151. Chapter 151 Duality
"Hey, busy man, why are you free to come here today?" Sean greeted Drew half-jokingly. When he saw it before, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Why, as the producer of the movie, can't I come?" Drew asked in a dissatisfied tone, holding his arms.
"How could it be, you are a producer." Sean still looked joking, and when he talked about the word "producer", he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Although it has only been four days since the start of the filming, Drew, as a producer, has been here for the first time today. It is unreasonable. Even if he is very busy, at least he should come over to show off when the filming is turned on.
"I am also the producer of "Charlie's Angels". I can only come here after I finish the work there, right?" Drew glared at him, not expecting to pretend it was on purpose.
"So, are you going to join the crew? But I remember that there seems to be no arrangement for your scenes on the schedule." Sean changed the topic.
"How is it possible? I just finished "Charlie's Angels". Don't you need a rest? Do you know what it means to a woman to not have a good rest for a long time? Do you know how hard it is to work for 6 months in a row?" Drew rolled his eyes wide and spoke like a machine gun.
"Okay, I'll just ask casually." Sean smiled bitterly and raised his hands.
"Anyway, I don't have many scenes in "Detective Hallucination". Is there any problem with coming here after a half month?" Drew still chattered a little, then waved his hand, "Can we not talk about this?"
It seems you are talking nonstop. Sean said this in his heart, but he still looked smiling on the surface, and immediately spread his hands: "Okay, then what are you talking about?"
Then there was a minute of silence. Drew blinked and opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. After glaring like this for a while, she coughed awkwardly: "Well... you did a pretty good job. Richard said you are easy to get along with and your acting skills are also very good."
"Since you recommended me, of course I have to let people know that your vision will not be wrong." Sean shrugged.
"Of course my eyes can't be wrong," Drew's eyes lit up and his smile became charming, "No matter what aspect it is."
The body immediately approached a little: "You can talk as always, Sean."
"No praise for the beautiful lady is too much." Sean smiled slightly, then glanced around with his eyes.
Drew would come to see it immediately. Although not many people were looking here, she still came to open a little, but the smile on her face did not diminish: "Talk, we have never met after you left the crew of "Charlie's Angels". When will we come to my party again?"
She said as she pursed her bright red lips, not much of it, and even added: "Cami might be there too."
This woman...Shawn couldn't help but want to remind her that she has a boyfriend.
Of course, he didn't really ask. Isn't this a sign of turning aside? Moreover, when recalling the way she and Cameron ate bananas together, it feels very happy just thinking about it. No wonder many people like to blow the trumpet.
"I can." Sean replied.
"Okay, then I'll go somewhere else to check it out. Am I a producer?" Drew giggled, but stopped after taking two steps, and turned around and looked at him with an ambiguous look: "By the way, Sean, I want to remind you that Gina Marlon is only 15 years old now, so you'd better not make any decisions about her."
"Why, I look like that kind of person. Do you think of going to bed when you see a girl?" Sean looked like he was hit hard.
"Not exactly, but not exactly." Drew smiled meaningfully, "You are good at coaxing women and are also very attractive to women. As long as the other person has feelings for you, you may take advantage of the situation."
"It sounds like I'm a playboy." Sean said calmly.
"Not exactly, but not exactly." Drew, whose eyes were crescent, repeated his previous words, then waved his hand and left, "Okay, I'll go somewhere else to check it out, and discuss with Loyola High School about borrowing their school."
Looking at Drew leaving, Sean couldn't help grinding his teeth. It should be said that the intuition of experienced women is indeed more sensitive? Well, no matter what, although he is indeed a little interested in Gina Marlon, after all, he is indeed a very pretty girl, but he will not tease her in a daze. Drew is right. She is only 15 years old and will not turn 16 until November this year. Even so, it is impossible in California.
It is probably because there are too many lights and wine here, which can easily attract some young women to do things they shouldn't do, so the legal age for sex is 18. If Sean was not an adult, he might have been a little looser, but it is basically impossible now.
After this little episode, the filming continued. Although Sean came up with ways to frequently change his expressions to cover up his mature temperament, he did not relax much. On the one hand, there were many shots that maintained an expression, and on the other hand, only he could be considered the absolute protagonist in this movie.
This should have been a good training opportunity. Although Sean is also the first protagonist in "The Genius Ripley", Mingla's shots are not completely directed at him. Jude, Hoffman, Gwyneth and Kate have excellent pictures. Kelly is definitely not as good as Mingla in this regard. Although his control over shooting is stronger than James Huang, the director of "The God of Death", and there are several good assistant directors and director assistants, so he puts his perspective on Sean and completely pushes the story.
At the same time, Kelly gave Sean a lot of freedom to let him play his part, so he could think of that method before. But everything has two sides. Although Sean can play his part, he doesn't need to think too much - he has temporarily abandoned the idea of the fusion method and the technical school, and is dedicated to thinking about how to convey the character's emotions to the audience, so he is more flexible and changeable.
The problem is that as the filming deepened, it made him a little difficult to perform. Although Kelly's control over the movie was higher than Huang, it was far inferior to Mingla, and Sean had no opponents, so this happened now.
Not to mention the scene where Hoffman crushed Sean in "The Genius Ripley" and the bathroom scene with Jude, it was precisely because of the other party's outstanding performance that aroused Sean's fighting spirit and finally became particularly exciting. However, in "The Hallucination of Death", several pretty good old actors have few scenes with him, while young people, such as Gina, have some acting skills but lack experience, which is not enough to make him ignite his fighting spirit and surpass himself.
In this case, if you are like James Huang, you have to ask him to control yourself and cooperate with the filming because it is not easy to control Sean, which will be very helpful for the production of the film. But Kelly is not enough to completely control Sean, but puts the main perspective on him, giving him a lot of room to play, which makes him at a loss.
"The smile should be weird, Sean, as long as it can reflect the strange feeling." Kelly said his request again and again, "This is very simple, isn't it? Hold on, this is on the highway. We can't block the section of the road for too long. If we miss it, we have to apply again."
"Calm down, Richard, I get it. I will find a way to adjust it, and it will be fine soon." Sean had to comfort him.
"As a director, he doesn't even have half the calmness of you. No wonder he can't find an investor after the script is written." Sanders, who handed Sean's pure water, whispered.
"Don't say that, he just wants to complete today's shooting as soon as possible, after all, the funds are limited." Sean shrugged.
"After knowing the Hollywood-style ledger trick, do you think I still believe in limited funds?" Sanders shook his head. "They will also seek tax cuts everywhere. It seems that there is an investment of 4.5 million, but in fact, only two-thirds of it are actually invested in the production."
"That can't be wasted, right?" Sean laughed, drinking water. "You said, you should naturally be more cautious when choosing to invest only two-thirds of the funds."
Sanders rolled his eyes without saying anything.
"And they were basically filmed in Los Angeles. At most, there are some exemptions at Loyola High School, which is still in contact with, but not necessarily in other places - of course, I am not a professional, so I can't be completely sure." Sean said with a smile.
"Okay, then you can beat him slowly." Sanders left this sentence and walked away.
Sean shook his head with a chuckle. After learning the concept of Hollywood-style books from him, Sanders, as his quasi-agent, immediately began to collect relevant information. Although Frederick often had to confront him, he still helped a lot in this regard. Although he might not have figured it out completely, he also found something useful in addition to Sean's popular science.
For example, when large studios and large film companies produce high-cost movies, they usually have two books on the account, one is used to publish it to the public, and the other is for investors to read.
The investment numbers in the previous book are naturally often seen in various media, magazines or related websites. Many times, people in the circle will mention this number when communicating; while the number behind is for investors, which is a number that deducts various reductions and whispers to the public.
For example, in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the new line claims to have raised nearly 300 million yuan, each investing about 97 million yuan, but in fact, due to New Zealand's various exemption policies, the cost of the movie - at least the cost of post-digital production - is definitely not as many as the open account books.
