Chapter 336: The Taste of Power

Daniel and Rob. While Marshall was talking, the set crew was setting up a cauldron surrounded by flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits.

It is a ritual of eating a living person raw.

Daniel needed to sit in it and shoot first, then the people came out, lit the fire and filmed, and finally the post-production was put together.

Marshall said that he was going to burn hot spots, of course, a joke.

Daniel looked around, and Orlando and Kayla's chairs were on the other side. It's very interesting except for Daniel. Sandler, the rest of the actors are in other places, but he, Marshall and Bruckheimer are together, and when they are usually off work, Daniel is mostly chatting with Marshall and discussing how to shoot.

Although he was also an investor and quite famous when he made the first part, he did not have this kind of natural treatment.

Hollywood is of course the first interest, who has more power, then who has more privileges, but it also needs time to ferment, not to mention, in 2004 and 2005, Daniel did a lot of things, and many people had to change their eyes on him. Marshall can still talk and laugh with him, which is determined by the director's position, not to mention that Marshall is not ambitious, he shoots several films a year, so MGM and DD can do very little to him. But Orlando and Kayla are very different, they talk more about Miller and Deshar, and rarely joke with Daniel more than they did in the first filming.

Daniel is truly special.

Before him, there had never been such a person.

is not only a legendary superstar, but also a figure at the pinnacle of power in the industry, which gives people the opportunity to film together, but they have to be afraid.

Daniel understands these things too, but a lot of things are involuntary.

Paul. Walker was still able to talk to him for a drink. Of course, their friendship will become close again, and even Daniel will consider inviting him to star in "Transformers". Big people also need friends, but friends don't have to be big people, and many times, making friends depends on people.

"Are these people from the local tribe?"

Marshall nodded, "We employ more than 400 people. Native Dominican tribesmen. Tribe, what a primitive and archaic word, it's exciting, isn't it? ”

"I wouldn't be excited about them, wouldn't you? Marshall? ”

Get a white eye.

"But I don't think some of them seem to be happy."

"Huh?"

Marshall looked at the temporary workers of the local tribe in surprise, and indeed saw that many people were looking at the cauldron set, and there was some resentment on their faces, which made him feel very strange. It is very important for the crew filming in other places to communicate smoothly, otherwise once someone makes it bad, it is likely to be delayed for a day or two, which is a loss of millions.

Beckoned someone to come over and ask him to inquire.

Soon, Marshall's assistant ran back and didn't keep his voice down to avoid Daniel.

"They say that the local tribe is not a cannibal. It is impossible to cook alive, it would discredit their tribe. Cause them trouble. ”

Daniel suddenly remembered.

Indeed, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was very polarized with the locals when it was filmed, on the one hand, a crew stayed here for months and created hundreds of jobs. It is very advantageous for brokers in such small places. Moreover, as the filming location of the hit movie, the development of tourism is even more unique, and Dominica, as a Caribbean coastal country, is originally a holiday destination. Now the icing on the cake is that the benefits here are likely to be long-lasting. So many people are grateful to the crew, and of course the attitude is also very positive and positive. But the local tribal leader had an unpleasant quarrel with the crew. Cook has even made a public statement to deal with disputes that arise.

It seems that it is the incident caused by the scene in front of him.

However, he has no intention of speaking, Disney Studios is the producer, and everything should be handled by them.

Marshall thought about it for a moment, and without even communicating with Bruckheimer, he asked his assistant to pass the word, "It's just a fictional movie, and no one will think they're cannibals." Tell them that I hope they can adjust their mentality and not affect their work, otherwise we will directly replace them. ”

So tough?

"The unemployment rate here is super high, 70% of the people are short of jobs, and the opportunity to work on our crew is very rare and they will understand how to do it. Besides, if there's a problem, Jeff and Disney will take care of it. ”

Daniel was dumbfounded, Marshall and him were in the same mind.

But he was right, and Daniel saw that the local tribe staff quickly got busy with their heads down, no longer looking at the set.

……

"A dozen tribal leaders went to the scene with people."

Daniel wore sunglasses and a backpack as he walked the streets of Dominica, and it was impossible to tell if he was looking at the scenery or the locals. This small town is poor, not close to the sea, and has little tourist resources, but the good thing is that almost no one knows Daniel. Sandler, he only took Miller with him, and Deshar was making masks at home - finally Daniel was resting today, although the crew was still working, he always had to take a day off every ten days and a half months, otherwise no one would be able to stand it.

He was staring at these quaint stone buildings, which were carved with a lot of strange patterns, about beasts and totems, but he couldn't tell what they were. After being made with a chisel and then filled with local red clay, on the large gray and yellow stones, a strange red pattern conveys the history and beliefs of this tribe for thousands of years.

It's fascinating.

Then Miller received a phone call, of course there are people in the crew of DD Pictures, as a third of the big investors, it is necessary to follow up the entire filming process, this time Ferguson did not join the crew in person, it was a producer hired by DD Pictures to follow the crew. He was the one who communicated with Miller.

"The locals went to make trouble?"

"It seems to be, it seems to be more than a dozen tribes together, quite a few people." Miller didn't look nervous, "But the local police have passed, Marshall and Jeff don't go out at all, and they are all handed over to the local government." ”

Daniel thought about it early on that the crew came to the Caribbean, of course, they brought a lot of security personnel, and they themselves had a scale of four or five hundred people, and they were still very confident.

Disney chose Bataka Island in Dominica to shoot because of the right scenery, but it certainly had something to do with the satisfactory conditions provided by the local government - such as providing satisfactory security.

As a Caribbean country that is very dependent on the United States, Dominica is a country and Disney is a giant group, it is not necessarily who has the upper hand, not to mention that it is now Dominica who wants Disney. The troubles of these locals will not cause a lot of trouble to the crew.

Both Marshall and Bruckheimer understood this.

Daniel, however, felt the breath of power that he was not yet familiar with. (To be continued......)
