Producer [American Entertainment]

The crew of "007: Top Secret" has a lot of staff, and management is likely to cause confusion. It also means that the division of responsibilities and rights is more detailed. They have a public relations team that is responsible for responding to media crises. A whole team is always on standby. The existence of soldiers for daily use.

Just like the supporting actor Top in the previous crew was scratched on the face due to acting, the public relations team that dealt with the crisis immediately took care of everything in an orderly manner.

Dealing with the media, dealing with injured actors, and dealing with accident investigators sent by insurance companies to wrestle with each other.

The supporting actress' double accident happened too fast, and William's previous request that "actors, regardless of their size, must be insured" has not been implemented in time, but the 007 crew has also taken out some piecemeal collective insurance before.The PR is negotiating with the insurance company for this.The production crew wants to compensate as much as possible, while the insurance company wants to pay as little as possible, and it is best not to pay, and it is better to push the responsibility to the production crew.

This is the insurance company.When coaxing you to get insurance, it treats you as a god; after you actually have an accident, it treats you as a class enemy.

Therefore, William does not need to face the media. His main job is to appease the unstable crew and watch several working groups continue filming as usual.Still the same sentence, one more day of shutdown is one day's money.It is impossible for the crew to stop filming because of these things.

Albert, who has rich experience and is good at handling various crew crises, made the best use of his resources to lead the public relations team and conduct media interviews.

Every time an accident occurs, whether it is a natural or man-made disaster, or a government or private enterprise, the focus of public attention, apart from the injured, is always the same theme - who is responsible for this incident.

Randomly pulling out a temporary worker will definitely not be able to handle it.The production assistant who managed the props on the set has resigned, but it's no use at all.The paparazzi are still holding on to the old story of the stuntman's accident and the previous supporting actor's face being scratched. One accident can be called an accident, so what about two?Is there a third, fourth, and fifth episode that they don't know about?

The media continued to exert pressure, forcing the 007 crew to give an account of their rights.No one will believe that there is no competitor contributing to the flames.Seeing that the summer vacation of the major giants is coming, no one wants to collide with 007 at this juncture.

But what if you knew?If you make trouble yourself, you have to clean it up even if you kneel down.

Albert would definitely not dare to take William, who had just joined the group, as the top bag. Even if he didn't know the relationship between William and Elizabeth, he would not dare to do so, unless he wanted to completely turn against Sabatino of Microsoft.How many people in Hollywood don't yearn for Wall Street?And what's hottest on Wall Street right now?Electronic technology!Sabatino is a big money maker, and he only rushes up to hug his thigh and call him godfather, but he has never seen anyone rushing to offend him.

As for the other producer of the film crew, he is from the top management of United Artists. He is not in Italy at all, so he has no conditions to take the blame.

It seems too unrealistic to spend money to let the female stuntman say that it was caused by her own mistakes.Elizabeth's people are in the hospital, taking care of each other all the time.It was impossible for Albert to hide from William and contact the female double in private.As for trying to get William to agree to this plan... Albert never thought about it. Although he didn't meet many times, it was enough for him to understand what kind of person William was.

To be honest, if a person like William has no background, he is destined to be unable to get along in Hollywood, but who made him have a background, it is still a big enough background to scare people.Even if William wanted to be the prince of the "All the world is good people" country for the rest of his life, Sabatino could do it for him.

After much deliberation, only Wilson, who should be responsible for this matter, is more suitable to be pushed out.

but……

"Dad, you must help me. I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong." Before Albert could do anything, he didn't go to the set that afternoon and stayed in Albert's suite all the time. Ersen, already crying and howling regardless of his face.

Someone gave Wilson an idea before, telling him that he might as well "venture" to the media and give the hat to William.

But Wilson is not a fool, he is a lawyer who has been working for several years, and he is very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. When nothing happens, he dares to rely on his stepfather and William. It's too late to make a move, so how could it be possible to die so far?What he said to William on the set at that time has made him terrified now, and his calves are spinning.

All Wilson begged now was that William would not sell him, or that his stepfather would not sell him himself.

Albert was really cruel and didn't care about Wilson, a professional cheating stepson, but before Albert could say a few harsh words, his wife's international call came.

The moment the bell rang, Albert knew that it was still impossible for him to leave Wilson alone, otherwise he would have another divorce.

Albert's wife is very smart. She didn't beg for a husband for her son as soon as she came up on the phone. Instead, she scolded her son severely and finally ordered him to stop making trouble on the set and let him go back to the United States and let her Looking introspective.But after talking so much, she just didn't let her go and let her son stand up and take the responsibility.

If Wilson really stood up, he wouldn't dare to say that his career as a producer would be overturned, but he wouldn't be able to do anything in the short term.

"There are no dead people after all, are there?" said Albert's wife.

One last night of thinking, and early the next morning, Albert sent Wilson to take the earliest flight that morning, and returned to the United States in a hurry.

Albert himself held a press conference on the third day. He said with a sad face that he was getting older and not thinking carefully, and he was unable to take care of the overall situation. He would take responsibility and specially invited a friend's disciple, that is, A recent rising star in the filmmaking world, William.Theros, as the main producer of 007.

Of course, it is impossible for Albert to quit the production team, he just changed from the main position to the side assistance.In this way, his stepson's departure would not attract attention. After all, one carrot and one hole, Wilson just made room for his stepfather.

"But I don't want the position of the main producer."

William, who was inexplicably delighted, was not talking cheaply, he really didn't think about it. He didn't put much effort into the movie "007: Top Secret", but as a result, he forced the person in charge of the 007 series to abdicate for many years... It's definitely not nice to say it.

"Since he dares to give it to you, it means that he has properly arranged the way out, why don't you dare to follow?" Sabatino said.

"You're so timid, it's not like the you I know, Angel." Aunt Elizabeth kept a high degree of agreement with her son on this point, "There is absolutely no reason to push the meat out of your mouth."

I would rather starve to death than starve to death.This is the consistent tradition of the old Bernstein family.

"I'm not timid, but I just think it's inappropriate for me to pick the peaches easily without doing anything after others have worked hard for more than a year. You are also very clear about this, you are just trying to provoke!"

Elizabeth and Sabatino glanced at each other. Although they haven't reconciled yet, they are still willing to cooperate for William's benefit.They generously admitted that they were indeed agitating, and said bluntly to William that they would only know the real reason why William did not want to take office when they knew William, but what would those who did not know William think? I can guarantee it.

"What is certain is that they feel that you are suddenly frightened when things come to an end, and the probability of being irresponsible is definitely not low." Sabatino said alarmistly.

"And, if you think about it, when you become the main producer who really has the final say, you can get any insurance you want, and if they insist on equipment, they will insist on it several times. There will be no more accidents with the crew, Isn’t it good?” Elizabeth is responsible for the temptation, and William’s deep soul care for the instinct of life is extremely beneficial to persuade him to take over the job at this time.

william...

...impossible not to bite the hook.

This time, no MiG and Wendy can help William.Because right now, Meagher and Wendy are recording Lennon's new song in New York.Lennon and his wife helped William complete all the soundtrack tracks for "The Man From Earth", including the opening and ending songs of course.

I have to say that folk rock really matches the theme of Earthlings very well.The lyricism with a relaxed and positive attitude won William's liking.

William's earthlings naturally have his own personal style. For example, he doesn't feel that longevity is a painful thing. He and MiG have a tacit understanding on this point, and they focus more on men In terms of the rich experience of the protagonist, his life is a moving history, a living history.

Yes, the hero will inevitably lose the people he loves, but those people will live forever in his heart together with his memory.

……

After becoming the main producer of "007: Top Secret", William thought he would be busy to death, but he found that he became more idle.

It's not that Albert emptied William's rights, on the contrary, he was sincerely prepared to be the second producer, because he wanted to make Sabatino give up his stepson's responsibility through such a gesture.

It is true that Albert has shouldered the responsibility for his stepson, but that does not mean that the matter is really over.

At least Albert knew very well that Sabatino had all the video data of what really happened on the crew that day, and as long as Sabatino wanted to, he could ruin Wilson's reputation at any time.

Although Sabatino didn't seem to intend to make it public, or use it to threaten Albert, it was impossible for Albert not to care or not to pay attention.Even more nervous and vigilant because of this.Such unconditional conditions are always more likely to breed uneasiness in people's hearts. Albert is always anxiously waiting for the sword of Damocles to fall on his head.

Eventually, Albert called Wheeler, who was recuperating in the country.

At the press conference that day, Albert was not wrong. He and Wheeler were indeed "friends", but they were only "friends" who could only get contact information by turning a corner.

"I'm probably really old to agree to you." Wheeler said truthfully to Albert on the phone, "Actually, I don't know what to do to get Sabatino's itch. I can share with you some personal experiences that I have summed up with MGM Senior Samuel..."

Wheeler told Albert about the first time he got along with Brother William, without a word.

Albert is a smooth guy, even if Wheeler didn't ask him for anything, or told him exactly, he could still hear what he wanted from it.

——William is Sabatino's weakness, and this weakness is currently eager to learn about film production.

What else do you not understand?

After Wheeler hung up the phone with Albert, he called William immediately, and said cheerfully: "I don't have energy now, but as a teacher, I am still very responsible. I found you a teacher. There is no need for a nominal free teacher."

It can only be said that there is still a gap between the ages of 70 and 80.

The same aging and long-established producers are typical examples of old people becoming smart, but Mr. Wheeler is obviously better.

"Albert is indeed a bit too tactful sometimes, but tactfulness also has its benefits. Learn from him and learn from his strengths."

Albert and Wheeler seemed like one kind of people, the kind of people who were both extremely comprehensive and considerate, but in fact it was just their years of accumulated interpersonal experience.Their real behavior style is very different.

Simply put, Wheeler is more like a clenched fist full of power, while Albert is soft cloth.Each has advantages and disadvantages.William is still young, before he has his own unique production techniques, he should absorb the best of all schools of thought, and then find his own style based on different experiences.

After working with Albert for just a week, William also felt this subtle difference between Wheeler and Albert.

Wheeler made William understand more by doing things himself, what the producer is doing when making a movie, how busy he will be, and how to firmly grasp the control in his own hands; William...how to enjoy life.

Yes, enjoy life.

Today, William goes to the set at 09:30 every day and leaves at 03:30 every day, and has two days off on weekends. The 007 crew can still be dealt with in an orderly manner, and nothing happens again.Most of the time William was on the set, he also had time to take care of the post-production of the American Earthlings film by remote control.

How can this be done?The reason William understood before is nothing more than arranging the right people to the right position.

Sabatino had already spoken to William.

The person who really made William listen to him was Wheeler.

But now it is Albert who makes William get started with easy work.

"Don't think that the previous 007 crew was really chaotic to such an extent. Big productions are different from low-budget independent films. You will gradually realize it. Of course, my stepson also had some mismanagement before. I can't deny this, and I hope what happened to him will serve as a wake-up call to you.

"When you are around Wheeler, you must also feel that older people are used to commanding others. This is not to say that we learn to be lazy when we are old, but that we have enough experience and enough We don’t have to do it ourselves to have the final say.”

Whether the producer controls the crew or is controlled by the crew is an important criterion for judging the success of a producer.

William's previous quarrel with Wilson, in a sense, helped William establish his authority in the crew.If the accident hadn't happened too early, and Wilson had stayed in the crew for a few more days before the accident happened, William would have been able to feel more clearly how much difference there would be in his ability to execute following orders.

This is why Wilson has always been afraid of the paratrooper William. He wants William to listen to him, not him to listen to William.Wilson didn't have the skills of his stepfather, so he ended up leaving in disgrace.

"The media always satirizes that the Oscars are no less than a gubernatorial election. They have to win votes, promote themselves, and criticize their opponents. I have to say, their metaphor is very vivid. The Oscars are elections, and the studio is the government office building. Every move , It’s all knowledge.” Wheeler ruled his crew with a tyrant attitude, and Albert used slick methods to make the staff like him, the methods were not the same, but the same goal.

William's trip to the 007 crew this time did not start well, but the process went smoothly. It was the most relaxed and fulfilling crew that William has ever experienced.

It was late May when William and Sabatino returned to Los Angeles.

At the beginning of another summer, the heat wave hit our face from the moment we got off the plane. William, wearing the purple Ray-Ban glasses that he never left his body, watched helplessly as the girls' clothes became thinner and thinner. It is not a vertical comparison, but a horizontal comparison with the amount of clothes worn in the same period in previous years. 2B250 said that this is a step that a civilization will definitely take after it develops to a certain level.

Women are no longer regarded as the property of men, their bodies, they are in charge, and they can wear whatever they want, instead of being taken for granted as a symbol of debauchery because of cool clothes.

There is only a little left of the post-production of 007 and Earthlings.

007 was due to the suspension of filming before, so they simply started a special production method of filming while post-production. They wanted to catch up with the express train of the summer vacation, and they had to work hard; Earthman was the result of the joint efforts of Miguel and Wendy. At present, William is left to take 2B250 to check, what is wrong and what to change.

After returning to Beverly Hills, William began to plan how to work.

After being busy for a long time, William realized that something was wrong. He looked apologetically at his cousin Sabatino who had been by his side all the time: "I'm sorry, what I said was that you should accompany me to Italy on vacation. ,result……"

They ended up just changing their offices.

During the period, Sabatino also worked as a trapeze several times, traveling to and from European countries, holding international business meetings.Microsoft has now completely opened up the European market, and the general managers of branches in several different countries often appear in the ancestral home of the Lesenbra family.

Sabatino shook his head. "I'm having a good time."

Really, Sabatino is living in a bit of a happy place.If it weren't for the situation, he really wanted to live in Cortina d'Ampezzo and William, as if there were only the two of them in the whole world, and he enjoyed that world.

Cough, of course, to ignore the two-person world of his mother who is like a supervisor as much as possible.

Elizabeth still has no intention of forgiving Sabatino, but in the spaghetti restaurant that day, after talking with William and discovering that William does not dislike homosexuality, Elizabeth's attitude towards her son is actually a little bit more serious. A little loose.

By slowing down his plans to court William, Sabatino was able to be less forceful with his mother.

Taking advantage of William's absence, the mother and son sat down and had a good talk.Well, "okay" is the wrong word to use, but they really talked.

"If William agrees, I will naturally not prevent you from being together. I will not object to you chasing him, but you'd better control your hands and feet. Before you are together, you will live in the same room with your cousin Li, is it plausible? Don’t think that since he’s not a girl, you can play hooligans confidently!”

"We are both men, and we are taboo to touch to make us appear to have ghosts in our hearts." Sabatino argued sophistry, his cousin couldn't catch up, and now he can't even eat tofu, and his heart is so stuffy.

"Now you remember that you are all men?" Elizabeth continued to remain expressionless. She really wanted to sneer, but she gave up because of wrinkles.

Elizabeth wouldn't tell William or old Bernstein about it, but she'd guard her son like a thief.Whenever Sabatino dared to get any closer to William, she would start to stare at him.This often made Sabatino want to ask his mother, who is your son? !

The sourness of turning a mother-in-law into a mother-in-law is not something ordinary people can experience.

After William and Sabatino returned to Los Angeles, Elizabeth did not let Sabatino go.She obviously gave William two bodyguards, but her secret meaning couldn't be more straightforward. Her people would act as her eyes for her and continue to stare at her son to prevent him from taking advantage of William.

Under Elizabeth's strict defense, Sabatino has never been able to find a chance to get close to William again.

William was naturally noticing that his cousin had become less close than before, but he only thought it was because he failed to keep the vacation agreement with Sabatino, which made his cousin unhappy.He felt that his cousin had every reason to be angry. He was a workaholic himself, so what position did he have to tell his cousin not to be such a workaholic?

"I swear, I will definitely spare time to accompany you after finishing 007 and the later stages of the Earthlings."

"I'm not angry, you don't have to think so." Sabatino wanted to kiss William's forehead to comfort him, but under the burning gaze of the two female bodyguards from Italy, he gave up.

I don't know what Elizabeth thinks, she also sent two beautiful female bodyguards to her nephew.

This made the red-haired Shirley who came to pick her up eat a lot of dry vinegar.It's not that she suddenly found out that she fell in love with William, but that she was jealous in her position, both bodyguards and beautiful women, plus the extra points of the other party's exotic style, it was hard for Shirley not to feel competitive.

"But when you're at Cortina d'Ampezzo, there's very little to play." While William was on set, Sabatino either worked at home or on set.

"That's how I relax," Sabatino said. "Some people's entertainment is listening to music, and some people's entertainment is watching movies. In my opinion, work is my entertainment, and it is my interest. I will be careful not to Overdosing, so stop worrying, okay?" Sabatino felt a surge of energy at the thought that every extra effort he had made would keep William safe.

"Really?"

"Really, it's like you can have fun while you're making a film."

"I've loved watching movies since I was a kid."

"I also like software programming since I was a child, the market index and so on."

William nodded, reluctantly accepting this statement, but in his heart, he always had a vague feeling that these words were a bit familiar, as if someone in his life had said similar words.
