She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Joseph McNeill seemed a little unimpressed by Su Lingxi's remarks, but he did not argue with her. Instead, he cleverly changed the subject, "Nicole, Dailan is a charming and mysterious character. She symbolizes healthy beauty. We need to take some measures to show the character's characteristics, don't we? This is my responsibility as a director, and it is also your responsibility as an actor."

Considering the occasion, Su Lingxi didn't say anything too harsh, but her tone was not good at all. "I'm sorry, I can't agree with your point of view. Joseph, we are shooting an action film from a female perspective. We need to show strength and action skills. Have you ever seen a male actor play a game of cross-dressing in an action movie? To be honest, you shouldn't treat us differently in this matter."

If McNeill can use "art" as an excuse to occupy the moral high ground, then she can also use "gender issues" as an excuse to accuse him - sex discrimination is a sensitive topic that everyone in Hollywood avoids talking about, and she is sure that McNeill does not have the courage to prove this "crime."

Sure enough, as she expected, McNeill's face changed instantly after hearing these words.

"Hey, Nicole, there's no comparison between the two, can you understand that?" He was clearly annoyed, and even the smile on his face looked very stiff. "The film has a different perspective, so of course the filming techniques will be different. You can't use the narrative standards of Mission Impossible and other films to demand us to do this. It's totally unrealistic and will only make real insiders laugh..."

To be honest, the scene of McNeill defending himself with a red face and thick neck was not very beautiful, and Su Lingxi had no interest in arguing with him in public, so he remained silent and let him talk on alone.

But perhaps stimulated by the giggles of other staff members, McNeill became more and more excited and even became angry and began to attack her personally, saying that she was just a "layman who didn't understand movies."

Su Lingxi reacted calmly to this, but Jacqueline, who was listening on the side, was furious at his words.

"Stop talking bullshit here, you annoying bastard! Fuck you!" She stroked her hair irritably and slapped the two cups of coffee on the table - including Su Lingxi's cup. "Do you think we are easy to bully because we are women? You hateful piece of shit, do you dare to tell Arnold Schwarzenegger what you just said?"

"Art, art, art! What kind of art is this? Go ask Dwayne Johnson, is this the art of action movies? Tom Henry, Simon Ayres... There are so many popular action series, why don't I see those men showing off their bodies in the movies?"

"I'm warning you, Joseph, if you continue to pollute my ears with this kind of bullshit, I'll let you know what it costs to anger me."

Jacqueline spoke very quickly. After saying a long string of swear words, she seemed still unsatisfied. She snatched the coffee from her assistant's hand and poured it directly on McNeill's chest.

Su Lingxi could feel that the entire set had fallen completely silent at this moment. Everyone seemed to have lost the ability to speak and just stood there blankly watching Jacqueline leave gracefully.

——Even McNeill, the person involved, is no exception.

Su Lingxi glanced at the idiotic expression on his face calmly and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

How should I put it, watching the whole scene was quite satisfying.

"Joseph, you know, Jacqueline has always been outspoken and impulsive in doing things. You must not bother with her - she is just an ignorant girl." Jacqueline's agent Maggie reacted before others and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize with a smile.

The words sounded nice, but Su Lingxi took one look at her empty hands and then at McNeill's tweed jacket with coffee still dripping from it, and immediately realized that she was just a temporary role to help Jacqueline play the good guy.

Well... judging by how skilled this agent was in stepping forward in time, this shouldn't be the first time that Jacqueline has had this kind of "accident" on the set.

"Not famous, but bad temper." McNeill muttered indignantly, but he didn't dare to use Joe in front of Maggie - the other party was so humble, if he pursued it, it would seem petty. "Anyway, Maggie, as an adult, Jacqueline's behavior today was too rude, you really should take the time to teach her a lesson!"

"Of course, she is a little willful. I think this is a problem that will take a long time to correct." Maggie responded with a smile, but a trace of impatience flashed across her eyes. "I'm sorry, Joseph, you look a little bad. Maybe... do you need my help?"

"Thank you, but no thanks." McNeill said stiffly, and took out a tissue to wipe the coffee stains that had not dried on the surface of his clothes.

Su Lingxi could guess without looking closely that his clothes were probably ruined.

It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. After thinking it over, she took the initiative to smooth things over. "Joseph, maybe Jacqueline did use the wrong method out of anxiety, but I agree with her point of view."

"We spent so much time designing plot twists and fighting moves, but in the end, can we only use body shape as a selling point to attract audiences? Can't we have more confidence in our work?"

"You are the creator of the script. If you don't have enough confidence in the story itself, then I think the failure of this movie can be foreseen even before it is released."

Human nature is complex. Although Joseph McNeill is a little mean and cowardly, if you put aside the common male flaws in him, he is a talented director and not an old fogey who is so stubborn that he won't listen to any advice.

Su Lingxi didn't want to criticize him or change him, she just wanted to convince him so that the final result of their efforts could be better.

Although the plot of "Angelica Madame" is much weaker than those brain-burning science fiction films, it still has some good plot design, especially the big plot reversal in the later stage. As long as the filming is good, the impact it brings to the audience will definitely not be small.

In this case, if they really perform to show off their bodies as required by the director and producer, then no matter how interesting the plot is or how powerful the martial arts moves are, the audience will only see the female bodies and primitive sexual appeal of the three leading actors.

In Su Lingxi's opinion, an action movie that claims to have a female perspective and advocates female independence should not over-objectify and entertain women themselves.

If you want to pursue visual stimulation, then make the fighting scenes and big scenes to the extreme, and the effect will be the same.
