Original subtitles

"The film industry is a bleak pit of money;

a long plastic corridor where thieves and pimps are free

and good men die like dogs." Hunter S. Thompson

Come on folks, let's not be so negative.

Well, good independent films are getting harder and harder to make.

There is no money, no audience, no interest. Wails upon wails.

We are filmmakers, artists.

It is our responsibility to find a way.

And what if you have to do some things you don't want to

to continue your dreams.

I will always take that risk.

I play Crush McLellan.

He is a character who is divided between regulating his own morality

and the overwhelming thirst for revenge.

Don't laugh. It was profitable.

The best part of that movie was that I met Sebastian Grove.

He was the line producer.

Here he is with his assistant, Will.

Sebastian is a wonderful producer, a passionate filmmaker.

Totally dedicated to his art.

You are one of the 17 producers

which were mentioned in "Bullet Factor".

- Yes. - Were you the line producer?

- That's right. - It's not a creativity post, is it?

Not.

You know that "Time" magazine called the film:

"The most unjustified depiction of gun violence."

Yes, I read something like that.

Poor Sebastian. He received a ditamai bullet.

After it was over,

I asked him if he wanted to produce the film I wanted to make.

For some time we had a project that we were developing in England.

It's an adaptation of the Victorian novel "The Tides of Reason."

As a producer it was exactly the kind of film I wanted to make.

I knew Sebastian would be passionate about the project.

Not just producing it, but taking care of it creatively.

I don't think any of us were interested in doing it

boring films, without vision and meaning created by a committee.

I've been working with a writer for years, Chris Morgan.

I met Jennifer in LA at a charity event.

Fashion Aid.

Raising awareness of poverty in Africa through fashion.

He was a waiter.

He served me a glass of champagne,

then he reached into his pocket and took out the script.

He was a little sweaty.

I knew she would be perfect for the role. I begged her to read the first page.

I thought I could at least read a page.

I did and that's how I fell in love with "The Tides Of Reason".

Yeah, Chris was great, but...

Jennifer appointed an English director. Garry Duvane.

Gary is a very creative theater director that I have worked with in the past.

He also directed films.

I immediately saw the potential.

With the right director it had "Oscar" written on it.

Then I found out that Gary had given the script

to a low-budget film financier in LA

Ronald Krapner.

I loved it like crazy.

I had met with Ronald before I gave the script to Sebastian.

So I had the script,

the star, a director and a possible financier.

Pretty much everything we needed to create the film.

- And I did... - A movie with Jennifer Tilly!

My chance at an Oscar.

The chance of my life.

My dream project.

My worst nightmare.

MADE IN ROMANIA

Sebastian! Here!

I know all these buildings look the same.

This place is huge.

I know, they all get less, don't worry.

I'm glad to see you.

Everyone has already come and...

What is Will doing? What are you doing?

Filming "Lost in LaMancia 2".

Smart!

follow me All.

Yes, all of them. The entourage.

Will, I didn't know you were so talented.

Chris gave us a wonderful opportunity.

Absolute. I like the way my character

she suffers for her beliefs.

Her life is... smeared. Dirty.

I want us to use real earth.

Absolutely! Yes!

- I want to have real gel under my nails. - Absolutely, I agree with you.

Sweat and real mess.

I'd love to see you literally roll in the mud.

Ronald Krapner called again.

He really wants to finance the film and let's start as soon as possible.

"Ronnie Krapner."

The name does not fill you with confidence.

Money is money.

Yeah, but he produces low-budget crap.

He will probably suggest that we film it in Romania.

Give it a chance.

He's very excited about a tax break and can't wait to meet you.

I wanted to get the money from friends.

I was a line producer, I had made a fortune for several friends.

However, you know what they say:

"A friend in Hollywood is someone who will stab you in the forehead."

I arrived at the headquarters of Ronald Krapner Productions.

The guys who gave us "Ghost Surgeon".

And...

Ghost Surgeon 2.

- Hi! - Sebastian, right?

And.

Oh my gosh, I love your project. It's great.

Jennifer Tilly is my favorite actress.

Have you started filming yet?

Bambi, calm down.

He gets excited when he sees a video camera.

I'm Ronald.

Films special scenes for DVD.

- This is my portrait. - Bambi played in all my movies.

It's a small advantage.

Her bra falls off in the blink of an eye.

Ronnie! Don't listen to him.

Get in.

I played in this and that.

I think you like horror movies a lot.

They are sold, dear.

I'm about to release Ghost Surgeon 3: Heart Attacker.

Bun.

- Aşadar, "Tides Of Reason". - Da.

It's inspired by an old book, right?

Yes. It's a wonderful, relatively obscure Victorian novel.

I haven't read it.

- It's public domain, right? - Yes of course.

When Jennifer gave me the script I didn't think I was going to like it.

Who wants to see some Brits whining?

i am american

But I have to tell you that it impressed me.

Very much.

Some of the most talented actresses tried to produce it.

I have loved the novel since I was little.

It was among the first scripts I delegated

when I had my film company.

Do you regret missing out on the chance to play Aggie?

Absolut!

With all due respect to Jennifer,

but this is a role that maybe was written for me.

Actually it was.

Yes, Aggie is a very complex character.

Passionate, intuitive, clever.

It's a role that required a person

with real dramatic depth.

Someone who can get into the shoes of the character

and to truly understand the desperation of working class poverty.

And, of course, someone who can speak with an accent.

It's a universal story.

Do you have it from Universal?

No, I meant it has a universal message.

Absolut.

I also like the English Yorkshire approach.

Yes? Then it's wonderful.

For some reason I thought you only make films in Romania.

I don't make films only in Romania.

Not. That's great because I want to shoot the whole movie on location in Yorkshire.

Yeah sure. You won't do it with me.

As I said, Tides of Reason was a wonderful book.

But very difficult to adapt.

I just wanted to make sure you would film the best parts of Jennifer.

I don't think I have to tell you in words. Some "meat".

- Meat. - Some ass, some tits.

Nipples.

- Nothing libidinous. - Not.

Good. Let's talk about distribution.

Jennifer is the star.

If we are going to collaborate, I need at least one more star

or someone from category B.

Good. Yes, but it depends on the budget,

but I think I can bring some C category, a D...

Maybe even a "double D".

- A double D? You're funny. - Thank you.

Seriously, who the hell wants to see some D's?

Play special characters.

spells

Get me an A and some C's.

How about an A, a dash B, C and a few D's in the pile?

Sebastian be refined. This is a project with a hoop.

Bambi! Can you get me another cereal bar?

And a sweetener.

The e.

Honestly, I don't have high expectations.

Alo!

Ronald. Hello!

Yes. Yes, I liked it too.

And.

8 million dollars?

Are you giving us $8 million? Seriously?

No, no, of course we want to!

Ronald, that's amazing!

No, I have no problem starting right away.

The sooner, the better.

Dear good!

In honor of Ronald Krapner.

Our new executive producer.

He talked about a tax break that I don't understand yet, but...

Money is money.

But we have to do it in Romania.

And.

I thought you were firmly against filming in Romania.

I didn't really say that.

You said it would be artistic suicide.

Let's be positive.

With 8 million dollars we can make Romania

to look exactly like England in the Victorian era.

In honor of Ronald Krapner and "The Tides Of Reason".

London, England. Pre-production begins.

Production Offices, Wardour Street

Erica Jones. Costume designers

Cedric Winters. Director de imagine.

Shots.

how is it going

Yes. Good. Very good.

The distribution of roles is in progress.

We are currently in discussions with Jason Flemyng.

It's B category, but it's good.

Jason Flemyng on the set of "The Cod Piece".

The script was excellent.

I rarely get to read a role as good as Jasper's.

Politics, romance.

The fact that he only works three days a week.

Chris... the scene on page 67.

Just a moment.

Yes, in which Jasper meets Aggie.

In the barn, yes.

I like how you wrote it. The rain, everything.

But I think you can take it further.

What are you thinking about?

Jasper's sexual frustration.

He was forbidden Aggie's body until the beginning of the third act.

I think his frustration should be...

Animalistic.

- Animalistic? - Yes.

Primitive sex. Animal.

This is what I want. Animal!

In the weekend we leave for Bucharest.

I'm meeting with Roland's accountant today

to see if I understand the tax reduction thing.

And to sign some papers.

I looked a thousand times over all the documentation

about tax cuts.

I think I need a "Temptation Guide".

It's very simple.

And.

Practically...

If you spend $8 million,

the British government will give Mr. Krapner a $2.4 million refund.

Petrecerea de lansare "The Tides of Reason".

First of all, I think we should thank him

to Chris for the excellent job he does with the script.

And thanks to Sebastian,

which raised more money than we expected.

- Thank you. - And... the gorgeous Jennifer.

Because she is wonderful as always.

And because he supports the project.

In honor of the creation of a miracle in Romania.

Tides of Reason!

And Owen says, "God, not the stableman!"

He thinks he's the star of the movie.

Terrible.

Cedric Winters. The best cinematographer in the industry.

We're making this movie out of passion, aren't we?

- Passion and art. - Don't be so gay.

Eu?

You are the "Swordsman of Courland".

I contradict you, sir.

You are the basket of chocolate chimneys.

Butt bandit.

The cocoa knight.

It's disgusting, isn't it?

- Hi! - Hi Erica!

- Everything is okay? - Not really. We have to talk.

Sorry, I'm going to...

It's related to Gary.

It keeps mixing...

He's the director, so it makes sense that he has the final say...

Mill workers did not wear ball gowns with plunging necklines.

That's right.

There is one more thing.

I think he...

stole some panties from Jennifer.

- Abducted? - Shot.

- What the? - Missing.

Jennifer's panties?

Sebastian...

How strange she is.

It reminds me of my wife.

What do you think of a deleted image aspect?

Let's keep the color spectrum within narrow parameters.

Yes. That's great.

Let's embody the bitterness of existence in the film.

What are you doing?!

- Gary, get off me! - Listen!

What are you doing?! Gary, get off me!

Come on! You must know how I feel about you!

- What happened to you?! - I can't help it!

I've been meaning to say this for years.

I'm in love with you!

For God!

I love you madly!

Listen to me, Gary, you've been drinking!

Finish! Stop it!

Gary!

- Get off her! - Leave me!

I love her!

Get that damn camera out of my face!

Four hours later...

Thanks for the call, Sebastian. how is it going

Very good.

I'm almost done with the distribution.

Most of the costumes are finished. Everything looks fantastic.

And we have a director of photography.

- British, I hope. - Absolutely. Very British.

It's definitely a British film.

Good. We have to make the taxman happy.

Look, we have a problem.

- Gary Duvane. - Yes?

Unfortunately, we had to lay him off, sort of.

What you said?

Did you fire the director?

What kind of idiotic maneuver was that?

"A problem?" Dear good!

- You're kidding me, aren't you? - Not at all.

Honestly, I was glad I left.

The scenario did not go as we hoped.

And who the hell wants to go to Romania?

Not you. Isn't that right, honey?

Instead I directed the kung-fu ballet film, "Fists of Desire".

That's an Oscar contender.

Not that Victorian crap.

Come on, Jennifer, let me get you some food.

- Yes, I'm the boss! - Ronald, I know.

- The boss! - Seriously, what did he...

- What the hell did he do? - Honestly, it was disgusting.

Not to mention it was very embarrassing for Jennifer.

Did he ride her?

- Was drunk. - What's with you?

- What is the problem? - Of course it matters.

I close the project. It's over.

Not!

You don't have to stop it.

Did you fire the director? Who the hell are you?

I have a bunch of directors begging me to be part of the team.

- English directors? - Yes, British directors.

- Don't take me for granted, you liar. - I understand.

Without an English director,

we don't have a tax break, you morons.

- The money is safe. - No discount, we don't make the film.

- You understand? - From.

You have a week at your disposal.

- Yes... - Have a nice day.

A pleasant day to you too.

Goodbye.

Watching videos for a new director.

No, never! Nobody but me pushes Charlie.

God!

- It's crap! - Seriously?

It's a disaster.

Good, ladies.

Come on, come on.

That was the last one.

Fuck'!

Three days later...

We tried all the directors' agents we know and couldn't find one.

Then Jennifer's stylist in London…

Roberto is not just an ordinary stylist.

He has a wonderful salon in Ice Bridge,

countless clients who are celebrities, he knows them all.

Jennifer's stylist knows a guy who did a movie last year.

I wouldn't normally watch it, but...

We are desperate.

And it's good.

It's really good. I mean, it's low budget, but...

It has something.

A meeting is arranged with a possible director, Rodger Marston.

Hello! Get in.

- Rodger. - Sebastian.

I am pleased.

What...?

Don't worry, we're filming everything.

- For DVD. - Sure.

- Jennifer, this is Rodger. - Hi!

Nice to meet you, Jennifer.

- I'm a big fan of yours. - Thank you. I really enjoyed your movie.

- Yes it was...

- We liked. - ... amazing.

- It was very interesting. - Yes.

I did what I could with a small budget.

It was not noticed. Was awesome.

Shall we sit down?

And.

Thank you.

Did you get a chance to read the script?

Yes. It's great.

It is obvious that it is a period drama, but it has a contemporary resonance.

- That's what we think too. - That's what we were saying too.

Aggie's ordeal is...

of any person who takes a stand

to establish moral norms in society.

Exactly. Da.

And... how do you see the character of Aggie developing?

She is caught in an eternal dilemma.

Between her own happiness and that of her colleagues.

The same people who put their faith in her.

By the way, I'm going to shoot a lot of handshake scenes,

to intensify the contemporary sensation.

I love those scenes!

Love against ideology.

In the fundamental battle between heart and mind.

Have you had a chance to look at the budget?

Yes. It's a little bit scary

but I am confident that I can complete the film.

Good. Thank you very much, Rodger.

you know how things go

we will discuss and contact you soon.

- Gorgeous. - Good.

I can not wait.

What do you think?

I think he's a genius.

Yes. He certainly has a vision.

Absolut.

I can really see myself working with him.

I think we should hire him.

- Well, let's not rush. - Why?

We don't know much about him.

We need someone fast. What are you talking about in such a hurry?

Here's how we do it. I'm going to make a few phone calls.

If it's anyone's say, then we'll continue from that point.

- Good. - That's great.

I can not wait!

Are you sure that's what his agent called him?

Da, Douglas Dixon.

It's not listed. I can't find it anywhere.

It's written on the DVD cover.

Yes, Douggie on the phone.

Douglas Dixon?

Speak louder, I'm on the bus.

Sunt Sebastian Grove. Grove Productions.

Ce?

Excuse me, do you represent Rodger Marston?

Yes, yes, of course.

How did the meeting go?

Very good.

We are interested in working with Rodger.

It would help if we could get some recommendations.

Recommendations? Yes, of course, it shouldn't be a problem.

That's great.

Not?

No, me neither.

It seems no one has heard of him.

Yes, the movie is good, but...

And.

Exact.

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Good. Hello!

I do not understand. What is the problem? Does he ask for a lot of money?

- Not. No, it's not that. - And the guy is English, right?

And.

I've only seen a sample of what he's directed and...

I'm a little worried. From a creative point of view.

Creative? I don't need any more creative shit.

You like him, so does Jennifer.

he's british...

I'm the bastard.

What do you say about this?

Maybe I should invest my money in another movie.

We're postponing everything for a few months...

Not. I think that would be a bad idea.

We can lose the good time...

Everything is going fantastic here.

Hire him!

- What's with you? - Good. Yes, that's what I'm going to do.

Listen, Ronald, we need to talk about cash flow.

I thought it was good, Seb. We talk.

- Fuck me! - Hello?

So what are you going to do?

Looks like we have a new director.

It was a relief to get back to work.

Sebastian also spent his own money,

but that makes him a good producer.

As for Rodger, we were all impressed

of how easily he took over the helm of the film.

I still had my doubts.

It seemed too easy.

Then we started to see another side of Rodger.

Rodger, Chris and Sebastian arrive in Bucharest.

- Not. - All right.

I can handle!

Good thing you hired a local to take care of my luggage.

"Spastin". I think that should be your name from now on.

- What is our car? - There.

Excuse me!

Don't forget my luggage.

Good.

Bucharest Romania...

The "Paris" of Eastern Europe.

The team arrives at a local studio complex.

Hello! Welcome to the studio!

- Hello! - Hello!

- I'm the director. - Welcome!

This is a permanent plateau.

Not currently in use.

It's a plateau western.

Yes, but we have more. Please.

I think this is suitable for your film.

It's... a bit medieval.

Yes, but don't worry, we'll arrange it for you.

She is Elena. He will help you find accommodation for Miss Tilly.

- Hi! - Hi!

- Sebastian Grove. - Elena Parvulescu.

- Hello Hello! - Delighted.

Hi!

Wild dogs!

Quick!

Move move! Go! Go! Go!

Please, they are good dogs.

In Romania, dogs became free before humans.

You will see many dogs.

- We will keep them away from you. - Yes, you would do well!

I can't stand dogs.

Let me show you the offices.

I'm going to relieve myself.

If you are not tired, after checking into the hotel,

we can go to a restaurant and I'll show you Bucharest.

- Yes, that would be great. - Good.

Yes. I like.

This is my office, I think.

What is this?

Production office.

Choose an office.

I don't like this thing.

I need my own room.

Come on, Rodger. We will stay in the same pot.

I think you are joking.

Rodger...

This is unacceptable.

Rodger, you're acting like a child.

He's not a kid, you bastard.

Maybe it's easy for you to pile on, you're just a line producer.

Actually, no, I'm not just the line producer…

I am the director and I need an office just for me!

Guys, no problem, we have enough rooms.

Good.

I need one with a big desk. Bigger than his.

And natural light.

In that evening...

Bogdan, do you serve us too?

One minute, please.

We have to look for locations, hire a film crew and I was thinking...

I was hoping to convince you to stay with us a little longer.

- Seriously? - Yes

Absolute. You know how things are,

could you translate for us and i would love to have you.

We would love to have you. On board.

Elena joins the team.

- We will spend time together. - From a professional point of view.

How do you pronounce that?

Carne Rothfired.

- And what is it? - Meat...

Hop!

Excuse me.

Nothing compares to fresh meat.

Rodger, I think you are a very naughty boy.

You have no idea.

Please, it's an important scene. Must be.

And it's raining...

... they all spoke Chinese.

- If we do it like this... - Shut up!

Then he looks at me and starts undressing...

So, Elena.

Where does a naughty boy find some real action in this town?

Action?

Come on, don't be shy, we both know what I'm talking about.

Jesus, Rodger, what are you looking for? A suspicious club where masochism is practiced?

Sebastian do you have a problem with gays?

Ce?

Seriously, because I don't tolerate that kind of thing!

It's a joke?

Are you saying you're a homophobic bigot?

Wait a minute, I'm not homophobic. I did not realize.

What, that I'm gay?

- Does it bother you? - Not! Certainly not.

I just didn't know.

Rodger, the rog.

- I know a place for you. - Seriously?

Very naughty.

Seriously?

The construction of the filming set begins.

How many people work on it?

Around 80 people.

Cristi Nepestu, Studio Designer

Shouldn't he wear a harness?

I do not understand.

Safety harness.

Don't fall.

If it falls, we find another.

Do you reuse nails?

Yes of course.

The casting of Romanian actors begins...

Camelia Gruia, Local Casting Director

Next.

Bogdan, right?

Is everyone called "Bogdan"?

You're going to read for the role of one of the workers, right?

When you are ready, you can start.

you know sir

that I was "thrilled" when I heard the news?

For God!

It's good.

Do you think you can tell him to repeat, but a little faster?

Faster?

Okay no problem.

you know sir

that I was "thrilled" when I heard the news.

It's ridiculous!

I can't work with these damn idiots!

This damn place is a cesspool for amateurs!

Fuck'!

Rodger?

I like it a lot. He's like an artist. Very sensitive.

He swears a lot.

It's not a problem for me.

do you like dogs

And.

I see you like them too.

Ionescu SA, Real Estate Developer

Dragoş Ionescu, company owner and "businessman"

Mr. Ionescu, meet Mr. Sebastian Grove.

- Hello! - Sebastian. Film maker.

- Yes. - Please.

Do you make movies everywhere you go?

No, no, it's...

It's just the documentary of the making of the film. Behind the scenes stuff.

Does it bother you?

- Not at all, I also make films. - Seriously?

Yes of course.

- Do you know any lovely actresses? - One or two.

Romanian actresses are the sexiest.

Of course.

So you want the red house, right?

Yes. Something for Jennifer Tilly.

She doesn't like to be disturbed and she doesn't like hotels.

Look at this.

- And that's very nice. - Beautiful.

Excuse me, please. I have to go.

No, no, stay.

Look at the photos.

Jesus! What was it about?

A business misunderstanding.

- Business misunderstanding? - Yes.

Dragos is a businessman.

Mafias.

Ce?

Not!

I can't get Jennifer involved with the mob.

You want a beautiful house, right?

Yes, of course, but...

Only the mafia has nice houses.

Jesus!

It was...intense.

Shall we go for a drink?

Yes. Good. Where?

I'm staying nearby.

And the budget?

Do not worry. You have to do 140 anyway.

Ronald Krapner sent his finance director on a surprise visit.

The good news is that the film's budget is still 8 million.

Good. And what's the bad news?

Can you take that room over here, please?

Yeah sure. No problem.

That guy only brought bad news.

It seemed that Sebastian was trapped.

Your share of the budget is only 2 million.

Ce?!

This is crazy!

I can't make the film with that!

Do not worry.

You are only responsible for paying actors and post production.

Pete, I'm the producer. Everything is my responsibility!

If you run out of money, call us.

What if I run out? I paid the pre-production costs

from his own pocket.

I'm already in the hole with 60,000.

Seb, calm down, you'll get your money.

This whole thing sounds like a tax avoidance scheme to me.

How dramatic you Brits are.

I'm going to the office. See you there.

Poor Sebastian.

He was under a lot of pressure, but he never told me about the budget.

I would have liked to know, because he seemed to be on a tightrope.

What if the actual budget was lower than the producer claims?

That would be a fraudulent way

to embezzle money from the British government.

Very naughty.

Don't go past "Start", don't take 200 pounds, you'll go straight to prison.

I'm a business guy and I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

The JW Marriott Hotel in Bucharest

Cedric Winters, the cinematographer, arrives...

Good.

Thank you very much.

That's great. Thanks.

Hi Cedric! This is the welcome pack.

Was the flight enjoyable?

God, I see you're still filming.

- Do we have per diem here? - Yes, somewhere.

- Excellent. Shall we drink something? - Yes. Thanks.

I'm going to the booth. See you at the bar.

Order me a vodka tonic.

Good.

The key is authenticity.

Christopher.

Exactly the man I was looking for.

I spent the most beautiful afternoon with Elena

and he told me that he writes poetry.

You are both writers,

and I thought you could talk, maybe give him some advice.

Unfortunately I have to go, I have a spa appointment.

- Leave you. - Have fun.

- Can I sit down? - Of course.

Thank you.

I can say that I became a writer at the age of 9.

I wrote a Victorian novel just to annoy my parents.

It's a funny story.

- Hi! - Hi!

Is it true that our new director is a bit of a "machine gunner"?

Ce?

A "horse rider". You know, a "curlangio".

A "receiver of inflated goods".

For God's sake, Cedric!

Let it be!

Okay, Dorothy. Don't wrap yourself up like that.

- Health. - Bye.

Sebastian!

He's a fool.

It will get you movie roles. We promise.

He will be charmed.

Mr. Grove. i need to talk to you

Of course, Mr. Strohmayer. How can I help you?

No camera please. Can you stop it?

It seems that Rodger quickly realized how things are on the local gay scene.

He had hired men who work as prostitutes from a website in Bucharest.

I go in first.

- Wait 30 seconds, then enter. - Sure.

- If it's a goal, I want you to film it. - Good.

- Be discreet. - No problem.

I don't give a damn what he says. Bloody bastard.

- Rodger... - Go to hell too, Sebastian.

It's a free country, I can do what I want

in my room.

You are right.

Only some "guests" of yours

don't leave the building after you're... done with them.

I mean?

Looks like these guys are walking around the building looking for customers.

- They are resourceful. - I'm knocking on doors.

How funny!

There were complaints from the other guests.

What the hell do you want me to do about it?

You could be a little more discreet.

Maybe you lead them to the exit of the hotel.

Something else... dad?

I'm sorry we don't always agree.

But I think you are very talented.

And, as a producer, I will always try to support you.

But I have to say this.

I think you're being a little harsh on the local team.

- These are for scene 126. - Yes, either.

what is this

A dish.

I see it's a bloody plate. Not like the ones from the Victorian era!

Shall I tell you what it is? It's shit.

Big shit!

Do you understand, Bogdan?

The team is one, but you can't treat the actors like that.

Especially with Jennifer.

Sebastian do you want me to direct the movie?

- Of course. - Then let me go about my business.

Look, I'll be honest with you.

But that stays between us, you understand?

Of course.

Jennifer could be in a more delicate situation than usual.

Is she sensitive about her weight?

No, of course not.

She's going to get some bad news from her employers.

Regarding "Bullet Factor".

Between us, they are preparing to film "Bullet Factor 2"

and they gave up on Jennifer.

Did they give it up?

I'm replacing her with a 26-year-old stranger.

- What a mess. - Yes.

That's how it is in Hollywood.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

Of course.

And... I'll try to behave better.

Good.

That's great. Thank you.

We found a very nice house at a good price for Jennifer Tilly.

I just have to sign the contract

and give $10,000 cash.

I'm going to pay the mobsters.

I like how it sounds.

Film as much as you can. I'll send it to Jennifer to see.

Looks like it's a party.

Is someone?

Run away! Run away!

Damn it!

Damn it!

The filmmaker. Are you sneaking?

Not. I rang the doorbell.

Are you still filming everything? You must enter.

Let's enter?

No, that's fine. You are busy and it is a wonderful day.

We will go for a walk.

You're very funny. Come, please.

I already told everyone about you.

The famous and funny Hollywood filmmaker.

He is Bogdan. He has the biggest penis in Romania.

- Hello! I am pleased! - Me too.

See? I told you I'm a filmmaker too.

Yes. Of course.

What an Englishman you are.

- Do you have money? - Yes of course.

They are all.

Give it to Ana.

- Hi! I am pleased! - Hi!

- Ana is a very good actress. - I am convinced.

- Do you want fellatio? - What the?

- No, thanks. - Not?

Not! Seriously. Just...

i got one

You are very funny.

Let's stop talking about it.

Let's go.

Yes, I spoke to him last night.

Please, stop bringing boys from the street here.

Absolute. Excuse me. Just a moment.

Hi Jennifer!

What else...

Ce?

What did he do?

Dear good! I apologize.

I'm deeply sorry.

OMG.

Where is it?

Rodger, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Here you go?

I spoke to Jennifer on the phone and she was sobbing.

You told him about the Bullet Factor, didn't you?

After I specifically asked you not to.

I had to be honest with my actors.

There is no room for secrets.

- He blames me because I didn't tell him. - That's between you two.

Dear good! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is for me?

Will you put down that damn cake and talk to me?

Don't you dare talk to me like that, you bastard!

- Treat me with respect. - Jesus...

Go to hell!

I'm the director!

This is my movie, these are my actors!

You are just a line producer!

Who do you think You Are?

- Rodger, look... - What a cocky bastard you are!

Don't you dare talk to me like that again.

I kill you.

Fuck'.

hi douglas I'm Sebastian Grove.

Grove.

No, it's Rodger Marston.

Your customer.

Douggie, be honest with me.

The truth was that Rodger had a rich lover.

He told me the guy was just financing his movie, but...

It seems that he also directed it.

So Rodger's footage was directed by someone else?

I can't say for sure.

They argued and broke up. I have not seen him.

You have to admire Rodger's ambition.

Everything is allowed in love and Hollywood.

To hell with the movie industry.

The music industry is the future.

When Sebastian told me what was going on with Rodger, I was shocked.

I spoke with David Malon, the director.

He was nice and offered to help us.

Nice to hear from you, Sebastian. how is it going

It's all very exciting...

Just...

We have a little problem with the director.

What kind of problem?

Turns out he's not who we thought.

Do you want to explain more precisely?

He may not be a director.

Ce?

Yes, he is also a little mentally unstable and could be violent.

Violent? Did he hit someone? Did he kill a Romanian?

Not yet, but...

So what's the problem?

His agent suggested he would have been in prison.

Do not tell. What was he imprisoned for?

I don't know, he didn't want to say.

Probably not something important.

Many in the industry were closed. Tax evasion or other nonsense.

I hope you're not filming now, are you?

Not. Certainly not.

Bun.

Look what's...

I talked to Jennifer.

He thinks David Malon would be willing to come.

You're joking right?

Do not start again.

- You already fired a director. - I know but...

- Not to say that Malon is American. - Know.

- Forget it. - There's more to the game than...

You can't even make a shit out of a bowl of cereal.

- Go to hell'. I stop everything. - Stay.

No no. Wait.

I had no choice.

Either we continued with Rodger or we stopped.

So I continued.

I was just determined to be better informed.

I spoke to a policeman friend.

In the past I was a police procedure consultant

to some of Sebastian's films.

That's why he asked me to do some research.

Yes, so far an emotional experience.

Look at him. Quick.

Sebastian! I'm deeply sorry!

I didn't mean to scare you like that.

There is so much tension. I want this movie

to be something really special.

Good good.

- Are we friends again? - Yes of course.

What's your name?

Reuben? What are you doing?

Hi! What are you doing? Did you like "Bullet Factor"?

Does not speak English.

Honey, are you looking at my suitcases?

I don't want to lose them.

- Jennifer. - God, it's amazing!

- Jason, here we are. - How beautiful!

It is as I imagined it.

Yes? Even the smell seems to be from the Victorian era.

Is that where the smell was coming from?

I worked hard on the set. Especially Sebastian.

He painted that wall with his own hands.

Bravo, Sebastian!

- Did you paint it? - Look at the details.

The props department is amazing.

How authentic it looks! As if the novel came to life.

I have to explain to you a framework that I have been thinking about.

Scene 3.

When you leave the bakery, we'll do a close-up.

- I love close-ups. - We admire your beautiful eyes.

Close-ups are my specialty.

why are you laughing

The camera is on a crane, then...

We see the whole village, everything.

The whole village?

- And we find Jason. - Do we really have to find him?

I thought I was the center of attention.

The team celebrates the end of pre-production.

Cedric.

Victor get us some drinks, please.

Not for me. I do not drink.

Come on, just a little one.

I want to hear all the gossip about Jennifer.

Seriously, you don't have to.

Here, dear!

Put them in.

How sexy the local women are.

Don't you dare save these moments.

Don't worry, no one is interested in a cinematographer anyway.

Naughty

If my wife sees the footage you will be the first to die.

There's no alcohol in this, right?

Just vodka. Don't tell me you're in Alcoholics Anonymous.

It's too late now.

Lucy.

She was my makeup artist for 6 or 7 years

and always had a little problem.

I sent her to rehab twice and she had just finished the 3 month internship.

Will you marry me?

Damn it.

The next morning...

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Cedric Winters was arrested last night.

He reportedly shouted "abuse" and caused a fight.

We start filming in two days.

What about the camera?

We are making a documentary.

It's fine?

I do not care. Take a seat.

- Your friend, your employee - Yes.

He is in our country with a work visa.

Therefore, he must obey the rules, like any Romanian citizen.

Yes I understand.

Also understand that being drunk and rowdy,

and insulting not only the bar staff but my officers is unacceptable?

What exactly did he do?

He made some repeated references

and bizarre to what I was told it was...

anal copulation.

Dear good!

Look what's...

I'm deeply sorry.

He was very drunk, and he was not in his senses at all.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

What would happen to a Romanian citizen in such a case.

I mean...

Is there a fine? Maybe something I could pay in advance.

Interesting proposal.

May be...

A donation.

Thanks again for your understanding.

Hey!

Hello friend.

Who are you in trouble with the police?

Not. No, I was just... visiting.

Do you want me to drive you to the hotel?

No, thanks. We have our car.

He was stuck on the roof of the taxi, only in socks and with tears in his eyes.

I don't know that man. who the hell is it

It's Captain George Vladici.

And?

He's the police chief.

For God!

First day of filming.

All the director has to do now is call "action" and I get paid.

That's what it says in the contract. Yes!

Three hours later...

Rodger, you have to film something.

I tell you what I need.

You need to get the hell off my set!

Ce?

Seriously. If you don't leave the set,

I will go!

Rodger...

How about if we shoot a keyframe,

then we play the clip to see what kind of coverage we need.

With all due respect, Jennifer, I decide what we do,

but first i want sebastian to go!

It was awful. Sebastian was being kicked off his own set.

Either.

Either way, I'm leaving.

Okay, we're going to shoot the main frame. Cedric?

No problem. Here.

Let me go, dammit!

Comfortable!

I never recovered from that moment.

Good. If everyone is ready.

Be ready!

- Cristina! - We're going to draw a double.

And... sound.

And... action.

Hi George! What the...

Cut!

Someone tell the cop not to look at the camera.

Do it again and don't look at the damn camera, look at her!

Jennifer!

Come on. Let's do another double.

It was difficult from the beginning.

It wasn't just that Rodger was unreasonable

or that the local actors were incomprehensible.

We even had a flock of pigeons on the soundstage.

There.

Do you see the problem? There are pigeons everywhere.

Yes, but they like it here. It's hot.

I understand, but we can't film

with pigeons cooing and flying everywhere.

Sorry.

The head of the studio had a perfect system by which he dealt with the pigeons.

Marius Petrescu, Pest Control

Get in.

- I can take a seat. - Please.

I'm glad you came, Aggie.

Those damn pigeons were everywhere.

We were shooting the most important scene in the world's largest nest.

Sir, I do not appeal to your sense of philanthropy

for I fear I waste my words in vain.

Aggi, now...

Instead, I appeal to your business sense.

I know the work you do...

Dear good!

friend...

I will not accept such a thing.

- What will people think? - I don't care what they think...

That's fine, Jason, but on the next double

i want to see an evil glint in your eyes

But not too bad. He's a good guy, right?

Yes of course.

How about outright outrage?

Either way, we'll do it.

- He's a genius. - May be.

I don't care if she's a star. They must have Rodger.

- Sound. - Action.

I will not accept such a thing. What will people think?

I don't care what they think, Jasper. I need you.

I think that's very important when you're playing a role like that

to assume the mentality of the era.

For example, I don't want to look at a mobile or check my emails.

I want to have only 19th century thoughts in my mind.

- Another coffee with milk? - No, thanks, dear.

Deci...

I'm not surprised he doesn't appear in "Bullet Factor" anymore.

How shocking!

You say it's Dick Van Dyke in a dress.

And.

Okay mate, I'll call you tomorrow.

What do you think?

I don't know, it's not easy.

Sometimes I think he's a genius,

other times I think it's Chauncey Gardner.

I know what you mean.

Sometimes it's hard to understand.

For example, I do something that I think he will like, then he gets angry.

I would like it to be more explicit.

He's a bit of an ass.

And.

We had to reduce everyone's fee by two shillings.

Jasper, please. If you do that I'm afraid people will riot.

Cut.

I probably didn't make myself understood.

Or maybe you don't understand my instructions.

Maybe you need another coffee?

One more time, please. Immediate.

I don't know what the hell he was talking about.

Cum merge, Seb?

E...

Sunday. Everyone is free.

I would like to meet Elena, but...

Do not answer the phone.

It gives me the opportunity to work on the papers.

Damn it!

Fuji! Hey, hey!

God!

What the...?

Rodger, Lucy, what's going on?

We are still looking for an actor.

Thank you.

Lucy, you shouldn't be working, it's your day off.

Lucy works for me for pleasure.

He has an excellent sense of observation for skin color.

What's going on?

Jason.

- Jason? - There's something that doesn't fit.

- Don't you like how he plays? - It's not about that.

He's doing fine, but it's about the love scene we started yesterday.

It's about his ass.

- His ass? - It's not in good shape.

- What the? - I want to use a double.

Looking for an ass double?

Look at him. Yes.

- Where? - Top left.

I heard you might use a stunt double for the love scene.

It's just a frame, from what I understand.

I don't mind appearing naked. I did it for the role of Bertolucci.

- Wonderful movie. - Thanks.

I appeared in several sequences.

I think the impression is that your body might be...

- Too good. - Good?

For that period.

I haven't been to the gym since work and...

Seriously?

You look sensational.

Thanks.

Please, I should...

I honestly don't understand what Rodger was trying to do.

He was either a genius or an idiot.

Anyway, I was paranoid about my bottom for weeks.

Who has the courage to do it?

- You could do it yourself. - Cedric, what is that?

What the? It's a stun gun.

I'm sick of those damn dogs.

I will update them.

Come on.

I don't care, if you pay me, I'll do it.

- Cedric, what are you doing? - I'm testing it.

Now now!

Dear good!

Cedric you are a monster.

Did you film the phase?

350,000 volts. Fantastic.

how are you feeling

Terrible, sir.

Excellent. Look at the money. Bravo.

Thank you.

We're going to the airport to pick up Danny Houston.

Play the role of Dan Wrigley, the leader of the rebels.

Chris.

Yes, thanks for calling me.

I'll get straight to the point. I know you're seeing Elena.

No, no problem...

Except that I also see myself with her.

I didn't know that Elena was dating the producer.

He didn't tell me anything.

It was the manipulator de Rodger who extended my race.

I actually thought it was weird, I mean no one sleeps with the writer.

I really liked Elena.

I was upset about what had happened.

Have you arrived yet?

I just arrived. Where are you?

At the cafe? Yes, I see it.

I was in London for a few days and Sebastian offered me the role.

He sent me a note.

And I got on the plane.

Danny, where are you?

Yes, I'm near the cafe, but I can't see you.

I'm right next to her. You are not here.

No you are not.

What you said?

Budapest?

Fuck'!

Bucharest Romania.

We are in Bucharest!

Dear good! You are in Hungary!

I had landed in the wrong country.

Budapest, Bucharest, Eastern Europe.

It's the same for me.

I do not know what happened. I messed up the planes.

But I had a great time in Hungary. Thank you, Sebastian.

Dan Wrigley, the leader of the rebels,

it is now performed by Sorin Filipescu.

I'm trying to cut some lines.

Comfortable!

Two!

Stop it!

Stay put!

What does that mean, Mr. Wrigley?

I speak for everyone.

Our families cannot survive!

Without "man", our children will "fly"!

Cut!

Did he say "man"?

Yes I think so.

Surely he said: "our children will fly".

I am sorry. What can I do?

I do not know.

Maybe I should write a side story

in which I explain why half of the peasants speak like Romanian surfers.

About halfway through filming.

That's when confidence in the project began to dissolve.

Hello Sebastian!

It feels good?

Lucy? Yes, why do you ask?

I don't know, she seems kind of amused.

Believe?

Don't drink if that's what you're thinking.

Shall we repeat the lines, Jennifer?

In your trailer?

I do not think so.

Meanwhile, my friend from the police called me.

Then the real bomb dropped.

It took me some time.

But I managed to piece together Rodger Marston's background.

His real name was Mark Magic Masmood.

Born in 1960.

His father was a refugee.

His residency was revoked in 1977 due to an allegation of domestic abuse.

He was later deported.

Apparently Rodger had spent some time in prison.

More than five years.

I couldn't believe it.

He spent three years in Long Lartin maximum security prison.

For an insult conviction.

Then he stayed for another two years in 2003 because he beat a boyfriend.

He was released on bail, changed his name and moved to London.

A mean guy.

I felt absolutely betrayed.

We discussed firing him.

I told him that I was sure that David would have intervened and finished the film...

Jennifer wanted David Malon, her ex, to come.

But that wasn't going to happen.

He was American. Ronald would have lost his mind.

In the meantime...

What? (Cedric Winters is arrested again)

Handle-Grinder, Poo-Pusher, Anal-Pirate.

Yes, I am sorry.

These are just some of the things he told my people!

Jocheu-de-Scula, Creţar, Buzilău.

My people are educated and hard-working family men, Mr. Grove.

Laminorist, Poponaut, "The Lord of the Rings".

And.

I understand how these words could offend.

Maybe a bigger donation this time?

Not!

Not this time.

He will be sent somewhere

where he will understand the true meaning of these insults.

My people demand this.

George, if I don't get my cinematographer back, it's going to be a disaster.

He is arrogant and has no remorse.

He must be punished, just to defend the honor of my profession.

Good. How about you just let it go for a few days.

- Not. - Just a few days.

- You keep his passport. - Not.

I can replace it by Wednesday.

Then you can keep it as long as you want.

Not!

Stay, stay!

I have an ideea.

How about I make him apologize to your people.

To truly prostrate.

Good.

I'm listening.

Get your paws off me.

Jesus.

Sebastian...

God, I'm so glad you're here.

You have to get me out of here.

Take me away from these...monsters.

I'm afraid it's too late for that.

What do you want to say?

You have accomplished the feat of insulting the entire police department.

Give them some money.

It's not about money. They want to punish you.

Prison.

Minimum six months.

Dear good.

I can not...

I just can't...

There must be another way.

E...

It's an alternative, but it's unusual.

I do not care. what is it

Well...

He is one of the policemen whose honor you insulted last night.

God!

But...

Captain Vladici is willing to let you go now

if you let this massive guy fuck your ass.

Ce?

- What you said? - That's what he said.

You're free if that guy kicks your ass.

Here, on the spot.

Dear good!

This is crazy!

I can't do it here.

I just can't.

Wait, George. Wait. Give it a chance.

Is thinking.

I don't think so!

Then you better get started!

God, Cedric!

They will throw you in a cell forgotten by the world!

You're going to get gang-raped anyway!

So, however you look at the situation, sodomy is on the table!

I can't believe this is happening to me!

It will only take five minutes.

- Then we leave here. - Five minutes?

No one will find out.

What do you say?

Eu...

Dear good!

Think of England.

Good.

Come on!

Take me!

Huge shit burner!

The bastards.

Damn bastards!

"The Tides of Reason" continues filming, somewhat...

Production had almost stopped.

Thank God David cleared his schedule.

He was due at the end of the week.

Rodger seemed to have lost interest.

Why am I always looking at the horse's ass?

Yes, my friend. Yes, I shoot a girl.

It's been a while, but...

And...

Yes, I managed.

She's Jennifer Tilly's assistant.

Yeah, damn hard.

This was just sent to me from Yorkshire.

It's real mud.

Do you really use real soil?

Yes, it's much better than makeup.

It feels and smells different.

It is treated first.

Insurance requires it.

How do they treat him?

Chimicale biogene.

Lucy, will you get me some water? I'm dying of thirst.

You're everywhere, Will.

- Sorry, I'm going to... - It's okay, don't worry.

- Take care! - Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Dear good! Lucy, have you been drinking?

You drank. I can smell the booze in here.

Just a little.

You can't drink a little, you know that.

Will, do you mind if you leave us alone for a moment?

- Yeah sure. - Thank you.

Lucy, what about you?

I defended you in front of everyone. I promised them you were fine.

- It just happened. - "Simply"?

- Rodger wanted me to feel good. - Roger...

Listen, Lucy, stay away from that man.

he likes me

I don't like you.

He is a dangerous and manipulative man.

Except he's gay.

Lucy, promise me you won't be lured into the trap.

You will only suffer.

Please, I want to tell you a secret.

Things will change soon.

David is coming to visit.

- David? - Yes.

David Malon?

Yes, yes, but it's a secret.

Promise me you won't tell anyone, okay?

And honey...

Beware of Rodger.

It will be okay.

You just have to stop drinking.

I was pressed for time,

Rodger was useless, always giving up on scenes.

I was way behind schedule.

I was tearing pages left and right.

Poor Chris. He worked day and night

to fill in the missing parts of the story.

You speak eloquently for a mill worker.

Yes. Ten years ago, Dad was giving meditations to the six children at Juqsbury Manor.

They let me stay too,

but a dirty plot by their daughter, Katie,

resulted in my father's sudden dismissal.

My father's name was tarnished forever,

and without adequate recommendations he could no longer give meditations.

In desperation, he sought work at your father's mill.

I understand.

And.

- Hi, Jennifer! Can I come in? - Sure, dear.

Did something happen? You look terrible.

It was emailed to me this morning.

Dear good!

"David Malon wants to rekindle the fire of his relationship with Jen..."

I have to call him.

David, I...

Yes I know.

No, we don't know either.

Yes, I understand it's embarrassing. And for me it is.

Know...

Yes, I know Melanie is upset. What you want me to do?

No, that's fine.

I understand.

I'm sorry... Yes.

Okay, I'm sorry too.

He is not coming.

Things are complicated with his girlfriend...

Jen, I'm sorry.

- And under these conditions... - Wait.

Stay, stay.

- Rodger was. - What the?

Rodger told the media the story.

How could he?

He must have found out that we want to replace him.

Fuck'! Lucy!

Lucy?

Damn it. I told Lucy about David Malon.

Yes, because I was trying to warn her!

Fuck'!

That capped it. I'm sick of this bastard.

What the? No, Jennifer. Listen. Dear good!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

You broke this story, didn't you?

Lucy, I think you'd better go to my trailer.

Stay here.

What the hell did you want me to do? I knew what you were up to.

You're to blame for this shit!

You don't live up to the role, so blame the director!

You are just a confident star!

You don't care about anyone.

You are too self-centered to accept directions.

- Accept directions? - Yes!

You are not a director!

We all know who you are!

- You're just a psychopathic ex-convict! - Yes?

You are a fat and untalented whore!

Your accent is ridiculous!

You don't know how to interpret even if your life depended on it!

- It's not true... - Go away!

- I have a very good accent. - Damn it!

Lucy, haide.

Hi Lucy.

What the hell is wrong with you?

There's a donut in your trailer.

- Go to hell'! - Fat!

What are you staring at?

Fat man!

I'm sorry, Sebastian. Everything has a limit.

Know. You have been through an ordeal. We all passed.

I hate that fool!

Jennifer, you know... The things he said aren't true.

I do not care.

He made Lucy drink and turned her against me.

I don't want to see him again, he's a monster.

I'm sorry, Sebastian.

I know you invested a lot of money in the film.

It's just money.

In fact, I didn't know that Sebastian had already put it into production

almost all the money he had.

He didn't want me to know.

His only motivation was to protect the integrity of the film.

He knew that Ronald would immediately take the opportunity to stop us.

He could blame us,

to take the insurance and still made a fortune.

So Sebastian kept his cool and tried to restart the movie.

Rodger?

I don't know what you hope to achieve with this meeting.

Does he really have to film the whole thing, that snot?

Right now it's the only film we're making.

This is not my fault.

I hope we will have a civilized conversation

and that the two of us will solve the situation.

And I also think that if you apologize to Jennifer...

Sorry? I don't apologize.

He tried to replace me with David Malon.

Rodger, Jennifer offered you this movie.

David Malon couldn't replace you.

Ronald Krapner would not have accepted.

If you had asked me that in the first place, instead of being sly,

then I would have explained it to you.

- Yeah sure. - This is the truth.

And, since it keeps coming up, what did you do?

You lied to us.

Regarding your identity, your past, your experience.

- Go to hell'! - No, you go to hell.

Go to hell'!

We've known about you for some time.

Your other name, that you were in prison.

And?

My elbow hurts. I have served my sentence,

I'm curious what you are.

Rodger...

You ridiculed Jennifer in front of everyone.

You gave Lucy alcohol when you knew she was in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Then you manipulated her into giving you information that you gave to the press.

Don't you think you are at least a little bit responsible?

Not. I do not believe.

I would consider going back if he apologizes.

Don't be ridiculous.

Then to hell with her and this stupid movie!

In fact, I'm going to sue her.

- What the? - Yes. We can team up if you want.

I have already spoken to my lawyer. It's a sure thing.

He left the set in a whirlwind. We can't finish the movie without her,

which, let's be honest, sucks anyway.

So I'm suing her for damages.

The insurance has the obligation to pay.

We can make a fortune. What do you think?

This is what I think!

And this!

Bloody bastard!

- Hello! - Hello sir!

Thank you for coming, Captain Vladici.

No problem.

So, Mr. Grove. You keep me very busy.

What happened?

I'll tell you what happened.

Attack me!

This happened! I want you to arrest him!

He attacked me out of the blue with a goddamn bottle!

- A bottle! - Hey!

There is no shouting here.

It was made of plastic.

I feel dizzy.

I have to go to the hospital. I have a concussion!

I want him arrested!

Did you attack him?

I was challenged.

Deci.

Tell me.

That's the whole story.

He's a pathological sociopath. He has a record as long as his arm.

What do you mean "as long as his arm"?

He was in prison. Twice.

The first time because he attacked a guy in a bar.

- Seriously? - And he's an impostor.

He changed his name a few years ago.

Seriously)

What will happen now?

Are you arresting me?

Are there witnesses?

No one in this hotel will defend that person.

There are no witnesses, we have no case. You will not be charged.

However, entering the country

without revealing an alias or criminal record...

... is a much more serious crime.

And?

I had forgotten about the visa applications that I had signed, to obtain the work permit.

There was a section about previous criminal convictions.

Of course Rodger had skipped that part.

I want to thank you all.

"Filming resumes, sort of..."

It wasn't an easy shoot, I know that.

We've lost a few people along the way, but now we're all together.

I think we're a week behind schedule,

but I know that if we all do our best, we can correct the situation.

Good? So let's get back to business.

There is one more thing.

Ura!

Era absolut fantastic.

I had Rodger apologize to Jennifer.

I actually made him crawl.

We had a policeman in uniform on the set.

If Rodger took a piss without permission,

I could put him in jail.

Rodger...

Do you remember Kurt Strohmayer, the hotel manager?

He will play the role of Arthur Swail. Good?

Sebastian made Rodger stay until we finished the movie,

then he was going to be deported but...

Lucy...

It was too much. I had to send her home.

Sebastian takes over the direction.

- Turn on the sound. - 30-24.

And... action.

After that, everything went smoothly.

We're moving everything from there. We put them in this part.

Can we walk by with the camera?

Yes, it's quite simple.

- Turn on the sound. - 1-32. Double fifth.

That's it.

And... action.

Aggie!

Jasper!

Aggie...

And... cut!

- Yes - Thank you all.

I finished.

Congratulations to you too. You have done a wonderful job.

He was guarding.

Have a nice trip, Rodger.

- Bye, Rodger. - Cheers!

- Thanks for everything. - You did a good job.

- Hello pal! - Or not.

I kissed Jennifer Tilly.

That's right!

And it was sexy!

Sebastian and Chris return to London.

Sebastian oversees editing in London.

Don't ask me why, but despite what happened,

Sebastian invited Rodger to the post-production process.

But he didn't come.

The finished film was actually well received.

It didn't take long for it to hit DVD, but it still made quite a splash.

Enough to attract the attention of the British authorities.

Two months later, Sebastian Grove is arrested for tax evasion.

Can you explain what happened?

They arrested Sebastian and accused him of falsifying tax documents.

I mean...

Apparently the British government believed

that he inflated the cost of the film to exploit a tax break.

- How much was the discount? - 2.4 million dollars.

Did he do it?

After the audit, they didn't believe that.

It was far too sophisticated an operation for Sebastian to pull off.

But he was convicted.

Of complicity, yes. Someone had to be the scapegoat.

It's ironic, because if the movie hadn't been a success,

there would have been no investigation.

What a fiasco.

Were you surprised when Sebastian was convicted?

Absolute. I was shocked.

Shocked.

But you know he didn't take the money.

Couldn't you do something to help him?

Sebastian was the producer.

It was his responsibility.

It was a British tax thing. I had nothing to do.

Do you know where the $2.4 million is?

Not. No idea.

I think we all learned something from that experience.

It was just a movie.

Things don't always have happy endings in real life.

Maybe they have for Rodger.

He signed with CAA

and moved to Hollywood to direct a major film.

BULLET FACTOR 3

Of course, there is a sequel.

But it has a very good script. Extraordinary characters.

Yes, I felt terrible for poor Sebastian.

But he didn't complain. He served his sentence.

It could have been much worse.

I should be out in six months.

After he came out, I introduced him to my friend Fiona Chow.

You know, the gorgeous dog trainer who has her own TV show.

They fell in love and got married.

Maybe everything had a happy ending after all.

Leave me! Go away!

Comfortable!

THE END

SOMEWHAT...

Yes, I'm going to work with Rodger on another film.

I know we didn't get along in the past,

but he is very talented, very passionate.

Maybe even a strong personality, but...

Some of the greatest directors were…

... difficult.

Anyone can be a producer.

You just need a business card.

Now we do something very different.

A sci-fi about some mutant cows that...

Get back to work!

Chris Morgan is currently working as a bartender.

Things like this still happen.

Not everything you do is a masterpiece.
