135 Chapter 135-James Wynn (1/2)
”Bad Guy” is by far the largest crew that Lehman has controlled.
If you look at the shooting schedule and the tentative schedule, when the entire crew is at its peak and busiest, the main creator and group performers can have more than 1,000 people.
In addition, the film has two main lines, and the scene shots of each of the important characters are still inconsistent, and they must be shot separately.
According to his envisioned grouping principle, Lehman wanted to divide the play into two groups at the same time. He filmed the gangster line and the deputy director filmed the police line.
In Hollywood, there are many actors who are unhappy, and there are still many directors who lack the opportunity to prove their own.
After Ryan went to the director’s union to release the recruitment information the next day, it didn’t take long for the staff there to tell him that many people were willing to join the crew as assistant directors, and they all left contact information, asking him how to arrange or screen What are the conditions.
How to arrange?Ryan didn't know, and it wasn't that he was looking for an assistant director. Naturally, Lehman had to decide.
After all, the deputy director also means that the next two months or so will be getting along day and night. If you don't find someone close to your eyes, isn't it looking for sin and suffering?
And the personality shouldn’t be too strong. To make a movie, he still has to follow a voice. Lehman doesn’t want someone to express different opinions when he is shooting. Instead, he can listen to the opinions of the actors. The director can’t, he No need for others to teach him how to film.
”How do you arrange?”
In the Warner Studios, Ryan, who came back from the directors’ union, found Lehman who was communicating the effects of the shots and spoke.
”Just this meeting, there were dozens of applications.” Ryan added.
The Hollywood movie market is really hot, and there are too many personnel reserves in various industries.
”If you have a shooting experience, send your work over. If you don't, don't consider it.”
Of course, to find an associate director is to find someone with experience.
”Well.”
Ryan called again to contact the staff over there.
In the afternoon, Lehmann, who temporarily stopped preparations for filming, ran to his temporary office alone and started to work on the film.
Not to mention, there are quite a few experienced ones. One of them has already served as an assistant director in the three crews. It's a pity that the style doesn't match Lehman.
After watching all afternoon, Lyman was devastated, but he still couldn't decide who he would choose.
Most of the works in it are simply the works of some directors when they graduated from the director department of the college, and their personal style is too strong.
”It's really not that I'm picky, I just want to find an obedient, directing ability, a class background, and a style that can match me.” Lyman complained to Ryan.
”You pick it slowly, there are still some people who signed up.” Ryan didn't say anything, and turned to work on his own affairs.
Two days later, the directors' union sent many more works, but after watching them, they all failed without exception.
But there is no way. The director still has to continue to look for it, so he has to let the directors' union pay more attention to see if he can find something that suits his own mind.
This afternoon, Lehmann was discussing with Thomas about the shooting, when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
This is his personal phone number. Not many people know the number.
”Lyman, I heard that you want to find an assistant director, don't you?” Heath Ledger called.
”Correct.”
”I might have a suitable candidate here.”
Lyman was silent for a moment, ”Then you can bring him here, let's talk in person.”
Although it is not clear why the director did not go through the directors’ union, but instead found Heath Ledger, he decided to meet.
Back in the office, Lehman sat for a while before the door rang.
”Please come in.”
Then Heath Ledger walked in with a familiar face.
A man in his twenties with a high hairline, Asian.
Just because of this appearance, Lehman gave birth to a lot of good feelings.
”Let me introduce, this is James Win.” Heath Ledger took the initiative to introduce.
”Director Lyman, hello.” The young man looked a little restrained, and the hard smile on his face could tell that he was nervous.
......
Wen Ziren stood awkwardly beside Heath Ledger and looked at Lyman with a pleasing smile.
He is 26 years old this year. It has been 3 years since he graduated from the University of Melbourne in Australia to study film, but his career has not improved.
When he first graduated, he still wanted to develop in Australia, but the opportunities there were too few, and it was especially cruel to newcomers.
So a year ago, he came to Hollywood, which has the most prosperous film industry in the world, so there won’t be too few opportunities.
Wen Ziren was right. There are many opportunities here, but they are not available to people like him.
Many times, when people see his face, they will show disgust.
He knows why, because many whites hate yellow-skinned people, whether they are South Korea, Japan, China...As long as they are Asian faces, they will undisguised racial discrimination. What is ridiculous is that they have always resisted race. Discriminatory blacks sometimes hate yellow skin more than those whites, and often swear.
Later, at a party organized by a small group in Australia, he met Heath Ledger.
Heath-Ledger has always been committed to helping fellow Australians find a living in Hollywood, and is willing to give them some convenience.
At that banquet, he met Wen Ziren.
Thanks to the directorship he graduated from major classes and the experience of growing up in Australia since he was a child, Heath Ledger took care of him and exchanged contact information with him.
