Jack and Brad are two low-level grassroots people in Hollywood. Strictly speaking, they are not even people in the Hollywood circle. △￠
There are also extras in Hollywood. This is for sure. Just like there are many extras waiting to act at the entrance of the Huaxia Capital Film Factory. In fact, more generally speaking, in Hollywood, as early as 70 or 80 years ago, the rise of movies was just beginning.
By that time, there were already group performers.
But Jack and Brad are not even considered extras in Hollywood, because they are indeed not extras. They are two chefs, two chefs serving the crew.
In Hollywood, the production staff are naturally in charge of the food and drink of the crew, but it is the chefs, tailors and other people who can solve these problems.
Although they are not people in the entertainment industry, these people are actually very closely connected with people in the entertainment industry.
Jack and Brad are relatively good chefs, because they don't provide three meals a day to the grassroots crew.
In fact, there are grassroots film crews in Hollywood. It’s not just China, Japan, South Korea and other Asia-Pacific countries that have grassroots film crews. There are also many such crews in the famous Hollywood.
Maybe some young people can rent a camera and hire a few staff members to form a crew and shoot for themselves.
It’s easy to imagine the financial resources of a crew like this. So if you are responsible for three meals a day for a crew like this, it’s really hard to say how much it will cost.
But in Hollywood, there are not so many crews like this. And in a situation like this, it illustrates a problem. Chefs are also divided into grades. They provide these grassroots with three meals a day, usually
Immigrants may even be illegal immigrants.
If they don't do these things, they have no other job. The higher-end regular chefs just provide three meals a day with the ordinary crew.
And those skilled chefs are naturally connected to the top film crews.
Such chefs are usually the back chefs of big hotels, and they have backers, otherwise top film crews would not trust these chefs casually.
Obviously, if there is any problem with three meals a day, then in such a situation, the best thing to do is to contact the hotel's head chef.
Otherwise, if you go directly to the trade union, you won't be able to find the responsible person anyway.
The two chefs, Jack and Brad, are among the senior chefs who have close ties with the top film crews.
They are the assistant chefs of the Hilton Hotel. Yes, the chef can indeed have assistants. In China, this position is usually called the second chef, or the second in command of the kitchen.
This is actually an unspoken rule in Hollywood. It is impossible for the chef to show up directly, otherwise once something happens, it will be difficult to recover if it is investigated. But if the assistant chef takes action, there is absolutely no problem.
.
Because the assistant chefs are the confidants of the chef. Even if something happens to them, it will be difficult to find out about the chef. Jack and Brad are such assistants to the chef.
Moreover, in such a situation, they are connected with "Minority Report", which is very rare. If they can have any kind of contact with a top director like Spielberg,
, that is something to be very proud of.
In fact, it was because of this that both Jack and Brad were cautious, fearing that there might be some kind of problem.
But this time, it was indeed a bit unexpected. A person from the production team of [Minority Report] found them.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with a big beard. This man was often sent by Old Andre to make deals with Jack Bullard.
Therefore, Jack was very familiar with this guy. He said with a smile: "Jeffrey, you haven't come out to do business with me for a long time. The brothers miss you very much. No."
You know, why do you want to come to us?"
Jeffrey said very seriously: "I came here this time to ask you to help me with a small matter. Someone above said that help will not be in vain."
This means that Jeffrey did not come alone this time, but came with the above intention. This seems to mean establishing a cooperative relationship with Jack Blood. Anyway, as long as it is a [minority]
Send report] If the crew nods, then such a thing is no longer a big problem.
Andre said carelessly: "Jeffrey, this thing is so beautiful. You will think of us. If you have any good things to say, Jack and I will discuss it first."
The natural meaning is that in this situation, he himself is not good at making decisions.
Jeffrey obviously already knew the result of this. Therefore, he immediately said with great certainty: "This time, after passing this village, there will be no such store. Such a good opportunity, if
It means that if you do a good job on something like this, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in Hollywood in the future."
These words really touched Jack and Brad. The two looked at each other. Jack hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, no problem. What do you want to do?"
Jeffrey nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I think you two have done a very good job in this regard. Very good and very promising. This is the kind of character you need in Hollywood in the future."
It just happened.
Otherwise, there will be no progress.”
This is natural. In Hollywood, if you offend a director of Spielberg's caliber, you can probably go home because of something like this.
This is the unspoken rule. No matter who it is, you must abide by it before making rules. Unless you can restrain those unruly reporters in Hollywood.
The same thing is difficult to deal with.
At this time, since Jack said he agreed to Jeffrey, he said without thinking: "What do you want me to do with this matter? If it is simple, it can be done today."
Jack's words were refreshing. Jeffrey nodded with satisfaction and said, "I won't say anything more about it now. There are Asians on the crew. You should be aware of this, right?"
Ye Ming was quite high-profile when he came here. Therefore, it is not easy for someone to ask a question like this in Ziah without knowing Ye Ming. Especially when it comes to Spielberg's crew on the Entertainment Network.
It is very attractive to begin with.
If Jack didn't understand what the problem was, then they wouldn't have to hang out in Hollywood.
So Jack immediately said: "I know, I know, he is a very interesting young man. I heard that he has a good relationship with Jackson, but he is a newcomer. If he sings, he can sing. It doesn't matter if he has a good relationship with Jackson."
But at a time like this, if you, a singer, want to act in a movie, this is a bit over the top. You tell me how you want to deal with him."
A person who makes money will be looked down upon. After all, Ye Ming is not a top star. Hollywood is a place like this. Whatever you do is what you do. Just do your job well, but if you want to do something else
, it just broke the rules.
Why Ye Ming broke the rules but was not suppressed is because of Ye Ming's multiple identities. Such a background makes people in Hollywood fearful.
Moreover, Ye Ming has never failed, and has never failed since his debut. Therefore, even if people in Hollywood want to make trouble, there is no reason. Everyone is watching to see if Ye Ming will make mistakes, especially in the
[Minority Report] Will mistakes be made in this movie? If they are really made, then Ye Ming will be suppressed and it will be impossible to survive in Hollywood.
Even so, it is normal for people at the bottom of Hollywood to despise Ye Ming. Those who have been in Hollywood for more than ten years have not gotten out. Ye Ming, an outsider, directly joined Spielberg's crew.
Go ahead, something like this will make people uncomfortable no matter what.
Therefore, under such a situation, it is normal that even Jack, as a layman, is not very convinced of Ye Ming.
In fact, it's not that Jack and Brad don't want to be actors, but that they don't have the talent at this time. They also worked in Hollywood extras back then, but they didn't make it out. For Yangjiahe Village, they had to work as chefs.
.
This is a rare opportunity to teach Ye Ming a lesson. This is an opportunity they will not miss.
Jeffrey said with a smile: "That's right. If he was in China well, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he just crossed the line, so if he wants to teach a person like this a lesson, it's better
It is very popular with the people. I have an opportunity here to take revenge. I hope you can seize this opportunity."
Jeffrey put aside his plan, but Brad, a straightforward man, said seriously: "If we do it like this, isn't it too much? Once it is found out that we did it, then everyone will
Bad luck will follow."
Not only would Jack and Brad be in trouble, but in fact, if they were to be exposed, under such a situation, even Spielberg would definitely not be able to live with it.
Therefore, Brad was a little hesitant when he heard such a plan. Although Jack wanted to deal with Ye Ming, it was very risky after all, so he hesitated and said: "Jeffrey, who is this?"
Notice? Old Andre doesn’t have the guts to do this.”
In fact, at this time, Jack just wanted to know if this matter was Spielberg's attention.
Although Jack knew that if it weren't for Spielberg's attention, Jeffrey would not have the courage, but he still wanted to hear the name of this great director to feel confident.
But Jeffrey is not a fool. He came with the instruction from above, but he also knows very well that if something happens to him, Spielberg will never admit this instruction at this time.
of.
So Jeffrey said with a smile: "Jack, Brad, it's too expensive for you to leave i. You think too much. You know why I came here. You also know the background behind me. You can't tell me."
Okay. It’s up to you whether you want to do it or not. Anyway, Hollywood is not short of you two chefs. There aren’t too many chefs who want to work with our crew?”
This is a threat. If you don't do it, there are still many people who are willing to do it.
At this time, you don't have the right to choose. Either do it or get out. That's what it actually means.
Jack thought for a moment, then glanced at Brad and said, "How about we play?" Brad nodded with a smile and said without hesitation: "Just play, anyway, I think Ye Ming will come and snatch it."
I feel very unhappy about our business, and it’s fun to play with him, but don’t let anything happen to you. It’s better to be careful. Just have fun.”
Now that we have decided to play, Ye Ming's identity is basically no big deal.
At this time, Jeffrey said with a smile: "Yes, you have made a good choice. I think we will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future. Remember, four people, four Chinese people, they are going to
If it’s Chinese food that’s made wrong, then I won’t be polite.”
The four Chinese people, of course, are talking about Ye Ming. On the Minority Report crew, there are actually five people who are willing to eat Chinese food. The four people are naturally Ye Ming and the three staff members he brought, but the other one
There may not be many people who know about it, but this person is Spielberg. Spielberg may have a somewhat aloof personality, and some of his positions are not on the same line as China.
But he likes Chinese food, and there is nothing that can change this. Jews are a very stubborn race. They think Westerners are uncivilized people. Why do you want a steak to be medium rare? What is the difference between drinking raw meat and drinking blood? , Jews have long stopped eating that way, and as another ancient nation, the Chinese also beat Westerners in terms of food.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this psychological advantage that under such circumstances, Spielberg likes to eat Chinese food.
But this time, he did not order Chinese delicacies, which fully demonstrated that this matter had something to do with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that with his method, the results would often be beyond his expectations. It was the same this time. Even Spielberg had a hard time controlling what happened. This is the most depressing thing for a director. Things. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
