Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 162 Uma
"Link, how's your movie going?"

"all the best!"

"I saw in the news that you bullied young actors on the set, filmed a scene dozens of times, and often filmed until late at night, causing the actors to collapse due to lack of sleep. You were called a tyrant on the set."

Quentin quipped.

"Rumors. I'm shooting a horror movie. It's normal to shoot at night. It's also normal to get scared and collapse."

"The news said that you were harassed by local gangs while filming in New York. Is that true?"

Robert Rodriguez asked curiously.

"They're not really gangsters. You know P. Diddy and Jay-Z, right? I went to New York to buy a script from you and had a conflict with them on the plane. They held a grudge against me. This time I went to New York to shoot a movie and they sent people to harass the set, causing some damage to the crew. But the crew paid for insurance, so the loss wasn't big."

Quentin said, "Puff Daddy is a gangster. He used to be a gang member and sold drugs. In the 1980s, New York cracked down on gang forces, so he changed his career to become a rapper. But now he still has a lot of gang members under him. Be careful when you go to New York next time."

Quentin lived in New York for seven years and knew P. Diddy and his gang better than he did.

"I'll pay attention."

Link raised his glass and clinked it with Quentin. He is now a billionaire and a celebrity in the entertainment industry. He has money and connections. Even if P. Diddy is very powerful in New York, he can't do anything to him.

But it's not a good idea to always be on guard against others.

It happened that during the filming in New York, he got to know several police and political figures because of the plot requirements. He planned to use the US government to teach these guys with criminal records a lesson.

"Robert, Richard, how is your film going?"

Link looked at director Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater.

"My film is still in preparation and is scheduled to start shooting next month."

Robert laughed.

"Yes, I wish you all the best."

“My film has also been completed and is currently in the post-production stage.”

Director Richard said.

Link said, "Have you found a distributor? If not, you can consider Guess Pictures. Currently, the distribution channels of Guess Pictures, Triangle Entertainment and Good Machine Pictures have been merged, and their distribution capacity exceeds that of all independent film companies."

"Hey, okay, I've been worrying about the distribution of the movie recently, and they just persuaded me to work with you. Now you said that after the movie is finished, I will go to Guess Pictures to find you."

Richard Linklater laughed.

"it is good!"

Link and Richard clinked beers.

Richard Linklater is a Texan, a genuine redneck, 33 years old this year. After graduating from high school, he worked in the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico for two and a half years. Later, because of his love for movies, he came to Los Angeles with $18000 to make a movie.

There are currently two works, "Slacker" and "Bookishness Is Useless", both of which are less well-known low-cost films.

However, he wrote, directed, acted in and financed all of his films himself. Like the four people here, he is an all-round director who grew up in a wild way.

This is also the reason why several people can get together.

Director Richard is not very famous now, but he has a good future. His representative works include "Before Sunrise", "Before Sunset", "Before Midnight", "Boyhood", etc. He has been nominated for the Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay many times.

His films are highly artistic and delicate in style, like a film poet.

This is in stark contrast to his full beard and sturdy physique.

"Look, there's a beautiful lady coming."

Robert bumped into Link's shoulder, and Link looked up. The person coming was Uma Thurman, the heroine of "Pulp Fiction". She was the beauty that Quentin called him to introduce to him last time.

However, when filming "Pulp Fiction", there were rumors about Quentin and Uma Thurman in the entertainment tabloids, which the two strongly denied because Uma Thurman is a married woman and her current husband is Gary Oldman, the male lead of "Bram Stoker's Dracula." "Hi, Uma, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever."

Link stood up and greeted Uma Thurman warmly.

"Link, you are also very charming. Renee and I often talk about you on the crew. Renee said you are the best man in the world and she is almost fascinated by you."

Uma Thurman laughed.

Renée Zellweger was recommended by Link to play the girlfriend of Butch, one of the male protagonists in "Pulp Fiction". She didn't have many scenes, but if she performed well, she could still stand out.

"Uma, do you often talk about Link on the set?"

Quentin frowned.

"Just chatting, any questions?"

"Don't chat anymore and focus on filming."

Quentin snorted.

"You should talk about Quentin."

Robert quipped.

Link glanced at Quentin and smiled, "Uma, when are you free, I'll buy you some coffee?"

"Hey Link, what do you want to do? You have so many rumored girlfriends, why do you want to harass Uma? Aren't you a scumbag for doing this?"

Quentin stood up and pulled Uma to sit next to him, asking her to stay away from Link.

"It's just coffee, why are you so nervous?"

"Who's nervous?"

Quentin curled his lips and told Uma that Thurman Link was a playboy who had five, no, more than ten girlfriends. He was so fickle that women must be careful when they met him.

Uma Thurman said that if a man has a lot of people like him, it means he is very charming. Link has more than ten girlfriends, which shows that he is very charming and there must be something about him that girls like.

Quentin's face darkened as he listened.

Link smiled and continued drinking and chatting.

After a brief gathering, Link returned to the crew to continue filming.

Currently, 80% of "Final Destination" has been completed, and the remaining scenes mainly include the beginning and the end, as well as many indoor scenes in the middle.

The movie begins with a class from Abraham High School, led by two teachers, traveling to Paris, France. After everyone boarded the plane, the male protagonist Alex encountered an unexpected situation and shouted that the plane was about to explode, and then several people were kicked off the plane.

This plot was divided into two parts during filming. The exterior scenes were filmed at New York's Kennedy International Airport. For this purpose, Link invested 150 million US dollars to buy a retired Boeing 747 passenger plane and blew it up in the sky outside the airport.

The interior scenes mainly include the students entering the cabin, Alex dreaming, and the shots of accidents happening during the flight.

This part of the plot was filmed at Universal Studios.

Universal Studios is the largest film studio in Hollywood. Inside there are modern cities, ancient buildings, magic castles, underwater worlds, etc.

There are scenes suitable for filming air crash movies. Movies and TV series such as "Unsung Heroes", "After the Crash", and "Air Catastrophe" have all been filmed here.

"Act 2, Scene 1, Shot 3, Begin!"

After the script was signed, the cast and crew began to work, each performing their own duties.

Link sat in the director's chair, holding the director's script, and quietly watched the picture on the monitor.
