Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 37 Have nothing to do with yourself? (ask for a recommendation ticket)

On the first day of filming, someone came to the scene to make trouble?

Several people who just got into the car looked at each other, and they all saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

It’s not that making trouble, it never happens in Hollywood crews.

Rather, this kind of situation usually only happens to crews who shoot far away from Los Angeles or like to be a monster.

For example, during the filming of "Top Gun", because the F-14 needed to fly at low altitude, the residents around the route directly sued the relevant personnel of the crew; Submitted an application to New York City, closed Times Square, the most bustling street in the world during the daytime on Sunday, and was complained by local residents; for example, Chinatown in Manhattan and the streets of the Lower East Side, which are the favorite places for filming by Hollywood crews Every time a film crew goes to shoot, it will always interfere with the normal life of local residents. Because of this, the satisfaction of the people in this area has been hovering below the standard line all year round.

After all, not every crew can build a private highway directly for a car chase scene like "The Matrix"; people can't learn from Johnny Depp and Jerry Brusheimer, forcing Disney continues to increase the amount of investment in order to build a railway for the "Lone Ranger" crew for real filming.

According to the logical thinking of normal people, no one thinks that the crew of "Home Alone" will provoke the surrounding residents.

This residential area was invested by David Olsen, and it has not yet started to sell. It is far away from other residential areas. Even if there is any big movement on the crew, it will not affect other people!

What's more, their crew doesn't have any explosive scenes, chase scenes, and doesn't make decibel noises that make people's ears ring.

This is really incomprehensible.

However, just when Roland was puzzled, Joe Pesci, who had already reported the letter, lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the scene. Daniel Stern didn't mean to ask any more questions, and followed closely behind, disappearing from Roland's sight among.

The two of them are just actors and don't want to go into this muddy water.

The attitude of director Chris Columbus is much more interesting.

The production director of Fox’s production team was recruited, and he gave a few instructions in a voice that Roland could not catch, and then he turned the car key neatly, ignited the engine, without any appearance of the boss of the production team, smiled and nodded at Roland, and then—

He also left.

Looking at the gradually leaving car shadow, looking at the empty parking space.

Mohamy, who was sitting in the driver's seat, blinked his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

Looked up at the central rearview mirror, staring at Roland with his eyes empty. The guy who was about to leave school and start his own business asked full of doubts: "Roland, is there no one in the whole crew?"

"Since we know that there is trouble, no one will go and have a look?"

Roland was taken aback when he heard this question.

When he saw Mohamy's beeping face through the reflection in the rearview mirror, Roland, who was still thinking about things, reacted and said with a smile: "Isn't the production director just a human being?"

"Can't we just let him take care of it?"

"Their existence is to solve all the problems in the crew, including these emergencies."

"What's more, they are still members of Fox. Facing the troublemakers, wouldn't it be better for Fox's spokesperson to come forward to solve the problem?"

That's right, in Roland's view, it's a normal phenomenon that these guys don't care about things.

Because, the production director of the crew did not go on strike!

Don't look at the word "producer" attached to the production director, but in fact, they are actually the number one handyman in the crew.

Under the Hollywood producer-centered system, the producer is the boss of a project, no matter whether it is a director or a starring role, they are all employees recruited by him. Control the real progress of a project? Naturally, one or more production directors were assigned to work on the set.

These production directors need to solve various problems encountered by the crew, and cooperate with the director and actors to complete the entire film.

It is because of their existence that when encountering various emergencies, other people will naturally not take the initiative to step forward.

After all, everyone will worry that the situation of making a mess out of nothing will happen to them.

Joe Pesci, for the sake of the same camp, it is already very good to go around and report a letter.

As for asking him to come forward to check?

That is impossible.

The situation where the director becomes a nanny only happens here.

Christopher Nolan planted 500 acres of cornfields for the filming of "Interstellar", but he did not stare at the land himself, and Lao Mouzi also planted a pile of sorghum for the filming of "Red Sorghum". But that field was guarded by him himself.

This is the difference in the crew system.

"Then we also leave from there?"

Seeing that Roland was not very interested, Mohamy didn't ask, but turned the steering wheel on his own.

"Okay, you can figure it out." Roland responded indifferently, and his eyes also drifted out of the window.

It's nothing to do with him. His high-hanging appearance really made Mohamy think that Roland was not interested in these things.

However, he didn't realize that when he left, Roland's eyes kept peeking at the main entrance.

Roland really acted so indifferent?

How can it be.

Now he is more nervous than anyone else.

With his intervention, the crew of "Home Alone" has changed beyond recognition.

The film crew in the previous life was not filmed in Los Angeles. How much has changed during the whole process?

How did Roland know?

But what he knows is that due to his appearance, the scenes and layouts involved in the crew are somewhat different from those in his previous life. Let’s take the villa full of stories as an example. Are the villas the same?

impossible.

In order to solve this problem, the crew planned to modify the appearance of the villa during post-production.

Just such a small matter can cause certain changes in the whole movie, but now, on the first day of filming, someone came to make trouble, so who can guarantee that this sudden accident will not disturb the whole movie? What about the normal filming schedule for the movie?

But no matter how worried Roland was, he would not go over to check.

Even if the sky fell, it would not be his turn to stand up for this little man.

Of course, not checking in person does not mean indifference.

For a relatively closed crew, this kind of gossip news simply cannot survive the third day.

While he was wondering why the troublemaker came, Roland, who arrived at the crew early the next morning, found strangely that everything related to the troublemaker hadn't become a topic of leisure for the crew.

They looked normal, as if they didn't know what happened yesterday.

What's the situation?

Note: ① When Lao Mouzi filmed "Red Sorghum", he didn't stare at it at the beginning, but later in the acceptance inspection, he found that he was tricked by the local farmers. There were two kinds of sorghum at that time, one was short , high-yield, the other is high-yield, low-yield, and in order to make movies, Lao Mouzi of course wants the kind that is taller than a human, but after he spends money, the local farmers still follow the high-yield variety Planting, there is no way, the crew stopped working for half a month, and then hired a fire truck to water the sorghum field every day. They also distributed chemical fertilizers to local farmers to fertilize sorghum. After the farmers pulled the fertilizer into the field, they immediately pulled the fertilizer home and hid it under the bed when they saw the supervisors leave.
