Universal Pictures Filming Base.

The filming scene of the crew of the movie "The Scorpion King".

"You can't kill me!"

"No one in this world can kill me! Why? Because I am in hell!"

"I am... Scorpion King!!!"

The Scorpion King played by Dwayne Johnson, looked down at all the opponents, and his arrogant and unruly domineering aura unfolded.

His just-right burly figure, even if he doesn't have much acting skills, restores the role of Scorpion King very high.

"Click~"

With the command of director Chuck Russell, the filming ended.

"Director, do you need another one?"

Johnson, who has a burly appearance, acts a little cute and humble at this moment, and forms a strong contrast.

Director Chuck Russell waved his hand, looked at him with an admiring look, and said, "No, your performance is very good. Johnson, you should be more confident in the future. Although you are not a professional actor and your acting skills are a little immature, I believe you will succeed in Hollywood."

"Thank you, director, I will work harder in the future!" Johnson said quickly.

He is still so humble.

This not only made director Chuck Russell very useful, but many members of the entire group of "The Scorpion King" have a good impression of this humble young man.

"Everyone will take a break and take a picture in twenty minutes."

Director Russell shouted.

The leaders of the assistant director, producer, prop group and set group responded one after another.

Within Hollywood, most directors are just tool players of the crew.

You have to shoot whatever the producer asks you to shoot.

Especially the script!

Under the industrialized model of Hollywood, before a movie enters the shooting cycle, the script will be finalized after three changes. Once the script is finalized, the director of the crew will not have the right to make any changes. It is almost impossible to modify the script during the shooting.

"Director, what?" Johnson asked suddenly.

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, director Russell was stunned and immediately said, "Before the script of "The Scorpion King" was finalized, I wanted to modify several of them, but they were all rejected. I believe that after my modification, our movie will be even better, but... the result, you know."

What's the result?

Of course it is impossible to change the script!

Once the script is adapted, Universal Studios, as the producer, will pay an additional $1 million to $2 million for this.

Suddenly, Johnson suddenly spoke: "Director, are you sure the script you modified will be even better?"

"certainly!"

Director Russell blurted out.

As the director who once filmed "The Disguised Wizard", he has quite strong self-confidence.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Johnson said, "If, I say if? Can I persuade Mr. James Jacks to agree to revise the script?"

"Can you?!" Russell looked at him in surprise.

Johnson nodded: "I can."

He answered very firmly? But Russell still looked at him suspiciously.

Two words - don't believe it.

This feeling of being questioned made Johnson a little unhappy.

......

Noon break.

James Jacks, the producer of the "Scorpion King" crew, is here.

"What?!"

Jacks was furious: "You suggested that I modify the script that has been finalized? Do you think I will promise you? What are you kidding!"

Johnson: "..."

Johnson was really confused at this moment.

In his impression? Producer James Jacks is a gentle person? He always speaks like a spring breeze, and he has always taken good care of her, otherwise he, a non-professional actor, would not have become the leading actor in the movie "The Scorpion King".

The attitude before and after...there are huge differences!

After Johnson was slightly stunned, he continued to speak, "Mr. Jacks? I really think director Russell's words are reasonable. His revised script is indeed better than the original script. I think..."

"Shut up!"

Before Johnson could speak, he was interrupted by the furious producer Jacks.

And? Jacks was surprisingly angry at this moment!

He is like a completely erupting volcano.

"Who do you think you are?!"

"The movie "Scorpion King" has been prepared for 5 months in the early stage. It took more than 2 months to finalize the script alone, and countless manpower and material resources have been invested. Are you talking now? I persuaded me to modify the script. Do you think it is possible?"

"Before and after the revision of the script? Are you paying for the millions of dollars in losses caused?"

"Do you remember? You're just an actor!"

"No, I was wrong? You are just a lucky guy."

"Do you think you don't have me? Will you become the leading actor in "The Scorpion King"? Put me in your position? OK?"

The words like machine guns ejected.

Producer Jacks' words were like a knife stabbed Johnson's heart.

“…”

Johnson wanted to speak but stopped, his mouth moved, but he did not dare to refute it in the end.

At this moment, Johnson didn't understand.

He didn't understand why producer Jacks was so angry. Even because he proposed to modify the script, he wouldn't point at his nose and scold him like this?

Why?

Why is he so angry?

Is it really because I am arbitrarily?

Johnson is a smart man, and he is thinking about everything now.

In fact, the reason why producer Jacks is so angry is mainly because he was criticized by Zhu Ke a few days ago at the test film meeting of "Lord of the Rings".

Not only did he fight, he also completely ignored him!

Jacks, who had nowhere to vent his heart, had a fire in his heart, and of course he would not give him a good face when the Dwayne Johnson bumped into him.

"Director Russell, did you ask Johnson to come to me to modify the script?" Jacks questioned the director.

Upon hearing this, Russell immediately replied: "You misunderstood, how could I make such an excessive request? I am a senior director. Of course, I know that once the script is finalized, there is no possibility of revisions."

Jacks nodded, saying nothing more.

However, he subconsciously glanced at the Dwayne Johnson not far away, with a sense of disgust in his eyes, well, unconcealed.

Johnson immediately felt shocked.

After producer Jacks left, Johnson walked to director Russell in anger and asked: "Director, why don't you tell the truth?!"

"snort!"

Russell snorted coldly, "Are you asking me? So, what identity are you asking me, are you a director, producer, or investor? If not, please shut your mouth obediently."

"you!"

When Johnson was angry, he felt for the first time that human nature was so complex and fickle.

You should know that before, both producer Jacks and director Russell, including most people in the entire crew, admired him very much.

But...what now?

desolate!

Endless sadness!

Johnson felt bad all over.

"Look at it, Hollywood is like this." Johnson's uncle Bach came over to comfort him.

Johnson nodded dullly.
