"Hey, busy man, how do you have time to come here today?" Sean half-jokingly greeted Drew, and when he saw it before, he still couldn't believe his eyes.

"Why, as the producer of the film, can't I come?" Drew asked in a disgruntled tone with his arms crossed.

"Why, you're a producer." Sean still has that mocking look, and when he says the word "producer", he deliberately accentuates his tone.

Although it has only been four days since the start of filming, Drew is coming to the set for the first time today as a producer, and he can't say anything, even if he is very busy, at least he should come over and show up when the film is turned on.

"I'm also the producer of 'Breaking Bad', so I'm done with things over there to come here, aren't I?" Drew glared at him, not wanting to pretend on purpose.

"So, are you ready to join the crew? But I remember that your part didn't seem to be on the schedule. Sean changed the subject.

"How is it possible, I just finished 'Breaking Bad', don't I need to rest? Do you know what it means for a woman to not be able to get a good rest for a long time? Do you know how hard it is to work for 6 months straight? Drew rolled his eyes wide, and spoke like a machine gun.

"Well, I'll just ask." Sean smiled wryly and raised his hands.

"Anyway, I don't have many scenes in "Death Hallucination", is there any problem with taking a break for half a month and coming back?" Drew chattered a little, then waved his hand again, "Can't we stop talking about this?" ”

Looks like you're talking non-stop. Sean said this in his heart, still smiling on the surface, and immediately spread his hands: "Okay, then what to talk about?" ”

Then there was a minute-long silence, Drew blinked her eyes and opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say at all, and after staring at her for a while, she coughed a little embarrassedly: "Hmm...... You're doing pretty well, Richard says you're very easy to get along with, and your acting skills are also very good. ”

"Since you recommended me, of course I want to let people know that you can't be wrong in your vision." Sean shrugged.

"Of course I can't be wrong with my eyes," Drew's eyes lit up and his smile became charming when he heard this, "no matter what it is." ”

The body then moved closer: "You're as good at talking as you always have, Sean." ”

"No praise for a beautiful lady is overstated." Sean smiled slightly, then glanced around with his eyes.

Drew immediately came to his senses, and although there weren't many people around looking this way, she still came a little bit, but the smile on her face didn't decrease: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other since you left the crew of "Breaking Bad", when will you come to my party again?" ”

She pursed her red lips as she spoke, which didn't mean much, and even then added, "Cami may be here too." ”

This woman ...... Sean couldn't help but want to remind her that she also had a boyfriend.

Of course, he didn't really ask it, isn't asking this at this time tantamount to turning his face? And, thinking back to the way she and Cameron ate bananas together, it's a pleasure just to think about it, no wonder many people like to blow the trumpet.

"I will." Sean replied.

"Okay, then I'll go somewhere else, I'm the producer?" Drew giggled, but didn't take two steps before stopping, looking back at him with an ambiguous gaze, "By the way, Sean, I'm going to warn you, Gina?" Malone is only 15 years old now, so you'd better not hit her idea. ”

"Why, do I look like the kind of person who thinks of getting laid when he sees a girl?" Sean made a look of being devastated.

"Not exactly, but not quite." Drew smiled meaningfully, "You are very good at coaxing women, and you are also very attractive to women, as long as the other party has feelings for you, you may take advantage of it." ”

"Sounds like I'm a playboy." Sean said calmly.

"Not exactly, but not quite." Drew, whose eyes were crooked into crescents, repeated his previous words, and then waved away, "Okay, I'll go look elsewhere, and I'll talk to Loyola High School about borrowing their school." ”

Looking at the departing Drew, Sean couldn't help grinding his teeth, it should be said that the intuition of experienced women is really more sensitive? Well, no matter what, although he did have a good deal with Gina? Malone was a little interested, after all, it was indeed a very delicate girl, but he would not be dizzy to tease her. Drew was right, she's only 15 years old, and she won't turn 16 until November of this year, and even then, it's impossible in California.

Probably because there are so many lights and glamours here that it is easy to attract some young women to do things that they shouldn't, the legal age for sex is 18 years old. If Sean wasn't an underage, he might be a little more lenient, but it's basically impossible now.

After this episode, filming continued, and although Sean figured out how to change his expression frequently to hide his mature temperament, it didn't make it much easier. On the one hand, there are quite a few shots that maintain an expression, and on the other hand, only he can be regarded as the absolute protagonist of this movie.

This was supposed to be a very good workout opportunity, and although Sean was also the first protagonist in "The Genius Ripley", Minghella's camera was not entirely focused on him, and Jude, Hoffman, Gwyneth and Kate all had excellent images. Kelly certainly can't beat Minghella in this regard, although he has more control over the filming than James the director of "Here Comes the Grim Reaper"? Huang is a little stronger, and there are a few good assistant directors and assistant directors, so he puts his perspective on Sean, and it is entirely up to him to drive the development of the story.

At the same time, Kelly gave Sean a lot of freedom to play as much as he wanted, so he could come up with that method before. But there are two sides to everything, although Sean can play to his heart's content, and he doesn't need to think too much about it - he has now temporarily abandoned the idea of fusing the method school and the Jishu school, and is focused on figuring out how to convey the emotions of the characters to the audience, so he is more flexible and changeable.

The problem is that as the filming deepens, how to play makes it a little difficult for him. Kelly's control of the movie, although higher than Yellow, is far inferior to Minghella, and Sean has no opponents, so there is the current situation.

Not to mention the scene where Hoffman crushed Sean in "The Genius Ripley" in terms of acting skills, and the bathroom scene with Jude, it was precisely because of the other party's excellent performance that Sean's desire to win was aroused, and Zuihou became extraordinarily exciting. But in "Illusion of Death", a few good old actors and his opponents have very few scenes, and young people such as Gina have some acting skills but lack experience, which is not enough for him to ignite his fighting spirit and surpass himself.

In this case, what if like James? Huang, because it was not easy to control Sean, he had to ask him to control himself and cooperate with the shooting, which was very helpful to the production of the movie. But Kelly was not enough to completely control Sean, but he put the main perspective on him, and gave him a lot of room to play, which made him at a loss.

"Smile a little weirder, Sean, as long as it can reflect the weird feeling." Kelly said again and again what he was asking, "It's easy, isn't it?" Hold on, this is on the highway, we can't block the section for too long, and if we miss it, we have to reapply. ”

"Calm down, Richard, I know, I'll find a way to adjust, and I'll be fine soon." Sean had to reassure him.

"As a director, he doesn't even have half of your composure, no wonder he never found an investor after the script was written." Sanders, who handed Shaun pure water, whispered a teasing remark.

"Don't say that, he just wants to finish today's shoot as soon as possible, after all, the funds are limited." Sean shrugged.

"After knowing the Hollywood-style ledger trick, do you think I still believe in the idea that money is limited?" Sanders shook his head, "They will also seek tax cuts in various places everywhere, speaking of which there are 4.5 million investments, but in fact, only two-thirds of them are actually invested in production." ”

"That can't be wasted, can it?" Sean, who was drinking water, laughed, "You also said that you should be more cautious when you choose where only two-thirds of the funds are invested." ”

Sanders didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes.

"And it's basically filmed in Los Angeles, at most, Loyola High School, which is still in contact, has some relief, and not necessarily elsewhere - of course, I'm not a professional, so I'm not completely sure." Sean smiled and said.

"Okay, then you grind slowly with him." Sanders dropped that sentence and walked away.

Sean shook his head with a smirk, and after learning the concept of a Hollywood-style ledger from him, Sanders, as his would-be agent, immediately began to gather relevant information. Frederick, though he often had to go toe-to-toe with him, helped a lot in this regard, and although he didn't necessarily figure it out completely, he found something useful outside of Sean's popular science.

For example, when a large studio or a large film company invests in a high-cost film in the production department, it generally has two account books, one for public announcement, and the other for investors.

The investment figures in the previous book are naturally often seen in various media, magazines or related websites, and even many times people in the circle will mention this figure when they communicate; The latter figure is for investors, and it is a figure after deducting various reductions and exemptions, and it is a figure that is far whispered to the public.

For example, in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the new line claims to have raised nearly 300 million yuan, with an investment of almost 97 million yuan each, but in fact, because of New Zealand's various relief policies, the cost of the film - at least aside the cost of post-production - is certainly not as much as the apparent ledger.

Therefore, the actual cost of a movie, especially those big productions, is actually not as exaggerated as the numbers seen on the books, and it has to be said that Hollywood, which has its own unique system, is not lost to Wall Street at all in terms of tricks on the ledger.
