Chapter 026: Long live the director

Before the text, thank you for the red envelope of the recommendation ticket sent by my dad yesterday, thank you for your support and recommendation.

The text begins ******

"What!? Again, I suspect I haven't woken up yet. ”

Sometimes, the good news feels like a bolt from the blue, and although it won't be cloudy afterward, it can make people's minds feel the same. Especially a beautiful blonde with blue eyes like a Persian cat making a fuss in front of him, showing his teeth and claws, is really very joyful.

"I don't know if you woke up from your sleep, but you heard me right!"

Charlize, who had expected this reaction from the blonde girl, repeated very formally,

"You, Charlize Theron, are now officially the heroine of this film!Clear!?"

"Ah......h

Obviously, Charlize still didn't seem to understand, Charlotte ignored her, took a look, and found that everyone was there, so she shouted for everyone to come over.

"Now we have two important announcements!"

It was producer Westwood who spoke, and he glanced at the men and women in front of him,

"Ladies and gentlemen, our previous director, Alan Mike Arrowy, was unable to continue directing the film for some personal reasons, so the official directing work will be carried out by—"

He patted Charlotte's shoulder standing beside him vigorously with his hand, making a very affectionate look,

Mr. Booth is young and promising, and I and the senior management of the new line company trust his ability, and I hope you can cooperate well in the future!"

“What!?”

...... Just like the night before, everyone present who heard the news was shocked and couldn't help but whisper. However, there are no people who have come out to oppose it, not to mention the producer Westwood's very obvious platform, so that anyone who still has brains in their heads can feel the producer's support for Charlotte as a new director.

- For these young actors, making films is just to make a living. It doesn't matter who the director is, as long as he has the money to get it! Although many people also dream of becoming famous overnight, the disputes between the directors and producers are definitely the way to death for those low-level personnel who are not even stars. Although they can't write, they absolutely understand the meaning, and if they didn't have this self-knowledge, they would have been kicked out of Hollywood a long time ago.

"Good!"

Seeing that everyone present easily accepted the facts, Westwood was satisfied,

Since there is no objection from everyone, then the second message is next. This time, Richard, it's up to you to announce it!"

The "Richard" that Westwood refers to is none other than the old gun. For them, the boss of the producer may not know him because of his few appearances, but the old gun who has served as the casting director has a memorable red beard, and they definitely know it all after they have auditioned. This is Charlotte's special arrangement before, and the old gun is also present, which can make Westwood and Charlotte's words better corroborate.

The old gun wore some neatly ironed old suits, but he didn't pretend to be as majestic as Westwood—and then again, his Viking appearance was intimidating enough to many who didn't know him.

"The second piece of news is that the previous heroine, Miss Eliza Kunis, is unfortunately unable to work with us due to schedule problems. So, the crew decided that Miss Charlize Theron would take over as the heroine!"

“WTF!”

If when producer Westwood announced the first news, the people present were more surprised, but now when they hear the second news, they are completely envious and jealous. Most of the actors present were young actors, and they were basically helpless about the director's change of this game of thrones, whether Charlotte was really capable or someone above them, they had nothing to say. But when they found that a heroine suddenly appeared among everyone, they were completely not calm-

Everyone used to play tricks, why can you Charlize suddenly get ahead?—— especially the previous few young girls who were planned to play the same supporting actress as Charlize, at this time, looking at Charlize can already be described as "the lava of hell".

"Look, I'll say it......"

The old gun spread his hands at Charlotte, looking like he had expected it, but the latter didn't care. Jealousy is a thing that is indispensable everywhere, let alone suddenly announcing it now, it is even more inevitable. But in the same way, a group of actors who are not even third-tier stars cannot object to the crew's decision.

"Alright, everyone!"

Seeing that everyone had gradually accepted the two news just now, Charlotte slapped her face,

"In order to make the plot of the film more coherent, we urgently revised the script again. The new script will be sent to you next, so please read it in advance on the way to the location with us. ”

After speaking, let the new script be distributed to everyone.

“...... New script?"

Although revising the script while shooting is a necessary skill for almost every director, and it is rare for a film to be exactly the same as the script before shooting, it is rare to have this kind of emergency script change the day before shooting. However, this time the actors didn't talk about it any more, as if the previous two major news had consumed their surprise value, and they just silently opened the new script and began to look.

"This time, we were able to complete the three major events of changing the director, changing the heroine, and revising the script in just two days, and it was recognized by all investors, our luck is really good! Richard, it seems that your lucky suit is really useful!"

Letting the actors accept the new director and script, producer Westwood was also relieved, and he patted the old gun on the shoulder and made a joke.

"Let's hope we have the best luck in the future!"

The old gun was not overly optimistic, he straightened the lucky suit on his body, which was old but ironed very neatly,

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, it's amazing how you were able to revise the script and prepare a new shooting plan in two days!"

"yes!"

When Westwood heard this, he sighed,

"In terms of quality, I can't comment on it, but in terms of speed, Charlotte, you can revise the script faster than many first-class screenwriters!"

"When I laid out the scene before, I had the idea of changing it. Now it's just a matter of putting it into practice!"

Charlotte smiled modestly. Although he also knew that Americans with thicker lines and more direct lines didn't actually eat this set, he really didn't have a sense of accomplishment for his quick completion of the script revision-

As I said before, director Allen's previous script was somewhat similar to the "Fatal Bend" in his memory. When Charlotte researched how to set up the scenes, she always did it in comparison with the scene layout of "Fatal Bend", which further increased this similarity. And after Charlotte took over the guide, he simply stole the beams and replaced the script of the new "Fatal Bend" that he had spent more than two months before, combining the ideas of his predecessor Charlotte and his own memory, and set this name as the final name of the movie.

- Anyway, the similarity between the two is indeed not low. Although Charlotte's script is not necessarily better than Allen's, it is relatively simple and less expensive to shoot, which is a big boon for a crew that is not very well funded. What's more, using Charlotte's own script, he can directly compare the shooting content with the movie picture of "Fatal Bend" in his head, which is tantamount to a super plug-in for him who is a director for the first time and lacks control.

Of course, this is from Charlotte's point of view. From the perspective of Westwood and the old gun, it is completely different, especially the producer Westwood-

He asked Charlotte to succeed him as director before, which was more of a helpless choice. Privately, he was full of doubts about Charlotte's ability, and he didn't expect that this artist-turned-fellow would be able to complete the script revision and reformulate the shooting plan in two days - in fact, although he hoped to continue filming in order to fulfill his wish, he was ready to postpone or even completely freeze the film. However, the new script and shooting plan that Charlotte came up with surprised him.

It was with this concise but graphic script, as well as a fairly detailed shooting plan, that several investors who had deliberately given up because of the disappearance of director Allen were once again reinforced, and recognized the fact that Charlotte would succeed as director - in fact, for three days after getting the new script, Westwood had been running around with Charlotte.

After all, even if Westwood is the producer, he is not alone in a matter as big as changing directors. Not to mention the upper echelons of the new line company, which is the producer, the other major investors also need to be visited by them one by one. Thanks to Charlotte's eloquence, the project that was supposed to be frozen because of the director's disappearance turned out to have a bright future for him......

"This guy is definitely in the wrong business! Such a good eloquence, a cheeky man who lies with empty teeth and white teeth, should be a lawyer!"

Westwood muttered to himself,

"If you really do what he said, and make use of the waste of that missing bastard of Allen, maybe you can really ......"

Charlotte, on the other hand, was not as relieved as Westwood. In fact, for him who is in charge of the guide tube for the first time, the previous preparations are good to say, and the real test has just begun. At this time, there was both nervousness and a hint of excitement in his heart:

"Let's try Lao Tzu's unique spell shooting!"
