"This role is not easy to come by, you should cherish it more! If you anger Cesare, it won't do you any good, and Mr. Smith is even calling me to ask what the hell is going on with you!"

The agent's expression was a little hideous, Laura swept the things on the makeup table, and in the sound of 'clanging', all kinds of cosmetics and styling things were pushed to the ground by her, the powder box was broken, and the delicate loose powder floated out, spreading all over her feet.

She shook her foot in disgust and lifted the hem of her skirt:

"Send that damn Chinese woman away, she'll definitely do it to me!"

When Jiang Se was filming the scene of 'Burning People' that day, Lao pulled his hands and feet, which led to serious consequences, making Jiang Se cover his face and head these days, coupled with rumors in the crew, which made Laura believe that Jiang Se's face was ruined on her own hands.

The triumph of the previous days turned into uneasiness as she learned that Jiang Se would not leave Modena for the time being, and would even stay in Italy for a while.

Especially Jiang Se's eyes, as if he wanted to seek revenge on her, which made her even more worried.

"I can't shoot Jack in this scene today!" she couldn't shake off the loose powder on her feet, she took it off in anger and slammed it the dressing table.

The shoes slammed into the mirror and landed on the dressing table, and her face turned red in the mirror:

"This Chinese woman, she wants to take revenge on me, do you see it, in today's scene, she will also ruin my face!"

As soon as she finished saying this, the agent angrily grabbed her arm and lifted her up, Cesare had already said in advance, the cold winter scene in "God's Redemption" must be filmed before February, it is already early January, the weather and machine problems have caused the filming to not go well, it has been postponed, Laura said not to shoot at this time, even if she doesn't shoot for a day, it can't delay the crew's progress, but Cesare will vent all the anger accumulated during this time on her head!

The role of Lannie was won by the agency at a great cost, "If you anger Cesare, you are kicked out of the crew, and when you go back, Mr. Smith's anger, I don't think you can bear it!"

"No matter what happens today, you have to cheer up for this scene. When Jack said this, he cursed:

"I already warned you at the beginning, don't be mischievous, that Chinese girl's character, I thought you had learned a lesson on the first day!"

On the day of the start-up, Laura humiliated herself, proving that Jiang Se was not easy to provoke, Laura still wanted to provoke again, and now that people have not done anything, she has been greatly affected, and if it continues like this, she will not be able to calm down and concentrate on shooting.

"Listen to me. After the agent finished his anger, he took a deep breath and motioned for Laura to take a deep breath with him, trying to calm down:

"Because of your previous actions, we have to be a little more wary of her, so the inspection of fire extinguishers, protective clothing, asbestos thermal clothing and fire oil will be carefully checked, and she will not be given the slightest chance, you should trust me. ”

Laura quickly remembered that on the day of Jiang Se's shooting, her agent had also repeatedly checked the filming equipment and equipment, but in the end, she still found the loophole.

"She was a friend of Cesare's, and Cesare kept her down, probably to get her revenge. We can't risk Jack, and I think I'd have to find a stand-in to do it for me. ”

When she said this, she seemed to have found an excellent solution, and she was relieved.

The movie was prepared for three days for this shooting.

If Shireen's death was the prelude to Andre's opening of the door of desire, then this scene is the key point that opened the whole play of "God's Redemption", and Cesare was very concerned.

The shooting time was set for 9 o'clock in the evening, and the crew members began to set up the scene in the morning, the ice and snow and cliff trails were all ready, the props were ready, the cameras were in place, Cesare checked again and again to make sure that nothing was lost, but Laura came with the news that she was not feeling well today and could not shoot, and hoped to use a stand-in to complete the special shot.

After Laura's assistant came over to finish speaking, he originally thought that Cesare's thunderous anger would be ushered in, but Cesare just smiled coldly:

"In today's scene, I don't think it's necessary to use a stand-in. ”

In the case that all the members of the crew were ready, but only three times, Laura was not ready.

"Since filming, everyone on the crew has been filming in the cold weather, and if Laura Brown is not feeling well, there is a doctor on the crew and an ambulance can be contacted at any time. ”

If Cesare was angry, the assistant could still bear it, but he held back his anger at this time, leaving the assistant speechless.

Laura hadn't put on the protective suit yet, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still more than an hour before the shooting time, and once it was delayed, today's shooting plan had to be postponed again.

The situation was deadlocked, and Jiang Se sat on the sidelines, watching Jack anxiously communicate with Cesare, holding back a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Laura's agent kept biting the corners of her mouth while talking to Cesare, and sometimes looked at Jiang Se's side, with a helpless look on her face.

While he was watching The Prisoner, he was paying attention to where Jack and Cesare were, pricking up his ears to capture the conversation between them.

"Mr. Cesare, I know you are very embarrassed about this matter, but please believe me, Laura did not mean to do this, but she is very sensitive to fire, I hope you can understand......"

Jack's words did not soften Cesare's attitude, he was very tough, and even after hearing Jack's words, his tone showed an undisguised sarcasm:

"Oh yes?" he asked rhetorically, "I thought that Miss Brown had already read this question in the script we had passed down to her, and that her character had 'died' from sacrifice and was engulfed in fire, so could it be that the staff had made a mistake in cutting out this important part of Miss Laura's script?"

"Of course there is no ......"

Jack's expression looked a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly said:

"But I think there is also a clause in the contract between us, in special circumstances, Laura can use a stand-in, sir, I don't think it violates the principle, right?"

"Yes, but as you know, it's in exceptional circumstances, and in fact I don't think it's special. ”

Cesare's expression was already very impatient, "Before filming this scene, there were other actors in the crew who had also filmed this scene. Cesare turned his head to look at Gance as he said this:

"So what other questions are there?"

Speaking of which, Jack spread his palms a little helplessly, comparing his posture of obedience:

"OK, OK, I'll talk to Laura again. ”

He turned away in a somewhat decadent manner, and when he came out of the dressing room again ten minutes later, Laura was also beside him, he hung his head, and it was clear that the communication with Laura had not been smooth this time.

After Laura came out, the atmosphere of the crew was tense, Cesare sat in a chair, Jiang Se was also sitting in a bunch of staff, her agent and assistant were not beside her, Laura's eyes fell on her, clenched her teeth, and looked at her hatefully for a long time before she looked away.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Cesare, but I can still hope that you will allow me to use a double to complete this scene. ”

Cesare slowly turned his head, with a stern expression on his face, and Laura was a little uneasy, but still expressed her will:

"I know that the crew had already filmed the scene of 'Burning People' before, and the actors didn't use stand-ins, but it was precisely because of this that she was injured, didn't it?"

She took a deep breath, and the prop master of the crew saw Cesare's expression and hurriedly came over to explain:

"Miss Brown, when Miss Jiang filmed Shireen's scene before, it was actually an accident, and the injury was not so serious, and the crew doctor also dealt with it afterwards, if it is not suitable for filming again, I think Director Cesare will definitely find other ways to deal with it. ”

The pyrotechnician also goes on to assure that:

"What's more, we have also learned the lessons, the protective clothing, heat insulation clothing, fire oil, etc. have been checked again, absolutely no problems, I guarantee that the last accident will not occur a second time, and even according to the process, the flame will not even burn a single hair of you." ”

Such a guarantee was difficult to reassure Laura, especially when Jiang Se sat on the side, smiling inexplicably, and the malice in her eyes made Laura even more worried, making her even more resistant to the next scene.

No matter what the crew said, she insisted on not filming this scene, and promised to shoot more seriously and hard in every subsequent scene:

"I know the terms of the contract, and Jack explained it to me, but I think there are always exceptions to a lot of things, and not everything needs to be regulated. ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Jiang Se:

"For example, people who have already finished filming all the scenes should have left the crew, but they still sat there in a good manner. ”

Laura is targeting Jiang Se, and everyone in the crew is watching it at this time.

The contradiction between her and Jiang Se, many people in the crew have actually heard about it, and many people have discussed Laura's humiliation in front of Carol Borgia, one of the heads of the investors, in private on the day of the start-up, but the two actresses at least maintained a superficial calm, and did not tear their faces in public and cause a scandal.

At this time, Laura's words made some people quite embarrassed, and as Laura's finger came over, the people nearby turned their heads to Jiang Se, Jiang Se took it, and before he could make a sound, Cesare smiled and said:

"As an actress, Jiang has already finished filming Shireen's part, but as a friend, I very much welcome her here. ”

His smile narrowed little by little, and his gaze slowly sharpened:

"Miss Brown, didn't your agent tell you that there are no exceptions in my place, and that I am the rule?"

The atmosphere became a little stiff because of Cesare's words, and Jack was a little embarrassed, and picked up his phone several times, trying to find an intermediary to comfort Cesare and ease the atmosphere.

He found the assistant director appointed by the roundabout company in the crew and whispered to him to help say a few words, and after a while, Jiang Ser noticed the sound of a mobile phone vibrating from the pocket of Cesare's assistant's clothes.

Everyone was immersed in the dispute, and they didn't notice that Jiang Se lowered his voice and whispered his name, which attracted his attention, Jiang Se pointed to his clothes pocket and gestured to answer the phone.

The assistant suddenly realized, opened his mouth, and silently thanked Jiang Se, he picked up the phone and walked away, and quickly turned back to Cesare's side:

"It's Mr. Borgia. ”

Cesare gestured to pause the conversation, picked up his phone and walked into the corner.

The look on his face was not very good, and it was clear that the conversation with the head of the investor on the other end of the phone was not pleasant.

From what the group of people discussed just now, Jiang Se probably heard the crux of the contradiction between the two sides.

Laura did it to herself during the filming of the scene of "Burning People" a few days ago, which caused her to be "seriously burned", so after Jiang Se finished filming all the scenes belonging to Shirin, she did not leave the crew as she wished, but stayed, waiting for her to also shoot the scene of "Burning People", she was naturally worried that Jiang Se would 'take revenge' on her and do something in this scene, so she refused to shoot this scene and asked to use a stand-in in this scene.

But Cesare rejected her proposal, shooting such a special scene, in addition to the courage of the actors, the double also needs to have a strong psychological quality.

This Hollywood sweetheart is very resistant to the scene of "Burning", even if she has a stand-in similar to her, she is worried at this time.

The crew has professional male stand-ins, and there are also thin ones, but the figures of men and women can be distinguished even by the back.

Especially in such special shooting conditions, it is necessary to wear heat insulation clothing, and the requirements for the actor's body shape are even more stringent.

Laura, as the female lead, in order to conform to Lannie's character in "God's Redemption", Cesare made her lose fifteen pounds at the beginning of filming, so that her image is more in line with Lannie's slender and weak appearance in the original play, and at the same time, she is very different from men in terms of body shape.

Even if the shooting environment was at night, with the cover of night and post-retouching, it was difficult to escape the eyes of sharp critics and discerning audiences after the film was released, and Cesare could not have made concessions for Laura's fears.

His attitude was very tough, and even if someone from the investor called to explain the situation, he still did not mean to be moved.

At this time, Jiang Se sat in the corner, from the beginning of the revenge Laura Brown's malicious teasing, to now her heart is beating like a drum, no one knows how eager she is under the calm surface at this time, how eager her heart is, Laura refuses to shoot the scene of 'burning', Cesare's insistence on the substitute, so that she seems to see a faint opportunity, like a half-hidden door, slowly unfold the whole picture in front of her, step forward to push it away, or step back and close it tightly?

In Jiang Se's mind, there was almost no need to think about how to choose.

She straightened her collar, licked her lips, put down the script at hand, and stood up:

"I thought, if Miss Brown can't find a suitable stand-in, I think maybe I can. ”
