After eating a fragrant breakfast in the morning, the two simply cleaned up and went to the crew together, very generous, and did not hide the relationship between each other.

The relationship between men and women is very common, and it abounds in Hollywood crews.

Work is work, life is life.

Ryan has always made it clear that he will not relax his demands on Charlize Theron because of Charlize Theron's catwalk last night.

However, today Nicolas Cage seems to have a cold, and Ryan can only temporarily change the shooting plan.

Well, it seems a bit of a crow's mouth.

But at the beginning of filming, Ryan encountered a problem, and the little actor Helen found, even though he was over ten years old, still had a problem.

In the first shot, the little actor's performance, is barely okay.

But then, in the scene in the script where little Truman drowned his father because of his naughtiness, Ryan just shouted, and the little actor immediately turned pale, and his whole body was soaked in water at a loss.

"Stop!" Ryan could only stop again, rubbing his temples impatiently.

To be honest, he can tolerate the clumsiness of his acting skills, and it's a big deal to shoot it a few more times.

But the little actor in front of him is obviously not a problem of acting skills, but a little afraid of water.

Ryan had already asked people to minimize some of the water, but when he was soaked in the water, his face was still pale.

In the face of an underage child, Ryan couldn't do much, not even get angry, and in desperation, he walked over himself and asked, "Honey, it seems that you are a little afraid of water." ”

The little actor nodded vigorously, looking at the pool built not far away, his face turned a little paler.

Seeing this, Ryan stood up, shook his head, and said to Gail Anne Hurd, "Let Helen change to a small actor again." ”

Afraid of water may not be an unsolvable problem, but the crew has no time, and the best way to wait for a young actor is to replace him directly.

What's more, when signing the contract, there are special clauses in it, and once you can't shoot normally, you can choose to negotiate and terminate the contract.

"I'll inform Helen right away. Gail-Anne-Hurd agreed, and turned to walk off into the distance.

All the extras, background cloths, and some less important small roles in the crew are from Star Agency, so Helen has been running in two places these days.

"Take a half-hour break, let Sophia inform, change the shooting plan in the afternoon, and shoot the baby first. Ryan had to change his shooting schedule again.

The crew is most afraid of shooting scenes of babies, underage actors and animal actors, but according to the script, it is necessary to shoot from the birth of the male protagonist until he grows up, and must deal with babies and underage actors.

The only good thing is that there aren't a lot of shots of the baby, and there is no need for any performance, just show your face.

The morning passed, and only a few shots were taken, and more than half of them probably needed to be reshot.

Lunch had just ended, and Helen hurried over.

"I'm sorry, I'll let people audition again. Helen is a little helpless about this, afraid of water?

When I auditioned at the beginning, I looked at the acting skills at most, who would have thought that he would be afraid of water.

"By the way, you can take a look at this first!" As she spoke, Helen pulled out a script.

Ryan took the script and glanced at it, and said a little strangely: ""Ace Correspondent"!"

"Project in Colombia!"

"Yes. Helen didn't seem to see Ryan's weird expression and said, "Columbia wants to make an action comedy, and you're one of the directorial candidates." ”

"If you refuse, you will say that I have no schedule for the time being. ”

"Remember to be tactful. Ryan didn't bother to think about it, so he chose to refuse.

"Ace Correspondent", a project invested by Colombia with a budget of $47 million, seems to be a decent project.

But in fact, Jim Carrey's salary alone is as high as $20 million, and if Ryan's directing fee is added, it will reach a very staggering figure.

Unless Colombia can provide additional funding, it will be very difficult to achieve the desired results with the original investment budget.

Even if Ryan is faced with a film where the actor's salary almost exceeds the cost of filming, he does not dare to guarantee that the box office will recover the cost.

A non-sequel film, not adapted from the same name, not a commercial production with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and the salary of the film's starring role is as high as 20 million US dollars, which is a joke.

However, Colombia has done a lot of things like this, and I have to say that Sony is really rich.

"I'll turn back Colombia on your behalf. Helen agreed, without the slightest hint of persuasion.

Apparently she is not very optimistic about the project either.

Moreover, Ryan's current shooting task is very heavy, and it is impossible to be distracted.

After looking at the time, Ryan stood up and said, "In the afternoon, I still have some shots to shoot, and I need someone to pick up Nancy Ötley and Mike Figgis at the airport for me." ”

"Leaving Las Vegas" has finished filming, and after a simple editing, the touchstone needs to hold a small preview for the film, which is attended by only a few representatives of the theater company except for the main actor in the film.

This is Canada, not Los Angeles, and the litmus test is unlikely to invite many fans, critics, and journalists.

Even, Monica Bellucci didn't come, she needed to participate in professional training in addition to rehearsals, and she couldn't spare time.

Helen nodded in agreement, got up and left the crew, she needed to leave for the airport.

The filming in the afternoon was relatively smooth, and the baby actor found by the crew, accompanied by her parents, shot several shots one after another.

For this, the crew needs to pay $1,000.

The salary of baby actors has never been cheap, and they were found locally in Toronto, and her parents did not let go of the $1,000 bite, so in order not to delay time, they could only agree.

As for why you don't choose the actors of Star Agency!

It's very simple, you can't find a baby actor from Los Angeles for a baby with only a few shots, and pay at least two round-trip air tickets, accommodation, food, etc. in addition to the salary.

Another point is that she is a girl, not a boy, anyway, she is a baby, and it is difficult to distinguish between a male and a female.

In the evening, Ryan ended filming half an hour early, let the crew start to pack up the props, and he and Nicolas Cage, Sophia, and Gail Anne Hurd left the crew.

The small preview screening in the evening was very important, but the focus was not on Touchstone and Nancy Ertley, but on several representatives of the cinema company who came together.

Whether a film can sell well in the end, in addition to the plot content and distribution company, is inseparable from the support of the theater company and the attitude of the theater company.

If it is a work that seems to hit the street almost 100%, no matter how hard the distribution company tries, the theater company will not come up with too many screens.

Of course, "Leaving Las Vegas" is not a commercial film, but an art film, even if the theater company is optimistic, it will not give too many resources in the end.

The main purpose of this test screening is to negotiate with the theater company about the long-term screening.

Art films are generally released at the end of the year, and "Leaving Las Vegas" is no exception, and the annual Oscars are held in mid-March of the following year, which means that the film needs to be extended to be screened, at least until early April next year.

This needs to be negotiated with the theater company in advance, and when the first wave of movie-watching is over, only a few screening halls need to be left and played in turn with a bunch of art films until the Oscar nominations are announced next year.
