Hollywood Lover

"Oh! Of course! Mr. Birdwin, I won't keep you too long!" The young man hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and asked, "Mr. Birdwin, you said you were the action director of the crew, but now It turned into a drama manager, did those Hong Kong people take your job?"

Hearing this, Baldwin's expression became serious, with a cloudy expression on his face. He said with a somewhat eccentric tone: "Of course not! It's just that our director thinks that Hollywood's action design is not as good-looking as those from Hong Kong!"

Swinton's eyes lit up when he heard the words. It seemed that this was a crew member who was dissatisfied with Director Smith. He didn't expect to meet him this time. It seemed that the task assigned by the boss had been fulfilled!

Next, Baldwin complained loudly to the Swinton reporter, saying that Director Smith was acting arbitrarily in the crew. The movements designed by those Hong Kong people are like girls dancing without any sense of strength.

As for the fact that Baldwin had learned the opponent's movements before? I'm sorry, but the jealous guy like Baldwin has long forgotten this!

Swinton felt that he had gained a lot. He didn't expect that Mr. Birdwin, the first person he met, would complain so much about the martial arts instructor from Hong Kong. For him, this was simply a surprise.

Originally, the task assigned by the boss made him feel a little difficult to complete. He thought it was simply a trick, and even if it was really impossible, he would make up some random things. Anyway, the boss wanted news that could bad-mouth Smith.

But now it seems that everything is not so difficult! What this Baldwin said, he almost didn't need to add any embellishments, and directly posted the content of the chat between the two parties on the news, which was an excellent revelation. It not only satisfies the needs of the boss to speak ill of Smith, but also avoids the danger of his own defamation. This is simply fantastic! !

At the same time, members of other crews also met reporters from various media. But the news that these reporters got was quite different.

"Mr. Yuan is an admirable martial arts director. He has amazing skills in action guidance. The movements he designed are beautiful and elegant, and full of power. It's amazing!" A staff member of the crew said.

"Mr. Smith's choice of Yuan's class is definitely a genius' idea!" said a member of the lighting team.

"Mr. Yuan is very powerful. We can easily find solutions to problems that we can't solve." Hollywood's action design member.

"Smith is indeed a movie genius. He can always add his own whimsy to the movie. I can say that this movie definitely surpasses the previous two Smoking Barrels and The Mummy, especially the actions. It will shock your eyeballs!" Jack, the photographer who looked down on Zhang Dongcheng at first, but was eventually convinced by Zhang Dongcheng.

Countless boastful descriptions made these reporters feel that their trip was worthwhile.

Finally, when Zhang Dongcheng appeared and stopped the messy interview, the members of the crew were able to leave the street outside the martial arts hall, and smoothly rushed to the shooting location inside the spaceship that had been arranged.

At the same time, reports about The Matrix began to appear on various news boards.

"Smith's new movie, The Matrix, specially invited a martial arts director from Hong Kong. During this period, the crew seemed to have some conflicts, but it turned out that Smith's approach was correct. This martial arts director called Woo-Ping Yuen, In a short period of time, the members of the crew were impressed. This allowed the film to go on smoothly. I believe that Smith will present us with an unusual and alternative visual enjoyment this time! Oh! I can’t wait to see it now!” —— Los Angeles Entertainment weekly"

"Since Smith's new film has invited many martial arts instructors from Hong Kong, rumors of discord between the film crew have begun to wander on the boards of major newspapers and media, but now all these doubts have disappeared. WooPingYuen uses his strength A testament to Smith's faith in him!" - Los Angeles Times Entertainment

"It has been twenty-four years since the great Bruce Lee passed away. Just four years ago, Bruce Lee's beloved son Brandon Lee also passed away due to an accident on the crew. But now, Smith A young director of Chinese descent, will once again present the mysterious Chinese Kung Fu in front of us. We are looking forward to the release of The Matrix!" - "American Overseas Chinese Press"

Numerous media newspapers have dedicated entire pages of praise to The Matrix, but only one newspaper stands alone. That's Zhang Dongcheng's old friend, the Los Angeles media information where Ander's brother Gavin is located.

"Smith's Waterloo, The Matrix!"

It is still a huge headline for sensationalism. The process of Swinton's interview with Baldwin is described in detail below.

"Since Smith's new movie The Matrix was launched a few days ago, news about The Matrix seems to have become the darling of the media. But Smith has a deep sense of publicity, and this half-covered way is the most attractive way to attract human attention. The way.

But just yesterday our reporter had the honor to interview Mr. Baldwin, the former action director of the Matrix crew. From Mr. Baldwin's mouth, we finally have a clear understanding of the current situation of the Matrix crew!

Smith's blind faith in martial arts instructors from Hong Kong has already aroused the dissatisfaction of local Hollywood crew members. It is reported that a large-scale strike broke out among the staff of the film crew a few days ago, unanimously demanding that Hong Kong martial artists be kicked out of the film crew of The Matrix. But this strike was aborted under Smith's pressure!

But from this we can see that Smith is completely playing with fire. I believe that when the anger of the crew members is suppressed to the limit, the filming of The Matrix will face the unknown future. "

Although at the end of this report, it didn't specifically say what the unknowable future is, but everyone who reads here understands what the editor means. It is nothing more than the permanent death of the Matrix, and the loss of the opportunity to meet everyone.

Just after the crew moved to the interior of the spaceship, Zhang Dongcheng saw this report.

After reading the entire report, Zhang Dongcheng sneered. really! He knew that this Bodwin was not a good thing, he was just jealous of his talent, but he ignorantly uttered nonsense in front of the media, even slandering the members of the Yuan family class, such an approach had already exceeded the limit of Zhang Dongcheng's patience.

"Adaman!" Zhang Dongcheng put down the newspaper in his hand, and said to Adama: "Go and invite this Mr. Birdwin, and tell him that I need to find him!"

Adaman, who was checking the account books and calculating the consumption of funds, raised his head from the account books and asked blankly, "Berdwin? Who is Baldwin? Is there such a person in our crew?

It's no wonder that Adaman would ask such a question. Although there are not many actors who are really memorable in the film of The Matrix, there are absolutely many members of the crew.

Besides, the crew has just started filming, so it's not surprising that many people are not familiar with it.

"Yes! He is a member of our film crew!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded, holding the newspaper of Los Angeles media information between his fingers, and handed it to Adaman: "You read this report first. I think you will understand my Why are you looking for him!"

Adaman took the newspaper from Zhang Dongcheng's hand without knowing why, and read it carefully. Only halfway through, he jumped up angrily. "Oh! ****! This guy is slander, this is slander! This damn bastard dares to talk nonsense in front of reporters!"

"Okay! Adaman, calm down!" Zhang Dongcheng waved his hands indifferently, and said, "Don't get excited, okay? This kind of report is only from this media, and other people are optimistic about us! Besides , I remember this newspaper, he seemed to be against us from the very beginning, even if the popularity of the mummy was released, it didn't make the newspaper change its mind, so it's not worth being angry!"

"Okay!" Adaman took a deep breath, his dark face was full of anger, and said, "I'm going to find this Baldwin now! Smith, I think this kind of person should just kick him out." It's better to be a crew. It doesn't matter even if you pay liquidated damages!"

Zhang Dongcheng shrugged, and said indifferently: "I think so too!"

The filming system in Hollywood is quite standardized now, even an unremarkable person in the crew still has to sign a contract with the other party. This is why Adaman said the word liquidated damages.

However, the liquidated damages for such contracts are relatively small, at most equivalent to one month's salary of ordinary American office workers.

Not long after Adaman left, he brought the red-faced Baldwin to Zhang Dongcheng's office.

Because this is the shooting location, Zhang Dongcheng's current temporary office location is very simple.

"Mr. Birdwin, I hope you can read the report in this newspaper!" Zhang Dongcheng said with a look at Birdwin with a different kind of deep meaning in his eyes.

Baldwin is still immersed in the pleasure of finally enjoying being interviewed again, and blankly took the newspaper from Zhang Dongcheng. Like Adaman, his hands started shaking when he saw halfway through. There was cold sweat on his cheeks, and he felt guilty.

"Director...director, I..." Baldwin's face was pale, anxiously thinking about the reasons for his defense.

"You don't need to say anything, Mr. Baldwin. I think our crew may not be able to cooperate with you anymore! We have decided to give up the employment contract with you. As for the liquidated damages, you can ask Mr. Adaman to collect them. But we reserve the right to sue you for defamation!" Zhang Dongcheng's expression was unusually serious.

The crew members have always been friendly, but that doesn't mean that Zhang Dongcheng has no anger. Facing such a person, he can only wave his hand domineeringly and tell him to get out!
