Chapter 403 "Independence Day" is launched
"By the way, Sophia, don't you want to be a director! I have a good script here, you can follow me to shoot this book after filming "Independence Day", and it can be regarded as helping you get on the horse and give you a ride. After filming Independence Day, John decided to let Zack Schneider and Sophia direct independently.
"Can I do it?" Sophia followed John just to learn how to film, and now that John was suddenly independent, she was a little worried that she couldn't handle it.
"What are you afraid of! When the time comes, let your father be the producer, are you still afraid that you won't be able to shoot?" John sometimes can't help but sigh, it's really the same life, others want to be a director, then they have to go through a lot of hardships, find a book, find investment, find distribution, but these things are nothing here in Sophia, people's dad is a top director in Hollywood, and he has countless relationships in Hollywood.
"I don't want him to be an executive producer. Sophia shook her head, she didn't want people to say that her success was due to her father, which is why she came to be John's assistant and didn't want to go to Coppola.
"Okay! If you don't dislike it, I'll be the producer for you, I'll pay for the investment, and I'll arrange the distribution. John owes Coppola a favor, so he doesn't mind helping Sophia, and besides, he also wants to train Sofia to be an award-winning director at Crown Studios.
A film company must not only be able to make money, but also be able to win awards, art and business must develop, John doesn't worry about business, his future direction is to rely on commercial films, in addition to Zack Snyder, Michael Bay These commercial directors, the crown will definitely not be worse than other companies in commercial films, but the award is a big difference, so John wants to train Sophia into an award film, and the key is that under the influence of Coppola, Sophia is only interested in art films.
"You want to pull me into the crown to make a movie and work for you. Sophia's eyes rolled and she immediately thought of John's intentions.
"Yes, if you don't refuse, that's what I'm going to do. John doesn't hide his purpose, but everyone else is a Lori cultivator, to the point where his painting style has completely changed and he has become a director.
"As long as the salary is in place, I don't mind. Sophia feels that she can work for anyone, compared to other companies, she is more familiar with John, and John is also a good person, so she is also willing to stay in Crown to make films.
"Then it was decided. John reached out and shook Sophia's hand, and the two reached an agreement.
............
As the clock ticked to October, the temperature dropped and "Independence Day" entered the production period, and Devin Morgan held a huge opening ceremony for John at the Hilton Hotel, and the most important media in the United States were invited to the scene.
The next day, the opening ceremony became a hot news report in the media across the United States.
"Will Independence Day defend the god of the demon guide, or will it pull him down?"
"The demon guide will be involved in science fiction films, is this a disaster or a rise?"
"Rushing out of North America and blowing up all over the world. ”
Most of the media are not very optimistic about John's transformation to make science fiction films, and think that it is unwise for John to do so, "Forrest Gump" has become the most demonic film in film history, they think that John should make another film of the same genre to stabilize his position, rather than rashly getting involved in a new genre.
Many people are very excited when they learn that John is going to make a science fiction film, although "Forrest Gump" and "Stealing Love" are good, but one step is a small investment film, one is biased towards literature and art, fans are not academics, they prefer commercial films with large investment, so they are naturally ecstatic when they see John getting involved in science fiction films.
But there are still a small number of fans who have the same idea as the media, mainly worried about John, in their opinion, John is better at shooting love-themed films, and feels that John may not be able to control the sci-fi genre, and is afraid that John will hit the street at that time.
And a small number of insiders are heartbroken, they feel that John has fallen, a promising art film director, actually ran to make science fiction films, to cater to business, this is simply self-depraved and not enterprising. At the same time, they also felt that it was a pity that John was now standing outside the art hall, and he could enter as long as he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, but John not only did not push the door, but turned away, which surprised everyone.
But whether it is supportive or unoptimistic, none of this can affect John, and after the opening ceremony, John took the crew to the San Diego Naval Base.
San Diego Naval Base is the largest naval base of the U.S. Navy on the West Coast and one of the main home ports of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, where one-third of the U.S. Navy's warships are anchored.
After arriving at the San Diego Naval Base, John asked Zack Schneider to arrange for the crew to rest for a while, and he took Dini directly to the command post, where they were received by Vice Admiral Nora Tyson, commander of the Third Fleet.
The US Navy's Third Fleet is the Navy's ace force and the most powerful force, with four aircraft carrier battle groups, one surface ship group, one attack helicopter wing, one littoral combat ship squadron, and one expeditionary detachment...... Such strength can completely single-handedly challenge the navy of any country, and it is not too strong.
"Hello sir! Third Fleet Commander Nora Tyson is here to report. Nora Tyson saluted John with several of the fleet leaders.
The U.S. Navy is the army of the Southern government, that is, the Confederate States of America, and the Morgan family inherited the Southern regime in Freemasonry, so the Navy is considered a descendant of the Morgan family.
"Hello! Lieutenant General Tyson. Don't call me sir, I don't want anyone to know who I am, you know?" John admonished, and then asked, "Where is the fleet going?"
"Sir, we're going to the Bering Sea and Alaska on patrol. Nora Tyson replied.
The Third Fleet is under the jurisdiction of about 50 million square miles of the western United States and the North Pacific Ocean, with Alaska and the Bering Sea in the area. However, John would not follow them to such a far place, he just took a few shots of the aircraft carrier battle group sailing on the sea, as long as he left the port, he could shoot, and he didn't have to run so far.
After the two sides said hello and arranged the filming, John took the crew to follow Nora Tyson towards a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in the fleet.
After getting on the aircraft carrier, John handed over the shooting to Zack Schneider, this is a simple shot, no need for John, Zack Schneider and Emmanuel sat in a helicopter, circled in the air, and shot some fleet panoramas, in fact, it is to take materials, and the aircraft carrier battle group produced by special effects is different from the real aircraft carrier battle group, so if you can use the real place, John must first use the real, and strive to enhance the impact on the big screen.
