Hollywood starts with animation

Universal Pictures shooting base.

The filming scene of the crew of the movie "The Scorpion King".

"You can't kill me!"

"No one in this world can kill me! Ask why? Because I am in hell!"

"I am...Scorpion King!!!"

The Scorpion King, played by Dashi Johnson, looked at all opponents condescendingly.

His just right burly figure, even if he doesn't have much acting skills, restores the corner of the Scorpion King very high.

"Crack~"

With the order of director Chuck Russell, the filming ended.

"Director, do you need another one?"

Johnson, who has a burly appearance, behaves a bit dull and humble at this moment, and the whole person has formed a strong contrast.

Director Chuck Russell waved his hand, looked at him with an appreciative look, and said: "No, you have a very good interpretation of this period. Johnson, you have to be more confident in the future, although you are not a professional actor Born, acting is slightly immature, but I believe you will succeed in Hollywood."

"Thank you director, I will work harder in the future!" Johnson said quickly.

He is still so humble.

This is not only very useful to director Chuck Russell, but also many of the members of the "Scorpion King" group have a good impression of this humble young man.

"Everyone take a break and take the next picture in twenty minutes."

The director Russell shouted.

The assistant directors, production team, props team, and setting team leaders all responded.

In Hollywood, the vast majority of directors are merely instrumentalists for the crew.

You have to do what the producer tells you to shoot.

Especially the script!

Under the industrialized model of Hollywood, before a movie enters the shooting cycle, the script must be finalized after three changes of its draft.Once the script is finalized, the director of the crew has no right to make any changes.It is almost impossible to modify the script in the middle of filming.

"Director, what's the matter?" Johnson asked suddenly.

"Uh?"

Upon hearing this, the director Russell was taken aback and said: "Before the script of "The Scorpion King" was finalized, I wanted to revise a few paragraphs, but they were all rejected. I believe that after my revision, our movie will Better, but...the result, you know."

What result?

Of course it is impossible to change the script!

Once the script is adapted, Universal Pictures, as the producer, will pay an extra $1 to $2 million for this.

Suddenly, Johnson suddenly said: "Director, are you sure that your revised script will be even better?"

"of course!"

Director Russell blurted out.

As the director who used to film "Ghost in Disguise", he has quite strong self-confidence.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Johnson said: "If, I said if, can I persuade Mr. James Jacks to agree to modify the script?"

"Can you?!" Russell looked at him in surprise.

Johnson nodded: "I can."

He answered firmly, but Russell still looked at him suspiciously.

Two words-do not believe.

This feeling of being questioned made Johnson a little unhappy.

...

Rest time at noon.

James Jacks, the producer of the "Scorpion King" crew, is here.

"what?!"

Jacks was furious: "Do you suggest that I amend the script that has been finalized? Do you still think I will promise you? What are you kidding me!"

Johnson: "..."

Johnson was really a little confused at the moment.

In his impression, the producer James Jacks is a gentleman, who always speaks like a spring breeze, and Jacks has always taken care of her, otherwise he, a non-professional actor, would not become the "Scorpion King". "The hero of the movie.

Attitudes before and after... a huge difference!

After a little stunned, Johnson continued to speak: "Mr. Jacks, I really think Director Russell's words are reasonable. After his revised script, it is indeed better than the original script. I think... "

"shut up!"

Before Johnson could speak, he was interrupted by the furious producer Jacks.

Moreover, at this moment Jacks is surprisingly angry!

He is like a volcano that erupts completely.

"who do you think You Are?!"

"The film "The Scorpion King" has been prepared for a full 5 months in the early stage. It took more than 2 months to finalize the script alone. It took a lot of manpower and material resources. Now that you are talking about it, you persuade me to modify the script. Do you think it is possible?"

"Can you compensate for the millions of dollars in losses before and after the script was revised?"

"Remember, you are just an actor!"

"No, I was wrong, you are just a lucky guy."

"Do you think you would become the hero of "The Scorpion King" without me? Give me your position, OK?"

The machine gun-like speech spurted out.

The words of producer Jacks pierced Johnson's heart like a knife.

"..."

Johnson stopped talking, his mouth moved, and finally he dared not refute a word.

At this moment, Johnson did not understand.

He didn't understand why the producer Jacks was so angry, even if it was because of the reason to modify the script, he wouldn't point his nose to curse like this?

why?

Why is he so angry?

Is it really because I overruled it?

Johnson is a smart man, he is thinking about everything now.

In fact, the reason why the producer Jacks is so angry is mainly because he was assaulted by classmate Zhu Ke at the "Lord of the Rings" preview a few days ago.

Not only was he stunned, but he completely ignored him afterwards!

Jacks, who had nowhere to vent the fire in his heart, hit the atmosphere giant Johnson himself. Of course he would not give a good face.

"Director Russell, you asked Johnson to come to me to modify the script?" Jack asked the director.

Upon hearing this, Russell immediately replied: "You have misunderstood, how could I make such an excessive request. I am a senior director. Of course, once the script is finalized, there is absolutely no possibility of revision."

Jacks nodded, saying nothing.

However, he subconsciously glanced at Dashi Johnson not far away, and his eyes showed a sense of disgust, um, the undisguised kind.

Johnson's heart immediately stirred.

After the producer Jacks left, Johnson walked to the director Russell in annoyance and asked, "Director, why don't you tell the truth?!"

"Humph!"

Russell coldly snorted, "Are you asking me? Then, in what capacity are you asking me, are you a director, a producer, or an investor? If not, please You shut your mouth obediently."

"you!"

When Johnson was annoyed, he felt for the first time that human nature was so complicated and fickle.

You know before that, both the producer Jacks and the director Russell, including most of the entire crew, admired him very much.

But... now?

desolate!

Endless sadness!

Johnson felt bad all over.

"Look at it, Hollywood is like this." Johnson's uncle Bach came to comfort him.

Johnson nodded dumbly.

There was something called "regret" in his heart again.

Once when he was in the film crew invested by Wald Pictures, although he was not the male number one or the second male number, he stayed there quite well, at least not so much intrigue.

"Uncle, I really shouldn't have left..."

Johnson gritted his teeth and said.

Bach sighed and said, "I know, I know everything. But since you have chosen this path, there is no turning back. You can only move on, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and thorns. Bumpy."

Soon, the break was over.

The film "The Scorpion King" continues to be filmed.

However, just a few shots, Johnson was severely scolded by the director.

"Shit!"

"Are you a brown bear? What are you doing stupidly?"

"Can you still shoot, you can't shoot, get off as soon as possible! You idiot!"

"" The first one is sent, there are votes to vote, dear~
