From the perspective of James Cameron's team, there are not many actors who have been tough with James Cameron. However, they finally succumbed to the huge pressure of liquidated damages and took the initiative to admit their mistakes to James Cameron.
So after these people were slightly surprised, they still had expressions as if they were watching a show.
Wang Yi and James Cameron had a falling out, which was what they expected, after all, Wang Yi has that kind of character.
But they expected that within two days, Wang Yi would take the initiative to apologize to James Cameron, and then continue to come back and be scolded like a grandson.
This was also the case with celebrities in the past.
However, they obviously underestimated Wang Yi.
Not only did Wang Yi give up his job, he also shut down his phone so that you can’t find me even if you try to find him.
When James Cameron saw Wang Yi give up his job, his temper grew.
After Wang Yi left, he got angry again and almost cursed all the venue staff, props, lighting, etc., and then called it a day.
…
There is a competition with Wang Yi on the second day, so it is naturally impossible for him to come to film.
After James Cameron arrived on the set, he went step by step, shooting other people's scenes first, and then doing post-production on the previously shot scenes.
As for Wang Yi's matter, he put it aside for now.
He has experienced this kind of thing where superstars dare to contradict him before. Anyway, without exception, those superstars will take the initiative to apologize to him on the second day.
So he was not worried at all that Wang Yi would really dare to give up his choice.
Next morning on the third day, at 8:30.
James Cameron set up his plane and waited for Wang Yi's arrival.
However, even after waiting until 9 o'clock, James Cameron could not wait for Wang Yi.
James Cameron also knew that he was really tempered that day, and it was because some personal matters brought his emotions to the set.
Moreover, I had promised Wang Yi before that I would not lose my temper on the set.
As a result, Wang Yi lost his temper many times on the set.
So he was also at fault in this matter.
But he didn't care.
Before he came here, all the celebrities who had trouble with him on the first day basically came to the venue on the second day and only took the initiative to apologize to him.
Today, he was also thinking about Wang Yi taking the initiative to apologize. As long as Wang Yi comes to the scene, everything will be business as usual.
Just act like nothing happened.
This is already his biggest compromise as a director to an actor.
However, I never expected that Wang Yi would really quit.
From 8:30 in the morning until 10 o'clock.
Wang Yi didn’t come either.
Those other actors have also heard rumors about other stars. Anyone who had a hard time with James Cameron would basically come back the next day and take the initiative to apologize to James Cameron.
They originally thought that Wang Yi would be like this today.
However, when they waited until 10 o'clock, they still didn't see Wang Yi arrive. They were all secretly talking.
"Wang Yi is so strong."
"It seems that he is a very real person as he usually behaves in front of the camera. I thought it was just a personality before."
"I really admire him. But can the film continue without him?"
And everyone under James Cameron was secretly surprised at this time.
"Oh my god, the king really didn't come.?"
"It's over, it's over, it's time for the tyrant to go berserk this time."
A staff member with gray hair was also a little helpless at this time.
Schwarzenegger was scolded by James Cameron for nearly half an hour just for 20 minutes.
He witnessed it with his own eyes.
It was really like a volcanic eruption at that time.
No one present dared to say a word.
Today, Wang Yi was two hours late.
The tyrant on this set is not angry anymore.
However, to his surprise, James Cameron remained sitting in his chair without saying a word.
It was not until 10:30 that Wang Yi still did not come for two full hours.
James Cameron finally gritted his teeth.
If you have no other choice, give Wang Yi a call first.
After all, it was indeed his fault in this matter.
And the most important thing is that this "Space Jam 3" is not like other movies.
In other films, if an actor is not satisfied with him, he can change him at will. At any time, there will be many people trying to squeeze into his crew.
But the star of "Space Jam 3" must be the most popular superstar in NBA today.
That way, as many people as possible will pay.
Moreover, Wang Yi's usual flying and escaping performances on the basketball court are exactly in line with the setting of "Space Jam".
It can be said that he is the perfect candidate for "Space Jam 3" today.
So this lead actor really cannot be replaced.
Moreover, Sony has already decided that this film must star Wang Yi.
So James Cameron really can't be replaced.
So after being silent for two full hours, he finally said to the assistant next to him: "Call him."
The assistant responded immediately, nodded, and then dialed Wang Yi's number.
But when he checked in, he was still very surprised. In the past, other actors had apologized to the director, but he had never seen James Cameron take the initiative to call an actor.
Soon, a blind voice came from the phone: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
When James Cameron heard the voice, what he was thinking about was not "missing someone, missing someone the most."
But "I really want to kill someone, someone I want to kill most".
"Farke! Amateur actors are just amateur actors without any professionalism, Farke!"
His sudden rage once again silenced all the dozens of people on the set, and no one dared to make even a single sound.
Even their breathing is much lighter than before, as if they are afraid that if they breathe louder, James Cameron will spray them out.
After James Cameron became furious, he once again scolded the staff on the set, and then roared: Call it a day.
Seeing James Cameron flinging his sleeves and walking away, everyone present, whether it was the staff or the actors, were secretly surprised - Wang Yi is really brave.
Not just confronting the director.
Right after I finished it, I shut down my phone directly and you can’t find me even if you want to look for it.
It seems that he is determined to give up his choice.
In other words, he doesn't care about the $20 million liquidated damages at all.
This time, everyone in the team under James Cameron finally understood that Wang Yi was not like ordinary actors, he really dared to give up his talents.
…
James Cameron's residence is in the studio.
It's further inside than the accommodation for general staff.
He likes the feeling of making the set his home.
Chapter completed!
