MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 5 Dunn Walker's majesty
"Very good, this one is over!"
This scene of Ruth arguing with her fiancé was only repeated three times, and Dunn waved his hand, "Take a 15-minute break and prepare for the next shot!"
"stop!"
However, as soon as Dunn's voice fell, Cameron's furious voice came immediately, "Dawn, what are you doing? Will you direct the movie? That shot just now didn't meet the requirements, reshoot it!"
The studio was once again caught in a cold embarrassment.
Dunn is very angry. This is not the first time Cameron has intervened in his directing of a film. He has repeatedly intervened. Are you the director or am I the director?
Judging from Dunn's current vision, of course he knew that in the scene just now, Kate Winslet's expression was a little stiff, and her lines were a little nervous. With her strength, she could do better.
But is it necessary?
This is not a European literary film. In the final analysis, "Titanic" is still a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. The real selling point is the majestic ship and the shocking love.
This kind of short shot of only a few seconds after the film is completed, no one cares at all!
What's more, now that the crew's funds are tight, Tang En promised the top management of Fox Pictures to catch up with next summer's schedule, and really can't waste time and money on such trivial matters.
What Dunn possessed was Cameron's professional ability, not his paranoid and stubborn spiritual attributes. He immediately said rudely: "Enough! James, this is not your job!"
Cameron was reluctant, staring at him and roaring: "You know Kate's performance is not good enough, why didn't you stop it? You will ruin the whole movie!"
Kate Winslet was also a little guilty, and whispered nervously, "Mr. Director, how about... let me try again?"
Tang En said angrily, "Are you provoking me?"
Kate Winslet was only twenty-one years old, her face was pale with fright, and her body couldn't help trembling.
"I repeat, this one is over, now go to rest!" Dunn pointed to the lounge and said coldly at Cameron, "Mr. Cameron, "Titanic" is not only your hard work, but also everyone Hope! I don't need you to tell me what to do, please get out of the way now!"
Actors, including Kate Winslet and Billy Zane, were clueless about the quarrel of such a big man, neither walking nor stopping, in a dilemma.
Jon Landau came over at the right time, frowned and said, "Little Dunn, you are still young, and you may not know much about directing dramas. Listen to the advice of your predecessors, be modest, and ask for more advice, it will be good for you!"
Well, it's obviously relying on the old to sell the old, and morality has been kidnapped.
But Dunn doesn't eat this set at all!
"What kind of thing are you? You are the one who dares to point fingers in front of me, and you deserve it? Get out of here!"
Dunn said several swear words in a row, frightening everyone present, and everyone changed color.
Is this too strong?
Better than Cameron!
Cameron at most shouted to the actors a few times, but Jon Landau was one of the main producers!
This young director doesn't seem to be as modest as he looks on the surface, and his fiery temper is no worse than James Cameron!
Jon Landau was dumbfounded. He couldn't even speak. He took a few steps back in a panic and pointed at Dunn, "You...you...what did you say?"
"I said let you go!"
Dunn was furious. He was really fed up with Cameron's meddling and Jon Landau's scheming.
At this time, the representative of Fox Films, Grant Hill, walked over with a frown. Cameron was the first producer of the film, and it was not easy to lose face, but Jon Landau was different. Shen Sheng Said: "Jon, what are you doing? Dunn is the director approved by the board of directors. Are you questioning the decision of the board of directors?"
Jon Landau's face was gloomy, he took a deep breath, lowered his posture, and said calmly: "No, I'm just making some small suggestions to Director Walker. If there is any offense, I hope Director Walker will forgive me."
This guy is also quick enough to make a decision immediately, abandon the car to protect the handsome, protect the face of Cameron, the first producer, and fight the contradictions on himself. It will make him thank himself, and in the third time, it will give everyone a good impression of maintaining the overall situation.
Grant Hill nodded. Although he is only the third producer, he is the official spokesperson of Fox Pictures. After Cameron lost Bill McNick's favor, his power in the crew soared.
"Okay, didn't Director Walker say it? This one is over, you all go to rest!"
Grant couldn't face Cameron's face, and pointed the finger at the actors who were stupidly standing there.
Everyone was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.
The fierce quarrel that broke out suddenly subsided, but as everyone knows, Director Walker won again.
Kate Winslet looked back at Dunn with a complicated look, with bitterness in her heart. Even a big director like Cameron has to give in in the face of Dunn Walker's anger. How can she be an actress against the authority of the director?
She doesn't regret it!
…
Back in the lounge, Dunn waved his hand angrily, "Cameron is too much!"
Grant Hill smiled wryly, "Jaime is a bit rough, but he's a good guy, he just hopes the movie can be made better."
"Humph!"
Dunn, of course, knew that Cameron was not targeting him, it was just a disagreement over the filming, otherwise he would have spoken ill of each other long ago.
Just Jon Landau...
"Grant, fire Jon Landau, he will seriously affect our shooting progress!"
"what?"
Grant Hill was stunned for a long time. This Dunn Walker is too narrow-minded, didn't he just quarrel once? And Jon apologized.
"It's not easy. He is the second producer. We have no reason to fire an important person for no reason. He put a lot of effort into the pre-production of the film."
Grant shook his head, obviously disapproving of Dunn's idea.
"The reason..." Tang En narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while. He went out and called his current assistant, George, "How's the matter for you to investigate?"
George patted his chest and said, "I checked it out. They were jealous. Three studio assistants worked together to design the frame."
Dunn was a little dissatisfied, "That's all?"
"what…"
George was stunned for a moment, a little overwhelmed. This is the truth.
Tang En said in a deep voice, "I suspect that this is behind Jon Landau's orders, go check it out again!"
"what?"
George understands what Dunn means. Is this a design to frame Jon Landau?
Grant Hill was also taken aback, this Dunn really doesn't give up until he achieves his goal! He quickly stopped, looked at Dunn, sighed, and smiled bitterly: "I really convinced you! Forget it, anyway, the filming in Los Angeles is almost over, the crew is going to Mexico to shoot the big ship, I will let Jon go to New York for the set. ."
Dunn finally smiled, "This is the best."
…
After seeing Dunn's domineering, Kyle Winslet is eagerly communicating with her agent on the phone.
"What the **** should I do now? He's like a devil when he gets angry!" Kate's voice was trembling.
"Calm down, Kate, calm down!" The agent reassured a few times, "Since he is the director, he will be responsible for the entire play. You are the heroine, and he will not embarrass you too much."
"But..." Kate paused for a while, and panicked in her heart. "But in the scene just now, I obviously felt that the performance was not good enough, but he let him pass. Is he deliberately vilifying me?"
"Anything else?"
The agent on the other end of the phone showed a bit of surprise, "This is an investment of nearly 200 million yuan. How dare he make jokes about this kind of thing?"
Kate smiled bitterly: "Robert, you don't know, he just had a big fight with Cameron, and he also scolded Jon Landau. The scolding... it's hard to hear!"
"This..." The agent was silent for a while, and then said solemnly, "Kate, in any case, you must immediately find a way to ease the relationship with him. This will most likely affect your future acting career."
"I just don't know how to ease up with him, that's why I asked you..."
"You are a girl, a very beautiful girl!"
The agent increased his tone.
Kate fell silent for a moment.
Of course she understands the meaning of the agent's words, which is all too common in Hollywood.
"But... I'm already engaged."
"That British director? Forget it! This is Hollywood, and Hollywood has Hollywood rules! Kate, you have to understand that this play is very important to you, far more important than that British director!"
Agents pay more attention to profit than justice. In fact, this is a Hollywood habit.
It's just that Kate is British.
British people are more conservative than Americans, on marriage, on emotions, on friends, on culture...
"But…"
"Kate, if you want to develop further in Hollywood, you must integrate into Hollywood. Not to mention you, even Princess Kelly and Marilyn Monroe, didn't they all come here?"
Kate Winslet sighed and nodded blankly, "Okay, I'll think about it."
The agent said in a deep voice, "Kate, you are going to Mexico City soon. There is the key to the whole play. You must hurry up and solve this problem!"
Kate calmed down, "I see."
