Chapter 313 Alternative Persuasion
After more than 20 days of relaxation in Hawaii, Chen Fan returned to Hollywood alone. Li Jun flew directly back to China from Hawaii. Originally, Chen Fan wanted to go with him, but something happened in the United States.
Specifically, there was a problem with Nick's shooting, and more specifically... Nick's emotional collapse.
When he filmed a scene where his own character broke up with his previous girlfriend, Nick burst into tears. After that, Nick never got better. He seemed to be completely immersed in his memories and his emotions could no longer return to normal.
The filming of the miniseries can only be paused first. Chen Fan got the news during the vacation, but he did not go back immediately. Just stop for a while. It is rare to compensate Li Jun for going out for a vacation. Of course, he can't give up because of this.
...
When he returned to Hollywood, Chen Fan immediately went to Nick's house with Mark to see him.
"Why did Nick collapse?" Chen Fan asked Mark, who was driving to Nick's house in Mark's car.
Mark said in the car, "It's just that he's too involved. This show is his memory with me...That memory is really very difficult for him."
When filming, you fall into emotions. This can not only happen to the actors, but also to the director. Even the emotions the director bears stronger than the actors. As long as the actors understand the feelings of the characters, the director must control all emotions. Whether it is negative or positive, the director must keep them in his head... If the emotions are too strong, of course they will collapse.
"I see."
Mark sighed and said, "Nick is too serious about this show...or he intends to put all his feelings in it... I don't know what to say, but he's just too devoted anyway."
If you use an idiom to describe it, it would be a devil!
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I believe he will get better. In fact, this is not bad. Using such feelings to shoot this miniseries will definitely be very good."
Mark did not agree, saying: "Nick crossed that line... Many people crossed that line and never came back..."
The state of being obsessed with is actually the strongest state for an art worker. In such a state, his creativity will continue to burst out and create powerful works. People say that madman and genius are between the front line. This is the reason. You are a genius on the line. If you cross the line, you will be admitted to a mad asylum.
Chen Fan comforted and said, "Don't worry, I think Nick has experienced too many things recently, so he will definitely be fine." Nick's condition is easy to solve for Chen Fan. He helped Nick recover his sanity in an instant... But after doing this, Nick's creative ability will inevitably be affected. Chen Fan doesn't want such a result, so he is ready to induce Nick to come out. Doing this is a bit like a psychologist.
The two parked their cars at the corner of the street. After getting off the car, Chen Fan looked at the surrounding environment. This was an old community. The houses were dilapidated, the streets were covered with messy garbage, and some idle homeless people were still swaying.
"Nick lives in a slum?" Chen Fan asked Mark.
Mark smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know before. I only realized that he lived in this place when he was sick."
No matter how bad Nick is, he is still the boss of a film company. Chen Fan did not expect Nick to live in this place. Chen Fan had already acquired Nick's company and gave Nick the money. He didn't use the money to improve his life...
The two walked up to the fourth floor and knocked on the door of Nick's apartment. The one who opened the door was Nick's secretary.
The secretary welcomed the two of them into the room.
The room seemed quite messy. Some unwashed clothes were piled over there. There were a lot of videotapes and piles of DVDs in one cabinet, and movie posters were posted everywhere on the wall.
Nick was sitting on the sofa and drinking with a bottle, not indifferent to the arrival of Mark and Chen Fan.
"How is he better?" Mark asked the secretary.
The secretary shook his head worriedly and said, "He has never spoken much, always drinking... I can't persuade him."
Mark nodded and sat next to Nick with Chen Fan. Nick's body smelled bad and his face was unshaven. He must have not taken good care of these days.
"Hey, Nick, how do you feel?" Mark asked with concern.
Nick glanced at Mark without saying a word, he raised the bottle and continued to drink.
Mark grabbed the bottle and Nick started to speak: "I'm fine, give me the wine." After that, he was about to grab the bottle.
Chen Fan pressed Nick's hand and asked, "Why did you become like this?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen... I let you down. I overestimated myself. It turns out that I can't shoot that script at all." Nick lowered his head and said, "I can't shoot it anymore..."
Chen Fan patted Nick on the shoulder and said, "I can understand."
"No! No!" Nick suddenly stood up and shouted, "You can't understand! How could you understand?!"
"Nick, Nick. Calm down!" Mark quickly stopped Nick from going crazy.
Chen Fan stood up and exerted force, Nick was pressed back to the sofa by his strength.
"This drama is a portrayal of your life. You originally thought you could face your previous experiences, but during the filming, you found that you couldn't face it at all...or you were not ready to face it!" Chen Fan said lightly.
When Nick heard Chen Fan's words, he was stunned for a moment and sat on the sofa with a decadent face.
"It is good for a person to be nostalgic, but it is bad if it is too much. I am acquiring your company not for the sake of Mark's face or the assets of your company. In fact, what I want to acquire the most is you! I don't value any assets, I value people more. I will feel relieved to have such nostalgic people help me handle the company's affairs." Chen Fan continued.
Hearing this, Nick looked up at Chen Fan.
"I am also a nostalgic person, so I know nostalgic people are all people who value emotions. You touched me with your employees' feelings. My nostalgic is different from you. I am standing backwards from now on. You have walked from now on, and I can only say that you are too... too emotional." Chen Fan originally wanted to say that he was weak, looking at Nick's state. He changed to a word with a weaker tone.
Nick frowned and began to think.
"I know this script has the meaning of commemorating the past, but you can't deny it. You also want to use this drama to succeed. Am I right?"
Nick sighed and whispered: "Yes...I'm going to take a gamble and see if I can make a good movie. But I failed, and I am destined to be a loser in my life..."
Chen Fan suddenly laughed and said, "Nick, you have no confidence. Maybe your confidence has disappeared from the past years. But I will tell you now! Nick, you can make a good drama!"
"How can I continue like this?" Nick said decadently, "I gave up. I will be like this in my life."
Mark felt complicated when he saw his friend so decadent, and now he didn't know what to say. It can be said that Nick is like this now. His departure back then was also an important reason.
"You gave up like this?" Chen Fan shouted loudly. "So what should you do with your employees? If you work, I and your employees won't get along. Do you think I will support them for nothing?"
Speaking of his subordinates, Nick stopped talking, and he didn't know what to say. His subordinates all had some problems. He had been with those people long enough to know what their temper was, but what about Chen Fan? He didn't know either.
"I still remember when we talked about the acquisition. How much you cared about your employees... Now if you think about your own status, are you worthy of your employees? It turns out that your nature is still a selfish person!" Chen Fan began to blame directly. "Do you think the script of this drama was written by you, and you are the director, and this drama is yours? No, it's all the people in your company!"
"Your job is really hard, I think you deserve it, it's your duty. But what about those employees? This movie was made to commemorate your name! Although the film company is named after you, there are also their memories there. Do you think you are selfish?"
After a long silence, Nick looked up and said, "I am indeed very selfish, I'm sorry for them."
"What's the use of saying this?" Chen Fan retorted fiercely, "You should face your past and walk back to the present from the past. Or you shoot this drama completely as a professional director, you take yourself to a different level, and you treat the script as something that has nothing to do with you."
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Nick said so.
Chen Fan was very angry. He grabbed Nick's collar and picked him up.
"If you don't take photos, my investment money will be wasted. Do you think I'll give up?" Chen Fan stared at Nick with a cold face.
When Nick saw Mark's serious look, he knew that Chen Fan was not as simple as he seemed, but he didn't care anymore, so he still looked depressed. He looked completely useless as if he couldn't stand the wall.
Chen Fan gave up his hand and said to Nick: "You have caused me a lot of losses, just wait for death!"
Nick still looked indifferent, as if he had no love for him.
Chen Fan carried Nick's clothes and said coldly: "Follow me to the company right away, I will fire them all in front of you! I will make these people who contribute to you look down on you!"
"You! Go and call me and call everyone in the company here! Immediately!" Chen Fan shouted at Nick's secretary. The secretary was stunned for a moment, then took out the phone to notify him.
"No call! No call!" Nick stopped him immediately. He rushed over with all his strength and snatched the secretary's phone and threw it hard on the ground. The decadence just now had disappeared.
"You should understand now that this drama is not yours, but your team members!" Chen Fan looked at Nick and said, "Do you want to make all your team members unemployed because of yourself? As far as I know, most people in the company have poor financial conditions. What kind of life do you think they will live after losing this career? Will they be homeless or become criminals directly? Will you, the secretary, go to work in your old business again?!"
"Enough, stop talking!" Nick suddenly shouted, "I will finish the show!"
Chen Fan smiled coldly and said, "Don't think I'm so perfunctory. If the series comes out, I think it's not good. I will fire all your entire team! Think about it yourself!"
He gave Mark a wink, and Chen Fan immediately walked outside. Mark looked at Nick's angry face and he immediately followed him out.
Outside the door, he saw Chen Fan with a calm face.
"Okay, this matter has been resolved. Nick, who is doing his best, is back." Chen Fan said lightly.
Mark looked at Chen Fan with a little speechless look. Chen Fan will always give people surprises. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
