amanda, and said in a low voice, "when Rachel's part starts, you'll know how painful it is."

Now the shooting of the hotel part is close to the late stage, but the forest part has not started, and Rachel has not appeared, so Nathan said so.

Amanda couldn't help holding her forehead. "No... but Rachel's lines don't seem to be many... I hope so, otherwise Rachel's shooting will be very troublesome. She needs time to settle her emotions, and those things need to be digested by herself. Otherwise, her performance will easily lose its level. "

This is Rachel's self assessment, and her performance habit. Amanda just knows Rachel too much, not Tucao or make complaints about it.

At this point, Amanda began to worry, "ah... Why don't I think the situation is too wonderful? When we get to the second half, Langley has completely entered the state, but Rachel still needs to explore. God, I start to worry now. Can't oggs give us the script as soon as possible? "

Nathan had no choice but to laugh, "because he's also good at scripts."

"Isn't it all because of lanli?" Amanda make complaints about his teeth.

Nathan couldn't help laughing twice, but refused to give in. "Lanli just wanted the movie to be better. It must be said that the hardest thing is still lanli."

Everyone knows that "blue is a masochism..." Amanda turned a blind eye, but the subsequent Tucao did not make complaints about it, and Gina-Jay Gina appeared at their breakfast table, interrupting Amanda's words, revealing a brilliant smile. "Good morning, Gina!" Pretend that nothing happened just now.

"Morning." Gina nodded in response, but without too much politeness, "Nathan, there's something going on outside the crew. Do you need to go out and confirm?"

"What's the situation?" Nathan is not flustered. He has experienced many battles now. Although he is a little tired and sleepy, he is still energetic and skillful in dealing with various situations.

"I'm not sure about the specific situation, but simply speaking, someone came to visit lanli." Gina omits the process and explains the result concisely. "It's not a special person, it should be an ordinary person. It's not a big deal, but she has John's wallet and blue Lee's hat."

"What?" Nathan blinked, a little confused - why John and Langley's stuff? Is it a thief? Or what?

Gina nodded to confirm Nathan's confusion. "Look, that's the problem. We don't understand what's going on, but it's John's Wallet - there's his driver's license in it, but... The hat's not sure."

According to the normal process of the crew, it is impossible for these so-called visiting fans to enter the crew, otherwise the shooting will not continue. The crew is equipped with security personnel in order to maintain the safety and stability of the crew, so these little things will not really affect the filming of the crew.

But now the situation is special, Gina just came to ask, she did not disturb the actor, but came to ask the assistant.

"Or shall we let her leave her things and send them out?" Gina gives advice, which is the usual way to deal with it.

"What else did she say?" Nathan didn't make a rash decision, but he was full of questions.

"Er... You know, those old sayings, she and lanli are friends. Yesterday lanli helped her, and she hopes to thank lanli in person. Balabala. Nothing new. " Gina, obviously not convinced, finished off perfunctorily, then rolled her eyes.

Because there are so many similar sayings, everyone pretends to know big people and proves his sense of existence in this way; But this is not the case in the real world. Not everyone can get to know Langley hall. It's like that you can't meet a prince in every street. The story of Cinderella only takes place in a fairy tale.

"Last night?" Nathan looked at Amanda and hesitated a little. "Last night Langley did go out with John, and Ben, they went to the small town to see a movie. Maybe her words are true? However, Lan Li did not mention it. I think I'll go out and have a look. Anyway, it's not a big deal. If it's really lanli's hat, I should also express my thanks. You just said that the wallet is John's, right? "

"Yes, I'm going to look for Simon." Gina nodded in the affirmative. "See if John wants to thank you." Simon Smith is John Riley's assistant.

Nathan nodded. "OK, I'll go out and have a look now." These little things, he has been able to handle independently, put down the knife and fork, nodded to Amanda, Nathan quickly walked out towards the door of the hotel.
