The Best Entertainment Era

Hearing Ronan's promise, David Finch said directly: I've accepted this project. Mr. Anderson, let someone talk to my agent about the contract.

He has heard of Ronan's reputation, and he has a very good reputation in Hollywood, which can be said to be well-known. Now that he has made a promise, the possibility of regretting it in the future is very low.

Besides, these will inevitably be reflected in the contract.

Ronan was happy, David Fincher was unambiguous, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The next specific matters will be discussed between Shahai Entertainment and David Fincher's agent.

David Fincher's director's salary is not low, and Hollywood has clear standards. Generally, director contracts are easier to negotiate than actors, and most directors don't have as many strange requirements as star actors.

A hard-to-serve star like Jennifer Lopez, not to mention herself and the messy service staff from assistants to stylists to friends, even her pet cat requires the crew to hire two nannies. Fourteen hours of dedicated care.

Compared with many Hollywood stars, the stars on the other side of the Pacific are still in the low-level stage of playing big names.

The crew of Pirates of the Caribbean, which was shot in Rosario, Baja California, encountered the dilemma of stars playing big names.

At the artificial lake studio, the production crew had just finished their preparations, as if someone had suddenly pulled the switch, and could only stop temporarily. The actors in front of the scene and the staff of various types of work behind the scenes had helplessness on their faces, and there was a trace of helplessness in their helplessness. anger.

Keira Knightley pinched her waist with both hands, stood on the wooden deck, turned around several times, and said to Christian Bale on the opposite side: Only Johnny Depp is special? How many times has this happened? ? Ha... everyone waits for him.

Christian Bale spread his hands helplessly, the dissatisfaction on his face was beyond words.

A thin and skinny actor stood on the mast in the scorching sun. Seeing that it was impossible to shoot, he quickly got down from the mast.

Another pirate dressed as a one-eyed dragon came close to his ear, mumbling what he was talking about.

The person in charge of the photography team and also the crew's director of photography, Daritz Worski, saw that it was impossible to shoot, so he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted a few words to call back the shooting boat in the artificial lake.

The latest digital cameras have extremely high requirements for the environment, and it is impossible to expose them to the sun for a long time.

The heads of other various behind-the-scenes departments all looked at the director Gore Verbinski. The director Gore Verbinski took the megaphone handed over by his assistant Charles Gibson and shouted: Actors go back to the rest area. Make up, other departments maintain the status quo except the film crew!

He put down the loudspeaker and roared, Who can tell me where the damn male lead went!

After the shooting in the morning, the makeup was not removed. After the noon break, Johnny Depp, who had touched up makeup in the dressing room, suddenly disappeared after coming out.

Assistant director Charles Gibson didn't know how to answer.

Gore Verbinski growled: He was still filming in the morning, why did he disappear after lunch?

Not far away, assistant producer Craig Wood couldn't get through Johnny Depp's cell phone, so he quickly called producer Jessica Felton.

Jessica Felton, who was coordinating the second investment with the Pacific Investment Foundation coordinating crew, rushed to the set immediately and quickly learned the specific situation from Craig Wood.

Jessica Felton has been in office for more than a month, and she has also adapted to the role of producer in charge of the crew. She knows that now is not the time to hesitate. As a producer, she must act decisively and deal with this unexpected situation quickly.

Strictly speaking, it is not an emergency. Before she took office, similar situations had happened several times with the actor Johnson Depp.

Jessica Felton called Johnny Depp's cell phone again, but no one answered, and then called Johnny Depp's agent's cell phone, and there was a busy sound.

Clay, you immediately contact Johnny Depp's assistant or other people around you to determine the location of Johnny Depp. Jessica Felton knows that this is Mexico, although it is unlikely that anyone would dare to provoke Hollywood casually. The crew, but this situation cannot be ruled out: If Johnny Depp's assistant can't reach him, report to me immediately.

Okay. Craig Wood didn't dare to hesitate.

Jessica Felton said to another assistant: Immediately mobilize the security of the crew to search on the set, and don't let go of every corner. You go to the hotel in person to see if Johnny Depp has returned to the hotel. To Hurry up, report to me any time you have any news.

The assistant didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called the person in charge of security to leave together.

Jessica Felton put her loose long hair into a ponytail, and walked quickly to the side of Gore Verbinski who was on the phone. Gore Verbinski immediately hung up the phone and told Jessica- Felton nodded.

How is it? Jessica Felton pointed to Gore Verbinski's cell phone: Have you contacted Johnny Depp?

Gore Verbinski said directly: I just called Johnny Depp's agent, and the agent doesn't know where he went. His anger couldn't be suppressed: Shit ! He put the entire crew here! Is there any basic professional ethics!

The director, who was not bad-tempered, slapped the temporary office table in front of him vigorously one after another.

Jessica Felton comforted: Gore, calm down, I have sent someone to look for it.

Although Jessica Felton is a producer who came over suddenly, Gore Verbinski is very familiar with her, and the two parties have cooperated in the post-production of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

George - Clint left the crew, as a director, he also thinks no one is more suitable than Jessica - Felton.

The only concern, Jessica Felton is a woman, it's not easy to be a female producer.

But after more than a month, Gore Verbinski has gradually dispelled his worries. He has seen Jessica Felton's professional ability a long time ago. There is no doubt about it. I have been tempered in my life, and I have a very high emotional intelligence in life. I rarely intervene in specific shooting affairs rashly, probably because of my background as an editor. I know how to leave professional work to professional people.

Occasionally, the conflicts that broke out in the crew were handled properly, allowing the crew to continue running on a normal track.

Maintaining the normal operation of such a huge crew is enough to prove the ability of the producers. Some producers have big hearts and little ability, but they will mess up the crew.

Jessica Felton has a big heart and a big heart.

The phone rang, and Gore Verbinski quickly connected it. After listening to a few words, he hung up the phone and said to Jessica Felton, Johnny Depp's agent couldn't reach him either.

The delicate mixed-race skin on Jessica Felton's face was a bit dark. This was the first time I had encountered such a bad thing. The actor suddenly disappeared from the crew. This is not a trivial matter.

If something goes wrong, the crew's troubles will not be big, but huge!

what to do? Jessica Felton subconsciously wanted to call Ronan, but held back the phone while clutching the phone.

She is now the producer and leader of the crew, not Ronan Anderson, and Ronan is far away in Los Angeles, so she can only handle it now.

Craig Wood ran over and said, Johnny Depp's assistant got through, and he's also looking for Johnny Depp.

Gore Verbinski had a bad premonition, and whispered, Jesse, isn't something going wrong?

Jessica Felton forced herself to calm down: I've mobilized people to look for it. She suddenly remembered something and asked, Gore, isn't it the first time that Johnny Depp didn't show up on set on time? right?

Yeah. Gore Verbinski said truthfully: There have been two times before, but both of them were seriously late in the morning.

Jessica Felton's beautiful eyebrows frowned: Late? Why?

Gore Verbinski said quickly: Johnny Depp is an alcoholic. Both tardies were caused by being drunk the night before.

Jessica Felton squeezed her chin: Alcohol addiction?

The phone rang again, Jessica Felton picked it up, and another assistant's voice came from inside: Boss, I'm at the hotel, Johnny Depp hasn't come back, I've asked the hotel staff carefully, They determined that Johnny Depp did not come back after he left the hotel this morning.

Jessica Felton snaps on her flip phone and says to Gore Verbinski, Not at the hotel.

Gore Verbinski had a liver pain. In his not-so-long director career, it was the first time he met such a wonderful actor. It was really an eye-opener.

Jessica Felton didn't stop, thinking of what Gore Verbinski said about Johnson Depp's alcohol addiction, and said to Craig Wood: Call all the assistant producers and assistant directors immediately , go to the set and all the places around where you can drink. Also, remind everyone that they signed a non-disclosure agreement when they entered the crew.

Craig Wood quickly summoned his staff and went in a hurry.

For the time being, only Gore Verbinski and Jessica Felton are left here. Gore Verbinski asked, Do you want to call the police?

Jessica Felton shook her head: Not yet, the Mexican police... She glanced at her watch: After half an hour, if there is no news of Johnny Depp, we will call the police.

Worried about temporarily overshadowing the anger of Johnny Depp's sudden disappearance, Jessica Felton walked back and forth anxiously, answering and calling from time to time, and most of the crew had already been dispatched.

Ten minutes later, a call came and finally got good news.

Relieved, Jessica Felton hung up the phone and said: Johnny Depp found, very drunk in a bar, sleeping with a cat in his arms.

Gore Verbinski's fire was immediately lit, and a string of swear words couldn't help coming out of his mouth.

Jessica Felton didn't persuade, because she was also very angry, but the anger couldn't solve the problem. After calling to retrieve the manpower, she called Johnny Depp's agent: I'm Jessica Fei Don, you have to come to Rosario tomorrow, we need to have a good talk.
