168 - The Director's Dream
In fact, the situation Luke Simmons encountered was the most normal crew structure in Hollywood. He also knew in his heart that he had persisted until the end of the filming for his dream of director.
What happened later became even simpler. Although he participated in the editing of the film, the producer was still the one who made the decision, and the advice rights he had were not much different from farting.
When the film was finally produced, no matter how different it was from what you thought, at least the name Luke Simmons appeared on the director column, and the production company obviously needed this name.
All of them were skipped in the theater market. As soon as the release of "The Joker" caused a sensation in North America, this horror film called "Blood Night Back" was directly hairstyled.
In the end, the producer made money and Luke Simmons was not sure, but it was likely that he made a lot of money. However, for the sake of this horror film, he lost the opportunity to participate in the great movie "The Joker".
Look at Zach Schneider now. As one of the important members of the director team, she has basically made the whole Hollywood recognize its abilities. These should have been Luke Simmons's, but he gave up on them himself.
Since "The Joker" began to crush the world's film market, and to the continuing social discussions across North America, the media has been singing praises for films and directors all the time.
This also made the agent Glenn Robertson advise his clients more and more frequently. In fact, Luke Simmons felt that the more brilliant the achievements the film created, the less shameful he would be to meet his junior who was thrown away by him.
After all, he couldn't stand the words of the agent, if you want a face, don't want a Hollywood career. He drove to the manor early in the morning. The security guard here was very familiar with him, and successfully let him enter the manor and helped inform the butler Hela.
"This is your last chance, Luke!" After sitting in the living room, he began to mumble quietly, reminding himself that he must give up the most useless face in Hollywood.
After doing this directorial work, he understood a lot. With his not strong personality and memories of almost being crushed in the face of millions of dollars, it turned out that the position of the assistant director was the most suitable for him.
With Wayne withstands all the damn pressure from all aspects and arranges all work plans, what he has to do is very simple, just concrete work...
"Luke."
As soon as he came out of the dining room, Wayne saw the senior sitting nervously on the sofa, walked over and gave him a hug.
If you only look at the appearance, the seniors at this time were no different from the first time they met. Although the suit was neat, it was full of wrinkles. It was obviously not changed for a long time. The hair should not be enough to take care of it carefully, and there were two dark circles on their faces.
"Wayne, I..."
After the two sat down, Luke Simmons's words became heavy. He gritted his teeth and said directly: "Damn it, I messed up! I came here just to ask if you still lack an assistant director and want to come back to work!"
Is this a sleepy person giving me a pillow? Wayne really thought so at this moment. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be very busy after the new project is started. He must not only focus on the preparations on the side, but also prepare to quickly shoot that horror movie.
With Luke Simmons, an associate director who cooperates with him, he can free most of his new film preparations. With Zach Schneider's stare similar to his ideas in the filming, he will definitely give him time to improve more plans.
"Hey, hey, Luke!" From the time the other party said these words, Wayne found that his senior brother's face had turned red, which obviously made him feel very embarrassed.
"Listen, we have the same teacher, we cooperate very well, and I also know your abilities very well! I am very happy that you can come back."
After patting his senior brother's arm, Wayne continued, "Go back and wait for news. I will contact you to start working in a while. By the way, you can go back and rent a videotape from "The Joker's Return" for 90 years. Well, there is also a complete set of DC comics."
“Why?”
Things went well beyond Luke's own imagination, but what the hell is the videotape of "The Joker" and DC Comics? The relationship between the two? "Okay, I'll buy it when I go back, that's it!"
After staring at his senior brother's back, Wayne waved to his assistant and said, "You can ask someone in the afternoon for what's going on. If he is short of money in the past few months, help him in your name."
After saying that, I returned to the upper floor and prepared to slowly build the framework of the new project in the past two days.
The little assistant's mouth was raised, this was the best side of Wayne, nostalgic! As long as it was his own person, even if he had left, he would be willing to help.
With his boss's current position in the circle, it is absolutely not as easy to join his creative team. Being able to enter this creative team is now a shortcut recognized by all the people behind the scenes.
But these things seem very difficult for outsiders, but Luke Simmons only needs one sentence to come back. There are not many people like this, and only a few people who worked with Wayne when he was down and out at the beginning. Naomi Watts may be the most special one.
As Wayne's closest assistant, Nina understands that it is very difficult for him to easily enter his boss's heart and be regarded as his own person. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer such people. But as long as he is his own person, he will be very nostalgic.
Two days later, Wayne brought the security and assistant lady with the air ticket booked in advance to Los Angeles International Airport, preparing to start his own road trip to Australia.
Traveling to Australia, which has been suppressed for more than three years, was finally on the right track. He rejected Naomi Watts' farm plan and went to Australia, and then went on a farm vacation and hunting. If this is the case, wouldn't it be better to go home to accompany Old Greenberg?
What does Wayne want to experience most during this season in Australia? Of course, it is a self-driving tour on the Great Ocean Road. He is not interested in kangaroos, hunting, and farm life, but just wants to relax and run on the road.
Naomi Watts had already booked a hotel in Sydney and prepared a car. But as soon as he arrived at the airport, he encountered a small trouble. The family of seven was Chinese, and the elderly should be the first generation immigrants, so the whole family went to Australia for a self-guided trip.
I didn't think it was anything, but I saw that the complexion was very friendly, but Wayne glanced at their entry order and knew that something would happen. Under the confused eyes of the assistant and the security guard, he did not go around and enter the VIP channel, but followed behind the family.
At present, only two girls in these seven people have good English. Apart from those two girls, the remaining five people are all on the registration form, and they fill in no, and there are no in one row! Only two girls have declared 8,000 Australian dollars.
These first generation immigrants should not come out in Chinese gathering areas. They usually use Cantonese communication. California is a large immigration state, so there are many such situations.
As expected, as Wayne expected, they were stopped by customs officers before entering the customs and asked them in English with an Australian accent. Why are there only two girls in seven of them carrying money? The remaining five adults do not bring money? This is illogical.
The two little girls spoke American English to the Australian accents of Shanghai customs personnel. The more they were like this, the more they became, the more they were, and they couldn't understand why the whole family's money was put on themselves.
"Nina, go and do a favor." Wayne had already thought of this situation, and he was sure that this family would not be able to enter the level today, and there might be other troubles. Some things are very unfamiliar to this generation of immigrants.
Although the little assistant didn't understand why he wanted to help, he shrugged and walked over, helping to translate until the family was willing to undergo customs inspection.
Just like Wayne imagined, several elderly people with poor English took out different amounts of Australian dollars and US dollars, and the hidden places were simply incredible.
This behavior was beyond the reach of customs personnel, so they immediately became nervous and waved to call three staff members to take the person away for inspection.
At this time, Wayne shook his head helplessly, walked over and began to explain. The two underage girls were about to cry in a hurry, and the elderly were still not sure what was going on.
This kind of thing happens to Chinese people. Because of different living habits, many elderly people have the habit of hiding money from afar, although most foreigners cannot understand it. After immigrating, they may never leave the Chinese area for the rest of their lives.
Most of these families who have been struggling for decades are not short of money. Hiding money is just their habit, which makes people feel safe.
Wayne didn't have much contact with several elderly people, so he walked into the passage and prepared to start boarding and take off. They may face some punishments in the future, but at most it would be a small fine. It can be seen that this family is not short of money.
Sydney should be Australia's largest city and port. Wayne's biggest impression of this place may be that white opera house.
The hotel booked by Naomi Watts is very good, but its name is the resort. When Wayne stood on the balcony and looked at the beach, he couldn't help but sigh. "This is really a paradise for men!"
"What? Do you want to try it?" Help Wayne put his suitcase in place, Naomi Watts pointed at the beach 200 meters in front of the hotel.
There is a celestial beach. Although I can't see clearly, I can still tell the sunbathing people, all of which are clean and naked.
"Forget it, going out with you should attract onlookers, right?" Now Naomi Watts' fame in Australia will definitely attract onlookers. Wayne doesn't want to come out to play and is disturbed. "And, why don't we do something more interesting? Naomi!"
