Heads Up Hollywood

This was the biggest predicament Tang En had encountered since filming "Titanic". Even the poisoning incident had never worried him so much.

Filming is interrupted again.

The scene of "Jack" and "Luth" saying goodbye to each other on the sea has been filmed for 17 hours in total. The swimming pool has been changed into a sink, and warm water has been changed to cold water, but the effect still does not satisfy Tang En.

Tang En felt very bitter in his heart.

The reality of the predicament is really not as good as imagined.

Originally in his plan, the shooting was from easy to difficult, and this shot shot in warm water would not take too long.

But now Tang En understands, how can this be from easy to difficult? It is clearly from difficult to easy!

This set of shots is even the most difficult scene in the whole movie!

It’s just that we can’t back down now, and all the crew members understand that as long as this set of shots can pass, then Leonardo and Kate, who have withstood the test, will walk in the garden and do it at their fingertips when facing the next underwater scene. All in one go.

"Why haven't James and Grant arrived yet?"

Tang En called the core production staff together, intending to discuss how to solve the current difficulties, but he didn't wait for these two people for a long time.

At this time, a staff member hurried over, "James and Grant...are arguing over there!"

Tang En looked unhappy, "What's going on?"

"I heard that Mr. Jon Landau was terminated by the company, and Mr. Cameron is very dissatisfied with this."

Tang En raised his eyebrows, this Grant was quite fast.

In fact, he didn't have any evidence to prove that Jon Landau instructed people to poison. It's just this kind of thing. It's better to believe it than to believe it.

At this time, a beautiful figure appeared at the door of Tang En's lounge - Kate Winslet.

A thick towel was draped over her shoulders, her hair was still wet, and because of being soaked in water for a long time, even without makeup, her face was still pale.

In fact, Tang En hadn't spent the night with her these days in order to let her find her status.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, can I have a few words with Dunn alone?"

Her voice is very soft and weak, and it is obvious that filming has made her body almost collapsed.

Of course, everyone has no reason to refuse the heroine's request.

After everyone left, Tang En asked with concern: "Kate, what's the matter?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw big tears rolling down Kate's snow-white cheeks. She tried her best to control it, but there was still a low sobbing sound.

Tang En panicked, hurried over, hugged her gently in his arms, and said softly: "Kate, be strong, I know, you are a brave and good girl, you can do it, I have always believed that you can do it !"

Of course Dunn could understand Kate's tears.

She is under too much pressure!

Soaking in water for two consecutive days, continuous NG, continuous repetition, heavy load, made her nerves tense all the time.

The producers, including Cameron, are full of praise for Kate, thinking that she has a strong character and is a good actor with unlimited potential.

It's just... She's not yet 21 years old!

The mountain-like pressure caused even Leonardo to complain repeatedly, and even Tang En was mentally exhausted, let alone a young woman?

"Tang En, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore! The filming of this scene is too painful, I can't hold on anymore!" Kate leaned in Tang En's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Tang En dissuaded: "Kate, we all believe in you, you can do it, you will definitely make a breakthrough! Kate, stick to it, this shot is probably the biggest opportunity in your life, seize it and control yourself fate, okay?"

Kate choked with sobs, "But... But I really can't do it anymore, let's just make it up, just like those scenes in the past."

Tang En's face was serious, and he immediately vetoed, "Absolutely not! This is not an ordinary drama, this is the soul of the whole movie, you must show 100% of your strength, what I need is a perfect shot! "

In the previous filming, Twain had a passable attitude in many scenes. If the performance is full of 100 points, and sometimes Kate's performance reaches 80 points, Twain chose to pass. For this reason, he and Cameron had quarreled many times.

But this set of shots is different. Tang En made up his mind that he must shoot 99 points, or even a perfect score!

It is true that Twain is the mirror image of Cameron's professional ability, but he is not willing to be the second Cameron. He wants this movie to be deeply stamped with his own brand!

Seeing Tang En's attitude so resolute, Kate bit her lips tightly, cried for a while, and then left Tang En's arms, wiped her tears, and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, Tang En, I just want to vent Don't worry, I'll stick to it."

Looking at her haggard face, Tang En couldn't bear it.

But the road to dreaming, how can it be easy?

"Kate, you are an excellent actress. You are strong, brave, and fearless, and everyone can see you." Tang En kissed her forehead lightly, "You have given 'Ruth' a brand new Life, I believe, if you keep working hard, you will give her back an ascended soul."

Kate nodded heavily, "Twain, I understand, don't worry, I won't let you down."

...

The day's shooting is over, and the work is not going well.

Tang En was a little irritable.

Not only the delay of the shooting progress, but also the quarrel between Cameron and Grant.

When the poisoning incident broke out, Tang En's first thought was that Jon Landau was setting up a scheme to persecute him.

But now that I think about it, it seems... there are quite a lot of flaws.

The poisoning incident was too serious, and once it happened, it would be no small matter. Jon Landau is still in New York, does he dare to make up his mind to entrust such an important task to others?

If you are not careful, you will lose your reputation!

And that day, more than a hundred people ate food, but the poisoned people were only a dozen very unimportant staff members and extras. It was a coincidence.

If it was Jon Landau's instigation, he would definitely start with some core personnel and main actors of the crew. Only in this way can Twain's shooting plan be smoothly delayed.

The most important point, Cameron's reaction was too intense!

Cameron and Jon Landau have been friends for many years and know each other very well.

Although Cameron has a grumpy temper, he is very upright, not at all like a Hollywood director. He drew body sketches for Kate Winslet, and even took photos of her in bikinis, relying on his imagination to supplement, and if he replaced it with someone else, he would definitely let the heroine strip naked in front of him.

If Cameron thinks that Jon Landau can't do the poisoning thing, then it's very likely that he didn't do it.

So... who poisoned it?

Tang En sat on the sofa in the room, thinking hard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Following the knock on the door, George Paxton's excited face was seen.

"George? Anything?"

Tang En pointed to the sofa.

George Paxton's current position is a director's assistant, but he has no professional knowledge and knows nothing about the professional skills of various departments of the crew. He has only been a studio assistant for six years, and his ability is very mediocre.

Tang En promoted him to a position because of his good relationship with him, but George was simply not qualified for it.

But the mediocrity of ability does not mean the lack of IQ. On the contrary, George is very smart and self-aware. His current position is a director's assistant, but he is still doing chores as a studio assistant, and he has no complaints.

After George sat down, he pondered for a while, "Tang En, I think...it's more appropriate for me to go to the set in New York now."

"Going to New York?" Tang En looked confused, "You are an assistant to the director, what are you going to do in New York if you don't stay on the set?"

George shook his head and laughed, "I know what I'm capable of, and I'm not a director's assistant at all. Stay here, everyone will take care of me for your sake, but it's awkward. Why don't you go to the New York studio and help you get the front line. Listen Say... Didn't Jon Landau stay there for more than half a month?"

"Um?"

Tang En opened his eyes suddenly.

Facing Tang En's gaze, George's complexion changed slightly, his eyes dodged a little.

Tang En pondered for a while, then let out a long breath, and said in a low voice, "George, you were the one who injected the poison, right?"

George was silent for a long time, "Twain, I don't want to lie to you."

Tang En looked a little excited, "George, do you know the nature of this matter? Do you know that it is dangerous for you to do so?"

George smiled, a little self-deprecating, "Twain, I know what I am capable of, but you are different. You are a genius and a rising star in Hollywood! In the future, there will be more and more talents around you, but I What? What can I do? I need to find a position that suits me, otherwise I might as well go back and be a studio assistant.”

"You're going to jail!"

Tang En's tone was extremely serious, his eyes widened, and he was even a little angry.

George smiled in relief, with a nonchalant expression, "You will find a way to rescue me, right, Dunn?"

Tang En's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked up to the sky and sighed, "George, you are like this...I can't bear it."

George smiled and said, "Twain, you don't have to think so much. You are the boss. If you give me a job and a salary, I should give something. If there is a reward, there must be a contribution. It's only natural, isn't it?"

"But it's too dangerous..."

Tang En's words were directly interrupted by George, who said solemnly: "Tang En, you don't need to say anything. I know my ability and my job position. These are all voluntary by me and have nothing to do with you."

"But things like poisoning... are really too much."

George shook his head and said sternly: "Not too much, how could Jon Landau be fired? Tang En, you are not only my friend, but also my boss. There are some things that are inconvenient for you to deal with, but I can handle them. "

Without giving Tang En a chance to speak, George patted his chest confidently, and said proudly, "I'm not very wise, but I do have some cleverness, hehe. You see, the poisoning incident is so big, but we have nothing to lose. I also got rid of the great enemy Jon Landau, which shows that I am still relatively good at this kind of work."

Tang En didn't speak for a long time, his narrowed eyes flashed with strange brilliance, "George, I won't admit it."

"Of course!" George was already mentally prepared, smiling, "Everything I do has nothing to do with you, it's all my own opinion."

Tang En's tiger eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gave George Paxton a big hug, "George, in this life, we are brothers!"
