Chapter 82 An Adventure
There was silence in the abandoned warehouse.
The sound of air movement colliding with the occasional roar of engines passing by outside made the air in the studio more solid and stiff.
Eerily quiet.
No one expected the beginning of today's filming, no one expected the ending, and no one expected the turning point now.
What to do?
Gretel's first reaction was to object -
Absurd!
How is that possible!
What kind of international joke is the photographer interfering with the stylist’s work?
but.
Gretel and Bruce have been working together for a long time. Bruce not only cooperates with "GQ", but also can be seen in almost all the top magazines in the industry; moreover, Bruce has always had an excellent reputation in the industry, being professional and straightforward, and he can be seen in any magazine. Ability to successfully complete one's work even in difficult situations.
This is indeed an unprecedented first.
In other words, if Bruce didn't really think so, he would 100% not interfere with other people's professional work and would not speak at all.
And.
Today's filming work is very difficult, difficult and troublesome. Gretel knows it all too well. Bruce's struggle and hesitation are all visible. Now Bruce has said such words after careful consideration, but he has thrown out a difficult choice that may lead to irreversibility. The problem of land.
So, how should she decide?
In fact, similar situations are not uncommon.
At the shooting scene, if something doesn’t feel right, or the details need to be adjusted, the stylist will change the matching, or even the entire shooting theme. No matter how crazy things happen, things will happen when the stylist is not on site. Sometimes, the editor holds the decision-making power and the final say.
In other words, Bruce is just a suggestion, and the decision is in Gretel's hands.
Gretel wanted to curse, very cruel, rude and dirty, but Gretel successfully controlled herself. She was weighing the pros and cons——
Anson, is it worth it?
If it had been ten minutes ago, before Anson arrived at the scene, Gretel would have said without hesitation that business was business and she would not allow any deviation.
Besides, it’s just Anson. They didn’t even pay that much attention to shooting Hugh Jackman’s cover, so why bother with Anson?
However, what now?
Gretel realized her hesitation and couldn't help turning her head towards Anson.
Ansen didn’t know the ins and outs, and naturally didn’t know the current situation, but he could vaguely guess that the incident should have started because of him.
Anson spread his hands and showed a regretful smile, "Sorry, I have no balloons."
Is this... the clown's line?
Not the clown in "Batman", but the clown at a kid's birthday party.
So, Anson’s subtext is that he no longer has magic, and he can’t change the status quo?
Gretel didn't expect Anson's response at all. She was stunned and a smile appeared on her lips.
Bruce did not wait for a response. He could see Gretel's struggle and entanglement, and he also knew that his request was unusual. He took a deep breath and regretfully took a stand.
"Gretel, I also know that you are in trouble. If it doesn't work, forget it."
"I understand. What if a stylist stood behind me and told me how to shoot I was also the first to lift the table when it came to composition and lighting.”
"I don't want you to be in trouble."
"Anyway, the works shot now are barely usable. It's not that bad."
It's just that it will be used by Hugh Jackman and Brad- Pete's light was completely covered up.
But what does this have to do with him? This kind of thing happens every day in Hollywood. When one Anson leaves, another "Anson" will appear again.
What's more, he has tried his best, he has tried and fought for it, and he has completed his work.
Bruce has a clear conscience.
Gretel took a deep breath, looked away, and looked at Bruce again, "So, what are you going to do?"
Bruce blinked, "Gretel?"
Gretel raised her right index finger to stop, and said before Bruce could become more excited, "No, I didn't agree, I just opened up the possibility, let me listen to your idea first. You think the styling is not good, so what should we do? Modify? Let me see how outrageous it is."
Bruce came back to his senses and could not control his excitement - but on the surface, he remained expressionless.
After calming down a little, Bruce began to think about Gretel's problem, but... his mind went blank, "This is not my major..."
Gretel rolled her eyes directly, "Bruce !"
Bruce waved his hands and explained, "I just have an idea."
"I think Anson is constrained by this suit and this studio, and his style needs to be changed. Otherwise we'd be stuck here."
"The idea was that we could get out of here and shoot outside without having to go anywhere else, just be in Melrose and have Anson bring his skateboard."
A suit with a skateboard?
Gretel:...
Bruce also noticed Gretel's expression, and quickly added an explanation, "You also saw, when Anson appeared on the stage today, his energy and charm, this It’s a side that ‘Friends’ didn’t show.”
“If we can combine Anson’s own temperament with the charm of the suit, believe me, it will become a classic, although I don’t know if it will be a collision. What a spark, but I have a very good feeling.”
Now, Gretel finally understood what Bruce meant, "Is this the inspiration you have been looking for?"
Bruce did not give affirmation.
"I don't know. Gretel, I can't lie to you. To be honest, I don't know and I'm not sure, but my gut tells me that we should try it and see."
Sure enough, , Bruce is an honest man, telling the truth.
Gretel felt her temples throbbing violently and throbbing, "Oh, Jesus Christ."
Bruce did not say anything more, but quietly waited for Gretel's decision. Anyway, he had already done what he should have done. He had no guilt or regret. No matter what the outcome, he could face it calmly and lived up to his professionalism. , and did not live up to the "GQ" reward.
Then, at this moment——
“Hansel?”
A voice came.
Gretel looked at the voice with a helpless face, "This is not funny."
Not Gretel, but Hansel, Gretel's brother in the fairy tale "House of Sweets."
Since childhood, more than one classmate has made similar jokes in front of Gretel, "Gretel, Gretel, where is Hansel? Why are you alone?"
Gretel is really Enough is enough.
Unexpectedly, Gretel saw an innocent face and raised her hands to express surrender, "I know, this joke is clumsy and terrible, but I think you need to relax a little."
It's Anson.
"Please, why are you so serious?"
Looking at that smiling face, the corners of Gretel's mouth raised helplessly, but the rising anger calmed down quietly before she had time.
She said, "Hey, gentleman, the problem is now on you, and you are the one who should not relax the most."
Anson lightly shrugged his shoulders, "Very good , in my perfect life, I finally found the second thing I am not good at.”
Bruce:…
Gretel:...
Both of them were slightly stunned, and then Gretel subconsciously asked, "What is the first thing?"
Although Gretel kept telling herself that she should not ask , but she couldn't hold it back after all.
Anson's face was serious, "Telling a joke."
Third update.
