Hollywood Drawing - Chapter 611

Popular recommendation:

James Franco, who has been silent for a long time, when he heard Sofia Coppola’s words, he couldn’t help looking at his agent for the first time. Emotions.

Obviously, Wayne didn’t give him a chance to apologize first, which is a good thing for him, no one knows. Now he would rather sincerely apologize to all the main creators of the crew in front of the entire crew of more than 300 people, rather than face a situation beyond his control alone.

The lit cigarette had been stunned and forgot to smoke. When James Franco reacted and stood up and wanted to go out with the assistant director, he discovered that the filter of the cigarette was stuck to his lips.

Two fingers subconsciously clamped on the cigarette, ready to take the cigarette out of his mouth and extinguish it. Unexpectedly, at this time, because the cigarette was stuck on his lips, he moved his fingers from the **** to the butt. With the sound of “呲la”, the two people around him saw the change in his face.

“f**k! Shit…”

James Franco’s chaotic appearance fully showed his messy heart at this time. Not only the agent on the side frowned, but even Sofia Coppola, who was standing at the door of the dressing room, immediately felt a headache. .

As the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, she basically grew up in this circle, so she has seen too many actors who accidentally explode into popularity and get carried away by the short-lived fame and fortune.

At this time, James Franco was also included in this category by her, and she was not even as arrogant as those who were dazzled because of their popularity. At least these people swelled immediately because of a movie that exploded, right?

What about this guy in front of you? It is only because of the huge influence of the DC series and the natural attraction of the Wayne crew that he was chosen to play The Flash and was sought after by the media.

The same situation was experienced by Christian Bale back then, but obviously “British Batman” was not knocked down by the media’s touting. Look at this guy again, how many things have happened in just over a week of the crew’s holiday? At least most of the crew now see James Franco as a troublemaker.

“Good luck, boy.”

Leading the male protagonist to the door of the director’s office, Sofia Coppola shook her head slightly, laughed in a low voice, turned and walked towards the busy studio.

Now is the preparation time before the crew starts shooting the first shot material. She always remembers her goal of joining the crew, and wants to follow the assistant director Gilmour’s side, thoroughly learn the rules of Wayne’s crew operation, and learn from it. experience.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

With an uneasy mood, James Franco let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the back of the woman’s skirt as she walked away, raised his hand, and knocked on the door of the director’s office.

“ein, please.”

As the office door opened, a polite female voice sounded.

James Franco nodded politely with Nina, who opened the door. After the other party avoided him, he raised his legs and walked into the office that decided his own destiny.

It was different from what he imagined. In the office, Wayne was lying on the table, frowning slightly, writing and drawing in his director’s notebook. On the simple single sofa in the lounge area, the crew producer Charles -Rowan, with his hands folded on the coffee table in front of him, is raising his head and looking at himself seriously.

“Mr. James Franco.”

Charles Rowan stretched out his hand and pointed at the sofa beside him. His expression didn’t change. “Sit down, I think, we need to talk.”

Nodding silently, James Franco glanced at the director, who was still lying behind the desk, but his heart that had been hanging on, gradually let go.

Even if some things are not said, everyone in the crew is very clear. Usually in other major production crews in Hollywood, when the producer is dispatched to talk to you about things, it basically means that it is not a trivial matter. Otherwise, the producer who is the absolute control of the crew is not won’t show up.

Even if there is a matter that requires the producer to come forward to discuss, generally the only person who connects with him is the actor’s agent, which means that everything must be done according to the rules and regulations.

However, all of this was reversed in Wayne’s crew, because in this crew, the director is the one with absolute power, and the producer is mostly a deputy who assists him in matters other than filming.

The current situation is obvious, although Charles Rowan looks serious, as if he will take out the contract at any time, but in fact, in James Franco’s heart, he has already expected that one of his feet has passed the test, The troubles caused were not to the point where the crew had to sweep themselves out of the house.

The thing is very simple, the agent came forward to play the role of the villain, just to preserve the relationship between the actor and the director of the crew, there should be no hidden cracks that would affect the filming of the official footage later, and another very important point, that is His agent was not invited for this conversation.

It means that everything still belongs to the internal affairs of the crew, and it is not to the point of being official and talking about the terms of the contract.

“Listen, Mr. Franco.”

The fingers tapped lightly on the coffee table, and the producer’s slightly hoarse voice sounded. “All the “misunderstandings” that happened before, the Warner Bros. PR department and the legal department took a lot of effort to suppress it. What I mean, you should understand.”

When facing this male protagonist, Charles Rowan actually felt uncomfortable in his heart. Just like what he said, the other party was arrested in the Los Angeles Police Department twice because of some broken things, which means that before making any profit for Warner Bros., he will let Warner Bros. wipe his **** first. Which producer should I put this on? People will not feel comfortable.

Warner Bros. and the crew didn’t care about the bail money, but the influence of public opinion after the incident was the main reason for him to feel uncomfortable. It seems that the current scandal has been suppressed by the public relations department of Warner Bros., but who knows if it will be made a fuss by competitors in the future.

“Sorry, Mr. Rowan.”

After a while of silence, James Franco gritted his teeth, and the first sentence he spoke was an apology. Taking a peek at Wayne behind the desk again, he lowered his head slightly and said, “I apologize for what happened before, sorry, I promise that in the future work, nothing like this will happen again.”

“Very good, at least your attitude makes me satisfied.”

In the face of the bow of the leading actor in the crew, Charles Rowan didn’t go too far. After all, if we look at it according to the rules, the guy on the opposite side is also the top five in the crew. “but……”

As his voice turned, the fingers that tapped the coffee table rhythmically stopped at the same time. There was no time for James Franco to be happy at all, and then he said seriously: “You apologize to me, or even to Director Greenberg, it is not what we want. The most important thing is to see what you do.”

Looking at the handsome young man sitting across from him, Charles Rowan showed a smile. The conversation was obviously much better than he expected, and there was no over-inflated mentality in speculation.

“James.”

Surprisingly, Wayne, who had been sitting behind his desk and never raised his head, suddenly sat up straight, put away the pencil, closed the director’s notebook, and looked at the two who were talking. people.

After his voice sounded, the two sitting on the sofa looked over, and James Franco’s eyes were full of apprehension, because this is the leader of the crew.

“Like what Charles said, if you can take the initiative to apologize, then the previous thing will be over. Don’t worry, you don’t have to accept the emotional counterattack from me or anyone in the crew. When you get out of this door, no one will talk about the previous one. things.”

“Thank you, Director Greenberg, thank you.”

James Franco, who was sitting on the sofa, bowed slightly, and when he heard these words, he really let go of all his worries in recent days. “I swear, I will never cause trouble to the crew again after filming begins.”

“very good.”

Waving at the actor on the set, Wayne tilted his head, apparently quite satisfied with the answer. Just when everyone thought that this simple conversation was about to end, he reached out and snapped his fingers, and opened his desk drawer under the puzzled eyes of the other three in the office.

“That’s it, um, Jeff’s collection…”

The three of them looked at his DiDi Gugu movements, and they were a little confused. Then they watched him take out a cigar humidor from the drawer, put it on the table to open it, and carefully picked up a thick one from the inside. The cigar shook at several people.

No one knew what he was going to do, so he could only watch silently as he picked up the cigar cutter, cut off the end of the cigar, and threw it at James Franco. The gun was thrown over.

“Try this stuff and tell me how it feels.”

Although it was a bit inexplicable, James Franco still lit the cigar, took a deep sip under the watchful eyes of several people, and slowly exhaled a large cloud of fragrant green smoke.

“Uh…” In fact, of course he can smoke cigars, but he has never smoked such a top-level product, and he doesn’t know the purpose of the director, so he felt it for a while, and then said: “Top-level, very top-level The top-of-the-line product, the fruit aroma is intoxicating, this kind of thing should be enjoyed slowly and quietly…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a few applause of “crack, clap, clap”. He raised his head and looked at the director who was clapping his hands in confusion. Seeing that the other party was holding the director’s notebook, he stood up from behind the desk and raised his wrist. Glancing at the time, while letting the ice cubes on his face thaw, he showed a smile and stared at him and said:

“Remember this taste, because every time you take a sip, you will be sucking out hundreds of dollars. This cigar is a collection of Warner Bros. CEO Jeff Robinoff, a collection that he is not willing to enjoy at ordinary times, and the price is far It’s much higher than you think! You can’t even buy a few of these guys for your movie’s salary!

so, be sure to remember this taste and feel! Whether it’s your character or whatever, that **** never counts for me. But you have to film well, otherwise you will never have a chance to enjoy this top-notch product in your life!

Nina, Charles, it’s almost time, let’s go out and see how Gilmour and their preparations are going. ”

Before leaving the office, Wayne stopped again, looked back at James Franco who was staring at the cigar in a daze, smiled and said, “The cigar is for you, think about my words, James.”
