"It's hard to say—"

Faced with Charlize's question, Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"He's the quintessential Hollywood man, and if he has the chance, he won't let it go. But he's not the kind of person who gets carried away by the lower half of his body, and this is his first time as a director......"

"So it's all about how much he values this opportunity to direct independently, how seriously he takes it, right?"

Charlize understood what Charlotte meant.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this! After all, even if a big man wants to take advantage of the hunt, the heroine will be the first to target, and you are a little too self-conscious. ”

Charlotte comforts Charlize in his own way, and the blonde agrees:

"It's true that they may not be able to look at a little person like me, but the reverse may be ......"

"Are you saying that because of the small people, it is possible to be more unscrupulous?"

Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little headache,

"It's a possibility. In fact, in this kind of low-cost horror film, the degree of unruliness of the real power characters in the crew is second only to those independent literary films, no way, no matter whether it is lost or earned, the influence is limited, and the upper echelons of the production company do not pay attention to it at all, which gives those middle-level who control the crew the opportunity to do their own thing. is a real big-budget commercial film, because there are too many interests involved, and under the mutual checks and balances, there are relatively few of these bad things. Anyway, be flexible!"

In the end, Charlotte could only give this solution that was not a solution.

"Speaking of which, Sally, although I don't personally appreciate it, I can honestly say that in Hollywood, there are too many actresses who are willing to unbutton when faced with an opportunity, even Julia Roberts. What are you doing with this in this regard?"

Charlotte knew her question was a jerk, but he couldn't resist asking. After getting along for a while, he has confirmed that Charlize, the blonde girl sitting on the carpet now, is indeed the same person as the big star Theron in the future. Such a beauty with the potential to become a big star, although she saved her, she is not a handsome guy who is a heartthrob, and she is not a real power figure, but although the other party's recent behavior is not obvious, there is indeed a deliberate intention to bring the relationship between the two closer, why is this?

Charlotte doesn't believe in love at first sight, he is long past the age of believing in fairy tales, and, if it is really love at first sight or gratitude or something, she can express it as early as when she completed the exorcism for Charlize, why is this feeling obvious after meeting again?

He is not a suspicious person, but in the face of Charlize's unusual performance among women who drift in Hollywood, he always has a sense of unreality. Is it really persistence, or is it acting, but there is actually something else? Charlotte felt that now was an opportunity to figure it out.

"Is this insistence for what?"

The blonde girl didn't seem to perceive Charlotte's intentions, her eyes were hazy, and she seemed to be caught in a memory,

"Actually, I've asked myself this question more than once, and to be honest, I've never gotten an answer. Maybe it's just pride! Although reality will eventually shatter our pride to the ground, mixed with our self-esteem, and step into the mud together, I still hope to hold on for a longer time if possible. ”

“...... Well, I wish you the best of luck until the day you succeed!"

Although it wasn't the answer she wanted, Charlotte didn't feel the need to go any further. After all, not to mention sincerely, if it is acting skills, if you can achieve this level, Charlize can be regarded as a super-level performance, so if you ask again, there will be no other results except for increasing embarrassment.

- Anyway, if you see people's hearts for a long time, you will understand sooner or later.

Charlotte nodded, pulling the topic back again,

"Although I'm not a big figure in the crew, I'm an artist, but I can still say something. If there's anything, I'll help. ”

"You think you're a big guy and you're dictating my script!?"

Although Charlotte told Charlize last night that he was not a big man in the new crew, but at the new film preparation meeting the next day, he found out that he was not the only one who was not a big man in the crew. Or, there is only one big man in the crew-

"You're just a piece of shit sent by the New Line Company to help, you just need to do what a shit needs to do - stay there and do nothing, stink!, or let me get rid of you!!"

Although according to the rules of the industry, Anthony Westwood, the producer of the new film, should have at least as much power as the director in the crew, but the current situation is that the director Alan W. B. Mike Arrowy was pointing at his nose and drenching the bloody dog he was scolding. And the poor producer can only smile all over his face and spit on himself.

"Alan, Alan, don't get excited! I just think our budget seems a little short of the requirements of the scenes in the script. Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?"

"Of course it's a big problem!"

The director's face was unhappy,

"Mr. Producer, I warn you! I'm Alan Mike Arrowy, not Alan Smith who made up a fiction to wipe your butts for you producers, please don't play tricks on my crew!"

- Alan Smith is the producer's transitional interference in the filming, which caused the director to break up in anger, unwilling to use the producer's fictitious name to wipe his ass when he signed the film to admit that it was his own work at the end of the film. This "great director" has a lot of works, and many famous works such as "Dune" and "Yin and Yang Demon World" have been attributed to him. Director Allen is now offering this name, which basically refers to the nose of producer Westwood, telling him to either shut up or simply come on his own.

"I didn't—"

In the face of this very serious accusation or provocation, Westwood did not explode in anger like ordinary producers, but wanted to explain. But before he could finish speaking, Alan interrupted him again:

"And, about the budget funding for the film, I remember ......"

Mr. Director pointed to his nose with his thumb,

"Do you have any comments on this?"

“...... Without. ”

Westwood looked a little dejected.

- The composition of this crew is not quite right, the producer, who is supposed to have a very say in terms of budget funds, was dumbfounded by the director when talking about money. What's going on?

Charlotte was wondering if she had gotten on the thief ship by mistake, but she saw Mr. Director, who had just taken the producer's sacrifice flag, stand up:

"Gentlemen, it's true that, as Mr. Westwood said, our budget is a bit tight, but the problem in this area is not insurmountable! On the one hand, if all goes well, new funds will be added later, and on the other hand, I believe that with your ability and experience, it will be okay to make some contribution to the savings of funds, especially the artist in charge of the set and props, Mr. Charlotte Booth, am I right?"

"This ......"

- Although I really want to answer "you don't have money to make a hairy movie", Charlotte also knows that saying this is basically not much different from handing in a resignation letter. Of course, he didn't directly agree to come down, after all, once he agreed, this pot would be completely on his back.

"Of course, there are ways to save money on scenes and props, but this needs to be done after the scenery is completed. At the moment, I can't give a specific answer to whether or how much I can save. ”

Charlotte tried to put on a stern and stereotypical expert look, but everyone in the room knew he was playing tricks. Of course, this slippery head is very technical-

The so-called Kanjing, to put it simply, is actually to check the scene to be filmed to see if the desired effect can be achieved. If you don't do a good job of setting up the scenery before shooting, the scheduling is unreasonable, the scene noise is serious, and even when filming historical dramas, it is only a trivial matter to shoot very modern buildings such as tower cranes in the background, and what is more troublesome is that many shots in the original storyboard script may be completely invalid due to various problems such as angle lighting. Therefore, in the preparation stage of the filming, from the director to the heads of multiple departments such as lighting and camera, they must participate in the scenery in order to know what to do.

When it comes to the set work that Charlotte is responsible for as an artist, there are a lot of things to do when looking at the set. How to set the set, what props are needed, and how to arrange the props must be confirmed after the site inspection. If you don't have the conditions for live shooting, you also need to manually set up the scenery - in order not to make the kind of five-cent scene effect that makes people feel like a goof, many details must be taken care of, and it is indispensable to adapt to local conditions.

From this point of view, Charlotte is indeed true to say that she must be able to give a specific financial need after the scene, of course, experienced artists can estimate an approximate figure, but in the face of harsh requirements, it is indeed the only way to delay time and play tricks.

"Alright, then let's wait until we're done with the view!"

Of course, director Allen is dissatisfied that Charlotte did not directly agree as he hoped, but as mentioned earlier, in the face of this kind of serious argument, he really has nothing to do.

"Then let's talk about the scenery and casting......
