Hearing Ronan's promise, David Fincher said directly: "I took this project." Mr. Anderson, you can have someone talk to my agent about a contract. ”

He had heard of Ronan's reputation, he had an excellent reputation in Hollywood, and he could be said to have a good reputation, and he made a promise now, and the chances of regretting it in the future were very low.

Besides, these will inevitably be reflected in the contract.

Ronan was happy, and David Fincher was unambiguous, and the two sides quickly came to an agreement.

The next specific matters will be discussed by Shahai Entertainment and David Fincher's agent.

David Fincher's director's salary is not low, Hollywood has clear standards, and generally a director's contract is easier to negotiate than an actor, and most directors don't have as many bizarre requirements as star actors.

A difficult star like Jennifer Lopez, not to mention her and the messy service staff from assistants to stylists to friends, even her pet cat, the crew has to hire two nannies to take care of them 24 hours a day.

Compared to many Hollywood stars, stars on the other side of the Pacific are still at the lower stage of playing big names.

The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which was filmed in Rosario, Baja California, encountered the dilemma of stars playing big names.

On the set of the artificial lake, the crew's preparations were just ready, as if someone had suddenly pulled the electric switch, so they could only stop temporarily, the actors in front of the screen, and the various types of workers behind the scenes, their faces were full of helplessness, and there was a trace of anger in their helplessness.

Keira Knightley stood on the wooden deck with her hands on her waist, spun around several times, and said to Christian Bale opposite, "Just him Johnny Depp? How many times has this been......?" Everyone was waiting for him. ”

Christian Bale spread his hands helplessly, the dissatisfaction on his face overflowing.

A skinny actor with only skin and bones stood on the mast against the scorching sun, and when he saw that he couldn't shoot, he quickly got off the mast.

Another pirate dressed as a cyclops leaned into his ear and muttered something he didn't know what he was talking about.

The head of the camera team, who is also the director of photography of the crew, Dariz Worski, saw that he could not shoot, so he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted a few words, and beckoned the filming boat back in the artificial lake.

The latest digital cameras are extremely demanding for the environment, and it is impossible to leave them in the sun for a long time.

The heads of the other behind-the-scenes departments all looked at director Gore Wibinski, who took the megaphone handed over by his assistant Charles Gibson and shouted: "The actors go back to the rest area to touch up their makeup, and the other departments will maintain the status quo except for the film crew!"

He put down the megaphone and yelled, "Can anyone tell me where that damn hero went!"

I didn't remove my makeup at the end of the morning shoot, and after the lunch break, Johnny Depp, who had touched up my makeup in the dressing room, came out and suddenly disappeared.

Assistant director Charles Gibson didn't know how to answer either.

Gore Verbinski roared: "He was still filming in the morning, why did he disappear after lunch?"

Not far away, assistant producer Craig Wood couldn't get through Johnny Depp's cell phone and quickly called producer Jessica Felton.

Jessica Felton, who was coordinating the crew with the Pacific Investment Foundation for a second investment, immediately rushed to the set and quickly learned the details from Craig Wood.

Jessica Felton has been in office for more than a month, and has adapted to the role of producer in charge of the crew, knowing that now is not the time to hesitate, as a producer, you must make a decision to deal with this unexpected situation quickly.

Strictly speaking, it is not an emergency, before she took office, in the actor Johnson Depp, there have been several similar situations.

Jessica Filton called Johnny Depp's cell phone again, but no one answered, and then called Johnny Depp's agent's mobile phone, and there was a busy sound.

"Clay, you immediately contact Johnny Depp's assistant or someone else close to you to determine Johnny Depp's location. Jessica Felton knows that this is Mexico, and while it is unlikely that anyone would dare to provoke the Hollywood crew casually, it cannot be ruled out: "If Johnny Depp's assistant can't reach him either, report to me immediately." ”

"Okay. Craig Wood didn't dare hesitate.

Jessica Felton said to another assistant: "Immediately mobilize the crew security to look for it on the set, don't let go of every corner, you go to the hotel in person to see if Johnny Depp has returned to the hotel." Be quick, report me anytime there's news. ”

The assistant did not dare to delay, and hurriedly beckoned the head of security to leave together.

Jessica Filton pulled her long loose hair into a ponytail and walked quickly to Gore Verbinski, who was calling, and Gore Verbinski immediately hung up the phone and nodded to Jessica Feldton.

"How's it going?" Jessica Felton pointed to Gore Verbinski's phone, "Did you contact Johnny Depp?"

Gore Verbinski said directly: "I just called Johnny Depp's agent, and the agent doesn't know where he went. He couldn't suppress his anger and rushed up: "Shit! He cooled the whole crew here! And is there a basic work ethic!"

The director, who is not bad-tempered, slapped the temporary office table in front of him one after another.

Jessica Felton soothed: "Gore, dissipate your anger, I've already sent someone to find it." ”

Although Jessica Felton was the producer who suddenly came in and came in out of nowhere, Gore Verbinski was very familiar with her, having worked together during the post-production of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

George Clint left the set, and as a director, he also thought there was no one better fit than Jessica Felton.

The only concern is that Jessica Felton is a woman, and it is not good to be a female producer.

But after more than a month, Gore Verbinski gradually dispelled his concerns, Jessica Felton's professional ability he has already seen, there is no doubt about it, the ability to deal with affairs has also been exercised when he was a post-producer, and he has a very high emotional intelligence, rarely rashly intervenes in specific shooting affairs, probably because of the relationship between the editor's background, and he knows how to leave professional work to professional people to handle.

The occasional contradictions that erupt from the crew are also handled properly, allowing the crew to operate on a normal trajectory.

Maintaining the normal operation of such a large crew is enough to prove the ability of the producer, some producers have big hearts and small abilities, but they will make a mess of the crew.

Jessica Felton has a big heart and a lot of ability.

The mobile phone rang, Gore Verbinski quickly connected, and after listening to a few words, hung up the phone and said to Jessica Felton: "Johnny Depp's agent can't reach him either." ”

The delicate mixed-race skin on Jessica Felton's face is a little dark, this kind of bad thing is the first time I have encountered it, and the sudden disappearance of the male protagonist from the crew is not a trivial matter.

If something happens, the crew's trouble is not big, but huge!

Jessica Felton subconsciously wanted to call Ronan, but grabbed her phone and held back.

Now the producer and number one of the crew is her, not Ronan Anderson, and Ronan is far away in Los Angeles, and now it is up to her to deal with it.

Craig Wood ran over and said, "Johnny Depp's assistant has a call through, and he's looking for Johnny Depp." ”

Gore Verbinski had a bad premonition and whispered, "Jesse, it's not going to be a problem, is it?"

Jessica Felton forced herself to calm down: "I've mobilized people to find it. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Gore, it's not the first time Johnny Depp hasn't appeared on the set, right?"

"yes. Gore Verbinski told the truth: "There have been two times before, but both times they were seriously late in the morning. ”

Jessica Filton's good-looking eyebrows furrowed, "Late?

Gore Wipinski said quickly: "Johnny Depp is an alcoholic addiction, and those two times he was late was all caused by getting drunk the night before. ”

Jessica Felton pinched her chin: "Alcoholics?"

The phone rang again, Jessica Filton picked up the phone, and another assistant's voice came from inside: "BOSS, I'm in the hotel, Johnny Depp didn't come back, I asked the hotel staff carefully, and they were sure that Johnny Depp didn't come back after leaving the hotel this morning." ”

Jessica Felton snapped her flip phone and said to Gore Verbinski: "Not in the hotel. ”

Gore Verbinsky had a liver ache, and it was the first time he had encountered such a strange actor in this not very long directorial career, which was really an eye-opener.

Jessica Felton didn't stop, thinking of Gore Verbinski's words about Johnson Depp's alcoholism, and said to Craig Wood: "Immediately gather all the assistant producers and assistant directors and go to the set and all the places around where you can drink." Also, remind everyone that they signed a non-disclosure agreement when they entered the crew. ”

Craig Wood quickly gathered his men and hurried off.

For the time being, only Gore Verbinski and Jessica Felton remained, and Gore Verbinski asked, "Do you want to call the police?"

Jessica Felton shook her head: "Not yet, the Mexican police ......" She glanced at her watch: "Half an hour later, if there is no news of Johnny Depp, we will call the police." ”

Worry temporarily overshadowed Johnny Depp's sudden disappearance of anger, Jessica Filton anxiously walked back and forth, answering phone calls from time to time, and most of the crew had been sent out.

Ten minutes later, a phone call came, and I finally got the good news.

Jessica Filton hung up, relieved, and said, "Johnny Depp found it, drunk in a bar, sleeping with a cat in his arms. ”

Gore Verbinski's fire was immediately lit, and a string of expletives couldn't help but come out of his mouth.

Jessica Filton didn't persuade, because she was also very angry, but anger couldn't solve the problem, and after calling to find manpower, she dialed Johnny Depp's agent: "I'm Jessica Filton, tomorrow you have to come to Rosario, we need to have a good talk." ”
