Chapter 599: The ugly words come first (6 updates·Please vote for me)
To use an old Chinese saying, Ashley is actually a candid director who likes to say ugly things first and doesn't like to say a bunch of fake things.
If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry, if something happens later, you think it's Ashley who didn't tell you.
If you still make mistakes after stressing them over and over again, then don't blame Ashley for being unreasonable.
So these words are nothing to Xia Yu and the others who are acquaintances. "It's normal, isn't it?"
But what fell into the ears of the staff and actors was a very harsh and intimidating speech.
But who dares to refute the words of "Ashley, the tyrant on the set"? Even if he is muttering in his heart, maybe he is cursing her viciously, but who is stupid enough to show his anger and dissatisfaction on his face?
That's really stupid.
The salary offered by Mindli Pictures is indeed good. If the filming of "Twilight" can be completed smoothly, you can get double the salary when the "Twilight" movie is released. This year, for some actors, even
If I can’t get any other roles, I’ll almost have enough money.
The same goes for the rest of the staff - and Ashley and the others may not know each other well, but James is familiar with many staff members, and they know his character quite well. If they can let James follow him, this day should be good.
It won't be too sad.
The most uncomfortable thing is probably that you need to work overtime frequently, but as long as you can make money, it's not unacceptable?
The emphasis was still on, and I talked for about ten minutes, arranging all the things that could be arranged in advance.
Ashley added.
"I know that some of you should like drinking and dancing. I also like it, but the facilities in this small town's taverns are not good and they are not very luxurious. But I hope everyone will go to New Fox Town.
·Have a drink in the pub - Portland’s bars and discos are of course great, but if you go there tonight, you will be late for the reading tomorrow morning, and the consequences will be very serious, you understand?”
After finishing her harsh words, Ashley waved her hand and said, "You can send the script."
Previously, everyone had a script, but it was very one-sided. Even if they signed a contract, they would only play their part. Only a few leading actors, such as Antonio and Daniel, got the complete script.
The task of distributing the script was also handled by Ashley's exclusive toolman James.
After all the actors got the script, each staff member got notebooks and pens.
Ashley clapped her hands and said, "The script has been sent to everyone, and everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. I hope everyone can take good care of it - then, I wish our fourteen-day reading can be successful.
Very enjoyable, till the end?”
At this point, the reading of "Twilight" officially begins.
The first stage is still self-introduction. It is not just as simple as letting all the actors and members of each group get to know each other. The actors are for everyone to know during the reading and rehearsal stages, which actor is playing the role opposite them.
, being able to establish a good tacit understanding of performance in the reading stage will definitely make it easier to get started than waiting until the filming stage to get familiar with it.
This is also one of the purposes of reading around.
And compared with China, because actors abroad have fixed time, or in other words, they are all on an hourly basis. Generally, the filming must be completed within the specified time according to the amount of time arranged - and another meaning of the round-up is that,
Improve the efficiency of the shooting period.
There is also a reason why Ashley was evaluated as a tyrant on the set.
It’s not that she doesn’t read around.
But as a producer, director, and screenwriter, there will inevitably be moments of inspiration during the filming process, and the entire crew is supported by her and Zhuang Ling - she naturally has a lot of ideas.
If there are some unsatisfactory details, they should be corrected, and overtime should be worked. It is impossible to say that when the time comes, you will leave after you say you are off work.
The actors had objections, but it was useless, because the salary was still high, and they only paid 30% after signing the contract, and the remaining % could not be settled until the filming was completed. Moreover, she is more stubborn. If you dare to leave, I will
I dare to replace you.
One or two of the crew are newbies or extras. How could they give up after finally getting a chance?
Some people may sell their souls and bodies, let alone increase the filming time, just to get a starring role.
It can be said that "The Secret of the Werewolf" was filmed under her constant burst of new inspirations and the high pressure of shooting.
But it was precisely because of this ever-changing breakthrough that it exploded when the third episode was aired.
And several leading actors, even though the first season of "The Secret of Werewolf" has made them half famous, still endured this high pressure and gritted their teeth to film the second season of "The Secret of Werewolf". In addition to signing the contract early, more importantly
Watch this script carefully.
It wasn't until the filming of "Werewolf Secrets 2" was completed and the broadcast rights were sold that these people completely fell out with Ashley!
Ashley has also been dubbed the "tyrant on set".
It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with Ashley. After all, she did violate some regulations, did not fully fulfill the contract, and repeatedly used her privileges, but it is definitely not as outrageous as those people said.
Ashley certainly made mistakes, but they were only minor ones - without Ashley's tyrant-like harshness, these actors' acting skills would not have been able to save them. The reading content and filming content generally will not be changed, but it cannot be said that they cannot be changed.
Overtime work is also negotiable. You can resist during the filming process, you can choose to breach the contract, terminate the contract, or not shoot?
But you can't pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, and the scolding is very unpleasant.
Fortunately, Ashley didn't care. After feeling sad for a while, she became energetic again - and a little proud:
"From now on, I can train the actors more unscrupulously on the set!"
In reality?
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling exchanged glances at that time - "This old girl is holding on!"
Emotionally, if you are trying hard to support yourself, you must have been depressed. It is always regrettable that you are not recognized and recognized by others.
But in fact it is true. Just like now, no matter how harsh she says, no one dares to refute her!
With the support of bankrupt sister film and television companies and the blessing of Mindli Pictures, Ashley has no worries about running out of films.
"Tyrant on the set" What's wrong with the tyrant on the set? Strength is the last word!
On the first day of reading, I got familiar with the relationship between the characters and the roles of the actors. The content of the first day was not as urgent as Ashley said. The main thing was to get familiar with the environment and the script, because only 90% of the actors got the completion
's script.
But mentally, everyone was extremely tense, comparable to a large-scale exam.
Because Ashley's request is - after memorizing her own script, try to be familiar with other actors' scripts.
Moreover, all actors, whether they are protagonists or supporting actors, must write a biography.
The first thought of the actors was, "What, why are you making an international joke? We are just supporting actors!"
But the next sentence made them suppress all these complaints in their hearts.
"It will be completed in one week, and at that time, all those who can't be completed will be selected for inspection. Those who can't complete it will get out during the reading period so that I can replace them!"
The last sentence of Ashley, the tyrant on the set, is a bit long:
"I don't care what other crew's rules are. The "Twilight" crew, my crew - what I say are the rules, and it's your rules to obey. If you don't want to obey, get up now, go out, and take a taxi to leave."
"No one objects. The video is being recorded here. In other words, everyone agrees? I'm so happy. You guys know each other very well!"
She shrugged her shoulders and the smile on her face looked so inhumane that most of the actors couldn't help but hold their breath.
