Chapter 361: Chapter 345: Chaotic Set
"Let’s take a look at the romantic history of the well-known writer Mr. Wang Jian."
"At his first foray into film production, he was often seen in public alone with Ms. Naomi Watts, who later starred in ’Prison Break’ and ’Anomalies.’"
"During ’I’m so rich,’ the list of women expanded to include daughters of billionaires, waitresses, single mothers, and so on."
"By the time of ’Prison Break Transformation,’ he had fallen for a rising Brazilian supermodel, Ms. Gisele Bundchen."
"And in order to win her favor, he even went so far as to license ’Anomalies’ to Victoria’s Secret to launch a line of lingerie!"
In Queens County, New York, Wang Jian was sitting in an HBO studio, boredly flipping through a newspaper.
Actually, as long as the media habitually focused on gossip rather than analyzing how much money ’Anomalies’ lingerie could make, it already served his purpose.
Not to mention Wang Jian was still unmarried, and whom he had relationships with was entirely his freedom.
Even if he were married, the title of artist let him fear nothing.
Of course, just like everything has two sides,
this amulet was not omnipotent.
Wang Jian looked up and felt a headache coming on.
There, Shala Pie Anderson, the director of ’Prison Break Transformation,’ was discussing scenes with the lead and his supporting actress.
The weird atmosphere between Vera Farmiga and Gisele Bundchen was not hard to imagine.
More importantly, the German supermodel Heidi Krum and the visiting Naomi Watts were also occasionally glancing at each other.
"If I were just an executive at a film company, they wouldn’t act like this to avoid suspicions of ’hidden rules’!"
But...
For actresses and socialites, being the lover of an artist was actually a plus!
At that moment, the director finished talking to the two actresses and continued to direct things like lighting.
Naomi noticed Wang Jian’s gaze, tapped Vera’s shoulder, and the two of them laughed and walked over.
Heidi saw this and also whispered something in her friend Gisele’s ear.
The Brazilian girl paused and shifted her gaze from the script.
Then, it seemed she was about to do something as well.
"Shit!" Wang Jian cursed softly, "At least for a month, I can’t have any new scandals!"
He quickly averted his gaze and approached Ganni Versace, a fashion mogul in the crew on par with him.
"Mr. Versace, how do you feel about your first time shooting a drama?" Wang Jian asked with a smile, while still keeping an eye on the four women from the corner of his eye.
Fortunately, in the film and fashion industries, everyone paid great attention to status.
The gap in status stopped them from coming closer.
But...
Ganni Versace, a figure who had appeared under the spotlight countless times, seemed to finally find someone to confide in.
"Wang, what exactly should a fashion mogul like in the eyes of the audience be like?"
Huh?
Wang Jian paused for a moment, slightly surprised by Mr. Versace’s question.
"Should I be expressionlessly cold or deceptively smiley?" the Italian rambled on without noticing Wang Jian’s expression.
Come on!
You are a fashion mogul yourself, a big shot at par with Lafayette!
Moreover...
Although the show claimed to "integrate the true emotional experiences of Ganni Versace and was personally adapted by his friend, the well-known writer Wang Jian",
in practice, it was just a product made to cash in on popularity.
It’s just like Hollywood’s usual practice of exploiting industry specifics to create shoddy works meant to fleece investors!
Watching the fashion master so earnestly prepared, even somewhat nervous, Wang Jian didn’t know what to say.
Luckily, at that moment, the assistant director came over and quietly asked, "Mr. Wang, your cameo scene is next."
"Can we start?"
"Of course." Wang Jian shrugged apologetically at Versace.
Then, he quickly walked towards the chair facing the camera.
He walked so confidently, but it wasn’t because he had any confidence in his acting.
In this scene, two girls were confiding in each other, with one being introduced to the fashion industry.
Wang Jian was merely serving as a human backdrop here.
Once Gisele sat next to Wang Jian and Vera sat opposite, the director picked up the megaphone, "Scene three, act one, action!"
Wang Jian just felt Vera smirking at him, her eyes dancing and filled with allure.
"Cut! Vera, you’re supposed to be having a heart-to-heart with the supporting actress!"
"Not Julia Roberts in ’Bride Not Me,’ trying to steal the other’s boyfriend!"
Hmm...
Gisele Bundchen, first time on camera, was initially a bit nervous.
But when she heard the director say this, she immediately switched to another posture.
"Action!"
"Cut!"
"Miss Gisele, you’re supposed to sympathize deeply with the protagonist’s plight!"
"Not show off your love in front of her with your boyfriend!"
I freaking...
Wang Jian looked up and saw that apart from Ganni Versace, who was seriously reading the script, everyone else was looking at him with great interest.
"Come on, be professional," he muttered under his breath.
"Cut!"
This time the director didn’t shout but instead walked over.
"Mr. Wang," he paused for a moment, speaking softly, "Normally, when someone is talking, you should look at them."
"Uh... I think staring at the table doesn’t seem very natural."
"Understood." Wang Jian stretched his legs under the table and kicked twice forcefully. freёnovelkiss.com
But because the table was covered with a cloth, it was unclear whether he was kicking the same person.
"Perfect!" About twenty minutes later, this simple scene had finally finished shooting.
Wang Jian didn’t look at the two girls but walked back to his seat, brushing off his trousers as he went.
Hmm...
Vera and Gisele did the same, the first thing they did was pat down their tight jeans.
"Fortunately, my part is over; it shouldn’t be so strenuous from here on out!" Wang Jian glanced at the two girls glaring at each other and sighed softly.
But reality proved that he was far too naive!
"Mr. Ganni Versace, don’t be so stiff!"
"Uh... Mr. Ganni Versace, when you step with your left foot, you should swing your right arm."
"Mr. Ganni Versace..."
"Mr. Ganni..."
Wang Jian pressed his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode!
Thankfully in the United States, there were strict regulations on filming hours.
Otherwise, he would probably have died from spitting blood on set.
"Hey Wang, want to come to my apartment?" Vera came up asking, "Naomi will be there too."
Wang Jian looked up and saw Gisele standing up and also looking over here.
"Uh... I have to go back to the Upper West Side for a bit."
He finished talking and quickly got into his car.
"What was I thinking, why did I even take on the role of the chief producer?"
Wang Jian sat in the back seat of the car, looking out the window, feeling like there was no hope in life anymore.
"Right," his eyes suddenly lit up, "HBO is often managed by the deputy head."
"Tom...probably wouldn’t mind coming to the set regularly, right?"
