Chapter Forty-Five: Mrs. Geraldine

"Chaplin" is adapted from "My Autobiography" written by comedy master Charlie Chaplin, which is a literary film that requires a long time of preparation before it can be filmed.

After returning to Los Angeles, Emmanuel finished his business and went to Chaplin's relatives to negotiate the copyright according to Lester's request.

Suddenly receiving that Chaplin's family wanted to talk to him face-to-face about the script of "Chaplin", Lester knew it and asked Emmanuel to reply that she would meet tomorrow.

As soon as Emmanuel left, Lester returned to the room to supervise the filming of the "Wall Street" crew, and the meeting scene between Bard Fox and the heroine was filmed after Leicester came in.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the crew finished dinner and started filming the bed scene of Robert Jr. and Diane Lynne.

"Nervous?

Before filming began, Lester asked Robert Jr. with a lewd smile.

When little Robert heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, glared at Lester, and said disdainfully: "You should take your medicine," and turned around and walked to the filming location after speaking.

Lester touched his nose and sat on the stool, watching the bed scene being filmed.

In the bedroom, the gaffer set the lighting scene to a luminous color, and the bed was made black, and only two vague figures could be seen undulating, which seemed to be a bed scene, but in fact, both of them were wearing a tight suit, which was not very obvious in the night, and the two performed the bed scene as if it were real.

After filming the bed scene, the crew began to shoot the next shot, Lester watched it, and handed it over to Oliver to manage, a few days of shooting, the Flying Bird crew got used to Oliver's shooting techniques, and the run-in was almost over.

Lester walked out of the filming area and returned to the hotel room where the crew was staying on Wall Street.

Taking off his dusty clothes from a busy day, revealing his muscular body, Lester walked into the bathroom, soaked in the white bathtub, washed his whole body, put on his clothes coolly, and walked into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Lester took out the half-drawn Chaplin storyboard, and continued to draw the previous picture.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock that Lester finally finished the storyboard of Chaplin, put it in a black leather bag, and kneaded his neck and muscles that had been sore from the gesture for hours.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep!

The 21 Club restaurant in New York City, a restaurant with retro decoration and a long history, is no longer a simple restaurant, but has become a landmark building in New York after the baptism of time.

In particular, this restaurant has witnessed the honor and shocking news of many dignitaries and nobles, and it is one of the favorite restaurants of dignitaries and celebrities.

Before you even enter the 21 Club restaurant, you can see the unique 33 little people on the door, each with a unique story.

When you open the door and walk into the 21 Club, you will see a low-key luxury style, with all kinds of airplanes, trains, car toy models hanging overhead, and maybe soon, there will be a model of a Transformer here.

There were a lot of people eating breakfast in the early morning restaurant, and when they walked in, Lester was dressed in a black suit and looked at Emmanuel waiting for him to win someone.

"Sir, is there anything you need?

The two people who looked around attracted the attention of the waiter, and asked cross-examiningly;

"You...

Emmanuel was just about to ask the waiter if there was a lady who made a reservation, Lester's eyes lit up as he looked around, raised his finger, and pointed to an elegant lady sitting near the window, and said to the waiter: "I have a reservation, I think I found someone waiting for us." ”

The waiter looked down to Lester, where sat a mature lady who was about to enter old age, elegantly eating the jelly cake in her hand.

The mature wife is Charlie Chaplin's daughter, Geraldine Chaplin, a very acting lady.

"Those two need something!" said the waiter, and asked Lester and Emmanuel;

"Give me a very cooked steak," Emmanuel said with some watery mouth;

The food at 21 Club is expensive, and the chefs invite the elite of the chef industry, which is very attractive to customers, such as delicious food and wine, sweet and delicious pudding, etc.

"Give me a 10-minute rare steak, too!

"Okay, you two, I'll send you to the guest table where you are sitting later. The waiter made a note of the food ordered by the two of them, said politely, and turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Emmanuel and Lester looked at the unique style of the neighborhood and walked towards Geraldine Chaplin.

Geraldine Chaplin elegantly spit out a small piece of cake, looked up at Lester and Emmanuel walking towards her, and was a little surprised at each other's youth.

Emmanuel she knew, she had seen it before, and the young handsome guy next to her should be talking to her about the screenwriter who wrote her father's script, and I heard that he was still the owner of a new film and television company.

"Oh, little one, you're so young. Without waiting for the two to approach, Geraldine Chaplin got up to greet the two approaching, and politely stretched out his hand to Lester and said;

Unlike Eastern Europeans hugging for meeting etiquette, shaking hands, this is the etiquette of the British to meet and shake hands, but they can't cross hands, which will be unlucky, Lester still knows, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Geraldine Chaplin, and the gentleman smiled and praised: "Ms. Geraldine, you are still so beautiful." ”

Lester's politeness made Geraldine Chaplin have a good impression of Lester, especially when the other party wore formal clothes and talked in style, which added points to him, so that Geraldine Chaplin had a good image of Lester.

The three of them sat in their seats and chatted, and while the three of them chatted, Geraldine Chaplin kept looking at Lester secretly, and she wanted to see if the young boy who wanted to direct her father had that ability.

"She's read the script of Chaplin, it's a great description, she doesn't want to be made by a bad director, it would be a very bad thing. ”

The conversation continued, and Geraldine Chaplin finally understood that the young boy across from him had this ability, as the waiter set out two steaks to enjoy in front of Lester and Emmanuel.

Under the gaze of the two, Geraldine Chaplin finally spoke about the script and said: "The script you wrote is very good, I agree with you to make the script of "Chaplin" into a movie, but I must play the mother of the protagonist in it and get a share of the copyright remuneration. ”

Geraldine Chaplin asked for it, Lester did not speak, and handed it over to the agent to negotiate.

Emmanuel frowned slightly, relaxed again, and said: "Yes, but there must be a requirement, the salary share must be divided according to the box office." ”

"I agree!" got the exact words on the other side, Geraldine Chaplin thought for a moment and agreed with Emmanuel's words.

With the same awareness, the three of them enjoyed a delicious meal at the 21 Club restaurant, and thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Wall Street hotel room together.

Arriving in the hotel room, Fields was already waiting for the three with the signing contract.

Geraldine Chaplin picked up the contract and read it, found no problems, and signed his name.

"Thank you for agreeing to me directing this Chaplin script, Lester reached out and shook hands with Geraldine Chaplin again.

"No, no, no," Geraldine Chaplin shook his head with a smile, rejecting Lester's words, and said in his confusion, "I still have to thank you for your demeanor and etiquette and your directing skills, otherwise my script would have been killed by me." ”

When Lester heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and he understood what Geraldine Chaplin meant, and said with a smile: "Let me send you!"

Thanks!!!

After seeing off Geraldine Chaplin, Lester returns to his hotel room, chats with Emmanuel and Fields, and begins to prepare for his upcoming trip as advertised for Raiders of the Lost Ark 2.
