Chapter 11 Bullying
With just one glance, Winona Ryder recognized that this was the man she had seen in the corridor of the office area at noon. She couldn't help thinking of the assistant's words, and turned to look at Angelina Jolie. Angelina Jolie also Looking at her, the contempt in his eyes did not hide at all, two sharp eyes collided, and sparks flew in an instant.
"Bullshit!"
Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie had the same thought.
Matthew is standing opposite Winona Ryder, all of which can be seen in full view, plus hearing the verbal conflict of the two stars with his own ears, it is guessed that the contradiction between the two will become more and more acute.
Suddenly, he saw Winona Ryder's gaze turned back to himself. For some reason, he always felt that it was not very good.
Winona Ryder first glanced at Matthew, then turned to look at Angelina Jolie, and there was speculation in her heart. Recently, it has been rumored in the circle that Angelina Jolie and Johnny Lee Miller are preparing to divorce , Is there a third party involved? This third party...
Her eyes turned back to Matthew again, and in the style of Angelina Jolie's swingers, it should be very likely.
"James!" Winona Ryder suddenly turned around, and James Mangold, who was discussing with the photographer, immediately looked up, "Is something wrong?"
Winona Ryder nodded slightly, walked over directly, pointed to Matthew and said, "That actor, replaced him."
While the director generally has a lot of power on the set, James Mangold is well aware that Winona Ryder is the producer with far more power than him, and he is a director who can't even make post-production. Participation is actually a filming director on the set.
"This..." James Mangold hesitated for a moment, after all the scene was designed.
Matthew looked over there. The voices of these two people were not high, but they were enough to reach this side.
Then, he looked at his agent, Dennis Coulter, who participated in the filming for the first time and didn't know what to do next? Is it just being pushed out like that?
Dennis Coulter stood on the periphery of the set, and when he heard these words, he stepped back and hid behind a handyman.
Obviously, Winona Ryder had a problem with that fool, and he didn't want this kind of thing to involve himself.
He knew about the crew, except for the producer Georgia Kekendis, who didn't come to the set very often, the most powerful person in the "Girls of Souls" crew was Winona Ryder.
Going up against Winona Ryder for a tiny little extra? He's not that stupid.
Dennis Coulter turned a blind eye to Matthew's cry for help, wondering if he should retreat earlier? As for Matthew, let him fend for himself.
Seeing Dennis Coulter hiding in a blind spot, Matthew knew that he could not count on him, and immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Angelina Jolie. From the analysis of the situation at noon today, Angelina Jolie and Wei Nona Ryder is in trouble, will she say a few words for herself?
Angelina Jolie sat on the couch and turned to look at Winona Ryder. Like most actors, she was emotionally exposed, and her displeasure was almost written on her face.
Although she didn't know why Winona Ryder suddenly made such a request, she faintly felt that Winona Ryder was targeting herself.
She could even feel the look of help from the little driver.
However, Angelina Jolie didn't plan to do anything. She and Winona Ryder did have a very unpleasant quarrel, but it's not worth it to have another fight for a little driver.
She had already given him the opportunity to complete the verbal agreement, and this unexpected situation could only be blamed on his bad luck.
"I'm the heroine!"
As the most powerful person on the set, Winona Ryder speaks with confidence, and in order to avoid giving a bad impression of being unreasonable,
She pointed to Matthew and made a strong excuse, "You find such a handsome nurse to put behind me, it will distract the audience's attention from me!"
This is the legitimate power of the heroine, and it makes sense wherever she gets it.
"You, come here!" James Mangold immediately waved to Matthew and said directly, "Don't participate in the shooting of this scene."
Matthew had a thousand reluctance in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. No one cared about the feelings of the little people, so he had to walk out of the shooting venue.
Winona Ryder said a few more words to James Mangold, then walked into the set and gave Angelina Jolie a special look, who looked very bad.
While preparing for the shooting there, Matthew has changed from a participant to a bystander. He looked around, found the fat figure of Dennis Coulter, and immediately walked over.
"What next?" He stood next to Dennis Coulter.
Dennis Coulter hurriedly took two steps to the other side, as if Matthew had a vicious infection.
"I have urgent business to deal with in another crew." He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "It's almost time, I'll go first. You wait here until you get off work and see if the crew has other arrangements."
Before Matthew could speak, Dennis Coulter turned around and walked away quickly.
The filming began, and the surroundings were quiet. Matthew stood alone on the periphery of the set. The crew members seemed to consciously distanced themselves from him, and no one told him what to do next.
"Is this Hollywood?"
Matthew suddenly laughed, no wonder many people say that the entertainment industry is the most powerful place, and now I really understand it!
If it were someone else, it might be time to just leave, but Matthew has experienced hardships since he was a child, and he can temporarily compromise for survival, but he will not be easily defeated!
No one from the crew said they wanted him to stay on the set, but no one drove him away. It seemed that everyone had forgotten the existence of this little guy.
Therefore, Matthew did not intend to leave on his own initiative, but stood on the periphery, watching the shooting on the set, his eyes were always on Winona Ryder, pondering how to create opportunities for himself.
He finally created an opportunity to come out, and he just left in such a bleak way, he was really unwilling.
The filming was intermittent, and the director would call to stop from time to time. Winona Ryder had a lot of power on the set. Matthew saw her several times in the past to discuss with the director. On the other hand, Angelina Jolie could only be directed by the director.
The two were judged by their status in the crew.
In the filming, it was the other way around. Winona Ryder's performance was mediocre, while Angelina Jolie was very explosive. Matthew was strictly speaking a layman and didn't know how to judge acting skills, but Wino Na-Ryder and Angelina-Jolie performed in the same frame. The former was far more in line with his aesthetic than the latter, but his eyes followed Angelina-Jolie unconsciously.
Matthew thinks that might say something, especially when Angelina Jolie said Winona Ryder wanted to cut her out.
After watching for a while, he was a little puzzled. Since Winona Ryder had so much power on the set, why did she choose Angelina Jolie as the second female lead?
But he thought about it for a while, and then he had the answer. He had heard from Dennis Coulter, the villain who saw the wind and the rudder, mentioned that this film was produced by Sony Columbia Pictures, and there was a producer. It is estimated that it may be They chose Angelina Jolie.
The time of the afternoon was fleeting. Except for going to the toilet, Matthew stood here alone and waited, but when the crew was about to get off work, no one remembered him as an extra.
"Cut!" Director James Mangold called off the last shot of the day, "This one is over!"
Then, he called the main actors and held a brief meeting to determine the shooting tasks for tomorrow. The rest of the crew began to pack up and prepare to leave work.
"what!"
At this moment, Angelina Jolie sounded an angry voice in the studio, "My two scenes are cancelled tomorrow? Why?"
James Mangold explained, "That's what the whole movie needs..."
Angelina Jolie didn't listen to him at all and turned to look at Winona Ryder, "How dare you cut my play!"
Winona Ryder's voice was still cold, "This is a normal shooting adjustment."
Everyone in the crew looked over there, but there was no surprise in their eyes, it seemed that this kind of thing had happened more than once.
Matthew looked over there, his head moving quickly.
"I'll call Georgia Kaikendis!" Angelina Jolie has nothing to do with Winona Ryder now, "I'll report the situation to Sony Columbia!"
Winona Ryder dared to do this, there must be some reliance on her, her fair face did not change in any way, she said directly, "Whatever, you can call anyone."
She turned to James Mangold and said, "Tomorrow shooting on a new schedule."
Angelina Jolie looked like she was going to explode, but there was nowhere to go. Winona Ryder was clearly bullying, but she couldn't think of a way to fight back.
"Go!" Angelina Jolie greeted her assistant, turned and strode towards the dressing room.
Matthew stood there without moving, looking at Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie who was leaving, hesitating for a while. He believes in what he sees and can fight for another chance. He will not be delusional about important roles. Is it possible for small roles with lines?
Should I go to Angelina Jolie, or just Winona Ryder? He didn't know which to choose.
There are definitely disadvantages to doing this, but he is at the bottom of the Hollywood pyramid and even the entire society. He has no capital and nothing to lose. He doesn't need to fight by unconventional means, and he may have to wait for a long time.
What he saw and heard in the crew today made him understand that the opportunity is really too rare.
Who should I choose? Matthew thought about it for two minutes and made a decision.
In his few memories of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie will be famous in the future. His only impression of Winona Ryder is Captain Jack's ex-girlfriend, and he doesn't even know what she looks like...
"Looks like I'm going to become a powerful person too."
With a sigh, Matthew walked in the direction Angelina Jolie left.
