"It's not going well."

In the studio office, Charles Rowan held his chin with one hand, "The radius of his right arm is broken, and he will definitely quit the crew." ”

Filming action scenes, accidents are inevitable, and Duke is also aware of this, but he is worried about the other side, "Will it affect the crew's next shooting?" ”

"Don't worry, Duke."

The two production managers have worked on multiple sets and obviously have a lot of experience with them, and Robin Grande said at this time, "We've contacted his agent, and we're going to compensate him financially, and the actors generally don't complain to the union, which doesn't benefit either party." ”

"yes, it's just a matter of compensation." Charles Rowan was also optimistic, "Duke, this matter will be handled by Robin and me, and you will still concentrate on the shooting." ”

This is exactly what Duke wants, of course, there is no reason to refuse, and he doesn't want to let this kind of thing distract himself, if he has time, it would be good to let Sophia go to see the injured stuntman on his behalf, and the two production managers on behalf of the investor are the most suitable people to deal with it.

Out of the office, Duke went directly to the open-air set, and the crew was still waiting for him to shoot.

"Jos, the flames I want to explode can pass through the passage."

When he came to the set, Duke first found pyrotechnician Joss William and pulled him into the set up venue, "The flame effect should be bright enough, not too powerful, and the camera will capture ...... close-up"

"I understand."

Yesterday the two sides discussed the matter, and José Williams looked confident, "Leave it to me." ”

There are actors who are seriously injured, which still has some impact on Duke, and no one wants to see safety accidents happen.

Walking back and forth around the venue, Duke looked at the tracks, camera positions, lighting fixtures placed by the gaffers, and the scenery set up by the art director, calling the person in charge to rearrange them, even if they were only slightly different from what he had in mind.

Although not the kind of perfectionist who is 200 percent, Duke is equally strict about the details, and doing the best within the limits of what is effective is what he is after.

An hour later, with a loud explosion, orange-red flames rose into the sky of Warner Studios, staining half of the open-air filming area red.

The gusts of wind blowing from the north carried away the smoke and made it eastward and south, and by the time they reached Universal Studios south of Burbank, they could no longer smell the smoke and fireworks.

Standing at the door of the studio, Martin Bob watched the scene being filmed from afar, and the girl who was more than ten years old showed a completely different acting skills from her age.

Thanks to the joint support of CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, after intense preparations, "Interview with the Vampire" has been in operation at Universal Studios for almost ten days, and the progress has been smoother than they imagined.

The movie is completely in time for next year's summer file, although the film genre is a bit problematic, but with the strong promotion of CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, as well as the joining of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two popular movie stars, coupled with the influence of the original book, Martin Bob is confident that he will create a box office bomb in next year's summer file.

Maybe...... Kirsten Dunst could also be one of the focus of propaganda?

Just as Martin Bob was thinking, a battery car stopped not far away, and Lovett jumped out of the car and hurried over.

"Good news, Mr. Bob." He seems to be in a good mood, "The crew of "Brave Death Island" has just had a safety accident, and a stuntman was seriously injured and sent to the hospital. ”

"Are you sure?" Martin Bob turned his head to look at him.

"Sure!" Lovett nodded solemnly, "The Screen Actors Guild ...... over there"

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Martin Bob said slowly, "You can deal with it, you can use the company's resources appropriately, I will greet Twentieth Century Fox, they should have a channel to vent their dissatisfaction with Duke Rosenberg." ”

The next day, several local newspapers in Los Angeles simultaneously published the news that the crew of "Brave Death Island" had an accident and that the actor was seriously injured, which was reprinted by many tabloids.

"There are potential safety hazards in the filming location of "Brave Death Island", and actors have been injured one after another......"

"According to people familiar with the matter, since the start of filming, one actor has taken the initiative to quit due to safety issues, and three stuntmen have been hospitalized with fractures."

The California Independent, which has some influence throughout the West Coast, also revealed the news from a cast member.

"You can't imagine our work environment, which is the mess of the 'end of the world', where dozens, if not hundreds, of people work together every day, things are exploding everywhere, and if we want to communicate, we have to speak loudly and even shout to make each other hear! I strongly appeal to the Actors Guild to intervene in the investigation! ”

In just a few days, the safety of the set of "Brave Death Island" has become a hot spot for many people.

Due to his concentration on filming, Duke did not learn about it in time, and when he was reminded by Sophia to cast his attention on it, the Screen Actors Guild had already arrived at Warner Studios.

In North America, the union is a kind of sometimes cute and sometimes annoying deposit, such as the actors' union, after the actors are eligible to pay dues to join, as long as necessary, the actors' unions will come forward to protect their rights and interests, and if the crew is reported to have a situation that endangers the personal safety of the actors, they will also come forward to investigate.

Although many times, the actors' union will turn a blind eye to some large crews, after all, filming injuries and the like are the norm, as long as the crew and actors can reach a compensation agreement, they will not come forward, but once they are targeted, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Duke, this is Mr. Huntington, this is Mr. Rufitt."

As soon as he walked into the office on the set, Robin Grande introduced Duke to two middle-aged men, who were investigators from the Screen Actors Guild, who would investigate the treatment of the actors on the set and the safety measures on the set.

"My crew wasn't in danger during filming."

In the face of the other party's routine inquiries, Duke certainly does not think that there is a problem with the safety of filming and the set, "All the actors are adhering to the concept of enthusiastic work, the whole venue is safe, and the crew will be responsible for every actor." ”

"But there are still people who are hurt." The bald middle-aged man among them said.

"It was just an accident," Duke couldn't find a good way to put it, "and I've always been very demanding, and very demanding, of my crew, to do everything in their power to manage and keep the actors safe." ”

Which action movie shot doesn't hurt a few? But how many times has the Screen Actors Guild come forward? Now that they came to the door, Duke also understood that there must be some more complicated reasons involved.

That's all for today's shoot.

The two production managers accompanied the Screen Actors Guild to the set, and Duke told Sophia to tell her to suspend filming and went straight back to his office, and if even Warner Bros. couldn't handle the Screen Actors Guild, he would have no effect following behind.

It didn't take long for Sophia to bring even worse news.

"The union building crew has temporarily stopped filming,"

Throwing Wen Jiàn on the desk, Sophia sat down across from Duke in a huff, "to wait for their findings." ”

Hearing Sophia's words, Duke's brow furrowed unconsciously.

It is true that the Screen Actors Guild does not have the power to stop filming and can only propose to make a proposal, but they can notify the actors to leave the crew temporarily, and the vast majority of the cast members, including Ed Harris and Nicolas Cage, are members of the Screen Actors Guild, and members of several major Hollywood unions are notoriously in the same way as the union.

The reason is very simple, the union is the composition of their own rights and interests, and it is precisely because of the union, whether it is an actor, a director or a screenwriter, that they can compete with capital organizations such as the Zuò People Alliance.

If Duke joins the Directors Guild, he will also stand with the union when it calls for a strike.

When he left the set in the afternoon, Duke had just walked out of the gate of Warner Studios and was surrounded by many media reporters.

"Director Rosenberg, it is said that there have been many safety accidents in "Brave Island", is it true?"

"It has been revealed that you used military explosives in violation of regulations in order to pursue the explosive effect."

"I heard that there are actresses who only joined the crew because of your relationship?"

"Will Death Island be suspended due to safety concerns?"

With the assistance of the security guards on the set, Duke broke out of the encirclement of reporters, said nothing, and got into Sophia's car.

"Thank you." His face was not very good.

"You're welcome."

Sophia spun the wheel and drove her BMW onto the road to North Hollywood.

As some reporters mentioned, because of the call of the Screen Actors Guild, the crew had to temporarily suspend when there were not enough actors available, waiting for the results of the Screen Actors Guild's investigation.

At the same time, Duke also learned from Warner Bros. that this time the Actors Guild came forward because it received a report from within the crew and was promoted by certain forces, of course, as a union organization, their investigation must comply with the procedures, and it is impossible to completely disintegrate the crew and drag on for too long.

With a little analysis, Duke can also guess the other party's purpose.

They just want to create trouble for the crew of "Brave Island" and disrupt the filming rhythm of the crew, after all, every day of filming is delayed, the cost of money will increase, and maybe it can also cause trouble for him, an inexperienced director, and make the film make mistakes that should not have been.

As for who the other party is, in fact, it is not difficult to guess, there are only a few Hollywood companies that can compete with Warner Bros., and even fewer people who are unhappy with him and "Brave Island".

"Robin ......"

After thinking about it, Duke dialed the Warner production manager, "If I'm not mistaken, one of the stars on the crew of "Interview with the Vampire" is a minor! ”

The shutdown of the crew has already made Duke angry.
