Hollywood Director 1992

"Are you being so strict with Liv Tyler because you're worried about losing the bet to me?" Sophia joked on set.

"No, we're filming a movie, and all work revolves around making a good film. I won't pay attention to anything else," Link said.

Link sat in front of the monitor, reviewing the shots frame by frame. Later, he would take the time to cut out some unnecessary shots, leaving the useful parts, which would also save some time when editing the film in the future.

If he didn't cut out the extra shots during filming, the length of the film would be several thousand meters long after filming, which would be very difficult to edit.

"But she's only seventeen years old. Aren't you worried that she'll quit if you're so strict with her?"

"She took on this role, and it's her responsibility to play it well. As for quitting, if she can't persevere, it would be a good thing for the crew if she quit early."

As he spoke, the phone on the table rang.

Link looked at the number. It was Bibi Buell's. Could it be that Liv really wanted to quit? He answered the phone and listened for a few sentences, then put down the phone and smiled.

"Liv called to thank me, saying that she will work harder to play the role well in the future."

"It seems that this little girl is smarter than expected, not the kind of girl who only has a pretty face and no brains," Sophia said.

"There can't be only one beautiful and smart girl in the world," Link smiled and continued to mark the shots.

Sophia, Paul Thomas Anderson, and others led the crew to continue shooting exterior scenes and transition shots.

These shots didn't require actors to appear, so the shooting difficulty was not high.

The next morning, Liv Tyler came to the set to film, and specially brought Link a snack to thank him for his guidance. She also took the initiative to ask him to be stricter in the future, and to criticize and guide her if he found that she was not performing well, without having to worry about her emotions.

Link encouraged her a few words. For this kind of actor who wants to improve, Link expressed his appreciation and support, and would give her some more guidance when time permitted.

So in the following performances, he continued to treat Liv Tyler strictly. As long as the performance was not up to standard, he would ask her to do it again. If once wasn't enough, then ten times. If ten times wasn't enough, then twenty times, fifty times, until she performed to his satisfaction.

It's just that Liv Tyler wasn't as strong as she had expected. Sometimes, after filming more than a dozen times, she still hadn't passed, and Liv would cry with red eyes, and would even tremble with fear when he approached.

This situation continued until Angelina Jolie joined the crew.

Angelina Jolie was one year older than Liv. She was the daughter of Oscar winner Jon Voight, a Hollywood second-generation star, with a beautiful appearance and a hot figure, but her personality was also more rebellious, like a little gangster.

After entering the crew, it seemed that she was not here to film a movie, but was here for Link.

She brought him coffee and fruit every day, and harassed him by his side after filming.

Link was not interested in this kind of little gangster, so he had to pretend to be a cold and aloof male god, and strictly demanded Angelina Jolie during filming, forcing her to show her best acting skills.

Compared with Liv Tyler, Jolie had a better acting talent and was a little smarter.

With a little guidance, Jolie could produce what he wanted in many scenes. She was easier to get on track than Liv Tyler, and Jolie was also very mature and wouldn't feel wronged to the point of crying when criticized.

It was also more difficult to deal with.

After Jolie joined the crew, every time Liv Tyler's performance didn't pass, she would laugh at her. If Liv felt wronged to the point of crying, Jolie would sneer and call her mommy's good girl, telling her to go back to school and not be an actress.

This also led to an extremely disharmonious relationship between the two. Once, while acting in a scene together, Jolie said something, and Liv angrily threw the script in her face.

Then the two wrestled together.

Two seventeen or eighteen-year-old, 175cm tall, beautiful girls fighting on set, the effect was extremely amazing.

Ryan, Joaquin, and Edward, three weak chickens, joined forces but couldn't pull them apart. Edward's neck was scratched by Liv, Ryan's nose was punched by Jolie, and Joaquin was directly knocked to the ground, with his four feet facing the sky.

Link had no choice but to go on stage himself, grabbing one in each hand and lifting them to the side, asking Jolie to apologize to Liv first, as she had verbally attacked first, and then asking Liv to apologize, as she had made the first move. Both were at fault.

Jolie had the upper hand in the fight. Hearing his words, she smiled and apologized to Liv, with a triumphant posture.

Liv glared at her angrily with red eyes, and finally said 'Sorry' very reluctantly.

"Okay, let's just let this matter pass. Don't make any more trouble in the future. Everyone is a colleague in the same crew. What's it like to be fighting and making trouble?"

"Okay, Link, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to whatever you say."

Angelina Jolie took Link's arm with a smile, her posture very intimate, one would have thought she was Link's girlfriend.

"Bitch!"

Liv Tyler cursed in a low voice.

Jolie smiled and raised a middle finger.

"Enough!"

Link had a headache. Most of the women in the entertainment industry were two-faced. Some looked beautiful on the screen, like goddesses, but had all kinds of problems and bad habits in private, no different from ordinary women, some even worse.

Liv Tyler looked quiet and sweet on the surface, speaking softly, like a good girl, but was more rebellious inside.

Angelina Jolie was indeed a little gangster at the moment, smoking, drinking, and seducing handsome guys.

Both were problem girls, which also happened to fit their character settings.

"Jolie, Liv, I don't care what conflicts you have, it's best to restrain yourselves on the set. There are hundreds of people in the whole crew, spending hundreds of thousands every day. If you make a scene, many people's work will be in vain, and the crew's plan will have to be delayed. Do you think this is good?"

Link looked at Jolie and Liv Tyler with a cold face.

"Link, I know I was wrong. Don't worry, I will never pay attention to her again in the future, and I won't interfere with the crew's work, because I don't want you to be angry."

Angelina Jolie said, leaning on Link.

Liv Tyler's mouth moved, and she cursed 'Bitch' in a voice that only she could hear.

"Liv?"

Link looked at Liv Tyler.

"I know, as long as a certain bi... woman doesn't provoke me, I won't bother with her either."

Liv Tyler turned her face away unhappily, her mouth turned down.

"Okay, everyone go and check your bodies for injuries. If you are not injured, continue filming in half an hour."

Link waved his hand and let the two disperse.

"See, I told you it's not easy to be a director, but you didn't believe me," Ben Affleck said, staring at Link not far away. "To be a director, you not only have to know how to film, but also how to guide actors. You have to be energetic and work 24 hours a day without complaining. The most important thing is that you must be strong enough to separate the actors when they fight."

Saying that, Ben Affleck turned his head and glanced at the three of them, "You guys are really weak enough. Three people joined forces and couldn't pull apart two little girls, but instead got injured. You guys are so weak, you definitely can't be directors."

Joaquin rubbed his sore butt, "Don't talk cheaply here. Why didn't you go up and pull them when they were fighting just now?"

"Yes, you saw them fighting, and you hid far away. That's not cool enough," Ryan rubbed his nose, he had just been punched by Jolie, although it didn't draw blood, but it shed a lot of tears.

Edward Norton covered his neck, his eyes blank, and didn't want to speak.

"Haha, I'm an actor, not a security guard. What does their fight have to do with me? It's normal to hide far away, otherwise like you guys?"

Ben Affleck laughed jokingly.

Joaquin and the three looked at each other and shot together to press him to the ground.
