After the shooting, before Shen Lian could leave his seat, his mobile phone rang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

An unfamiliar mobile phone number.

"Hello, I'm Gilbert." After greeting everyone, he walked out of the set and pressed the answer button.

"Hi Gilbert, I'm Christopher McCauley." A strong and powerful man's voice, with the momentum of a superior person. It is easy to tell that if a person has been in a high position for a long time, his words and deeds will unconsciously carry such a momentum.

Christopher McCauley, one of Paramount's most prestigious directors. In 1996, he won the 68th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 68th Academy Awards in 1996 and the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 49th British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards for "The Extraordinary Suspect".

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

According to the news from Paramount's senior J.J. Abrams, the director of "Mission Impossible 5" has been set as Macaulay.

"I don't know if Gilbert has time, I want to invite you to dinner at noon and discuss the matter of "Mission Impossible 5" together." McAuley said.

"There's time." Shen Lian agreed to Macaulay's invitation. The other party agreed to Shen Lian's suggestion before and invited Emma Watson to star in "Mission Impossible 5", which was quite face-saving, and Shen Lian also had a good impression of him.

The meeting place was a Western restaurant, and when he arrived, Macaulay was already waiting in a private room. There is something to discuss, so it is naturally inconvenient to be in the hall outside.

"Hello, Gilbert." After the meeting, Macaulay enthusiastically took the initiative to shake hands.

"Hello, Director Macaulay." Shen Lian also smiled enthusiastically.

After some pleasantries, the two took their respective seats.

"Gilbert is much younger than Tom." Macaulay looked at him and said.

Shen Lian, who was also looking at Macaulay, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then covered up the past with laughter.

Macaulay had previously worked with Tom Cruise on "Detective Jack" and "Edge of Tomorrow" with great success. It is precisely because of this that he was favored by Paramount and assigned him to shoot "Mission Impossible 5". However, the first time we met, I said this to my own face。。。。。。 Obviously a little out of place.

McCauley said: "The script of "Mission Impossible 5" has been basically completed, and I believe Gilbert has also read the story outline listed before, focusing on some details of the shooting. If you have any suggestions, we will also take them on board as appropriate. ”

As he spoke, he called the waiter in, stretched out his hand and asked Shen Lian to order.

Shen Lian casually ordered steak and fried foie gras, still pondering Macaulay's words in his head.

The attitude was very soft, and it felt like handing over all the dominance to Shen Lian.

Macaulay ordered a few more hearty meals and a bottle of red wine.

"No need for red wine!" Shen Lian opened his mouth and said, "I'll drive in a while." "Today he drove out on his own.

"Good!" Macaulay wasn't deliberately polite either.

"Thank you for supporting Emma and giving her the role of Isha Foster." Shen Lian said gratefully.

Just talking to Paramount's top brass on the phone and making his intentions clear, he got Macaulay's support.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't plan to invite her, she seemed to me to be a little girl. Ha ha. I'm more inclined to Rebecca Ferguson. McCauley said.

"What I'm trying to say is, like you, I can't afford to fail. Or the series "Mission Impossible" can't fail. Emma's popularity, very helpful to me. Shen Lian is not a good person, and he promised Emma Watson that he would let her star, completely because of Emma's own help in the movie, especially at the box office.

To put it mildly, don't look at Shen Lian who is very popular now, and his popularity is quite high all over the world, it doesn't matter how "Prisoner" and "Burst Drummer" hit the streets, even if "The Avengers" is rotten, it will not affect him much. But if "Mission Impossible 5" fails to meet expectations, it is difficult to say whether Shen Lian will have a chance to star in a big production in the future.

So from his point of view, even if he doesn't talk about his personal relationship with Emma Watson, just talk about the popularity that Emma Watson brings, he must support Emma.

This is also the reason why Macaulay agreed to Emma Watson to play the role of female agent Isa Foster in "Mission Impossible 4". He, like Shen Lian, can't afford to lose on "Mission Impossible 5". However, this time Mai Cowley also put forward his own request, and Shen Lian must not interfere in the casting of other characters.

Working with Tom Cruise on a movie is a crime. Not to mention the other party's big bag of work, it's all his credit for making money, and if he loses, he will change the director, but you can't complain, who makes the family the top brand of Paramount?

Shen Lian is relatively easy to talk a lot, and put forward a lot of his own suggestions for the movie, but in the end he still said that everything is decided by Macaulay, and he is just an actor.

Half an hour later, lunch ended, and the two said goodbye.

The meeting was basically a matter of taking what each side wanted. Shen Lian added a chip to the box office of his movie, and Macaulay received Shen Lian's support and could confidently and boldly carry out his casting work.

After that, Shen Lian went directly to the set for filming.

The filming conditions of "Burst Drummer" are actually relatively simple, or rather, simple and crude, with several major scenes, completely concentrated in a few practice rooms, and often appear in a practice room for filming, which is a situation of one or two days. In big male lead movies, relatively speaking, there are very few supporting roles.

Chazelle was constantly adjusting the camera position, and Shen Lian and Simmons were about to start seriously reviewing the content of the next movie that needed to be shot.

Tanner, the core drummer, tossed his score to Andrew for preservation, but Andrew lost it. When he walked in front of Fletcher, Tanner revealed the fact that he couldn't memorize the entire score, and Andrew cleverly seized the opportunity, recommended himself, and successfully completed the performance, replacing Tanner as the core drummer of the band.

This scene mainly describes the competition within the band, natural selection, the law of the jungle, as long as you work hard, you can get on the spot.

"Guys, are you ready, get ready to enter." Chazelle clapped his hands and said.

With an order, everyone began to prepare for filming, and Shen Lian and Simmons, as the protagonists, had already stood in their positions.

With Chazelle's shouting, the sound of playing boards sounded immediately, and the official shooting finally began.

On the set, Andrew looked embarrassed. Because of the loss of Tanner's score, and the fear of Fletcher's almost morbid harshness, Andrew was scared of what would happen.

"Tanner! you, where have you been? As he approached the stage and didn't see the core drummer yet, Fletcher habitually began to curse.

"Well, something went wrong." Tanner and Andrew walked over to Fletcher and explained.

"Oh, but now is not the time." Fletcher doesn't care if you don't have a problem. In his opinion, the drum core drummer can cope with any trouble. 、

"I gave the score to Andrew and he lost it for me." Tanner puts all the blame on Andrew.

"Did he lose it?"

"Hmm." Andrew bowed his head in shame.

"The sheet music is yours, what are you doing with him? You ask an SB to hold the calculator for you, and he can use it as a remote control to watch the TV. Although this sentence was addressed to Tanner, it also scolded Andrew as "SB" by the way: "Grab your drumsticks and roll me to the stage." ”

"I。。。。。 No way. Tanner said timidly.

"You... No way? Fletcher's eyes were full of contempt at this time, and he couldn't believe that someone actually said that he couldn't do it.

"I can't go on stage, I haven't memorized the score." Tanner was surprised to tell why. One of the core drummers didn't memorize his own score: "I need the score, that's my visual cue." ”

"NTM's is kidding me."

"With this health problem, I'm 。。。。。。。" Tanner stammered as he explained. Fletcher's nickname for the head of the Devil's Sect was not given for nothing, and he knew that he was now in a big situation.

"Health problems, you will die early, play the drum for Lao Tzu!"

"I can't 。。。。。"

"I can do it!" Andrew, who had not spoken, raised his head with a resolute look in his eyes.

Tanner and Fletcher both looked at Andrew, "Have you memorized the score?" ”

"Of course, I memorized it, and I remembered every beat." Andrew's long-term efforts were finally turned into an opportunity in this moment.

"Well, you'd better pray you'll remember, and play a lot better than you did in the last rehearsal. I'm not going to prepare, so I'm going to roll up and go home now, grab the hammer, and get on the platform! Roll it on!! ”

"This shot has passed!" Chazelle was excited and shouted.
