Chapter 105, just to respect the former self
The function variety show is still filming, but Wang Taika is a little careless.
Originally, there was nothing to pay special attention to. In fact, the technical content of variety shows is not as high as that of music videos. A few people talked and laughed about the function, but it was all nonsense anyway, so fans would watch this thing happily.
I didn’t shoot anything in particular in the morning. Apart from the simple beginning, it was mainly about some necessary supplements to the sky. In addition, the sky was a bit cloudy and the sun would be better in the afternoon, so I didn’t shoot much. I just distorted the song.
The song is finished.
In the blink of an eye, it’s time for lunch. The film crew has already found the relevant restaurant, and lunch will be served here.
Wang Taika's habit has always been like this. As long as it is a film crew he manages, let alone other things, but at least the food must be good and must not be perfunctory. Food is the most direct motivation besides money.
The place is not big, so there is no distinction. The idols and the staff just sit and eat together.
Wang Taika was originally sitting among the staff, but it turned out that several staff members next to him were really naughty. Seeing that the seat next to the function was not big enough, they actually gave it up.
It turned out to be extremely embarrassing. Song Xiangcai was stuck directly next to Wang Taicai.
But this is a film crew, and it is necessary to avoid suspicion. So Song Xiangcai paused deliberately, thinking that she would wait and sit down, so she naturally avoided it.
Jing saw Song Xiangcai's concerns and looked at Wang Taika sitting there. He remembered that he sang in the morning and deliberately pretended to be vomiting, so he was not angry at all.
Of course, the Cold War is still the Cold War, and Akira won't deliberately seek trouble or anything. That would be too childish. It's unnecessary, absolutely unnecessary.
But since Wang Taika looks so annoyed at him, he still has to sit here. Anyway, it’s not him who is upset, how great!
So Jing sat down next to Wang Taika very naturally, and turned around and waved: "Ouni, come next to me."
The staff greeted the functionaries warmly, but Wang Taika lowered his head and pretended to look at his phone, as if he was busy with work, and just ignored it.
Dishes were served one after another. France is still very good at eating. Although it is not a big restaurant, it is still very Western-style and looks classy.
The makeup artists on the team couldn't help but praise: "I have worked with so many film crews, and I feel that the working dinner level of the seventh team is the highest. No, this is not a working dinner anymore, it is obviously a dinner party!"
Everyone laughed, including Song Xiangcai and others, well, except Jing.
Wang Taika looked at it and asked, "There are two people missing. Where are they?"
"The youngest and the others parked the car and will be here soon." The person on the side replied: "They will be there soon, otherwise..."
Wang Taika said: "Since it's very soon, let's wait. If there are not enough people, then wait for them for a while, and then start eating when they arrive."
As soon as Wang Taika said these words, even the few people who were trying to move the knives and forks stopped. After all, they were the only ones eating in the whole place, which was really awkward.
"Deputy leader, it's not necessary, otherwise..."
"What else?" Wang Taika looked at the man and said, "Since you are the youngest of the seventh group, please wait a moment. What's more, we are a team. If you are no longer here, I will wait for you."
The man shut his mouth, but instead of becoming awkward, the atmosphere at the scene became more harmonious.
Another person next to him said: "Deputy team leader, I have long heard that you are the most considerate subordinate in the film department. I am indeed right!"
Wang Taika smiled: "When I was unknown in the early years, I did a lot of things. There was even a period of time where I had to make money by photographing weddings for others. I was very depressed at that time. Sometimes I participated in some activities.
By the time the cameraman was eating, there were already leftovers. Most of the food in the hotel was greasy and disgusting as soon as it was cold. When I was eating cold food, I thought... Isn't the cameraman a human being? Why?
How could I be ignored like this? So... what I am doing now is just to respect my former self, that's all."
Wang Taika's words touched many people in the film crew. As a behind-the-scenes worker, who has never suffered cold treatment? No one thought that there was such a reason behind Wang Taika's behavior.
For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Taika with a little more respect and gratitude.
Facts have proved that Wang Taika's routine is very successful. In fact, the employees of most companies are not very demanding. No matter how hard and tiring the work is, they can actually endure it, but they cannot be wronged.
This is a very simple truth that many people cannot understand. But the fact is this. Everyone has to work hard and have motivation. Bonuses and high wages are the direct motivation, but the working environment determines the cohesion of a company.
No matter how hard it is, you can persevere, because it is a struggle. But if others ignore you, are treated differently, and you have to endure the injustice, then few people will continue to do it unless the salary is ridiculously high.
South Korea has a lot of social pressure, a harsh hierarchy, and many companies that impose obedience and oppression. It’s no wonder that the incidence of mental illness among Koreans is so high.
Wang Taika has seen all this for a long time. I still remember when the first episode of the function variety show was filmed. At that time, Wang Taika was still an ordinary temporary employee with no real power and just followed the crowd.
During the break, the food that the functionaries ate was still different from that of ordinary employees. Even Wang Taika, a newcomer, was not even qualified to sit at the table to eat. He had to carry his own food to the table.
Outside, find a cool place under the car to eat.
It was really miserable at the time, and I don’t know how I could endure it.
Therefore, although eating is only a very small detail in the filming crew, it can directly affect many things, such as motivation and morale. This may sound like nonsense, but in reality it is really not an exaggeration at all.
.
Things in this world are so magical. If you just say it, no one will believe that a simple meal can determine so many things. It feels like playing house in a hasty way.
But comparing our hearts to each other, the artists sang and danced, the cameras, lights, makeup and costumes were all running around, and in the end we couldn't even have a meal together, which made no one feel comfortable.
What many people care about is not the meal, but whether they get the respect they deserve after all their hard work. That's the truth.
Since Wang Taika began to gradually take charge of the seventh team, the food standards of the seventh team have been rapidly improved. Who in the S.M production department doesn't know that the seventh team has the best food. Otherwise, why would there be so many people in the seventh team now?
Many of them were transferred from other groups.
Seeing how respected Wang Taika was among the film crew, Xueqiu couldn't help but whisper: "I feel like PD Wang is different now from when I first met him."
Luna said: "Become handsome?"
Jing pouted and said nothing.
Xueqiu smiled and said: "It feels like watching a child grow up little by little and become responsible."
Song Xiangcai smiled helplessly: "Don't forget, he is actually older than me. He may not like this description."
