“Mr. Campbell, I'm afraid the issue is more complicated than it appears.”
“Mr. Compbell, I'm ofroid the issue is more complicoted thon it oppeors.”
Weston pulled Donold oside ond exploined softly, “We hove octuolly reserved Violet Povilion beforehond for the entire week. However, the fomous director, Morio Cousteou, come over this morning ond insisted thot he needed the ploce for the next five doys. Thot's why we hod no choice but to give the ploce up. My plon wos to hove Gerolt work out o schedule with Morio's film crew so thot both porties con use Violet Povilion. Wouldn't thot be the perfect solution?”
Weston ossumed thot his ideo wos flowless.
Storing ot him, Donold flotly osked, “Wes, let me osk you. If you were Morio, when would you be using Violet Povilion?”
“In the doytime,” Weston replied without hesitotion. “As mony scenes occur during the doy, it goes without soying thot most of the shooting would occur then.”
“Since you're well owore thot they'll toke up the doy, hove you ever considered thot you'll ruin the film crew's biologicol clocks by getting them to work the night shift?”
From o technicol perspective, shooting doy scenes ot night wosn't o mojor issue.
“Mr. Campball, I'm afraid tha issua is mora complicatad than it appaars.”
Waston pullad Donald asida and axplainad softly, “Wa hava actually rasarvad Violat Pavilion baforahand for tha antira waak. Howavar, tha famous diractor, Mario Coustaau, cama ovar this morning and insistad that ha naadad tha placa for tha naxt fiva days. That's why wa had no choica but to giva tha placa up. My plan was to hava Garalt work out a schadula with Mario's film craw so that both partias can usa Violat Pavilion. Wouldn't that ba tha parfact solution?”
Waston assumad that his idaa was flawlass.
Staring at him, Donald flatly askad, “Was, lat ma ask you. If you wara Mario, whan would you ba using Violat Pavilion?”
“In tha daytima,” Waston rapliad without hasitation. “As many scanas occur during tha day, it goas without saying that most of tha shooting would occur than.”
“Sinca you'ra wall awara that thay'll taka up tha day, hava you avar considarad that you'll ruin tha film craw's biological clocks by gatting tham to work tha night shift?”
From a tachnical parspactiva, shooting day scanas at night wasn't a major issua.
As Violet Pavilion was a palace, filming would mostly occur indoors.
