Chatty Hollywood

Before the main text, I would like to thank the book friend I am a dick and his father for the recommendation ticket red envelope sent yesterday, thank you for your support and recommendation.

*****BEGIN OF TEXT******

"What!? Say it again, I suspect that I haven't woken up yet."

Sometimes good news can feel like a bolt from the blue, and while it won't be cloudy afterward, it can be just as mind-numbing. In particular, the appearance of a Persian cat-like beautiful blonde fussing in front of me, baring her teeth and claws, is really very joyful.

"I don't know if you're asleep or not, but you heard me right!"

Charlize, who had expected this kind of reaction from the blonde girl, repeated formally,

"You, Charlize Theron, are now officially the heroine of this film! Clear!?"

"ah……"

Obviously, Charlize still didn't understand, and Charlotte ignored her, took a look and found that everyone was here, and called everyone to come over loudly.

"Now we have two important announcements!"

It was the producer Westwood who spoke, and he glanced at the men and women in front of him,

"Ladies and gentlemen! Our previous director, Alan McElroy, was unable to continue directing this film due to some personal reasons, so the official directing job will be—"

He patted Charlotte standing beside him on the shoulder vigorously with his hand, making a very affectionate look,

"—Mr. Charlotte Booth next to me is in charge! Mr. Booth is young and promising, and the senior management of Xinxian Company and I trust his ability. I hope everyone can cooperate well in the future!"

"What!?"

...Just like the night before, those present who heard the news were inexplicably surprised and couldn't help whispering. However, there were no people who came forward to express their opposition, not to mention the very obvious platform of the producer Westwood, so that anyone who still has brains in their heads can feel that the producer is interested in Charlotte, a new character. The director's support, and the fact that these young actors present are at most third-rate in the arena, it is determined that there will be no troublesome thorns in it.

——For these young actors, filming is just to make ends meet. It doesn't matter who is the director, as long as you have the money to take it! Although many people also have the dream of becoming famous overnight, getting involved in the disputes of big figures like directors and producers is definitely a way to kill them, the low-level people who are not even considered stars. no zuo no die They don't know how to write, but they absolutely understand the meaning. Without this self-knowledge, they would have been kicked out of Hollywood a long time ago.

"very good!"

Seeing that everyone present accepted the facts easily, Westwood felt very satisfied,

"Since there is no objection from everyone, the next thing is the second news. This time, Richard, it's up to you to announce it!"

The "Richard" Westwood referred to was the old gun. Today's gathering, more actors who did not need to enter the crew in advance, for them, the boss of the producer may not know him because of the few appearances, but the face of the old gun who has served as the casting director The memorable red beard, but everyone who has auditioned knows it. This was a special arrangement made by Charlotte and the others before, and the old gun was also present, so that Westwood and Charlotte's words could be better corroborated.

Lao Qiang wore some neatly ironed old suits, but he didn't pretend to be as dignified as Westwood-in other words, his Viking appearance, to many people who are not familiar with him, was originally Scary enough.

"The second news is that the previous heroine, Ms. Eliza Kunis, was unfortunately unable to cooperate with us due to schedule issues. Therefore, the crew decided to let Ms. Charlize Theron take over as the heroine!"

"WTF!"

If producer Westwood made the first announcement,

The people present were more surprised. Now that they heard the second news, they were completely envious and jealous. The people present were basically young actors, and they basically had nothing to do about the director changing this game of power. No matter whether Charlotte was really capable or someone was on top, they had nothing to say. But when they found that a heroine suddenly appeared among everyone, they couldn't calm down at all——

Everyone was playing tricks before, so how can you, Charlize, suddenly become famous? ——Especially the few young girls who were supporting actresses like Charlize as planned, the way they look at Charlize can be described as "hell's lava".

"Look, let me tell you..."

Lao Qiang spread his hands at Charlotte, as if he had expected it, but the latter didn't care. Jealousy can happen anywhere, not to mention it is inevitable to announce it suddenly now. But in the same way, a group of actors who are not even counted as third-tier stars cannot express any objection to the crew's decision.

"Okay, everyone!"

Seeing that everyone has gradually accepted the two news just now, Charlotte slapped her hands,

"In order to make the plot of the film more coherent, we urgently revised the script again. The new script will be sent to everyone, please read it in advance on the way to the location with us."

After speaking, let people distribute the new script to everyone.

"...New script?"

Although modifying the script while shooting is almost an essential skill for every director, it is rare for a film to be exactly the same as the script before shooting, but such an emergency change of the script the day before shooting is somewhat rare. But this time the actors didn't make any further comments. It seemed that the previous two major news had consumed their surprise value. They just opened the new script silently and began to read.

"This time, we were able to complete the three major events of changing the director, changing the heroine, and revising the script in just two days, and got the approval of all investors. We are really lucky! Richard, it seems that your lucky suit is really good. It's useful!"

After letting the actors accept the new director and script, the producer Westwood also breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Lao Gun on the shoulder and joked.

"I hope we will have good luck in the future!"

Lao Qiang was not overly optimistic, he straightened his old but neatly ironed lucky suit,

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, you were able to revise the script and prepare a new shooting plan within two days. This is really surprising!"

"yes!"

After hearing this, Westwood also sighed,

"I can't comment on the quality, but in terms of speed, Charlotte, you have revised the script faster than many first-class screenwriters!"

"When the scene was arranged before, I had the idea of ​​​​modification. Now it is just put into practice!"

Charlotte smiled modestly. Although he also knows that the thicker and more direct Americans don't really like this, but he really doesn't have any sense of accomplishment for completing the script revision quickly——

As I said before, director Allen's previous script was somewhat similar to the "Fatal Turn" he remembered. When Charlotte studies how to arrange the scene, she has been doing it according to the scene arrangement of "Fatal Turn", which further improves the similarity. And after Charlotte took over the guide tube, he simply changed the post, and used the script of the new "Fatal Turn" that he had spent more than two months, combining the ideas of his predecessor Charlotte and his own memory, It replaced Allen's previous script and made this name the final name of the movie.

——Anyway, the similarity between the two is indeed not low. Although Charlotte's script is not necessarily better than Allen's, it is relatively simple and the shooting cost is lower, which is a great boon for the crew with insufficient funds. What's more, using Charlotte's own script, he can directly compare the shooting content with the movie screen of "Fatal Turn" in his mind. For him who is the first director and lacks control, it is nothing less than a super plug-in.

Of course, this is from Charlotte's point of view. From the perspective of Westwood and Old Gun, it is completely different, especially the producer Westwood——

It was more of a helpless choice for him to let Charlotte succeed him as the director. In private, he was full of doubts about Charlotte's ability, and he didn't expect that this guy who was born as an artist could complete the revision of the script and re-enactment of the shooting plan in two days-in fact, although in order to fulfill his wish , he hopes to continue filming, but he is also ready to postpone or even completely freeze the filming and give up. However, the new script and shooting plan that Charlotte came up with surprised him.

It is precisely because of this concise but graphic script, as well as a very detailed shooting plan, that several investors who had intended to give up because of director Allen's disappearance, were once again encouraged and approved of Charlotte. The fact that Tet succeeded as director-in fact, Westwood took Charlotte around for three days after getting the new script.

After all, even if Westwood is the producer, he is not the only one who has the final say on such a big matter as changing the director. Leaving aside the upper management of Xinxian Company as the producer, the other major investors also need them to visit one by one. Thanks to Charlotte's eloquence, the project that was supposed to be frozen because of the disappearance of the director was actually said by him to have a bright future...

"This guy is definitely in the wrong profession! Such a good eloquence, such a cheeky liar, should become a lawyer!"

Westwood muttered to himself,

"If you really follow what he said and make use of that missing bastard Allen, maybe you can really..."

On the other side, Charlotte was not as relieved as Westwood. In fact, for him who is in charge of the guiding tube for the first time, the previous preparations are okay, but the real test has just begun. At this time, he felt both nervous and excited:

"Let you all try Lao Tzu's unique magic shooting!"
