MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 40 network
Due to a sudden change, Tang En let the entire crew rest temporarily.
Now the crew is in a panic, even if the filming is forced to start, and the actors are not in good condition, it will be difficult to give a performance that can satisfy Tang En.
Tang En has already figured it out, it's a blessing or a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!
He has only formed this team for more than two months, and the cohesion of the team has not been formed. Now it is all supported by the salary issued by Tang En and his reputation.
If Tang En can come up with a satisfactory solution to this emergency, it will definitely increase his prestige in this team, so that he can firmly control the royal team, instead of relying solely on the temptation of money.
For the way to deal with this matter, Tang En's choice is very simple, the two paths go side by side!
He first made a phone call to CAA's big boss Brian Lord. After all, the crew of "My Big Greek Wedding" enjoyed CAA's semi-packaged service, and Brian was obliged to do some work for the safety of the crew.
Brian has strong connections and connections, not just in Hollywood, but even straight to the White House. With him appearing, doing official mediation and exerting pressure, the results will surely be reported soon.
For the second call, Dunn's choice was Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Coppola, the head of the Coppola family, of Italian ethnicity.
The popularity of the "Godfather" trilogy made the Hollywood director directly become a big boss of the Italian ethnicity!
In the confrontation with the police officer, Dunn didn't gain any advantage, but he learned from the fat detective's words that the group of bad boys who came to throw the gasoline cans were Italians.
This made Dunnmouth open, and he quickly thought of the key point, this is Chicago!
Even in the glamorous 1990s, the remnants... still exist!
With the influence of Francis Coppola in the Italian ethnicity, this trivial matter can be solved in one sentence.
Tang En noticed the worried eyes of everyone in the crew, and he was firm in his heart, waiting for the result.
After 40 minutes, the entire crew suddenly panicked, and there were even a few girls screaming and crying.
Nicole Kidman's face was pale, Sofia Coppola was trembling with fright, and she didn't dare to breathe.
Those bad boys who set fire are back!
They rode on motorcycles painted with ghost paintings, making a "humming" sound, just like when they threw gasoline cans before, whizzing and roaring, and the scene was huge.
"Quiet! Don't be afraid!"
Dunn shouted loudly, stood up, made a downward gesture, and then strode over.
"Don!"
Everyone was startled, and hurriedly called his name.
Tang En turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, trust me, the matter has been resolved!"
"Solved?" A hint of suspicion flashed in everyone's eyes, obviously not believing what Dunn said. How do you deal with the gangsters who even the police have to shy away from?
Tang En was very confident and strode forward. Sure enough, when I took a closer look, I saw a dozen or so bad boys, all with bruised noses and swollen faces. The most exaggerated one had dense silk threads in the corners of his eyes, apparently with more than a dozen stitches.
Seeing Tang En approaching with an expressionless face, the dozen or so bad boys quickly got off the motorcycle, stood up properly, bowed to Tang En and apologized, "I'm sorry!"
The voice is loud, but it contains a lot of unwillingness!
Tang En looked at their childish faces but hidden anger, and couldn't help sighing.
Tattoos, nose rings, earrings, dyed hair, leather clothes... Maybe this is the standard dress for bad boys at the bottom of society?
Seeing that they are about the same age as you, but they have embarked on a completely different path, is it the responsibility of society? If you don't work hard, God can't save you!
Tang En understood that they were forced to admit their mistakes, and also understood that their hearts were more of resentment and anger, and also understood that no matter how much he persuaded, it was impossible to influence these unscrupulous young people, and he waved his hands weakly, "Since you have admitted your mistakes, this It's a matter of course, it's not an example."
The eyes of the bad boys lit up, they thought they were going to perform a bitter game and suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, just like in the past.
But I didn't expect the silly boy in front of me to be so good at talking, and all of them grinned happily, "Well, since it's all right, let's go first, goodbye!"
The bad boys laughed, got on their motorcycles, hummed, came and whizzed away.
Tang En shook his head, feeling quite helpless, when he heard a boiling cheer from the crew behind him, the second female Katherine Heigl rushed over excitedly, hugged Tang En's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dan, you are amazing, everything is great!"
Tang En understood the deep meaning of the other party's words, and said in a low voice, "I'll go to your place in two days and teach you a lesson, you little goblin!"
Katherine Heigl snickered, ignoring the strange eyes of the crew, winked like silk, and kissed Dunn with a "boo", "Oh, don't forget what you said. If you don't come, I'll ignore you again."
As a young star who has just shown her prominence, she is not afraid. I wish everyone could spread the word about her relationship with Tang En.
These days, the topic is fame!
There are a lot of young actresses in the crew. Everyone sees it in their eyes and is angry in their hearts. Each and every one of them can't wait to eat Katherine Heigl raw.
Envy, jealousy and hatred, and most of them are bitter, there is no way, who makes people have a beautiful face and a good figure? It is not surprising that it can win the favor of the director.
At this time, another team of police cars came.
Unlike just now, there was only one police car, this time four were dispatched. But it wasn't a police car with the word "police" in the lead, but an old-fashioned Ford sedan.
After parking, a middle-aged man in a suit stepped out of the Ford sedan. He appeared to be in his 40s, a little bald, and walked with a dignified and aura.
The four police cars behind them stopped in a hurry, and a dozen policemen jumped down and rushed over eagerly.
Among them are Dunn's old acquaintances, the fat detective and the thin detective.
"Hello, is this Mr. Walker?"
"I'm Dunn, who are you?"
"You can call me Fred, I'm from the FBI."
Dunn glanced at the ID photo shown by Fred, his eyes almost dazzled, and his face was a little stiff.
I didn't expect Brian Lord to make such a big fuss and stab the FBI directly! No wonder almost all of the local police station were dispatched. This is a big hole.
"Mr. Walker, we have received a lot of reports that there is a very dangerous criminal gang nearby, but unfortunately we did not get enough evidence." Fred glanced at the police behind him, " I hope you can tell me the whole story of this matter, so that I can provide you with the most just legal protection, okay?"
Dunn felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't expect to be involved in the dispute between the local police station and the FBI.
This kind of thing is not something he can participate in at this level. What's more, he called Francis Coppola with his front foot and wiped out his fellow Italians with his back foot. Will he still hang out in the future?
Dunn glanced at the nervous group of police officers behind and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Fred, this matter is over for me."
"It's over?" Fred glanced at the black grass after burning, "This is a lot of damage to the crew."
Tang En said with a smile: "There is a loss, but you can make a claim to the insurance company. And they have come to apologize just now, just a group of teenage children who made a mistake, just correct it, there is no need to make a big deal. , everyone on the crew saw it, and they can testify."
Fred glanced at the crew and couldn't help sneering, "Director Walker really has a good heart!"
Tang En immediately became serious, "Art practitioners like us are just to convey the correct values and guide the correct cultural trend to the United States and even the whole world. It is a prerequisite and a must for everyone to have a good heart!"
Fred's face was a little distorted. Seeing his firmness, he knew that the operation had failed again. He gave him a deep look, "Then I wish the film directed by Walker a great sale, goodbye!"
After Fred left, an old policeman with white hair and a white beard came over with a ruddy face, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com held Dunn's hand excitedly, "Mr. Walker, thank you, thank you! "
Tang En frowned slightly, his mood was not high, "I only hope that my film will not be harassed in the next filming process!"
"Of course, I can guarantee this!" The old policeman was obviously the leader of these people, and he immediately arranged for work, day shift, night shift, and 24-hour duty.
Where can such a top-level treatment be enjoyed by an independent film with an investment of only over 10 million?
Even if it is a commercial blockbuster with an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan, it is difficult to obtain the 24-hour full protection of the local security forces!
Dunn Walker's two phone calls instantly changed the status and influence of "My Big Greek Wedding" in the Chicago area.
It is even conceivable that with this network and relationship, if Tang En has the opportunity to film here again in the future, the treatment he will receive will not be too bad.
Tang En couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Through this incident, he also understood a lot and learned a lot.
Hollywood... It is not enough to have capital and ability.
There is also a very important relationship—personal connections!
From this arson incident, we can see the great influence of Francis Coppola and Brian Lord. This is not only related to your status in Hollywood, but can even affect the local political situation in many cases.
Dunn suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't get into trouble with CAA, and his relationship with Brian Lord became more and more harmonious. Although there is a lot of rift with the Jewish boss Steven Spielberg, it is not to the point of tearing his face. If there is a chance in the future, it can be eased if it can be eased.
Unite all forces that can be united to fight against the powerful enemies that may be faced in the future.
Dunn took a deep breath and felt more and more that the road to Hollywood was not easy.
