Chapter 907 Unspoken Rules Of The Industry
“Mr. Campbell, I'm afraid the issue is more complicated than it appears.”
Weston pulled Donald aside and explained softly, “We have actually reserved Violet Pavilion beforehand for the entire week. However, the famous director, Mario Cousteau, came over this morning and insisted that he needed the place for the next five days. That's why we had no choice but to give the place up. My plan was to have Geralt work out a schedule with Mario's film crew so that both parties can use Violet Pavilion. Wouldn't that be the perfect solution?”
Weston assumed that his idea was flawless.
Staring at him, Donald flatly asked, “Wes, let me ask you. If you were Mario, when would you be using Violet Pavilion?”
“In the daytime,” Weston replied without hesitation. “As many scenes occur during the day, it goes without saying that most of the shooting would occur then.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Since you're well aware that they'll take up the day, have you ever considered that you'll ruin the film crew's biological clocks by getting them to work the night shift?”
From a technical perspective, shooting day scenes at night wasn't a major issue.
As Violet Pavilion was a palace, filming would mostly occur indoors.
All one needed was sufficient lighting to achieve the desired effect.
It was just that filming throughout the night would be torturous for the crew.
With an awkward expression, Weston explained, “Mr. Campbell, it's not like we have a choice, as this is one of the unspoken rules of the industry. I might be a director but I am actually still new and junior compared to Mario. That's why I have to accord him due respect. On top of that, this is
Dragon Fide Entertainment's first movie. Without a track record, the management of Violet Pavilion would likely side with Mario by prioritizing his request to use the building.”
The unspoken rules mentioned by Weston were a real concern to them.
Given how famous Mario was, his movies would definitely sell very well even if they didn't win any awards.
As a result, Dynasty Studios would naturally want their sets to appear in big-budget films. It was the best form of advertisement to attract more production teams to shoot their movies there.
Hearing that, Donald patted Weston on the shoulder. “Wes, you're a great guy but sometimes can be too much of a pushover. The reason I established Dragon Fide Entertainment is not just to make money. My true goal is to elevate Dragon Fide Corporation's image through creative marketing. If we abide by the unspoken rules, wouldn't we become just like them? Anyway, you don't have to get involved. All you need to do is take me to them.”
Weston knew from Donald's words that the matter would soon blow up.
Just as he hesitated about taking Donald to see the management, Ronson approached them with the contract they had signed with Violet Pavilion.
“This is the contract for the rental of the set.”
Upon taking it in his hand, Donald commented calmly, “All right then. Since we're in the right, this will be easy to resolve. Let's go get our film set back.”
As Donald set off the moment he finished, Ronson followed him without thinking twice.
As for the other managers, they stared at Weston and asked, “Mr. Tanner, should we go with them?”
