Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 155

The suspension of filming this time made the hearts and minds of the crew even more volatile. At the same time, it also caused another impact: the main creative team headed by Tom Cruise had more serious opinions on director Christopher Macaulay.

Frankly speaking, Roman still underestimated Tom Cruise’s powerful control over the crew. He thought that finding a new director to come in, or a partner who would work closely with Tom Cruise in the future, would have a good effect on the filming.

But now it seems that if we continue to cooperate in this way, the relationship between everyone can only become more and more unbalanced.

Perhaps, director Christopher Macaulay has a very bad impression of Tom Cruise. After all, as a director, he has not been able to handle many of the shooting matters so well. Everything has to be suppressed. People are not too good after all.

Roman also knows how these conflicts arise in the crew, but he has no good way to solve them. You can’t tell Tom Cruise, don’t be nosy. These words are obviously not so easy to say.

Don’t look at Tom Cruise’s face always with a gentle smile, but if it really hurts his prestige and interests in the crew, it is probably not so easy to deal with.

Roman also had to continue to defend the decision of director Christopher Macaulay and support his exquisite shots.

After adjusting again, this one finally meets the director’s requirements.

After having lunch, I continued to follow the pre-set shooting plan in the afternoon. With Roman’s full watch next to him, there were a lot less moths in the crew, and the shooting went smoothly.

On the second day, the crew without exception turned to the shooting of dangerous shots. After the film’s new director, although the plot design has been optimized, gunfights, shooting, car chases, explosions, etc. can enhance the audience’s adrenaline. Film elements are also not lacking. The success of commercial films is inseparable from these segments that stimulate the nerves of the audience.

After filming a few essays in the morning, director Christopher Macaulay didn’t even eat lunch, so he took the set team and special effects team to leave Paramount’s studio on a bus to go to the afternoon shooting. I went to the location to check the situation.

“Tom Cruise, how’s it going, is it okay with the food?” Taking advantage of the lunch break, Roman found Tom Cruise who was sitting alone eating.

“It’s okay, I’m not picky about food.” As a big star Tom Cruise ate the meals prepared for him by the crew, and did not say that he would prepare his lunch separately. Although he has a higher diet standard compared with other crew members, it is still the same when compared with his worth.

“What do you think of Christopher Macaulay?” The relationship between the crew and the creative team is always problematic, but it is not a good thing. Roman also wants to reconcile the contradiction between them.

“I have a lot of ideas for things, and filming is okay, but I have a bad temper and personality, and my eyes are always cold. I don’t seem to be pleasing to everyone. I can’t communicate well when talking.” Tom Cruise gets along with the new director After so many days, the dissatisfaction with him has been kept in his heart, and the question that Roman came over today obviously got him in his mind. Tom Cruise also asked Roman to talk about Christopher Macaulay’s thoughts in his heart.

“Have you ever thought about some problems in the crew.” After listening to it, Roman did not follow Tom Cruise’s meaning to answer, but asked him a question.

“What do you mean?” Tom Cruise didn’t understand.

“You are too strong, Tom Cruise. As the director of this film, he is controlled by you everywhere. Do you think he will be in a good mood?”

“Subject to me?” Tom Cruise said a little puzzled: “I didn’t interfere with his shooting ideas. He said to start again, and I did as he said. Is there any problem?”

“You think the crew listens more to you, it’s his.”

This silence silenced Tom Cruise. After so many days of unsatisfactory shooting, he always looked for problems with director Christopher Macaulay, but forgot how embarrassing his existence made him.

“What do you want to express? Mr. Roman.”

“You should appropriately lower your right to speak in the filming of the crew, and give the director Christopher Macaulay some respect. I think he will get along with you happily.” Roman asked euphemistically, as for Whether or not Tom Cruise will do that is not his business. He can only persuade him in this way of heart-to-heart talk. If he really wants to suppress Tom Cruise’s position in the crew, there is no doubt. There will be a lot of problems with this project, maybe even the smooth shooting is a luxury.

At this point, Roman didn’t continue to say anything. He left here, leaving enough room for Tom Cruise to think.

At about one in the afternoon, the subsequent members of the crew took a bus and left the set one after another and went to filming locations.

Five buses drove on the road in a short distance, and the one in the middle of the bus sat on the main actors and the management of the various departments of the crew.

Tom Cruise was in this car. As soon as he got on the car, he chose a position by the window. The rest of the actors were afraid to sit with him because they were in awe of him. There is no one around, and it looks like they are isolated.

At this time, although his eyes always seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window, his attention was not on the affairs along the way.

Tom Cruise was still thinking about what Roman said to him at noon.

He couldn’t help asking himself, is he really strong in the crew?

He has an answer to this question.

Thinking of my dissatisfaction with director Wu Yusen’s shooting shots, he asked to shoot according to his ideas, but when the two editing was inconsistent, the post-production staff still took care of his ideas.

Even when it comes to filming this drama, he still exudes his control over the crew all the time.

Maybe he really has a problem like this. The failure of the second “Mission Impossible” and the poor reputation of the audience all show that it is not a good thing for him to intervene in the filming of the film.

Tom Cruise thought about it a lot in the car, and he also thought that it was a problem for him to distrust the director’s ability so much.

He regards this series as a treasure and wants every one to succeed, not only in the box office market, but also a victory for the audience’s reputation. But if you intervene in the director’s shooting every time, and change the director after the movie is released, it’s like being caught in a vicious circle, shooting—release—change director—re-establish the style of the film.

Tom Cruise is not stupid, he also recognizes the problem, he thinks, pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

This is his painstaking effort, and it is not the director’s painstaking effort.
