Chapter 560 Depp's Disappearance
Hearing Ronan's promise, David Finch said directly: "I have accepted this project. Mr. Anderson, please ask my agent to negotiate the contract."
He had heard of Ronan's reputation and excellent reputation in Hollywood. It can be said that he has a good reputation. Now that he has made a promise, he may have a very low chance of repentance in the future.
Besides, these will inevitably be reflected in the contract.
Ronan was happy, David Finch was not vague, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
The next specific matters will be discussed by Shahai Entertainment and David Finch's agent.
David Finch's director pay is not low, Hollywood has clear measurement standards. Generally, director contracts are simpler than actors. Most directors do not have as many strange requirements as celebrity actors.
A star who is difficult to serve like Jennifer Lopez, not to mention her messy service staff from assistants to stylists to friends, even her pet cat requires the crew to hire two nannies to take care of her for twenty-four hours.
Compared with many Hollywood stars, stars on the other side of the Pacific are still in the low stage of being a big shot.
The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" filmed in Rosario, Baja California, encountered the dilemma of celebrities playing big names.
In the artificial lake set, the crew was ready just now, just like someone suddenly pulled the electric switch, and could only stop temporarily. The actors in front of the scene and the staff of various types of jobs behind the scenes were full of helplessness, and there was a hint of anger in their helplessness.
Kayla Knightley pinched her waist with her hands, stood on the wooden deck, and turned around several times, saying to Christian Bale opposite: "Johnny Depp is special? What time is this? Ha... everyone is waiting for him one."
Christian Bale spread his hands helplessly, and the dissatisfaction on his face was overwhelming.
A skinny male actor standing on the mast under the scorching sun. Seeing that he could not take a picture, he quickly got off the mast.
Another pirate dressed in one-eyed dragon approached his ear and muttered not to know what he was talking about.
Darez Worsky, the person in charge of the photography team and the crew's photography director, saw that he could not shoot, so he quickly picked up the intercom and shouted a few words, calling back the shooting boat in the artificial lake.
The latest digital cameras have extremely high environmental requirements and cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time.
The heads of other departments behind the scenes looked at director Gore Vibinski. Director Gore Vibinski took the loudspeaker handed over by assistant Charles Gibson and shouted loudly: "The actors go back to the rest room to make up, and other departments will maintain the status quo except for the crew!"
He put down the megaphone and shouted, "Who can tell me where the damn male protagonist went!"
After the morning shooting, he did not remove his makeup. After lunch break, Johnny Depp, who had put on makeup in the dressing room, suddenly disappeared after coming out.
Assistant director Charles Gibson doesn't know how to answer.
Gore Vibinsky growled: "He was still filming in the morning, why did he disappear after lunch?"
Not far away, assistant producer Craig Wood couldn't get through Johnny Depp's cell phone, so he quickly called the producer Jessica Felton.
Jessica Felton, who was coordinating the second investment with the Pacific Investment Foundation, immediately arrived on the set and quickly learned about the specific situation from Craig Wood.
Jessica Felton has been in office for more than a month and has adapted to the role of producer who is in charge of the crew. Knowing that now is not the time to hesitate, as a producer, you must make a quick decision and quickly deal with this emergency situation.
Strictly speaking, it is not an emergency. Before she took office, similar situations had occurred several times in the male protagonist Johnson Depp.
Jessica Felton called Johnny Depp's cell phone again, but no one answered, and then called Johnny Depp's agent's cell phone, with a busy voice.
"Clay, contact Johnny Depp's assistant or other people around you immediately to determine Johnny Depp's location." Jessica Felton knew that this was Mexico. Although it was unlikely that someone would dare to mess with Hollywood crew casually, this situation could not be ruled out: "If Johnny Depp's assistant could not contact him, report to me immediately."
"Okay." Craig Wood dared not hesitate at all.
Jessica Felton said to another assistant: "Immediately start the crew security and look for it on the set, don't let go of every corner. Go to the hotel in person to see if Johnny Depp has returned to the hotel. Please hurry up and report it to me any time you have any news."
The assistant did not dare to delay and quickly called the security officer to leave together.
Jessica Felton put his long loose hair into a ponytail and quickly walked to Gore Velbinsky who was on the phone. Gore Velbinsky immediately hung up the phone and nodded to Jessica Felton.
"How is it?" Jessica Felton pointed to Gore Wibinsky's cell phone: "Have you contacted Johnny Depp?"
Gore Vibinsky said directly: "I just called Johnny Depp's agent, and the agent didn't know where he went." He couldn't help but jumped up: "Shit! He kept the whole crew here! Is there any basic professional ethics!"
This director with a bad temper tide was slapped at the temporary office desk in front of him one after another.
Jessica Felton comforted: "Gor, please calm down, I have sent someone to find him."
Although Jessica Felton was the producer who suddenly airborne, Gore Wibinsky was very familiar with her, and the two sides collaborated in the post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".
George Clint left the crew, and as a director, he also thought no one was more suitable than Jessica Felton.
The only worry is that Jessica Felton is a woman and it is hard to be a female producer.
But over the past month, Gore Vibinsky gradually dispelled his concerns. He had seen Jessica Felton's professional ability long ago. There is no doubt that the ability to handle affairs was also trained when he was a post-production producer. He also had a very high emotional intelligence and rarely rashly interfered in specific shooting affairs. It was probably because of an editor's background, and he knew very well that professional work was handed over to professionals to handle.
Occasionally, conflicts that arise from the crew can be handled properly, allowing the crew to operate on a normal trajectory.
Maintaining such a huge crew to operate normally is enough to prove the producer's ability. Some producers have big hearts and little abilities, which will make the crew mess up.
Jessica Felton has big breasts and big hearts and great abilities.
The ringtone of the cell phone rang, Gore Vibinsky quickly answered, and after listening to a few words, he hung up the phone and said to Jessica Felton: "Johnny Depp's agent can't contact him either."
The delicate mixed-race skin on Jessica Felton's face was a little dark. This was the first time that this kind of bad thing happened. The protagonist suddenly disappeared from the crew, which was not a trivial matter.
If something happens, the crew’s trouble is not big, but huge!
What to do? Jessica Felton subconsciously wanted to call Ronan, but he held back his phone.
Now the producer and leader of the crew is her, not Ronan Anderson, and Ronan is far away in Los Angeles, so she can only handle it now.
Craig Wood ran over and said, "Johnny Depp's assistant's phone number has been opened, and he is looking for Johnny Depp."
Gore Vipensky had a bad premonition and whispered: "Jesse, there will be no problem?"
Jessica Felton forced herself to calm down: "I've already started to find someone." She suddenly remembered something and asked: "Gor, isn't it the first time that Johnny Depp hasn't appeared on set on time?"
"Yes." Gore Vibinsky said the truth: "I've had it twice before, but both of them were seriously late in the morning."
Jessica Felton's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "Late? Why?"
Gore Wibinski said quickly: "Johnny Depp was addicted to alcoholism, and those two late arrivals were all caused by getting drunk the night before."
Jessica Felton pinched her chin: "Addicted to alcoholism?"
The ringtone of the cell phone rang again, Jessica Felton picked up the phone, and another assistant heard the voice of: "Boss, I'm in the hotel, Johnny Depp has not come back. I asked the hotel staff carefully, and they were sure that Johnny Depp has not come back after leaving the hotel this morning."
Jessica Felton buckles the flip phone and says to Gore Vipensky: "Not in the hotel."
Gore Vipensky felt a pain in his liver. This was the first time he had encountered such a weird actor in this not-so-long directorial career. It was such a big eye-opener.
Jessica Felton didn't stop, thinking of what Gore Wibinsky said about Johnson Depp's addiction to alcoholism, and told Craig Wood: "Immediately call all the assistant producers and assistant directors to find them on the set and all the places around who can drink. Also, remind everyone that they signed a confidentiality agreement when they entered the crew."
Craig Wood quickly summoned people and hurried away.
Only Gore Wibinsky and Jessica Felton were left here for the time being. Gore Wibinsky asked, "Do you want to call the police?"
Jessica Felton shook her head: "No, Mexican police..." She glanced at her watch: "Half an hour later, if there is no news from Johnny Depp, we will call the police."
Worrying temporarily overshadowed Johnny Depp's sudden disappearance of anger, Jessica Felton walked back and forth anxiously, answering calls from time to time, and most of the crew had been sent out.
Ten minutes later, a phone call came over and finally got good news.
Jessica Felton hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Johnny Depp found it, was drunk in a bar, sleeping with a cat."
Gore Vipensky's fire was immediately lit, and a string of swear words couldn't help but emerge from his mouth.
