Chapter 48: Long Shot Shootout
Jude told Jason Statham and Pooh Jones to go to the conference room first, and after seeing them off, he immediately cared about something else.
"Has Ayman Ruhr arrived?"
He stopped a passing staff member to ask about the situation, but the other party was at a loss after listening.
"Director Locke asked our cinematographer." Luthor, the set decorator, couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.
The staff member reacted at this time, pointed to a room on the right, and said, "Mr. Niemann just picked up a person from the airport, I wonder if it is the Aiman Ruhr you are looking for?" ”
Jude left the staff member behind and walked to the room, and Luthor quickly followed, wanting to see what the photographer Jude had been waiting for for so long was.
In the room, Aiman Ruhr was carrying a new Sony camera to familiarize himself with various operations, and when the camera was pointed at the door, Jude pushed the door in.
Jude stopped in front of the camera and asked with a smile, "How is it, do you like this machine?" ”
Ayman Ruhr was not too heavy, so he carried the camera and chatted with Jude.
"It seems that you did get a lot of money from the new line company, and you actually equipped it with such a machine, I dare say that the picture quality shot with it is definitely ten times better than "This Man is from Earth"."
"You can use it easily, come, let me introduce you, this is the set designer of the crew, Luthor."
Jude gestured to Luther, who was standing behind him.
Eman Ruhr put down the camera and shook Luther's hand, and the two exchanged a few words politely.
Jude took Ayman Ruhr's shoulders and pulled the Mexican aside.
"Everything went well when you came over, right?"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, this is the first time I have taken a plane to enjoy the treatment of first class, is there still such a thing when I go back?" Aiman Ruhr asked jokingly.
Jude shrugged, "Of course, but only if you pay for it yourself." ”
Ayman Rulbai was overjoyed, and then asked about the specific preparations for the film.
"The filming venue and actors have all been completed, and this shooting should be easier than last time, after all, all the professional actors are found."
Emman Ruhr wasn't so easy to deceive, and immediately asked Jason Statham and Winnie Jones what was going on.
Jude didn't explain why, only said that it was a plot need.
Aiman Ruhr pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do this time?"
"There is a scene in the movie where two gangsters fight each other, and I want to shoot all this in one long shot, and you can help me figure it out."
"Long shot again?" Aiman Ruhr frowned, he still remembers the last filming of "This Man from Earth", not to mention the hard work in the previous rehearsals, just that the shooting was mixed with a lot of luck, and it is absolutely impossible to go so smoothly again.
Jude has now proposed to shoot with long shots, and although not the whole play is like this, Ayman Ruhr can't help but worry.
"Three minutes, fixed from the perspective of one person, show the whole picture of the entire gangster's fighting...... Rest assured, I'm not hot-headed, it's definitely a viable idea, the point is that the shooting involved this time is more complicated, so I need you to give me some more professional advice. ”
Looking into Jude's earnest eyes, Emmanrull knew that this was another offer that could not be refused.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Jude looked at his watch, and without raising his head, he said, "There should be all the people in the conference room, let's go over too, and by the way, I will introduce you to our lighting engineer and recording engineer." ”
With that, he walked out the door.
Emmanruel and Luther, who had remained in the room, glanced at each other, and both saw a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
When encountering Jude, an independent and special director, both of them can only consider themselves unlucky.
Walking into the conference room, Jude immediately felt that many pairs of eyes were looking at him, because they were all acquaintances, and he didn't bother to greet everyone again, so he introduced Aiman Ruhr, who had just joined the crew, when he entered the door.
After Emmanruel and Luthor sat down, Jude scanned the conference room and noticed something interesting.
The crew on this side of the crew all sat on the right, and the actors all sat on the left, and the most embarrassing were Jason Statham and Winnie Jones, because they didn't match each other, so they could only sit alone in the middle.
Both knew they were isolated, and Winnie Jones reacted with dismissiveness, but Jason Statham had a little worry in his eyes.
Jude watched quietly for a while, and then had the script sent to everyone.
The crew got a plot synopsis in a unified format, and the scripts sent to each actor were different, some only had a few pages, and some had a thick stack.
Winnie Jones got the script in his hands much thinner than Jason Statham next to him, which made him feel slighted.
"Why is my script different from someone else's?" He stood up and asked loudly.
Seeing Jude's face sank, Jason Statham knew that something bad was going to happen, and before he could stand up and dissuade him, Jude had already spoken.
"Mr. Jones, does the head coach at Wimbledon allow you to interrupt like this when he is setting up his tactics?"
Not to be outdone, Pooh-Jones pushed back, "This is not a football stadium, and I am not your subordinate, I just want to ask why I have fewer scripts than others?" ”
"Pooh, calm down!" Jason Statham stood up and tried to push Pooh Jones back into his seat, but was violently pushed away by the other party.
"You don't care about me, I just want to figure out why we are treated differently? Just because the two of us haven't acted before, you can look down on us? ”
The resentment that Pooh Jones had accumulated exploded at this moment.
Everyone else in the room was silent, and most of them looked at Jude.
Jude stared at Winnie-Jones for a few seconds, if it weren't for the words he just shouted at everyone in the conference room, Jude would definitely have kicked people out immediately in order to maintain his authority in the crew, but now Jude was not prepared to do so.
He found that he had looked away before, and he always thought that Winnie Jones had no brains, but he didn't expect this guy to be the one who hid the deepest, and his seemingly vexatious behavior pointed to a major hidden danger in the current crew, that is, internal disunity.
The intentional or unintentional rejection of those professional actors, as well as the contempt from the crew, will make Winnie Jones and Jason Statham troublesome in the following days, and the only person who can help them solve this problem is Jude.
Winnie Jones jumped out in such a hurry, in fact, he wanted Jude to give them a promise in public.
To be the captain of a team like Wimbledon, you can't play a little dressing room politics, and now Winnie Jones has taught Jude a lesson with his own practical actions.
