Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 26: Long live the director

  Before the main text, I would like to thank my book friend yesterday for the recommendation ticket red envelope sent by his dad, Diosi. Thank you for your support and recommendation.

  ******The text begins******

   "What!? Say it again, I suspect I haven't woken up yet."

  Sometimes, the good news feels like a bolt from the blue. Although it won’t be overcast afterwards, it feels the same as if it makes people confused. Especially the beautiful blonde and blue eyes of a Persian cat making a fuss in front of him, showing his teeth and dancing claws, which is really very happy.

   "I don't know if you woke up or not, but you heard me right!"

   Charlize, who had anticipated this kind of reaction to the blonde girl, repeated it formally.

   "You, Charlize Theron, are now officially the heroine of this film! Clear!?"

"what…"

   Obviously, Charlize still did not understand, Charlotte ignored her, took a look, found that everyone was there, and greeted everyone to gather.

   "Now we have to announce two important news!"

  , it was the producer Westwood who spoke, and he glanced at the men and women in front of him.

   "Ladies and gentlemen! Our former director, Alan McElroy, cannot continue directing this film due to some personal reasons. Therefore, the official directing work will be done by—"

   He patted Charlotte, who was standing beside him, on the shoulder, making a very affectionate look.

  "—This Mr. Charlotte Booth next to me is here! Mr. Booth is young and promising. The senior executives of Xinxian and I trust his ability. I hope everyone can cooperate well in the future!"

   "What!?"

  ...Like the previous night, everyone who heard the news was shocked and couldn't help whispering. However, there are no people who object to it in the first place, not to mention the very obvious platform of the producer Westwood, so that anyone who has a brain in his head can feel the producer’s new attitude towards Charlotte. With the support of the director, the presence of these little actors, who are at best a third-rate arena, determines that there will be no troublesome thorns in them.

  —For these little actors, filming is just to make ends meet. It doesn't matter who is the director, as long as you have money to get it! Although many people also have the dream of becoming famous overnight, it is definitely a way to kill those low-level people who are not even celebrities if they are mixed into the disputes of big figures such as directors and producers. Although they can't write nozuonodie, they absolutely understand the meaning. Without this self-knowledge, they would have been kicked out of Hollywood.

"very good!"

   Seeing that everyone present readily accepted the facts, Westwood was very satisfied.

   "Since everyone has no objections, then the next piece of news is the second news. This time, Richard, it's up to you to announce it!"

   The "Richard" that Westwood said is the old gun. Today’s rally, there are more actors who do not need to enter the crew in advance. For them, the boss of the producer may not know because of few appearances, but the face of the old gun who has served as the casting director. The memorable red beard, they absolutely know all of them who have tried it. This is an arrangement made by Charlotte and the others specially before, and the old guns are also present, which can give better evidence for Westwood and Charlotte's words.

The old gun wore some neatly ironed old suits, but he did not pretend to be dignified like Westwood-then, his appearance as a Viking pirate is enough for many people who are not familiar with him. It's scary.

   "The second news is that the previous heroine, Miss Eliza Kunis, is unfortunately unable to cooperate with us due to schedule issues. Therefore, the crew decided to let Miss Charlize Theron take over as the heroine!"

   "WTF!"

   If it is said that when the producer Westwood announced the first news, the people present were more surprised. Now that they heard the second news, they were completely envious and hated. Basically all the actors present are small actors, and they have nothing to say about the director's change of this game of power. Regardless of whether Charlotte is really capable or there are people on it, they have nothing to say. But when they discovered that a heroine suddenly appeared among everyone, they were totally uncomfortable—

   Everyone used to be out of the ordinary, so why can you Charlize suddenly get ahead? —Especially the previous few young girls who acted as supporting actresses like Charlize as planned. At this time, the gaze looking at Charlize can be completely described as "the lava of hell".

   "Look, let me tell you..."

   The old gun spread his hands at Charlotte, looking like he had expected it, but the latter didn't care. Jealousy is indispensable everywhere, and it is inevitable to announce it now. But again, a group of actors who are not even considered third-tier stars cannot disagree with the crew's decision.

   "Okay, everyone!"

   Seeing that everyone has gradually accepted the two news just now, Charlotte slapped her hands.

   "In order to make the plot of the film more coherent, we urgently revised the script again. The new script will be sent to you next. Please read it in advance on the way to the location with us."

   After finishing speaking, let people distribute the new script to everyone.

   "...new script?"

  Although it is almost a necessary skill for every director to modify the script while shooting, there are few movies that are exactly the same as the script before shooting after the shooting, but this kind of emergency change of the script the day before shooting is rare. But this time the actors didn't talk any more. It seemed that the first two major news had exhausted their surprise value. They just silently opened the new script and began to look.

"This time, we were able to complete the three major things of changing the director, changing the heroine, and revising the script in just two days, and got the approval of all investors. Our luck is really good! Richard, it seems that your lucky suit is really good. It's useful!"

   asked the actors to accept the new director and script, the producer Westwood was also relieved, he patted the old gun on the shoulder and joked.

   "I hope we will always have good luck!"

   Lao Qiang was not overly optimistic. He tidied up the old but neatly ironed lucky suit.

   "Speaking of which, Charlotte, you were able to modify the script and prepare a new shooting plan in two days. This is really amazing!"

"Yes!"

   Westwood listened and sighed,

   "I can't comment on quality, but in terms of speed, Charlotte's speed in editing scripts has surpassed many top screenwriters!"

   "When the scene was set up, there was an idea to modify it. Now it's just being implemented!"

   Charlotte smiled modestly. Although he also knows that Americans with thicker lines and more direct do not really eat this set, but he really has no sense of accomplishment in completing the script modification quickly by himself—

   As said before, director Allen's previous script is somewhat similar to the "Fatal Turn" in his memory. When Charlotte studied how to arrange the scenes, he always did it in contrast to the scenes of "Fatal Turn", which further enhanced the similarity. When Charlotte took over the guide tube, he simply changed the post and used the new "Fatal Bend" script that he had spent more than two months before, combining the ideas of his predecessor Charlotte and his own memory. Replaced the previous Allen script and made this name the final name of the movie.

  —The similarity between the two is really not low anyway. Although Charlotte's script is not necessarily better than Allen's, it is relatively simple and cheaper to shoot. This is a great boon for the crew with insufficient funds. What's more, using Charlotte’s own script, he can directly compare the shooting content with the movie screens of "Fatal Turn" in his mind. This is no less than a super for him who is a director for the first time and lacks control. Plug-in.

   Of course, this is from Charlotte's point of view. From the perspective of Westwood and Old Gun, they are completely different, especially the producer Westwood—

   Before he let Charlotte succeed as the director, it was more a helpless choice. UU reading www. uukanshu.com privately, he was full of doubts about Charlotte’s abilities. He didn’t even anticipate the fact that this guy from an artist background would be able to complete the script modification and the filming plan reformulation in two days—in fact, although for Having fulfilled his wish, he hopes to continue shooting, but he is also ready to postpone or even freeze the filming and give up. However, Charlotte was taken aback by the new script and filming plan.

It is with this concise but graphic screenplay and a detailed filming plan that several investors who had deliberately given up because of the disappearance of director Allen have once again been roused with confidence and recognized Charlotte. The fact that Te succeeded as the director—In fact, Westwood had been taking Charlotte around for three days after getting the new script.

   After all, even if Westwood is a producer, he is not alone in the decision to change directors. Not to mention the upper management of the new line company as the producer, the other major investors also need them to visit one by one. Thanks to Charlotte’s eloquence, the project that had been frozen because of the director’s disappearance turned out to have a bright future...

   "This guy is definitely in the wrong line! Such a good eloquence, a cheeky liar, should be a lawyer!"

   Westwood muttered to himself,

   "If you do what he said, use the waste of Ellen's missing bastard, maybe you can really..."

   On the other side, Charlotte was not as relieved as Westwood. In fact, for him, who is in charge of the steering tube for the first time, the previous preparations are good to say that the real test has just begun. At this time, there was tension in his heart, but also a hint of excitement:

   "Let you have a taste of Lao Tzu's unique spell shooting!"
