There has always been a consensus in the Hollywood circle that movies have never been a stage for personal heroism. This may be difficult for the audience to understand, because they see glorious big stars and hear talented big directors, but for related practitioners, it is almost a very natural cognition.

The reason why Wayne's movies have been constantly successful and even allowed him to have the wealth and fame they are today is the focus of the audience's neglect.

Every Hollywood crew invested heavily will be composed of hundreds of relevant technical personnel, and their existence is the cornerstone of the success of a movie. The technical experts among Wayne's stable core members have always been regarded as typical of successful teams in the circle, and are also the coveted combination of every Hollywood crew.

The same is true for the crew of "X-Men". After the shooting work has been completed over the past period of time, this crew, which is not short of experts in various types of jobs, has also entered a relatively smooth shooting state.

As a key project of 20th Century Fox, it means that there will never be a lack of funds for inviting outstanding behind-the-scenes personnel. Indeed, this is a perfect commercial society. As long as you pay enough salary, at least in the hardware of behind-the-scenes personnel configuration, "X-Men" is not short of any.

"The crew's shooting work is getting smoother and smoother. According to the current progress, at the latest, Blaine will be able to complete the shooting of lens materials by early November."

A large black Mercedes-Benz business car drove out smoothly from Toronto's Pearson Airport. Kevin Feige, the producer of the main affairs of the "X-Men", immediately began to report on the progress of the crew's work in recent times after Wayne and his group got on the car.

Although everyone regards him as the number one producer of the 20th Century Fox and the huge crew members, subconsciously he is the first producer of the film, but he is not lost in power and still maintains enough respect for Wayne, who does not participate in any specific work.

"very good."

Along the way, listening to Kevin Feige's simple narration of the shooting progress and talking about some minor problems in the shooting, Wayne nodded from time to time. "You go back and tell Bourne Singer that you are ready to pull the studio, and I will check the shot materials tomorrow."

“It’s ready.”

Although the crew looked like a good man from preparation to filming, Kevin Feige and Bourne Singer declined at all for the preparations. "At the Doubletree Hotel in the city center, the crew opened a presidential suite for you for a long time. I also booked a conference room with the hotel in advance, which has been decorated into a studio."

Long ago, Jimmy signed a contract with 20th Century Fox not only stipulated the sky-high salary of the producer, but also made detailed terms for his personal treatment at work. According to the contract signed by both parties, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, Wayne's treatment must be the first in the crew.

Therefore, even if he only comes occasionally on weekends to check the crew's work progress, Kevin Feige strictly follows the contract, providing and retaining the best working environment for him. Even if the hotel's presidential suite is empty, these external conditions must be included.

After hearing Kevin Feige's answer, Wayne nodded silently. One thing he cared more than anyone else, that is, the reason why Twentieth Century Fox spent a lot of money to invite himself over is to ensure the success rate of the movie, rather than just creating a development outline and script of "X-Men".

Although both parties knew that most of his sky-high salary was the buyout fee for the outline of this trilogy and script.

He is not responsible for the specific work, including the crew's financial control and other important rights, which have been issued to Kevin Feige. These have been marked in advance in the contract, but one thing is very important, that is, he must control the direction of the movie without going in a wrong way.

Therefore, he will confirm all the shot materials that have been shot in the end. Without his nod, even if all the films are shot, others will not have the right to do post-production work.

The car drove smoothly to downtown Toronto. Wayne looked at the street scene that was rapidly retreating outside the car window and asked casually: "Didn't there be any trouble in the crew during this period?"

"Fortunately, it's all a little trouble."

Kevin Feige leaned on the seat of the business car. After hearing this question, although his body was relaxed on the surface, his eyes were actually slowly narrowing. "You know, Wayne, there are no large crews like this in the circle that can shoot quietly at all, but they are all small troubles and have no impact on the crew's shooting."

Both of them understand some things in their hearts, that is, a large-scale investment crew like "X-Men" will definitely have some inexplicable troubles, and some can indeed affect the crew's work, such as various non-profit organizations that suddenly come to their door, or some unexpected situations that suddenly occur.

Not only the "X-Men" crews are facing this situation, but all the large crews in Hollywood will face all kinds of troubles, even Wayne's crew. The big projects of a large film company are like a beacon in the dark night, and there is no way to hide themselves well. All kinds of troubles will definitely come to you.

This is just an external problem. There will be no internal problems like this crew that consists of hundreds of people. As we all know, there is no harmony within the Hollywood crew. The conflicts caused by various reasons are often the biggest headache for the crew leader.

At this time, Kevin Feige was like this. As the crew of "X-Men" has gone through the running-in period, the actors and behind-the-scenes staff have been included in a good working state, and various internal minor troubles have become hidden dangers that may affect the progress of the work.

"Harry Berry..."

Scan the face of the man beside him, Kevin Feige sighed in his heart, pondered for a while before continuing to speak, and said, "Wayne, you know, as long as those actresses join the crew, they will become another brainless creature, so..."

"Hmm?" Wayne's brow frowned slightly when he heard the other party lifting the black pearl, withdrew his gaze that had been looking out the car window, turned his head to look at the producer of the crew and asked, "Harry caused trouble in the crew?"

Harry Berry used his own relationship to get some care in the crew, which was understandable. However, he would never allow him to make trouble in the crew and affect the normal shooting progress.

"No, Harry has been quite low-key since he joined the crew."

The word "动" is raised! When it comes to this, Kevin Feige swears in his heart. He couldn't care about such a small problem at all, but with the relationship between the black pearl and the men around him, it would be better for him to say it out loud instead of letting the black pearl talk about these trash things.

"About three or four days ago, the news that Harry Berry paid $6 million on this project. I don't know who came to the crew." Kevin Feige shrugged and said with a headache: "Then the actresses in the crew spontaneously united and began to isolate Harry Berry, uh..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Wayne's face again, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before continuing: "Then those male actors gradually began to isolate her. You know, Wayne, those actors have reached a point of neuroticism because of their personal treatment."

Things like this are not uncommon in the Hollywood crew, and Wayne is certainly aware of this. The actors are just isolating Harry Berry together, and have not taken any further and excessive actions. In fact, she has already taken the upper hand in this invisible collision.

It's very simple. Everyone in the crew knows that with Harry Berry's worth in the circle, it's impossible to get this premium pay. The fact is that she was able to sign this contract in a low-key manner entirely because Twentieth Century Fox sold him face.

The six million dollar pay is indeed much higher for today's Harry Berry, but it is not unreasonable to combine her popularity with several films she has previously participated in, plus some other reasons.

But "X-Men" is destined to not be a separate movie. What if the sequels continue to be filmed in the future? Should she be given a higher salary? You should know that it has long become a practice in the circle to participate in a sequel film in Hollywood.

Wayne smiled, but didn't say much, just waved his hand and asked, "Has it affected the crew's daily work?"

"Not yet." Kevin Feige shrugged and said with confidence when he saw a smile on his face.

"Then ignore the things between actors."

As long as it does not affect normal work, the crew will not care about the conflicts between actors. This is the most normal way to do it in Hollywood. The shooting time of a movie is, in the short term, three or two months will be more than a year. After the work is over, everyone goes their separate ways. Everyone has a working relationship. How is the personal relationship between actors so no one cares about it?

If it weren't for the little relationship between Harry Berry and Wayne, Kevin Feige wouldn't have talked about this. Sometimes society is so realistic.

Moreover, for Wayne, he has never concealed his nepotism and tried to give his own people better treatment, which is also one of the norms in the circle, so he is not afraid of anyone talking about it at all.

The car returned to silence again. After arriving at the Doubletree Hotel in Hilton, the car stopped for a while. The car set off from the hotel again and headed to the location where the crew was filming. Along the way, neither of them was talking about this topic, and they only communicated with each other about the work of "X-Men".
