Seeing that Jerry and James Sr. refused to give in to each other, the more they argued, the three assistant directors hurriedly joined forces to invite them into the production office.

Later, the parties involved, that is, the two leading actresses, were also found, and everyone sat down to discuss how to resolve their differences.

The cause of the matter is not complicated, it is the classification and positioning of the film.

The so-called classification and positioning of films, simply put, are different levels of films, and the positioning of moviegoers is also different.

Therefore, the classification of movies determines the movie-watching market, and at the same time, it also has a great impact on the foreign markets where films are exported.

American films have a sound and detailed film classification system, and major film production companies have a clear market positioning when the film is established, and then determine the production level of the film.

Regarding the market positioning of this film, Jerry had considered it as early as when he was writing the script, and when he and James Sr. completed the storyboard of the movie, the two had a dispute because of disagreement.

Jerry wanted to position the film as G-rated, that is, mass-market movies, suitable for everyone of all ages.

And the old director James knew Jerry's idea and rejected it, he thought that the film was at least R-rated, and the scale of filming could be enlarged a little more, and he tried to find seven major film companies to be responsible for distribution and release, because they are core members of the Film Association and are responsible for reviewing the film rating, so that the final rating of the film is still R-rated.

Both of them are tough guys, and neither of them can convince anyone.

At that time, Brian threaded the needle between them, prompting the two to reach a reconciliation, each of them made a concession, and the script handed over to the actor was positioned as R-rated, so that the actress could be mentally prepared when she received the film, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, in fact, the film was shot according to PG-13 rating.

In order to successfully establish the project and prepare the crew as soon as possible, Jerry thought that Brian's compromise plan was feasible, so he agreed, and Director James Sr. nodded and agreed.

However, now that the filming of the film has reached the end of the filming, it is expected that the entire shooting work will be completed in a month at most, but the elder James insisted on the R-rated shooting scale at this time, and asked Jerry, Mira, and Gwyneth to appear full/naked in order to facilitate post-editing and production.

Jerry immediately exploded when he heard this.

Thinking that not long ago, he told Monica that he hated the French director who held the banner of art and played hooligan, but he didn't think about it, and in a blink of an eye he also fell into the stinky ditch of art films.

What's going on?

The next four scenes are: the first scene is Maguire and his ex-girlfriend Ivey acting on a bookcase, the second is his first date with Dorothy and the subsequent bed scene, the third scene is the wedding ceremony, and the last scene is the plot sublimation point of the whole film, Maguire confesses to Dorothy affectionately, saving the marriage and family finale.

There are two emotional action scenes in the four scenes, and due to the influence of the brainwashing of his previous life, Jerry did not spend much ink on these two scenes when writing the script.

However, when perfecting the script and drawing the movie script after the film was established, Director James Sr. was not ambiguous, and drew more than a dozen pages of sketches by hand, treating these two scenes as one of the many highlights of the film, that is, the main event.

Jerry didn't pay attention to it at first, mistakenly thinking that this was old James's personal fetish, the old man was in his fifties, and he didn't have much energy but he didn't get old, and he never forgot that little thing.

I never thought that old James was still serious, and now he really wants to shoot like this.

This time, Jerry Donn is not used to him, of course, he has to fight with reason without giving an inch.

Jerry doesn't care how much Gwyneth is exposed, anyway, she takes advantage of herself, as long as she has no opinion.

But!

Mira, who plays Ivey, is not an outsider, that is her daughter-in-law, she has been following her wholeheartedly for half a year, and she can do whatever she does when she closes the door and gets along alone, but in front of the camera, Jerry resolutely refuses to agree, this matter is not discussed, and it is useless to say that the sky is broken.

…………

In the production office, the atmosphere is a little dignified, and the smell of gunpowder is very strong.

Up to this moment, Jerry and Director James Sr. have been arguing for half an hour, and they are still arguing, and neither of them will budge.

The three assistant directors, Mira and Gwyneth, sat next to them, watching them quarrel fiercely, trying to persuade but unable to interject, both of them were hardliners, and they couldn't listen to what others said.

“Stop!”

Old James was old after all, and the fierce quarrel made him breathe a little short, and his heart couldn't stand it, so he shouted to stop, then turned his head to look at the three assistant directors, and waved his hand to signal them to go out.

The door closed again, old James looked at Jerry opposite, showed a helpless wry smile, and said, "Don't quarrel anymore, I admit that you are eloquent, I can't argue with you." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, you're not bad, you should be strong. Jerry laughed as he spoke.

Old James was not modest at all, "Well, that's right, if I were ten years younger, I would be on a par with you in whatever I said." ”

Jerry smiled noncommittally and didn't interject.

Old James saw that he was still unconvinced and would not compromise on this, so old James turned his head to look at Mila and Gwyneth, and said with a smile: "Jerry, instead of us arguing endlessly, no one can convince anyone, it is better to listen to the opinions of the parties, what do you think?"

"Hmm? That's right. ”

Jerry nodded, looked at Gwyneth, and asked, "Gwynnie, what do you think of our next shooting plans, or do you agree with Director James Sr.'s filming arrangements?"

Through frequent contact during this time, Gwyneth and Jerry filmed a lot of hugging and kissing scenes, and her resident crew had little contact with the outside world, the rift between the two is being repaired quickly, and it only takes a breakthrough opportunity to restore the original, and even more intimate than before.

Seeing Jerry, Mila and James Sr. all looking at him, Gwyneth glanced at Mila beside her, then affectionately took her arm and smiled at Jerry: "I'm the same as Mira, if she has no opinion, I agree." ”

Jerry's face was a little bitter when he heard this, and he said secretly: "What a cunning woman, she kicked the ball back without revealing it." Who am I arguing for so long? Isn't it just to protect Mira?"

Thinking about his thoughts, Jerry was silent.

Old James didn't get used to him, and asked Mila directly: "Don't tell me that you and Jerry don't have an intimate relationship? I'm wondering now, would you like to provide a few intimate photos of you and Jerry for the film?"

"Stop, I'm against it, old James, you're misleading Mira, it's cheating!" Jerry immediately interjected.

Old James patted the table and said with a smile: "The objection is invalid, Mira, you don't have to watch Jerry, he is a selfish guy who doesn't understand the actual situation of American movies at all, and he doesn't understand the current movie-watching market." So I need you to tell him if there's a problem with my plan?"

"Uh, I ......" Director James Sr. really stumped Milla Jovovich, causing her to look at Jerry affectionately, and she didn't know how to answer.

In fact, Mira agrees with James Sr.'s arrangement, and the current Hollywood dramas have similar plots, especially those that focus on love, family and marriage, and the passion/love drama is an indispensable and important component of the film.

Some popular films have a fairly large proportion of scenes like this, although there are no too explicit close-ups after the release, but the shooting process inevitably involves shooting panoramas, and Mira herself has participated in similar works, when she was only 16 years old, still a minor.

Although she thinks so, but seeing Jerry so resolutely defend herself, Mira's heart is indescribably moved, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, she would have jumped into Jerry's arms as soon as possible and handed herself over to him without reservation, maybe only in this way can she express her infinite love for him.

After hesitating for a while, seeing that Director James was a little anxious, he couldn't help but ask again, Mira preemptively said: "I'm currently learning acting systematically, and I don't know how to make a good film, so ...... I listened to Jerry's arrangement. ”

Very clever in replying, she did the same as Gwyneth's, and kicked the ball to Jerry Donn.
