Rowan did not leave immediately. He first removed his makeup and then walked towards the assistant director who was watching the camera. He had learned the name of this assistant director from the conversation with Milan.
Rowan clearly remembered that the assistant director had not drunk any water yet. After handing him a bottle, he smiled at Chen Hu's admiring gaze and said in a respectful tone:
"Director Walker, thank you for your hard work. I still have some questions. Can I ask you for your advice? This way, there will be fewer mistakes when we shoot tomorrow."
Assistant Director Walker nodded with a smile on his face. Being directly addressed as director naturally made him happier. Rowan's respectful attitude made him feel quite satisfied.
After a brief thought, Assistant Director Walker looked up and sized up Rowan's outstanding appearance. He nodded with satisfaction and said in an expectant tone:
"There will be a big group scene tomorrow. You will have to fight many people at the same time, and you need to pay attention to rationality and authenticity."
Rowan nodded quickly. He knew that Assistant Director Walker would emphasize his role more. He said with surprise "I will rehearse it carefully tonight and try to meet your requirements tomorrow."
Watching Rowan's departing back, assistant director Walker nodded secretly. Compared to Alessandro, who was conceited but still refused to accept his fate, Rowan would undoubtedly have a brighter future.
Then he shook his head. Who can tell the truth about such things?
Rowan looked around vigilantly. After making sure that no one was following him, he took out his phone and dialed Mary's number. After a while, Mary's steady voice came from the other end of the line "What's going on? Are you in trouble?"
"I didn't go to cause trouble, but trouble seems to have found me. Do you know Alessandro Vanilla? This guy seems to want to cause trouble for me, and he even threatened to cut my scenes out in the post-production editing. I..."
Without any hesitation, Rowan trusted Mary as always, just like in his previous life, and directly laid out everything to her, including his own actions and what happened to Alessandro.
The other end of the phone fell silent. After a burst of keyboard tapping, Mary's steady voice continued "A little-known actor, who had been quiet for a few years, seemed to have found a financial sponsor, who invested production of Face/Off. As a result, he was stuffed in as a price, but he was a step too late because you had already intervened."
Rowan was not surprised at all because he believed in Mary's ability, and he did not ask about the relationship between Alessandro and the financial sponsor. Who can tell the difference between things in Hollywood?
After pondering for a while, Rowan asked decisively: "If that's the case, then he doesn't have the power to interfere with the post-production editing?"
Mary thought for a while, and to Rowan's surprise, she denied it and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe he does have some relationship with David Permut. After all, things in Hollywood..."
Mary couldn't help but be silent. The face of David Permut appeared in his mind. He suppressed the urge to vomit and thought about it in a thousand ways.
"Why should you worry so much? We have the great director John Woo here. He has also invested no less than 20 million US dollars. He will not let David Permut do anything wrong. All you have to do is defeat Alessandro through normal means."
Normal means!
Are there normal means in Hollywood?
Rowan shrugged his shoulders, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
For three days in a row.
The shooting of the storyboards has been cleared up in the scattered patchwork. Rowan's solo scenes and the simple scenes with various characters have all been ended in a fairly quick manner.
The amazing efficiency made the atmosphere of the crew seem quite good. After get off work, people were talking and laughing, and discussing the interesting things that happened during the filming process.
Rowan was not squatting in the dormitory. He was following Nicolas Cage and looked quite excited at the big man whose hairline was moving back day by day.
Since he had to drive soon, Rowan did not drink moreover he was still underage so he won't take risk like this. He looked around, watching the men and women dancing in the colorful lights one after another.
"Hey, if you like any of them, go after them, but be sure to take safety precautions."
After taking a sip of wine, Nicolas Cage showed a drunken smile, then let out a long sigh and said.
His gaze was only looking forward, and after he took a deep breath, he couldn't help but sigh. His melancholy and confused eyes attracted many passionate gazes.
"I can't waste my time right now until I am something." Rowan stated but Nicolas didn't listen as he was knocked out.
Shaking his head he called Nicolas's agent and informed him to pick up Cage as he was blacked out.
After his agent came to take him back, Rowan also left but just as he reached his car he heard the sound of someone asking for help.
"Help! Help! Someone Help me"
Normally he would have run in the direction from where the voice came but since he has been sensitive lately he find out that the call for help only started after he reached his car, so he opened the car picked up his digital camera he just bought and went towards the direction from where the voice came.
He will still help but he will make sure to record it so as to not get caught in the wrong side of things.
Just as he reached the corner he saw two tall men grabbing the collar of a short man trying to robb him. Even in th cliches this was too much. Rowan saw the dumpster nearby and but the camera on it to start recording everything.
"Hey, don't you think it's a little old school to robbing someone like that." Rowan said as he started walking towards him
One of the tall men let go of the short man's collar and ran towards Rowan to punch him but Rowan just side stepped from the punch and tripped as he passed by causing him to fall on the ground.
BAM "Ahhh!" Cried the tall man as he broke his nose due to the fall.
The second tall man saw this as his eyes turned red and he ran to punch Rowan who once again dodged by stepping out of the way but this tall man was smart as he stopped himself from getting tripped by Rowan, but Rowan didn't wanted to wate his time in him so he grabbed his hand and did a shoulder throw slamming the second tall man onto the cemented pavement.
"Ahhhh!" cried the second tall man
"Brother! Damm you bastard die" the short man shouted as he ran towards Rowan with a knife in his hand redy to stab Rowan but he grabbed the hand holding the knife twisting it backwards.
"Aaaahhhh!" Short man cried in pain as he let go of the knife which Rowan kicked away to a distance then pushed the short man straight onto the wall.
BANG! Came the noise as the short man's head slammed onto the wall and he cried in pain.
"Someone help this man is going to kill us." the tall man with a broken nose shouted.
"Don't need to shout I will call the police myself after all I can let aan attempted murder on me just go like this." Rowan said as he walked towards the dumpster and picked up the digital camera to see that the video was being recorded.
"Haa! There isn't a scratch on you and all three of us are bleeding from serious injuries let's see who the police believes." said the tall man with broken nose.
"They will believe me because I have the video of the whole incident " Rowan said as he showed the camera to the trio.
"This is the Kodak DC120 it has a similar size and form factor as the DC40 and the DC50. Like the DC50, it also had a 3:1 zoom lens. However, it boasted a larger 1280×960 pixel CCD sensor and built-in photo flash. It had 2 megabytes of internal picture storage and supported CompactFlash external memory storage." Rowan said with a smile on his face.
Although they didn't know anything about what Rowan said they understood that they are fucked if this guy really called the police.
"Wait wait wait! Let's talk about this man, we didn't want to do this someone paid us to just beat you and if we get beaten instead than call the police and charge you with assault." said the second tall man who got sholder throw by Rowan.
"Yeah, I already know that but what does it matter it's not like you have any proof of what you said so I can only deal with you and find another chance to deal with the guy behind you." Rowan said
"Wait! I have a voice recording of him asking us to do all of this" said the man with broken nose and pulled out a tape recorder and played it for Rowan to listen, at once he knew that the voice belonged to Alessandro causing him to smile as he finally got this guy.
