Hollywood Drawing

In the greater Los Angeles area and the outskirts of Orange County, the Happy Holidays crew is setting up a shooting backdrop at a bridge entrance.

Wayne was holding the director's notebook and writing and drawing in it, while the only two actors were sitting on chairs to rest. The miserable heroine Lu Taili was brutally stabbed to death twice in the morning.

He saw Ross nodded to him, signaling that it was done and filming could continue. Wayne walked up to the two actors and told them his requirements.

"Naomi, please pay attention to the ketchup on your body for a moment. Don't run away or move it. I need it to be stabbed, a splashing bucket."

He pointed to the ketchup he would use later. This was the biggest change he made to the movie. Every time Terry was killed, it was more wild.

Then he said to the killer who had just put on the mask:

"Still the same, catch up with her and stab her to death violently. Pay attention to aiming at the props."

After speaking, he walked behind the camera and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Happy holiday, act 227 begins!"

As the words fell, Luke held up the microphone. He carried the camera and ran forward a few steps with the stumbling Terry. In the end, she did not escape the fate she deserved.

"Cut! Passed! Everyone, transition!"

Everyone started to move forward quickly, leaving the Changqiao Cave and walking to a road not far away that almost no cars passed by all day.

"Hey, Luke, haven't you always wanted to be a director and photographer? When the opportunity comes, show your best and make me look more handsome."

He teased Luke while putting on his police uniform. This is the last scene. It mainly involves Terry asking Wayne, who is playing the policeman, for help. Then Wayne is killed by the killer and Terry is killed again.

This was his own request. He hoped to see himself in his first film without affecting the filming, so he played this small role. He didn't need two lines, just showed his face and was killed. seconds.

He was ready when he heard Luke shouting start. He walked to Terry's car and asked her what happened. A car drove over at high speed, and then he changed props. After the car crashed, he was covered in ketchup. Wayne lay far away.

"Cut! Passed."

Wayne stood up, walked towards the monitor with some pride, and joked with Luke:

"How is it? Did I perform well? I passed it once, which means I am very good!"

Luke looked at him strangely and motioned for him to look at the monitor. After watching it, he was quite speechless. It turned out that he only had a full-face shot for more than a second, and he was not the center of the shot.

Okay, after reading it again, there was no problem. Seeing everyone looking at him, Wayne clapped his hands loudly and said:

"Thank you everyone for your hard work on this film. We have finished shooting all the scenes, so pack your things and get ready to enjoy your vacation!"

Wayne bowed gently to everyone on the crew, not too much, but his meaning was obvious. He really thanked everyone for their work.

Suddenly everyone applauded him, even the two temporary workers who were packing things. After seeing everyone's applause stop, he continued:

"By the way, don't forget to go to the bar next to the hotel at night. I'll pay the bill today, so don't be polite to me. Let's go have a party!"

A rare act of generosity from Wayne.

After hearing what he said, everyone shouted and clapped loudly. The reason why everyone applauded him was not entirely because of the bar treat, but mainly because of their appreciation for his work.

Everyone on the crew knew the difficulties involved. A novice director assembled a patchwork crew and led everyone to shoot all the shots without exceeding the budget. The difficulties were far more than anyone imagined, but this novice director, with his dedicated work attitude, overcame them one by one.

It took two months to shoot all the footage, and there wasn't really much film to use. After all, here, he didn't have any useless footage, he had pictures in his mind. There are also all storyboards prepared in advance, as well as camera location planning and a complete shooting plan.

Therefore, there is a lot of film expenses left, which should be enough for post-production. He saw everyone finishing their work easily and chatting in a relaxed manner, as if all the pressure from work had disappeared at this moment.

Even props artist Roswell and set designer Mia Clegg, who had always been in tit-for-tat at work but had to cooperate, seemed to have put aside all conflicts at this moment.

He watched in amazement as the two of them chatted loudly with smiles on their faces. This moment really made him feel incredible. If Wayne or Luke hadn't calmed down the conflict, the two of them would have fought countless times.

"It's amazing, Wayne."

Luke walked next to him and followed his gaze. Roswell was working with Mia Clegg to lift props.

"Yes, this is the first crew I have officially taken over. Even if I know that all problems are caused by fame and fortune, sometimes I really don't understand. Have you ever seen this? I dare say if you give them two glasses of wine, They definitely roll on the sheets at night!”

He was a little speechless. If you had been so united and friendly, I wouldn't have forced you to suppress so many conflicts.

Luke saw that he really didn't understand. He pointed at the two people who were full of contradictions a long time ago but now looked like friends, and explained:

"The reason is that all conflicts and contradictions are caused by comparison and jealousy at work, which can also be said to be status or fame and fortune in the crew.

Now that the work is over, all the reasons that could have arisen between them are gone, so they will become comrades who have fought together for two months. No one will care about the unpleasant things that happened at work. They will only remember the days when everyone worked hard together. "

He suddenly turned his head and stared hard at Luke. This senior was definitely someone who could see through the world, even if he only had this vision among the crew. It probably has something to do with the fact that he has been on many film crews and has seen too much filth.

"Not necessarily, Luke. I bet that our heroine and supporting actress will never see this scene. If given the chance, they would love to jump on each other, scratch each other's beautiful faces, and call each other a bitch. son."

He was in a good mood and rarely joked with Luke.

Luke also looked at his junior helplessly, as if he was trying to distinguish between the sullen workaholic at work and the current director who gossiped about people behind their backs. Why was there such a big contrast.

"Wayne, actresses and crew members are two different creatures. You will know later that they can poison each other for so-called jealousy. Literally, I have seen it with my own eyes.

In a production crew I was once on, a certain heroine with whom I had connections was poisoned by jealousy that she was not as beautiful as she was and could still be a minor supporting role in the protagonist's role. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be difficult to predict.

This is nothing, just a small part of it. And female stars and actresses are not the same species. Some female stars are so difficult to deal with that you will have the urge to grab a gun and kill her. "

Listening to Luke's relaxed teasing and gossiping on the side, Wayne was still staring at the final work of the crew seriously. After today, he would at least be a lot more relaxed. Now he didn't dare to relax.

Luke was about to talk to him more about all the weird things he had been on the set before. When he saw Naomi walking towards them after changing clothes in the car, Luke shrugged and whispered to Wayne. :

"Don't underestimate anyone, Wayne. Especially a woman who dares to give everything for such a small production that is not even a workshop."

After that, he went to help everyone pack their equipment before Naomi came over.

"Hey, what were you talking about just now? Will I disturb you?"

Naomi hugged him playfully. The work was done. She didn't care about other people's opinions now, and she had never cared about it before. Of course she understands, why do the entire crew respect her more?

Because she is the heroine? She didn't even believe it herself. Not because of Wayne's relationship, everyone knew that the two of them had an unusual relationship.

He doesn't care what other people think about the relationship between Naomi and him. This is Hollywood, one of the most chaotic places in North America. The place where the relationship is even more chaotic than here is the crew in Hollywood.

Those actors and actresses with strong hormonal secretions, because they feel good about acting, can’t wait to get into the trailer and start doing it as soon as the director says cut. Don’t do too much.

"Nothing to talk about, just some work issues. Nami, the filming is complete, what are your plans?"

When he saw everyone starting to get in the car, he pulled Naomi into the pickup truck, closed the door, and asked her what her plan was. Naomi thought for a moment, looked at Wayne seriously, and then answered:

"Go back and rest for two days, and then find a short-term training class. While taking classes, I will look for movies to film. I decided not to go back to Australia yet. I have to wait for the next opportunity. What I am looking forward to most now is your film, you know Yes, it’s almost impossible for me to find a chance to play a leading role in the short term.”

He was not surprised. This was a woman with an extremely tenacious mind. Moreover, this woman was ambitious, patient, and dared to risk everything for her dreams.

Just like Luke said, he would never dare to underestimate such a woman. Wayne knew from the beginning that although he had not paid much attention to this blonde beauty in his previous life, it was definitely a compliment for a woman with no background to achieve great success in Hollywood. She was said to be "white lotus" and "green tea". she.

"Work hard towards the goals you have set, Nami. I believe that one day you will definitely live in Beverly Hills, and your name will definitely be engraved on those avenues."

Wayne parked the car in the hotel parking lot, declined Naomi's dinner invitation, and returned to his room with Luke, who was waiting for him, holding the finished film. He didn't relax completely until he closed the safe door.
