Chapter 561 Unable to Reason

Rosario in Baja California is famous as the filming location of James Cameron's "Titanic". The facilities were preserved, and with the addition of some infrastructure later, around the artificial lake as the center, Rosario has gradually become the center of water photography in Hollywood.

So far, there is still a legend that James Cameron spent 60 million US dollars to build a large ship model, and after the shooting, the model can only be sold for scrap to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As more and more Hollywood crews came to Rosario, various supporting facilities came into being, including star hotels.

In one of the most luxurious hotels in Rosario, Jessica Felton and director Gore Verbinski walked into the crew meeting room and saw a pale Johnny Depp and his agent Trey West - Jacobs.

"Hello, Director Verbinski." Tracy Jacobs didn't deal with Jessica Felton many times, first shook hands with Gore Verbinski, and then with Jessica- Felton shook hands lightly: "Hello, Miss Felton."

Jessica Felton and director Gore Verbinski responded politely.

Gore Verbinski gets off his chair, sits across from Johnny Depp and his manager, Tracy Jacobs, and looks at Jessica Felton.

Today's event must focus on producer Jessica Felton.

Although the two exchanged views before they came, Gore Verbinski was still a little worried that if Jessica Felton didn't handle it well, the crew might plant a huge trouble.

This kind of thing is not easy to deal with. Weak compromise will only make the star actors get ahead; too tough may lead to sharp conflicts between the two parties and become difficult to reconcile.

Johnny Depp, the captain, is too important to the series. To put it an exaggeration, one person may be enough to determine the success or failure of the film.

Gore Verbinski felt that even Ronan Anderson would have a headache in this situation.

Johnny Depp slumped on the sofa chair, his face was pale, his eyes were drooping, and his eyes were dull. He seemed to be still in his own world, and he didn't say hello to Jessica Felton and Gore Verbinski the meaning of.

It seems that he has not fully sobered up from the wine, and he is still a little drunk.

It was a headache to meet such an actor in such a situation.

However, it is impossible for the crew to wait for him for a long time. Every day of delay, the crew loses more than one million dollars in various expenses.

The delicate wheat-colored skin on Jessica Felton's face was tight, and her keen sense of smell caught the faint smell of alcohol, which came from Johnny Depp.

How much did you drink yesterday? It didn't dissipate completely after a day!

In the eyes of a dedicated technical madman like Jessica Felton, actors like Johnny Depp are definitely not good actors.

A trace of indescribable disgust flashed in her heart, and Jessica Felton quickly adjusted her mentality so as not to affect the next negotiation.

Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, has long been popular and can be called the most important character in the series. The crew could not do without him. This is a fact that has already happened, and she cannot change it.

Jessica Felton knew very well that Ronan entrusted such an important crew to her because he believed in her ability, rather than letting her break up the crew.

But this kind of thing must not happen again, otherwise it will affect the mentality of the entire crew.

Sensing the gaze cast by Gore Verbinski, Jessica Felton did not hesitate. This is her responsibility, and it is impossible to pass it on to others. She must take full responsibility.

"Ms. Jacob, Mr. Depp." Jessica Felton said blankly, "I need an explanation for what happened yesterday."

Tracy Jacobs glanced at Johnny Depp, showing a formulaic smile: "Yesterday was an accident, and I apologize to the crew on Depp's behalf."

The words were light and light, as if what happened yesterday was no big deal.

Jessica Felton is a technical madman. In the past, she dealt more with various technologies, but she has been a post-producer for nearly two years and a producer in the crew for more than a month. Appropriately tough, once the concession is lightly exposed, with the professionalism of an actor like Johnny Depp, maybe God doesn't know what will happen next.

The last two parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are set shots, and according to the plan, it may take another four to five months to shoot.

Jessica Felton said: "I need to know what happened at noon yesterday."

Tracy Jacobs is also a bit helpless, Johnny Depp is full of problems all over his body, he was restrained when filming "The Curse of the Black Pearl", but after Captain Jack Sparrow became popular, he temporarily suppressed it Some of the old problems have begun to appear again.

But what can she do? As an agent, I can only protect clients, saying: "Yesterday at noon, Depp was not in a good mood, and went to drink some wine after filming in the morning."

Jessica Felton turned to look at Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp blinked his blank eyes, and said casually, "Probably so."

Such an attitude was very annoying. Gore Verbinski thought he had a good temper and almost couldn't help but pat the table.

Yesterday's filming plan was made around you as the center, and I specifically confessed it in the morning, but you are good, you got drunk immediately after filming in the morning, and left the whole crew on the set.

Jessica Felton looked at Johnny Depp with a cold tone: "Mr. Depp, the contract you signed with the crew clearly stipulates that you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the filming of the crew. Your behavior is a breach of contract!"

Johnny Depp tilted his head and said plausibly: "This is not a breach of contract. I was not in a good state yesterday. The role of Jack is very special. I need to drink some alcohol to find my state. I accidentally drank too much."

Gore Verbinski couldn't bear it anymore and said, "This is the fifth time you've done it since the filming started!"

Tracy Jacobs was a bit embarrassed, even with his agent's thick skin, and Johnny Depp shrugged, seemingly unfazed.

Jessica Felton quietly waved her hand, and Gore Verbinski didn't say anything further.

"Two, according to the contract." Jessica Felton is very clear that the director has to cooperate with the actors for a long time to shoot, and the conflict cannot be too sharp. The villain can only be done by her: "Mr. Depp breached the contract, we have The right to deduct 60% of the second batch of remuneration."

Tracy Jacob's face turned ugly for a moment: "Miss Felton, this is just a small matter, please don't make it big."

Jessica Felton said: "This is also my idea." She shrugged slightly: "I don't want things to get out of hand. Yesterday afternoon, the abnormality of the crew has been noticed by the media, and now there are dozens of reporters around Watching the production crew go around, I want to find out what happened, I have already issued a gag order to the production crew, and try to downplay this matter as much as possible."

Tracy Jacob's face looked better, of course, this kind of thing can't be spread, otherwise the media will report wildly, which will seriously affect Depp's reputation.

Jessica Felton glanced at Johnny Depp who did not express anything: "We have always had a very good cooperation and we are old friends. I believe that Mr. Depp will respect our contract in the future."

With a touch of alcohol, Johnny Depp said casually: "I see."

Tracy Jacobs also immediately said: "We guarantee that similar things will not happen again in the future."

as far as possible? Jessica Felton also had a burst of anger that was about to burst out, and her chest was swollen and a little bigger. With a tough attitude, she said, "I want to remind you that this is a very serious breach of contract!"

Johnny Depp looked up at Jessica Felton, also seemed a little angry, Jessica Felton met his gaze without backing down.

Tracy Jacobs was bound to side with the client: "Miss Felton, what else do you want us to do?"

Jessica Felton said unceremoniously: "I promise there will never be a next time. In addition, all the staff of the crew waited for so long yesterday, but all the preparation work was scrapped because of one person. They need an attitude, Mr Depp owes them an apology."

"I don't owe anyone anything." Johnny Depp stated his attitude.

Jessica Felton said: "Depp, if you've been working for hours and hours of preparation, and because of one person, all the work is wasted, don't you think that person should say sorry to you? "

Tracy Jacobs didn't want to get too stiff with the crew, so he could only look at Johnny Depp, who was slumped on the sofa chair, still indifferent.

Having said that, Jessica Felton is sure that she can't reason with Johnny Depp. In order for the crew to work smoothly in the next few months, instead of such bad things happening frequently, she must come up with production The tough attitude a filmmaker should have.

All shooting plans were interrupted yesterday afternoon, and the crew lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Johnny Depp comes a few more times, the crew will have to invest more.

Judging from Johnny Depp's current attitude, I'm afraid there will be many such things in the future.

Johnny Depp is important, but not the rest of the crew? If you can't strike a balance between the two, shooting will still go wrong.

Not to mention others, the other two protagonists, Keira Knightley and Christian Bale, as well as the director Gore Verbinski, have been bizarrely angry with Johnny Depp over and over again. up.

If these people have problems, the crew will also be unable to operate.

Gore Verbinski looked at Johnny Depp coldly. In the past, he had heard that some big-name star actors had various problems, but most of them took their work seriously and responsibly.

Those with a bad temper, big airs and lack of professionalism are really rare.

No wonder people in the circle say that Johnny Depp is a weirdo. This description is not unreasonable.

Jessica Felton said lightly: "In this case, I can only deal with it according to the terms of breach of contract and notify the production company to withhold 60% of Mr. Depp's salary."
