Because of the sudden visit of Fatty Peter and Boss Shion, Nanaya had to give the crew half a day off in advance.
Fortunately, the crew's shooting progress is currently under control, and taking a half-day break will not have much impact on the progress.
What's more, shooting action scenes is a very tiring job. Even with a stunt double, the energy and physical drain on the actors is considerable.
Giving everyone half a day off is a way to combine work and rest.
Nanaya found a cafe near the set to accommodate the two of them.
"You seem to have encountered something good?"
As soon as he sat down, Nanaya saw the smiles that Shion and Fatty Peter couldn't hide on their faces.
"I guess so."
Shion held the coffee in both hands and glanced at a figure squatting on the street corner in the distance.
"They are really dedicated."
Shion commented in an unfathomable tone.
"What? What?"
Fat Peter turned his head and looked in the direction where Shion was looking, and he saw the same figure.
Perhaps because Fatty Peter's actions were too obvious, the other party realized that he had been discovered and quickly slipped out of their sight.
"Ms. Washimine is talking about paparazzi. They are indeed annoying." Fat Peter muttered and turned back.
He didn't know about the feud between Washimine and News Corporation, and he thought it was just an ordinary paparazzi.
In fact, this paparazzi was just a bait placed in the open by News Corporation, and the other party was just conducting normal paparazzi activities.
The real "elites" of News Corporation used even more extreme means such as wiretapping and tracking to monitor Nanaya.
However, Nanaya and Shion had no intention of telling Peter the details.
After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
They notified Lucas on the one hand because the other party had been targeted by News Corporation, and on the other hand because Lucas' cooperation was needed for subsequent actions.
"Paparazzi are really annoying."
Nanaya's words were a conclusion about the other party.
But this is also what Nanaya really thinks.
If it weren't for these annoying paparazzi, I wouldn't have to go half a year without seeing Shion.
Not only Shion, Nanaya hasn't been intimate with Rin and Sakura for a long time.
Although Ryan is also good, both his figure and posture are perfect.
But since he had improper relationships with so many women, and they condoned the existence of other people among them.
Nanaya found that he really wanted to change his taste.
All I can say is that livestock are animals that will never change.
Shion obviously read something from Nanaya's unhappy expression. She snorted before speaking, "I just watched from the sidelines of the set. I didn't expect that Illya would actually perform obediently."
"You mean to say she didn't lose her temper after seeing the director's complete script?"
Nanaya's eyes turned into crescents, and he heard a hint of regret in Shion's tone.
"After all, Lily was very much looking forward to this role, but in the end she ended up with this result."
Shion spread her hands and said innocently, "Anyone would be angry if they were in this gap between reality and ideal."
[Since you knew, why didn't you warn Illya in the beginning? ]
Shion was present when Lily persuaded Illya to play the role of director.
Knowing her character's situation, she could have spoken out to stop it, but in the end she just stood by and watched Illya jump into the pit that Lily had dug for her.
Obviously, Lily, who set the trap for Illya, bears the greatest responsibility, but Shion, who was watching the show, is not a good person to Illya either.
Nanaya probably thought that with Illya's little brain, she wouldn't think of Shion.
However, after seeing the director's complete script, the little girl not only made a big fuss, but also dissed Lily.
But in the end, Illya accepted the role of director.
It's nothing, this role just has fewer scenes.
For Illya, who has begun to take over Linbao's affairs, a role that requires her to appear in several movies is definitely not an option.
Especially in the next few years, Illya will have less and less time to be an actor.
For a role like the director, who only has a prologue role, Illya can be said to be very suitable.
However, Illya didn't just let it go.
In the several conversations between the director and Romani that have been filmed so far, Nanaya can feel the silver-haired girl's dissatisfaction with him.
After all, who would blush and look happy when being insulted? !
This is obviously a problem, okay?!
"Ahem."
Recalling Illya's strange behavior, Nanaya coughed twice.
"Peter, what do you want me for?"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Shion would lead the topic to something strange, Nanaya turned his head and looked at the other person who came to see him.
"Here, this is a list of the main characters of "The Hundred Years' War." Peter took out an envelope and handed it to Nanaya, "I need you to take a look at it."
"This kind of thing should be discussed first."
Nanaya pinched his brows helplessly, then he opened the file bag and took out the information from it.
Nanaya skipped over all the roles that had already been confirmed by the actors and went straight to reading the latest list confirmed by Peter Jackson.
"Um…Angelina Jolie plays Camilla??"
Nanaya had an expression that said "Are you kidding me?"
"Yes."
Fat Peter nodded seriously.
"How much did she ask?"
As an actress who has remained very famous since she became famous in the 1990s, this woman's pay has always been high.
"Four million dollars."
Fat Peter replied quickly.
Nanaya did not comment on the numbers, but waited for the fat man in front of him to continue explaining.
"You know, Jolie's reputation has plummeted since the incident in 2005."
Nanaya, who is well versed in Hollywood gossip, of course knows that Fatty Peter is talking about the 2005 movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
Fatty Peter went on to say: "Especially in recent years, her only notable role was the voice of the tigress in Kung Fu Panda."
As a popular female star, Nanaya thinks that Angelina Jolie's miserable situation is her own fault.
Having an affair with a married man is not a good thing in any country.
In Nanaya's opinion, the quality of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can only be considered average.
From the script to the action scenes, it feels more like a work from the 1990s. The probability of failure in making such a movie in 2005 is actually very high.
But how should I put it, this movie is really lucky.
The male and female protagonists had an affair while filming a movie, which caused a shocking love scandal.
If it were just that it would be fine, but the problem is that the man, Brad Pitt, is a married man!
Although there are many breakups and reunions between men and women in Hollywood, it becomes very problematic when it involves married people.
Especially since it was Angelina Jolie who took the initiative in this matter.
Although the Hollywood circle is very chaotic, the overall trend in the United States is still very conservative.
Naturally, there is an endless stream of criticism against a woman who steals someone else's husband.
Along with various condemnations against Jolie, the popularity of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" became very hot, and the film company also made amazing profits.
In fact, Nanaya has always been doubtful whether this scandal was intentional by the film producers.
After all, this isn't the first time Angelina Jolie has done this.
This actress can be said to be a typical example of someone who dares to love and hate, and she is particularly easy to get into the role.
Looking at Angelina Jolie's love history, you will find that her boyfriend and girlfriend all happened on the set.
Well, yes.
The actress is also a well-known two-way plug in Hollywood.
And Jolie's love can be said to come and go quickly.
Every time after a relationship ends, this actress will quickly break up with the other party and start the next relationship.
Brad Pitt was considered to be relatively long-lasting. Not only did the relationship last for 15 years, but Jolie also gave birth to three children for this man.
Jolie's film production has dropped rapidly since 2005. Apart from the influence of the scandal, consecutive pregnancies are also the main reason.
But even so, Jolie got tired of Brad Pitt and separated from him two years after their marriage.
In his previous life, Nanaya last heard from these two people in April 2019.
After a long 15-year love affair, this "fairy couple" chose to divorce.
Nanaya quickly went over Angelina Jolie's information in his mind.
Apart from the possibility that she was flirting with actors (both male and female) on the set, the role of Camilla was quite suitable for her.
And Jolie's fame can indeed bring a lot of attention to the movie.
"3 million dollars." Nanaya thought for a moment and said, "3.5 million dollars at most."
Peter knew that Nanaya meant to negotiate with Jolie with a salary of $3 million.
The bottom line of the negotiation was $3.5 million.
Nanaya added: "The role of Camilla is just a supporting role, $4 million is too expensive."
"I see."
"Also." Nanaya said seriously, "Tell Jolie not to create any love scandals on the set. Fate doesn't need this kind of gossip! Write this into the contract!"
It would be very troublesome if this two-way plug showed its true colors of love and hate in the crew.
You know, Lily was in the crew of "The Hundred Years' War".
If this cheap sister-in-law gets entangled with that woman, Nanaya believes that Ryan will definitely tear him to pieces alive.
"I'll talk about that."
Peter had naturally heard of Jolie's "feat", and he nodded seriously.
"As for Siegfried and Martha..."
Nanaya pursed his lips and looked at Peter without saying anything.
Peter scratched his head awkwardly. He knew very well why Nanaya looked at him that way.
For these two roles, the actors suggested by Fat Peter were Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler.
You may not have any idea about the name, but if you just mention the role, everyone will definitely know it clearly.
The human king Aragorn and his wife the elven princess Arwen.
Needless to say, Fat Peter is using backdoor connections for his actors again.
