Chapter 313: Alternative Persuasion
After more than 20 days of relaxation in Hawaii, Chen Fan returned to Hollywood alone. Li Jun flew back to China directly from Hawaii, and Chen Fan was supposed to go with him, but something happened to the United States.
Specifically, there was a problem with the shooting on Nick's side, and to be specific, ...... Nick's love affair collapsed.
While filming a scene where his own character breaks up with his former girlfriend, Nick breaks down and cries. After that, Nick never got better, he seemed to be completely immersed in his own memories, and his feelings could no longer be normal.
The filming of the miniseries can only be suspended first, in the middle of the vacation, Chen Fan got the news, but he didn't go back immediately, just stop for a while, it's rare to compensate Li Jun for going on vacation, of course, you can't give up because of this.
……
Back in Hollywood, Chen Fan immediately went to Nick's house with Mark to see him.
"Why the hell did Nick break down?" Chen Fan asked Mark if he was driving to Nick's house in Mark's car.
Mark drove the car and said, "It's just that he's too involved." This drama is his memories with me...... That memory was really tough for him. ”
When filming, I fell into love, and this can happen not only to the actors, but also to the director, and even the director bears more intense feelings than the actors. As long as the actor understands the feelings of the character, the director has to control all the feelings, whether it is negative or positive, the director must save it in his head...... If the emotion is too strong, of course it will collapse.
"I see."
Mark sighed and said, "Nick takes this show too seriously...... Or is he going to put all his feelings in it...... I don't know how to put it, it's just too committed anyway. ”
If you want to use an idiom to describe it. That's going crazy!
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe he will get better." In fact, it's not bad to shoot this miniseries with such feelings. It's going to be a good shot. ”
Mark didn't agree, saying, "Nick crossed that line...... A lot of people cross that line and never come back......"
The state of going crazy is actually the strongest state for an artist, in such a state, his creativity will continue to burst out, and he will create powerful works. People say that there is a line between a madman and a genius, and that's the truth, you are a genius online. Cross the line and you'll end up in an insane asylum.
Chen Fan comforted: "Don't worry, I think Nick has experienced too many things recently, and he will definitely be fine." "Nick's state is very easy for Chen Fan to solve. In an instant, he helped Nick regain his senses...... It's just that after doing this, Nick's creative ability will inevitably be affected, and Chen Fan doesn't want such a result, so he is ready to induce Nick to come out. It's a bit like a psychiatrist.
The two men parked their car on the street corner. After getting out of the car, Chen Fan looked at his surroundings. It's an old neighborhood. The houses are dilapidated, the streets are littered with garbage, and some homeless people still wandering.
"Nick lives in a slum?" Chen Fan asked Mark.
Mark smiled bitterly: "I didn't know before, I didn't know that he lived in this place when he was sick." ”
No matter how depressed Nick is, he is also the owner of a film company, and Chen Fan never thought that Nick would live in this place. Chen Fan had already bought Nick's company, and the money was given to Nick, but he didn't use the money to improve his life......
Two people walked up to the fourth floor. Knocking on the door of Nick's apartment, it was Nick's secretary who opened the door.
The secretary ushered the two men into the room.
The room was cluttered. Some unwashed laundry was still piled up there. There were many videotapes and piles of DVDs in one cabinet, and movie posters were plastered all over the wall.
Nick was sitting on the sofa and drinking wine with a wine bottle, indifferent to the arrival of Mark and Chen Fan.
"How's he, is he?" Mark asked the secretary.
The secretary shook his head worriedly and said, "He doesn't talk much all the time, he's always drinking...... I couldn't persuade him. ”
Mark nodded, and sat down next to Nick with Chen Fan. Nick smells bad and has a scruffy beard on his face, which he definitely hasn't taken care of these days.
"Hey, Nick, how are you feeling?" Mark asked with concern.
Nick looked at Mark and didn't speak, he raised the bottle and continued to drink.
Mark snatched the bottle before Nick began to speak, "I'm fine, give me the wine." With that, he was going to grab the bottle.
Chen Fan pressed Nick's hand and asked, "Why did you become like this?" ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen...... I failed to live up to your expectations. I overestimated myself, and it turned out that I couldn't shoot that script at all. Nick lowered his head and said, "I can't shoot anymore......"
Chen Fan patted Nick on the shoulder and said, "I can understand." ”
"Nope! No! Nick suddenly stood up and screamed, "You can't understand! How can you possibly understand it?! ”
"Nick, Nick. Calm down! Mark hurriedly stopped Nick from going berserk.
As soon as Chen Fan stood up and forced, Nick was pressed back to the sofa by his strength.
"This drama is a portrayal of your life, you originally thought you could face your previous experiences, but when you were filming, you found that you couldn't face it at all...... Or maybe you're simply not prepared to face it! Chen Fan said lightly.
When he heard Chen Fan's words, Nick was stunned for a moment, and sat on the sofa with a decadent face.
"It's good to be alone, but it's not good to go too far. I didn't buy your company for Mark's face or your company's assets, in fact, I wanted to buy you the most! I don't value any assets, I value people more, and I will be very relieved to have such a nostalgic person to help me deal with the company's affairs. Chen Fan continued.
Hearing this, Nick raised his head and looked at Chen Fan.
"I'm also a nostalgic person, so I know that nostalgic people are emotional people. Your feelings for your own employees touched me. My nostalgia is different from yours, I am standing in the present and looking backwards. You have gone from now to the past, all I can say is that you are too ...... It's too emotional. Originally, Chen Fan wanted to say that he was weak, looking at Nick's state. He changed to a weaker tone.
Nick frowned and began to think.
"I know that this script is meant to commemorate the past, but you can't deny that you also want to succeed with this play. Am I right? ”
Nick sighed and whispered, "Yes...... I'm going to take a gamble and see if I can make a good movie. But I failed, and I was destined to be a failure in my life......"
Chen Fan suddenly laughed, and he said, "Nick, you don't have confidence. Maybe the previous years of experience have made your self-confidence disappear. But I'm going to sue you now! Nick, you can make a good drama! ”
"How do you think I'm going to go on like this?" Nick Decadence said, "I gave up. That's it for the rest of my life. ”
Mark saw his friend so decadent, his mood was complicated, and now he didn't know what to say. It can be said that Nick is like this now. His departure was also an important reason back then.
"You just gave up?" Chen Fan scolded loudly. "And what about your employees? If you work, I can't get along with your employees, do you think I'll keep them for nothing? ”
Speaking of his own men, Nick stopped talking, and he didn't know what to say. His subordinates all have some problems, he has been with those people long enough to know what kind of temper they have, but what about Chen Fan? He didn't know either.
"I remember when we were talking about acquisitions. How much do you care about your employees...... Now that you think about your state, are you worthy of your employees? It turns out that you are still a selfish person at heart! Chen Fan began to accuse him directly. Do you think that the script of this drama was written by you, and you are the director, and this drama is yours alone? No, it's for everyone in your company! ”
"You're really hard at work, I think you deserve it, it's your job. But what if you look at those employees? This movie is made in honor of your name! Although the film company is named after you, there are memories of them there. Do you think you're selfish? ”
After a long silence, Nick looked up and said, "I'm really selfish, I'm sorry for them." ”
"What's the use of all this?" Chen Fan retorted in a fierce tone, "You should face up to your past and walk back from the past to the present." Or maybe you're doing the show completely as a professional director, you're taking yourself to a different level, and you're treating the script as something completely irrelevant to you. ”
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Nick still says the same thing.
Chen Fan was very angry, he grabbed Nick by the collar and picked him up.
"If you don't shoot, the money I invested will be wasted. Do you think I'll give up? Chen Fan stared at Nick with a cold face.
When Nick saw Mark's stern face, he knew that Chen Fan was not as simple as it seemed, but he didn't care anymore, so he still looked depressed. It's completely like the mud can't hold up the wall.
Chen Fan sent his hand away and said to Nick: "You make me suffer a loss, you just wait to die!" ”
Nick still doesn't care, as if he's out of love.
Chen Fan took Nick's clothes and said coldly: "Follow me to the company immediately, I will fire them all in front of you!" I'm going to make these people who give for you look down on you! ”
"You! Go call me and call all the people in the company here! Right away! Chen Fan yelled at Nick's secretary, who was stunned for a moment, then took out his phone to inform him.
"Don't fight! Don't fight! Nick immediately stopped, and he immediately rushed over with all his strength, snatched the secretary's phone, and threw it on the ground. The decadence just now is gone.
"You should understand by now that this show is not yours alone, but all your team members!" Chen Fan looked at Nick and said, "Do you want to put all your team members out of work because of yourself?" As far as I know, most of the people in the company are not in a good financial situation, what do you think they will live if they lose their careers? Is it homelessness or outright criminalization? Will you, the secretary lady, go back to her old job?! ”
"Enough, don't talk about it!" Nick suddenly burst into tears, "I'll finish filming this show!" ”
Chen Fan smiled coldly and said: "Don't think I'm perfunctory, if the drama comes out, I don't think it's good, I will fire your entire team!" Think for yourself! ”
Giving Mark a look, Chen Fan immediately walked outside, Mark looked at Nick's face full of anger, and he immediately followed.
Outside the door, he saw Chen Fan with a calm face.
"Alright, this matter is settled. Nick, who gave it his all, is back. Chen Fan said lightly.
Mark looked at Chen Fan and was a little speechless, Chen Fan will always surprise people. (To be continued......)
