The explosion cost more than $300,000 and had another effect, and Sofia Coppola, presumably frightened, called the next day to tell her that she was sick and needed to take a few days off.

Frankly speaking, Duke was not very satisfied with the results of this shoot, compared to the explosion maniac in his previous life, the explosion scenes they made and shot were really nothing, and the pyrotechnicians and camera team signed by Lucasfilm were indeed not the top players in this regard.

However, Duke couldn't ask for more, after all, there are not many such top professionals in Hollywood.

According to the pre-set shooting plan, after returning to the set, the crew turned to model shooting, such as and expensive shots such as bus leaps, Duke switched to model shooting, and the realistic model created by ILM will not affect the shooting effect too much.

Eventually, most of the models inevitably exploded, and on the outdoor set of Universal Studios, a 20-foot-long model of a Boeing freighter was destroyed in the explosion along with a scaled-down model of a bus.

The crew also ushered in the best period since the start of filming, and in the first week of November, Duke even completed the shooting task that had been planned for two weeks, which is not only related to the gradual maturity of the crew, but also related to the fact that he always makes plans from the most difficult angles.

Since the crew turned on, Robin Grande, as the de facto controller of the crew, has been almost completely invisible, and like all good production managers, he has basically handed over control of the set to Duke, only watching what happens with both eyes.

In fact, Duke knows very well that Robin Grande has seen all the films he has shot, and more than once, but he has not made any comments until now, which means that he is generally satisfied with the shots he shot, and the assistant director Cornet is also much more settled, I am afraid it has something to do with Robin's secret admonition.

Although it is not too obvious, it can't be hidden from the discerning person, and Robin Grande is taking care of him.

Why did the other party do this? In Duke's mind, it must be the relationship of George Lucas, and he has never thought about it in a deeper direction, because what occupies all his thoughts is how to make this movie well.

However, in Hollywood, no one and nothing will be smooth sailing.

"Here's the shooting plan for this afternoon."

On set, Sofia Coppola, who returned to the set, put a schedule on the table in front of Duke and said, "But the actor hasn't arrived yet, should you shoot another shot first?" ”

"He's twenty minutes late."

All the scenes in the afternoon were related to Keanu Reeves, and Uma Thurman and Dennis Hober, who had put on makeup, were already waiting in the rest area of the studio.

Looking at his watch, just as Duke was about to change the shooting plan, there was a noise at the entrance of the studio, and a whistling Keanu Reeves staggered in, and a staff member stepped forward to remind him to put on makeup, but he was pushed by his backhand and fell to the ground.

"Hey, boy!" Keanu Reeves' voice was high-pitched and hoarse, "Don't bother! ”

Throwing down the planner, Duke strode over, and before he got close to Keanu Reeves, he faintly smelled a faint smell of smoke, this smell was very familiar, although he had not tried it himself, but he had smelled it in middle school and college, and when he thought of Keanu Reeves's absurd life in the early nineties, the answer was very obvious.

"You're late, Reeves!"

Duke reached out and pulled the overwhelmed staff member up on the ground.

"It's just a few minutes!" Keanu Reeves waved his hand vigorously, "It's only been a few minutes!" ”

"Find a place to sober him up."

Duke reminded the assistant who was following Keanu Reeves, who tried to pull him up and was pushed away by Reeves.

"I want to film!"

Keanu Reeves, who was in high spirits, was obviously a little confused, and his voice was getting higher and higher, "I'm going to film, understand?" I want to film! ”

He stumbled towards Duke, and before he could get closer, he staggered and deflected, and hit the 'wall' headlong, and the set wall was immediately knocked down, and he himself tripped to the ground, probably in a hurry to get up, he grabbed a rope that held the set wall in order to borrow strength, and directly pulled the set that was more than twenty feet long.

Suck big. It's normal for hemp stars to smoke coca like Keanu Reeves. Alkali is not uncommon in Hollywood, but there are not many who suck high and run to the crew to go wild!

Looking coldly at Keanu Reeves, who was shouting excitedly like a drunk, Duke said to Sophia behind him, "Call his agent, and call a few security guards to come in and get him out of the garbage heap!" ”

"Don't!"

Keanu Reeves is on drugs, but his assistant is not, how much of an impact will it have on the employer if this kind of thing were to be ripped out?

Turning, Duke walked towards his resting place, the set was ruined, and this afternoon's shoot was going to be in vain, his eyes swept over the actors such as Uma Thurman and Dennis Hopper, all of whom looked at the actor who was already somewhat famous.

The crew would certainly not have thrown Keanu Reeves into the garbage heap, as Duke had said, and several people, along with the assistant, pressed him to a chair, probably the most excited stage had passed, and Reeves sat there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sophia asked her to inquire about it, and soon figured out the general situation.

"He had been to Johnny Depp's bar before he came." She said to Duke, who was sitting across from her, "That bar is where a lot of young Hollywood actors party, Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, Rivan Phoenix, Hollywood's famous smokers. Poison trio. ”

"They usually suck the sea. Login has nothing to do with me either! Duke tapped lightly on the arm of the chair and said in a cold tone, "But he's ruined my entire afternoon's shooting plan now!" ”

Robin Grande, who didn't come to the set today, was the first to arrive, and it didn't take long for Keanu Reeves' agent to arrive on the set.

In the office on the set, Duke and Robin sat relatively close, Keanu Reeves on the cold towel opposite, sobered up, and his agent seemed to have a headache.

"I'm so sorry." The broker has said this several times.

"Mr. Reeves didn't just disrupt my shooting plans." Duke's tone was very flat, the matter had already happened, and how to solve it was the most important thing, "The set that was pulled down by Mr. Reeves has been damaged in a different way, which will delay the crew's time. ”

"I'm sorry." The broker continued.

"I wish that was coming out of Mr. Reeves' mouth." Duke looked at Keanu Reeves, who had regained consciousness, "He is the one who should apologize the most!" ”

"You ......" Reeves looked up suddenly, staring straight at Duke.

Duke looked at him with sharper eyes, without the slightest intention of backing down, the current Keanu Reeves is not a good man in the future, he is a veritable bastard boy.

The agent whispered a few words of persuasion in Reeves's ear, and he gradually lowered his head, and then said to Duke, "I'm sorry! ”

Nodding, Duke signaled that he accepted his apology, there was no intention of not being relentless, the two sides would continue to work together, and it would be no good for anyone to have a complete stalemate.

Duke then leaves the office, and whatever Robin Grande can extort from the other party is a matter of business.

Originally, because of the time that the filming was snatched up, affected by this incident, they all got in, although Keanu Reeves apologized, but the relationship between the two was more cold, and Duke didn't care, in fact, from the beginning of the preparation, he kept a distance from all the actors, except for work, he didn't want to have too much intersection with them.

A week later, after filming the subway scene, the crew finished filming on the set, and Dennis Hopper became the first main actor to leave the set.

"Dennis, you're doing a great job!"

Raising his glass and touching it with Dennis Hopper, Duke drank the champagne and touched the old actor's outstretched fist, "I hope we will have a chance to work together in the future." ”

"I hope so, too." Dennis Hober also drank the wine from his glass.

Seeing what people say can be said to be one of the essential skills for surviving in Hollywood.

Leaving the crowd behind, Duke returned to the quiet bar, asked for another glass of champagne, sat down on the high chair, and sipped slowly.

He was under more pressure than everyone else over there, and he couldn't relax at all, and he wasn't in the mood to revelry.

"You don't like to be busy?" A female voice with an Australian accent sounded next to her.

Duke shook his head slowly, he had also participated in the carnival party duì in middle school and college, and he did not reject that atmosphere.

"Unsociable?" The voice continued, "Or do you want to maintain the authority of the director?" ”

"Miss Watts, how much authority do you think I have on the crew?"

Turning his head, Duke looked at the petite girl who had just sat next to her, her blonde curls falling smoothly over her shoulders in an ivory robe, and two small front teeth protruding slightly under her open lips.

Naomi Watts smiled directly, she has worked hard in the Japanese and Australian circles for many years, of course, she is not a rookie, and it can be seen that the crew is maintaining because of that work contract, and the young director really does not have much authority to speak of.

"Call me Nami."

She held out her right hand to Duke, "Reacquaint, Naomi Watts, Australian." ”

Shaking her hand, Duke said in the same way, "Duke Rosenberg, an L.A. native. ”
