Chatty Hollywood

　　 Westwood’s words immediately silenced the scene. Everyone was silent. The whole office was as silent as a hospital morgue in the middle of the night, and it was like a room with a gas leak, full of a sense of tension.

　　 "Like Allen said before, let another Allen director, Allen Smithy, take over. He has done this kind of thing many times!"

　　 It may be that the atmosphere in the room is too depressing. The production manager Michael Rich subconsciously wants to make a joke to invigorate the atmosphere, but the eyes of the producer immediately tell him that his joke is not clever.

　　 "Director Alan Smith does not exist! Mr. Rich, if this director is allowed to direct, then please go to him for a salary, not me!"

—Alan Smith is the man who specializes in conflicts between Hollywood producers and directors. The FBI has not been able to find out the existence of this man. If you go to him for a salary, it will basically have nothing to do with drinking Northwest Wind. Difference.

　　 was scolded by the producer who can't play jokes now, and Michael simply shrunk his neck and didn't say a word. Originally, as a dramatist, he could only be regarded as a junior among the main creators of the crew, and it was normal if he could not speak, but everyone except him was silent, which made Westwood a little confused.

　　 "Richard, you are the assistant director, what do you think?"

　　 If no one takes the initiative to speak, the producer can only name it. And Lao Qiang, as the most experienced person in the crew, naturally can't run away in this regard.

　　 "Can't we call in another director?"

　　 It’s not that the old gun couldn’t tell that Westwood meant to let him take over the directing, but he still chose to play stupid.

　　 "From the perspective of the script, the difficulty of directing this movie is not that high, and our preliminary preparations have been done. As long as the funds are okay, it should be possible to change to another director!"

　　 "The problem lies in funding!"

　　 Westwood gave a wry smile,

"Everyone has gone through the preparatory stage before, and you should know that the funds of the crew are only at a sufficient level. If Alan had not disappeared, he would be directed, and he might be able to get some money in with his contacts. But now He is missing, and it is a question of whether the remaining money can be in place. That alone has made our capital chain very strained. If we re-hiring a director to pay for the film, even if it is only a small part of it. , It will also make us completely fall apart. Don’t forget, in addition to the director, our heroine has also disappeared, so we have to leave some money to find a new heroine!"

　　 Speaking of this level, Westwood simply opened up and said,

"To call everyone here today, my original purpose is actually to hope that someone can stand up and take up the job of director. Of course, as mentioned earlier, there is no hope of increasing salary. It's not that I don't want to, but there is really no money. But. I can get the box office share after the release-originally filming this kind of film, if it weren't for a famous director, it would be impossible to get the share, but now it's a matter of urgency. So, who wants to stand up? "

　　 With that said, he cast his gaze on the old gun, obviously hoping that the most experienced associate director in the crew would come forward. This time the old gun didn’t play stupid anymore.

　　 "I can't do it!"

　　 He answered very simply,

"It has nothing to do with issues such as seniority and ability. It's just that since the divorce, I no longer have the urge to direct myself. If I were to choose between directing a movie by myself and taking back the custody of my child, I am sure I would choose the latter. For me now, making a movie is just a job, and directing is more than just a job!"

"this…"

　　 The answer of the old gun was obviously beyond Westwood’s expectation. He sighed.

　　 "I thought of some words to convince you, but now..."

　　 Westwood turned his head to the photographer Addison Young. Many directors are photographers. As the director who has the clearest knowledge of the film, Addison was originally the only candidate to succeed the director besides the most experienced old gun. However, he shook his head:

　　 "Neither can I!"

"why!?"

"Because…"

　　 Addison took the cigarette in his hand and took a few puffs, then spit out a cigarette ring before continuing.

　　 "Have any of you seen James Cameron's first movie?"

　　 "Cameron's first movie?"

　　 Faced with this question that was not asked, everyone was in a daze.

　　 "Is it "Piranha 2"? I have watched it."

　　 It was Charlotte who replied. With the help of the omnipotent Internet and the regrettable copyright situation in later generations of China, he has watched a large number of movies, and the first show of "The King of the World" is naturally not to be missed.

　　 "Does it look good?"

　　 "This... can only be said to be unsatisfactory."

　　 "Yeah, not satisfactory, not satisfactory!"

　　 Photographer Addison pinched the cigarette in his hand, looking a little dazed.

"That movie was shot in Italy. Cameron was still a novice as a director at the time. At that time, his situation was not unsatisfactory. It can be described as horrible! No one respected him from the actors to the filming to the production. The producer not only didn't give him editing rights, he even dismissed his opinions. And I am the photographer of that movie."

"what?"

　　 Addison’s self-exposure history surprised Charlotte. He did not expect that such a crew that can only be described as a straggler and a mob has some experience of working with a "great god" like Cameron. Finding gold in the sand is a kind of "Taobao", right?

　　 "So, you are worried that you will encounter the same things as Cameron after you take over as the director, right?"

　　 Unlike Charlotte, whose brains are somewhat divergent, the producer Westwood pays more attention to the question of why the photographer Addison is unwilling to be the director. After hearing these words, he feels that he seems to understand something.

　　 "Please don't worry about these problems! Protect the authority of the director in the crew. Although I failed as a producer, I still understand this—"

　　 "No, you don't understand!!"

　　 Addison, who had been taciturn, suddenly became irritable. He interrupted Westwood arrogantly.

"I'm not making terms with you! I have seen Cameron being ignored by the entire crew. I also know how he tried to edit his own film to pick the lock, but I am not worried about this at all! Do you know? When the filming was over, he once brought all the crew together and yelled in front of everyone, saying that we can disrespect him and do not want to follow him to work overtime, but in the end, he will become a big man, and we —"

　　 He gasped violently, and the words behind it seemed to be a hooked arrow piercing the wound, making him endure severe pain every time he pulled it out.

　　"—We will do nothing, one—thing—nothing—achieve!!!"

"this…"

　　As a traverser, Charlotte is also Cameron’s fan, but he knows the story. From Cameron’s point of view, this can of course be said to be a gritty inspirational story; but from the point of view of those who despised Cameron’s fledgling but who should regret not at the beginning, the taste is again What kind of it? This is like the TOP10 of the World Cup goals. As a goal player, it is naturally glorious. But what will the defensive players and goalkeepers as the background feel like?

　　 The photographer Edison, who seemed to run out of energy after speaking a sentence, directly slumped in the chair. Charlotte didn't know what to say for a while.

"You know? We all laughed when we heard what he said. For us at the time, it was the same as the line "Iwillbeback!" that the villain would always say in those clichéd series. It was not worth mentioning. However, ten years later, he really came back! Do you know? When I saw the change in the metal form of the T-1000 in "Terminator 2", my whole body was trembling. That is not a good shot for filmmakers. Excitement, but fear, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is desperate! Cameron has really become a big man, but what about me? I am afraid that I will really do nothing like he said!!"

　　 Edison said quietly, no one interrupted him, everything in the room except his voice was quiet, it seemed that any noise was a kind of blasphemy.

"Actually, I can really say nothing in the past ten years. Although I have participated in a few films, and now I have some qualifications as a photographer, I always...every time I see Cameron’s achievements, I will think of him. That sentence! Just like just now, do you know, my dear Mr. Producer, when you asked "who will be the director", how much I want to agree to it! However, I seem to be wearing Dr. Hannibal’s mask with my mouth sewn on. I’m afraid that I can’t open my mouth at all. Yes, I don’t dare! Cameron’s words were a curse for me, and now I can’t bear the pressure of being a director..."

　　 "Is this another corpse lying on the road leading to the ideal?"

　　 Looking at Addison whose eyes seemed to be shining with water, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh. In fact, how many people in this crew are not losers? The old gun family is split, and his career has lost his enterprising spirit. Needless to say, Addison, how many other departments such as makeup and special effects are not losers? Director Allen may have chosen a group of unsuccessful losers to form a crew in order to avoid someone challenging his authority. This group of losers cursed him behind his back every day, but when he disappeared, the entire crew became scattered like a planetary group that lost the sun, and was on the verge of destruction.

　　 How ridiculous! ?

　　 However, right now, among such a group of losers, Charlotte's heartbeat is getting more and more intense—

　　 Would you like to try?
