Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Eric parked the car and walked to the set of "Point Break" where the cordon was pulled up.

This is a community named Fox Mountain located in the southwest of Culver City. Of course, this Fox has nothing to do with Fox Film Studio. If you have to worry about it, it can only be attributed to the weak naming talent of Westerners.

The staff at the studio recognized Eric at a glance and greeted them enthusiastically, pulling the cordon off and let Eric walk in.

In front is a temporarily blocked street. Before approaching the shoots site, Eric can smell the pungent smell of gasoline after burning, bypassing a trailer for the assembly of props, Eric saw a refueling on the street. Outside the station, several cars were still smoking, and several staff members were busy with fire extinguishers.

Looking around the scene, Eric quickly found the figure of Kathryn Bigelow. The typical dress of a woman is really easy to recognize.

At this time, Kathryn Bigelow is holding Taiwan and talking to the two male protagonists Keanu Reeves and Par Terry K. Switzer from time to time, waving from time to time.

According to script, the scene should be that Utah discovered the identity of a bank robber such as Bodie and others, squatting outside a bank where Bodie has stepped on, and finally evolved into a chasing scene.

A deputy Director of the crew saw Eric and ran over and asked, "Mr. Williams, do you need me to call Ms. Bigelow?".

Eric shook his head: "No, how is the progress of shoots?"

"Not bad. Seven shots have been completed today. Next is the scene where Utah chased Bodie." Deputy Director explained.

Eric said with satisfaction: "Let me have a place to rest, I ’ll come over to see her and not disturb her work."

"No problem, please come here," Deputy Director led Eric to a specially developed rest area. It seems that this should be prepared for Actor.

A middle-aged man with silver hair was originally sitting in a chair and drinking water. He saw Eric appear and stood up: "Mr. Williams. Hello."

"Gary, just call me Eric. Shouldn't that scene be tiring just now?" Eric smiled and shook hands with each other.

A silver-haired middle-aged man named Gary Busey, plays Utah ’s boss Angelo Pappas in this movie. Eric previous life has watched a lot of Gary Busey movies. Speaking of that, Gary Busey is the same as Virginia's brother Michael Madsen. In the parallel world, both people are the kind of Actor who has participated in dozens of Hollywood movies, but the sense of existence has been extremely weak.

"Okay, my morning part has been completed. Keanu and Pat will be very tired next. They have a long chase to shoot. Maybe it will not be finished all day today," Gary Busey said with a smile, took a bottle of water from the box next to it and handed it to Eric.

Eric took it over, pulled a folding chair and sat next to Gary Busey, chatting casually with the other party.

With the shouting of Kathryn Bigelow in the shoots field, another shot began.

The Eric only discovered that the place where the two big men were sitting just faced the Director monitor more than ten meters away. Kathryn Bigelow still didn't notice Eric at this time and returned to the back of the monitor. After instructing shoots to start, the woman Standing with his shoulders behind the monitor, staring at the scene, Utah played by Keanu played with the masked Par Terry K. Switzer.

And Eric and Gary Busey stopped chatting in unison, staring at the back of a woman ten meters away with great enjoyment. It is often said that one can cover all ugliness, but in fact, one can cover all ugliness. Of course, Kathryn Bigelow is not only ugly, but also very beautiful, not to mention the height of 1.82 meters.

After a while, Gary Busey turned his head and noticed that Eric ’s eyes were the same as himself, focusing on the Kathryn Bigelow not far away. The middle-aged man grinned and showed a big die, smiling: "It's hot, isn't it?"

Eric and Gary Busey glanced at each other, and the two big men at the same time showed a ribbon with a little wry smile.

"Yeah, it's hot."

Gary Busey seems to have found a confidant, and said frankly: "It's really cheap that **** Cameron."

"Ha, this ..."

Gary Busey turned to Kathryn Bigelow not far away again. The shot between Utah and Botty did not pass. The woman walked over and discussed with the two male protagonists: "Eric, in fact, I have known Kate for more than ten years . "

"Wow, I really don't know this," Eric looked at Gary Busey in surprise.

Gary Busey said with a bit of memory: "That should be 1977. I ca n’t remember the exact time. I was still on Broadway at that time. I only picked up a few movies. I remember one day, I A friend of mine introduced me to Kate and said that she wanted a short film of shoots and was looking for the actor. I still remember the first time I saw Kate at a coffee shop in Soho, Manhattan, when she Wearing a black turtleneck sweater, black jeans, brown hair, and a shy look, she carried the unique intellectual atmosphere of the young female artist of Soho District. She was not sociable, and she has seen strangers until now. They will still blush. At the first sight of her, I was hooked on her like many men around her. "

"Later?" Eric asked with interest.

"Later, I participated in her short film, like" Fighter ", telling the story of a duel between two men, and I became good friends with her. Over the years, all of our friends She is middle-aged, but she has almost no change in appearance or figure, which makes many of her female friends crazy and jealous. "

Eric asked ambiguously, "Is it just a good friend?".

Gary Busey shrugged: "I got married early, otherwise I will pursue her, but it is definitely very difficult. She is a very independent woman. She is very talented. And she has a very strong self-control ability. Scientist. She has been single for many years. Our friends thought that she would remain single. Unexpectedly, three years ago, she suddenly married Cameron. "

"It's a heartbreaking result," Eric quipped.

Gary Busey laughed a few times and nodded honestly: "Of course, watching the goddess in my heart marry another man. How could it not be heartbreaking."

The two laughed a few times and looked at Kathryn Bigelow on the shoots scene again. At this time, the woman again negotiated with the crew's lighting engineer and made gestures from time to time. The lighting engineer seemed to have different opinions and danced with each other. The woman is arguing.

Seeing this scene, Gary Busey said with emotion: "In Hollywood, it ’s really difficult for a woman to do Director. If I do n’t do it anymore, it ’s hard for her to persist for so long."

Eric doesn't mean to step forward. He believed that with Kathryn Bigelow's strong personality, he would not want to intervene. Looking at the dispute between the woman and the lighting engineer, Eric nodded and said: "It is indeed so. As a Director, in addition to personal professional qualities, it not only requires strong control, but also requires high physical strength. High Intensive work is hard to bear for most women, so whether it is Hollywood or other movie circles, female Director will not be too productive. "

The two people chatted casually for another hour, and near noon, the crew also temporarily stopped working and began to rest and eat lunch.

Kathryn Bigelow has finally been notified that Eric is here.

"Hi Eric, why are you here?" Kathryn Bigelow came over enthusiastically and hugged with Eric and asked.

Eric greeted the two leading actors next to Kathryn Bigelow one by one, and then replied: "I'm passing by, just came to see."

Kathryn extended his finger in disbelief and drew a big circle in the air: "You mean, you go from Malibu to Burbank," pass by "here?"

Eric rolled his eyes and pointed to the west: "Who told you that I went to Burbank? The team of Firefly is conducting a field investigation in the Playa Vista area about three kilometers west. Firefly intends to build a studio base there Over here. "

Kathryn Bigelow nodded and looked at the west side, and asked, "Will you not be there over there?".

"Of course, professional things are left to professional people. I ca n’t help much in the presence, just look at the results they give."

Gary Busey intervened at this time: "Eric, Kathryn, lunch is ready, let's talk while eating."

The place where the crew dine is not far away from a restaurant of a large scale. This can be seen from the difference between the crew of the other side of the ocean. When Eric previous life participated in some movies shoots, most of the time I ate lunch I took lunch from the logistics. Just find a place to get things together.

This way of dining means that the expenses of the crew increase, but these small details are written into the contract in detail under the supervision of various unions of Hollywood. As long as you want to make a good movie on Hollywood, you have to Union compromise.

Of course, some people can specifically sign subsidiary contracts to change these rules.

However, this requires sufficient strength and confidence. There are very few people who can do this with Hollywood. According to Eric, even Spielberg is one. He can even ask Actor to sign a contract that gives up the union salary standard, giving Actor an extremely low price. Pay, but in order to be able to cooperate with Spielberg, most Actor often choose to compromise.

With the strength of Eric now in Hollywood, he also has the confidence to break the rules, but he has not yet encountered the need to do so.

After taking some lunch, Eric and Kathryn Bigelow chose a table to sit down. Maybe they felt that Director and the producer had something to discuss. The few leading actors present were n’t super lively. Although Gary Busey wanted to come together, Was pulled by Par Terry K. Switz to their table.

"Little guy, I thought you would never come to the studio again," No one was around, Kathryn Bigelow immediately changed the name that made Eric very depressed.

"Isn't it a reasonable thing for me to be here as a producer?".

"Of course, but when you showed up, you ran to New York for more than a month, and the movie turned on when you returned." Kathryn said without complaining.

"That's because I have very important things to do. Rest assured, I will come to the crew often for a while."

Kathryn Bigelow is clearly out of a certain circle, so it is not like other people, asking how much money Eric made, the woman did n’t even ask him what he did to New York, just said: "Do n’t you need Prepare your own movie? ".

Eric swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth and said: "I decided to slow down, I have to give other Film Studio a way to live."

"It ’s ... too big to talk," Kathryn Bigelow laughed, but when it comes to the results of the movies before Eric, the woman suddenly found that Eric seems so reasonable to exaggerate. According to the data released by the Box Office prediction agency, the summer "Ghost" is the only movie so far this year that Box Office may break 200 million USD.

"Oh, do n’t you plan to guide" Home Alone "again this year?".

Eric shook his head and said: "I have completely handed over this project to others, and I will not intervene in the future. At most, I will only hang on the title of a producer."

"I have seen second part, which is quite interesting."

"Thank you for your approval," Eric said.

"However, I found that the films before you are too lacking in content. I think making movies should convey something to the audience. This is also the purpose of my choice of Director. I originally studied painting, but later Someone told me that movies can more easily convey their ideas to others, unlike painting, which requires a certain amount of accumulation to understand the meaning. "

Eric shook his head: "Kathryn, I do n’t agree with you. My film has been conveying various messages to the audience, but these things are more subtle, and I think this is the correct way of communication. .

The audience often only sees what they want to see. Like a thousand readers in the eyes of a thousand Hamlet, they only accept the ‘hamlet’ in their minds. So, if you want to convey your opinion to the audience, you must resonate with them so that you do n’t have to say it clearly, they can understand what you want to convey from your film. Otherwise, even clever preaching will often only have the opposite effect. Just like you are currently working on "Point Break" in shoots, I have watched script several times. Do you know what I saw from your script? ". (To be continued ...)
