Hollywood Drawing

"Okay, now everyone can ask questions, please raise your hands first."

The host took the microphone at the right time and said to the impatient reporters.

"Hello, I'm ABC reporter Jones. Can you give me a copy of the video tape that was just played?" the reporter at the front asked the host directly.

"No problem. If there are any other media needs, you can get it from Warner staff after the press conference. Next one."

"Director Greenberg, do you have any grudge against Phelan Goodman? Why did he frame you."

Wayne took the microphone and thought for a moment before saying: "I don't know why Mr. Goodman did this, maybe because I don't have a good relationship with his son.

Someone falsely accused me of being a racist, but I never came forward to defend myself. I was afraid that you would think I was being quibbley if I said anything, until Halle Berry found me. "

Reporters and cameras were all focused on Wayne. The young director, who had been at the center of the incident these days, said nothing. Unexpectedly, he just suppressed a big move.

"Bang", looking at the scene of Wayne on the TV, Philan Goodman directly hit the TV screen with his teacup.

"This bitch, I don't think she can be trusted. She actually dared to contact Wayne Greenberg privately. How dare she! This son of a bitch!" Adam cursed wildly and incoherently, but Fearon unexpectedly calmed down. Come down.

He knew it was too late. If such a scandal occurred, the Universal board of directors would definitely force him to resign. Who would he be if he lost his position as a Universal executive?

"Adam, get ready to move." Fearon said calmly. "I will resign myself as soon as possible and we move out of Los Angeles."

"Why? Dad. We still have a chance, so what if he knows?"

"No chance. I can't wait for the board of directors to fire me. Do you think it will be the end of the world if we move out? No, no, it would be good if we can move out. If he pursues us and files a lawsuit, it will be the end of the world."

Feilun shook his head helplessly, wondering why his son was so inferior to his opponent.

"I won't leave. I still have a job, and I still have "The Big Brother". His low-budget thriller will definitely be severely humiliated by the box office of "The Big Brother"."

Seeing his son falling into some abnormal emotion, Feilun didn't bother to say anything. He didn't regret it. His fault was that he was tricked by that woman.

After the press conference, Halle Berry looked at Wayne nervously.

"I've done everything you said, you won't come after me and sue me again, right?"

"Relax, Harry." Seeing her tensed look, Wayne suddenly felt a little bored. Sure enough, he was still suitable for making movies, and he couldn't bear to fall out. "You are also a victim in this matter. You did a good job. Go back and I will do what I promised you."

"Then, that videotape..."

"That videotape will only be in my collection cabinet and will not be circulated."

According to his original idea, he would "unintentionally" distribute the videotape after the press conference. Now it seems that he feels that it has little meaning to him.

After Harry left, Jimmy came up to him and asked him in a low voice: "Phelan Goodman, are you still pursuing the lawsuit? Ryan is already ready."

"Tell him to wait a few days. No giant company would want this kind of scandal to happen." Wayne let out a long breath and looked out the window at Los Angeles. "Whether he resigns or is fired by his shareholders, if Ryan sues him immediately for defamation or something else, I want him to leave Hollywood naked."

"Don't think too much, Wayne! You are a genius, a genius in making movies." Jimmy organized his words. "You shouldn't use your mind on this kind of thing. It will be much better after this incident. At least the people in the circle know that you are not easy to mess with."

"No, Jimmy, I understand what other people think. If I don't fight back, they will just think I'm easy to bully." Wayne shook his head, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

"Forget it, it seems that I am only suitable to be a director. Starting from tomorrow, I will focus all my energy on the crew, and I will leave the follow-up matters to you."

From this incident, Wayne discovered that he was just an ordinary person. If he followed his plan and used Halle Berry completely, he would immediately expose the tape again, and lawyer Ryan would immediately sue her for defamation.

The same goes for Philan Goodman. If such a major scandal occurs, he will definitely not be able to continue working at Universal, and no other company will use him.

As a result, he was sued by Wayne until he went bankrupt and left Los Angeles in despair. But Wayne found that he couldn't be so cruel. Regarding Halle Berry, a woman who was being used, he decided to keep his promise and let her go once. At least he would not chase her to death and never let go.

He knew that this might not be the right thing to do, so he should turn his back and sue Halle Berry and Fernan Goodman to bankruptcy and send them to jail. This is the normal approach for a Jewish rich man.

So Wayne discovered that he was just a normal person, and his two lifetimes of experience had not taught him to eradicate the root cause.

Warner's staff have already distributed the copies based on the list of media present. Now the media reporters are all staring at this copy, waiting to go back and break a big news.

In fact, there is no need for Wayne to do anything anymore. These uncrowned kings will quickly ignite the subsequent wave, but it is a pity that Morgan Freeman is not involved.

As the wind changed overnight, the crew's work suddenly seemed to be back on track, and everyone's eyes when looking at Wayne were no longer filled with pity and ridicule.

The shooting was finally able to proceed normally, and we can clearly feel that everyone's working status has improved.

"Will, stop smiling. Your girlfriend's mother is trying to hypnotize you and exude some panic. Do you understand?"

"Steve, make the lighting dark, I want to take a close-up of Will's face!"

Wayne walked back to the monitor with a serious expression, staring at the screen and gesturing to Luke.

"Scene 3 of "Get Out", Act 16, begins!"

"Cut! Robert, use camera No. 3 to shoot from above. Reset and start again."

Since filming started again, the director suddenly became more demanding, and the sudden tight working conditions made everyone start to be cautious.

"Cut! This one is good, Will, good performance. Let's do it again."

Nina and Sergey stood in a corner of the studio, watching the filming of the movie together.

"It turns out that this is how the movie was made. I thought it was so mysterious." Sergey stared at everything in the crew curiously. All he saw was boring shooting, and he felt that there was nothing new in making a movie.

"As time goes by, you get used to it. Who knows our boss is a movie director!" After Nina finished speaking, when she saw that the filming was paused, she immediately picked up the water glass and trotted over and handed it to Wayne.

"Metz, when you smile at Will, show your audition expression. Yes, that's the expression."

Without looking back, Wayne took the assistant's water glass, took a sip, and gave it back to her. Everyone felt that he was stricter about filming because there were going to be some funny scenes soon.

If he wasn't worried about the entire movie, then the humorous scenes were the only thing he needed to learn.

He has always known that he is not good at this, and he has no intention of developing into comedy in the future. I can only work hard to achieve the funny scenes in this film, as long as they are basically up to standard.

His plan for himself is to transform this film into a mainstream commercial film and will never touch the low-cost shit comedy. Serious, dark and profound dramas are the path he should take in the future.

As for plasma horror movies with extremely low investment and high returns, the kind of movies that have no theme and are just for the purpose of making people sick, he will not touch them. If you observe carefully, you will find that directors who started out by relying on low-cost plasma horror films will eventually seek transformation.

After this film, Wayne will also follow this path. Although he is not shooting a grindhouse horror movie, he is also afraid of being fixed in the thriller genre.

The crew currently has no scenes outside the studio, and most of them are shot on set. With Warner's prop library, Wayne frantically arranged all the scenes in the yard in the studio.

This kind of situation is relatively rare in this era. Most directors like to shoot on location and look down on this kind of trickery. This is not a problem at all for Wayne, and he is not preparing to compete for the Oscar.

The only reason for this film to appear is to make money.

Arriving at the arranged window, Metz was already prepared. Wayne and Robert explained the camera position, light and color issues, and walked next to Metz.

"Metz, this scene is a bit difficult." Wayne sat across from her. "It's nothing to you. Show your state during the audition. Pay attention to your smile. You have to convey a feeling of smiling and sad. You are the focus of this scene. I will give you Close-up of smile.”

"no problem."

Metz also gradually entered a relaxed state, and her scenes can be said to require the most conveying of information through expressions. "I have practiced it many times at home. My mother was so frightened by my smile that she stopped eating at the same table with me."

The preparations were ready, and seeing Wayne's signal, Luke picked up the scoreboard and walked in front of the camera.

"Scene 22, Act 1, begin!"

Sitting behind the monitor, Wayne propped up his arms and stared at Metz in the camera seriously.

She stood in front of the window and looked out the window, and she saw the guy Chris noticed her, and she smiled. Looking at the close-up shot on the screen, Wayne nodded with satisfaction. This cute girl was very talented, but her appearance was mediocre and her career was limited. It would be difficult for her to get ahead in the future.

"Cut! Very good, this is passed, rest for ten minutes."

As far as the current shooting progress is concerned, Wayne is very satisfied. Although the completed scenes are simple scenes, according to his estimation, the shooting time will not be more than two and a half months.

On the first day the crew started shooting, there was an accident involving racial discrimination by the director. Although there were a large number of African-American main actors, the filming and running-in were still smooth, which is very satisfying.

The faster the filming progresses, the more time Wayne has for post-production.
