Chapter 561
Rosario in Baja California is famous as the shooting location for James Cameron to shoot "Titanic". After the shooting of the big ship, various shooting facilities such as artificial lakes and studios that James Cameron spent a lot of money to build were preserved. In addition, some infrastructure that was later added, around the artificial lakes as the center, Rosario gradually became a Hollywood water shooting center.
There is still a legend here that James Cameron spent 60 million dollars to build a large ship model, and after shooting, the model could only sell scraps and recover hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With more and more Hollywood crews coming to Rosario, various supporting facilities emerged, including star-rated hotels.
In Rosario's most luxurious hotel, Jessica Felton and director Gore Vipensky walked into the crew's conference room and saw the pale Johnny Depp and his agent Tracy Jacob.
"Hello, Director Wibinsky." Tracy Jacob had not dealt with Jessica Felton for many times, and was the first to shake hands with Gore Wibinsky, and then gently shook hands with Jessica Felton: "Hello, Miss Felton."
Jessica Felton and director Gore Vipensky responded politely.
Gore Vibinsky left the chair and sat opposite Johnny Depp and his agent Tracy Jacob, then looked at Jessica Felton.
Today's events will definitely focus on producer Jessica Felton.
Although the two had exchanged opinions before coming, Gore Wibinsky was still a little worried that Jessica Felton could not handle it well, and the crew might have a huge trouble.
Such things are difficult to deal with, and weak compromise will only make celebrity actors more aggressive; being too tough may lead to sharp conflicts between the two sides and become irreconcilable.
Captain Johnny Depp is too important to the series. To put it too exaggeratedly, one person may be enough to determine the success or failure of the film.
Gore Vibinsky felt that even Ronan Anderson would have a headache when facing this situation.
Johnny Depp sat on the sofa chair with pale face, his eyes drooping, and his eyes were dull, as if he was still silent in his own world, without the intention of saying hello to Jessica Felton and Gore Vipensky.
It seems that his wine has not yet woken up and he is still a little drunk.
It's so troublesome to encounter such an actor.
But the crew cannot wait for him for a long time. Every time the crew delays for a day, the crew's various expenses are more than one million dollars.
Jessica Felton's delicate wheat-colored skin was tight, and her keen sense of smell captured the faint smell of wine, which was from Johnny Depp.
How much wine did you drink yesterday? It didn’t completely fall apart after a day!
In the eyes of dedicated technical crazes like Jessica Felton, actors like Johnny Depp are definitely not good actors.
A trace of indescribable disgust flashed in his heart, and Jessica Felton quickly adjusted his mind to avoid this emotion from affecting the subsequent negotiations.
Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, has been popular and can be regarded as the most important role in the series. The crew cannot be without him. This is a fact that has happened and she cannot change it.
Jessica Felton knew very well that Ronan had trusted her with such an important crew, not to let her break up the crew.
But this kind of thing must not happen again, otherwise it will affect the mentality of the entire crew.
Feeling the gaze that Gore Vibinsky cast, Jessica Felton did not hesitate. This was her duty and could not be pushed to others. She had to take full responsibility.
"Ms. Jacob, Mr. Depp." Jessica Felton said blankly: "I need an explanation for what happened yesterday."
Tracy Jacob looked at Johnny Depp and showed a formulaic smile: "Yesterday was an accident, and I apologized to the crew for Depp."
These words were light and as if yesterday's incident was no big deal.
Jessica Felton is a technical maniac. In the past, he has been dealing with various technologies more often. However, he has been a late producer for nearly two years and served as a producer for more than a month on the crew. He knows that he must be appropriately tough at this time. Once he retreats and is exposed lightly, with the professional qualities of an actor like Johnny Depp, perhaps God doesn't know what will happen next.
The last two films of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are set shots, and according to the plan, it may take another four to five months.
Jessica Felton said: "I need to know what happened at noon yesterday."
Tracy Jacob was also a little helpless. Johnny Depp was full of problems. He was still restrained when filming "The Curse of the Black Pearl", but after Captain Jack Sparrow became popular, some of the old problems that he had temporarily suppressed began to appear again.
But what can she do? As an agent, she can only maintain the client and said, "Dep was in a bad mood yesterday at noon. After filming in the morning, she went to have some wine."
Jessica Felton turned to Johnny Depp, who blinked his godless eyes and said casually: "It's probably that."
This attitude makes people very annoyed. Gore Vipensky thinks he has a good temper and almost can't help but slap the table.
Yesterday's shooting plan revolves around you as the center. I gave it a special explanation in the morning, but you are fine. After the filming in the morning, I got drunk and left the entire crew on the set.
Jessica Felton looked at Johnny Depp and said a little cold tone: "Mr. Depp, the contract you signed with the crew clearly stipulates that you must not drink alcohol during the crew's filming. Your behavior is breach of contract!"
Johnny Depp tilted his head and said something: "This is not a breach of contract. I was not in good shape yesterday. The character of Jack is very special. I need to drink some wine to find my condition. I accidentally drank too much."
Gore Vibinsky couldn't help it and said, "This is the fifth time you have been shooting!"
Even with the agent's cheeky face, Tracy Jacob was a little embarrassed, and Johnny Depp shrugged and seemed not to take it seriously.
Jessica Felton quietly waved his hand, and Gore Vipensky didn't say anything further.
"Two, according to the contract." Jessica Felton knew very well that the director had to work with the actors for a long time to shoot, and the conflicts should not be too sharp. She could only do the evil: "Mr. Depp breached the contract, and we have the right to deduct 60% of the second batch of pay."
Tracy Jacob's face looked ugly in an instant: "Miss Felton, this is just a small matter, please don't make a big deal."
Jessica Felton said: "This is also my idea." She shrugged slightly: "I don't want things to become uncontrollable either. Yesterday afternoon, the abnormality of the crew had been detected by the media. Now dozens of reporters were circling around the crew, wanting to find out what was going on. I have issued a ban on the crew and downplayed the matter as much as possible."
Tracy Jacob's face looked a little better. Of course, such things cannot be circulated outside the public, otherwise the media will report wildly, which will seriously affect Depp's reputation.
Jessica Felton glanced at Johnny Depp, who had no expression: "We have always had very good cooperation and are old friends with each other. I believe Mr. Depp will respect our contract in the future."
Johnny Depp said casually with a faint smell of alcohol: "I get it."
Tracy Jacob also continued: "We promise that we will try not to happen in the future."
Try to do what? Jessica Felton also had a fire that was about to rise out, and even her chest was bulging and getting bigger. With a tough attitude, she said: "I want to remind you that this is a very serious breach of contract!"
Johnny Depp looked up at Jessica Felton, and seemed a little angry. Jessica Felton faced his gaze without giving in at all.
Tracy Jacob must have stood on the side of the client: "Miss Felton, what else do you want us to do?"
Jessica Felton said bluntly: "It is guaranteed that there will be no next time. In addition, all the crew members waited so long yesterday, but because one person caused all preparations to be scrapped, they need an attitude, and Mr. Depp owe them an apology."
"I don't owe anyone anything." Johnny Depp made it clear.
Jessica Felton said: "Dep, if you're busy for a few hours and you're going to make all your work go away because of someone's reasons, do you think that person shouldn't be sorry to you?"
Tracy Jacob didn't want to have a frustration with the crew, so he could only look at Johnny Depp, who slumped on the sofa and still didn't care.
Having said that, Jessica Felton is sure that she can't reason with Johnny Depp. In order for the crew to work smoothly in the next few months, instead of frequent such bad things, she must show the tough attitude the producer should have.
All shooting plans were interrupted yesterday afternoon, and the crew lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Johnny Depp came a few more times, and the crew would invest additionally.
Judging from Johnny Depp's current attitude, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of such things in the future.
Johnny Depp is important, but the rest of the crew doesn't matter? If a balance between the two is not reached, there will still be problems with the shooting.
Not to mention the others, the other two protagonists, Kayla Knightley and Christian Bale, and director Gore Vibinsky, are already strangely angry at Johnny Depp's repeated turmoil.
There is a problem with these people, and the crew will not be able to operate either.
Gore Vipensky looked at Johnny Depp coldly. He had heard of some big-name star actors having various problems in the past, but most actors were quite serious and responsible in their work.
It is really rare to have a bad temper, a big stand and lack professional qualities.
No wonder everyone in the circle says that Johnny Depp is a weirdo, and this description is not unreasonable.
