"Gretel, now is not the time to flirt. Change clothes, makeup, styling, tick-tock, we don't have all day to relax here."
The voice was slightly impatient.
But Gretel didn't mind, still calm, meeting Anson's gaze, "Bruce, today's photographer, obviously, he can't wait to start working."
With a clever turn of phrase, Gretel successfully changed the atmosphere.
At the same time.
"I'm the editor, responsible for scheduling today's on-site work, including the interview later. After the shooting is over, we can sit down and talk slowly."
"During the shooting, if you have any questions, please feel free to communicate with me. I mean, any questions."
Anson raised his chin slightly, indicating that he understood, his eyes flashed, "I have a question now."
This was unexpected.
Originally, Gretel was just being polite, but she didn't expect Anson to immediately throw out a question.
Gretel didn't panic, she straightened her back slightly, even with the help of high heels, she still needed to raise her head slightly when standing in front of Anson. She could see the gentle curve of his lips at a glance, and looked at Anson generously. Without speaking, she used her eyes to show that she was listening patiently.
Anson extended his right hand, "Wood. Anson Wood."
Gretel: ?
After a slight pause, Gretel understood--
Anson meant that their self-introduction had not yet finished.
Gretel didn't expect it at all.
In fact, Gretel had already finished her self-introduction. In situations like this, most artists would think that this was equivalent to the end of the greeting.
Because artists always assume that all the staff on site already know their identity and don't need to introduce themselves, that face is the business card.
Of course, this is also true. Although Anson is still a fledgling newcomer, today's shooting protagonist is Anson. The work team has held more than one meeting, and everyone knows that face. It would be strange not to recognize it, as if there was no self-introduction. It didn't seem to have any obvious impact.
But Anson didn't.
And.
Anson's eyes and smile didn't feel like a newcomer was trying to promote himself or build an image. There was no humility, no flattery, no calculation.
Sincere, bright, clear.
It was purely the first meeting between two strangers, and because they needed to work together next, they completed a formal self-introduction and stood on an equal footing.
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about "Anson", and there are quite a few rumors about Anson in Hollywood, not only about "Friends", but also scandals.
Positive, negative, active, passive, countless, this is also the most critical reason why Anson was able to get the "GQ" shooting opportunity.
However, to be honest, it didn't mean much to Gretel. This was just a job, there was no feeling. Even if it wasn't Anson, if the subject was changed, the work would still need to continue, including the shooting work of Hugh Jackman and Brad Pitt. It was essentially no different.
But now.
Gretel also understood a little bit what those rumors about Anson's charm were all about, a glance, like a gentle breeze.
Involuntarily, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she politely shook that right hand, warm and thick, "Gretel Winfield."
Anson maintained his manners, stopped there, and took the initiative to let go of his right hand--
In his previous life, Anson had tried many jobs, including the service industry and Party B. He could fully understand the position and feelings of Gretel and the others.
People are always accustomed to transferring their negative emotions to others, ignoring or even despising those who persist in ordinary jobs. But do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself. If you do not want to look at the face of Party A or your boss, you should not vent your negative emotions on others.
A smile, a little respect, some etiquette.
Actually, it's not difficult.
After all, why should workers make things difficult for workers?
Anson returned a smile, "I hope everything goes well today. So, where do I need to go now?"
Gretel then realized that she was actually a little distracted, slightly embarrassed, and subconsciously changed the subject, "Don't you have your own team? Agent?"
Although he was a newcomer, if there was no promotion from agents and publicists, the "GQ" inside page shooting would be impossible.
Anson didn't answer the question directly, "They are evaluating whether today's shooting is worth the time."
A pun.
Perhaps, the words answered Gretel's question about the agent; but at the same time, it was also a joke about "GQ", this job is not worth it.
Gretel immediately reacted and deliberately put on a stern face to threaten, "Be careful, the work hasn't even started yet, don't offend the magazine staff."
However, as soon as the words fell, her smile bloomed completely, and the threat effect was zero.
Gretel summoned her assistant and directed Anson to change clothes, put on makeup, and prepare for the shoot.
With a turn, Gretel walked towards Bruce.
Even Gretel herself didn't realize that the tense and anxious heartstrings relaxed a little. Although the problems in front of her still hadn't been solved, at least now she could cheer up and face them. The subtle changes in her mood were indeed helping.
Even when she saw Bruce's low air pressure, Gretel remained calm.
"Hey, any ideas now?"
Relaxed but relaxed, but with a serious expression and words, Gretel showed her professionalism--
They all saw Bruce's irritability.
Bruce glanced at Gretel impatiently, "If there are no ideas, are you willing to postpone the shooting?"
Gretel was also a little helpless, "Bruce, if we weren't desperate, we wouldn't ask you for help. Trust me, you are our savior."
"GQ" also had its own considerations and couldn't risk its own magazine.
They all knew that Bruce had already completed a lot of work this month, including the shooting of two actors' suit settings, and really shouldn't continue to look for him.
But the bad thing was that the original photographer, Mario Testino, failed to complete the shooting of the French version of "Vogue" cover on time; coupled with the "GQ" layout deadline tomorrow, they had no choice but to urgently call Bruce for help.
Bruce didn't buy it at all and rolled his eyes, "Savior? Are you sure it's not a cleaner cleaning up the mess?"
Gretel exhaled, "Bruce."
Bruce didn't even turn his head, not even looking at Gretel, "Don't worry, I will finish the work, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say."
Isn't that what life is all about?
They were all working people, dreaming of early retirement, and persevering.
Lights.
Set.
Camera.
Everything was ready.
Rustling, rustling...
The whispers of discussion came, and Bruce's heart was like still water. What was wrong with these people, one or two of them seemed to have never seen the world.
Was it necessary?
Of course, Bruce admitted that when he saw Monica Bellucci at the premiere of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, he rarely lost his composure, but Anson was not Monica Bellucci, there was no need, really no need.
With a turn, Bruce saw that figure.
