Four Hundred and Sixtieth IX Sleepy
Burbank, located in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past century since Disney chose to set up a company base here. It has transformed from a deserted ruin into an important base for major film companies and four major TV station companies.
Pedestrians and vehicles coming and going can glimpse the tip of the iceberg of Hollywood's prosperity.
The people waiting in twos and threes in front of the base of Paramount Pictures should be unknown actors who are going to audition for supporting roles or extras, but who knows, maybe the next Leonardo DiCaprio is hidden here Rio.
The outlandish costumes driving the golf cart lightly and deftly through the streets of Burbank should look like supporting actors who left the rest area to go to the set to shoot, but unfortunately, the shadow fell on the face and did not see clearly.
Out of the corner of my eye, I can catch two people talking and talking. Judging from their clothes, they seem to be screenwriters who are discussing the script. The wind sends them arguing, "...the arc of the characters is broken... "
The most special and amazing thing is that there are no paparazzi shots, no onlookers, and no fanatical fans. The whole street looks like a chaotic and orderly daily life, as if such a scene has become a part of life, creating a movie The process of magic is not attractive, it is really normal.
But from the eyes of outsiders, there is indeed something unusual in the ordinary. In a trance, the picture of that movie appeared in Alice's mind:
"Truman".
Maybe, life is just a play, and we are the characters in the hands of "God's screenwriter", living a set life in a set studio according to the instructions of fate.
After realizing this, the smile on the corner of Alice's mouth could not help but rise, her eyes paused for a moment, then she returned to work, turned around and prepared to wake up the band members, they need to wake up, adjust their state, and prepare for the upcoming blurt Show recording.
However, Alice accidentally saw Ronan's eyes.
Ronan's vision was still hazy, he didn't seem to be fully awake, but he looked at her carefully, as if he could see through her mind - this is Burbank, and all film practitioners will definitely pass or visit Alice is no exception, but today, Alice is not a film practitioner, but an agent.
Many times, because they are too natural and too busy, they forget that Alice's job is not an agent.
But,
Alice had no way to leave. One Day King's career had just started after Grammy and was about to take off. How could she just turn around and leave like this? That feeling is as if... After going through all kinds of trials and hardships, she finally reached the first peak. Before she had time to enjoy the scenery, she was ready to part ways. This is not right.
The look in Ronan's eyes made Alice a little flustered. It was just because of the embarrassment that her thoughts might be seen through. She subconsciously avoided the eyes, cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Wake up! Everyone should be woken up, It's almost time to get to the studio."
Ronan didn't answer.
Alice was a little annoyed—to be precise, she should be ashamed. She raised her eyes and glared at Ronan, only to find that Ronan was still sleepy. This made Alice stunned, and couldn't help laughing. There were too many and complicated thoughts here, so he felt guilty. Ronan didn't notice his own thoughts at all, but in the end he panicked there, what a... idiot!
"Ronan!" Alice called out loudly, and then she could see Ronan raised her eyes dimly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but raised a bit, "Wake up, Ronan! Wake up! Everyone! Everyone wake up! We have arrived at our destination!"
But... the response is limited.
Recently, I have been too tired. Even robots need to beware of overheating of the core engine, let alone ordinary people? Now they are just relying on blood to persevere.
In fact, this was not the original intention of Atlantic Records, and they did not want to arrange such an intensive itinerary-because of the widespread presence of trade unions in all walks of life in North America, the company cannot treat employees casually.
It's hard to believe that actors also work eight hours a day, but the eight-hour work interval can be adjusted according to the shooting situation. If the filming time exceeds eight hours, they must seek the consent of the actors and staff; Even the relevant clauses are written in black and white in the starring contracts of many actors. The working hours are forbidden to exceed eight hours, and the working mode of commuting on time is comparable to that of white-collar workers.
The same is true for musicians, managers, and TV and newspaper staff. Such a high-intensity job like a one-day king is indeed very rare.
The original plan of Atlantic Records was to absorb such a large amount of work within three weeks to one month, but the price was to squeeze the time of the tour, not only the Shining Band had to wait for the King of the Day, but also the reserved performance venues had to be postponed , but this is also a helpless choice. Atlantic Records hopes to make full use of the influence of the Grammys to further expand the popularity and recognition of King for a Day.
All gains and losses are as simple as that.
Obviously, this was not what the King One Day wanted to see, so after internal discussions among the band members, the itinerary was compressed into ten days.
It was hard work, but this way, they were able to catch up with the Shining Band tour. Not only to keep the promise, but more importantly, King One Day is still eager to stand on the stage as soon as possible, that is the space for them to shine; at the same time, they will not miss the plan of Atlantic Records.
So, now I can only rely on chicken blood for support, but to be honest, with such a busy schedule, there is not much time to eat and drink, and the band members have no chance to deeply experience the true reflection of the Grammy effect. So much so that now there is no definite sense of reality——
Rise in popularity? What was that feeling like? Even if you use your brain to make up, you need to have reference materials in your mind.
But now, Alice seemed to see a model of reality.
"Hey!"
Alice couldn't help raising the volume, but after still not getting a response, she raised her voice and said directly, "Now there are more than 300 fans gathered at the entrance of the studio, are you sure you will greet their cheers with this image? Maxim , you would never want your face to appear on TMZ."
Maxim opened his eyes for a while, but immediately closed them again, "Alice, stop joking, who will come to the studio and wait."
"More than one." Alice replied, and then didn't say anything more, just waiting for Maxim to see for himself.
