Kate was taken aback when she heard that he had a cold. ∈ ♀ the top of the novel, there were some signs last night, and she also reminded not to catch a cold, but she didn't expect to be hit. While he was resting, he called the crew doctor to take his temperature, the good guy was 42 degrees, and he was about to burn.

Everyone was shocked.

has a high fever of 42 degrees, and he is still so energetic to command the whole crew of hundreds of people to film.

In Hollywood, a big name like him, even if he has a slight problem, is eager to take leave and rest for ten days and a half months. Find the most professional nursing team to take care of you, and the level of money is comparable to that of the president. The most typical is Elizabeth Taylor of "Cleopatra", who delayed the crew for three years before and after filming that movie, and interrupted the start of work as many as five times. There are various reasons during the period, such as scandals, breakups, pregnancy, illness, drug abuse, and so on.

But now, Chen Tiandu has let everyone know his true colors as a "workaholic".

What is called workaholic, this is workaholic.

Kate was angry that he was so stubborn and didn't take his body seriously. Everyone is persuading him to take a break. But at this time, it is the same for anyone to persuade them.

Once the "workaholic" exerts its strength, ten cows will not be able to pull it back. He is dripping, and he has to insist on finishing the filming of this barren mountain and wild range.

But the misfortune is not a one-way street, not long after filming, a few strangers walked into the crew. Due to his concentration on filming, Chen Tiandu did not learn about this in time, and when he was reminded by Cage, he found that the group was negotiating fiercely with Cage. Cage looked like a defeated rooster and whispered to discuss.

"What's wrong?"

"It's from the Screen Actors Guild." Aiman Dao.

"What are they doing here?"

In North America, unions are a cute and annoying existence, such as the Screen Actors Guild. After the actor is eligible to pay the dues to join. As long as there is a need. The actors' union will come forward to protect their rights and interests, and if the crew is reported to harm the interests and personal safety of the actors, they will also come forward to investigate. Although many times, the Screen Actors Guild will turn a blind eye to some large crews violating the rules, but once they are targeted, it is definitely not a good thing.

Two trade union members found Chen Tiandu and found him sitting behind the monitor with a drip hanging on his hand, and couldn't help but admire. Think of the purpose of your coming. I felt embarrassed again.

"Mr. Chen, we are investigators from the Screen Actors Guild. Someone reported that your crew was suspected of working severe overtime, working more than twelve hours a day. Moreover, there are many dangerous shots, but the safety and security facilities are very simple. We have been instructed to come and investigate, and we ask for your cooperation. ”

Chen Tiandu opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

He admitted to working overtime, and at most he would pay an additional amount of overtime pay.

The key is that he was too anxious to shoot, how could the security work be so detailed.

There are not many people who use Weiya to hang it up and shoot it in Hollywood, not to mention the people who shoot it, even those who watch it are terrified. This kind of thing is in the country. That's not a problem at all, but he's in Hollywood now. It doesn't matter who reported it. The entire crew is thousands of people. You can't ask everybody to be with you. They are also thinking about their own rights and interests, can you blame them?

Very simply, the crew has temporarily stopped working.

It is impossible to continue until the current situation is resolved. Even Paramount came forward for public relations.

Chen Tiandu was so happy that he couldn't hold on anymore, and his sickness was undoubtedly manifested all of a sudden. Kate was happy and escorted him back to rest. He's gone, but the crew can't really stop working. Contact Paramount and let them figure it out. If even Paramount can't handle the Screen Actors Guild, it won't be useful for him to follow behind.

Not long after the injection, Shirley Lansing called in person, "Hollywood is full of reports that the crew of "Van Helsing" was forced to stop by the actors' union. What do you think? ”

Chen Tiandu was silent for a moment, and said indifferently: "Who is behind the ghost?" ”

Shirley Lansing was also dry, "Disney, Fox, DreamWorks." Disney's "Finding Nemo", "Agent 3D: Game Over"; Twentieth Century Fox Shaun Connelly starring in "Fallen from the Sky" and Cameron screenwriting "Terminator 3"; There are also "Hulk", "Jedi Men 2", "Legally Blonde 2", "Fake Celestial", and "X-Men 2" all collide with the three blockbusters you packaged and launched. Of course, there is also our Paramount movie "Tomb Raider 2" and so on. Young people, the water in Hollywood is very deep, and you still have a lot to learn. ”

Kate listened from the side, and Chen Tiandu did not evade. Hearing so many dark things, she couldn't help but open her mouth, feeling deeply helpless.

"......" Chen Tiandu was silent again for a moment and then said, "I know." Anyway, the Actors Guild has a little bit of help from Paramount and helps us get it done. If you really do what the union asks, you don't know how much more it will cost. The sooner you finish, the more you save an investment. I think you Paramount would love to see that too. ”

After hanging up the phone, he felt more and more the importance of a person like Shirley Lansing. In this respect, Peck is clearly a cut behind.

Rubbing his forehead, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The steps were too big, and now I feel like I'm pulling eggs.

Kate comforted him, "Hani, I think you're thinking too much. These reports are insignificant, and the hype will stop after a while. ”

"No, their purpose is not to attack "Van Helsing", after all, "Van Helsing" has not even set a schedule. They are trying to inhibit the development of the matrix. This is a signal. Now that it is suppressed, it is time to buy the next one. Chen Tiandu was very familiar with these tricks, and he felt that he couldn't sit still, so he stood up suddenly, "Kate, let's go back to the United States." ”

"Can your body bear it, can't it be a few days late?"

Chen Tiandu grinned, "It's too late, just to face the difficulties." ”

……

The day after Chen Tiandu returned to Los Angeles, a positive response began to appear in the media.

Hugh Jackman rolled in the air on the cliffs, fell into the water and swam in the ice river with ice cubes, Kate rolled in the snow and grabbed rattan and strangled her hands, and Chen Tiandu had a high fever of 42 degrees and wanted to hang a bottle to insist on shooting.

refute those tabloids that "the crew disregards human life and jokes with the lives of actors". At most, it is a real-life shooting, which is too difficult to shoot and a little more dangerous. Everyone shoots too hard, and sometimes they forget to eat and work overtime. The overtime part will be subsidized three times the overtime pay according to the regulations. Peck said, "We will negotiate with the insurance company to add another insurance contract for the stuntman." It's a response to the actors' union.

The matrix is well done, and with Paramount's public relations, the Actors' Guild will be in moderation, you can't let them spread Simmons in the barren mountains.

However, the successive exposures of the film made fans suddenly pay attention to "Van Helsing", which had basically no impression before.

Looking at the stills that flowed out, there are still poss battles on the mountains and cliffs, which seems to be very fantastical and exaggerated. If you just look at the poster, you will feel that this drama is very selling, and the special effects will not be bad.

"Maybe it's another box office hit."

Such a toss made the index of "the audience want to watch" begin to rise. The number of fans gathered on the Van Helsing website on the official website of the matrix has also begun to increase.

On the other hand, he came back to review the finished films of "Fast and Furious 2" and "Captain America".

The former is under great pressure, after all, there is a super record of the first series filmed by Chen Tiandu to break 900 million US dollars at the global box office, Lin Yibin did not want to exceed this record, so he can only do it without losing the quality of this brand. With great effort, it has been filming for half a year, including preparation and post-production, and it will be a proper year and a half. It is only now that the film has been produced.

The story is what happened after the first part, and the Speed family ushered in a new challenge, and it was still Dwayne Johnson who came to the door. The police and bandits joined forces to crisscross the five countries, using competitions, fights and explosions to smash a huge conspiracy.

After Chen Tiandu finished watching it, he discussed a few details with the main creative team, exercised his ultimate editing right, and asked for re-editing and modification.

"It's too long, 148 minutes, and there are a few indoor episodes in the middle that can be cut as appropriate. It's best to compress the feature content to less than 120 minutes. The pacing can be a little tighter, and some shots are actually only 0.5 seconds enough. No, don't talk about it in too much detail, the audience can understand it......"

"Highlight the 'family friendship', is there more Li Jiaxin's shots, cut more for her......"

He said a lot of things in a big way, which made Lin Yibin's scalp tingle. Editor Naos kept nodding, "It doesn't seem to be a big problem, it can be completed in a week." Chen, rate the movie, how much do you think the box office is qualified. ”

Everyone looked at him expectantly, Chen Tiandu pinched his chin, and said: "Given that this is Lin's first blockbuster, to be conservative, breaking 200 million in North America and 600 million US dollars in the world is already a successful completion of the task." ”

"Ah, only 600 million!" This time it's Peck's turn to catch his head, "Will it be too little, the first part is 900 million." Or you might as well evaluate it a little more. ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Don't be too greedy, don't put too much pressure on Justin." He shook hands with Lin Yibin again, "You have done a good job, at least let everyone see your progress." ”

"Thank you." Lin Yibin's whole person lost weight, and he felt indescribably sad. When I first filmed with Chen Tiandu, I didn't think he was very powerful. Now it's my turn to do it, and I know how difficult it is. Chen Tiandu finished making such a powerful movie, and it only took less than three months, and it took him half a year just to shoot, and the funds were more sufficient.

Everything is afraid of comparison, and when you compare, you will know how bad you are.

"I still need to work harder." (To be continued......)
