The next day, the set welcomed the heroine Laura Linney, a mature woman who smiles and feels very elegant and calm, and is relatively easy-going. Off-Broadway is a mixed place, and as an off-Broadway actress, Linnie has long cultivated her own set of interpersonal skills in that competitive place, so she won the favor of most people on the set not long after entering the set.

Maybe it's because her smile is always very sincere and demure, or maybe it's because her always just right jokes make people not have the slightest impression of being slick at all, so some people on the set will also jokingly warn her not to be scared by Theorod for a while.

And Theolod was a warm man who didn't have any frame in his previous life, and was humble and polite, and he didn't show any signs of pride or annoyance when he was ridiculed at the moment, but made a grimace at Linny very cooperatively.

"Yes, I'm scary, be careful not to have nightmares."

"Well, I just hope you don't strangle me to death then, or you'll be the one who has nightmares."

Linnie laughed. Because there was a scene in their later rivalry scene where Alan, played by Theolod, was provoked by the female prosecutor played by Linnie to become Roy and attacked the other party, so she said this.

"Trust me, Roy can be gentle, too." Theolod winked at her and smiled slightly.

The courtroom set was set up beforehand, and the crew could start filming immediately after moving the studio. Director Gregory couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw that Linnie and Theolod were getting along well. As a newcomer, he is too much of a newcomer. The average newcomer will always cringe and stay quietly when he meets a big-name star, but what about Theorod? He had long been in tune with the people on the set.

After Hallie put on makeup and styling a few people, the next day's filming officially began.

As all "ill-intentioned" people expect, even after being reminded a few times, Linnie was still frightened by Theorod, who completely got rid of his usual easy-going and warm image once he entered the play, and forgot the words, which made Richard, who also forgot the words because of Theorod's domineering acting skills, finally balanced his heart.

"Haha, don't blame me for not being a gentleman, but you're welcome to join us, Janet." Afterwards, Richard patted Linny on the shoulder.

"We've got another layer of friendship on top of our former boyfriend and girlfriend status, Martin." Linnie said she probably heard about Richard's tragedy yesterday from other staff members.

"My poor Janet, but Roy is still going to 'scare' you well, you'd better be prepared." Gregory was "gloating" on the sidelines, "Are you ready?" Good, Roy? Oh, I don't have to ask you, you seem to be ready all the time, so what are we waiting for? Field affairs, what are you still doing? Get out of my shot, get back in place, Janet, stand up...... Very good reads;. ”

Gregory raised his hand and gestured to three-two-one.

“！”

Theorod, who had never left his state, immediately stepped into the role, and almost instantly became the fierce Roy, and the moment Janet turned around, he jerked off the microphone on the table.

"Are you done,, who told you to leave?!"

In the next second, Roy unexpectedly propped up the table with one hand, jumped quickly and lightly from behind the seat, and made two steps to Janet's back, his left hand clasped her left arm behind him, and his right hand quickly hooked her neck.

"You bitch!" Roy's angry voice appeared in Janet's ear, "You think you're great? No, I'll let you know how self-righteous and lowly you are! ”

This guy changed his words again...... Gregory's assistant looked down at the script, and then looked up at the director next to him, who was still excited as if he had seen a prostitute or guest of the best beauty...... Hey, the assistant sighed, but decided that it was better not to say anything.

The incident happened suddenly, and the group actors who played bailiffs around them reacted after a few seconds and surrounded Roy, who was in a riot, but Roy, who was about to blackmail Janet at this moment, suddenly raised his voice and roared like a mad dog: "Get out of here!" Did you hear that?! ”

This group of dedicated group performers showed their hesitation at the right time, because the prisoners had hostages in their hands.

But Roy lowered his voice again at this time, and lowered his head close to Janet's ear, his lips were almost close to her ears, and the slight opening and closing of his lips rubbed her ears a little numb, and the slightest heat blew in her ears, like a whisper of sympathy for the world—

"Do you know what I want to do to you? I will torment you, I will strip you naked, one by one, and then I will tie you to the cross, and set before you a mirror that all women love, and yes, I will mercifully make you watch, my beauty, and watch how the sharp blade pierces your skin and enters your flesh. You won't die so easily, I swear, dear, I'll make Alan look at you with your last breath, what do you think he's going to do when you stare at him with a terrified and longing gaze? He'll just come to me crying, and then I'll give you one last stab......"

When Roy said this sentence in Janet's ear with a hint of ostentation in a gentle tone of love words, Linnie didn't feel any heart-pounding ambiguity, her body trembled uncontrollably, goosebumps bubbled out layer after layer, and the whole person seemed to fall into an ice cellar, forgetting to resist.

Yes, just like Theolod said before, Roy can also be very "gentle", compared to directly breaking Martin's forehead before, Roy at this moment is indeed much gentle, but it gives people a more terrifying deterrent than before.

Besides, the arm he was holding around Janet's neck didn't relax at all.

Janet was stupid, the group performance as a bailiff was stupid, and even the staff on the side, Martin and the doctor, who should have stepped forward to wake Roy, were stupid.

“cut！ What are you doing? Waiting for Roy to strangle Janet? It's in court! Martin, doctor, you're going to have to get Alan back! And Janet, are you going to be pinched and threatened by Roy like this, and you don't want to resist? Aren't you going to cry out for help? Come again and again! Gregory waved his hand, but there was no impatience on his face, only more excitement. He thought that Theolod's performance yesterday would be a qiē, but he didn't expect that he could still surprise him!

With the director's reminder, this film was finally filmed, and the doctor's scene was over, but in view of the heavy role of the courtroom, the crew still stayed in this studio for the next few days.

The day after Frances McDorman left the set, executive producer Howard Miller, who was too busy to join the crew on the day of filming, finally appeared. He was sent by producer Hawk Koch to be responsible for the operational planning and cost allocation of Fear of the First Degree.

No matter where you are, the conflict between the director and the producer is not a day or two, and no director likes to have someone on the side to remind him of the cost and time problems when he is making a movie, and he doesn't want others to tell him which picture should be filmed and which one should not be filmed. As the representative of the producer, the producer is generally on the side of the investor, and he certainly does not want the director to spend money everywhere or arbitrarily change the shooting schedule.

So even though Gregory and Hawke had a friendly relationship, the moment Howard showed up and began to point fingers at his work, he still didn't give each other a good look.

"What?! You did a four-day volume in two days?! Are you sure you're doing a good job? We don't need to rush, we have plenty of time, and of course, I don't want to see you delay. When Howard learned about the filming progress, his voice could be heard even by Theorod, who was sitting on the sidelines drinking water and resting.

Then he saw that Gregory's face was a little unsightly, and the director, who was still good at talking in his impression, had a cold face and said a few words, and Howard didn't seem to believe it at all, and he was also a little displeased.

"Don't you understand that the main character of this film is Richard Gere? We're promoting Richard, not the newcomer who hasn't even made a movie, no matter how talented he is. He has no box office appeal, and now he can't sell it, what you should take care of is Richard's scenes and shots, he is the big name in this film, understand? He is paid even more than you! ”

Theolod said that it was fortunate that Richard was not here now, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to hear this.

Gregory was also angry at the moment: "I know! But at the moment it's me and not you who are called the director, producer, I know how to make a good movie! ”

"Tong guò over-praises a newcomer? Do you know how much pressure we're going to have if Richard protests? The media out there are waiting to see our jokes! ”

"He won't, he's a dedicated actor, and he can respect the powerful actors he works with......"

"Theo, come here, you need to change into a formal suit for court."

Before Theorod, who was sitting on the sidelines, watched the battle between director and producer, Hallie's assistant ran to pull him away, so much so that he didn't know how the conflict ended. When he changed his clothes and put on makeup and came back, Howard seemed to stop a little, and listened to the director's assistant say that Gregory really didn't want to quarrel with the brain-dead, so he directly pasted him with the film of the previous two days and asked him to watch it for himself.

The assistant was also going to comfort Theorod a few words, but Theorod shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, do you think the contradiction between the director and the producer is over?" No, their contradictions are not only me, just look at them, they won't stop until the end of the shooting, this is a must-have onlooker project on every set. ”

"......" the assistant director said, child, is it really okay for you to be so black-bellied.

Theolod was right, Howard couldn't find trouble with Gregory on him after fully knowing his strength, and began to shift the target again, why did the group find so many people but no quality, why did one enough equipment rent three, and a series of problems were overwhelming, smashing Gregory's head to blow up, and he began to miss the two days of freedom and happiness before.

And Theorod is just an actor, he doesn't have as many headaches as Gregory, he just needs to play the role well. In fact, he only has two scenes left, one is the rivalry scene between Allen and Martin when the truth is revealed at the end of the film, and the other is an outdoor scene where people kill and escape.
