Portia finished the day's filming.
It was much smoother than yesterday.
She seemed to get into the mood more easily.
But as soon as she got into the mood, all her scenes were completed.
Portia rested in the crew and watched the other actors.
She mainly wanted to learn.
Portia's acting skills and abilities were the lowest in the entire crew.
This was a well-known fact.
But she had James as her backer.
In fact, Portia didn't even know.
James wasn't her backer.
In the past two days, the crew had been saying that Portia had slept with James.
Portia knew it was a rumor.
But she couldn't do anything about it.
Even if she explained, no one would believe her.
She also knew who started the rumor.
It was definitely Aulisa's work.
Pa —
Just then, someone patted Portia's shoulder heavily.
Portia was watching the filming in front. Caught off guard, she was almost scared out of her wits.
"Hi, Portia, you're here."
Portia turned around and realized that it was Gaia.
"Gaia … Why are you here?"
"I should be the one asking you that. Why are you here? Did Chen send you here? "Gaia asked in confusion.
At this moment, Aulisa saw Gaia's face and immediately went up to her. "Portia, you've brought an irrelevant person to the crew again, and she's even disrupting the filming process. Do you really think that no one can stop you?"
Aulisa raised her voice on purpose, as if she was afraid that the crew didn't know her.
Portia blushed and whispered, "Gaia, let's go. Let's talk over there."
"You go first. I have something to do," Gaia said.
"What?"
"You don't think I'm here for you, do you?"
"Uh …"
Gaia glanced at Aulisa. "Who's this idiot woman?"
"Who are you calling an idiot woman? Do you know where this is? "Aulisa raised her voice even higher.
This time, she really affected the progress of the filming.
"Let's take a ten-minute break." James stood up from the director's chair and walked over.
"Ms. Gaia, hello. You're here."
"Hello, Mr. James." Gaia shook hands with James.
Gaia and James were not familiar with each other. During the filming of Abduction, James had come over to help with a few scenes, including Gaia's scenes. In addition, Gaia was the motion director for Abduction, so they had interacted before.
This time, James also needed some action support. He had a good impression of Gaia.
Gaia was a very creative person when it came to choreography.
That was why he had asked Steven for Gaia's contact information.
Aulisa's expression changed when she saw that Gaia actually knew James, and that James was the one who called her over.
Portia was also surprised that Gaia knew James.
"Ms. Gaia is the choreographer I hired. Your name is Aulisa, right? You'd better keep a low profile in the crew. Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. "James glanced at Aulisa.
He was just too lazy to ask about Aulisa's little tricks, but it did not mean that he was completely unaware of them.
James had been an assistant director for more than 20 years. He knew the dirty tricks in a crew like the back of his hand.
If it was not for the bigger picture, he would have just chased Aulisa away.
James would rather have an actress like Portia, who did not know anything but kept a low profile.
He would not have an actress like Aulisa, who only had a little bit of experience and acted lawlessly in the crew.
Gaia's visit this time was purely due to their friendship.
She did not receive a single cent in return. It was completely voluntary.
Who was Gaia?
She might not have been famous in the past.
But she was not completely unknown now.
Abduction was like a box office record shredder.
Box office records were broken one after another.
For example, the first-day box office yesterday. Abduction had already broken the first-day box office and reached 150 million dollars.
It had reached 150 million USD, and on all the major media platforms, Kidnapped's ratings were also very high.
Now, no one could guess where Abduction's ending point would be.
Several movies had already quietly changed their release dates.
All to avoid Abduction's sharpness.
And Gaia, as an important character and also the choreographer, also received a lot of attention.
To put it bluntly, Gaia's current status was higher than most of the actors in this crew.
"Gaia, I'm sorry for offending the actors just now."
Gaia shrugged. "It's fine. Let's talk about the filming."
"Portia, I'll go first. We'll talk when we're free."
"Oh, okay …" Portia nodded somewhat stiffly.
After James and Gaia left, Portia looked at Aulisa mockingly.
No matter how happy you were, you would still be the one who suffered in the end.
Aulisa was even more furious.
She realized that she always suffered in front of Portia.
It seemed that from the day of the audition, she could not gain any advantage over Portia.
Portia did not leave. Instead, she stayed with the crew.
Only then did she know that Gaia was the choreographer hired by James.
Their movie, Apocalypse Now, was not an action movie, so they did not hire an action director.
Gaia's work was not much. It was just a few ordinary fighting scenes.
Portia waited until the crew finished before looking for Gaia.
"Gaia, let's have dinner together."
"Okay." Gaia nodded. "By the way, do you want to watch the movie I'm in?"
"Sure." Since Gaia invited her, Portia would not refuse.
Actually, she also wanted to see what movie Gaia was in.
But she also knew that all the movies that were released at the same time as Kidnapped had become cannon fodder.
The movies that were released the week before Kidnapped had their box office halved again and again. The daily box office fell by more than 80%.
If it was a small, unknown production, the outcome would be even more tragic.
It might not even reach 100,000 US dollars in a single day.
It was even possible that they wouldn't even get a screening.
That was the scary thing about Kidnapped.
The media was singing praises. Even the competitors in the box office gave up.
Now that Steven was in the limelight, no one wanted to be on bad terms with him.
Even the Big Six of Hollywood wanted to work with Steven.
Although they were sniping Steven's movies, it did not mean that they were his enemies.
Sniping other movies was a tradition in Hollywood. After all, everyone was in the same industry. Also, they were trying to prevent Steven's studio from getting bigger. ()
