In the large conference room of the film and television base, John gathered all the crew members and held a small welcome ceremony for Ke Zihua.

"Let me introduce to you below, he is our action director, and he is also the assistant director of the film, Ke Zihua, a wonder boy from China"

The warmth of everyone made John's carefully prepared welcome speech not have a chance to say, and he was already jubilant as soon as he started.

Samuel, who is already very famous in Hollywood, has no struggling at all, so he saw him glaring at a pair of bull's eyes, clapping his hands and shouting: "Hey, Ke, well done, he captured the entire Wengehua Police Station in one minute!" ”

Ke Zihua knew that this was a compliment to him for saving face for the police station in front of reporters, so that the police officers were full of good feelings for the crew.

He smiled and nodded his head in thanks, and shouted at him in a thick voice: "Onceyoufamiliarizeyourselfwiththechainsofbondageyouprepareyourownlimbstowearthem."

(Once you get used to the shackles, you will actively stretch out your limbs to put them on). ”

This is a classic line from Samuel L. Jackson in the movie "Ace vs. Ace", and the other actors and crew also understood this sentence, and the atmosphere suddenly became more hot.

"Samuel, he loves your movies."

"Samuel, go and hug your fans."

"Wow, what a great day, I love you guys."

Samuel L. Jackson is a well-known black American actor and executive producer. The most well-known titles are Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, Ace vs. Ace, and Star Wars Prequels I, II, III, with also outstanding performances in Extreme Agent I, II, Kill Bill II, and Iron Man II.

"Aha, good boy, I like you!"

Hearing Ke Zihua say the classic lines in his movie in front of everyone, Samuel waved his hand happily, although he still looked fierce, but he was a little more cute.

After speaking, Ke Zihua was pulled into the crowd and introduced the crew members to him one by one.

Samuel first brought him to the black actress Vanessa, pointed at her and said, "I guess you already know who this beauty is, she is the pride of our black people, and it took a lot of effort for John to persuade her to join." ”

At this time, Vanessa has changed back into her daily clothes, looking more graceful and luxurious, with a unique pair of sea blue eyes, which is so fascinating.

Obviously, she also had a very good impression of Ke Zihua, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "The exterior shooting will be done in a few days, we are all looking forward to your wonderful performance, come on." ”

Ke Zihua said modestly: "Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard to do it, I believe it will not disappoint you." ”

Treating Vanessa, Ke Zihua is much more formal, as the first black star in history to win the Miss America crown, she enjoys a high reputation among the black community.

Vanessa Williams was born in New York, USA, and is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. The first Miss America of African ancestry, she has been selected as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" and "The Ten Most Beautiful Women in the United States", and her representative works include "Evaporation Order" and "Ugly Betty".

John let everyone be lively for a while, and then dismissed the other staff, leaving only the main creative staff to have a communication meeting. The filming work gradually unfolded, and he had to do a good job of coordinating all aspects.

"Everyone, except for Bell and White, who will arrive tomorrow, our people are basically here, I think we should also make arrangements for some things, so that we don't have to be in a hurry when we are about to shoot, so let's discuss the specific issues."

John first turned his gaze to Ke Zihua and said to him: "By Friday at the latest, the equipment, props and manpower needed for the location will be in place, which means that you will start working this weekend, what do you have to do about it?" ”

Ke Zihua is not stage frightened, although he has never been an action director before, he is very familiar with the filming process of action scenes, and he said after organizing the language: "First of all, we have to communicate with the municipal department, and we must go to the police station to file and ask them to help maintain order at the scene." ”

"Now that you've found a location for the location, you have to make sure that you don't get distracted by other factors during the shoot."

John nodded and agreed: "This really has to be put in the first place, we must not only communicate with them, but also with the local residents, let's start filming on Saturday tentatively." ”

"I asked the driver to pick you up at your place on Saturday morning, and as the creator of the movie, I should also give you a car, and now we have a lot of money, thanks to you."

Ke Zihua smiled shyly and continued: "The following is the problem of shooting, I want to look at the latest script and then determine how to shoot." ”

Soon, Ke Zihua finished reading the script, and then gave his own proposal: "Eleven sub-scenes (eleven groups of action sub-scenes)? It's still too much, at least three more have to be deleted, otherwise it will have an impact on the main plot and affect the quality of the whole film. ”

John hesitated for a long time before making up his final mind and said, "You decide, I choose to trust you." ”

Ke Zihua just said lightly: "Thank you." ”

Then he turned his gaze to the script in his hand, and after studying it carefully, he had to determine which superfluous scenes to delete.

This scene stunned Samuel, Vanessa and the other creators. Is this still the domineering John? When did he compromise with someone on set?

Even they were careful when talking to John on the set, not to mention the blatant request to delete the scene!

That's right, it's to delete the scene! It's countless times worse than changing the play!

This is not just a provocation to the director's authority, it is simply Chiguoguo's seizure of power!

Samuel's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at Ke Zihua, who was unresponsive, "It's incredible, how old is he?" Eighteen? Seventeen? Lao Tzu has been filming for so many years, and he has never met such a domineering assistant director, that is the famous 'powder keg' John! ”

Vanessa was also very surprised by the appearance of the two, knowing that there had never been an assistant director on the set, and it was the first time in her memory that she dared to make decisions for the director.

Ke Zihua didn't pay attention to other people's reactions, and he didn't care about these things, although he was familiar with some of the rules on the set before, but the current situation was different from what he had encountered before.

He just wants to do his best to make a good movie, and as for other issues, I believe John won't care, and even if he does, he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

After careful study, Ke Zihua crossed out three sub-shots that he thought were redundant, and then said: "Nine action scenes, I hope to be prepared accordingly before filming, John, you know I still have to go to school, so how about we focus on filming on the weekend?" ”

John shook his head and thought for a moment, and replied, "Yes, as long as it is properly arranged, I believe it will take two or three weekends to shoot." ”

Seeing Ke Zihua nodded in agreement, he continued: "In this way, I will do the coordination things, you just need to shoot." ”

This time, Ke Zihua gave John a bright smile,

"Thank you!"

There has never been a film where the director has to coordinate the work for the assistant director! Ke Zihua knew that John really valued it, so he would take the initiative to take these things.

Everyone watched them quietly, and the two of them said their thoughts to each other, and soon they would be recognized by the other party, and then a consensus would be reached on it.

"What the hell is he? How do you feel that he is the director? ”

"Is this the rhythm of turning the world upside down? Why is it so realistic, but I can't believe it? ”

"That's what it's called cooperation! This is called tacit understanding! ”

Soon all the action scenes were implemented, and although three more sets of shots were deleted, John did not regret it, but became more confident about the upcoming shooting.

Smooth communication and perfect cooperation also made him feel the power of communication for the first time, and this kind of cooperation made him feel comfortable in his heart.

"Perhaps, it was indeed me who was wrong before, look at how comfortable the calm communication is now, what kind of director's stinky shelf, let me get out of the way in the future."

The power of example is endless, and with Ke Zihua's precedent, everyone has expressed their thoughts in the most straightforward way. Surprisingly, this time John didn't get angry again, but humbly listened to everyone's opinions, and then calmly discussed with them.

As things were solved one by one, John's mind was no longer a mess, but he didn't expect that just because of Ke Zihua's arrival, an impromptu meeting was initiated, and many seemingly complicated things were perfectly solved.

After the meeting, John took Ke Zihua to his office, took out the checkbook, signed a check, and handed it to Ke Zihua: "This is your check, go back and rest for two days, you will be busy on the weekend." ”

Ke Zihua took the check with a smile and said: "That's how it is on the set, it seems that as long as you shoot a good movie, in fact, everything needs you to decide." ”

"Haha, if others understand me as well as you do, I think I will love this profession even more."

Ke Zihua was laughing with John, and glanced at the check in his hand, and then found that something was wrong: "Hey, John, this doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, right?" If someone else finds out, I'm afraid they will have an opinion about you. ”

His reaction was seen by John, and he couldn't help but be more satisfied with this partner. As a director, there will never be a shortage of actors and helpers, but I am afraid that most directors lack a good partner who can not only solve problems for him, but also always consider for him.

John smiled with a satisfied face: "This is what you deserve, the action director's salary has already signed a contract, that's all." ”

"The assistant director's is probably the same amount, but the rest can only wait until the filming is over, otherwise there will be real dissatisfaction."

"Find a time and bring your guardian to sign the contract."

Ke Zihua knew that this was John's intention to carry him, so he quickly straightened his body and said seriously: "Thank you!" ”

John nodded, and then said to him sincerely, "Thank you." ”
