The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter Nine hundred and eighty-eighth: Focus on work

After getting off the plane and out of the airport, Ronan drove into the financial district of Rio de Janeiro, where the crew of Fast and Furious 4 was filming exterior scenes.

The location shooting of this film has reached the final stage, and it will be transferred to the studio for shooting in about ten days.

Arriving at a main road in the financial district, this place has been temporarily closed by the Rio police. Finch went over to negotiate, and the cars of Ronan and the bodyguards quickly entered the closed area. Before reaching the filming location of the film crew, there was an explosion Passed over, which is also mixed with the sound of collision and glass shattering.

David parked the car, Ronan put on a pair of sunglasses, got out of the car and walked towards the shooting location.

Rio de Janeiro is located in the southern hemisphere, and it is the hottest summer of the year. The blazing sun shines on the road, and it seems that even the asphalt is a bit sticky to the feet.

The piercing sound of brakes sounded, and after a beautiful black sports car with high horsepower flicked its tail, it galloped along the road like a flash of lightning.

The crew of Fast and Furious 4 brought together a group of Hollywood's best stunt drivers.

Jessica Felton and Justin Lin followed Ronan's request, and any scenes with a slightly higher level of danger used basically highly specialized stunt doubles.

It is absolutely not allowed for someone like Paul Walker to have an addiction to crazy racing while the crew is filming.

When you leave the crew, you can drive as fast as you want, but during the crew, you must do things according to the terms of the contract signed by both parties.

The serious casualties of the main actors on the crew are extremely troublesome for any crew.

The actors' union and other non-profit organizations have never been a display here.

For example, when an actor dies suddenly during filming, the actor union can investigate the crew's suspicion of life, and the various insurance and compensation payments add up, even Relativity Entertainment will feel distressed.

Maybe there are too many fucking things in Hollywood, but in terms of protecting the rights and interests of union members, it is absolutely top-notch in the entertainment industry all over the world.

Even at Ronan's level, he would not underestimate the rights and interests protection organizations such as the actors' union and the directors' union that could single out three points without reason.

As for organizations such as the Environmental Protection Association and the Animal Protection Association, when any Hollywood production company hears their names, one head will become two big.

Nobody wants to deal with them.

Fortunately, in a place like Brazil, these organizations basically have no room to survive, and they will not jump out to make trouble with the crew.

Ronan didn't disturb the crew's normal work. He came under a big sun umbrella, ordered a cold drink, and watched the crew busy while drinking.

Justin Lin is coordinating the normal shooting of the crew and is very busy.

At first, Ronan didn't see producer Jessica Felton, but later saw her under the awning of a building not far from the filming location. She was communicating with several Brazilians, including one Wearing a police uniform, it is estimated that he is a staff member of a government agency in Rio de Janeiro.

Ronan had a very bad impression of the law and order in Rio de Janeiro, especially when he almost bought the copyright of City of God and asked Finch next to him: The crew didn't encounter security problems here, did they?

No. Finch replied immediately: Rio attaches great importance to the crew, and the crew's security forces are strong enough.

There was a chaotic sound from the crew's shooting site, and all the sweaty professionals of various types of work suddenly dispersed, hid in a place that could shade the sun, picked up various cold drinks and drank Hesai, and began a short rest.

Ronan came to the place where the director team was. Justin Lin was quite surprised when he saw Ronan suddenly appear, so he hurried over to say hello.

Did the filming go well? Ronan didn't explain.

Justin Lin said: The progress is a little slower than planned, but the time planned by the Rio City Hall for us is more abundant than planned, and the police are also very cooperative. I am confident that all exterior scenes will be completed within ten days. shoot.

Ronan warned: Be careful.

Justin Lin understood what he meant and said, I understand that the crew will not let the actors take risks easily.

Why are you here? A slightly surprised female voice came from behind, followed by the sound of slightly faster footsteps: Ronan, when did you arrive in Rio?

Ronan turned around, looked at Jessica Felton, and said with a smile, Just arrived, I came straight after getting off the plane.

Jessica Felton was holding a folder in her hand. It was probably too hot. She fanned it gently and asked in confusion, Why did you come to Rio suddenly?

Ronan took a bottle of cold drink, unscrewed it and handed it to Jessica Felton, saying, Drink some, to cool down.

Jessica Felton was not polite to Ronan either. After taking it, she took two sips and saw Justin Lin leading the director team to get busy again. She said, This is not a place to talk, let's go to the rest area.

Ronan nodded slightly: Let's go.

Jessica Felton led the way and walked towards a place where big sun umbrellas were set up.

Ronan followed: The weather in Rio is terrible, it's unbearably hot for Christmas.

It feels weird, doesn't it? Jessica Felton laughed, pushed the sunglasses on her face, and said, Santa Claus in Rio wears bikinis.

Ronan shrugged, followed Jessica Felton into the sun umbrella, and his eyes fell on Jessica Felton.

Jessica Felton was wearing a fitted white short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of light blue cropped jeans underneath. Small light red nails could be faintly seen between the gaps of the mesh sneakers.

The arms that were exposed outside the clothes were covered with white ice sleeves, and a light-colored sun hat was worn on top of the sunglasses on his face. His long brown hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind the sun hat.

Even though she was covered tightly, her fiery figure was still visible at a glance.

However, according to Ronan's rich experience, Jessica Felton's chest seems to be one cup smaller than when they first met.

Jessica Felton asked again: Ronan, why did you come here suddenly? You didn't make a phone call before you came.

Ronan smiled and said, It's Christmas, come and see you.

Is there a problem with the work of the crew? Jessica Felton must first think of work, and asked, Is there an accident?

Ronan shook his head slightly: No.

Jessica Felton focused on her work, and immediately thought of something, and said, Is it because I didn't give the crew a holiday? Has anyone reported to you?

Ronan simply followed her words and asked, By the way, why is there no holiday for Christmas?

Jessica Felton seriously explained: Rio de Janeiro will soon be preparing for the carnival. At that time, it will be impossible for the crew to have the great freedom of road closures and filming as they do now. We have to start in early January next year. After finishing all the location shooting, I was worried about unexpected situations, and after communicating with the main staff of the crew, I chose to work overtime to shoot.

She thought for a while, and then said: I have also made a lot of preparations, such as chartering a flight to invite the family members of the crew to visit the set in Brazil, and chartering a Christmas party on the beach of the hotel tonight. There should be little opinion within the crew about not having a holiday. ...

It is actually normal for Hollywood crews to work overtime for filming. As long as the rights and interests of crew members and overtime income are guaranteed, no one will take the initiative to cause trouble.

The sun umbrella covered the glare of the sun, Ronan took off his sunglasses, wiped his sweat, and said: Jesse, you are the person in charge of the crew, these matters are within your power, I just came to see, No other meaning.

Jessica Felton took another sip of the cold drink before saying, I thought something serious happened to the crew that I didn't understand and it alarmed you.

Ronan couldn't help laughing: We've known each other for so many years, if something happens, I won't say hello to you.

Jessica Felton's mind was all on work, and then said: That's not necessarily the case.

Strictly speaking, she is an employee of Relativity Entertainment, and Ronan is the boss. If there is a serious problem with the crew, it is impossible for Ronan not to interfere.

Ronan didn't want to talk about work anymore, so he changed the subject: The crew is going to have a Christmas party tonight?

Yeah, the hotel is ready. Jessica Felton never left work: After all, it's Christmas, and no matter how much overtime pay is paid, the crew should have a chance to celebrate and Carnival channel, so as to ensure the work efficiency in the next few days, the current filming progress of the crew is slightly behind the plan, and we need to catch up as soon as possible.

For some unknown reason, Ronan suddenly felt powerless. After a few seconds of silence, he said, I'm staying to attend the party, you won't welcome me?

Are you participating? Jessica Felton shook her head very seriously: Frankly speaking, it's not suitable for you and me to participate, and they won't let it go.

That was true, and even Ronan couldn't deny it.

As the boss of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan's status is here.

And Jessica Felton, as the producer of the crew, it is a very stupid behavior to lower her figure and celebrate the carnival with the crew.

Finch's cell phone next to him rang suddenly, he stepped out of the parasol to connect it, walked back after a few words, and whispered a few words in Ronan's ear.

Ronan immediately frowned, glanced at Jessica Felton, and said, I can't participate either, I have to go back to Los Angeles now.

Jessica Felton immediately asked with concern: What's wrong? Has something happened?

Ronan nodded slowly, and said solemnly: I just received a notification from Warner Bros. that something unexpected happened to the crew of The Dark Knight. I need to rush back to Los Angeles immediately and discuss with Warner Bros. about how to deal with it.

Work is important. Jessica Felton said: You don't have to worry about the Fast and Furious 4 crew, I'm here.

Ronan sighed softly and said, Wish everyone a Merry Christmas for me at the party.

He didn't say any more, and said to Finch: Let the crew quickly deal with the takeoff and route matters, and return to Los Angeles as soon as possible.

Finch has already contacted Ronan's business jet crew, and they will be able to take off immediately when they rush back to the airport.

Ronan could only sigh secretly in his heart, he had reminded him so many times, since the other party didn't listen, what should come will definitely come.
