Chapter 1280: Impatient
confusion. Hustle. noisy.
The crew was bustling and chaotic, making people restless and unable to calm down.
The idea is beautiful; but in reality, it may often encounter difficulties.
Although Anson's idea successfully solved the chaos caused by the change of the crew's plan, everything was sudden, chaos had formed, and instructions were issued, but there were still many difficulties to overcome between execution and effectiveness.
The scene was full of chicken feathers.
Things are obviously not that simple.
It can be seen at this time that James Kitcher's abilities as a producer are short of, on-site experience, overall management, personnel scheduling, etc. are all a mess. Looking at the mess in front of him, he is unable to do anything.
Then Lucas took action.
Originally, Lucas came to Memphis purely to learn from the experience——
He knew nothing about filmmaking, his expertise was close to zero, and if Forest was trying to truly carve out a niche in Hollywood, he needed to at least understand how a film crew worked.
But now, looking at the mess in front of me, it is unbearable.
It is true that Lucas knew nothing about film production; but managing a team and a project, how to plan, divide labor, and control the situation, was like eating and drinking, and there was no difficulty for Lucas.
A group of staff members were responsible for the extras. According to the shooting time, the first scene of the extras did not start until 3 p.m.
So now the extras only need to sign in and wait until lunch.
While waiting, the extras who had signed in showed their prepared 1950s costumes to the styling team to confirm that they met the requirements.
A group of staff is responsible for maintaining order on the scene, ensuring that the "amateurs" wandering around can return to their own sheep pens, and ensuring that the order of the filming scene can be returned to normal——
Clear space for crew to prepare for filming.
Just like tidying up a room, restore order, restore order.
A team of staff members were responsible for guiding onlookers, including museum visitors, to ensure they were separated from the extras and into the "auditorium area" where they were watching the filming, and that they were not wandering around aimlessly.
major.
This is the key word of the crew. Only those who have clearly defined their job responsibilities can move freely through the crew; others should move in corresponding areas to avoid disturbing order.
Three times and two times, the streets returned to normal operations. The crowds and formations all entered their own area like a jigsaw puzzle. The field of vision became clear again. The noise in the air also returned to normal levels. The crew seemed to finally be ready to invest. Officially shot.
There is no doubt that everything in front of you is brand new——
Anson has also filmed independent low-budget films before, such as "The Butterfly Effect", "Elephant", "Warm Heart", etc., but this has never happened to these crews.
So, is this because of Anson?
If Anson hadn't been willful and acted as he pleased, and the crew had gone ahead as planned, they wouldn't have been faced with the chaotic situation in front of them.
However, Lucas doesn't think so.
Anson's situation was also unexpected. Anson had already controlled the situation as much as possible within his ability. One cannot blame Anson for being willful.
What's more, even if it is really Anson's problem, there are countless similar situations in Hollywood, such as the willfulness of big-name actors, conflicts between main actors, conflicts between actors and directors, etc., and the film crew and other company projects have no essence. The difference——
Accidents and emergencies exist objectively.
The real key lies in the means of solving the problem.
Lucas felt that he was not even prepared to blame Kitcher for his weakness.
In his view, the real sticking point lies in Forest Pictures' lack of experience. They had no experience or accumulation, and they didn’t even have their own team of confidants. They started from scratch and pieced together a grassroots team; then, problems arose, and they didn’t know how to face or deal with the chaos hidden behind the crisis. It exploded completely.
The roots are here.
When a problem arises, most people tend to focus on the problem itself; only a small number of people focus on solving the problem, because in real life it is impossible not to have problems, problems will always appear, and solutions are more important than problems. is the real key.
Lucas sees the essence through the phenomenon and grasps the core of the matter.
Therefore, the problem is not terrible. They still have time and opportunity to slowly try and make mistakes. Anson has been helping to the best of his ability.
Lucas believes that Jungle Pictures will get on the right track.
The chaos lasted for less than half an hour, but it finally stabilized. Lucas took control of the situation and the crew got back on track.
However, the aftertaste lingering in the air continues to stir.
Dallas-Roberts was a little irritated.
The atmosphere on the set... was a mess.

He knew that the chaos on the crew was all an excuse, and what he was really worried about was the upcoming filming, but to be honest, the current noise and crowding of the crew made it impossible for him to calm down and prepare for today's filming.
In the movie, Dallas plays Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records and the excavator of the likes of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
This isn't Dallas' first acting role, but it's certainly his first film.
I have been working on the small screen of TV for many years, but I have never been given more opportunities. "Walking with the Song" does not seem to be a big project, but it is different because of the existence of Anson and Reese, and he will also play such an important role. It's a career breakthrough.
Dallas was nervous and excited.
But, an accident happened——
Originally, his role was not to be played until two weeks later, and he still had half a month to prepare; he even planned to go to the crew to observe the filming and gain experience, and wait for the opportunity to get along well with Anson and other actors. If everything went well, When it was his turn, he was ready.
As a result, it happened exactly two weeks in advance without any psychological preparation.
Yesterday, he received a notice that his scene would be filmed first today.
Dallas' head went into shock——
tomorrow? Less than twelve hours later?
What if he forgets his words? What if he gets stuck standing in front of the camera? What if Anson doesn't like his performance and just replaces the actor?
Dallas wanted to die.
I stayed up all night baking pancakes last night and came to the set with two dark circles under my eyes. Even before the show started, the makeup artist took a breath because of the terrible state.
Dallas had an ominous feeling that today's shoot would be a disaster.
Then, when he saw the chaos on the set, he fell into despair. Torn between anxiety and nervousness, he couldn't help but start biting his nails.
what to do? What to do, what to do, what to do?
He botched what might have been the best chance of his career, and then his first chance turned into his last, and his dreams of the big screen were shattered.
"Hey, Dallas!"
A call made Dallas almost fall down.
