Hollywood Production

Chapter 22: Keanu Reeves

The crew will not throw Keanu Reeves in the garbage heap as Duke said. Several people and the assistant sat him on a chair. After that, Reeves sat there with his head lowered, wondering what was he thinking.

Sophia asked someone to look into the situation and quickly figured out what was going on.

"He went to Johnny Depp's bar before he came here," she said to Duke, who was sitting across from her. "That bar is where a lot of young Hollywood actors go, including Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, and River Phoenix. They are known as the Hollywood drug trio."

"Even if they usually smoke heroin, it has nothing to do with me!" Duke tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, his tone a little cold, "but now he has ruined my shooting plans!"

Robin Grande, who didn't come to the set today, was the first to arrive. Not long after, Keanu Reeves' agent also arrived on the set.

In an office on the set, Duke and Robin were sitting close together. The agent and Keanu Reeves, who was more awake, sat opposite them. The agent seemed to have a headache.

"I'm so sorry," the agent had said several times.

"Mr. Reeves not only disrupted my shooting plan, he also caused damage to the set which will delay the crew's time." Duke's tone was very flat, indicating that the matter has already happened and how to solve it is the most important thing.

"I'm sorry," the agent continued.

"I really hope these words come out of Mr. Reeves' mouth." Duke looked at Keanu Reeves, who had regained consciousness. "It's him who should apologize the most!"

"You..." Reeves raised his head suddenly, staring straight at Duke.

Duke looked at him with sharper eyes, without any intention of backing down. The current Keanu Reeves is not the good man he will become in the future, but a veritable bastard.

The agent whispered a few words in Reeves' ear, and he gradually lowered his head, and said to Duke, "I'm sorry!"

Duke nodded his head to accept the apology and gestured that they should continue to work together as a complete stalemate would not benefit anyone.

Duke then left the office, what Robin Grande could extort from the other side was his business.

Although Keanu Reeves apologized, the relationship between the two was even colder, and Duke didn't care. In fact, from the beginning of the preparation, he kept a distance from all the actors. Apart from work, he did not want to have too much intersection with them.

A week later, after filming the subway scene, the crew ended filming in the studio. Dennis Hooper also became the first major actor to leave the set, Robin Grande specially packed a bar in Universal Studios, to throw a little farewell party for him.

"Dennis, you did a great job!"

Raising his glass and touching it with Dennis Hooper, Duke drank the wine and said, "I hope we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future."

"I hope so too." Dennis Hooper also drank his glass of wine.

One of the basic skills needed to survive in Hollywood is giving people compliments.

Leaving the chaotic crowd, Duke returned to the quiet bar, ordered another glass of wine, and sat on the high chair, and drank it slowly.

He was under more pressure than everyone else over there, he couldn't relax at all, and he didn't feel like partying.

"You don't like fun?" A female voice with an Australian accent sounded next to him.

Duke shook his head slowly. In high school and college, he participated in a lot of parties, and he did not reject that kind of atmosphere.

"You don't fit?" the voice continued to ask, "Or do you want to maintain the director's authority?"

"Miss Watts, how much authority do you think I have on the set?"

Duke turned his head and looked at the petite girl who sitting next to him. She had golden curly hair flowing down her shoulders, with two small front teeth that were slightly protruding under her open lips.

Naomi Watts laughed directly. She has worked in this circle in Australia for many years, so she is not a rookie. It can be seen that the crew is maintained because of the contracts. The young director does not have much authority.

She stretched out her right hand to Duke, "Hi let's get reacquainted, Naomi Watts, from Australian."

Shaking her hand, Duke said in the same way, "Duke Rosenberg, a native of Los Angeles."
