Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 159 Julie
"You're so harsh on Liv Tyler, are you worried about losing the bet to me?"

In the crew, Sophia laughed.

"No, this is filming. All my work is centered around making a good movie. I don't care about anything else."

Link sits in front of the monitor, reviewing the footage frame by frame. Later he will take the time to cut out some redundant footage, leaving the useful parts, which will save some time when editing the film in the future.

If you don't cut off the extra shots during shooting, the film will be several kilometers long after shooting, which will be very difficult to cut.

"But she's only seventeen. You're so strict with her. Aren't you worried that she'll give up acting?"

"It is her responsibility to play the role well. As for quitting the role, if she can't hold on, it would be a good thing for the crew if she quits early."

While I was talking, the phone on the table rang.

Link looked at the number and it was Bibibul's. Could it be that Liv was really going to quit acting? He took the phone, listened to a few words, put it down and smiled.

"Liv called to thank me and said she would work harder to play the role well in the future."

"It seems that this girl is smarter than expected. She is not the kind of girl who only has a face but no brains." Sophia said.

"You can't be the only pretty and smart girl in the world."

Link smiled and continued marking the footage.

Sofia, Paul Thomas Anderson and others led the crew to continue shooting exterior scenes and transition shots.

These shots do not require actors to appear and are not difficult to shoot.

The next morning, Liv Tyler came to the crew to film and brought some snacks to Link. She thanked him for his guidance in person and asked him to be stricter in the future. If he found that she was not acting well, he could criticize and guide her without considering her emotions.

Link encouraged her with a few words. He expressed his appreciation and support for actors like her who wanted to improve themselves, and he would give her more guidance without wasting time.

So in the following performances, he continued to treat Liv Tyler strictly. Whenever her performance was not up to standard, he would ask her to do it again. If it was not good once, he would ask her to do it again ten times. If it was not good ten times, he would ask her to do it again twenty or fifty times, until he was satisfied with the performance.

But Liv Tyler was not as strong as expected. Sometimes, after taking more than ten takes and still not passing, Liv would cry with red eyes, and would tremble with fear when she saw him approaching.

This situation continued until Angelina Jolie joined the cast.

Angelina Jolie is one year older than Liv. She is the daughter of Oscar winner Jon Voight and a second-generation Hollywood star. She is beautiful and has a hot body, but she has a rebellious personality and is like a little gangster.

After joining the crew, it seemed that she was not here to make a movie, but to see Link as a person.

She brought him coffee and fruit every day, and would come up to him and harass him after filming.

Link was not interested in this kind of little gangster girl, so he had to pretend to be a cool and aloof male god. During the filming, he strictly required Angelina Jolie to force her to give her best acting skills.

Compared to Liv Tyler, Jolie has better acting talent and is smarter.

With a little guidance in many scenes, Jolie can produce what he wants. It is easier for her to act than Liv Tyler. Also, Jolie has a very mature mentality and will not cry when criticized.

It is also more difficult to cope with.

After Julie joined the crew, she would laugh at Liv Tyler every time her performance failed. If Liv cried out of grievance, Julie would sneer at her, calling her her mother's good girl and asking her to go back to school instead of being an actor.

This also led to an extremely disharmonious relationship between the two. Once when they were acting opposite each other, Julie said something and Liv was so angry that she threw the script in her hand in her face.

Then the two men wrestled with each other.

Two beautiful girls, about 175 or years old and about cm tall, fought on the set, and the effect was extremely shocking.

Ryan, Joaquin and Edward, three weaklings, couldn't pull away even if they joined forces. Edward's neck was scratched by Liv, Ryan was punched in the nose by Julie, and Joaquin was knocked to the ground with his legs up in the air.

Link had no choice but to go on stage himself, grabbing one in each hand and carrying them aside, and asked Julie to apologize to Liv first, because she was the one who verbally attacked first, and then asked Liv to apologize, because she was the one who started the fight first, and both of them were wrong.

Julie had the upper hand in the fight. When she heard his words, she apologized to Liv with a smile, looking like a winner.

Liv's eyes were red as she glared at her angrily, and finally she said "I'm sorry" very reluctantly. "Okay, let's just let this matter pass. No one should make trouble again. We are all colleagues in the same crew. It's not right to fight and quarrel."

"Okay Link, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to whatever you say."

Julie held Link's arm with a smile on her face and spoke to him in a very intimate manner. If you didn't know better, you would have thought she was Link's girlfriend.

"Bichi!"

Liv Tyler cursed under her breath.

Julie smiled and raised her middle finger.

"enough!"

Link had a headache. Most women in the entertainment industry were hypocritical. Some looked very beautiful on the screen, like goddesses, but in private they had all kinds of problems and bad habits, no different from those of ordinary women, and some were even worse than those of ordinary women.

Liv Tyler appears to be quiet and sweet, speaks softly, and seems like a good girl, but she is actually quite rebellious inside.

Angelina Jolie is indeed a little gangster at the moment, smoking, drinking and seducing handsome guys.

Both of them are problem girls, which just fits their role settings.

"Julie, Liv, I don't care what conflicts you have, but you'd better be restrained in the crew. There are hundreds of people in the crew, and it costs hundreds of thousands every day. If you make a scene, many people's work will be in vain, and the crew's plan will have to be delayed. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Link looked at Julie and Liv Tyler with a cold face.

"Link, I know I was wrong. Don't worry, I will never pay attention to her again, nor will I interfere with the crew's work, because I don't want you to be angry."

Angelina Jolie said as she leaned against Link.

Liv Tyler's mouth twitched, and she cursed "bitch" in a voice that only she could hear.

"Liv?"

Link looked at Liv Tyler.

"I understand. As long as a certain Bi. woman doesn't mess with me, I won't bother with her either."

Liv Tyler turned her face away unhappily, with the corner of her mouth turned down.

"Okay, go check if you have any injuries. If you are not injured, we will continue filming in half an hour."

Link waved his hand and asked the two to disperse.

"See, I told you it's not easy to be a director and you didn't believe me."

Ben Affleck stared at Link not far away and said, "Being a director not only requires the ability to shoot, but also the ability to instruct actors, be energetic, and not feel tired when working for 24 hours straight. Most importantly, you must be strong and be able to separate the actors when they fight."

Ben Affleck glanced back at the three of them and said, "You are so weak. The three of you worked together but failed to pull the two girls apart. Instead, you got hurt. You are so weak that you can never be a director."

Joaquin rubbed his sore butt and said, "Don't talk cheap here. They were fighting just now. Why didn't you go over and stop them?"

"Yes, you saw them fighting and you stayed away from them. That was really mean of you."

Ryan rubbed his nose. He had just been punched by Julie. Although there was no bleeding, he shed a lot of tears.

Edward Norton covered his neck with his hands, his eyes blank, and didn't want to speak.

"Haha, I'm an actor, not a security guard. What does their fight have to do with me? It's normal to stay away from them, okay? Otherwise, what about you guys?"

Ben Affleck laughed playfully.

Joaquin and the other two looked at each other and attacked him together, knocking him to the ground.
