The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 267 Hidden Figures
I have experienced it before when filming "Friends", working from 9 to 5, this is the normal working environment in Hollywood.

Film crews are no exception. The work schedule may be unstable due to the shooting of special scenes, such as night scenes or early morning scenes, etc. But overall, the eight-hour working time is relatively fixed. There are detailed provisions in the contract.

So, are there exceptions?
of course.

Some independent crews, some filming locations that can only be used during special periods of time, and some situations where you need to work overtime after some unexpected circumstances.

And so on and so forth.

But overall, eight hours of work is the norm, and the larger the crew, the more so, otherwise the crew may get into trouble——

More than one union may protest, the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, the Cinematographers Guild, the Sound and Sound Effects Guild, etc.

In fact, the crew themselves were not willing.

A very important and very practical reason is: the situation does not allow it.

Take "Spider-Man" as an example. They chose to shoot on location in New York. Each scene required a filming permit. The filming permit issued by the city hall has detailed regulations, including time, location and other information. Once the time is exceeded, The crew must leave, regardless of whether filming is completed.

If the filming is not completed and re-shooting is required, you will need to apply for a new filming permit.

It is precisely because of this that large Hollywood film companies often prefer studio shooting because the situation is controllable and is not disturbed by the natural environment, urban environment and unexpected factors, ensuring that the crew can proceed according to the shooting plan.

At the same time, when choosing cities for on-site filming, Hollywood film companies often like Atlanta or Toronto, because these cities have introduced relevant favorable policies, which can not only reduce taxes, but are also willing to provide convenience and green light for the crew to shoot.

New York?

Not so friendly.

But what’s interesting is that there are still countless film crews applying to shoot on location in New York every year.

Same thing in Los Angeles.

Today, the filming of the "Spider-Man" crew at the entrance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art ended early, but the crew had no way to advance the subsequent scenes, because the subsequent scenes also have reserved locations and times. They can only start until tomorrow. The crew must follow the instructions Filming is planned.

The filming here is over, so let’s call it a day.

What's more, after all, who doesn't like to get off work?
"Hard!"

"You performed well today and can have a good rest tonight."

Amidst the noise and laughter, Anson returned to the actor's trailer, preparing to take off his makeup and change clothes——

This is the crew's shared RV.

Anson's current level is not enough to have his own exclusive RV, but the crew is different.

The "Spider-Man" crew was filming around New York and needed to put on makeup and change clothes at any time, so the crew prepared three RVs. Like gypsies, they traveled all the way. Everything can be done in the RV. If you feel tired, you can also You can take a nap in the RV.

In addition, RVs also have one of the most important functions: confidentiality.

Protect the actors from the paparazzi and keep some modeling secrets as much as possible. Although it is not so strict, the RV is at least a relatively private space that blocks the disturbing sight of the outside world. It is like a mobile secret room, playing the role of a safe haven. .

After the work was all over, Anson entered the RV, opened the small refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, and drank it.

Gudu. Gudu.

After pouring it all into his stomach, Anson held an empty bottle and stood quietly, slightly stunned, feeling the cold air dissipate, letting all the stuffy heat, tension, and excitement relax bit by bit. , all the thoughts in the brain also calmed down.

He needed a little breathing space to clear his mind.

then.

Just standing there, thinking nothing, my mind went blank. Without warning, my mouth began to secrete saliva, and I suddenly wanted to eat potato chips.

For no reason, I just wanted to eat it. Creak.

In the silence and peace, a trivial sound broke the balance, interrupted Anson's thoughts, and instantly dragged Anson into reality. He reflexively looked at the source of the sound, but his eyes were still focused, slightly confused, and searching. Wasn't able to find anything for a while.

Subconsciously, Anson stretched his ears, trying to catch the trace with hearing, but there was only silence in the air——

Hula la.

A roar of an engine lingered on the street corner not far away, reminding me that this was the center of New York, and it was normal for some noise to occur.

Maybe, it's just some noise; maybe, it's just an illusion.

Anson had some suspicions. Maybe he had consumed too much today, was tired and sleepy, and had sensitive nerves, which led to some wrong judgments.

Creak. Creaking.

The sound came again. This time, Anson did not lose focus and captured it accurately. He woke up instantly and stayed alert. Could it be a mouse?

After careful judgment, Anson immediately denied his guess. The sound was more like friction, or the sound of a wooden board under pressure.

Anson was not afraid or panicked, but instead walked towards the source of the sound——

As a time-traveler, I have experienced such magical things, and once again faced the unexplainable phenomena of nature, I felt more calm.

Maybe he should have asked someone to come over; maybe he should have opened the RV door, but he didn't.

Not only was he not there, but he also showed some curiosity and inquiry, and boldly approached slowly.

creak.

The sound came again, like sonar, helping Anson complete the triangulation and determine the direction. One hundred percent, there was something else in the RV.

That corner is clearly the wardrobe of the RV.

It is said to be a wardrobe, but the space is limited, so the crew will not use the wardrobe. All the costumes are in another RV and hung on the gantry. The wardrobe in front of you is used as a tool box to store some sundries. If a mouse is inside Building a home doesn’t seem so strange.

One step, another step.

Anson gradually approached.

The trivial sound seemed to enter the pipes of the RV and scattered above the head, like rolling stones, and his scalp felt numb.

This……

He lowered his head and looked at the "weapon" in his hand. It was an empty plastic bottle. It was very good and very intimidating. But after looking around, there was no good choice. Instead, the corners of Anson's mouth slightly raised and he adjusted his gestures. , holding the empty plastic bottle tightly and assuming a Wing Chun stance.

Although he is not a martial arts master and cannot use an empty plastic bottle to exert the power of Thor's hammer, he still has no problem pretending to bluff.

Hold it tightly, as if it were really Mjolnir.

One step, another step.

When Anson was about to open the closet door, he never expected that the closet door would be opened first, and a black and round body hit the closet wall with a muffled sound. But before Anson could take a look, a black pool of blood appeared. The big mouth has already hit me——

Click.

Not a monster, but more than a monster, it's a flash.

Click, click, click, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the lights and sounds were released.
