Rosario in Baja California is famous as the filming location of James Cameron's "Titanic", and after the filming of the big ship, the various filming facilities that James Cameron spent a lot of money on such as artificial lakes and sound stages were preserved, plus some infrastructure that was later added, around the artificial lake as the center, Rosario gradually became the center of Hollywood water filming.

There is still a legend here that James Cameron spent $60 million to build a model of a large ship, and the model could only be sold for scrap to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars after filming.

With the increasing number of Hollywood crews coming to Rosario, a variety of supporting facilities have emerged, including star-rated hotels.

Inside one of Rosario's most luxurious hotels, Jessica Filton and director Gore Wibinski walked into the crew conference room and saw a pale Johnny Depp and his agent Tracy Jacob.

"Hello, Director Verbinski. Tracy Jacob didn't deal with Jessica Felton very often, shaking hands with Gore Verbinski first, and then gently shaking hands with Jessica Felton: "Hello, Miss Felton. ”

Jessica Felton and director Gore Wibinski responded politely.

Gore Wibinski left his chair and sat down across from Johnny Depp and his agent, Tracy Jacob, before looking at Jessica Felton.

Today's event is definitely dominated by producer Jessica Felton.

Despite the exchange of views before the two arrived, Gore Verbinski was a little worried that Jessica Felton could not handle it well and the crew could be in huge trouble.

This kind of thing is not easy to handle, and weak compromise will only make the star actor gain an inch, and being too tough may lead to sharp contradictions between the two sides and become difficult to reconcile.

Captain Johnny Depp is too important to the series, and to put it mildly, maybe one person is enough to decide the success or failure of the film.

Gore Wibinski felt that even if Ronan Anderson faced this situation, he would probably have a headache.

Johnny Depp slumped in the sofa chair, pale, droopy and blank eyes, still seemingly silent in his own world, with no intention of saying hello to Jessica Filton and Gore Verbinski.

It seems that his wine has not fully woken up, and he is still a little drunk.

It's too much of a headache to encounter such a situation with such an actor.

But the crew couldn't wait for him for a long time, and every day of delay would cost the crew more than one million dollars in various expenses.

Jessica Felton's delicate wheat-colored skin on her face is tight, and her keen sense of smell catches the faint smell of wine, which comes from Johnny Depp's side.

How much alcohol did you drink yesterday?

In the eyes of dedicated tech freaks like Jessica Felton, actors like Johnny Depp are definitely not good actors.

A flash of indescribable disgust flashed in her heart, and Jessica Filton quickly adjusted her mind so that this emotion would not affect the next negotiations.

Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow has long been popular and can be called the most important role in the series, and the crew can't do without him, this is a fact that has happened, and she can't change it.

Jessica Felton knew that Ronan trusted her in her abilities by putting such an important crew into her hands, not by letting 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 cast by Gore Verbinski, Jessica Felton did not hesitate, this is her duty, it is impossible to pass it on to others, and she must take full responsibility.

"Ms. Jacob, Mr. Depp. Jessica Filton was expressionless: "Yesterday's events, I need an explanation. ”

Tracy Jacob glanced at Johnny Depp and showed a formulaic smile: "Yesterday was an accident, and I apologize to the crew for Depp." ”

The words were fluttering, as if yesterday's events were no big deal.

Jessica Felton is a technical maniac, and she used to deal more with various technologies, but she has been a late-stage producer for nearly two years, and has been a producer on the crew for more than a month, knowing that she must be appropriately tough at this time, once she gives in and is lightly revealed, with the professionalism of an actor like Johnny Depp, maybe God doesn't know what will happen later.

The last two parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are set shots, and it may take another four to five months to shoot according to the plan.

Jessica Felton said: "I need to know what happened yesterday at noon. ”

Tracy Jacob is also a little helpless, Johnny Depp is full of problems, and he was quite restrained during the filming of "The Curse of the Black Pearl", but after Captain Jack Sparrow became popular, some old problems that were briefly suppressed began to appear again.

But what can she do? As an agent, she can only maintain the client, saying: "Yesterday at noon, Depp was not in a good mood, and he went to drink some wine after filming in the morning. ”

Jessica Felton turned to look at Johnny Depp, who blinked his godless eyes and said casually, "That's probably it." ”

Such an attitude was so annoying that Gore Verbinsky thought he was good-tempered, and he almost couldn't help but slap the table.

Yesterday's shooting plan was all made around you as the center, and I also explained it in the morning, you are good, you got drunk directly after filming in the morning, and hung the whole crew on the set.

Jessica Felton looked at Johnny Depp and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Depp, there is a clear stipulation in the contract you signed with the crew that you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the filming of the crew, and your behavior is in breach of contract!"

Johnny Depp tilted his head and said something in his mouth: "It's not a default, I wasn't in very good shape yesterday, the role of Jack is very special, I need to drink some wine to find my state, and I accidentally drank too much." ”

Gore Verbinski couldn't help it and said, "This is the fifth time since the start of filming!"

Even with the cheekiness of his agent, Tracy Jacob is a bit embarrassed, and Johnny Depp shrugged and seemed unconcerned.

Jessica Felton quietly waved her hand, and Gore Verbinski didn't say anything further.

"Both, according to the contract. Jessica Felton is well aware that the director has to work with the actors for a long time to shoot, and the contradictions cannot be too sharp, and the villain can only be done by her: "Mr. Depp is in breach of contract, and we have the right to deduct sixty percent of the second batch of salaries." ”

Tracy Jacob's face instantly turned ugly: "Miss Felton, this is just a small matter, please don't make a big fuss." ”

Jessica Felton said: "That's what I think about it too. She shrugged slightly: "I don't want things to get out of hand." Yesterday afternoon, the abnormality of the crew has been noticed by the media, and now there are dozens of reporters circling around the crew, wanting to find out what is going on, and I have given a gag order to the crew to downplay the matter as much as possible. ”

Tracy Jacob's face looks a little better, of course this kind of thing can't be spread, otherwise the media will report wildly, which will seriously affect Depp's reputation.

Jessica Felton glanced at Johnny Depp, who didn't say anything: "We have always had a very good cooperation with each other, and we are old friends with each other, and I believe that Mr. Depp will respect our contract in the future." ”

Johnny Depp said casually with a faint smell of alcohol: "I see." ”

Tracy Jacob also followed up and said: "We promise that we will try not to have anything like this happen in the future." ”

Jessica Felton also had a fire about to bubble out, and even her chest swelled a little bigger, and 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 Filton and also seemed a little angry, and Jessica Filton met his gaze without the slightest concession.

Tracy Jacob necessarily sided with the client: "Miss Felton, what else do you want us to do?"

Jessica Filton said unceremoniously, "Promise there will never be a next time." In addition, all the crew members waited for so long yesterday, but because of one person, all the preparations were scrapped, they need an attitude, and Mr. Depp owes them an apology. ”

"I don't owe anything to anyone. "Johnny Depp made it clear.

Jessica Felton said: "Depp, if you are busy preparing for hours, but because of one person, all the work is wasted, do you think that person should not say sorry to you?"

Tracy Jacob didn't want to get too stiff with the crew, so he could only look at Johnny Depp, who was slumped in the sofa chair, still looking indifferent.

Having said that, Jessica Filton decided that she couldn't reason with Johnny Depp, and in order for the crew to work smoothly in the next few months, instead of thinking about this kind of bad things happening frequently, she had to show the tough attitude that a producer should have.

All filming plans were interrupted yesterday afternoon, the crew lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Johnny Depp came a few more times, and the crew was going to make additional investments.

Judging by Johnny Depp's current attitude, I'm afraid there will be no less such things in the future.

Johnny Depp is important, but the rest of the crew is not? If you can't strike a balance between the two, the shooting will still go wrong.

Not to mention the others, the other two protagonists, Keira Knightley and Christian Bale, as well as director Gore Wibinski, are already bizarre and angry at Johnny Depp's repeated troubles.

If these people have problems, the crew will also be unable to function.

Gore Verbinski looked at Johnny Depp coldly, he had heard of some big-name star actors with all kinds of problems in the past, but most actors took their work very seriously and responsibly.

It is really rare to have a bad temper, a big shelf and a lack of professionalism.

No wonder everyone in the circle says that Johnny Depp is a weird, this description is not unreasonable.

Jessica Felton said lightly: "In this case, I can only deal with it in accordance with the terms of breach of contract and notify the production company to deduct 60% of Mr. Depp's salary." ”
