Chapter 417: The Bastard Who Bullied the Troupe
"You're welcome, just sit down. ”
Don casually pressed his hand, and then gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Charlize Theron.
After Don and Charlize Theron had sat down, Kent Richards and David Anthony sat down respectfully.
They are members of the crew of the "Rush Hour" series, but they are not the main creators, and they have little to do with the interests of this series.
In contrast, Don's invitation is more in line with their career plan!
Even if he is also a production assistant and casting director, working under Don is definitely more promising than following New Line Pictures.
"I mean, you should understand, right?"
After taking his seat, Donn first asked for a glass of juice for Charlize Theron, and then took the lead straight to the point.
Kent Richards asked tentatively, "Is it because ...... What about Director Ratner?"
Don smiled and said calmly: "I think his existence will seriously discredit the image of Hollywood, what do you say?"
"Discrediting the image of Hollywood?"
Kent Richards and David Anthony looked at each other and immediately understood what Donn meant.
Mixing in this circle, especially in positions like production assistants and casting directors, don't have enough cleverness to play at all.
David Anthony hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Walker, I agree with your words 100%! Actually, it was okay when filming "Rush Hour 1", Ratner was still a newcomer at that time, and he was serious and cautious enough. But when filming "Rush Hour 2", his fame grew, and his bastard side was revealed. ”
At this time, the waiter had already brought a cup of coffee and juice, and Tang En took a sip without hurry, and then said slowly: "Tell me about the specific situation." ”
David Anthony was a little embarrassed, "I was on the set at the time...... It's complicated, I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember that at least three extras, actresses, complained to me that Ratner had blackmailed them with 'dates'. ”
Charlize Theron's face changed suddenly, it seems that this Brett Ratner is really a criminal record!
Bullying low-level actresses with dreams is far more excessive than bullying female stars!
The unspoken rules of trading with female celebrities are more often about taking what they need, with the protection of the contract. But this kind of transaction with the low-level female group is not equal at all!
Charlize Theron has never been an extras in Hollywood, but she has been in the modeling industry before, and many colleagues have experienced this.
Many girls with dreams have joined the film crew and accompanied casting directors, assistant directors, assistant directors, production assistants, associate producers, etc...... But after the movie was released, I found out that I was deceived, and there was no shot of them in the film at all!
This is the current situation of extras.
Starting with these female group actors with dreams and no foundation, they are usually middle and low-level staff in the crew, but this Brett Ratner, as the director of "Rush Hour", actually attacked the bottom with the power of a director, shamelessly, beyond imagination!
Donn's expression was more flat.
The entertainment industry all over the world is the same, and the unequal supply and demand relationship is destined to have unequal transactions.
A female star who climbed up from the bottom group performance...... It's not most anymore, but all, all of them have an unbearable path of growth, very inspirational, and very ugly!
"Can you get in touch?"
Don was intrigued by the information.
Hollywood's well-known directors play unspoken rules with female stars, this is the default status quo in the industry, and both men and women will definitely protect this secret and maintain their respective images.
But abusing power and bullying extras is a different concept.
Most of the group performers are outsiders, they don't care about Hollywood's decency, once it is not handled well and the scandal breaks out, it will cause a big blow to Hollywood's image. Therefore, many big directors and big producers would rather take trouble and become famous actors than attack low-level actors.
Breett Ratner's starvation is clearly a violation of Hollywood rules.
David Anthony thought for a moment and said, "I should be able to! I'll go back and check the list and I can contact them." ”
"Okay, I want detailed materials, it's a written document that they confirmed!" Don En paused for a moment, and then added, "You can be blunt, tell them not to be afraid, just say that I, Don En, am fighting for them, and I want to take Ratner and let them cooperate!"
"Okay, I got it. David Anthony nodded immediately.
Donn let out a soft "um" and looked at Kent Richards, "What about you? You're a production assistant, and you're usually in charge of the actors' life support and interpersonal communication, so you should have heard some things, right?"
Kent Richards lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, there were at least 5 female ensembles who accused me of Ratner's misconduct. ”
"Oh, remember who it was?"
"There is a Japanese actor named Sasaki Eri. At that time, she took a shot, and she was dressed very revealingly, revealing her upper abdomen. While waiting for the camera to turn on, Ratner walked up to her, pointed to her belly, and asked if she would like to go to the bathroom with him, which she refused. In the next few days, Ratner continued to seduce, and said that he could praise her as a female star, and he could also provide her with a line and so on. She complained to me for days, so I remember it very well. ”
Kent Richards paused for a moment, then added: "There is also a female ensemble performer named Georgina King, I remember her, because she has now founded her own ensemble agency and become the boss. At that time, Ratner stopped her in a group of female ensembles, saying that they wanted to talk about the lines. But when she went to his nanny car, Ratner told her to take off her clothes and look at her breasts. She refused, and the next day, she was fired. ”
"This bastard!"
Charlize Theron couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Kent Richards shrugged, "He feels deserved, that's what he wants, that's what happens." For him, it's like normal business. ”
Donn waved his hand, "Well, that's fine. These stories are good...... I mean, it's weighty enough. Remember, I want written documents, testimony from these victims. ”
Kent Richards immediately said: "Mr. Walker, don't worry, give me three days, and I promise to investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a document that is sufficiently detailed." ”
"Good. Don patted Charlize Theron on the thigh and smiled at the two opposite, "This thing is done, I can offer you a position at Don Pictures and give you the opportunity to work on a big project like Spider-Man." ”
Kent Richards and David Anthony were overjoyed.
Isn't that the reason why they accepted Donn's invitation?
In Hollywood, as we all know, Towne Pictures is a paradise for low-level workers, and many of the entrepreneurial teams of Towne Films are from the bottom, such as Andrew O'Haire, Glenn Fierro and others, who are already executives of Down Pictures.
At this time, Don was in a period of prosperity.
Whether it is a female star, a male star, a grassroots class, or a professional, climbing the big tree of Donn is equivalent to having a foothold in Hollywood.
……
"When I think about Ratner's disgusting appearance, I want to throw up!"
Charlize Theron, as a woman, was clearly very angry at what Bright Ratner had done.
Don touched his nose, a little embarrassed, "That'...... It's not an insinuation to me, is it?"
"Huh?" Charlize Theron was slightly stunned, then smiled and glanced at him coquettishly, "You are you, he is him, can this be the same? You have become popular with so many female stars, this is the confidence." What is Ratner? a real bastard, a liar, a scoundrel!"
Don smiled, "Well, thank you for the compliment. ”
Charlize Theron shook her head, "It's not a compliment, it's a fact." Harvey Weinstein is a hundred times more than Bright Ratner, but actresses are still willing to work with him, don't they just want to be stars? I'm sure all the actresses in Hollywood, dream of climbing into your bed. ”
Don was amused and angry, "Forget it, don't compare me to them, I'm a feminist, I'm actively promoting the development and progress of women's rights! This year, I have launched four feminist films, "Juno", "Resident Evil", "All the Time", and "Chicago", and "Gone Girl" is also building a project, which is also a feminist film. ”
"Gone Girl?" Charlize Theron's eyes lit up, "Is it going to be made into a movie?" Donn, you know, I'm out of contract now, and my agent has canceled his collaboration with Red Dragon. ”
Tang En looked at her fixedly, "Do you want to play the female number one?"
"Can't you?"
"You're too young, Gone Girl needs a relatively mature actress. ”
In comparison, Donn is more interested in Nicole Kidman. Whether it is acting skills or age, she is in the golden age of an actress's life.
And she had an unhappy marriage, in which she struggled, which is very much in line with the persona of the heroine in "Gone Girl".
Charlize Theron's face darkened, and he complained in a low voice, "It seems that the old lover is still important." ”
Tang En shook his head amusedly, "Okay, if you have the right opportunity, I will look for you, don't think about "Gone Girl", it's not for you." ”
There is another reason for Nicole Kidman to play the heroine of "Gone Girl".
Last year, Donn was interested in directing "Chicago" himself, and the scheduled male and female protagonists at that time were Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman.
It's a pity that later, for various reasons, Don went to film "A Beautiful Mind".
Mel Gibson needs to break out of the stereotyped tough-guy image, and now, "Gone Girl" may be an opportunity......
