The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2217

[Two thousand one hundred and eighty assistant]

“Huh…” Nathan stretched a lot, his back felt a little sore and he couldn’t help but start yawning, his eyes almost couldn’t open.

“Sneaked out to be a thief last night?” Amanda-Gibney came over with a big smile and quipped Nathan.

“Hey, Amanda, good morning.” Nathan clapped his mouth, stopped yawning, said hello first, and then answered the question, “Last night tossed until four in the morning, God, I have a strong suspicion now, I Like a colt, you can fall asleep while standing. Oggs’s script is getting late, how about you? Isn’t Rachel’s script out yet? Then, when the filming starts, you and I’m the same.”

Amanda Gibney was Rachel Weisz’s assistant and accompanied Rachel on the set. She was a few years older than Nathan and had been in the business a bit longer because Renly And Rachel is the relationship between the hero and heroine, Nathan and Amanda also often deal with, quickly become friends.

“Ha, it is rumored that Renly is terribly picky about the script, and Rachel is a lot more casual, but she doesn’t like me making too many changes to the script.” Amanda asked curiously, “So, Do you really need to make all the annotations to the script? I mean every line?”

“No, no, no.” Nathan waved his hands, “Actually, Renly likes to do the work himself. He’s really picky about the script, But basically I don’t need my help. After getting the script, Renly will read the whole script over and over again, not only his own characters, but also other characters and the whole story. He really likes to establish the inner connection between the characters. To get up is to construct a society outside the script.”

“Wow, he did all this work himself?” Amanda couldn’t believe it – what was the assistant for?

They are not just serving tea and water.

An actor’s assistant has a basic job, which is to read the script – different from the agent and manager, the assistant reads the script to complete the annotation, for example, to highlight the actor’s lines; The scenes are marked; another example is to find the previous scene of the next shooting scene, so that the actors can complete the continuous play… and so on, it is actually to reduce the tedious workload of the actors.

Don’t underestimate the work of the assistant reading the script, which can often save the actors a lot of time, allowing the actors to enter the state faster and recite the lines faster.

A really good assistant must understand how to read and parse the script, which is the basic work.

Amanda also needs to read the script.

However, each actor has his own special habits, and the assistant needs to adjust it at any time. For example, Rachel, she just needs to mark the scenes shot today and the scenes of the series to let her know that she is in the middle of the story. Which position; but when it comes to the lines, Rachel doesn’t like highlighting, she is still used to reading and absorbing by herself,

Taste the emotion in it.

The details are still different.

In comparison, Amanda’s job of reading the script is much simpler, while Nathan’s work is much harder – Renly’s picky and cumbersome script, rumors have crossed the Atlantic from Hollywood to the UK, and Amanda has also heard of it.

“Yes, the script is a very important part of Renly’s preparations – in fact, even if I did the highlighting, Renly would have to do it all over again because he was reading the script and his mind was constantly He doesn’t want to let others do it for him to collide with characters.” There are so many rumors about Renly, both good and bad, and Nathan has to constantly explain to others and clarify for Renly.

Nathan went on to say, “Before, I used to read the script based on what Renly had done, and then read the script to mark today’s scenes or scenes that continued the character’s state. In fact, my job is very easy, and Renly doesn’t like me very much. To disturb his thoughts, just remind him of the content of the daily shooting. But this time is an exception. It is the first time for me and Renly to meet. Renly is very excited, but his reading the script takes a lot of time, and What we lack the most right now 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, creating, and changing, Oggs every day. The lines and details are revised, and the plot and script are updated every day, which also means that new things may appear every day, and even the entire content may be overturned.

This also means that there is no way for Renly to complete the preparations for reading the script in advance; and the filming work must be carried out step by step every day. Renly is still the most important actor. It’s all a new experience, so Nathan’s work is very necessary.

Every evening or night, Oggs will revise and complete the script, and then hand it over to the assistants of the actors. The assistants will read the script all night, complete the remarks, and then pass it on to the actors; after the actors wake up in the morning, they have breakfast. , the actors quickly began to read the script, recite the lines, and everything happened on the spot – everything had to be prepared before the crew officially started shooting at nine o’clock.

Last night, Oggs struggled until half past eleven before handing over the script to the assistants. Among them, Renly had the most lines and scenes. Nathan was busy until nearly four o’clock before finishing his work, and then fell asleep. I woke up in three hours, and now I can really close my eyes at any time.

Nathan glanced around secretly, approached Amanda, and said in a low voice, “When Rachel’s scene starts, you’ll know how painful it is.”

Now the filming of the hotel part is in the late stages, but the forest part has not yet started. Rachel hasn’t played yet, that’s why Nathan said that.

Amanda couldn’t help but help her forehead, “No way… But Rachel doesn’t seem to have many lines… I hope so, otherwise Rachel’s filming will be troublesome. She needs time to settle her emotions, and those things need her own. To complete the digestion, otherwise, her performance will easily lose the level.”

This is Rachel’s self-assessment and her performance habit, Amanda just knows Rachel too well, not complaining or commenting.

Speaking of this, Amanda also began to worry, “Ah…why do I think the situation is not very good, and when I enter the second half, Renly has fully entered the state, but Rachel still needs to feel, God, I Now I’m starting to worry. Can’t Oggs give us the script soon?”

Nathan laughed helplessly, “Because he’s also very good at scripting.”

“It’s not all because of Renly?” Amanda He gritted his teeth and complained.

Nathan couldn’t help laughing twice, but refused to give in. “Renly just wants the movie to be better. It must be said that Renly is still the hardest.”

“Everyone knows that Renly is a masochist…” Amanda rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t continue complaining, and the show manager Gina-Jay appeared at their breakfast table, interrupting Amanda’s words with a big smile,” Good morning, Gina!” Pretend as if nothing ever happened.

“Morning.” Gina nodded in response, but not too polite, “Nathan, there is a situation outside the crew, do you need to go out to confirm?”

“What’s the situation?” Nathan is not flustered, he is now After a hundred battles, although a little tired and sleepy, he still cheered up and dealt with various situations skillfully.

“I don’t know the specifics, but to put it simply, someone came to visit Renly.” Gina omitted the process and briefly explained the results, “It’s not a special person, it should be an ordinary person, it was not a big deal, but She’s holding John’s purse and Renly’s hat.”

“What?” Nathan blinked, confused—why John and Renly stuff?

Is it a thief?

Or what?

Gina nodded affirming Nathan’s confusion, “Look, that’s the problem, and we don’t understand what’s going on, but that’s John’s wallet—it’s got his driver’s license in it, it’s just… the hat isn’t quite sure. ”

According to the normal process of the crew, it is naturally impossible for these so-called visiting fans to enter the crew, otherwise the filming will not continue.

The crew is equipped with guards to maintain the safety and stability of the crew, so these little things will not really affect the shooting of the crew.

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

“Or do we let her leave things behind and send them away?” Gina gave advice, which is also the usual way of dealing with it.

“What else did she say?” Nathan didn’t make a rash decision, but he was indeed full of question marks.

“Uh… you know, those old rhetoric, she and Renly are friends, and Renly helped her yesterday, and she hopes to thank Renly in person. Barabara. Nothing new.” Gina was obviously not convinced. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com finished the explanation perfunctorily, and then rolled his eyes.

Because there are countless similar rhetoric, everyone pretends to know big people, and proves their existence in this way; but this is not the case in the real world, not everyone can know Renly-Hall, as if not in the streets You can meet the prince – the story of “Cinderella” only happens in fairy tales.

“Last night?” Nathan looked at Amanda and hesitated for a moment. “Renly did go out with John last night, and Ben, they went to the town to watch a movie. Maybe, what she said was true. But Renly didn’t mention it. I thought, I’ll go out and see, it’s not a big deal, and if it’s really Renly’s hat, I should say thank you. You just said that the purse is indeed John’s, right? Right?”

“Yes, I’m going over to find Simon.” Gina nodded affirmatively, “Let’s see if John wants to make a special trip to thank you.” Simon-Smith is John Riley’s assistant .

Nathan nodded, “Okay, I’ll go out and have a look now.” He could handle these small matters independently, put down the knife and fork, nodded to Amanda, and Nathan walked quickly towards the hotel door. go out.
