Chapter 11: Bullying

With just one glance, Winona Ryder recognized that this was the man she had seen in the corridor of the office area at noon, and couldn't help but think of the assistant's words, and turned her head to look at Angelina Jolie, Angelina Jolie was also looking at her, the disdain in her eyes was not concealed at all, and the two sharp gazes collided together, and sparks flew in an instant.

"Cheap!"

Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie had the same thought in their minds.

Matthew was standing opposite Winona Ryder, all of which were in full view, and hearing the verbal conflict between the two stars with his own ears, guessed that the conflict between the two might become more and more acute.

Suddenly, he saw Winona Ryder's gaze turn back to him, and for some reason, he always felt that it was not good.

Winona Ryder first looked at Matthew, then turned her head to look at Angelina Jolie, and had a guess in her heart, there have been rumors in the circle recently that Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller are preparing to divorce, is ......there a third party involved?

Her eyes turned back to Matthew again, and with Angelina Jolie's prodigal style, the odds should be high.

"James!" Winona Ryder suddenly turned her head, and James Mangold, who was discussing with the photographer, immediately looked up, "Something?"

Winona Ryder nodded slightly, walked over directly, pointed at Matthew and said, "That actor, replaced him." ”

Although under normal circumstances, directors have great power on the set of filming, James Mangold is very clear that Winona Ryder is a producer, far more power than him, and he, as a director, cannot even participate in post-production, in fact, he is a shooting director on the set.

"This ......" James Mangold hesitated slightly, after all, the scene was all designed.

Matthew looked over there, the voices of the two men were not high, but they were enough to reach this side.

Then, I looked at my agent, Dennis Coulter, who was filming for the first time and didn't know what to do next.

Dennis Coulter, who was standing on the periphery of the set, also heard these words, and immediately stepped back and hid behind a handyman.

It was clear that Winona Ryder had an opinion about that fool, and he didn't want this to involve him.

He knew the crew, except for Georgia Caycandis, a producer who didn't come to the set often, the most powerful person in the crew of "Soul Shifter" was Winona Ryder.

For a trivial little stance, to play against Winona Ryder? He's not that stupid.

Dennis Kurt turned a blind eye to Matthew's plea for help, wondering if he should retreat early, and as for Matthew, let him fend for himself.

Seeing Dennis Coulter hiding in a blind corner, Matthew knew that he couldn't count on it, and immediately withdrew his gaze to look at Angelina Jolie, from the analysis of the situation at noon today, Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder are at odds, will they help themselves say a few words?

Angelina Jolie sat on the couch and turned her head to look at Winona Ryder, who, like most of the actors, was emotionally exposed, and her unhappiness was almost written on her face.

Although she didn't know why Winona Ryder suddenly made such a request, she vaguely felt that Winona Ryder was targeting herself.

Even, she could feel the little driver's gaze for help.

However, Angelina Jolie didn't plan to do anything, she did have a very unpleasant quarrel with Winona Ryder, but it was not worth it to make another fight for a small driver.

She had already given him a chance and completed a verbal agreement, and he could only be blamed for his bad luck for this unexpected situation.

"I'm the heroine!"

As the most powerful person on the set, Winona Ryder spoke very confidently, and in order to avoid giving a bad impression of being vexatious, she pointed to Matthew and found a very powerful excuse, "You guys find such a handsome nurse behind me, it will distract the audience's attention from me!"

This is the legitimate power of the heroine, and it makes sense wherever she gets it.

"You, come here!" James Mangold immediately beckoned to Matthew and said directly, "Don't participate in the filming of this scene." ”

Matthew was reluctant in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, no one cared about the feelings of the little people, so he had to walk out of the filming venue.

Winona Ryder said a few more words to James Mangold, and then walked into the set and took a special look at Angelina Jolie, who looked very ugly.

While preparations were still being made over there for the shoot, Matthew, who had gone from being a participant to a bystander, looked around the perimeter, found the fat figure of Dennis Coulter, and immediately walked over.

"What's next?" he said, standing next to Dennis Coulter.

Dennis Coulter quickly moved two steps to the other side, as if Matthew had a malignant infection.

"I have urgent matters to attend to on another crew. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's almost time, I'll go first, you wait here until you get off work, and see if the crew will have other arrangements." ”

Before Matthew could speak, Dennis Coulter turned around and walked away quickly.

When the crew started filming, there was silence around, Matthew stood alone on the periphery of the set, and the crew seemed to consciously distance themselves from him, and no one told him what to do next.

"Is this Hollywood?"

Matthew suddenly laughed, no wonder many people say that the entertainment industry is the most powerful place, and now I really have a deep understanding!

If you were someone else, you might just leave at this time, but Matthew has experienced hardships since he was a child, and he can temporarily compromise in order to survive, but he will not be easily defeated!

No one in the crew said that they wanted him to stay on the set, but no one drove him away, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of him as a little person.

Therefore, Matthew didn't plan to leave voluntarily, just stood on the periphery, watching the shooting on the set, his eyes always rolling on Winona Ryder, wondering how to create opportunities for himself.

finally created an opportunity to come out, and he was really unwilling to leave like this.

Filming is intermittent, the director will call to stop from time to time, Winona Ryder does have a lot of power on the set, Matthew saw her several times in the past to discuss with the director, on the other hand, Angelina Jolie can only be directed by the director.

The two made judgments on the high status of the crew.

In the filming, it was the other way around, Winona Ryder's performance was very average, while Angelina Jolie was very explosive, Matthew was still a layman strictly speaking, and he didn't know how to judge acting skills, but Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie performed in the same frame, the former was far more in line with his aesthetics than the latter, but his eyes unconsciously followed Angelina Jolie.

Matthew felt that this might be telling, especially Angelina Jolie's statement that Winona Ryder wanted to cut her scene.

After watching it for a while, he was a little puzzled, since Winona Ryder has so much power on the set, why did she choose Angelina Jolie as the second female lead?

But he thought for a while, and he had an answer, I heard Dennis Coulter's villain who saw the wind and rudder mention that the producer of this film is Sony Columbia Pictures, and there is also a producer, it is estimated that they may have chosen Angelina Jolie.

The afternoon was fleeting, and Matthew stood here alone except for going to the toilet, but when the crew was about to get off work, no one remembered him as an extra.

"Cut!" Director James Mangold shouted to stop the last shot of the day, "this is over!"

Then, he called the main cast over and had a short meeting to determine tomorrow's shooting tasks, and the rest of the crew began to pack up their belongings and get ready to leave work.

"What!"

At this moment, Angelina Jolie's angry voice rang out in the studio, "Tomorrow my two scenes are cancelled?

James Mangold explains, "It's all about the whole movie......

Angelina Jolie didn't listen to him at all, and turned her head to look at Winona Ryder, "You dare to cut my play!"

Winona Ryder's voice was still cold, "It's a normal shooting adjustment. ”

Everyone in the crew looked over there, but there was no surprise in their eyes, it seemed that this kind of thing had happened more than once.

Matthew looked over there, his head racing.

"I'll call Georgia Kaycandis!" Angelina Jolie has nothing to do with Winona Ryder right now, "I'll report the crew to Sony Columbia!"

Winona Ryder dared to do this, there must be some support, her fair face did not change, and she said directly, "Whatever, whatever you want, call anyone." ”

She turned to James Mangold and said, "Shoot tomorrow according to a new plan." ”

Angelina Jolie looks like she's about to explode, but there's nowhere to go, Winona Ryder is clearly bullying, but she can't think of a way to fight back.

"Let's go!" Angelina Jolie beckoned to her assistant, turned and strode towards the dressing room.

Matthew stood there motionless, looking at Winona Ryder and then at Angelina Jolie who was leaving, hesitating for a moment. He believes in what he sees, he can fight for another chance, he won't be delusional about important roles, is it possible to play small roles with lines?

Should he go to Angelina Jolie or Winona Ryder? He didn't know which one to choose.

There are certainly disadvantages to this, but he is at the bottom of the Hollywood pyramid and even the whole society, and he has no capital of his own, nor has anything to lose, and he may have to wait a long time without fighting by unconventional means.

What he saw and heard in the crew today made him understand that the opportunity is really rare.

Who to choose? Matthew thought about it for two minutes and made a decision.

In his few memories of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie is known for her future, and his only impression of Winona Ryder is that of Captain Jack's ex-girlfriend, and he doesn't even know what she looks like......

"Looks like I'm going to become a powerful person too. ”

With a sigh, Matthew walked in the direction Angelina Jolie had left.
