The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 17 Enter the crew

The sun is mixed with the breath of the sea, the blue sky, the green tree shade, the clear sea…the vision is high and far away, and the whole world is vast and recklessly spread out underfoot. , As if the whole heart is widened. Such a scene is almost impossible to see in New York or London. It is only the first side. San Diego, located on the west coast of the North American continent, opened up a warm embrace and welcomed the arrival of the blue gift.

Today is Friday, when the cast and crew members met for the first time. In the past week, Lanli spent all his time in the library, repeatedly consulting many books on the Pacific War of World War II; and then renting the “Brothers Company” “This classic series of DVDs has been reviewed again to prepare for the upcoming filming.

Closed the taxi door, patted the roof, turned around and looked at the crowds and crowds in front of you… the campsite, Lan Li’s first reaction was “find the wrong place”, shouldn’t the first meeting of the crew be? Find a meeting room to sit down, introduce yourself to each other, or something? But it looks more like a campsite, and you can see many tents being erected in the line of sight.

There were five or six managers scattered at the gate. They had a writing board in their hands. Everyone was surrounded by a few people. He carried the dark gray backpack behind him, and Lu Li stepped forward and found a team. Lined up, there were only three people in front, and soon it was his turn, “Is this the crew of the’Pacific War’? I was told…”

“Name?”

Lan Li’s words were interrupted. He was about to open his mouth to answer. He didn’t expect the other party to have no patience. He continued to urge, “Name.” That resolute attitude was a bit like a soldier, and an idea flashed in Lan Li’s mind. Passed, but the words did not stop, and directly replied, “Hall.”

The other person pointed to another person next to him, “Report to him with the beginning of H.” How many people actually are arranged in alphabetical order by surname?

Lan Li walked to the side again and lined up. This time, without waiting for the other party to inquire, Lan Li said directly, “Hall.” Then he saw the other party quickly scan on the clipboard, “Hall, actor, report to Barracks 3.”

Sure enough, this is the new barracks.

Before the recruits officially enter the battlefield, in order to avoid making low-level mistakes, killing themselves, and killing their comrades, they must all pass the training of the recruit camp. “Brothers” also copied the new barracks model during filming, which not only allows the actors to experience the real sense of soldiers, but also allows the actors to be professional enough in the performance process. Now, the “Pacific War” has once again followed this tradition.

This is really interesting, isn’t it? I got my first job as an actor, but entered the boot camp, and trained before getting into the performance. If it weren’t for being an actor, this would be almost impossible in life.

No. 3 barracks is very conspicuous. It is on the left side of the main road. The gray concrete brick wall is inconspicuous, but it is easily distinguished by its superior size.

After Lan Li registered and reported at the door, he walked into the third barracks and greeted him not the future colleagues and actors, but… countless clothes! Twelve sets of gantry divide the spacious barracks into twelve aisles, which are dazzlingly hung with clothing, not only soldiers’ clothes, but also retro clothing from the 1940s, ranging from luxury to civilians. It’s all available, and it looks like a warehouse sale scene.

The voice of talking came from behind the gantry, and walking along the aisle, it suddenly became clear in front of a turn. There is a large open space in the center. A dozen boxes of boots are neatly stacked, and the entire wall behind is covered with different military ranks. The Marine Corps uniforms, the brand-new uniforms with the fragrance of softener are all placed together, which really has a lot of visual impact.

The previous actor finished leading the costume, and Lan Li walked forward, “Lan Li-Hall, playing Eugene Sledge.”

The staff in front of them checked the list and muttered, “Oh, K Company of the Third Battalion, first-class soldier.” Turning around and proficiently found a set of military uniforms, and handed them over, Lan Li saw the other party. Immediately stretched out his hands and took off the entire uniform, “Shoe size?”

“Seven and a half yards.” But after speaking, Lan Li immediately changed it, “eight and a half.” The other party frowned, obviously not satisfied that Lan Li didn’t even remember his shoe size.

In fact, seven and a half yards are British sizes, and eight and a half yards are American sizes. Lan Li just reflexed. However, aware of the impatience of the other party, Lan Li did not excuse him—this is a military camp, and obviously starting from the entrance, everything was implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the army. Although this is really painful for ordinary people, for actors, it is the only way to enter the role.

The other party bent over, took a pair of boots and two pairs of socks, and put them heavily on the uniform. “After the training is over today, from 6 to 9 in the evening, there are still people here. You will come over to pick up your other scenes. Service. Before entering the barracks, you have two more episodes.”

“No problem.” Lan Li’s answer was not muddled. He turned around and was about to leave. This little detail seemed to satisfy the other party. He said, “Friendly reminder, the best answer is’yes, sir’ in the future.”

“Yes, sir!” Lan Li said vigorously when he went to the village to follow the customs. A small smile appeared on the corner of the other’s mouth. “Your residence is barracks No. 8. Go there and change your clothes.” After finishing speaking, he didn’t do it anymore. Paying attention to Lan Li, then he looked at the next person, “Name, role?”

Lan Li turned his head, only had time to exchange sight with the other party, and then hurriedly left the third barracks. Although Lan Li doesn’t know what will happen in the boot camp, he will never forget the cruel and rude training method of recruits in the movie “All Metal Shell”. It is the best policy to be fully prepared.

Entering Barracks No. 8, a small group of people gathered at the door to smoke, and the smoke was filled with smoke. Then there were a few people scattered on the board with nothing, focusing on their own affairs. Lan Li’s arrival just drew everyone’s glance, and then everyone withdrew their gaze.

Lan Li didn’t say hello either, and walked straight to the public bathroom on the right side of the center, where he changed a full set of clothes-including underwear and socks. When he came out again, everyone looked over in an instant. Because in the entire barracks, only two people changed their clothes, and the other seven or eight people still wore their original casual clothes.

Seeing Lan Li’s solemnity, one could obviously hear someone chuckle in a low voice, and even one voice was not suppressed, and he said loudly, “I don’t know where the country boy came from, what foolishly he said. Just do whatever you want, and the chief asks him to offer a chrysanthemum/flower. He must have untied his belt without saying a word…” The vulgar words caused everyone to laugh.

Lan Li walked to an empty seat calmly, stuffed his backpack under the bed, ignoring their plan at all. He wasn’t so kind to remind them that after a while, the training really started. It was them who suffered. It was enough for him to stand by and watch who was the fool.

“Lan Li! Lan Li!” Amidst the roar of laughter, a voice enthusiastically called out. The one who came in at the door was Rami Marek. He is twenty-eight years old this year, but the baby face looks more blue. Li is still young, with a joyful smile on his face, sprinting all the way, “You are here too! I just thought, I can’t find anyone I know everywhere, I feel a little scared! I know you are sure It can be chosen, and, moreover… I have chosen it too!”

Lamy’s cheerful words bounced out from time to time, as if he couldn’t catch his breath. This made Lan Li couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at the group of old fried dough sticks behind Lamy who began to laugh at Lamy again, Lan Li directly I stood up and dragged Lamy towards the public bathroom, only to the result that the voice shouted in a bustling voice, “This is the daytime, so I can’t help but go to the base!” The joking voice caused other people to roar the hall. Laugh out loud.

Richard-Cawthorne was very satisfied with the effect of his jokes, but he didn’t expect that Lanly threw a sentence over without showing any weakness, “If you envy it, dad doesn’t mind adding You are the one.” This immediately caused him to rush to his throat with a mouthful of old blood, but Lan Li did not stop at all, and went straight into the public bathroom.

There was a roar of laughter again behind him, and Lanly ignored him, “Lami, hurry up and change into military uniforms. Training should start at any time.”

Lamy has just arrived at the barracks and still has some confusion about the situation, but compared to Lan Li, he has been rolling in Hollywood for many years, and he is naturally familiar. “Don’t pay attention to the group of people…” He also wanted to comfort Lan. Li, this kind of old fritters is available in almost every crew, especially in the TV circle. They take pleasure in bullying the rookie, and even squeeze the rookie’s income. If the rookie resists, they have countless ways to secretly use the small details. It won’t affect normal work, but it makes the rookie bitter.

However, Lan Li didn’t care at all. He patted Lamy on the shoulder and motioned, “Quick, change clothes.” After speaking, Lan Li realized that there was some ambiguity in this sentence and was about to make a joke. Without paying attention, he threw the cloth bag in his hand on the ground, and then began to change his clothes.

This made Lan Li laugh out loud.

Lamy moved quickly, and the two of them walked out of the public bathroom immediately, and a stern shout came from the door, “You shameless trash, you are still farting here now. Waiting for someone to help you wash the chrysanthemum/flower? Quick, get out!”

Looking along the voice, you can see a senior officer in Marine Corps costume. Because of the backlight, it is not clear whether it is a lieutenant or a captain.

The barracks that were still laughing just now suddenly quieted down, as if frozen in an instant. This made the officer very dissatisfied and snorted, “A bunch of trash. Give you ninety seconds. All of them will be gathered outside. I haven’t been there for more than time If you do, four miles of mountain roads to and fro!” After speaking, without waiting for an answer, he just turned and left.
