Chapter 139 Change roles
After entering November, after more than two months of preparation, the crew of "Scream" officially started. After trying out the completed part of "Killer Leon", Ryan came to talk to David Finch and talked about something and checked out the filming of the movie.
This movie is considered to be a Jenkins Pictures production, although it has a portion of Drew Barrymore's investment.
Moreover, this guy called him several times and was said to have to change his role to play.
The crew selected the location in Sonoma County, renting a community event center in a remote satellite city to serve as the main location and crew residence for the film.
Originally, David Fincher had a fancy to a middle school in Los Angeles as an outdoor location. The school heard that a film crew wanted to shoot on campus or Ryan's work, so he reached an oral agreement very happily.
The reason is very simple. First, you can get a considerable rental fee, and second, this is Ryan Jenkins' work, which can use the hot film promotion school to increase your popularity and gain more students.
Of course, the school is not a fool, and he made the request to read the script first. After reading the script, the violent thriller and satirical content immediately aroused their dissatisfaction. Think about it, when the movie was released, serial killers appeared in their school buildings, what impact would that have on the students in school.
So, David Finch's plan failed, and Julius Stewart also suggested filming in Canada because it would save money. However, in the end, he chose this small town in California.
The budget for the movie is only eight million US dollars, so naturally I can't hire famous actors, except for Drew Barrymore, all newcomers are used. As a campus youth horror film, in addition to the necessary acting skills, most of these young people are handsome and beautiful, much better than the group of crooked jujubes in their previous lives.
"cut! After that, take a half hour off!"
After shouting, the director stood up from behind the camera. There was still a hint of gloom between David Finch's eyebrows. Obviously, the failure of "Alien 3" caused him to suffer some blows, although his responsibility was not too great.
"Hi, David, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ryan walked over and shook his hand.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you have grown a lot... Ha, it won't take long to catch up with me."
Finch looked over and Ryan could read the emotion in his eyes. No matter what, he was the other person who watched him grow up.
"Is the shooting going smoothly?" Ryan asked.
"not bad."
Ryan smiled. You should know that under his instructions, Julius gave the other party the greatest authority, which would naturally make Finch, who was restrained everywhere in the crew of "Alien 3", feel relaxed and happy, and can make him show his strength.
If he could make such a script like "Fight Club", even if he would lose money, Ryan would admit it.
Of course, this is just a joke. David Finch just experienced a painful business failure and must be eager to win back his reputation.
The two chatted a few more times, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the movie. To be honest, David Fincher had a unique understanding of the movie. Ryan could hear something from his words, but Hollywood is realistic. If you want to turn your ideas into a work, you must give investors confidence.
There is no doubt that David Finch is on this road.
Then Ryan talked about the purpose of this. He wanted David Finch to take charge of the MV guide of "The Cup of Life", otherwise he would not have come here for a special trip.
David Finch just thought for a moment and agreed. After all, Ryan came to invite him in person, giving him enough face.
"Ryan, you finally want to come to see me."
When Ryan heard the sound coming from the other side, he didn't have to look at it, and he knew it was Drew's guy.
"Stop! Drew, it's better for us to keep a little distance."
Seeing the other party smiling, Ryan stopped her from leaning over with a harsh manner. He was here to find David Finch, not to see her.
"Oh, Ryan, you're so sad for me."
"Shut up, Drew!" Ryan glared at her, and Drew had to put away his somewhat wind-smudged look, "Drew, I haven't settled the score with you for the last time!"
"How can I blame me..." Drew showed a timid look, and his acting skills were really good.
"I don't blame anyone, can I blame myself?"
Seeing that the crew was about to turn on again, Ryan had to lower his voice and headed towards the secluded place, "Is it OK to calm down in front of me in the future, Miss Barrymore?"
"Okay, okay." Drew nodded with his lips, but his eyes were rolling around, not knowing what he was trying to do.
The event center where the film is located is closed, and it is difficult for paparazzi to come in, but Ryan still keeps a distance from Drew, and God knows when this guy will become unscrupulous again.
"You said on the phone that you changed a character?" In order not to affect the crew's shooting, Ryan tried to lower his voice.
"Yes." Drew said with a smile, "I have invested so much money in this movie, of course I have to make sure it can be sold."
Ryan didn't say anything, but made a continued gesture, and he could roughly guess which character the other party would change to.
"I discussed with Director Finch and Ms. Stewart that if I could be killed ten minutes before the opening, the audience would be shocked. The movie could also attract more people's attention, and I think this would lead to higher box office."
Speaking of serious business, business and investment, Drew no longer laughed, serious and serious. Obviously, this decision was carefully considered.
The common surname of the historical wheel is really huge! Ryan can only feel this way. He made this movie a few years in advance, but he didn't expect it to start self-correction.
By the way! The heroine is not the same Canadian woman, right? Her starry sky looks very unhappy in her previous life.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Drew raised his chin, "What's my mind?"
"The filming has started, what else can I say?" Ryan rolled his eyes. Anyway, he gave the power to David Finch and Julis Stewart. Besides, this decision was of great benefit to the film.
But then again, Drew Barrymore was able to become a famous female producer and female boss later, and he was indeed a bit smart. The most highly praised of this movie in his previous life was the scene where Drew was killed at the beginning.
None of the women who can become famous are simple-minded idiots. Even if there are idiots, there are either people who praise them or come from a famous performing arts family.
"Which heroine has changed to now?"
Ryan watched several young people on the set. They were filming a group scene, and they couldn't tell the main and secondary for the time being, but why did one look so familiar?
"Here, that's that one." Drew pointed to one of them.
He was a blonde woman. Just looking at her figure, she was somewhat similar to Nicole. She was tall and slender. Even if she was a distance, she could see that her face was very delicate, at least she was much more beautiful than the one around him.
Looking at the familiar face, Ryan turned his head and thought to himself that I could not have admitted my mistake, right? She probably hasn't made her debut yet.
"The heroine you came from **?" Ryan was a little surprised.
"Casting director." Drew shrugged indifferently, "It is said that she came to Los Angeles from New York to play. She happened to meet the casting director on the Avenue of Stars, so she participated in the audition, and then got the role."
Ryan roughly understood what was going on. In fact, Hollywood is performing such a drama every day. Girls from all over the world dress up beautifully, wandering back and forth on the Avenue of Stars, hoping that opportunities will fall from the sky and embark on the road to fame.
There are a very small number of lucky people who will be selected by some agents or crew to get opportunities. Some people who are very lucky may become famous in one go.
This kind of opportunity is few and few. Most girls only meet liars. People with even more miserable fate will enter the San Fernando Valley in a different direction and sink from then on through the sweet words of some people.
Some naive girls think that it will be the back door to Hollywood, but that is absolutely impossible. Even though both sides are film and television industries, there is a world of difference.
"Do you know her?"
Seeing Ryan looking at the blonde girl with curious eyes, Drew's thoughts began to be crooked, "Will it not..."
"Shut up, Drew!" Ryan knew that he could not give this guy a good look, so he glared at her fiercely.
Sure enough, Drew Barrymore shrugged his nose and closed his mouth obediently.
What is being filmed is all about lifelike scenes, the heroine Sidney’s life in school, her boyfriend, etc. Most of the scenes in the movie are filmed at night.
Since the killer's set of grimace masks involved copyright, Ryan asked Julius to purchase the copyright when creating the script, so he would not have to consider this issue for at least twenty years.
"Let's go, Ryan, I'll take you to meet the crew members. There are many people here who are your fans."
After David Fincher stopped again, Drew came over with a slightly flattering voice.
"Oh well."
Ryan followed Drew toward the actor's rest area.
Looking at the people Drew introduced to him one by one, these names were quite strange, Ryan was sure that there should be no such person as the famous man.
Of course, there is one exception.
"Hello, my name is Charlize Theron, from New York, I'm happy to know you, Ryan, can I call you that?" The blonde girl was generous, "Ryan, you can call me Charlee."
"It's also great to know you, Miss Theron." Ryan shook her hand gently.
Like other actors, Ryan simply greeted him, although he was sure that the other party should be a South African Diamond. (To be continued.)
