Heads Up Hollywood

"CUT! Nat, be more emotional. Now you have brought back hope to the planet Naboo. You are the queen, and you will lead your people to rebel! You must bring your faith to your people!"

Tang En stood up from the director's chair, looked at the exhausted actors in the performance area, and yelled dissatisfiedly into the microphone.

Fortunately, Natalie didn't wear her heavy queen costume in this scene, otherwise she would have been tired and collapsed.

"Let me try again, Director!"

Natalie shook her head cheering up, took the water bottle from the assistant, and drank it without a ladylike image.

"Hurry up, let's have another one! Get ready... to start!"

As the crew got ready again, Tang En gave an order, and the actors in the performance area began to argue in cadence again. Queen Amidala was struggling with the issue of the Congress.

In the actor's rest area not far away, Ben Affleck, who was sitting on a chair, watched Natalie repeat over and over again, who was NG more than a dozen times in a row, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Said: "He is really strict!"

The entire crew knew that director Dawn Walker was courting Natalie Portman.

Unexpectedly, at work, Tang En was not polite at all, but had stricter requirements on Natalie.

Liam Neeson shook his head, "This shows that Dunn has great expectations of Natalie."

Ben Affleck blinked and seemed to agree with Liam Neeson.

Natalie is young and beautiful, with good acting skills, Jewish ancestry, and Dunn Walker behind her. An actress like this is almost destined to embark on a golden road in Hollywood in the future.

"Did you hear that because of Twain, the top management of 20th Century Fox has already quarreled!" Ben Affleck whispered.

Liam Neeson had heard the rumors in the crew a long time ago, so he shrugged indifferently, "We just need to act. We are actors, so we must support the director, right?"

Ben Affleck chuckled, "Of course! Actors must be on the same side as the director."

It's not that the two of them have a close personal relationship with Tang En, it's mainly driven by interests.

Because of Tang En's philosophy, he greatly reduced the "humour", "cuteness", "gag" and other younger jokes in the script, and cut a lot of redundant shots in the middle and early stages, but greatly increased the final battle. Long and hot.

Such a result will definitely increase the roles of Liam Neeson and Ben Affleck, the two Jedi warriors, and the martial arts team invited from Xiangjiang will create more cool and exciting action scenes for them, which will undoubtedly make The two of them performed extra points.

However, such a result has seriously damaged the interests of the producers, especially the investor and publisher 20th Century Fox!

Tang En's reduction of "funny" scenes will seriously affect the film's appeal to children, and peripheral income will inevitably decrease.

More importantly, adding a lot of fighting and explosion scenes is likely to make the movie rated PG-13 instead of PG, which will affect the movie's fan audience.

When the Star Wars project started, it was when Bill McNick was busy with "Titanic", so the project was under the control of the president Tom Rothman.

But Bill McNick passed the "Titanic" first, and then he advocated the release of the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", which has been questioned. The overseas box office has exceeded 120 million U.S. dollars. Slap in the face!

Bill McNick took advantage of the momentum and would never indulge Tom Rothman's continuous provocation. When Tom Rothman was dictating Tang En's filming work, he made a sudden move and directly provoked a major dispute in Fox Films. With an absolute advantage, he canceled Tom Rothman's control over the project.

On the outside, with the full support of Bill McNick; on the inside, with the full cooperation of George Lucas and the actors, Tang En naturally felt like a fish in water, and the filming went quite smoothly.

However, such a result led to a complete turnaround between Dunn Walker and Tom Rothman!

Tang En is no longer a newborn, he is unwilling to tear himself apart with such a big boss. But Tom Rothman pressed everywhere, and he wouldn't be polite.

In the performance area, Natalie Portman is still performing hard.

Suddenly, the lights of the entire crew went out collectively!

"What's going on? Lights!" Tang En suddenly stood up, and hearing the restless voices in the crew, he shouted, "Everyone, stand by and stay put!"

At this time, the lighting engineer shouted, "Director, the power is off!"

"That's impossible! We have gensets and backup power!"

Angry George Lucas yelled that such a low-level mistake during the shooting stage was slapping him in the face as a producer.

"Don't worry! Listen to my command, the lighting team, fix it right away!"

Tang En interrupted George Lucas at this time, took control of the crew, and then said loudly: "Is there a candle?"

George Lucas was blue, that is, too dark to see.

This is a Star Wars set, who is going to prepare the candles?

Besides, what year is this? Still need candle lighting?

It's just to maintain the authority of Tang En, the director, so it's hard for Lucas to stop him. After all, he is still young, I hope he can survive and gain wisdom!

At this moment, the prop crew shouted, "Director, we have candles!"

"Okay, wake up!"

Tang En's voice calmed down the entire crew. Although the candle's flame was faint, it was better than the pitch-black one.

soon.

The first flames ignited in the studio.

Then came the second strand...the third strand...then dozens of strands of flames ignited together, turning the dark studio into a vast night sky, and these exquisitely shaking flames, Like the looming stars in the universe.

George Lucas's eyes suddenly widened. While feeling a little weird, he was also infected by the atmosphere in the studio. Here... it really is a Star Wars studio.

The actors in the performance area all followed Tang En's instructions and stood quietly in place. Natalie was a little afraid of the dark, but she bit her lip and insisted stubbornly.

Until the strands of flames lit up around, it was as if a group of dazzling and lovely fireflies appeared around.

Then, the group of fireflies started to move. They seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. They were changing their positions and formations, and they actually circled around her in a big circle.

After the big circle circled around, more than a dozen fireflies appeared, flew out from the big circle, circled around her, and flew in a small circle.

The shape of this small circle is even more special.

This is a "heart" shape.

...

Today is a special day for Natalie, but because of work, she never revealed it to anyone.

But at this moment, the smart and wise Natalie understood it all at once.

Where is this power outage?

Where is this accident?

This is clearly an organized and well-planned arrangement!

Natalie felt like a fawn was bumping around in her heart, as if it was about to jump out at any time.

She really didn't expect that what she thought was a secret hidden in her heart was discovered.

This kind of surprise and touch made her, who was only seventeen years old, happy to die.

She looked in the direction of the director's area, and sure enough, she saw a fiery red candle walking slowly step by step against Tang En's handsome smiling face.

This June 9th, 1998.

Destined, let her never forget it!
