Reborn to Dominate Hollywood
Chapter 138
[Lincoln Studio]
"... At the end of this board meeting, please focus your attention on what is necessary. The data should remain at current levels for at least the next two weeks, and if anything out of the ordinary, please know that things may not go our way, okay?" shouted the man sitting in the middle of the huge conference room for everyone to hear.
"Yes, sir. "
Do it right away!" Everyone
else around the conference table stood up and walked away as they discussed different things. Their whispers were still heard by the person who had been shouting about how to make the next movie.
"Why do you seem to be nervous today?" a man in a dark blue suit walked towards him. He was at the other end of the table, and given the tone in which the man had been talking, he knew what was bothering the man.
"Why do you think so?" asked the other man.
"Will, I don't think you're anything to be aggressive, what's the matter? "
I don't even know what to say, Gal. It's just that these competitions make me impatient. Ahh
The office room was finally empty, and after a long office discussion that had all the staff talking for four hours back-to-back, there were only two people left.
"Competition?Are you really talking about Ian's new movie?I-
" "You don't have to say anything, really. I really can't wait to watch the media go crazy for a film that's still in its first phase.
"I understand that he is very talented, and almost every film he writes, it is some great masterpiece waiting for his success.
Will's insulting remarks made Gar's eyes widen in surprise. Will has never been an aggressive person. It's not every day that you see a CEO like Will go berserk over a movie campaign. Judging by his demeanor and angry look, Gal felt that his aggressiveness seemed to have something else.
Was it because of Ian's identity? Was it because of how successful he was?Or was the press and people already so convinced that Ian's new film would be a success? Still, Gal had to ask a question that bothered Will and made him gnash his teeth to the point of --
"Why is your jaw so tight? How can this be? man," Gal looked at it carefully and continued to ask. "The last time you were so angry was when you found out that Vianna was unfaithful to you. He couldn't help but say what was really in his heart.
Their friendship dates back ten years. Five years in the industry and five years in the debut. However, Gal is shocked by Will's determination and trouble, which worries him as well.
"I've been in this industry for ten years. It's been ten years. The last two years have been horrible. Yes, we made three blockbusters, but all nine films shot by different directors were complete failures.
"Our company has been overfulfilled for seven years in a row, and this... The hype money Ian earns shouldn't be his. It should be ours. Will sighed again. Then, in a calm tone, he asked, "Why do you think so much chaos is happening to him?, do you think there is any reason?"
Hearing his question, Gal nodded. After Will's roar, he seemed to relax visibly.
"It's just that Ian has directed several romantic comedy films in a row. For some reason, no matter how much he directs the same genre over and over again, people are starting to like his films--" Will narrowed his eyes at Gahr, who soon stopped praising Ian.
"Well, this time it's just that he's going to make an action movie. Although he has not officially released the news, everyone thinks that he has made a new attempt in marketing.
"Well, don't worry. I'm sure our next movie will surpass his. And "Persona" will be released in about six or seven months. Will took a deep breath. "If my calculations are correct, there is no doubt that the competition will be unbeatable. Let's wait and see. I'm going to win this little game anyway. ————————————
[the cast and crew of John Wick on the set]
: "Okay, guys, focus again, I hope your eyes are focused here, can we get some enthusiasm to continue filming, or will it go on like this?" Ian asked, noticing that everyone was falling asleep.
It's 5 a.m. They had a tight schedule as Ian wanted to end the shoot early. Considering that he promised to give Keanu extra time to practice and get into the role, he wanted to expand the shooting schedule, but hurry up so as not to waste the extra time.
"Get up, I'm ready!" Keanu walked in with a smile. "If anyone knows me, they'll know how much I like to wake up early. I mean, who doesn't like an early riser on set? Oh my-my! Is that a puppy? Keanu asked the latter in a loud voice.
He was in his forties, but his eyes were full of adoration.
"Is he sleeping?" another voice came from behind them, and everyone turned their heads to see Nick bending over to take a closer look at the puppy.
"He's coming, Daddy Dog!" Ian exclaimed, making everyone laugh.
This is the second day that the puppy is set. On the first day, no one was able to take the puppy away from Nick because he had been playing with the puppy while the shoot was not going on. During one of the breaks, he even asked the owner if he could keep the puppy.
"Shhhhhh I'm going to make you look weird in the movies. I'm not kidding. He said in a hoarse tone, making everyone laugh again. "Shhhhhh

"Well, this part is simple. We all know that puppies are at home now. So there's nothing to worry about, it's still the same old-fashioned, but here, it's not the alarm clock that wakes you up, it's the puppy. As I explained earlier, your expression will be different. Ready to go?" Ian asked aloud, Keanu enough to hear.
Not very close to Keanu, he had to speak louder than usual.
Immediately afterward, he saw Keanu start performing, but it was very different from what he had imagined.
"...... No, no, no... There must be facial changes. The second camera is aimed at your face too much, so I need more emotion, even if you're sleeping... Ian shrugged, and Keanu didn't say anything, just nodded.

|Scene-7-Shooting-4
The alarm goes off, a heavy hand presses the snooze button, and then there is silence.
Bang. Bang. Boom.
Be quiet.
Bang. Bang bang
quiet
, bang bang.
One shot... John sighed, pulled the quilt open, kicked his legs apart, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed his eyes.
Bang. BANGBANG
JOHN GLANCED AT MOOSE LYING ON THE BED, ITS PAWS CROSSED, ITS HEAD TILTED, AND ITS TAIL WAGGING AROUND EXCITEDLY.
Three tones.
John growls as he watches the camera.
I'm up, I'm up.
Bang Bang
Bang Ian provides a sound that allows John to really get into the role, and the rest of the world, including the camera, is blurred from his sight.
Ian watches everything from the director's monitor.
"Ka! perfect! perfect!" Ian shouted for everyone to hear.
From the tiny monitor screen, he has been analyzing Keanu's every move, and unexpectedly, it is more perfect than he imagined.
".... Damn!" Immediately after, he heard Keanu scream and jumped out of bed.
"Take the dog away, clean up the sheets!" Nick
walked through all the equipment and approached the puppy, who was still jumping around on the bed.
Nick barked in a puppy tone as he approached.
"Aggressive guy, isn't it?" said Nick, picking up the puppy at once. He hugged the puppy as he approached Ian. "If Raelyn sees it, I'm sure she'll take it with her wherever she goes. There's no doubt about that!" he muttered, and walked away with a smile.
Ian smiled from ear to ear, and right away, he knew what had happened to him.
Little things -- fuck it! It's always these little things!!" he thought out loud, then shook his head and shook the thought away.

[Filming - The Dark Knight]
Ian didn't choose to shoot "Batman" here because he didn't just find a random place, let alone find a place, and although Railin's position was to be in charge of all the filming locations and all the decisions that the film had to make, Raireen insisted that major decisions such as filming locations and scenes that could be changed should be confirmed with Ian beforehand.
Since Ian already had a lot of ideas and plans for the movie "The Dark Knight", he didn't hesitate to say what was in his heart. It was at that meeting that Ian explained all the problems that could arise with the film.
At that meeting, Ian also elaborated on the negative psychological emotions that the Joker may face.
[Start shooting]
"... Alright, Okay! Let's get started!" Lei shouted to keep everyone focused.
This is the ninth shooting.
If there was anything that didn't go well during the shooting, it was because Lei Lin had high requirements and expectations for every line in the camera.
She has some imaginary iconic scenes – scenes that she expects are constantly playing out in her mind as she explains them. Considering her dedication to perfectionism, it is not an easy task for the cast and team to take any notch down.
"Everyone... You ready?... "The
camera begins to move slowly, and the actor playing the clown begins to enter the role, repeating the lines.
"People like me, I know why you're holding your little group therapy in broad daylight. I know why you don't dare to go out at night. Batman: He showed Gotham City who you really are, Dent is just the beginning. He gestured to Law, who had been watching him, "As for his alleged plan - Batman has no jurisdiction. "He'll find him and make him confess," he paused, smiling at Liu. "I can tell the whistleblower every time
" "... Everyone's rest for five minutes!" Lei Lin finished and went back to watching the scene.
————————————
"Let's take a look at this... Do you want to know where the scars on my top came from? And I always feel like something is missing...
She rewatched her last baggage play.
The actor did act very well. But it just doesn't feel right.
"What's wrong?" said photographer Milo, who walked over and asked Lei Lin, who kept watching the same scene over and over again.
It's been a month since filming began, and she's still far from the middle stages of the film. While she's been trying her best to speed things up, it's not fast enough. The perfectionism she strives for didn't help the shooting.
"I think I know what's missing. ," she whispered. "It's always been in front of my eyes. Thank you for your help. She nodded at Milo and walked away.
"Welcome?" Milo looked a little confused as she walked up to the actor and talked to him with interest.
He shook his head and walked over to Hayley, the photographer second only to him.
"Her goal is to be someone she can't do. Hayley saw Leiling handling things in the studio and whispered.
Milo looked at her even more confused.
"How can people these days suddenly throw strange things, where did all these things come from?" Milo asked rhetorically.
When Raelyn thanked him and walked away, Milo's expression shouted at him that he was equally confused.
"Hmm--" Hayley reached above her head. "It was terrible for me too, like in the beginning, I had a lot of respect for everything she did. She made it to the top after proving her worth, and it all... But do you see that she always tries to get this perfect shot?" she said with a frown.
"What's wrong with that? The directors know what they know. You're ridiculous. If anyone had heard what you said, you would have been fired a long time ago. So, don't say it. Milo replied with a shrug.
She couldn't help but sigh as her gaze shifted to Raylene's command to take care of the scene again.
"I just wish she could relax a little bit. "
————————————
".... ACTION!" Leilin's voice echoed on the set, and the clapper came to the camera.
And just like that, the clown jumped out of bed with lightning speed. He grabbed the man by the collar and swung his blade.
"Do you want to know where my scars come from? My father was an alcoholic and a demon. He hit my mom in front of me. One night, he was crazier than usual, and his mother picked up a kitchen knife to defend herself. He didn't like that, he didn't like One, he didn't like it at all. "
Ka! perfect!" everyone listened to as Raelin announced herself. "As I said, great! Great job, everyone!" she clapped her hands and gave the team a break.

[filming John Wick]
Ian focused on filming for a week, and this week it was John's turn to do everything the former had been doing.
John is a friend of Ian's, and his job goes hand in hand with the film business. Still, seeing Ian work and handle everything smoothly, he hopes he can do the same.
"...... I always thought that doing things my way was the only way to solve all the problems I had on set. I've learned a lot from you, though, no kidding. He muttered to himself, shrugging his shoulders as he saw Ian pack his things.
"You only have two scenes today. Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to pick up the pace. Good luck! Good luck!" Ian yelled as he left the set, waving to everyone.
Today was Ian's time off, and since everything was happening so fast and so busy, he himself wanted to take a break – and he was preparing to take advantage of that time. During this time, he plans to do a lot of things, including starting to work on the next big project.
Ian walked out of the set and sighed loudly, even though it was empty outside.
After that mess with reporters the other day, the media was frantically discussing what Ian was doing. And he couldn't cope with all the people on the set, so he had to make sure that there were no people with cameras and microphones on the set.
"It's going to be a good night—" he thought, before walking over to his SUV and telling the driver that he needed to go home.
————————————
walks into the mansion and is greeted by a redhead with lipstick on her face, who will catch anyone's eye even from miles away.
"Scarlett, nice to see you in Los Angeles!" Ian said, leaning closer to hug Scarlett.
"Ah, it's my pleasure, Ian!" she hugged him back as hard.
"You may be seated. He invited her to sit on the white couch, which looked so expensive that people were afraid to walk over it—let alone sit on it.
She sat down and smiled broadly at Ian.
"How's it going?" Ian asked, walking over to the built-in bar and bringing a few glasses of champagne.
"I just wanted to take a break, so I came. What do you think?" asked Scarlett.
Her voice brought him so many memories, not to mention that she was in the room with her whole being. Ian breaks the bottle and begins the initial conversation.
"I think you're doing a great job. And it looks like maybe you'll be going to be popular soon!" Ian shrugged and handed her the glass.
"My big breakthrough has come. Who would have thought that a newcomer like me would be able to keep everything in order and even win an award... But because of you, everything that all the rookie actors dream of has become a reality for me. So, I have to thank you. Scarlett said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. You've been a good friend of mine ever since. "
How are you and Raelin?" Scarlett asked rhetorically, blinking.
"It's good. And I feel like you might have a way to make it better. Ian began to explain his thoughts as he spoke, and surprised her when Leylin got home.
After explaining the whole plan, the corners of Scarlett's mouth curled, and a similar expression appeared on Ian's face.
"Are you participating?"
"Of course!"
————————————
at eight o'clock in the evening, when Lei Lin walked in, the lights in the mansion had dimmed.
After a busy day, a break of relief can help her decompress.
Staring at Ian's text message asking her to come over, she walked in with a smile on her face.
"Valerine, where's Ian?" she asked, seeing Valerin coming from the other side of the hall.
"Rei, here!" Ian shouted from the top of the stairs, his chattering mood sending a smile to the corners of Leylin's mouth, but her brow furrowed, asking what the hell he was up to.
