Chapter 452 Sense and Sensibility
On the second day, the crew of "Rain Man" began to pack their luggage one after another, preparing to go to the next destination for filming.
In contrast, Su Yun called in another team and began collecting data based on the environment of the town.
In the classic racing game "Daybreak", there are five main race maps to choose from. One of them, the "town streets" map, is a typical American town in the 1980s and 1990s.
Originally, Su Yun was planning to spend some time and money to hire someone to find the prototypes of the maps for each competition as data collection. Unexpectedly, when she came to check on the filming of the crew, she found the prototype town of one of the maps without any effort.
Su Yun is a producer who can find ways to make money and save money everywhere, but can also generously approve funding applications when needed. He is undoubtedly loved by the entire crew from top to bottom.
Therefore, even though Tom, who was popular in the crew, was scolded by her a few days ago, most people around him stood on Su Yun's side and supported Su Yun to continue scolding...
Of course, the most important reason for taking sides like this is that Su Yun is the big boss who provides money, and Tom is just the second male lead. If Su Yun is unhappy or dissatisfied, he can really be replaced.
During this time, some young staff members who had a good relationship with Tom were worried about him... However, they were soon persuaded by some veterans: "It's nothing. Based on my experience of following so many crews, Mary and Tom are considered to be 'harmonious'!"
When he spoke, he looked as if he was deeply saddened that you young people have never seen such a big scene.
Young people are very curious and they subconsciously ask a few more questions. They will immediately learn some indescribable gossip from the veterans, and then they can't help but sigh: In this comparison, Marilyn Sue and Tom are really just a "harmony" that is a result of iron love!
Compared to the passionate confrontation between the grumpy actors and grumpy directors, from verbal PK to real-life PK, to each of them restraining each other with a loaded gun... this kind of quarrel that is just verbal is really nothing.
"And think about it, Mary and Tom have known and worked together since childhood. If Tom hadn't been badly matched by the Oscar-winning Dustin this time, Mary wouldn't have been so angry..." There are many veterans who have worked with Su Yun before. Recalling that Su Yun was obviously not that irritable when filming "Edge of Tomorrow", they immediately thought of the harmful relationship between the contrast.
Although many people in the industry believe that Tom is a rare young actor who can hone his acting skills in commercial films, this statement is currently limited to commercial films and has a bit of exaggeration for the sake of encouragement.
If you really want to join an art film that aims to win awards and Oscars, and the actors always act opposite the best actor, isn't this a very harmful comparison...
It is true that Tom is a gifted genius, but Su Yun is a genius among geniuses who is even more gifted and adept in many aspects. After this second comparison, Tom's glory as a leader among the younger generation of actors has undoubtedly been suppressed.
I don't know how Su Yun manages her time. She can handle so many things. Not only is she in good health, but her acting skills are also very good. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others...
If you don't know the hidden truth about Su Yun, who, whenever she has time, practices madly in the system's small dark room with an eight-fold time difference to improve herself, then looking at her life that can be said to be full of cheats, you can't help but sigh.
Although if you think about it seriously, Su Yun's life is indeed a cheat...
But who would believe such a "bizarre" truth? There are so many geniuses in the world whose life experiences make people marvel. It is precisely because everything about them is beyond people's common sense and imagination that they can be called "legends".
And Su Yun will surely be a legendary figure who will leave a glorious mark when future generations look back on this era - so if I were to meet and work with her in my lifetime, it would probably be a fascinating topic of conversation for the younger generations for the rest of my life.
What's more, there is not only Su Yun who is a legend in front of us. Dustin and Tom are also a shining light in the Hollywood of this era - because they are all on this turbulent world stage and have become a bold and colorful stroke in the glorious history.
Su Yun naturally didn’t know the thoughts of these “little people” who also constituted the memory of the times, but for someone like her who grew up with the idea of equality in later generations, every dedicated worker was worthy of respect. Therefore, as a producer who controlled the funds of the entire crew, she also tried her best to provide the best treatment for all the workers in the crew without affecting the progress of filming.
Although she is one of the few "good bosses" in Hong Kong, there is definitely a difference between the treatment in Hong Kong and that in Hollywood. However, as long as the employees do not do anything weird, she will definitely give them a sip of soup when she eats meat.
Making money is making money, doing charity is doing charity, but the people under her are also very important - without them working hard for her as a boss to create wealth, how could she stand in this position and enjoy all the enjoyment that money brings?
Therefore, in the Hong Kong circle, Su Yun and the second generation of the Zhao family are the hope of the Zhao family and TBB employees: the traditional old rules and regulations are increasingly unable to restrain the new generation of leaders who have broader horizons, better empathy and humanity than the previous generation. With subtle influence again and again, they may see the day when the company improves employee benefits...
Although Zhao Rifu was very generous when donating money to schools and was a person who loved to do charity, this had nothing to do with his being "harsh" to his employees!
Zhao Rifu's character has remained the same for decades, so it is definitely impossible to change; so, they just have to work hard to hold on, and after the new generation "takes over", maybe they won't have to live such a hard life anymore...
Especially Su Yun and the Zhao brothers, they all studied abroad and are very familiar with the treatment abroad. Due to national conditions, we don’t ask for their future treatment to be completely in line with that of foreign countries, but at least it will be much better than before, right?
Especially since Su Yun had already made suggestions several times before, and she had also filmed "The Rooftop Postman", often donated money to charity, and even tried to find a way out for the "lower-class people" in Kowloon Walled City. With such a kind character, there is no reason for her to become a second-generation capitalist!
Su Yun, who knows a thing or two about this, is also working hard to answer people's prayers: Although it is an eternal problem that a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, for a cheater, it may be an exception...
Besides, she is not very decisive in making choices in relationships, and her desire for other enjoyments is not very high. Otherwise, she would not be so busy like a worker all the time, even though she is a "rich person" in every sense...
While Su Yun was thinking, he directed the data collection team to put away the roll of film and then continue to collect data in another place.
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already afternoon. The cool autumn wind blew the fallen leaves in circles, but people's enthusiasm for work continued to ignite this bleak autumn scenery.
"Are you going to go over in two days?" Seeing Su Yun coming back, Tom immediately and attentively offered her the scented tea he had prepared long ago.
Su Yun took it and took two gulps, then nodded slightly: "I have to stay here for a few more days. After everyone in the team is basically proficient in map data collection, I should not have to lead the map data collection in the future."
She also found Dan Geisler, one of the original programmers of the game "Riot Rider": this guy is not only the creator of the two-player mode, but also insisted on contacting his former colleagues and friends who designed and produced the game together on Twitter many years later. He also petitioned the game company to produce a true sequel to this game and then "revive" this game from many years ago. There is no doubt that he truly loves it.
Unfortunately, apart from his true love, the lack of cooperation from others and funding constraints made all his years of hard work go to waste.
Most of the later games that claimed to be the spiritual sequels of "Day Road" were just wolves in sheep's clothing and had no real soul.
Su Yun herself used to do this, and of course she understands the significance of a work to a creator who truly loves it. When she chose to launch this game that is a childhood memory of many people as a new game, she had already decided to use her butterfly wings to give those memories a happy ending.
After hearing Su Yun's simple explanation of why she was busy with work, Tom couldn't show too much intimacy with Su Yun due to the large number of people around him, so he could only nod his head and say, "Okay, I understand."
Although I really want to be with the person I love all the time, the reality is that there are always various reasons that limit the closeness of lovers.
If they allow their selfish desires to take precedence over their rationality, it will be a problem for them now.
Therefore, he could only try his best to suppress his inner impulses and look at everything rationally.
Of course, the "new game" that Su Yun brought him last night also temporarily filled his long-empty heart, allowing him to have more rational self-control.
Thinking of this, Tom asked softly: "Then when we are both free later, can you play another 'new game' with me?"
