Isitudiyo seQela leNdlu kwiRock Hook. Ukuhamba kwisitalato iVan Brunt kwiRock Hook ngemini eqaqambileyo emva kwenyanga kaFebruwari, omnye uphathwa ngendlela efanelekileyo yesixeko eStatue of Liberty. Isikhalo seelori ezothula imveliso kwimarike yaseFairway ephithizelayo (ummandla wedolophu isikwere sedolophu) kunye nokugcuma kwamadoda athutha iikreyiti kwiindawo zokugcina kugcina umnyango omkhulu. Ukuphola kwamathambo kweZibuko laseNew York kwenziwa konke ukoyikiswa kukukhanya okungaginyisi mathe kweIkea. Umntu uziva ekude neManhattan apha. Umntu uziva ukude nakwezinye iindawo zaseBrooklyn, ezenze iRed Hook indawo yokuhlala ebonakalayo yamagcisa.
Ukugxothwa kumgangatho wesine ka-481 uVan Brunt, kwisithuba esinokufikelelwa kuphela ngokungena kwenkonzo ngasemva kwendlela yokulayisha, liQela leNdlu eliSekhona. Ngokuchongiweyo ngumbutho wamagcisa asibhozo, abancinci-akukho namnye kumalungu asisigxina afikelele kwiminyaka engama-30-kwaye aqala ngeengcambu ezithobekileyo ngokwaneleyo. Oko kwaqala njengewebhusayithi ngo-2007 kubafundi abambalwa beekholeji zaseNew York ababengenayo indlela yokubonisa ubugcisa babo esidlangalaleni ukususela ngoko baba liziko lezigidi zeedola elinenzuzo ngakumbi kuneegalari ezininzi zaseNew York.
Xa ndandindwendwele kwinyanga ephelileyo, i-Still House yayinomvakalelo wendibano. Amagcisa asebenza kwiityhubhu ezili-17 nge-20 ngeenyawo, ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi evezelana. I-cubby yesithoba igcinelwe umhlali ojikelezayo weenyanga ezintathu, owenza umsebenzi womboniso kwigalari yeqela, eneneni ikona eyahlukileyo kwisithuba. Kutshanje, amalungu amabini asisigxina, u-Isaac Brest kunye noZachary Susskind, banikezele nge-cubby ababelane ngayo komnye umculi weendwendwe; okwangoku, kuhlala uBrad Troemel, naye oza kuba nomboniso eStill House entwasahlobo.
Amagcisa asebenza kude, ngamanye amaxesha ekhwaza igama lomntu xa efuneka (onke amalungu asibhozo angamadoda). UDominic Samsworth, ongumhlali, ufunde ngomnye wemizobo yakhe ebekwe phantsi phantsi ngenyameko. Umboniso wakhe kwigalari wawungaphandle kweveki. U-Louis Eisner, ilungu kunye nomhlobo wobomi ka Mnu Brest, kunye no Haley Mellin, omnye umhlali kunye nomnye wabafazi abambalwa kule ndawo, babethetha ngokupeyinta ngesandla kuthelekiswa nokuprinta. UNick Darmstaedter wayesusile ihempe yakhe kwaye wayegobile ngenxa yomsebenzi. Abasebenzi abaliqela-eli qela liqesha abafundi abasafundayo, abancedisi kunye nabaphathi, kubandakanya nomphathi we studio-babekhonkxa iikreyiti zokuhambisa ngenqanawa. UDylan Lynch, elinye ilungu le-House House, wayeseMontanauk (efumana amatye aselunxwemeni ngesiqwenga), ke mna noMnumzana uBrest sathetha kwistudiyo sikaMnumzana Lynch.
Xa saqala, yayiyindlela nje yokubonisa umsebenzi kwi-Intanethi, utshilo uMnu Brest. Saqala njengeqonga lokujonga kwi-intanethi kwiqela lamagcisa awayeyi-18, 19, 20 ababesebenza eNew York, uninzi lwabo olungazange luye kwisikolo sobugcisa. Kwakungekho nto, sayigcwalisa. Njengokuba ixesha liqhubekile, ubufuna ukwenza imiboniso ephumayo, ufuna indawo yokusebenza. Yayiyinto engekhoyo leyo, sayizalisa. Ngoku njengokuba imisebenzi yamagcisa iqala ukwenzeka kwaye ifuna ulawulo olululo, ukuthengisa okufanelekileyo, inkxaso-mali efanelekileyo, oko kungamampunge-siyakuyizalisa. Oko kuyakwenzeka ngokungenammiselo kude kungabikho zintsalela zizaliswayo.
Umnumzana Brest uthetha ngokukhawuleza, ngokuzithemba okungcatshwa kancinci kuphela kukungabonakali kwakhe kunye nokuthanda kwakhe ukuwela kumntu wesibini xa ebhekisa kuye kudliwanondlebe. Isizathu esisemthethweni asinike ukunika i studio yakhe komnye umculi ukuba ayisebenzise kukuba akayidingi ukwenza kwakhe. Isizathu esoneleyo, nangona esebenza kubugcisa bakhe bemihla ngemihla, kukuba uziguqule ngokwaneleyo ukuba abe ngusomashishini ongumhlali wase-Still House kunye nomphathi wentengiso. Ukusuka kwimbono yamanani, unobuchule ngakumbi kunabathengisi abaninzi abanegalari zangaphambili, kwaye wongamela yonke into.
Umnumzana Brest waseka iNdlu eseyiyo no-Alex Perweiler ngo-2007. Ngo-2008, ngexa uninzi lwamalungu alo besesesikolweni, babenomboniso wabo wokuqala kwisakhiwo esasiza kudilizwa. Oku kusete i-Blueprint yendlela abasebenza ngayo namhlanje, efana nomatshini kwaye ijolise kakhulu. Baye bakha indawo ngelixa besenza umsebenzi womboniso kwisithuba seveki. Ngo-2009, babenomboniso kwigalari esezantsi eseMpuma yeMpuma, eyabazisa kwilizwe lobugcisa eliqhelekileyo. Utata kaMnu Brest, umlawuli wefilimu kunye nomvelisi uMartin Brest, waqokelela umsebenzi kwiRental kwinto awayeyenza eLos Angeles.
Amalungu aliqela e-Yet House avela kwiintsapho ezinembali kwihlabathi lobugcisa-utata kaLouis Eisner ngu-Eric Eisner, owayedla ngokuqhuba iGeffen Records, kunye nonina, uLisa, umfoti wefashoni nomzobi. Ngokwemvelo, bayathanda ukuthotywa kwezi zinto zonxibelelwano (Mnu. Eisner uthi akazange akhule ejikeleze ubugcisa kangako, kwaye utata kaMnu. Brest unabahlobo abambalwa abazingcibi), kodwa bakhona.
Banobambiswano olomeleleyo, njengoTobias Meyer, owayesakuba yintloko yezobugcisa eSotheby's, umhlobo wosapho wakudala wama-Eisner, owayefumene u-Louis uqeqesho kwindlu yefandesi kwaye wambhalela isincomo sesicelo sakhe e-Columbia, ngokukaMark. Fletcher, iqabane likaMnu. Meyer (wabhekisa kubudlelwane babo nomculi njengento encinci ka-Auntie Mame wale mihla). Ilungelo alibuhlungu, kodwa iNdlu eyiNdlu yenziwe ngamadoda amaninzi azenzele wona. Ngokuka Mnu. Brest, umbutho awuzange uboleke mali kwaye uxhaswe kuphela ngabaqokeleli ngenjongo yokufumana umsebenzi.
Ngo-2010, bafudukela kumgangatho ongasetyenziswanga kwisakhiwo seofisi se-Tribeca, umfuziselo wokumiselwa kwabo kwiRock Hook. Banikwe isithuba seTribeca ngokuqinisekileyo sokurenta. Baye bahlawula i-inshurensi kuphela kunye ne-1,200 yeedola-ngenyanga yokuthenga, into leyo uMnu Brest akholelwa kuyo nanamhlanje yayiyindlela yokubakho ngokusemthethweni ngaphandle kokuthatha amanyathelo asemthethweni [kumnini-mhlaba] xa ndinomhlaza kwiminyaka elishumi. ukusuka kwi-asbestos. Ekuqaleni, babedlala ngokujikeleza kwaye bejikeleza, kodwa babegxile ekuhambeni kwexesha labo kwaye babephela bethengisa ubugcisa ngaphandle kwesakhiwo. Ngo-2011, babenemali eyaneleyo yokuqeshisa indawo yokugcina izinto zeMfazwe yamakhaya ngoku bahlala kwiRock Hook. Ngo-2012, babekhule ngokupheleleyo kwishishini, kwaye uMnu Fletcher wabanika umboniso kwindawo yakhe eseWashington Square.
Ndilindele nje ukuba basele ibhiya kwaye baphose izinto ezithile eludongeni bayibize usuku, uMnu Fletcher undixelele. Kwaye babekhona yonke imihla iiveki, bexhoma izinto kwaye bexoxa ngendlela izinto ezijongeka ngayo endaweni enye nenye kunye nolwakhiwo. Ndabanika izitshixo aba bantwana, kwaye ndothuswa bubungcali babo, ubuchule babo, amandla abo.
Uthenge lonke ufakelo lwendawo ethile phakathi kwamanani amahlanu, utshilo, njengesenzo senkxaso, kodwa nayo yonke le nto inokuhlala kunye.
Ekupheleni kukaFebruwari odlulileyo, uninzi lweqela lalikhenketha iYurophu kwimiboniso. Baye baphumelela ngokugqibeleleyo ukuya e-Upper East Side, apho ukuvulwa komboniso wabo eNahmad Contemporary kwathiwa nguLeonardo DiCaprio owanga amalungu osapho lakwaNahmad phakathi kotyelelo kwigumbi elingasemva kwigalari ukujonga uluhlu lweempahla, encanca ukuhlala kwakhe e icuba.
I-House isesekude neqela lokuqala labazobi abaneminyaka engamashumi amabini ukuba badibane kunye, kodwa i-savvy yabo yinoveli. Eli qela linyanzelisa ukuba amalungu ngamanye-awenzi msebenzi wobambiswano-kwaye uMnu Brest wandibuza nge-imeyile ukuba ndingabhekiseli kwi-Still House njengeqela. Elo lixesha elamkelweyo elisetyenzisiweyo, kodwa sonke isizukulwana siyifumana ngokudibeneyo. Ngexesha apho ubugcisa behlabathi buthe phithi yimali njengobugcisa, uMnumzana Brest ubize izixhobo zeshishini i-Still House njengohlobo lomsebenzi wengqiqo ngokwawo, nangona uluncedo kubantu ababandakanyekayo. Ndifumanisa ubugcisa bokuququzelela le nkampani bunomdla ngakumbi kwaye bucelomngeni kunokuba ndibeke umzobo eludongeni. Iyile nje njengayo nayiphi na enye into, utshilo.
Uninzi lweegalari zorhwebo eNew York isebenza kwimodeli engama-50/50. Igcisa lithumela umsebenzi kumthengisi, kwaye bahlule ingeniso iye ezantsi embindini. Lo mthengisi uhlala enikezela umelo lomculi njengembuyekezo, oko kukuthi ngenkxaso yeziko. Kukho isithembiso seqonga eliqhelekileyo lokubonisa umsebenzi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kukho imali yezixhobo, abancedisi kunye nendawo ye studio. Le modeli inamandla kuphela kuba yindlela eyamkelekileyo ngokubanzi eya empumelelweni kwihlabathi lobugcisa: Igcisa lifuna ukumelwa kwegalari ukuze liphumelele kuba iigalari zimele amagcisa aphumeleleyo.
Kukho iintanda kule nkqubo. Ukuba umzobi uphumelele kakhulu, ushiya igalari enkulu enokubonelela ngenkxaso engcono. Oku kugcina ubume beklasi obungqongqo behlabathi lobugcisa. Okwangoku, intengiso yomculi okhulayo inokwenza ibhaluni ngobusuku bonke. Cinga ngomnye owayesakuba lilungu leNdlu ese-Yet House, uLucien Smith oneminyaka engama-24 ubudala, owashiya eli qela waya kwindlela yesiqhelo yokubonisa igalari ngo-2011; omnye wemizobo yakhe ekuthiwa yimvula esandula ukuthengiswa kwifandesi ePhillips eLondon malunga ne-320, 000 yeedola xa imizobo kwakuloluhlu lunye kuthiwa ithengiswe phakathi kwe- $ 3,000 kunye ne- $ 12,000 kwigalari yeLos Angeles ye-OHWOW engaphantsi kweminyaka emibini eyadlulayo. Kodwa ukophula kweli hlabathi konke konke njengegcisa kunzima njengegalari yokuqhubela phambili ukusuka kwiklasi enye ukuya kwenye. Ayenzeki nje rhoqo.
Akunakwenzeka ukuthetha ukuba ngaba umsebenzi kaMnu.Smith, ovela kwimbono yezemali ngowona uphumelele kakhulu kubaculi ukuba badlule kwi-Still House, bahamba ngenxa yokuba walishiya iqela okanye ukuba bekuya kwenzeka nantoni na. Yintoni eqinisekileyo, nangona kunjalo, kukuba ekubeni onke amagcisa kwiNdlu eyi-Still esinegalelo kwishishini, banokulawula ngcono iimarike zabo.
Xa uMnu Brest ethengisa umsebenzi wegcisa le-Still House ngaphandle kwama-481 uVan Brunt, wathi, umculi ufumana iipesenti ezingama-60 zokunqunyulwa. Ipesenti ye-40 eseleyo iyaphuka ngoluhlobo: Iipesenti ezili-10 ziya kuye nakubani na oncede ekuthengiseni umsebenzi, nokuba nguMnumzana Brest okanye uncedo lwangaphandle. (Wena, Mnu. Brest uthe, ebhekisa kum ngokungqalileyo, ungatsho ukuba ndinalo mfo kwaye ufuna ngokwenene ukuthenga umsebenzi, kwaye ukuba yinto endifuna ukuncediswa ekuthengiseni, iipesenti ezili-10 zandiselwa nakowuphi na umntu ngokwethiyori, ixesha Iipesenti ezingama-30 ezisele ziyabuyiselwa kwimbiza yoluntu eseNdlini, ehlawula ngaphezulu kunye neendleko zemveliso. Umnumzana Brest akangekhe atsho ukuba lingakanani imali elihlawulwa liqela ngonyaka — Into endinokuyithetha kukuba abantu banokuphila ngokuba ligcisa, wandixelela-kodwa imithombo emibini eyahlukeneyo enolwazi lweqela icaphule inani eliphakathi kwe- $ 3 yezigidi kunye ne-5 yezigidi. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba kufuneka kwenziwe igalari ekumgangatho ophakathi ukuya kwinqanaba ukugcina iingcango zayo zivulekile.
Kwindlu eseleyo, uMnu. Brest undixelele, isebenza ngokukuko ngokwembono enobuchule. Andazi ukuba iigalari zisebenza njani. Ndifumanisa ukuba bahlala bengakhathali ngokwezezimali. Kubonakala ngathi bafaka yonke imali yabo ekuthengiseni umsebenzi, ngelixa sibeka yonke imali ekuveliseni umsebenzi ngokuqonda ukuba umsebenzi olungileyo uzithengisa.
Kwiveki emva kotyelelo lwam ndaya eRed Hook, ndadibana noLouis Eisner eChinatown, apho kuhlala uninzi lwe-Still House. (Umnumzana Brest, hayi ngokungathandabuzekiyo ngokupheleleyo, wabhekisa kwindlu yakhe njengebhokisi yokubhabha, esongeza ukuba wayehlala nabantu ahlala nabo. Ukuba uMnu Eisner ungumqokeleli weemoto okhawulezayo wenze ukuba kube lula ukufika kwiRock Hook.) jonga ku +1, iNdlu eseleyo yokungena kwindawo yokubonisa ngaphambili. Ndithetha indawo engaphambili kwindawo yokugcina eyona nto incinci — iivenkilana ezantsi kweBhulorho yaseManhattan ezikwere zeenyawo ezili-10, ezikhuselwe ngefestile enkulu. Akukho kungena ngaphakathi ngaphandle kokuba uncede ukufaka. Iveranda igubungela iglasi, ibhentshi kunye nesibane sobushushu. Iprojekthi, evule lo Septemba uphelileyo, yagunyaziswa nguRhulumente waseNew York ongenzi nzuzo ngokubanzi. Indawo ekuyo phambi kweenkonzo zebhasi zabucala zitsalile abathengi abahlukileyo kuleyo ubuya kuyifumana, yithi, Chelsea. Uluntu luphendule ngokwenene kulo, utshilo uMnu Eisner.
Umnumzana Brest ubalise ibali malunga nokuhamba ngo-1 malunga no-12: 30 kusasa ngobusuku obunye emva kokuvulwa, ejikeleza umnyango wevaranda kwaye ehamba nabafana ababini baseMexico ebhentshini. Babetshaya isihlanganisi.
Andinakukwazi ukubuza enye into, utshilo uMnu. Unokubeka owona mqokeleli unamandla apho okanye umgcini okanye intloko yeziko lolondolozo lwembali, kwaye bendiya kukhetha abo bafana, behleli ekupheleni kweeyure ezingama-18 zokufumana umvuzo omncinci, ukutshaya ukudibana, ukujonga ufakelo. Ndavula umnyango, kwaye babefana, ‘Yhu!’ Bacinga ukuba ndilipolisa okanye enye into. Abo ngabafana abangasoze baye kwigalari. Abanalo ixesha, abanalo ulwazi, umxholo awubamkelanga njengomntu obekho.
Xa uMnu Eisner kunye nam sasilapho, umboniso wawubonisa uMiles Huston noDylan Lynch. Amatye uMnumzana Lynch wayehlanganisene eMontanauk mhla ndandindwendwela iRock Hook yalungiswa ngokujikeleza phantsi. Sahlala ebhentshini sithe cwaka okomzuzwana, endaphula ngokungaxoli ngokubuza, Ngaba ikhona le nto iyathengiswayo?
Kuyahlekisa, utshilo uMnu Eisner. Wonke umntu uhlala ebuza ukuba izinto ziyathengiswa na. Hayi, oku kwenzelwe abantu kuphela.
