Chapter 48: New Actors

"What's going on?" Although the set was not small, Minghella quickly got the news and rushed over.

"I don't know, sir, I just suggested that Mr. Tang be more efficient, and they became like this." Hoberg said as quickly as if grasping a straw at Zuihou.

"He's lying!" Someone shouted this, followed by another commotion.

"Calm down, everyone," Sean said loudly as he stood up and waved his arms, "please calm down, for it will be useless to argue like this, Mr. Minghella is already here, and he will surely give everyone a fair answer." ”

He repeated this several times, and the quarrel finally subsided, and then Sean said, "Okay, then who can stand up and explain the cause and effect of the matter for everyone?" ”

"I'll come." The operator of the mobile vehicle, who had been the first to stand up, stepped forward again.

After getting Minghella's approval, he immediately began to describe, not to mention that he was very strong, but his eloquence was very good, and in a few sentences he outlined the general outline of the matter. To put it simply, they are interested in executive producer William? Hoberg was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of his work, which was so dense that he could not rest well every day.

"No, I just want to speed up the shooting as much as possible, and if you feel that the work is not arranged properly, you can come to me directly." Hoberg's argument was rather weak.

"We've looked for you, and Andy has looked for you, but what's your answer? It's not a big deal! You didn't even think about our request! The operator of the mobile vehicle immediately retorted.

"Sean, you've been shooting these bits and pieces all this time, what do you think?" After stopping the two from talking, Minghella groaned and asked Sean.

"I don't suggest you consult me, Mr. Minghella." Sean quietly pushed out, "After all, I'm one of the parties, you can ask other people, such as Mr. Rick in charge of lighting, or Mr. Wright from the props team, they were all involved in part of the shooting." By the way, you can also ask Jude, the day before yesterday and yesterday, he had shots. ”

Minghella immediately looked at Jude, who was stunned, then looked at Sean before shrugging: "Sorry, Anthony, I only have a few shots, but ...... They're not really in great shape, including Sean,"

"I'll admit that the arrangement is a bit wrong," Hoberg quickly relented, "but it's not for anyone, I just want to improve the efficiency of the shooting, and you agreed to it at the beginning." ”

It's okay that he didn't say this, and as soon as he said it, Minghella narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and then quickly waved his hand: "Okay, William, you don't have to be an executive producer anymore." ”

Then he turned around and raised his arm to the people around him: "Don't worry, everyone, we will adjust the work arrangement as soon as possible to ensure that everyone has a rest, and such a mistake will not be made again." ”

The crowd burst into cheers, and then, as Sean took the lead in applauding, the applause resounded through the studio.

"No, you can't do that!" After the shock, the dejected Hohlberg immediately protested, "I am ......"

"I'll call Harvey, William," Minghella said, "and I'll give him a better fit." ”

Then, he leaned in front of him again: "Also, Federico will leave with you, and then tell Harvey to put away these little gestures!" Don't think I don't see anything! ”

On the other side, Sean, who clapped hands with several assistants in celebration, took in the movements of the two, and although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could roughly guess it. If Chiciarelli also follows and gets out, he should be a little more comfortable in the future days in the crew.

Hoberg is not very clever at this time, but it is enough to deal with a newcomer like Sean who lacks experience on the set. It's just that he is so anxious that he ignores some basic things, and while he is squeezing Sean, he is also squeezing various departments, after all, one person can't make a movie.

Fragmentary shots like this that are not too difficult are generally handed over to the deputy, the director's deputy, the gaffer's deputy, the on-site deputy, and so on. If the main persons in charge of each department were there, Hoberg might not dare to be so presumptuous, but most of them were deputies, and they naturally ignored the past in their hearts.

After Sean noticed this, he immediately took the opportunity to help everywhere to instill the concept of Hoberg as the initiator to these deputies and assistants, and he had left a good impression on them because of this, plus Galen also helped to instigate it. So, when Hoberg tried to target him, he didn't think that he was the target of the public.

And it's impossible for Minghella, as a director, not to be completely unaware of these things, let alone Dekkers? Roman, the assistant, was blowing the wind on the side. Frederick told Sean what happened, he has an interest in Roman, as long as he is still in the crew, Roman's credit will be constantly mentioned, and it is not difficult to move him to do a favor.

This, coupled with Jude's seemingly fair but partial-looking description of Jude who was dragged into the water, and Hoberg's own slip of the tongue, finally made him cocooned.

"So, proper patience is needed." Sean said this to Galen, and then received a thumbs up-

Hoberg and Chicciarelli left the crew that day, and Sean had a weekend that should have been very happy, but Zuihou, to the noise of Bock, the sound of Lucy's sleep, and Galen's teasing.

Happiness is naturally the biggest trouble is gone, and then it should be easy for a while, and weishenme will become only more pleasant? It's because the annual Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and he doesn't know how to spend it. You must know that in the past few years, he would always harvest a lot of chocolates at this time, but this year he didn't have one, so Galen laughed at him for a long time, saying that he finally didn't have to be jealous, and teasingly asked if he wanted to buy a box for him.

But that's not the main reason, the main reason is that Jordana is coming to Los Angeles again and has taken the initiative to ask him out.

"I've got a lot of calls for offers, so how about a favor?" Although Jordana said so, Sean understood the meaning very well.

Unfortunately, just a minute before she called, Sean made an appointment with Naomi......

So, after thinking about it, Sean had no choice but to decline Jordana's invitation on the grounds of recent filming tensions, and then called Naomi to say that the crew had something to do temporarily and could only cancel the date. The moment he hung up, he clearly heard Naomi's sigh of disappointment and relief.

There's no way, it's okay if it's just at home, but if you want to go on the street, who knows if you will run into it, Los Angeles and Hollywood say that if it's small, it's not big. If this happens, then the fun will be great, so even if there is a lot of unwillingness in my heart, it can only be like this.

It's really unwilling, it's a Valentine's Day date! Refusal and cancellation are tantamount to...... But what could be better? So Zuihou only found someone to send flowers and chocolates is still indispensable, of course, two servings.

Fortunately, Valentine's Day is only one day, and the shooting is not very easy, although without Hoberg's squeezing, he still has a lot to do, so he will leave it behind for the time being.

The next week or so of filming went very smoothly, and slowly learned to adjust his Sean, because he wanted to express himself more, and there was no secret calculation to worry about, plus he had made sufficient preparations before, and he was in good shape, and some non-close-up shots were even passed once.

"An excellent actor, 80% of his next effort is outside of filming." Harrington had told Sean about it.

Indeed, analyzing a character, figuring out the character, sketching the image in the head, and communicating with others are all things that are not part of the shoot, and the more prepared you are, the more confident you will be in the performance. Especially Sean's accumulation is not enough, if he wants to be worthy of Minghella's trust, then he can only work preparation, and now it seems that he is doing quite well.

The only thing that makes him a little depressed is that the small actions and small details of the design are basically useless, just some simple ones don't matter, but as long as there are more, Minghella will definitely stop, and then let him do less of these, it seems that the more details, the better.

However, the relationship with several leading actors is slowly deepening, Hoffman will not talk about it, and after a long time of contact, you will find that he is a very good person.

"An actor like me can only look slowly and find a path that suits him." He is very open to his career, "This can sharpen his acting skills and cultivate his patience, as long as he works hard, when he has accumulated enough, sooner or later he will have his own brilliance." ”

"You're definitely accomplishing more than we are, Phil." Sean said this, and sincerely, he has always respected those who don't give up easily, because he is such a person himself.

As for Jude, he was still very average for now, and it might have been better if he hadn't asked him to help talk about Hoberg's affairs. But it's okay now, at least it's not as cold as it was at the beginning, and I'll still say a couple of words from time to time, as long as it doesn't become like it was at the beginning, I'll still get acquainted with it after all.

At least, during one break, Jude half-jokingly and half-sarcastically said to him, "I think you're as clever and cunning as Ripley, Sean." ”

"But you're certainly not as arrogant as Dick, Jude." Sean replied, having to admit that he was very good at talking.

Things just went on slowly, and then, new actors came to the crew to report in.

"Sorry, I'm late." As voices came from outside the tent, a tall woman walked in.

The light-colored trench coat held her figure perfectly, her long blonde hair hung down curly, her gray-blue eyes smiled like nothing, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. Although the facial features are a little tough, not too beautiful, but the temperament is very outstanding, similar to Gwyneth, with a bit of elegance and nobility, but more of an indescribable demeanor.

"It's okay, it's a lady's patent to be late." Minghella, who sat at the top, made a rare joke.

Still, the girl explained, "I'm really sorry, Anthony, I didn't expect a traffic jam on 25th Street." ”

"Sit down, Kate, we're going to get started." Minghella waved his hand, then began to introduce, "Sean, this is Kate, Kate?" Blanchett, who plays Meredith? Rogge; Kate, this is Sean, Sean? Don, he plays Tom? Ripley. ”

"Nice to meet you, Sean." The other man then smiled and got up and stretched out his hand.

"Me too, Ms. Blanchett...... Well...... Kate, can I call you that? Sean was a little speechless for a while, and after sitting down, he also hung his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Are you shy, Sean?" Minghella couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, I just ......" Sean quickly raised his head again, making meaningless gestures, "I was a little rude just now, so I'm a little embarrassed." ”

"That's not rude, is it? Everybody calls me that, and I call you by your name, am I rude? The girl looked at him with an interested look.

"No, I'm just ......" a depressed Sean wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

"Alright, stop here, let's get started." Minghella said at this time.

The lines don't have to be right every day, although if necessary, the director will ask for it. However, there are actors, and they are also the main actors, if they report to the crew for the first time, such formal lines are indispensable. As I said before, one is familiar with the script, the second is familiar with the role, and the third is familiar with the actors who want to play or play against them.

This scene is not long, it took about ten minutes to almost finish, and after a brief introduction to each other, Sean immediately went back to the trailer to wait for the notice, and as soon as he entered the car door, he collapsed on the sofa and sighed.
