King of Hollywood

"Clink, come over here and put up the light stand! And you, uh...what's your name? Okay, Brett, move this thing over there and tell them to clean up the place Come out, hurry up!"

With the voice of the director's assistant, the motel room was busy. The crew of "Pulp Fiction" was under the supervision of a director's assistant, setting up the environment for the next filming. As the director, A Derian was talking to Bruce Willis on the other side.

As Adrian predicted, John Travolta, who had fallen to the bottom, agreed after only a few minutes of thinking, and only received a salary of 100,000 US dollars-of course, the box office share still has to be written into the contract After all, after all, he is still a big star who has been famous for a long time. Anyway, if he fails at the box office, he won't get much.

Adrian didn't care too much. No one except him would know how much box office this movie could get. Travolta had already starred at the lowest price and didn't give a share. It really didn't comply with the rules, so It's just that the pressure is divided into proportions.

The same is true for Samuel Jackson. He has just emerged, and his partner is a well-known ghost director in the circle, so he has no objection to the conditions offered. Only Bruce Willis, although he still doesn't have the strong popularity two years later, is not low now, and he directly offered a price of 7 million. Adrian naturally refused to accept it. No matter what, the cost couldn't be higher than the original version, right? So after several negotiations, Willis finally got Willis to reduce his salary to 3 million, and the price was part of the box office share, but it was lower than that of Travolta.

It seems to be a loss. If everything goes well, Bruce's share will definitely be more than 4 million. But Adrian doesn't think so. This is an opportunity to build a good relationship with Bruce. He has taken a fancy to the agents of Travolta, Jackson, and Willis. The development of the company will help a lot.

"Impatience and anger, you feel irritable and angry, and at the same time a little flustered, because the gold watch was left to you by your father after all the hard work, which is very important to you. But you can't vent it completely, because Your woman is here, although you are angry that she forgot to bring the gold watch, although you are thinking in your heart: Oh, this stupid woman! But you still love him after all." Adrian explained with gestures.

"Ed, do you think this is okay?" Willis said after pondering for a while.

He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions, then suddenly raised his head and began to breathe rapidly, his shoulders and lower abdomen were violently heaving up and down, both hands were also raised up and kept clenched into fists and then opened again, this kind of emotion lasted for a few seconds. Only slowly calmed down.

"Very good!" Adrian clapped his hands to express his praise, "That's it, you did a good job, Bruce, those guys who said your acting skills are bad should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge."

"This is too exaggerated, Ed." Willis laughed as he stroked his thinning hair, "I'm glad you're satisfied."

"Then, let's start." Adrian saw the assistant director's "everything is ready" gesture to him, patted Willis on the shoulder and walked towards the camera.

All the shots this time will be shot outside. Anyway, the venues required are motels, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, basements, etc. It is much cheaper to rent these places in the suburbs than to build them in the studio. The only trouble is that you need to move around, and if the bar and restaurant used for shooting are too close, it is easy to pass through.

Adrian originally wanted to go to the restaurant where Kate and Kate were robbed before to film the robbery scene, but after careful consideration, he put it behind him. The bandit has not been caught so far, and the American police are not doing very well, so forget it.

Filming now is the second of three stories: The Gold Watch. Willis plays Butch, a boxer who fights underground. He has a gold watch left by his father. He attaches great importance to this gold watch and keeps it with him wherever he goes. This time, Masha the gangster gave him a sum of money, asking him to make fake punches in the next boxing match. Butch pretended to agree, but put all the money on himself, and then beat the opponent to death in the game, so he made a lot of money and wanted to take his girlfriend away. However, her girlfriend left her most important gold watch at home, and Butch had to go back to get it, but bumped into Marsha who was waiting in his house. Actually reconciled with Marsha and got away with money.

In fact, what Adrian wanted to shoot at the beginning was the third story "Bonnie's Situation". The scenes of this story are basically indoors, and the scene of the restaurant can be filmed for the last time. But Willis only had 2 weeks, and he had another movie to shoot, so Adrian had to make "The Gold Watch" first.

In fact, the main scenes of this story are also indoors, and there are three main places: the motel, the grocery store and its basement, and Butch's home. However, there was a chase between Marsha and Butch. This scene had to be filmed in front of many people on a sunny street, and many extras were needed, which was very troublesome to handle.

Fortunately, at least Willis gave him a surprise. The acting skills of this burly man are not as rough as his appearance. For example, in the tender scene in the motel, he used body language to properly express the character's due Gentle, without making Karina Plummer uncomfortable.

It's a pity that his appearance is a little... how should I put it, very tough, his square face seems to be carved out by a knife, although his eyes are a little small, but they give people a sense of determination, no wonder he will appear in "Die Hard" "The tough guy is famous in one fell swoop. But it is precisely because of this that after playing too many tough guys, his image was limited, and the audience felt uncoordinated when he tried other roles, and he was dubbed a facial paralyzed title over time.

Well, let’s not mention that, after spending three days filming the motel scene, Adrian started preparing for the next scene. In order, it should be the grocery store, the chase, and finally the scene at Butch's house, because in Butch's house, there is a scene where Travolta is shot and killed by Willis. After Willis finished filming, Travolta's footage continued.

But after thinking about it, Adrian decided to shoot the chase first. Anyway, this shot is relatively short, and the sooner it is completed, the better. It's just that the plan never changes quickly, whether it's a long-term plan or a temporary plan. The day after Adrian started filming the chase scene, the nomination list for the 64th Oscar was released.
