13. Secret Conflict

Isn't Alessandro the guy who was supposed to play Nicolas Cage's brother? No wonder he didn't find the role!

It turned out that the scenes that this character was supposed to play were all taken up by his current role. If he had not appeared, John Woo and David Permut, who were in stalemate, would have compromised due to the intervention of the investors.

After figuring out the key point, Rowan was suddenly in a good mood. It turned out he had been taking the advantage of the other guy all along.

Then Rowan gave Alessandro a plain but meaningful smile that said, "You are so pitiful"

The latter's eyes became funny and uncertain and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

"Cut! We've passed this one. Everyone, take a 5-minute break and prepare for the next one!"

The assistant director shouted directly into the loud speaker, then turned around and looked through the storyboards on the script.

Rowan rubbed the back of his hand slightly, but suddenly stiffened slightly. A figure appeared beside him, and a cold voice came into his ears "How is it? Have you thought it

through? If you use physical problems as an excuse to quit the crew, none of your previous scenes will be deleted."

The threatening tone was self- evident, but Rowan did not say anything. He just turned his head and stared quietly at the face with the sinister smile.

Alessandro seemed to have Rowan in his grasp, and said in a proud tone "It's just an extra shot where you die in prison to save thle protagonist. If you agree, I can give you double the salary."

Rowan's heart didn't get moved by this, and he wondered where Alessandro got such

confidence and assurance, he must think he has him in his grasp!

Seeing Rowan's thoughtful expression, Alessandro sneered in his heart, 'He is indeed a country bumpkin.'

Then his expression suddenly softened,

and he said in a slightly seductive tone "You are a smart person. You should know that Director John Woo does not have the finaI editing rights. In the end, you will end up with nothing. How about this? After the filming is

completed, I will take you to the next crew and will definitely help you get an important role."

After thinking about it for a while, Rowan looked embarrassed, and then shook his head in distress "But if this is he case, will the director have any opinion on me?"

'Nonsense, of course he will have a problem with you. He will think you are just a piece of useless mud. You are really a bumpkin.'

Alessandro was filled with joy, thinking that he was about to succeed, and said in a friendly manner: "It's okay. I will help you.As long as you negotiate with Director John Woo in advance, I guarantee that you will get

what you want."

As soon as you quit at that time, they will definitely kick you away. Do you think you are some unfathomable opponent?

Rowan naturally had no idea of Alessandro's extremely excited mental activity at this time. He just licked the corner of his mouth calmly and said softly in a hesitant tone

Because the voice was too soft, Alessandro couldn't hear clearly, so he quickly moved over and said in an expectant tone, "Louder?"

He did not see the ferocious smile on Rowan's face. He only saw the little fox take a deep breath, stretch out his hand and quickly press it on his ear, then roar with all his might."Can you hear me?!"

The roaring sound was like thunder exploding in his ears. Alessandro suddenly screamed, covered his buzzing ears, and shook his head continuously.

Everyone looked over immediately, only to see Rowan suddenly holding Alessandro's shoulders, with a panicked look on his face, and said in a strange tone "Alessandro, what's wrong with you? You asked me to speak loudly. Your hearing is not good, so why don't you say it earlier? Wait here, I will find medical staff for you."

Then he hurried to the other side, leaving Alessandro with a buzzing head. This guy raised his mouth, but for some reason he couldn't make any sound. The sharp pain made his eyes a little dizzy, and it took him a long time to recover.

When he looked around, he saw that the crew members were all looking at him with sympathy. He was about to look for Rowan, angrily, but there was no trace of him anywhere.

The assistant director left quickly, came over and patted his shoulder to comfort him

"What's wrong? Is there really something wrong with your ears? Will it affect the filming? What are you guys still standing there for? Go and see if the medical staff has arrived."

"Here it comes, here it comes, everyone, get out of the way."

Rowan's urgent voice suddenly came, and he pulled the medical staff of the crew and hurriedly walked to Alessandro. Ignoring the guy's cannibalistic expression, he said in a calm tone "Hurry up and show it to Mr. Ludd in Arizona. I really hope he's not seriously injured. Othertherwise, it will affect the filming of the crew, which will be troublesome."

Alessandro, who was about to have an outburst, felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe. He allowed the medical staff to examine him, then stared at Rowan, who had a concerned look on his face, and suppressed the boiling anger in his heart.

"Mr. Alessandro, there's nothing wrong with your ears, but you need to be careful and get more rest. Maybe you've been under a lot of stress lately, and that's why you have tinnitus."

After checking it, the staff member said hesitantly. Alessandro showed an impatient look on his face and waved his hand at him

"I'm fine, you don't need to check. The shooting is about to start, and I have to focus on the shooting."

The impatient look made the medical staff grumble. Rowan quickly patted his shoulder and thanked him in a gentle tone

"Thank you, brother. I'm sorry to bother you making this extra trip. I'll invite you to dinner tonight."

The medical staff then relaxed his tense expression, glanced at Alessandro without leaving a trace, smiled and nodded at Rowan, and murmured in his heart.

'Well, you have a problem, so I'm here to help you. You're just a bitch, but you don't know how kind people are. Next time you have a problem, will I come again? Even young actors can talk better than you, no wonder you'll never make it in your life.'

Rowan spoke nice words all the way and helped him carry the medical box. After sending the medical staff back to the filming location, he waved to him reluctantly and embarrassedly.

That sincere and earnest look made the crew members nearby nod secretly, and the initial indifference in their eyes towards Rowan turned into a little kindness.

At this moment, Rowan, whose acting skills were off the charts, naturally noticed this change. He nodded secretly, then turned his head to look at Alessandro who had malice in his eyes, and showed him his snow-white teeth.

Come and bite me, you fool!

"Okay, if everything is alright, let's get ready to continue filming. Everyone, take your positions!"

The assistant director seemed to notice something, but he didn't care and continued shouting at the top of his voice.

In Hollywood, open and secret struggles are normal. As long as it does not affect the progress of filming, it is no big deal for the actors to do whatever they want in secret.

He dug his ears hard, rubbing the stinging pain from the spot where Rowan shouted at him. Alessandro stared at Rowan's face as he read the script, with endless malice in his heart "Just wait, this scene will be a good one for you!"

"Rowan, that guy might cause trouble for you, so you better be careful."

Milan whispers while she was removing the dust from Rowan's face while. She didn't know why, but it seemed that she felt Rowan was more pleasing to the eye then Alessandro, so she blurted it out.

Rowan nodded calmly, showing a hint of joy. He didn't know how to deal with this guy. If Alessandro remained indifferent, then he wouldn't have much to do.

After all, John Woo would not favor him without any bottom line, nor would he allow the entire crew to fall into internal strife.

But is Rowan the kind of guy who swallows his anger and puts on a smiling face when being bullied?

How can it be!

Cutting a quarter of his role for no reason would be equivalent to weakening Rowan's fame. He was also hoping that after "Face/Off" became a big hit, the audience would conduct in-depth research and understanding of this impressive role!

For an actor, outstanding roles are even more important than salary, especially in the early stages of an acting career. Fame is necessary to get more and better roles, thus forming a virtuous circle.

Fame means a lot, and Rowan must protect his own interests!

"It's okay. I never provoke others casually, but I'm not someone who can be bullied."
