Hollywood Drawing

The sudden situation was completely beyond Wayne's expectation, but he reacted quickly. Just when Halle Berry's hands were about to touch the belt, he kicked the desk with his feet and the chair suddenly moved backwards. One meter out.

Halle Berry was caught off guard and pushed his hands forward too hard, ‘Ah! ' He fell to his knees with a sound, and his knees made a muffled sound with the ground.

"Ms. Halle Berry!" Wayne stood up from the swivel chair, took two steps back, and opened the distance between them. "I'm telling you once, you don't meet my role requirements!"

Harry slowly stood up and looked at the serious-looking director. "Or do you feel it's inconvenient to be here? You can find any place. As long as you can give me this opportunity, you can come to me at any time before the filming of the film is completed."

Wayne looked at Black Pearl who was still trying hard, shook his head helplessly, and shouted loudly: "Nina, Nina! Come in."

Nina, who was not far from the director's office, opened the door and walked in quickly. "What's wrong, boss?"

"Send Ms. Berry out!" He pointed at Halle Berry, who was standing there at a loss. "Send her out to the door of the studio."

Nina didn't know what happened, but she knew what she should do. She walked up to Halle Berry and said directly: "Let's go, Ms. Berry!"

Taking one last deep look at Wayne, Halle Berry picked up her bag, turned and walked toward the door. Even Nina could feel the anger in her eyes.

Wayne shook his head helplessly, pulled back his chair and continued to look at the preliminary preparation materials.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the same three people in the same conference room started the tedious audition work again. The first person who came in today gave them a surprise.

As the other party's performance was completed, Luke did not call the next one immediately, but looked at the director and producer.

"I think this African American is pretty good, he fits the image of the protagonist's grandfather better, and his performance is basically up to standard." Seeing Luke looking at him, John stared at the audition playback and gave his opinion.

"Okay, we've decided on him for the time being, Luke. Call his agent after the audition." Wayne also thought it was okay and decided immediately.

"Call the next one!"

The door opened again, and a casual young man came in again. He had a conspicuous ear and a playful expression, and introduced himself.

"I'm Will Smith. I'm from Philadelphia. I'm a hip-hop singer who just turned into an actor. I guest-starred in the ABC TV comedy series "ABC Afterschool Special" and starred in the sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." It's already airing on NBC. Out.

This year my album "Homebase" ranked fourth on the North American Billboard, and my group also won the 34th Grammy Award for Best Rap Group. "

Listening to his self-introduction, Luke and John looked at each other and felt that there was little hope. The other person's worth must be high. Although this role is the leading actor, the pay is really not high and may not satisfy his appetite.

"Mr. Smith, make a serious expression, yes, make a frightened expression, okay!" Wayne ignored them and directed the future emperor to keep making some facial expressions.

The effect is good. Although he is not famous for his acting skills, he has known acting before and is very talented.

"It's like this, Will, you are going to play the leading role in this film. With your ability, it is not a problem at all. However, the investment in this project is very low, so if you decide to star, the salary will be very low. Can you accept it? ?”

Wayne directly asked him about the salary. If he could accept it, the male lead would be his. If not, he would quickly audition someone else.

"Hero?" Will Smith looked at him and asked.

"That's right, leading actor. I believe that in Hollywood, there are definitely not many roles for African-American leading actors now."

"Okay, I'll act!"

"You don't need to discuss it with your agent anymore?"

"No, as long as it's confirmed to be the leading actor, I can make the decision myself." Will Smith showed his signature smile again.

"We will contact your agent and you can come over tomorrow to sign the contract. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"

"Okay, happy to work with you."

Seeing the hip-hop singer open the door and walk out, he breathed a sigh of relief. The male lead was definitely fine. Compared with his future achievements, this role was definitely not too difficult.

"You think highly of this, buddy?" Luke has never seen him think so highly of any actor, not even Naomi Watts.

"Of course." He lit a cigarette skillfully. "He's going to be a star, I swear."

After the results of the male lead's audition came out, it was no longer difficult to find the following roles. On the third day, the actor for "Honey Maid" chose newcomer Mace Shelley. The role of the protagonist's father was also a newcomer, named Aiden Lisman. .

After all the actors' contracts were signed and all the minor supporting roles were finalized, the crew quickly got into gear and prepared to start filming immediately.

"We will officially start shooting tomorrow, what else has not been completed?" Looking at the group of staff in the room, this was the last preparation meeting before shooting. A room full of people surrounded Wayne, which made him feel quite high-spirited.

Compared to the last time the film was shot, it was much more convenient to shoot at Warner Studios this time, and the crew size was much larger than last time.

In addition to the main camera, lighting, props, and scenery staff, the entire team also had multiple deputy positions. Warner's complete film production system gave them a lot of convenience.

"Everything is OK." Production manager John saw Wayne looking at him and instantly understood what he meant. "We have communicated with Merrill Lynch Insurance Company and the funds can be spent at any time."

"ok!"

"There's no problem with the actors, everything has been notified." Luke took out the record book, looked at it and started to speak. "All the main actors will come to the studio on time tomorrow."

"Okay, our scenes will be shot together, and we will not leave the Warner studio until all the shots in the studio are shot." The feeling of being in control was a bit intoxicating to Wayne, and the production manager did not give him any constraints at all.

No wonder those commercial film crews would scheming for power. This feeling of everyone focusing on you is simply addictive. This is still a small-investment project. If it is a large group with hundreds or thousands of people, it will definitely be more enjoyable.

"The shooting time for all the shots is expected to be three months, and most of them will be shot in the studio. This is the first time for many of us to work together. We need to get used to it as soon as possible. I believe in your professional level." After looking around, he stared at His own staff, Wayne waved his hand and dismissed the meeting.

"How does it feel? Do you feel like being a king?" Jimmy followed him back to the office, chatting casually.

The early preparations went smoothly, which put everyone in a good mood. They had a big tree at their back to enjoy the shade. There was almost nothing in Warner Studios that they couldn't provide.

"Hey, Jimmy, although the feeling of being a king is very addictive, you will never understand the pressure." This is absolutely true. From the beginning of Wayne's early preparations, the pressure came to him naturally. on the body.

As time goes by, the pressure will only increase.

"You will do a great job, just like last time, I believe in you!" Jimmy praised him with a smile, looked at his face and continued: "Your contract with CAA is still an internship contract, we will find a time to exchange the contract Change it? What do you think?"

"Okay, I can do it anytime." This was something he had promised the other party a long time ago, and he was not prepared to fire Jimmy, so there was no obstacle to changing the contract.

"I will come up with the contract terms as soon as possible and guarantee your interests." Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief, he got what he wanted.

"Okay! Let's go together? I have to go back early today to prepare for tomorrow's shooting." After packing the things they needed to bring, the two of them went out, called Nina, and took a battery car out together.

At eight o'clock the next morning, all the staff in the studio were silent, each performing their duties and getting ready.

Today is the first day of filming, and no one wants an accident to happen. Wayne also sat behind the monitor and looked at the shooting plan in the director's notebook.

"Director Greenberg, shoot my scene first?"

He raised his head and saw Will Smith standing in front of him. This alternative gay actor was very witty and could be said to be a typical representative of a gay man with a white heart.

"Yes, the role is very simple. Believe me, it's not difficult for you at all." Wayne pointed to the moving chair and continued: "You will be tied to it in a moment. All you have to do is Became confused after hearing the sound of tea cups. "

"Okay, I'm fine!"

Yes, it's still his old strategy, shooting all the simplest scenes in front, which is used to build up the tacit understanding of the crew and the new actors, and also to help the new actors slowly find their acting condition.

"Attention everyone, we are going to test shoot first, Robert, be careful to adjust the camera position." Hearing the director's shout, everyone exited the center. Will Smith and Aiden and Rebecca, who played the heroine's parents, also expressed their willingness to do so. Ready.

"The first trial shooting of the first scene of "Get Out" begins!"

Wayne sat behind the monitor with his eyes fixed on the monitor screen. He didn't have to double as a photographer, so he could concentrate on the filming process.

"Cut! Good performance!" Wayne stood up and walked to the white parents. "Rebecca, you have to pay attention to the expression on the glass when you tap it. It's that kind of weird arrogance. You have to turn yourself into a weird psychiatrist."

"Okay, director!" Rebecca nodded immediately and agreed. This was not difficult for her.

"Let's do it again. If the effect is good, we will start shooting directly." He sat back on the director's chair and waved to Luke.

"Attention everyone, the second trial shooting of the first act of "Get Out" has begun!"

Just as they were busy filming in the studio, countless reporters rushed to the Warner Studio with long guns and short guns.

Wayne, who had just finished shooting the first shot, was continuing to direct the camera position when Jimmy ran up to him, somewhat disheveled.

"Hey, Jimmy, this isn't like your style. What happened?" Looking at the disheveled agent with his shirt exposed, Wayne asked him curiously.

"Watch TV, Wayne, and ask John to come back to the office with me."
