Chapter 397 Jealousy
Another project, "Fast and Furious 2" also had a lot of troubles.
After the success of the first part, the salaries of the actors in the series have increased to varying degrees. Starring Vin Diesel also starred in "Xxx", and the film was relatively successful.
In addition, the scenes in the second film were more grand and required more production funds, so the investment in the entire film reached 90 million US dollars.
The production cost of the first film was only US$38 million.
However, this investment is actually not a particularly large investment in today's Hollywood.
Nowadays, it is common for a commercial blockbuster to cost over 100 million U.S. dollars. If it does not exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, the audience will wonder whether your film is shoddily produced to steal money.
Several beauties have also been added to the series. Amanda Seyfried and Alexandra Daddario, who auditioned for "Pirates of the Caribbean", have joined the cast to play small roles.
At the same time, these two people also participated in the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and were considered to be in the industry.
Also joining the industry is Paris Hilton, the daughter of the Hilton family, a rich second generation who also dreams of breaking into Hollywood.
But unlike David Ellison, Paris Hilton dreams of becoming a popular actor.
Her father made a phone call to little Gilbert, and Paris Hilton was thrust into the cast, playing a small role as a starting point.
Paris Hilton rushed to Mexico and finally met the rumored little Gilbert, and was very happy.
"Have you ever studied acting before?" Little Gilbert asked.
Paris Hilton shook her head and said, "No, but I participated in a theater troupe at school and had performances. I don't know if that counts?"
Little Gilbert and assistant director Anne Burton looked at each other, then shook their heads: "The stage performance experience is of little use in filming, but at least it is experience.
The script given to you should be read carefully and studied carefully.
If your performance is not good, it will not be included in the feature film.
If you don’t understand something, you can ask Anne Burton. "
Little Gilbert said, introducing Anne Burton to Paris Hilton.
Paris Hilton's eyes seemed to be sparkling: "Can I ask you?"
"Of course," little Gilbert shrugged, "but you have to be prepared to be scolded."
Paris Hilton got even more excited: "I like to be scolded, so you'd better hit me."
"???" Little Gilbert had a question mark on his head, waved his hand, and asked Paris Hilton to get ready.
"Director, we seem to have found ourselves in trouble." Anne Burton looked at Paris Hilton and said.
"It's normal." Little Gilbert was not surprised: "This kind of charming lady has been pampered since she was a child, so it's not surprising that she has some strange habits."
"That's true," agreed Anne Burton.
Many wealthy people have strange hobbies. Anne Burton has seen this so often that it is no longer strange.
Little Gilbert laughed again: "Besides, not everyone is willing to spend a million dollars to buy a character."
"That's true, it's the first time I've seen it." Anne Burton was also happy.
Speaking of which, in order to participate in this movie, Paris Hilton paid a million dollars to sponsor the crew.
Only the rich second generation can do this if they have a lot of pocket money. How can other Hollywood stars have that ability? Most of them have climbed up from the bottom step by step.
It is obvious that Paris Hilton is interested in little Gilbert, but which woman in Hollywood is not interested in little Gilbert?
However, little Gilbert was not interested in Paris Hilton. In the following days, Paris Hilton tried to seduce little Gilbert to no avail, and turned her attention to Orlando Bloom.
It happened that Orlando Bloom's girlfriend Miranda Kerr came to visit the set and saw Paris Hilton seducing Orlando Bloom.
So the two women started fighting, causing the crew to watch. At this time, little Gilbert was drinking tea and chatting with Charles Rowan in the director's lounge, discussing the next work arrangements, when an assistant director came over to report.
"Sorry, director, Paris got into a fight with Orlando Bloom's girlfriend, and it seemed serious."
Little Gilbert and Charles Rowan looked at each other, and Charles Rowan quickly asked: "What's going on?"
The assistant director said it was not clear: "It seems that Orlando Bloom's girlfriend ran into Paris seducing her boyfriend, and the two started fighting."
This is a personal grudge and a private matter. Logically speaking, the crew should not care about it and will not care about it.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing usually makes people embarrassed, so little Gilbert always stayed away from it.
But this happened within his crew, so he had to intervene.
Gilbert Jr. and Charles Rowan rushed to the scene, where crew members had separated the two fighting women.
The two women who were originally glamorous have now become like street shrews, with disheveled hair and scratches on their faces.
Both of them were unconvinced and cursed each other in the most vicious words, wishing to tear each other to pieces.
Orlando Bloom stood aside in embarrassment, like a thorn in the sky, wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Seeing little Gilbert and Charles Rowan coming over, Orlando Bloom seemed to have found a savior and rushed to greet him: "Director, I..."
Little Gilbert waved his hand to interrupt Orlando Bloom's words, and said to the two fighting women: "I don't care why you started fighting, and I don't care.
But this is my crew, everyone must abide by my rules, otherwise get out of here, do you understand? "
The great director's authority is still very strong. Although they are not convinced by each other, the two women bowed their heads: "I understand the director..."
Little Gilbert glanced at the two women and asked the assistant director to help the two women down. The scratches on Paris Hilton's face will probably take some time to recover, which delayed the filming.
Since this kind of thing was not caused by a work-related injury on the set, the actor's pay will definitely be deducted. After all, it will delay the progress of the set.
However, Paris Hilton paid to participate, so there is no reason to deduct her salary.
Little Gilbert could consider letting Paris Hilton go back home directly, accepting the money and not having to film the relevant scenes.
But little Gilbert didn't do that in the end, and the Hilton family still had to give him face.
After appeasing the two women, little Gilbert glanced at the surrounding staff who were watching the excitement and shouted: "Haven't you seen it? They are all busy, right?"
"It's gone, it's gone," Charles Rowan asked everyone to disperse, while emphasizing: "I don't want today's events to spread, so everyone should pay attention."
There is no airtight wall in the world. It is impossible not to spread the news, but at least it can be delayed for a while without delaying the crew's filming.
Everyone in the crew was in disarray and ran away in an instant.
Only then did little Gilbert have time to talk to Orlando Bloom and said: "You have to handle your personal matters well and not delay the filming of the crew.
Next time, it won't be so simple. "
Orlando Bloom nodded quickly and assured: "Don't worry, director, something like this won't happen again."
"It's best like this..." Little Gilbert said that he was quite speechless because of what happened.
After hearing about this, Johnny Depp complained: "I also want two women to fight for me. I feel so happy."
Little Gilbert expressed his support: "Yes, but it's best not to be on my crew, thank you."
Johnny Depp laughed: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
