Chapter 020 The Great Dictator

“It’s hard to say that it means—”

Facing Charlize's problem, Charlotte smiled bitterly,

"He is a typical Hollywood man. If he has the chance, he will definitely not let it go. But he is not the kind of person who will be blinded by his lower body, and this is his first time as a director..."

"So the key depends on how much he pays attention to this opportunity to direct independently and how serious he is, right?"

Charlize understood what Charlotte meant.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this too much! After all, even if there are big names who want to take the opportunity to hunt, the heroine will be the one who aims first. You are a little overly self-aware."

Charlotte comforted Charlize in his unique way, and the blonde girl agreed with him:

"Indeed, they may not even be able to see small people like me, but the other way around is possible..."

"You mean it's more unscrupulous because you're facing small people?"

Charlotte couldn't help but feel a headache.

"This possibility does exist. In fact, in this kind of low-cost horror film, the real power figures in the crew are second only to those independent art films. There is no way, whether it is a loss or a profit, the influence is limited. The upper level of the production company does not pay attention to it at all, which gives the middle level who controls the crew the opportunity to do it. For real big-produced commercial films, because they involve too many interests and are checking and balanced, there are fewer destructive things. In short, adapt to the situation!"

In the end, Charlotte can only give this method that is not a solution.

"Say it, Sally, although I don't really appreciate it, I honestly want to be honest in Hollywood, there are so many actresses who are willing to unbutton when facing opportunities, even Julia Roberts is no exception. Why are you persisting like this in this regard?"

Charlotte knew that his problem was a bastard, but he still couldn't help asking. After a while of getting along, he had confirmed that Charlize, the blonde girl sitting on the carpet, was indeed the same person as the later star Theron. Although such a beauty with the potential to become a big star, he saved her, but he was not a charming handsome guy, nor was he a real power figure. However, although the other party's recent behavior was not obvious, it did have the intention of deliberately bringing the two closer together. Why is this?

Charlotte doesn't believe in love at first sight. He is already past the age of believing in fairy tales. Moreover, if she really falls in love at first sight or is grateful, she could have expressed her feelings as soon as she finished exorcizing Charlize. Why did this feeling become obvious after meeting again?

He is not a suspicious person, but when faced with Charlize's unusual performance among women in Hollywood, he always feels unreal. Is he really persisting or acting skills, and actually having other plans? Charlotte thinks now is an opportunity to figure it out.

"Why is this persistence for?"

The blonde girl didn't seem to notice Charlotte's intentions, her eyes were blurred, and she seemed to be trapped in memories.

"Actually, I have asked myself this question more than once. To be honest, I have never gotten an answer. Maybe it's just pride! Although reality will eventually break our pride and mix our self-esteem and step into the mud together, if possible, I still hope to persist for a longer time."

"...Okay, I wish you can stick to the day of success!"

Although it was not the answer he wanted, Charlotte felt that there was no need to go deeper. After all, let alone the truth, if it was acting, Charlize could do this level, so he could perform at this level. If you ask again, there would be no other result except to add embarrassment.

——Anyway, people’s hearts will be understood sooner or later.

Charlotte nodded and pulled the topic back again.

"Although I am not a big shot in the crew, I can still say something. If there is anything, I will help."

******************

"What kind of big shot do you think you are actually pointing fingers at my script!!"

Although Charlotte told Charlize last night that he was not a big shot in the new crew, he realized at the next day that he was not the only one who was not a big shot in the crew. Or, there was only one big shot in the crew-

"You are just a piece of shit sent by the new line company to assist you. You just need to do what the shit needs to do - stay there and do nothing, and get smelly! Or let me get rid of you!!"

Although according to industry rules, the producer of the new film, Anthony Westwood, should have at least no less than the director in the crew, the current situation is that director Alan B. Mike Aeroy is pointing at his nose and scolding him bloodily. The poor producer can only smile on his face and fuck him.

"Allen, Allen, don't be excited! I just feel that compared to the scene requirements in the script, our budget seems to be a bit insufficient. This doesn't seem to be a big problem, right?"

"Of course it's a big problem!"

The director looked unhappy.

"Mr. Producer, I remind you! I am Alan Mike Aeroy, not Alan Smithy who made a fictional look at you producers, please don't play with your style in my crew!"

——Allen Smithy is a producer who interferes in filming filming, which leads the director to anger and disband. He is unwilling to sign and admit that it is his work at the end of the film, and the virtual name used by producers to wipe their butts when he signs and admits that it is his work. This "big director" has many works, and many famous works such as "Dune" and "Yin and Yang Demon Realm" have been attributed to him. Director Allen now uses this name, basically pointing to the producer Westwood's nose, making him either shut up or just do it himself.

"I don't--"

Faced with this very serious accusation or provocation, Westwood did not burst out with anger like an ordinary producer, but wanted to explain. But before he could finish speaking, Allen interrupted him again:

"And, I remember that the budget funds for this movie are..."

The director pointed his thumb at his nose.

"Do you have any comments on this?"

"……there is none left."

Westwood seemed a little dejected.

——The structure of this crew is not right. The producer, who should have a very say in budget funds, was speechless when talking about money. What's going on?

Charlotte was wondering if he had gotten on the pirate ship, but saw the director who had just taken the producer to sacrifice his power to stand up:

"Gentlemen, indeed, as Mr. Westwood said, our budget is a bit tight, but this problem is not insurmountable! On the one hand, if everything goes well, new funds will be added later. On the other hand, I believe that with your abilities and experience, it is okay to make some contributions in saving money, especially Mr. Charlotte Booth, the artist responsible for the scenes and props. I'm right?"

"this……"

——Although he really wanted to answer "If you don't have money, you can make a movie", Charlotte also knew that saying this was basically not much different from directly submitting a resignation letter. Of course, he did not agree directly. After all, once he agreed, the blame would be completely taken to him.

"Of course there are ways to save money in terms of scenes and props, but this requires a specific plan to be given after the Kanjing is completed. At present, I cannot give a specific answer to whether it can be saved and how much it can be saved."

Charlotte tried hard to make a rigorous and rigid expert expression, but every department head at the meeting understood that he was actually playing tricks. Of course, this play tricks are very skillful-

The so-called "Scenery", simply put, is to check the scene to shoot to see if the ideal effect can be achieved. If the scenery is not done well before shooting, the dispatch is unreasonable, the scene is very noise, and even when shooting a historical drama, it is still a trivial matter to shoot very modern buildings such as tower cranes in the background. What's more troublesome is that many of the original scenes in the storyboard script may be completely invalid due to various problems such as angle lighting. Therefore, in the preparation stage of the film shooting, from directors to the heads of multiple departments such as lighting and video, they must participate in "Scenery" in order to have a clear idea.

Specifically, the artist Charlotte is responsible for the setting work, there are quite a few things to do when you are in the scenery. How to set the scene, what props are needed, and how to arrange the props must be confirmed in the spotlight. If you encounter a situation where the real scene shooting conditions are not met, you still need to make artificial scenery - in order not to create a scene effect that makes people feel missed at first sight, many details must be taken seriously, and they must be adapted to local conditions.

From this perspective, it is true that Charlotte must be in awesome before giving specific funding needs. Of course, experienced artists can predict a rough figure, but if you face harsh demands and use this statement similar to "discussing it later", it is indeed the only way to delay time and play tricks.

"Okay, then let's talk about this issue until we finish Kanjing!"

Director Allen of course was dissatisfied with Charlotte not agreeing directly as he hoped, but as mentioned above, he really had no choice in the face of such a stern and righteous theory.

"Then let's talk about the issue of scenic spots and casting..."
