At seven o'clock in the morning, Wayne got up and started preparing the materials. He put all the things he wanted to use neatly into his bag. Looking at Naomi who was still wearing makeup, he shook his head and said to her:

"We need to get there sooner, so we can't be late as the project planner."

"Okay, I'm fine, I can go out at any time. Do you want me to get your bag for you?"

Naomi threw down her eyebrow pencil, came over to hug Wayne's arm, and took the file bag in his hand. Wayne did not refuse. He enjoyed the intimacy of the beauty, which easily gave men an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

Taking the car keys, locking the door and going downstairs, he drove the blonde beauty straight to Jasmine Cafe. After parking the car and entering the store, no one came. The two of them ordered coffee and sandwiches first and waited for everyone as breakfast.

The first one was Luke, who was very enthusiastic about this. Maybe Wayne's work attitude infected him, or maybe it was his first time in-depth participation in the production of a movie, which made him unable to sleep well.

Then came the crew members one after another. Wayne had only met them once and was still unfamiliar with them. Everyone had no gossip to talk about, they just briefly introduced themselves and waited for others silently.

At 7:50, Jimmy walked in with Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. The three of them pulled open the chairs and sat down Jimmy and said to everyone:

"Sorry, it seems we are late, and I hope it doesn't cause trouble for everyone."

"It's not until eight o'clock yet, you're not late. Okay, everyone is here, I think everyone is not very familiar with it, it doesn't matter, it will become familiar when the shooting starts. I asked everyone to come together today, in order to notify everyone that the shooting will start two days later.

The shooting location is mainly in Orange County, and the scenes in the school are in Vincent High School. I have negotiated with them. The school will help clear the scene and provide some necessary props. Rose and Mia, if you need the props in the school, please be kind and coordinate with them.

Lily, if you need a powder room, you can have Luke coordinate with them a classroom, and we don’t rent makeup trailers. Is there any problem?"

He saw that everyone was here and began to arrange work with everyone. Seeing the props artist Rose and makeup artist Lily nodded, Wayne continued:

"The hospital scene is an abandoned mental hospital in the suburbs of Orange County. Luke, we only need half of the first floor. You have to go and take a look with Rose and set it up in advance."

"Sorry to interrupt, Wayne, it seems that Mia and I can't handle the props and sets. I need help."

Rose heard him arrange the hospital and knocked on the table to remind Wayne.

"No problem, Luke, go find two temporary workshops. Are there any other questions? About the prop set."

"Not yet. I'll take a look at it on the spot. If there is any problem, I'm looking for you."

Wayne nodded at him and continued:

"There are only two main locations, with scenes concentrated on shooting, scenes on the middle road and tunnel, and finally, looking for an uninhabited road and bridge hole to shoot.

If the shooting cycle goes smoothly, I hope everyone will show their professional attitude. This is the case. What problems are there now? When the shooting officially starts, I don’t want my work to be interrupted."

After saying that, he looked at a group of people around him. The crew was so simple that there were only a dozen people in the end. Seeing the lighting maker Steve raise his hand, Wayne signaled him to say something.

"Where did we live in the past? Sorry, I'm just afraid that you will not consider some places when you first made a video."

When he finished speaking, before Wayne could speak, Luke answered him.

"I have booked a hotel in advance, and I have food and accommodation there. It is not far from the shooting location, two blocks."

Seeing Steve nodding, he continued to look at everyone. He knew that he was a novice director, and these crew members had more or less participated in the film production. They would definitely have doubts about themselves. As long as they had no problem with their work, everything else would be easy to discuss.

For these people, this may be a job that lasts about two months, and nothing else can represent it. Those who have read the script settings know that this small-investment alternative horror movie has little hope of success.

"Okay, since there is nothing wrong with it, everyone will go back and prepare. Two days later, there will be a car to take you over at the entrance of this cafe. By the way, Jimmy, there is no problem with the supporting actors, right?"

Everyone stood up and walked out together, and he asked Jimmy again with concern.

"Don't worry, except for the teacher who found a handsome middle-aged man and left a few background supporters for the school children, it's no problem. It's very easy to find new actors."

After Jimmy finished talking to Wayne, he nodded at him and drove away first. He also took Naomi back to the apartment, and he breathed a sigh of relief after arranging the arrangement. The first phase of the work was finally finished, and the rest was the filming.

Only then did he finally understand why the teacher always said that a movie is the result of the efforts of everyone in the crew. He did not have the casting director to audition for casting, nor did the producer and producer help control the fund and crew issues.

There was no photographer or photography assistant to help him arrange the camera, and there were not many assistant directors doing separate scene shooting. To be honest, these early arrangements made him physically and mentally exhausted.

After spending all his time to accumulate this simple crew, he felt that he was unable to do anything, but what he should arrange must be arranged, at least now he is moving forward step by step.

Picking up the phone, he dialed Luke's number.

"Luke, this is Wayne. Tomorrow, you will confirm the rented bus and various equipment. Put it in the car in advance, so don't have any accidents."

"Okay, I'll arrange to load all the cars tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing Luke's answer, he sat on the balcony with confidence and continued to draw the storyboard. Naomi finally returned to the opposite side, allowing him to draw the artwork while thinking about the unprepared ones.

He pulled out a piece of paper from the typewriter and slowly marked it with a pencil. The location of the location was slowly finalized, and props, photography equipment, and sets were also in place. Before the shooting, Wayne had to review these personally to make sure there was no problem.

If there is a mistake in this preliminary preparation, it will definitely become a big trouble in shooting. If there is a slight delay in shooting or shooting accident, it may be overspending. If it exceeds the budget, it may be really giving up halfway because of the money.

We also need to consider this simple crew that has been put together for the first time. It is inevitable that there will be tacit understanding problems. Well, then we should give priority to filming relatively simple scenes in the early stage, find the state of the actors, and also be able to get the crew together.

It can be seen that these two main girls will definitely not deal with each other during filming, but Wayne believes that under the constraints of the contract and the film are successfully completed, driven by the work qualifications and interests that may be brought by them, they should let go of their differences and complete their work first.

My mother told him when he was young that there was no harmonious crew in Hollywood. Wayne knew this, but there were differences and conflicts between them, even if they were conflicted, the premise was that they could not affect their work. Otherwise, Wayne would definitely let them get out. Anyway, the cost of actors was really not high.

This is a collection of film talents from all over North America and even the West, beautiful beauties and handsome guys. Hollywood or Los Angeles, the most important thing is the young actors who have not made their debut.

Regarding the role of the female supporting actress, when he first considered it, he also thought about using minorities to make the film politically correct. Later, he rejected it himself. This was the early 1990s, and it was not the era of the future generations of life.

In that era, he shook his head when he thought about it. If the main creative team did not show black people in a film, it would be racial discrimination. If black people are villains, it would be racial discrimination. If the person who saved the world was not black, it would be racial discrimination. Even if your ex-girlfriend, who was not black or brown, was suspected of racial discrimination.

To be honest, he has been here for twenty years. He has come into contact with many people of color since childhood. Even private schools are inevitable. What he hates the most is Nico. These people are lazy and proficient in stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and scams, but they just can't learn to support themselves and their families.

So even in his future movies, he doesn't plan to use black actors who feel good about himself. If necessary, he can consider a black skin and white heart type like Will Smith. Hei Brother who strives to integrate into mainstream society is a real smart person.

“Dong, Dong!”

Wayne, who was writing and drawing one by one on the paper, heard someone knocking on the door. He rubbed the whole piece of paper hard, threw it into the trash can, and got up to open the door.

"Hey, although I have been separated for less than a long time, I still miss you. Are you still working?"

He saw Naomi standing outside the door playfully, and frowned as she heard what she said.

"Naomi, we're just friends!"

The beautiful neighbor's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, looked at Wayne's expression and said:

"Of course, we are good friends. I'm here to invite you to my meal. You probably didn't make any arrangements at noon, right?"

Wayne closed the door and followed the playful blonde beauty to the opposite side. The woman was always testing herself constantly. Wayne thought to himself, if this movie was screwed up, this woman would probably turn against her face faster than flipping a book.

The layout of the apartment is the same. The difference is that her room is obviously much cleaner than her. It can be seen that this woman likes to be clean and tidy, and may even be a little slight obsession with cleanliness.

Next to the open kitchen counter is a small dining table. There are two large plates on it, each with a steak and a bottle of red wine.

After he sat down, he lowered his head and realized that his steak was obviously large, and he obviously considered his appetite.

"Naomi, sometimes you are such a hot little wild cat, sometimes you are like a careful and perfect lover, charming and want to hide you in the house just to possess your beauty alone."

Naomi looked at the man who was gracefully cutting steak and talking sweetly in her mouth, but she knew that it was enough to listen to it. It took only two days for her to see through this man. These would only stay in her mouth and would never stop her because of any woman or relationship.
