Mary was very fond of television, so when she met a young man who workedfor a television company, she was very interested and asked him a lot ofquestions. She discovered that he had also worked for a film company, 【66.so sheasked him whether there was any difference between film work and televisionwork .】
“Well,” answered the young man, “there is one very big difference. 【67.Ifsomeone makes a mistake while a film is being made, it is possible to stop anddo the scene again.】 In fact, one can do it over and over again a lot of times.Mistakes waste time, money and film, but the audience who see the film when itis finished don ’t know that anything went wrong. In a live television show, onthe other hand, the audience can see any mistakes that are made. ”
“I can tell you a story about that, 【68. One day, a live television show wasgoing on, and one of the actors was supposed to have been shot.】 He fell to theground, and the camera moved somewhere else to allow time for me to run outwith a bottle of tomato sauce to pour on to him to look like blood. Butunfortunately the camera turned back to him before I had finished, 【69.and thepeople saw me pouring the sauce on to the man. ”】
“Oh, how terrible! ” Mary said. “And what did you do? ”
“Well”, answered the young man, “our television director is a very strictman.【70.If anyone makes a mistake, he fires him at once.】 So I just had to pretendthat this was part of the story and eat the man. ”
