Universal Pictures shooting base.
The scene of the film "King Scorpion".
"You can't kill me!"
"No one in the world can kill me! Why? Because I am in hell
"I'm... Scorpion King!"
The Scorpion King, played by Jushi Johnson, looks down at all the opponents with arrogant and uninhibited domineering spirit.
His just right burly figure, even if not much acting skills, will also restore the Scorpion King to a very high.
"Ka ~"
With the order of director chuck Russell, the shooting ended.
"Director, do you need another one?"
Johnson, who has a burly appearance, is a little cute and modest at the moment, forming a strong contrast.
Director chuck Russell waved his hand, looked at him with an appreciative eye and said, "no, you have a very good performance. Johnson, you need to be more confident in the future. Although you are not a professional actor and your acting skills are a little immature, I believe you will succeed in Hollywood. "
"Thank you director, I will work harder in the future!" Johnson said quickly.
He is still so modest.
This is not only beneficial to the director chuck Russell, but also to the whole group of Scorpion King, many people have a good impression on this modest young man.
"Everybody take a break and shoot the next picture in 20 minutes."
The director Russell called out.
The deputy director, the production team, the props team, and the leaders of the set team all responded.
In Hollywood, the vast majority of directors are just the tools of the crew.
You have to shoot as the producer tells you to.
Especially the script!
In the industrialization mode of Hollywood, before a film enters the shooting cycle, the script will be finalized. Once the script is finalized, the director of the crew has no right to make any changes. It's almost impossible to change the script in the middle of shooting.
"Director, what's the matter?" Johnson asked suddenly.
"Eh?"
Hearing the speech, the director Russell was immediately stunned, and immediately said: "before the script of scorpion king was finalized, I wanted to modify some of its paragraphs, but they were all rejected. I believe our film will be better after my modification, but... You know the result."
What's the result?
Of course, it's impossible to change the script!
Once the script is adapted, Universal Pictures, as the producer, will pay an extra $1 million to $2 million.
Suddenly, Johnson suddenly said: "director, are you sure the script will be better after your modification?"
"Of course!"
Director Russell blurted out.
As the director of the film "the disguised geek", he has a strong self-confidence.
Johnson hesitated for a few seconds and said, "if, I say if, can I persuade Mr. James Jakes to agree to change 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 - don't believe it.
This feeling of being questioned makes Johnson a little uncomfortable.
......
Lunch break.
Here comes James Jakes, the producer of Scorpion King.
"What?"
Jakes flew into a rage: "do you suggest that I revise the script that has been finalized? You still think I'll promise you? You're kidding
Johnson: "and
Johnson is a little confused at the moment.
In his impression, producer James Jakes is a gentle person. His speech is always pleasant, and Jakes has always taken care of her, otherwise he would not be the hero of the Scorpion King movie.
Before and after the attitude... Huge difference!
After being slightly stunned, Johnson continued to say: "Mr. Jacques, I really think what director Russell said is reasonable. His revised script is really better than the original script. I think..."
"Shut up
Johnson's words had not yet spoken, but was interrupted by the furious producer Jakes.
And, at the moment, Jakes is surprisingly angry!
It's like a completely erupting volcano.
"Who do you think you are?"
"It took five months to prepare for the movie" king of scorpions ". It took more than two months to finish the script. It took a lot of manpower and material resources. Now you're trying to persuade me to revise the script. Do you think it's possible?"
"Do you compensate for the millions of dollars lost before and after the revision of the script?"
"Remember, you're just an actor!"
"No, I'm wrong. You're just a lucky guy."
"Do you think you would be the hero of scorpion king without me? Set your position for me, OK? "
Machine gun language, jet out.
Producer Jakes' words, like a knife, stabbed Johnson's heart.
“......”
Johnson's mouth moved, but he didn't dare to refute.
At this moment, Johnson didn't understand.
He doesn't understand why producer Jacques is so angry. Even if he proposes to revise the script, isn't he going to point his nose at him?
Why?
Why is he so angry?
Is it really because of my transgression?
Johnson is a smart man. He's thinking about everything right now.
In fact, the reason why producer Jakes is so angry is that he was rejected by his classmates at the trial meeting of Lord of the rings a few days ago.
Not only did he get hurt, but also completely ignored him!
This in the heart a fire have no place to vent of Jakes, atmosphere huge stone Johnson oneself bump up, he certainly won't give good facial expression.
"Director Russell, did you ask Johnson to come to me to revise the script?" Jakes questions the director.
Hearing this, Russell immediately replied, "you misunderstood me. How could I ask so much. I'm a senior director. Of course, I know that once the script is finalized, there is no possibility of revising it again. "
Jakes nodded and said nothing more.
However, he subconsciously glanced at the nearby rock Johnson, his eyes highlighted a disgust, um, the kind of undisguised.
Johnson was immediately excited.
After the producer Jakes left, Johnson walked up to the director Russell angrily and asked, "director, why don't you tell the truth?"
"Hum!"
"Are you asking me?" Russell snorted? So, in what capacity do you question me? Are you a director, a producer, or an investor? If not, please shut your mouth
"You
When Johnson was angry, he felt that human nature was so complex and changeable for the first time.
You know, in the past, whether it's producer Jacques, or director Russell, including most people in the whole crew, are very appreciative of him.
But... Now?
Sad!
Endless sadness!
Johnson doesn't feel good all over the place.
"Take it easy. Hollywood is like this." Johnson's uncle Bach came to comfort him.
Johnson nodded stiffly.
Once again, something called regret sprang up in his mind.
Once upon a time, when he was in the film crew invested by Wald pictures, although he was not No. 1 or No. 2, he stayed there quite well, at least without so many intrigues.
"Uncle, I really shouldn't have left..."
Johnson gritted his teeth.
Bach sighed and said, "I know. I know everything. However, since you have chosen this road, there is no turning back. You can only move on, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and frustrations. "
Soon, the break was over.
The movie "Scorpion King" continues to be filmed.
However, just after shooting a few, Johnson was severely scolded by the director.
"Shit!"
"Are you a brown bear? What are you doing
"Can you still shoot, can't shoot, get out of here as soon as possible! You fool
