Chapter 559 560, Hangover
May 13, sunny
Tom Cruise, who was staying at the Venetian Hotel, got up early, had breakfast downstairs, and drove to the next door.
The reason why I say next door is because the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, where "The Hangover" was filmed, is only 16 minutes away from the Venetian Hotel, and the distance here is walking.
The Ferrari sports car started, stepped on the gas, and then braked...
After pushing the car door, throwing the car keys to the doorman, and paying a $100 tip, Tom Cruise strode into the lobby of the Trump Hotel with his head held high amid the compliments of the young doorman.
However, when he walked in, he immediately frowned, because at this moment, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Russell Crowe, and Gisele Bundchen were sitting neatly in the hotel lounge.
"Shouldn't you read the script and make preparations before the filming of the movie?"
Tom Cruise walked over with a gloomy face.
He felt that these people insulted the profession of actors. Since he arrived early, he should act like an early arrival, read the script, talk to the director about the role, and then communicate with the staff of the show about lighting and shooting experience.
You should shoot me from the side. You know, there was a professional media in Hollywood that did a survey before. My side profile is most attractive to mature women, and mature women are the main force of American movie consumption.
"Haha..., Tom, you think too much. Let alone chatting with director Sun Hao, we haven't even seen the movie script."
In terms of qualifications and family background, Nicolas Cage is not inferior to Tom Cruise. Therefore, among the few people, only he dared to talk to this handsome Hollywood guy like this.
"Huh?"
"It's true!"
The next person to speak was Angelina Jolie. She pointed to the direction of the elevator. At this moment, the elevator entrance was guarded by several staff members of the "Hangover" crew. No one was allowed to go upstairs without their permission.
"How could it be like this?"
Tom Cruise was also puzzled. I have been in the film and television industry for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a strange film crew.
Just as she was thinking, someone came down from the elevator. She looked closely and found that it was Li Yu, Sun Hao's executive deputy director. When shooting the last two scenes of "Fast and Furious" a few days ago, it was Li Yu who followed behind director Sun Hao, step by step.
"Hehe..."
Walking to the hotel lobby leisure area, Li Yu smiled before speaking.
"How many of you are here?"
"Yes!"
Before coming, Gisele Bundchen had learned the rules from her agent.
Among the actors, she was the smallest, so when communicating with ordinary crew members of the crew, it was best for her to negotiate with them before the big names spoke.
Because the big names disdain to contact these small people.
As expected, as soon as Gisele Bundchen spoke, she received praise from Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and Russell Crowe. Although it was just an appreciative look, it also made Gisele Bundchen flattered.
When I walk on the Victoria's Secret runway next time, I will have the capital to bid. Not only have I filmed with Tom Cruise and others, but I have also been praised by them.
"Well, everyone is on time!"
Li Yu raised his hand to check his watch, and then laughed softly: "In fact, there is another starring role in our movie, that is the NBA basketball star Shaquille O'Neal. It's just that the playoffs are just starting now, so the director gave him three days off and allowed him to report to the crew three days later."
O'Neal...
Hearing this name, Gisele Bundchen was a little surprised and almost cried out.
Director Sun Hao's filming is really extraordinary. Not only did he invite four Hollywood giants, but he also fooled that dark and strong basketball player.
While speaking, Li Yu's eyes swept across the faces of the five starring actors, but he only saw Gisele Bundchen showing surprise.
Eh..., a bit boring.
Shaquille O'Neal, my idol, and he is also the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, you guys actually gave me this little reaction? !
However, there was no way. Although he was disappointed, he had to continue working. So Li Yu cleared his throat and said:
"I am entrusted by Director Sun Hao to assign roles to everyone in the play. Tom..."
"Wait!"
Before Li Yu finished speaking, Tom Cruise took the initiative to jump out, without waiting for Gisele Bundchen, who was very discerning, to act as a mouthpiece for several people.
"Mr. Tom Cruise, you say!"
Facing this Hollywood giant, Director Sun Hao could not care, but Li Yu had to maintain due respect.
"Shouldn't the director and the actor discuss what role to play in a film or TV work?
Let the actor talk about how he feels about the role, listen to the actor's views on the role, and give the actor enough time to create the role for the second time..."
"Hmm..."
Very patient, after the long-winded Tom Cruise finished expressing his opinions, Li Yu smiled and took out a note from his pocket.
"This is arranged by the director. He said that as long as you trust him, he will definitely give everyone a surprise in the movie "The Hangover".
But if you refuse to follow the director's arrangement, then fine, please compensate the actual losses of the crew in accordance with Article 27, Paragraph 4 of the performance agreement.
The actual amount of loss needs to be calculated slowly by our crew.
However, according to relevant US laws, once an actor and a crew have a contract dispute, as long as both parties have not signed and confirmed or the court has not made a ruling, it is still within the contract period. During the contract period, the actor is not allowed to sign a performance agreement with other crews. "
Fuck...
Fuck...
Fuck...
This is the truest portrayal of the inner thoughts of Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and Russell Crowe.
I said, why didn't that bastard Sun Hao clearly stipulate the liquidated damages in the contract?
What about liquidated damages or no liquidated damages? At that time, if you really don't want to play the role in the crew, then just pay the crew some food expenses?
It's no big deal, after all, we are all friends.
So, Sun Hao, the bastard, is waiting for me here?!
I don't want to charge you a high liquidated damages, but if you breach the contract, I can drag you to death.
They are all smart people. With a slight turn of their eyes, they figured out the joints, so everyone began to patiently listen to Li Yu's explanation of director Sun Hao's arrangements.
"Mr. Tom Cruise..."
"Hmm?"
Tom Cruise was obviously a little unhappy, and just raised his hand and responded.
"The character you play is a teacher."
"Oh. "
"Mr. Nicolas Cage..."
"Yes!"
"You play a dentist!"
"Mr. Russell Crowe..."
"Hmm?"
"You play Doug's brother-in-law in the movie "The Hangover."
" Having said that, Li Yu put the note back into his pocket and clapped his hands.
"Pa pa pa..."
"Mr. Tom Cruise, Mr. Nicolas Cage and Mr. Russell Crowe, you three are Doug's best friends. Doug is getting married, and as best men, you will hold a crazy bachelor party for him on the last night before his wedding.
Next, the crew will shoot what happens when he wakes up the next day after the bachelor party. ”
At this point, Li Yu clapped again.
“Pa pa pa…”
Hearing the applause, three crew members immediately ran over. Without saying a word, the three guys quickly came behind Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, and Russell Crowe to help them put on eye masks and ear plugs.
Eyes covered, ears plugged, but Tom Cruise was much more excited than before.
Haha, that's interesting!
It turns out that this is how the internationally famous director Sun Hao makes movies.
