There are currently two empty seats on the conference table.
The director's seat.
The first left hand position.
One is Ashley's.
One belongs to Xia Yu.
Daniel and Edric, the lead actor, sit in the first and second positions on the right, and Daniel sits in the second place.
The locations are arranged according to the movie series.
Daniel had no dissatisfaction with not being able to cast the male lead.
Since it was arranged by Xia Yu, Ashley and other senior officials, in Daniel's opinion, it was the best decision!
Xia Yu is the acting director.
Perhaps among everyone, except Meng Dong who believed in Xia Yu unconditionally, Daniel was the only one who kept looking forward to it.
Because in his eyes, Xia Yu can do almost anything, be it an actor, screenwriter, songwriter, singer...
Is it any wonder that there is another director? She is so good in her own right, isn’t she?
Only when Xia Yu arrived did Daniel smile.
He felt the atmosphere of this cast and crew, which had to be said to be far worse than the actors of "Twilight".
These actors may appear to be plain and friendly, but underneath they exude aloofness and arrogance.
Maybe Ashley, Xia Yu and the others couldn't feel it - they were standing at a higher position, so they might not be able to feel the clinging behavior of the actor group. But Daniel and Meng Dong felt it for real.
Why do you have a arrogant attitude and attitude?
Just because they are actors from Mindli Films?
Maybe?
Xia Yu would normally sit in the first seat on the left hand side, but today, she calmly took the main seat.
After sitting down, it was almost seven o'clock.
Xia Yu's eyes fell on everyone's faces, looking around.
About thirty seconds later, a smile appeared on her calm and unruffled face.
He clapped his hands to remind everyone.
"I think everyone should have received the news that Director Ashley is ill. It was an accident. In the next week, I will take over Director Ashley's work, stand in the director's position, and work with you for a week.
…”
When he said this, Xia Yu suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes fell on the lower right corner of the conference table, a middle-aged actor with medium beige hair, a vicissitudes of life, and a stubble on his face - actor Sam.
Boyd.
Apart from Xia Yu, the entire cast of "The Hunger Games Part 1" is by far the most accomplished actor.
Although she is only a second-tier actress, she is still a second-tier actress in Hollywood. She was once half-stepped into the first-tier ranks of Hollywood.
He is also a veteran actor of Mindli Films.
It is not comparable to Xia Yu, a third-tier or even eighteenth-tier actor in Hollywood.
Sam Boyd has been with Mindeli Films for fifteen years and has contributed his best acting skills and works to Mindeli Films - he has been nominated for multiple Oscars, Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor and Supporting Actor.
He has also been unable to win any awards, has never had a popular role, and has never been able to get a front-line position in Hollywood.
He is also not only an actor, but also a middle-level employee of Mindli Films, a well-known producer of Mindley Films, and has a wide network of contacts. Even James' status in Mindley Films is far inferior to that of Sam Boyd.
He is completely confident and arrogant.
Facing Ashley, he must be convinced, because Ashley's "Secrets of the Werewolf" is exciting and excellent.
But for Xia Yu, he despises Easterners from the bottom of his heart - he is even an extreme irritant...
For the top management of Mindli Pictures, they are undoubtedly happy to have such an extreme and irritating middle-level actor and producer.
Due to Sam Boyd's character, he had more than one conflict with Victoria and Alexander's actors and crew on the set - which forced him to rely on Minderee Films to survive.
For this actor, who is extremely professional in his acting skills, but lacks basic skills and is arrogant, the top management of Mindli Pictures happily supports him - allowing him to continue to establish a reputation among other film industries in his actor group.
Hate value.
And Sam Boyd must have a very high prestige among the actors and middle- and low-level staff of Mindli Films.
This time, the top management of Mindeli Pictures arranged for him to come over, just to divide the influence of the bankrupt sisters on the actors of Mindeli Films.
The filming of "Twilight Series" went smoothly, which caused a 360-degree reversal in the reputation of the actors in the Twilight crew. It set off a big storm among the Mindli Films actor group - you say, this made Mindley
What about the film industry?
I, Mindeli Pictures, invested in you, arranged personnel, and cut off two live-action studios, directors, actors, and crew - but you came to take advantage of the situation?
When the top management decided to send a thorn like Sam Boyd.
Amanda also acquiesced.
She is looking forward to continued cooperation with the bankrupt sisters, but she also doesn’t want to be the main customer.
Although, in fact... this is already the case!
During the filming and release of the movie, especially the loopholes in the gambling agreement, old Chet Hanks had expressed dissatisfaction to her many times, but Amanda could not withstand all the pressure and had no choice but to withdraw.
And for the second time, I agreed.
This is a piece of advice from the top management of Mindli Pictures to the "partners" of the bankrupt sisters.
You are just the cooperating Party B, don't push yourself too far.
Xia Yu knows the scruples of Mindli Pictures. Xia Yu has no control over the attitude of the actors they work with. She has never thought about poaching Mindli Pictures. The actors her bankrupt sisters really want to train are
The target group has always been Chinese people.
She smiled slightly.
"Mr. Sam Boyd, could you please stop tapping on your laptop for a moment? I know you have a very valid reason for doing so - but could you please stop for a moment? It's meeting time."
Sam Boyd raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yu, but the work in his hands did not stop. He forced out an ugly smile - it was not that his face was ugly, but it was really ugly. Smiling was uglier than crying, mainly because it was greasy.
He said, "Ms. Xia Yu, you can continue your meeting. I think my keyboard sound is very quiet and won't disturb you?"
Very stubborn.
This is Xia Yu’s first evaluation of Sam Boyd.
The remaining fourteen actors present looked at each other in different ways, and they all felt moved.
For a moment, I didn't know whether it was better to look at Xia Yu or Sam Boyd. I even thought that Xia Yu would get angry at this moment.
If Ashley were present, Sam Boyd would never be so "presumptuous".
Ashley's reputation as a tyrant on set is not something she deserves.
Sam Boyd originally didn't want to trouble the crew so early.
Isn’t this an opportunity to be delivered to your door?
The corner of his eye fell on Xia Yu's beautiful face, and a winning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As for Xia Yu's attack, is he afraid?
He is a professional when it comes to acting - unless he seeks death, Xia Yu will not have a chance.
