612 - Don't be fooled by the harmonious appearance of the crew.

James Franco was always watching the extinguished cigar in his hands from the director's office to the studio.

The reason is very simple. Wayne reminded him very special. The cigar in his hand is a valuable product that ordinary people and even the low-level actors in Hollywood can never afford. If you want to enjoy this top-notch product in the future, then put aside all the flaws in your personality and complete the next shooting work.

The male lead of "The Flash" is an unattainable opportunity for 90% of the actors in the circle. This is also the best way for James Frank to become famous.

As we all know, even if a nameless young actor proves himself in business, countless film companies will come to him with projects. As long as he succeeds, fame and fortune will naturally occur.

Only by becoming a big star and making a lot of money can you always enjoy the top things. Wayne’s meaning is very simple. It is not just about the top cigar in his hand, filming well, becoming a big star, a top beauties, a top luxury car, a luxury house, and these enjoyments he now look up to will naturally have.

"Please put it away for me, be careful and give it back to me after work."

The moment she saw the agent, James Franco looked at him with a caring expression, handed the big cigar in his hand to the agent, and whispered several remarks.

Then in the agent's confusing gaze, he silently looked at Wayne who had already sat behind the director's monitor, clenched his fists secretly, and dripped softly in his mouth with a sound that only he could hear. "Mr. Greenberg, thank you very much for teaching me this life lesson..."

"It seems that your reminder method is much more effective than my conversation."

While Robert was still debugging the machine, Charles Rowan leaned against the monitor table, tilted his head and shrugged and said, "Life Tutor Mr. Greenberg, ha?"

"You're wrong, Charles."

Before Wayne could say something, the prop team leader Wicks Hart leaned up with an inappropriate smile on his face. He curled his lips and joked: "The leader has never been someone's life mentor. When you continue to work with him a few times, you will understand the boss's way of doing things."

"Yeah, yeah, Vic said it right."

After the crew officially started filming, Schwartz Bob transformed into the deputy director responsible for coordinating the scene. At this time, he also smiled and hugged Wicks Hart's shoulder and nodded constantly. "Charles, it takes time to see some things clearly."

Today is the first day the crew officially started filming, and everyone is in a good mood. Seeing that several core creators wanted to tease themselves, Wayne just shook his head slightly and did not say anything to stop him. A good working atmosphere will always be the scene that the director dreams of.

"Wow, let me explain it to our producers."

Steve, the lighting director who has been staying in the crew since the first drama, walked over with a shaking head, with an inappropriate smile on his lips, looking at producer Charles Rowan. He deliberately changed into a hoarse voice and said with a serious face:

"Charles, judging from the way he acts, he will never be a life mentor. I can guarantee that this is the last chance he left for the future big star. Let me tell you the philosophy of life, that is, when he and Yin Qing do not dismantle your tricks, he will eliminate you quietly!

In the eyes of the boss, he always only makes choices and not educates! so, I can guarantee that this is the last chance of the future big star. If he makes another mistake, he will definitely be eliminated silently! Wake up, Charles, you actually told a tyrant that he is a life mentor..."

"Okay, it seems that your preparations are all very good."

Seeing the few people laughing and talking more and more outrageously, Wayne closed the storyboard with a snap, lit a cigarette, and looked at the people with his head. "Very good. After the filming is officially started, whoever makes a mistake in the department will invite all the team to have coffee and pay their own pockets to treat them!"

"Hey, hey, boss, you can't do this!"

"Shit, go away from Charles, don't block the way, you block me from doing lighting debugging!"

"Hiss~, boss, do you want to be so ruthless? My salary is not that much..."

The few people instantly had the same action. They looked up at the ceiling of the studio, turned around and quickly left the director position, leaving behind a surprised Charles Rowan. Finally, even he shrugged in the face of Wayne's gaze, turned around and went to find the third-party insurance company's re-in charge on the crew to discuss the issue of coordinating the shooting funds.

The director position, who was surrounded by the heads of various departments, was immediately left with Wayne and the director monitor. Sofia Coppola, who had been silently standing not far behind Wayne, nodded thoughtfully when he saw all this.

"This harmonious crew atmosphere is something I have never seen in the circle when I grew up so old."

Turning his head and looking at the assistant lady sitting next to him, Sofia Coppola said emotionally: "I think all Hollywood crews are always full of intrigues, fighting and conspiracy, Nina, this may be one of the reasons why Wayne has been successful."

Since she was infancy, she has participated in the filming of the great movie "The Godfather", which made the director's assistant very familiar with the operation of the Hollywood crew. These praises are not only the sensibility of a woman, but also really surprised her from the bottom of her heart.

"you are right."

There is a rare woman in the crew who makes her feel good about her. Nina closed the magazine on her legs and pushed her glasses and said, "The reason why they are harmonious is because they need to show Wayne the initiative before work begins, which is a way to show her importance to work."

"Ahh?" Sofia Coppola looked at Nina in disbelief.

"There are many troubles in other crews in the circle, and the boss's crew is actually quite a bit." The assistant lady nodded, looked at Wayne's back, and explained in a low voice: "It's just because these people have already understood the boss's working habits, and whenever the preparations start, they will put aside all the conflicts between each other.

The prop team leader, Wicks Hart, everyone called him Vick. In fact, there has always been a deep conflict between him and the set director Mia Kleig, and the two teams will also have friction from time to time. There are also lighting master Steve and the person in charge of the on-site radio, which often doesn't deal with each other. There are many similar things."

Nina's explanation made Sofia Coppola frown slightly, obviously overturning the perception she had just gained. But this is the case, and this situation is in line with the composition of the Hollywood crew.

Everyone has their own pursuits and desires. The more talented they are, the higher their abilities, the more so they are. Obviously, if they want to suppress the top players in this large group of people, they want to make these people feel unwilling, and they must clearly show their determination to cooperate tacitly, which is the ability of the crew leader.

"Sofia, don't be deceived by those people's appearance."

Looking at the woman thinking beside her, Nina sighed and reminded again: "What you want to see is never the superficial manifestations of the heads of various departments, but to learn how ******* is to coordinate everyone and work hard for the project together."

Although the assistant lady is always like a transparent person in the crew, she can see the relationship between the core creative teams more clearly than Wayne.

Still she remembers what Wayne said when chatting with her a few years ago that the director of the crew is actually equivalent to a big contractor. The most important thing in front of the director is how to coordinate the work of each of his small contractors before they can talk about creation.

"James."

The sound of Wayne calling the male lead sounded on the set, which also attracted Sophia Coppola. She immediately took a few steps forward, pricked her ears, and listened in the messy set environment.

"James, how are you prepared?"

"No problem." James Franco looked down at the director behind the monitor and said confidently: "I have practiced it countless times, Mr. Greenberg, don't worry."

"Pay attention to your body language, movements, expressions, gestures and voices."

Wayne gently pressed a light meter in his hand and reminded him again: "As a field investigator, you are knowledgeable and have a keen observation ability. Through performance, you show me your confidence, ok?"

“Ok.”

After patting the male protagonist's shoulder, Wayne nodded with satisfaction, walked towards the set with the photometer, and began to check from beginning to end again.

"Steve, the lights are still too soft."

Not long after, he called out to the direction of the lighting group. After Steve trotted over, he threw the light meter into the other party's hand and continued, "If you are harder, I'll wait for you."

"No problem, boss, I'll do it as soon as possible."

As the departments were ready, Gilmore was also in charge of the extras at the scene, coordinating the extras for the last time. In fact, the scene in the first scene was very simple. As a live investigator, Barry Allen inspected the scene under the watch of everyone and colleagues, and gave his own analysis.

"Camera crew?"

"Prepare, boss."

"light?"

“Ok.”

“…”

When everyone said there was no problem, Wayne nodded to the scene recorder, put down the loudspeaker, sat behind the director's monitor, staring at the upcoming shooting without blinking.

"The Flash, the first scene, the first act, begins!"

With a "bang." The shooting officially began as the field recorder board was shot in front of the main camera.

The first shot of James Franco was lying on the ground to observe the traces of the scene. His expression was transmitted to the director's monitor through the main camera.

His expression was serious and confident. After a little observation, a smile appeared on his face. Then he got up from the ground with the camera, knelt on one knee, and observed the traces on the ground. At this time, other cameras were capturing the performance of others around him.

"Escape vehicle." James Franco lowered his head and observed the traces on the scene, and quickly said: "It is a Chevrolet Trail Blazer. This Chevrolet has just been launched for two years. Because of the large body weight, the traces of the rear tires are so wide and clear..."

As he quickly spoke the lines, the camera next to him was also shooting the shots quickly recorded by the staff next to him. Multi-camera and multi-angle shooting are always the best way to improve efficiency.

There are also other cameras that have been capturing the reactions of the onlookers. In this regard, Wayne's standards are much lower, because the cameras hardly focus on these extra expressions.

“cut!”

When this simple shot ended, Wayne shouted to the megaphone in time: "Perform well, James, but not enough, you can still perform better!"

"Each department resets, do it again."
