Chapter 234: Michael Ovitz Strikes

At the end of Christmas, the crew gathered in Los Angeles to continue filming, and John chose the school scene in the movie to be filmed at UCLA for convenience.

However, when he took the crew members into the tense filming at the school, in the CAA building not far from the filming location, Michael Ovitz and Harvey Wienstein were sitting together and drinking red wine.

"Michael, I think we can do it, and the filming of Chris Deng's film is coming to an end. Harvey Vines looked at Michael Ovitz on the side, shook the wine glass in his hand and said.

He and Michael Ovitz had made a move before John made the film, and now it was time to implement it.

"Yes. ”

Michael Ovitz thought about it and nodded, he also felt that the time had come, and any later idle chess would become stinky chess.

"Then call Johnny Depp and tell him it's okay to act. Michael Ovitz finished with a sneer on his face.

"Good. ”

Harvey Wienstein, who was on the side, looked at Michael Ovitz's sneer, and became excited, and after drinking the red wine in the wine glass in one gulp, he immediately stood up and walked to the phone and dialed Johnny Depp.

After the phone rang three times, Harvey Wienstein hung up the phone with a simple command, sat back in front of Michael Ovitz proudly, and said with a slight smile. "That's it, let's wait and watch the show!"

"Yes. ”

Michael Ovitz clenched his fists with a sneer, and his eyes revealed a gloomy coldness.

This time, he's going to take a draw from the bottom of the pot and give John a big move to see how John copes.

At UCLA, John directs the crew with a megaphone, unaware that Michael Ovitz and Harvey Wienstein have dug a hole for themselves.

"Carlos, wait for you to drive your car here and stop. ”

John pointed to the open space in front of him and looked at the small supporting character in front of him. "After the car stops, you want to kiss Winona in the car, but when you want to take a step closer, Winona refuses, and then you use force, and then Tom Hanks runs to open the car door and gives you a few punches, until Winona pulls Tom Hanks away, you get out of the car and curse, and then push Winona away and drive away, understand?"

"Understood, Director. Carlos nodded, with a look of excitement, he has been in Hollywood for many years, but this is the first time he has participated in such a big-budget movie, so he is very excited.

This is also because he is a signed actor of ICM, so he will get a role in "Forrest Gump" that can show his face and have two or three lines, otherwise he will not be able to take his turn at all.

"Remember, don't really be rough in the car, or it's not Tom Hanks who will beat you up. John warned, glancing at Carlos in front of him.

Winona Ryder at this time is prone to crime, and John is afraid that this young supporting character will not be able to control himself.

"I understand, director. Carlos nodded solemnly. John understood that male actors take advantage of actresses when filming, which often happens in Hollywood, especially in the independent film industry. But Carlos never dared to take advantage of Winona Ryder, Winona Ryder's coffee position is much higher than him, so it is not good for him to have an argument with Winona Ryder in the crew, because the crew can replace Winona Ryder for Winona Ryder at any time, and it is impossible to replace Winona Ryder for him.

After telling Carlos, John then told Tom Hanks and Winona Ryder to play the game. The difficulty of this scene is not very great, the key is to wear a single coat in the rain in low temperature weather, which tests the will of an actor.

"John, we're running out of time, we need to get it on as soon as possible. Sophia sent the head of the school away, then walked up to John and reminded him. "We had to finish filming by half past ten. ”

"Okay, I got it. John understands that the school can lend space for them to shoot films, but it will never interfere with the students' schedules.

After asking the heads of various departments of the crew, and after everything was ready, John took the megaphone and shouted to turn it on.

Under the control of the crew, the sprinkler truck on the side began to spray water into the sky, making artificial rain fall in the open space in front of the dormitory building.

In the shot, Forrest Gump sat in front of the dormitory building waiting for Jenny, a car suddenly came to the dormitory building at this time and stopped, Jenny and her boyfriend in the car kissed fiercely, and her boyfriend's actions gradually became a little rough in the depths of her love, which made Jenny feel some pain, Forrest Gump in the distance mistakenly thought that Jenny was hurt, so he ran to the front of the car and pulled the car door, and beat Jenny's boyfriend fiercely, until Jenny got out of the car and pulled him away.

Then Jenny's boyfriend angrily pushed Jenny away and drove away, watching her boyfriend leave, Jenny angrily took the chocolate from Forrest Gump's hand, and finally pulled Forrest Gump into his dormitory with some helplessness.

“cut......”

"Very good......

"We're here for a ......"

John stood up from behind the monitor with a megaphone, this one was a great shot just now, but he still wanted to shoot again, the same scene will get a different shot every time, and these small differences have a different beauty in the eyes of professionals.

Just like when a photographer takes a photo, even if it's a dead object, they usually take a dozen shots in a row, and then choose the one they think is the most suitable.

The reason why it is necessary to shoot so many times for a dead object is because the shutter pressed in the last second and the shutter pressed in the next second have the existence of time, so they become alive.

I really don't understand why after saying "cut, it's good", all the directors will finally say "let's do it again". Winona Ryder pursed her lips, took the towel from her assistant's hand, and wiped the drops of water from her face.

"Maybe it's the director's favorite!" the assistant carefully put on a bath towel for Winona Ryder as he spoke.

"Hmph, if I get sick and catch a cold, I'll blame the director. Winona Ryder said, puffing out her cheeks and looking at John in the distance.

The little assistant on the side looked at Winona Ryder's puffed cheeks and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, because he knew that Winona Ryder didn't really complain about John, but just wanted to go back and call Johnny Depp early.

Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp have a good relationship, and they basically talk on the phone every night, and like those ordinary young couples who live apart, they also need to rely on the phone to relieve their thoughts.
