King of Hollywood

Chapter 8: Spicy Girls

Each director must have his or her own authority when he or she is on the set, even those commercial films where the investor dictates, unless the producer sent to produce the film is an idiot or the director is too arrogant, and the producer will carefully defend the director's authority on the set. Because it's about how well a movie is done, and if a director can't command it like an arm, it's a disaster for any movie in production.

Every director has his own way of declaring authority, like James, who hasn't started shooting Terminator Two yet? Cameron likes to roar and drink on the set, so he's privately referred to as a film tyrant. But this is certainly not the way Adrian wants it, and he prefers to disparage the wrongdoers with speed.

It's just that this method is better suited for people who have been working with him for a long time, and experience tells us when to react, and now these staff members are temporarily assembled. Once the words are weighed down, it may be counterproductive, and at this time, a person needs to come out and sing red-face in a circle, which is exactly what Dennis plays.

I have to admit that Dennis is a very good eye-catcher, and Adrian didn't take that into account when he first started mocking him, but Dennis took up the subject in a timely fashion and very skillfully persuaded him to comfort others in a timely manner. And for every problem anyone has in the future, one person ridicules or gets angry, another person necessarily persuades and comforts, and works well with no one but a few employees at the movie company.

“You know, jobs like waiters have to be visual, and there's an established procedure for dealing with a Guest's grievances, and you have to keep talking to him until his mood is settled.” Dennis explains so.

As a result, Adrian became more fond of this guy, and holding him up seemed to be a good idea. But now is not the time to talk about it. He has more important things to deal with.

“Joseph! Where have you been? Where's the man I want?” Adrian screamed a little angry, and soon a slightly gasping voice came along: “I'm coming, Mr. Adrian, I'm coming. ”

The thin shadow hurried over, followed by a young girl about 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 20 years old, and walked curious to the right.

“I... I found the man you wanted, Mr. Adrian," Joseph rubbed his sweaty forehead and pulled a young girl to introduce him, “This is...”

“Is this the actor I need, Joseph? Is that what I need?” Adrian glanced at the girl and questioned her in a tone that suppressed anger, "Do you know what kind of actor I need, Joseph?! Look at her. Look at her! What I need is a skinny, seemingly diseased girl who doesn't seem to mind, but what are you looking for? Short, messy hair, basically hasn't been taken care of, don't tell me she's actually a man! ”

“A… Mr. Adrian, I can explain…" Joseph said, waving his hands in panic.

“There's nothing to explain, Joseph. Think for yourself. How many times has this been?” Adrian looks at him harshly, “not to mention the things that happened before, the actress thing was already agreed a few days ago - even if there aren't many shots of the character - but you've been dragging it to this point! You think pulling someone over on the street is done?! ”

“Sorry, Mr. Adrian, I'm just...” Poor assistant looks like she's about to cry.

“Excuse me, Mr. Director, may I have a word?” A clear voice plugged in, with a frustrating British accent, sounded delightful, but only angry in the face of the speaker.

“Unfortunately, ma'am, I'm not going to randomly find someone inexperienced to play this role, so if you're just curious and want to try it, go back.” Adrian said without mercy.

“I must say, you are not a gentleman at all, Mr. Director!” Sarcasm in the girl's tone, "the previous defamation of my gender has been left out, I really want to know how you can conclude that I have no experience? ”

In the eyes of that bright brown eye, Adrian's throat rolled slightly, but he would certainly not have mistaken himself at this time and quickly set God down to ask: “How can you prove your experience, miss?! ”

“Yes, I admit it was pulled from the street by Mr. Joseph, but that doesn't mean anything. My father and mother are excellent actors and famous, I was born in a performer's house, and I have played many roles in the school's theatre troupe - of course, Mr. Director 'you’ certainly don't need to know that. ”

There was a low laugh and it stopped until Adrian swept them away. Adrian wanted to refute the last two words, but the girl in front of him didn't give him a chance at all: "But ‘you’ would certainly say that whether parents are actors or have played a role in a theatre troupe in school, it doesn't make any sense. After all, theatre and cinema are the same thing, and theory and practice are different, but the question is - you don't even give them a chance to try, so why deny that a person is incapable? Oh, yes, ‘you' have that right, even at the expense of justice and fairness. ”

Adrian's face was slightly youthful. He didn't expect the girl with the sharp mouth to talk to him like that in public. You know how hard it is for him to... well, there doesn't seem to be anyone else at the moment, so you'll know what justice and fairness are!

“Virgil, come and put on her makeup and try two shots.” Soon after a silent stare at the girl, Adrian turned to a distant makeup artist.

The young girl apparently relieved herself, but then raised her chin again as Adrian's eyes turned around. Unfortunately, Adrian's eyes did not stay on her, but walked over to the camera. The girl skipped her mouth and waved her fist at Adrian's back, then followed Joseph to makeup.

“Well, you've got the part now -" Adrian looked at the signature on the contract, "Catherine? Miss Bethansa, I'm sure Joseph has told you about this, and I'm sure you'll be all right. ”

“Yes, Mr. Director… I will do my best.” The girl named Catherine was going to ask Adrian's name, but when she saw his faceless face, she dismissed the thought, and it was like the kid was demonstrating intentionally. She had a pretty good boob: “You won't regret it, sir. ”

“I hope so.” Adrian replied briefly and then turned to direct the rest of the group to finish the breath. The girl shrugged her shoulders and said nothing, looking for a place to sit down and read her own thin script. She didn't see the smile on Adrian's mouth.

After the staff set up the scene of the young drug dealer's lair, Adrian manipulated the camera for a few simple shots, as he had done before, and then stepped up his pace. After a few uncomplicated plays, it was Miss Catherine's turn.

As the only female character in the whole movie, she doesn't play much, and if she does well, she can do it in up to three days. Katherine played the girlfriend of one of the young drug dealers, who had been smoking pot all day and was in a state of confusion. Nothing could be done but lie on the couch and be helped wherever she went. Of course, the characters, while seemingly useless, still perform very surprisingly when the situation is critical.

Though relatively simple, it takes a little performance, sitting on the sofa is not the way you should smoke marijuana, if you are not careful, continuity ng is a certainty for newcomers, let alone Adrian in charge of the conductor.

“Tell me, Miss Bezinsa, tell me, do you really look like a man who smokes weed? Are you sure you smoked too much marijuana instead of suddenly severing the callus in the middle of your brain?” Asked relentlessly when Adriatic settled in after shouting “cut”.

“I...” Katherine on the set shut her mouth with just one word, a situation that has been repeated more than a dozen times, even the fool knows he's targeting her.

“Remember how many times I told you, Miss Bechenza?” Adrian continues to sarcastically say, "Feel the character with all your heart and express it in body language! How many times have you wasted so far?! But you've barely improved a bit, to be honest, if not explicitly prohibited by law, I really want you to really smoke weed into that state! ”

The whole scene was quiet, only Adrian's words echoed in it, and Dennis, who usually came out to play in circles, remained silent because he knew why Adrian did it. Quite frankly, the director's authority is a question. Even if Adrian is the boss and the producer is the director, he is still a newcomer, and if he can't quickly build his own prestige, there will be trouble. This was almost done, but this Catherine... But Miss Bezinsa burst into the face of the challenge and almost got things out of control. From where she lost it, she had to be retrieved. Adrian had, of course, unnecessarily opened her knife.

Fortunately, Adrian, though very unhappy, kept a certain amount of weight, and finally stopped after a few more sentences, to see if the time had come to announce the end of today's shoot.

At last, Katherine, whose voices rang and her head was still silent, let go of her clenched fist and looked at Adrian with disgust, silently helping to pack her things.
