Every director must have his authority in the studio. Even if the commercial movie has the final say of the investor, unless the producer is an idiot or the director is too arrogant, the producer will carefully guard the director's authority in the studio. Because it is related to whether the film can be successfully completed. If the director can not command with his hands, it will be a disaster for any film in production.
Every director has his own way to declare his authority. For example, James Cameron, who hasn't started filming Terminator 2, likes to yell and drink on the set. Therefore, he is called a film tyrant in private. But it's certainly not the way Adrian wants to be. He prefers to use his quick speed to make people who make mistakes useless.
It's just that this method is more suitable for people who have worked with him for a long time. Only when they have experience can they know when and what to do. Now these staff members are called together temporarily. Once the words are heavy, they may have adverse effects. At this time, a person needs to come out to play the role of red face, and that's exactly what Dennis plays.
I have to admit, Dennis is is a good guy. Adrian didn't take these into account when he first started to sneer. But Dennis took the topic in time and comforted others with skill. After that, every time someone had a problem, one person ridiculed or lost his temper, and the other person would surely persuade and comfort him. Besides, he cooperated very well. No one could see that except a few employees of the film company.
"You know, a job like a waiter must be observant, and there is a set of established procedures for dealing with guests' dissatisfaction. You must follow his words and wait for his emotions to calm down before distinguishing." Dennis explained.
In this way, Adrian has more affection for this guy, and it seems that he can be considered to hold him up. But this is not the time to talk about it. He has more important things to deal with.
"Joseph! Where have you been? Where is the man I want Adrian exclaimed, exasperated, and soon a slightly gasping voice came: "I'm coming, Mr. Adrian, I'm coming."
The thin figure came in a hurry, followed by a young girl about 20 years old, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, and looking around curiously as he walked.
"I I've found the man you want, Mr. Adrian. "Joseph rubbed his sweaty forehead and pulled it over the young girl, who was about to introduce him," this is... "
"This is the actor I need, Joseph? Is this what I need? " Adrian glanced at the girl and then asked in a subdued voice, "do you know what kind of actor I need, Joseph?"?! Look at her. Look at her! What I need is a thin, sickly girl who doesn't seem to be on my mind. But what are you looking for? A messy short hair, basically did not take care of, don't tell me, she is actually a man
"Ah Mr. Adrian, I can explain... " Said Joseph in a hurry, waving his hands.
"There's nothing to explain, Joseph. How many times have you thought of this?" Adrian looked at him sternly. "Not to mention the things before, the actress had been discussed a few days ago - even if there were not many scenes of this character - but you have been dragging it till now! Do you think you can finish the task if you pull a person in the street? "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian, I'm just..." The poor assistant seemed to be crying.
"Excuse me, Mr. director. May I have a word?" A clear voice came in, with a melodious English accent, but the speaker was sullen.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'm not going to find someone who has no experience in this role. If you just want to have a try with curiosity, please come back." Adrian said mercilessly.
"I have to say, you don't have any Gentlemanliness, Mr. director!" The girl's tone was sarcastic. "I don't want to mention the previous slander about my gender. I really want to know how you conclude that I have no experience?"
Adrian's throat rolled slightly under the gaze of his bright brown eyes, but he certainly would not admit his mistake at this time. He quickly settled down and asked, "how can you prove that you have experience, miss?"
"Yes, I admit it was pulled from the street by Mr. Joseph, but that doesn't mean anything. My father and mother were excellent actors and famous. I was born in a performing arts family, and I played many roles in the school drama company - of course, you don't need to know that, Mr. director. "
There was a low laugh around him, and it didn't stop until Adrian glanced at them. Adrian wanted to retort, but the girl in front of him didn't give him a chance: "but" you "will say that no matter your parents are actors or have played roles in the school drama troupe, it can't explain anything either. After all, drama and film are two different things, and there are differences between theory and practice. But the problem is - you don't even give the chance to try, so why Do you casually deny that a person has no ability? Oh, yes, you have the right, even at the expense of justice and fairness. "Adrian's face was a little blue. He didn't expect that the sharp toothed girl would dare to speak to him like this in public. He had a hard time Well, there seems to be no other candidate at present, so you will know what is fair and fair!
"Vergil, come and make her up and try two shots." After staring at the girl for a long time without saying a word, Adrian turned to the makeup artist in the distance.
The young girl was obviously relieved, but then raised her chin again as Adrian's eyes turned. Unfortunately, Adrian's eyes did not stop on her, but walked towards the camera. The girl curled her mouth, waved her fist to Adrian's back, and followed Joseph to make up.
"Well, you've got the part now --" Adrian looked at the signature on the contract. "Miss Catherine becenza, I believe Joseph has told you about it. I think you should have no problem?"
"Yes, Mr. Director I'll try to be the best I can be. " The girl named Catherine wanted to ask Adrian's name, but seeing his expressionless face, she dismissed the idea, and then, as if a child had deliberately demonstrated her well-developed breast: "you won't regret it, sir."
"I hope so." Adrian replied briefly, then turned to command the others, ready to shoot the rest in one breath. The girl shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more. She found a place to sit down and read her own thin script. She did not see the sneer on Adrian's mouth.
After the staff set up the scene of the young drug dealers' dens, Adrian manipulated the camera to take a few simple shots, and then gradually let go, speeding up the pace. After a few uncomplicated scenes, it was Miss Catherine's turn to play.
As the only female character in the whole film, she does not have many parts. If she plays well, she can finish shooting in three days at most. Katherine plays the girl friend of one of those young drug dealers. She has been smoking marijuana and is in a state of confusion all day. She can't do anything but lie on the sofa and be helped wherever she goes. Of course, although the role seems useless, it can be very surprising when the situation is critical.
Although it is relatively simple, it still needs some performance skills to perform well. Sitting on the sofa is not like smoking marijuana and getting delirious. If you are not careful, the continuous ng is a positive thing for the new people. Moreover, Adrian, who is in charge of the guide tube, has no intention.
"Tell me, miss bechenza, and tell me, do you really look like a marijuana junkie? Are you sure you're smoking too much marijuana and not because the corpus callosum in the middle of your brain is suddenly cut off? " After shouting "cut", Adrian asked mercilessly as he settled down.
"I..." Katherine on the set said only one word and then shut her mouth. This situation has happened more than ten times. Even a fool knows that he is targeting her.
"Remember how many times I told you, miss bechenza?" Adrian continued sarcastically, "feel the character's feelings with your heart and express them with body language! How many times have you wasted so many films?! But you have hardly improved. To tell you the truth, if it is not prohibited by law, I really want you to really smoke marijuana to that state! "
The whole set is quiet, and only Adrian's words reverberate in it. Dennis, who usually comes out to play, is silent, because he knows why Adrian does this. To put it bluntly, it's still the director's authority. Even if Adrian is the boss, the producer and the director, after all, he is still a newcomer. If he can't quickly establish his own prestige, there will be problems. It was almost done, but this Miss Catherine bechenza burst into her face-to-face challenge, which almost made the matter out of control. Wherever it was lost, it would be taken back from where it was lost. Adrian naturally cut her down.
Fortunately, although Adrian was very unhappy, he still kept a certain sense of propriety. After counting down a few words, Adrian finally stopped, looked at the time and announced that today's shooting was over.
For a moment, all kinds of voices began to ring, and Catherine, who hung her head and remained silent, finally loosened her tight fists, gave Adrian a look of hatred in secret, and quietly helped to pack up her things.
