Chapter 134
April began and Titanic had already passed the 1 billion mark. Many people around the world were shocked, but they epted the news easily.
After all, Titanic had touched the hearts of many people. Especially women fell in love with the movie. They fell in love with Jack''s sacrifice. And, of course, they fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. The young heartthrob stole the hearts of many women.
This was the beginning of Leonardo''s adventure of dating women under 25 officially happened. He always breaks up with his girlfriend when she''s over 25. Well, three decadester, Leonardo DiCaprio would be categorized as a borderline creep...
There was even news that he was dating a 19-year-old model at the age of 48. That was a huge age difference. The model was not even alive when Titanic came out. Leonardo definitely has the P power, I won''t lie.
Along with the sinking power of Titanic, the movie industry in Europe went into a protest, saying that Hollywood was nothing but an entertainment factory. Which was true.
Years went by and the production of movies matured. Distribution was in full bloom andpanies were using strategies to maximize their profits, nothing wrong with that.
Perhaps the European film industry realized the danger that Hollywood posed to them. If Hollywood continued to produce high quality movies, the European film industry would die. The European film industry has a strong sense of pride because they were the first to produce a movie.
Their era was over after many countries realized that English was the universalnguage.
......
...
"Aren''t you angry that your movie didn''t be the champion of 1997?"
"Me? Of course not. I know my movie is nothingpared to Titanic."
"Is it humility orck of confidence?"
"Anyway, let''s stop talking about me. What about you, kid? Why are you here?"
Kazir was confused as to why this little kid, Scarlett Johansson, was at the Paramount studio. The crew was preparing the set for some interior scenes for John Wick. Filming beganst week, and the cast was starting to get into the spirit of working.
"I got a part in Deep Impact. I heard that you rmended this movie to Salvatore after reading the script.
"It''s actually a partial script."
"Whatever... Anyway, thanks for that."
After Scarlett said her thanks, she looked around and saw some people she recognized. She waved to them and said hello. She even saw the stunt actor who was injured in a car chase scenest year. It seemed that Grey Pictures had rehired him.
"I''m going to leave now. My mom is going to take me to Disnend."
"Take care."
Kazir shrugged and watched the little girl act mature.
''She really has the guts to say Disnend in a Paramount studio.''
As for the sh between Titanic and Taken, Kazir didn''t bother.
"William, are you ready? This is a close-up, so it''s hard to use a body double."
"I understand, director."
William Dafoe smiled. His smile was sincere, but Kazir could not help but remember a certain goblin.
This was William Dafoe''s first big role after acting in the theater stage. He could not help but be nervous and excited at the same time. He did his best to understand his role so that he wouldn''t disappoint the director who chose him.
That''s right, William Dafoe received an invitation from Grey Pictures to audition for the role of Marcus. The sniper who saved John Wick from death.
William Dafoe was grateful for the opportunity director Kazir gave him. Within three months, he spent his time training in hand-to-handbat and firearms. He was confident in himself. Although there were some things he was skeptical about... Technically, it was impossible for bullets to bend their trajectory.
But since William Dafoe was just a hired actor, he decided to keep those things to himself.
"Okay, let''s start shooting."
The room went quiet and the cameras started rolling. Fremont Smith announced the start of the shooting.
In front of Kazir were four monitors to see different angles of the scene.
Marcus (William Dafoe) entered the house with the two bad guys. To make sure he could move easily, he unbuttoned his tuxedo and took off his watch.
Then he faced the two bad guys as if he was a tough motherfucker.
With his experience, he easily beat the two people without any problem. Breaking bones in the process.
''This is different from the original, but it''s just an experiment. It depends on whether I will keep this shot in the final cut. I n to adjust the scenes just in case.''
After he overpowered the two guys, another group of people appeared.
Marcus grinned and the real fight began. He pulled out his gun and fired bullet after bullet. Of course, the enemies also shot at him.
This scene might look cool on the screen, but filming it in real life was really boring. There was no sound, even the guns they used were fake. It was just an imaginary gunfight. Even the recoil was hard to believe. Anyway, the actors were deeply into their roles, so they were quite enthusiastic.
But for outsiders like Erica Mendez, the scene was really boring.
''There are editors who will take care of this problem and make the scene better with sounds and gunshot effects.''
In fact, it was impossible for a single editor to handle these thousands of shots and edit everything.
Rector, the editor of Taken, was only in charge of the scene transitions andbining the shots into a movie.
Imaginary gunshots echoed in the actors'' heads. Deeply into their roles.
Marcus hid behind the wall, his shoulder was wounded, but nothing too serious.
Then he swung his arm and pulled the trigger at the same time. The bullet miraculously bent, killing three people.
Unfortunately, as strong as Marcus was, he was outnumbered. He was cornered.
As for the oue, it depends on Kazir Grey''s decision. Should he let Marcus live or not? That was the question.
[Note: The movie "Wanted" starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman is about an office worker who is recruited into the Fraternity. It''s a group of assassins who can bend the trajectory of bullets, I''m super interested in adding Fraternity to the High Table. If you''re interested, you can check out Wanted.] [Just to be clear, Wanted is rated R, so no minors allowed].
