"There's also a possibility that Renly really doesn't know about the van, and he didn't come up with the list of requirements at all."

Nina and Matt are not fledglings who have just entered Hollywood. They have already seen countless intrigues in the Hollywood industry: taking advantage of the communication gap between actors and staff to do whatever they want, such a thing should not be too much in the crew. frequently.

For example, an assistant, in the name of an actor, asks for a good wine or a top-notch meal.

Another example is that managers, in the name of actors, secretly take discounts to enrich their own pockets.

Another example is that the agent, in the name of the actor, asks for privileges outside the crew.

To put it simply, the aura of a top actor can allow the staff who are attached to him to do many, many things, book a top restaurant, enjoy hotel discounts, even attract the attention of the opposite sex, and even get benefits at the level of physical communication. These things are countless.

However, these "welfare" quietly destroy the actor's reputation and reputation, so the consequences are also borne by the actor. Those negative remarks, those weird prejudices, and those bad impressions spread quietly in areas that the actors couldn't realize, and no one could realize how serious the "consequences" were before they broke out.

It is precisely because of this that every public figure must choose his own work team carefully, otherwise, if he encounters "pig teammates", he will really be unable to wash his hands if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Similarly, it is not difficult to use such a gap to discredit an actor.

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

Nina clenched her fists involuntarily, and when the hot chocolate burned the back of her hand, she realized that her right hand was holding a cup of hot chocolate.

Both of them panicked, but Nina waved to Matt, indicating that she was fine, put the hot chocolate on the ground, took out a wet tissue to wipe the back of her hands, frowned, and looked at Matt. , "What exactly do you mean? Do you know something inside?"

Matt looked left and right to make sure there was no one else around, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm not sure, there's no definite news, I just heard a few words from Patrick, Thomas and Renly have a bad relationship, Thomas had tried to get Renly and Bryce to create an affair before, but Renly refused."

There is no exact information, but it is enough for the parties-because Nina and the others are all directly handed over to Thomas, and all sources are all Thomas.

"Which Thomas?" Nina still needed to confirm, only then did she realize that her voice trembled slightly. It's not that she hasn't seen a rookie who is intrigued within the industry; but in comparison, it was only a small fight before, and this time the scale and the battle are completely different from the same level.

"Tour." Matt mouthed the name, confirming Nina's thoughts.

Nina was a little flustered, there were too many thoughts surging in her mind, she couldn't sort it out for a while, she couldn't even think calmly, and finally closed her eyes, "I need a little time." Then, Ni Na picked up the cup of hot chocolate on the ground, added a little sugar to herself, and got her brain to work, she had to rethink the whole thing from the very beginning—

All the facts she believed were overturned, the impressions she believed in were all shattered, and the emotions she held were all destroyed. See the big picture.

If Renly really doesn't know anything about the van, if Thomas is really working behind the scenes, if all this is really a whale fight and shrimps suffer... Then, everything that follows gradually becomes clear, those who do not All reasonable questions can be answered.

The brain finally became clear again, Nina covered her cheeks in annoyance, and let out a depressed and painful moan, she felt 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% sure." She looked up again, a bitter smile pulled from the corner of her mouth, "You know what? Renly's first day on set. , after I showed him the van, Thomas specifically asked me about the whole process. I felt strange at the time, but didn't think much about it; then the next day, Thomas approached me again and said that the crew needed to respect Renly's schedule , let all of our itineraries revolve around Renly."

"It's a normal request." Matt is not surprised at all, this is the treatment enjoyed by big-name actors.

For example, Meryl Streep, her request is to never film during Christmas and Thanksgiving, and there has been no exception for so many years in the industry, because she has to spend time with her family; for example, Reese Witherspoon, She asked herself to avoid the last scene of the day as much as possible because she wanted to be able to pick up the baby.

The above requirements are reasonable, and some actors are determined not to shoot the first scene in the morning because they are worried about their edema; some actors require a two-hour rest after lunch to ensure their state; some actors must enjoy afternoon tea in the afternoon, otherwise Direct strike; some actors require themselves not to work more than four hours in a row, otherwise their energy and state will not keep up.

Such schedules are actually very, very trivial and very difficult, but they are issues that every crew must face. whether happy or not

Huan, they all have to coordinate, which is also a very important part of Nina's work.

Nina nodded affirmatively, "I know, so I'm not surprised at all. I tried to arrange Renly's scenes in relatively concentrated time periods, and let the rest of the crew come to cooperate with him. But then, I thought, I had heard rumors that Renly was very picky on the set, and he had his own habits, so I made a special trip to ask his assistant to see if he had any special requirements for working hours. As a result, his assistant said , Renly is willing to cooperate 100% with the crew, everything is the crew first, he has no requirements."

Matt showed an unexpected look - not to mention Renly, even second-tier actors have their own habits, each actor will put forward his own requirements, as to whether the crew accepts it and how to arrange it, this is another story. On the whole, it is to see who has the highest card, and the others will cooperate.

Nina sneered, laughing at her own stupidity, under the preconceived notion that everything is wrong, "I thought he was deliberately making a name for himself, anyway, my schedule is still dominated by him; but looking at it now Come on, in fact, everything is Thomas setting up obstacles, and the fundamental purpose is to hope that we will confront him."

It sounds rough, these are just small tricks, and the methods do not have much technical content. It seems that as long as they face each other, they can see through, but in a huge crew of more than 300 people, small strategies can play a big role——

First of all, not all trivial matters will pass through Renly. Most of the staff do not have the opportunity to talk directly with Renly, especially the behind-the-scenes staff. Because the personnel base is too large, they rarely even have the opportunity to appear at the same time as Renly. an occasion. Then it becomes difficult to face the confrontation, and most of the time, you are immersed in your own world and speculating.

Secondly, maybe some people won't care about Renly's "difficulties", but who can guarantee that everyone won't care? Those seemingly insignificant little things can quietly plant the seeds of complaints. The larger the crew, the easier it is for conflicts to take root. Unconsciously, unexpected effects can often be brewed.

Thinking of this, Nina groaned angrily again, "God, I remember now, the day I took Renly to visit the van, Renly never broke everything head-on, but he already I already know, I just don'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, and Nina also realized her own stupidity. Looking at the cup of hot chocolate in her hand, she felt a strong sense of powerlessness, and she didn't know how to explain it.

"You said, what is Thomas doing? If he hated Renly so much, then he didn't agree with Renly to star in the first place. Now that Renly is in the crew, he is stumbling behind the scenes. What is the logic behind this?" His face was gloomy, and he grumbled.

Their understanding of the battle of wits and courage among the executives of Universal Pictures is very limited.

Matt shrugged, "Who knows? How can we possibly know what they're thinking? But I don't think it's over yet."

"What? It's not over yet!" Nina almost jumped, but this time she managed to get it under control.

Matt said of course, "Do you think he put so many obstacles just to make him uncomfortable?" The two "hims" were referring to different people, but Nina could understand.

"What the hell does he want to do?" Nina said speechlessly.

Matt is not very clear, "I don't know, make you hate him? I can only see the superficial phenomenon, and I don't know the rest."

Nina smiled wryly, "Then he did succeed." Only now...

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

Either support Thomas, shut up tight, and let things go on; or choose Renly and adjust the mistakes of the past little by little.

Matt was silent, agreeing without objection: in this confrontation, they can choose not to take sides, but they must understand their position, otherwise they will also be very passive.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, should it? Where there are people, there is right and wrong, and where there is a conflict of interest, there is a position. The question is, how should they choose?
