"Klink, come over here, set up the lighting rig! And you, um... what's your name again? Right, Bright, move that thing over there, tell them to clear the area, and make it quick!"
As the director's assistant's voice echoed, the room in the motel bustled with activity. The staff of "Pulp Fiction" was arranging the setting under the supervision of a director's assistant, preparing for the upcoming shoot. Meanwhile, Director Adrian was on the other side, discussing the scene with Bruce Willis.
Just as Adrian had anticipated, a bottomed-out John Travolta only pondered for a few minutes before agreeing. He took only a $100,000 salary—of course, a share of the box office was still to be written into the contract. After all, despite his downturn, he was still a long-established star, and if the box office flopped, he wouldn't get much anyway.
