Chapter 988 - All Mind Is on Work

After getting off the plane and out of the airport, Ronan drove into Rio de Janeiro's financial district, where the Fast and Furious 4 crew was filming locations.

The film's on-location shooting has reached the final stage, and it will be transferred to the studio in about ten days.

Coming to a main road in the financial district, which has been temporarily closed by the Rio police, Finch went over to negotiate, and Ronan and the bodyguards' car quickly entered the closed area, and before they arrived at the filming location, there was an explosion, mixed with the sound of collision and glass breaking.

David parked the car, Ronan put on a pair of sunglasses, got out of the car and walked towards the filming location.

Rio de Janeiro is located in the southern hemisphere, and it is the hottest summer of the year, and the blazing sun is on the road, and even the tar seems to be a little sticky.

The screeching sound of brakes sounded, and after a beautiful flick of the tail of a high-powered black sports car, it sped along the road like a lightning bolt.

The Fast & Furious 4 crew brings together some of Hollywood's best stunt drivers.

Jessica Felton and Justin Lin carried out Ronan's request, and any slightly more dangerous scenes were basically highly specialized stunt doubles.

People like Paul Walker want to get over the crazy drag racing addiction while the crew is filming, that's absolutely not allowed.

When you leave the crew, you can race as much as you want, but during the crew, you must do things according to the terms of the contract signed by both parties.

The main actors have serious casualties in the crew, which is extremely troublesome for any crew.

The actors' union and other non-profit organizations have never been decorations here.

For example, if an actor dies suddenly during the filming of the crew, the actors' union can investigate the crew's suspicion of life, and all kinds of insurance and compensation payments add up, even Relativity Entertainment will feel distressed.

There may be too much fuck in Hollywood, but in terms of protecting the rights and interests of union members, it is definitely the best in the entertainment industry in the world.

Even to the extent of Ronan, he will not despise the actors' union and the directors' union, which can pick out three points of rights and interests protection organizations that ignore it.

As for organizations like the Environmental Protection Association and the Animal Protection Society, any Hollywood production company will have one head turned into two big when they hear their names.

No one wants to deal with them.

Luckily, in a place like Brazil, there is basically no room for these organizations to survive, and they don't jump out and mess with the crew.

Ronan didn't disturb the crew's normal work, came under a large sun umbrella, casually asked for a cold drink, and watched the crew busy while drinking.

Justin Lin is coordinating the crew to shoot normally, and he is very busy.

Initially, Ronan did not see the figure of the producer Jessica Felton, but later saw it under the awning of a building not too far from the filming location, where she was communicating with several Brazilians, some of whom were also wearing police uniforms, presumably staff of government agencies in Rio de Janeiro.

Ronan had a very bad impression of the security in Rio de Janeiro, especially when he almost bought the rights to "City of God" for a time, and asked Finch next to him: "The crew didn't have any security problems here, right?"

"Nope. Finch immediately replied: "The Rio side attaches great importance to the crew, and the security force of the crew is strong enough. ”

A chaotic sound sounded on the side of the crew's filming site, and the sweaty professionals of all types of work suddenly dispersed, hid in a place that could shade the sun, picked up all kinds of cold drinks and drank Haisai, and started a short rest.

Ronan came to the place where the director team was, and Justin Lin was quite surprised when he saw Ronan suddenly appear, and hurriedly came over to say hello.

"Did the filming go well?" Ronan didn't explain.

"It's a little slower than planned, but Rio City Hall has been planning more time than planned, and the police are very cooperative, so I'm confident that we can finish filming all the locations within 10 days," said Justin Lin. ”

Ronan advised, "Be safe. ”

Justin Lin understood what he meant, saying, "I understand that the crew doesn't let the actors take easy risks. ”

"Why are you here?" A slightly surprised female voice came from behind the side, followed by slightly quickened footsteps: "Ronan, when did you arrive in Rio?"

Ronan turned around, looked at Jessica Filton, and said with a smile: "Just arrived, got off the plane and came directly." ”

Jessica Filton was holding a folder in her hand, probably too hot, fanning the wind lightly, wondering, "Why did you suddenly come to Rio?"

Ronan took a bottle of cold drink, unscrewed it, handed it to Jessica Felton, and said, "Drink some and cool down." ”

Jessica Felton was not polite to Ronan either, took two sips after taking it, and saw that Justin Lin and the director team were busy again, and said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the rest area." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Let's go." ”

Jessica Filton led the way and headed towards a large parasol.

Ronan followed: "The weather in Rio is terrible, it's unbearable Christmas. ”

"It feels weird, doesn't it?" Jessica Felton laughed, pushed the sunglasses off her face, and said, "Santa Claus in Rio wears bikinis. ”

Ronan shrugged and followed Jessica Filton under the parasol, eyes falling on Jessica Filton.

Jessica Filton wears a fitted white short-sleeved T-shirt with a pair of light blue cropped jeans underneath, and tiny light red nails can be faintly seen between the gaps in the mesh sneakers.

The arms that were originally exposed on the outside of the clothes, with white ice sleeves, a light-colored sunhat on top of the sunglasses on his face, and long brown hair tied into a ponytail that hung down behind the sunhat.

Despite being tightly covered, her fiery figure is still unobstructed.

However, Ronan judged with his rich experience that Jessica Felton's chest seemed to be a cup smaller than when they first met.

Jessica Felton asked again, "Ronan, why are you here all of a sudden? ”

Ronan smiled and said, "It's Christmas, come and see you." ”

"Did the crew's work go wrong?" Jessica Filton's first thought must have been work, asking, "Or is there something unexpected?"

Ronan shook his head slightly: "No." ”

Jessica Felton was so engrossed in her work that she immediately thought of something and said, "Did I not give the crew a holiday?

Ronan simply followed her words and asked, "By the way, why is there no holiday at Christmas?"

Jessica Filton earnestly explained: "Rio de Janeiro will soon be preparing for the carnival, and then the crew will not have the same great freedom to close the road as it does now, and we have to finish all the location filming in early January next year. ”

She thought about it for a while, and then said: "I have also made a lot of preparations, such as chartering a plane to invite the families of the crew to visit Brazil, and booking a Christmas party on the beach of the hotel tonight, and the opinions within the crew about not having a holiday should not be ......."

Hollywood crews working overtime are actually the norm, as long as the rights and interests of the crew and overtime income are protected, no one will take the initiative to find trouble.

The sun umbrella blocked the dazzling sunlight, Ronan took off his sunglasses, wiped his sweat, and said: "Jesse, you are the person in charge of the crew, these matters are within your power, I just came to take a look, there is no other meaning." ”

Jessica Felton took another sip of a cold drink before saying, "I thought something serious happened to the crew that I didn't know about and alarmed you." ”

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "We've known each other for so many years, if there is really a situation, I won't say hello to you." ”

Jessica Felton's mind was all about her work, and she answered, "Not necessarily. ”

Strictly speaking, she is an employee of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan is the boss, and if there is really a serious problem with the crew, it is impossible for Ronan not to interfere.

Ronan didn't want to talk about work anymore, so he took advantage of the situation to change the subject: "The crew is going to have a Christmas party tonight?"

"yes, it's ready at the hotel. Jessica Filton never left her work in three sentences: "After all, it's Christmas, no matter how much overtime pay is given, it is necessary to let the crew have a channel to celebrate and carnival, so as to ensure the efficiency of the next few days. ”

I don't know why, Ronan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I'll stay at the party, you won't be unwelcome, right?"

"You're participating?" Jessica Felton shook her head very seriously, "Frankly, you and I are not suitable to participate, they will not be able to let go." ”

This is true, and even Ronan can't deny it.

As the boss of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan's status is here.

And Jessica Felton, as the producer of the crew, put down her body and celebrate the carnival with the crew is a very stupid act.

Finch's cell phone rang suddenly, he stepped out of the umbrella and connected it, walked back after a few words, and whispered a few words in Ronan's ear.

Ronan's brows immediately furrowed, he glanced at Jessica Felton and said, "I can't participate either, I'm going back to Los Angeles now." ”

Jessica Filton immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong, is something going on?"

Ronan nodded slowly and said solemnly: "I just received a notice from Warner Bros. that there is an unexpected situation in the crew of "The Dark Knight", and I need to rush back to Los Angeles immediately to discuss with Warner Bros. how to deal with it. ”

"Work matters. Jessica Felton said: "You don't have to worry about the Fast and Furious 4 crew, I'm here." ”

Ronan sighed lightly and said, "I wish everyone a Merry Christmas at the party." ”

Without further ado, he said to Finch: "Let the crew hurry up and take care of the take-off and routes, and hurry back to Los Angeles." ”

Finch had already contacted Ronan's business jet crew, and when they were back at the airport, they would be ready to take off immediately.

Ronan could only sigh in his heart, he had reminded him so many times that since the other party didn't listen, what should have come would definitely come.
