Ace Hollywood

Chapter 336: taste of power

While Daniel and Rob Marshall were chatting, the set crew was building a cauldron, surrounded by flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits.

This is a ritual of eating living people.

Daniel needs to sit inside and shoot first, then someone comes out, ignites a fire and shoots, and finally post-production together.

Marshall said he wanted to burn hot spots, of course, was a joke.

Daniel looked around, Orlando and Kayla's chairs on the other side. This is very interesting. Except for Daniel Sandler, the rest of the rest of the actors are in other places. Only he, Marshall and Bruckheimer are together. When they are off work, Daniel is mostly with Marshall. Chat, discuss how to shoot.

Although he was also an investor when he was making the first film and was quite famous, he didn't have this kind of treatment for granted.

Of course, Hollywood has the first interest. Whoever has more power will have more privileges, but it also needs time to ferment. What's more, in 2004 and 2005, Daniel did a lot of great things, and many people looked at him. had to change. Marshall can still chat and laugh with him, which is determined by the director's position, not to mention that Marshall is not a person with clear ambitions, who shoots several plays a year. In this way, MGM and DD can do very little for him. . But Orlando and Kayla are very different. They are more chatting with Miller and Diesel, and they rarely come to joke with Daniel as they did in the first film.

Daniel is really special.

There had never been such a person before him.

Not only a legendary superstar, but also a figure at the top of the industry's power, people have the opportunity to film the same scene, but they have to be afraid.

Daniel also understands this, but many things are involuntary.

Paul Walker can also find him to drink and chat. Of course their friendship would become close again, and Daniel would even consider inviting him to appear in Transformers. Big people also need friends, but friends don't have to be big people. In many cases, making friends depends on people.

"Are these people from the local tribe?"

Marshall nodded. "We employ more than 400 people. Native Dominican tribesmen. Tribe, what a primitive and ancient word. It's exciting, isn't it?"

"I don't get excited about them, do you? Marshall?"

Get a white eye.

"But I see that some of them don't seem very happy."

"Um?"

Marshall looked at the temporary workers of the local tribe in surprise, and indeed saw that many people were looking at the cauldron set with a somewhat resentful expression on their faces, which made him feel very strange. It is very important for the local people to communicate smoothly, which is very important for the crew of the filming in other places. Otherwise, if someone makes a mistake, it is likely to be delayed for a day or two, which is a loss of millions.

He beckoned to find someone to come over and ask him to inquire.

Soon, Marshall's assistant ran back, and did not specifically lower his voice to avoid Daniel.

"They say the local tribes are not cannibals. It's impossible to cook a living person, it will smear their tribe. It will cause them trouble."

Daniel suddenly remembered.

It’s true that Pirates of the Caribbean was very polarized with the locals when it was filmed, on the one hand, a crew stayed here for months and created hundreds of jobs. Brokers in such small places are very beneficial. Moreover, as a filming location for popular movies, the development of tourism is unique. As a Caribbean country, Dominica is originally a holiday destination. Now the icing on the cake, the benefits here may be long-lasting. Therefore, many people are grateful to the crew, and of course their attitudes are very positive and positive. But the local tribal leader had a bad time with the crew, and Disney Studios Dick Cook even made a public statement to deal with the dispute.

It seems that it is the incident caused by this scene.

But he has no intention of speaking. Disney Pictures is the producer, and they should handle everything.

Marshall thought for a moment, and without even communicating with Bruckheimer, he asked his assistant to pass the message, "This is just a fictional movie, no one will think they are cannibals. Tell them, I hope they can adjust their mentality, Don't affect the work, otherwise we will directly replace people."

so tough?

"Unemployment is super high here, 70 percent of people are out of work, and the opportunity to work on our set is very rare, and they'll figure out what to do. Besides, there's a problem, and Jeff and Disney will handle it."

Daniel was dumbfounded for a while, but Marshall had the same idea with him.

But he was right, Daniel saw that the local tribe staff quickly bowed their heads and stopped looking at the set.

...

"A dozen tribal leaders brought people to the scene."

Wearing sunglasses and carrying a backpack, Daniel was walking on the streets of Dominican style, and he couldn't tell whether he was watching the scenery more or the locals watching him more. This small town is very poor, not close to the sea, and has no tourist resources, but the advantage is that almost no one knows Daniel Sandler, he only brings Miller, and Di Shaer makes face masks at home - it's not easy. Daniel is resting today. Although the crew is still working, he always takes a day off every ten days and a half, otherwise no one can stand it.

He was staring at these quaint stone buildings in a trance. There were a lot of strange patterns on them, about beasts and totems, but he couldn't tell what they were. After being built with a chisel, the local red mud is filled in. On the large gray-yellow stone, one by one strange red patterns convey the thousands of years of history and beliefs of this tribe.

Fascinating.

Then Miller received a call. Of course, someone from DD Films was in the crew. As one-third of the big investors, it was necessary to follow up the entire filming process. This time, Ferguson did not join the group himself. He was a DD filmmaker. Producers and teams hired by the industry. It was him who communicated with Miller.

"Are the locals going to make trouble?"

"It seems that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ seems to be a group of more than a dozen tribes, many people." Miller did not look nervous, "But the local police have passed, and Marshall and Jeff didn't go out at all. local government.”

Daniel had thought early in the morning that when the crew came to the Caribbean, of course, they brought a lot of security personnel, and they themselves had a scale of 400 people, so they were still very confident.

Disney finally chose Bataca Island, Dominica to shoot, of course because the scenery is suitable, but it must be related to the satisfactory conditions provided by the local government - such as providing satisfactory security protection.

As a Caribbean country that is very dependent on the United States, Dominica is a country and Disney is a giant group. It is not necessarily who has the upper hand. What's more, it is Dominican now who has something to do with Disney. The troubles of these locals will not cause a lot of trouble to the crew.

Both Marshall and Bruckheimer understood this.

But Daniel felt the breath of power that he was not so familiar with. (To be continued..)
