Chapter 522
The manager’s expression was a little ferocious. Laura swept the things on the dressing table, and with a clang, all kinds of cosmetics and styling things were pushed to the ground. The powder box was broken, and the fine powder floated out, covering her feet.
She shook her feet in disgust and lifted her skirt.
send that damn Chinese woman away. She’s definitely going to make a move on me!
When Jiang se was shooting the ‘burning people’ scene, Laura had pulled some strings and caused serious consequences. Jiang se had been covering her face and head for the past few days. Coupled with the rumors from the production crew, Laura was even more convinced that she had destroyed Jiang SE’s face.
Her gloating from a few days ago turned into apprehension when she learned that Jiang se would not be leaving mordena for the time being. In fact, she would be staying in Italy for a while.
In particular, Jiang SE’s gaze made her look as if she wanted to take revenge. This made her even more worried.
“I can’t act as Jack in today’s scene!” She couldn’t get rid of the powder on her feet, so she angrily took it off and threw it at the dressing table.
Her shoe hit the mirror and landed on the dressing table. Her face was red in the mirror.
this Huaxia woman wants to take revenge on me. Did you see that? she’s going to ruin my face in today’s scene!
As soon as she finished speaking, her agent grabbed her arm and lifted her up in anger. Chessaray had already made it clear that the winter scenes in ” the salvation of God ” had to be filmed by February. It was already early January, but the weather and equipment had caused the filming to be unsuccessful and had been delayed. If Laura said that she would not film for a day, even if it would not delay the progress of the crew, chessaray would still vent all the anger that had accumulated during this period on her!
if you anger chessaray and get kicked out of the crew, I don’t think you can handle Mr. Smith’s anger when you go back!
“No matter what happens today, you have to get your spirits up for this scene.” As Jack said this, he started to curse,
“I already warned you not to play pranks on her. I thought you learned your lesson on the first day!”
On the first day of filming, Laura had brought humiliation upon herself. This proved that Jiang se was not someone to be trifled with. Yet, Laura still insisted on provoking her. She had not done anything yet, but she was already greatly affected. If this went on, she would not be able to calm down and focus on filming.
“Listen to me,” The agent took a deep breath and gestured for Laura to take a deep breath with him and try to calm down.
because of what you did earlier, we have to be more careful with her. That’s why we checked the fire extinguisher, protective clothing, and the fire oil carefully. We won’t give her any chance. You should trust me.
Laura quickly recalled that on the day of Jiang SE’s shoot, her manager had checked the recording equipment and equipment multiple times. However, she had still found a loophole in the end.
“She’s a friend of chessaray’s. Perhaps chessaray kept her here so that she could take revenge. We can’t take any risks, Jack. I think I should find a substitute to help me complete this scene.”
When she said this, she seemed to have found an excellent solution, as if she had been relieved of a burden.
The movie took a full three days to prepare for this shooting.
If Shireen’s death was the prologue to Andre’s opening of the door of desire, then this scene would be the key point to the entire “God’s salvation “, and Chesare was very concerned about it.
The shooting time was set after nine O ‘clock in the evening, and the crew members had started to set up the scene since the morning. The ice and snow, the Cliff Trail, the props, and the cameras were all in place. Chessaray checked again and again to make sure that everything was safe. However, Laura’s side sent a message that she was not feeling well today and could not shoot. They hoped to use a stand-in to complete the special scenes.
Laura’s assistant came over and explained the situation. She thought that she would be met with chessaray’s thunderous anger. However, chessaray only sneered and said, ”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to use a substitute for today’s scene.”
Everyone in the crew was ready, but Laura was not.
since the start of filming, everyone in the crew has been filming in cold weather. Brown isn’t feeling well. There’s a doctor in the crew, and we can contact an ambulance at any time.”
If chessaray was furious, the assistant could still bear with it. But now that he was holding back his anger, the assistant had nothing to say.
It was almost eight o ‘clock in the evening before Laura put on her protective suit. There was still more than an hour before the shooting. If they were delayed, today’s shooting plan would be delayed again.
The situation was at a standstill. Jiang se sat on the side and watched Jack and chessaray’s anxious conversation. She held back the smile on her face.
As Laura’s agent spoke to Chesare, she kept biting the corner of her mouth. Occasionally, she would glance at Jiang se with a helpless expression.
On the surface, Jiang se was Reading ” the prisoner “. However, she was also paying attention to Jack and chessaray’s direction. She pricked up her ears and tried her best to catch their conversation.
“Mr. Chessley, I know this is very difficult for you, but please believe me. Laura didn’t do this on purpose. She’s just very sensitive to fire. I hope you can understand.”
Jack’s words didn’t soften chessaray’s attitude. He was very unyielding, and after hearing Jack’s words, his tone revealed undisguised ridicule.
“Oh, really?” He asked in return, ” I thought that Miss Brown had already read this question in the script that we passed to her. The character she played ‘died’ from the sacrifice and was swallowed by the fire. Did the staff make a mistake and deliberately cut out this important part of Miss Laura’s script? ”
“Of course there’s no Qianqian.”
Jack’s expression was a little awkward, and he reluctantly said, ”
but I think there’s a clause in the contract between us that Laura can use a substitute under special circumstances. Sir, I don’t think this is against the principle, right? ”
yes, but as you know, this is under special circumstances. In fact, I don’t think that these circumstances are special.
Chessaray’s expression was already very impatient. before this scene was shot, there were other actors in the crew who had also shot this scene. At this point, chessaray turned and glanced at Jiang se.
“So, what other questions do you have?”
Jack helplessly spread out his palms and made a submissive gesture.
Okay, okay, I’ll talk to Laura again.
He turned around and left in a somewhat dispirited manner. Ten minutes later, he came out of the dressing room again with Laura by his side. He was dejected, and it was obvious that the communication with Laura this time had not gone smoothly.
When Laura came out, the crew’s atmosphere was tense. Chesare was sitting on a chair while Jiang se was sitting among the crew. Her manager and assistant were not beside her. When Laura’s gaze fell on her, she gritted her teeth and glared at her for a long time before she looked away.
Mr. Chessaray, I’m very sorry, but I still hope that you can allow me to use a body double to finish this scene.
Chessaray slowly turned his head around with a stern look on his face. Laura was a little uneasy, but she still expressed her wish, ”
I know that the crew had already shot the scene of ‘burning people’ earlier, and the actress did not use a double, but it was precisely because of this that she was injured, wasn’t it? ”
She took a deep breath. The prop manager saw chessaray’s expression and quickly came over to explain, ”
Miss Brown, when miss Jiang was shooting Shireen’s scene, it was actually an accident, and her injury was not that serious. After the incident, the doctor on the crew also dealt with it. If it’s not suitable for another shoot, I think director Chesare will definitely find another way to deal with it.
The pyrotechnician continued, ”
besides, we’ve learned our lesson. Protective clothing, heatproof clothes, fire proof oil, and so on have been checked again, and there are absolutely no problems. I guarantee that the accident last time will not happen again. We will even follow the procedure, and the fire will not even burn a hair of yours.
It was difficult for Laura to be at ease with such a guarantee, especially when Jiang se was sitting at the side with an ambiguous smile. The malicious intent in her eyes made Laura even more worried. This made her even more resistant to the upcoming scene.
...
No matter what the crew said, she insisted on not shooting this scene and promised to work harder in every subsequent scene.
“I know the terms in the contract. Jack has explained it to me very clearly, but I think there are always exceptions to many things. Not everything needs to follow the rules.”
She pointed at Jiang se.
for example, a person who has finished filming all his scenes should have left the crew, but he is still sitting there perfectly fine.
Everyone in the production crew could see that Laura was picking on Jiang se.
In fact, many people in the production team had heard about the conflict between her and Jiang se. On the day of filming, one of the investors, Carlo, was in charge of Laura’s project. The embarrassing incident in front of Borgia had been privately discussed by many, but the two female stars at least maintained a calm appearance and did not fall out in public or cause a scandal.
Laura’s words made some of them feel rather awkward. As Laura pointed her finger at them, the people nearby turned to look at Jiang se. Jiang se was holding a novel. Before she could say anything, chessaray laughed and said, ”
as an actress, I’ve already finished shooting Shireen’s part. But as a friend, I welcome her here.
His smile slowly disappeared, and his eyes became sharp.
Miss Brown, didn’t your agent tell you that there are no exceptions here? I am the rule? ”
The atmosphere became a little stiff because of chessaray’s words. Jack was a little embarrassed. He picked up his phone several times, trying to find a middleman to comfort chessaray and ease the atmosphere.
...
He found the Assistant Director appointed by the zhonghuan Island Company and asked him to speak up for him in a low voice. After a brief discussion, Jiang se noticed the vibration of a cell phone in the pocket of chessaray’s assistant.
The crowd was so engrossed in their argument that they did not notice Jiang se calling out his name in a hushed voice. After she caught his attention, she pointed at his pocket and made a gesture of answering a phone.
The assistant came to a sudden realization. He opened his mouth and silently thanked Jiang se. He picked up the phone and walked away. Very quickly, he returned to chessaray’s side.
“It’s Mr. Borgia,”
Chessaray made a hand gesture to stop the conversation, picked up his phone, and walked to the corner.
The expression on his face was not good. It was obvious that the conversation with the person in charge of the investors on the other end of the phone was not pleasant.
From the content of their discussion, Jiang se could roughly tell where the main point of their conflict was.
A few days ago, when Jiang se was shooting the scene of ” burning people “, Laura had attacked her and caused her to be ” severely burned “. Therefore, Jiang se did not leave the set as Shireen had wished after she was done with all her scenes. Instead, she stayed behind and waited for Shireen to shoot the scene of ” burning people ” as well. Naturally, she was worried that Jiang se would ” take revenge ” on her and tamper with the scene. Therefore, she rejected the filming of this scene. He also requested for a body double to be used in this scene.
However, chessaray rejected her proposal. In order to shoot such a special scene, apart from the actors, who needed to be brave, the stunt double also needed to have a strong psychological quality.
This Hollywood sweetheart was extremely resistant to the ‘fire’ scene. Even if she had a stand-in that looked similar to her, she still looked worried.
The crew had professional male stuntmen, and there were also small and thin ones, but the figures of men and women could be distinguished even from their backs.
Especially under such special shooting conditions, which required wearing heat-resistant clothes, the requirements for the actor’s figure were even more strict.
As the female lead, in order to fit Lannie’s character in ” the salvation of God, ” chessley made her lose 15 pounds at the beginning of the film so that her image would be more in line with Lannie’s slender and weak appearance in the original film. At the same time, her figure was very different from that of the men.
Even if the shooting was done at night, with the cover of the night and post-editing, it would still be difficult to escape the sharp eyes of the film Critics and the picky audience after the film was released. It was impossible for Chesare to make concessions for the sake of Laura’s fear.
His attitude was very unyielding. Even when the investors called to explain the situation, he still had no intention of moving.
At that moment, Jiang se was sitting in a corner. Brown’s malicious teasing made her heart beat like a drum. No one knew how anxious she was under her calm appearance. Laura refused to shoot the ” fire ” scene and chessaray’s persistence on the substitute gave her a vague opportunity. It was as if a half-closed door was slowly opening up in front of her. She could step forward to push it open, or step back to close it tightly.
In Jiang SE’s mind, she did not even need to think about how to choose.
She tidied her collar and licked her lips. She put down the script in her hand and stood up.
I think, if Miss Brown can’t find a suitable substitute, I think I might be able to.
