One Hundred and Twenty-Four - Don’t Say a Single Word!

When he learned that the crew might lose the filming location, the actor Nicolas Cage also felt helpless. He looked at the core members and was thinking about a solution.

"Okay, let's go back to the hotel first. Let's go back and discuss a solution." Seeing that everyone around him was gone, Wayne asked everyone to go out together. There was no point in staying here any longer.

Through the window, he saw that the reporters were still there. They didn't get what they wanted and must not give up easily. These people were like leeches. They would never open their greedy mouths unless they sucked out enough blood.

When several people went down to the first floor, Wayne suddenly grabbed Nicolas Cage. Under the doubtful eyes of several people, he stared at him seriously and said: "No matter how the paparazzi reporters provoke you, don't say a word. Remember , don’t say a word!

Think about it, what would be the consequences if they connected this incident with what happened two weeks ago? Not only will the crew be regarded as a drug den by the public, but you will also be known as an addict for the rest of your life! "

After he couldn't help but tell him, Wayne turned his attention to his agent. "Watch your client, Susan, I don't want any more trouble now!"

It wasn't until the other party nodded to show that he understood that he withdrew his aggressive gaze and took the lead towards the apartment door.

Not far from the door, Sergey had opened the car door. When he saw his boss and his entourage coming out, he immediately ran over and protected Wayne tightly. He squeezed away the paparazzi who were like a collective hive and worked hard towards the front of the car. move.

"Director Greenberg, are most of your crew members drug addicts? Will you also be here..."

"Wayne, is it true that you can't film without contraband?"

"Nicolas Cage, are the contraband you usually smoke provided by the assistant director of the production crew?"

"Mr. Greenberg..."

Even after getting into the car, the paparazzi still surrounded the car and asked loudly. Facing the slowly moving car, each of them looked like a warrior who was not afraid of death.

If you can let this car hit you, that's one of these paparazzi's ideals.

"They are so crazy. Are we going to let them arrange us like this?" With an angry face, Nina's tone was full of grievances for her boss. "These damn paparazzi, can they also be considered reporters?"

When the car finally slowly left the crowd and drove back to the hotel, Wayne shook his head. "They don't need our answers at all, they just need to write stories that attract the public's attention. Now even if we say a word, the headlines will change."

This drama only took about three weeks to be produced smoothly? There were so many twists and turns that made Wayne, who only wanted to devote his energy to the crew, sense something very bad.

Did the media reporters react too quickly? Even if paparazzi took those photos, it would be impossible for so many tabloids to react and first go to the police station to interview, and then come to the set to block the door.

What is the purpose of these things happening? These questions have been swirling in Wayne's head. He has thought through most of them, but he can only put them aside temporarily and solve the problems at hand.

At least we can get an answer. The crew has indeed stopped working because of these things, and it is possible that it cannot continue due to "accidents". The known consequences are that the production will not be completed on time, let alone the release on time.

Trying to suppress what was on his mind, Wayne and his group walked into the hotel lobby surrounded by reporters again.

Without any pause, they came to the elevator and went straight to the director's suite. Everyone knew that they had to do something now and waiting would not bring any good results.

Ignoring the few people sitting silently on the sofa, Wayne lit his cigarette and began to think. He was thinking about how to minimize the impact, and at least let the crew continue filming!

"Can you give up Karen!" This was the first solution that Wayne thought of. Since he couldn't solve the impact he brought, he might as well solve the person who caused the impact.

John immediately replied: "Yes, even if you want to bail him out now, you still need cumbersome procedures. The prerequisite is that with the consent of the DEA, the amount of contraband he carries can be prosecuted."

When the production manager mentioned that the DEA was in charge, Wayne immediately gave up his illusions about this guy and simply let him stay there for a few years.

"Okay, let's go over everything." Taking out a big puff of smoke, Wayne picked up a newspaper and pen. "The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the New York City Government. The crew cannot stop production because of these bad things. There are not many indoor scenes in New York. This part can be shot back at Warner Studios.

At least we need to sit down with them and talk about it, and let's finish filming the scene where we need to close the road in the city center. Those big scenes are very important. If we went back to Los Angeles to set up scenes, the film would definitely face delays and cost overruns! "

He was writing and drawing in the newspaper and analyzing the most important things. Suddenly Wayne turned his head and looked at John. "I'm curious as to why Karen brought so much contraband. When you went with the lawyer, did you ask him?"

This is the most unreasonable part of the whole thing. The weight of the things he brought was embarrassing. It was obviously too much for his own use. And for selling, the weight was simply not worth the risk.

Besides, although I don’t know Karen’s income, with Wayne’s experience, it’s certainly not comparable to that of ordinary white-collar workers, and he has no reason to engage in trafficking.

"It was inconvenient to speak in the police station at that time, but I was sure that he brought it for someone else or hid it in a trailer from Los Angeles. This is why the police wanted to search the crew."

"Give him up, John." Because this mess still required the crew to be searched, Wayne's curiosity was completely gone at the time. Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, this person had been diluted from his mind. .

"Let Joaquin come back. When he comes back, you all can make a statement through Warner Bros. All of Karen Worster's actions have nothing to do with the crew. Warner Bros. will pursue all the consequences of his actions on the crew! Maybe this way You can let go of some of your relationship with him.”

Hearing these words of Wayne, several people, including Nicolas Cage and his agent, shuddered and glanced at him covertly. This was not just giving up, it was making the other person turn around for the rest of his life. I can’t survive!

Anyone born in this country knows how powerful capital is!

Even John, who was drinking water with a frown on his face, had a meal in the cup he held in his hand. He really wanted to give up on Karen, but he never thought that just to clear up a little relationship, he would backhand kick him into a deeper well!

However, he immediately realized that this was Karen's last remaining value and must be squeezed out to reduce losses. "I understand, I will inform Joaquin to come back later and call Kevin."

According to Wayne's own estimation, Kevin Tetsuhara in Los Angeles must have been fed up. The crew spent a lot of money after arriving in New York, and the filming work has not yet seen results, which has brought so much trouble to the company.

But these things are what John has to worry about, he has more important things to do.

After seeing the production manager's promise, Wayne turned back to Zack Snyder and said: "You were the one who negotiated with the New York City Government in the first place. Now help me make an appointment with their person in charge. The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow morning." I can talk to them!”

This is the most important thing at the moment, and it is also the most difficult thing to solve. The plan must not be changed.

Just think about how difficult it is to convince the New York City Government at this time to dispatch a large number of police to help block the roads and allow the crew to continue filming in the center of New York City.

"Okay, I can guarantee that I can invite someone, but the result cannot be determined by my friendship with shooting commercials." Zack Snyder nodded and agreed.

He has indeed been living in New York for several years, and has also helped many city government departments shoot promotional videos, but he is just a director who mainly shoots advertisements, and he will lose face no matter how many things he does.

Of course, those politicians like Hollywood crews to come to New York to film. The city can always appear in the movie, which is also a great way to promote itself.

But politicians don’t like to be involved in various scandals. This is the red line for all North American politicians. They are different from star directors. Being stuck with these things means that their careers are in crisis.

After the discussion, watching them walk out one by one, Nicolas Cage also stood up and asked Wayne, "What do you need me to do?"

"Just close your mouth tightly and that's enough!"
