Thanks to his help these days, Smith's shooting went very smoothly, saving him at least a month's time.
Of course, time is second. Smith delayed the film for nearly two years. What he valued was quality.
The footage shot so far has fully achieved Smith's ideal goal.
Without Zhou Huayang's help, Smith could not imagine what kind of disaster the footage would have been shot by relying solely on Alice's own performance and a poor animal trainer.
He even prepared a backup plan for this, which was to use expensive computer stunts and other technologies to try to make up for the flaws.
Today will be the last indoor scene, and then Alice will embark on a dream adventure with her four pets.
"Because Alice couldn't stand her parents' quarrels, she ran away from home after venting her anger..."
Zhou Huayang scanned the script carefully.
"Zhou, do you have any suggestions for the script?"
Smith on one side asked with a smile. This question alone was enough to show how much he valued Zhou Huayang.
After all, Smith's usual work style does not like others, including investors, to point fingers and interfere.
"suggestion?"
Zhou Huayang shook his head, "No, in the film field, you are the expert and have rich experience. I am a layman. Any suggestions are just a matter of practice."
Smith laughed loudly, "You are too modest."
He changed the subject, "There is another character in my script, a kind witch, with a mature and charming appearance.
"Actually, Caroline's image and acting style are quite suitable. We might consider letting her play both roles."
Zhou Huayang looked surprised. It was only last night that Caroline asked him to help her put in a good word in bed.
Before he even mentioned it, Smith took the initiative to propose giving Caroline more scenes.
Caroline's previous appearance was just as a mean neighbor, with an appearance time of no more than two minutes, and she was just a bit player.
And the latter, the witch... He read the script and found that although she would only appear once, she had enough scenes and was one of the important supporting roles.
"Hahaha, I guessed it right, did Caroline ask you to help her say something nice?
This woman's acting skills are okay, but she is very careful and has asked Bina to say nice things around me many times.
"It bored me, so I randomly arranged a supporting role for her.
"She is now turning around to please you. Is this one of her goals?
Of course, your appearance, temperament, and personality are enough to attract her."
Smith patted Zhou Huayang on the shoulder.
Zhou Huayang thought for a while, "I did mention it, but I rejected it. I don't like to mix some interests in a pure relationship."
Smith thought thoughtfully, "Then what do you mean now?"
"If Mr. Smith is not embarrassed, then let her do whatever she wants, provided that she does meet your requirements."
Zhou Huayang pondered for two seconds.
"Okay, I'll ask my assistant to contact her later."
The matter was settled just like that.
Caroline, who didn't know anything about it, would probably think that Zhou Hua helped her win the opportunity with his hard words and soft heart.
When we first arrived at the set, the staff and actors were all preparing.
Kennason arrived belatedly and came to Zhou Huayang's side.
"Zhou, a woman contacted me this morning, calling herself Sally. She is the woman you met at the Rose Club and had a drink with you."
"Sally?"
He didn't know many people when he came to country M, but Zhou Huayang clearly remembered the twin sisters.
But, how did she find Kennerson?
Is your charm so great?
Let the other party try their best to contact you?
"Yes, she said she wanted to contact you and wanted to confirm something with you."
Kennerson handed over the phone and showed a phone number, "This is her phone number."
Zhou Huayang nodded and wrote down the phone number, "Sorry to trouble you, Kennason."
Kennerson was flattered and his eyes were a bit adoring. He had heard some rough things about Zhou Huayang after he entered the Wesson Building from his friends in the Wesson Brotherhood.
It seems that Zhou Huayang acted alone. Not only did he not beg for mercy from the Raul brothers, but he also used strong methods to scare the Raul brothers from attacking the twin sisters.
After Kennelson left, Zhou Huayang found a break, came to the door, and called Sally.
Before Zhou Huayang could introduce himself, the other party's voice was clear and unique. He took the lead in guessing and asked in surprise: "Zhou?"
Are you Zhou?"
On the phone, in addition to Sally's voice, there was also the cheering of her sister Zhu Vi.
"Finally found you."
"Um...you seem to be in a hurry to find me?"
Zhou Huayang became more and more confused, but he was certain that the two sisters were definitely not looking for him to renew their relationship.
"It's like this. A few days ago, after the Wesson Brothers blocked us, they suddenly took out a box of US dollars, a full one million US dollars, and insisted on forcing it on us, but we didn't dare to take it.
"After that, Raul and Noel came to our house again, explained the reason in detail, and left a box of US dollars... Only then did we know that you saved us.
"And that box of money was left at our house. You deserve this money, so we tried every means and contacted some well-informed people. It took us several days to find the driver's phone number..."
Sally's voice was urgent and grateful.
Although the Wesson Brotherhood was targeting them, they were the ones who were implicated.
But they had only met each other once, and somehow they used some method to make the Raul brothers not only dare not take action, but also pay unnecessary compensation.
This is the notorious brotherhood in the Evernight City. They have never heard of anyone who can make them so afraid.
Zhou Huayang suddenly understood and shook his head, "Forget about the money. If you want it, just keep it for yourself. If you are not short of money, then donate it to a charity in country M for me."
He doesn't even bother asking for this kind of dirty money.
"What...this is a million dollars."
Sally exclaimed, for ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Even though Sally's parents, who run a factory, have worked hard for most of their lives, their net worth is only eight to nine million US dollars.
Seeing that Zhou Huayang did not answer.
Sally thought for a while, "Okay, do as you wish. We will carefully select suitable and trustworthy charitable organizations and donate the money to them."
I thought the matter was over.
Zhu Bi shouted: "Zhou, are you still in the city that never sleeps?
We have to thank you in person."
"Yes, yes, when are you free?"
Sally echoed.
Zhou Huayang scratched his head, "I'm working in California now, following the crew. I may go somewhere else in the past two days."
"ah?"
Sally was suddenly curious, "Are you an actor?"
"That's not true, some of my pets are actors."
"No way, pet actor?
Can your pet be in a movie?"
Seeing that Zhou Huayang was not in a hurry, the two sisters were like curious babies, asking questions.
Until they learned that Zhou Huayang's pet was the protagonist of Director Smith's new movie, the two were shocked. They asked questions one after another, and they wanted to know more about Zhou Huayang and what the origin of this Chinese man was.
