The warehouse fire incident was successfully handled, although Michael Ovitz was not treated in the end, but the result was quite satisfactory to John, after all, this kind of thing cannot beat Michael Ovitz to death with a stick, and gradual is the best policy, you must know that God wants to make a person perish, usually he will drive him crazy first.

John is now waiting for Michael Ovitz to go crazy before he can trample Michael Ovitz like an ant.

Out of the restaurant, John saw that it was still early, and he was not busy returning to Purple Star Manor, and drove towards Burbank.

Forrest Gump rented a studio at Warner Studios in Burbank for indoor footage, so he wanted to see how the set was set up.

The town of Burbank, though a residential satellite of Los Angeles, is the media capital of the world, home to the famous Walt Disney Company's headquarters. In addition to Walt Disney, it is also home to branches of many of the world's leading media and entertainment companies, including Warner Bros., NBC, Viacom, and PBS.

It didn't take long for John to drive to Warner Studios.

Warner Studios is not a theme park for visitors like Universal Studios, it is a real set for filming movies and television, so most of the people who come here are crew members.

After parking the car, John changed into a cinema electric car and entered the park, passed through the front street view, and finally came to the studio area.

These studios are huge like warehouses, arranged in a neat and orderly order, and John quickly found Studio 5 belonging to "Forrest Gump" according to the number prompts in front of the studio.

As soon as he opened the door, John saw the set designer Larry Díaz busily setting up the set with the workers, and Francis Ford Coppola standing with the storyboard artwork pointing to the side.

Sensing someone approaching, several people stopped what they were doing and looked at John, and when they saw that it was John, they said hello and continued to work.

John didn't chat with them, and the filming affected their work, so after saying hello, he walked around the studio alone to familiarize himself with the working environment.

Two interiors have been set up in the huge studio at the moment, and these interiors are built according to the storyboard artwork, so John only needs to look at them to know which scene in the movie they are.

John looked at two interiors and chose one of them to walk in, this interior is the hospital where Forrest Gump was treated after his injury in "Forrest Gump". Here, Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan Taylor will stage a classic scene. John still remembers the despair and sadness in the eyes of Lieutenant Dan Taylor in the film.

Walking into the interior, John looked at the interior decoration to see if there was any discrepancy with the drawing in the storyboard, and from time to time he touched the props around him with his hand to check if there were any items that did not match the era told in the movie, until he looked at the entire interior and found nothing wrong, he nodded with satisfaction.

"How's it going, are you okay?"

John heard a voice behind him and turned around to see Francis Ford Coppola looking at him with a storyboard.

"Of course, with you, how can there be a problem. John smiled. "It's just that you are asked to do these things, and I don't want to go. ”

Let a big director do it, John is really a little embarrassed, a big guy like Francis Ford Coppola, that is the existence that should be looked up to.

"It doesn't have to be this way, it's the job of the producer. Francis Ford Coppola waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at John. "Shall we sit down and talk?"

"Good!" John nodded.

The two of them each found a bed to sit on, this set is a hospital scene, and the last thing that is missing is a hospital bed.

After sitting down, Francis Ford Coppola looked around, saw that there were no idle people waiting, looked at John and asked in a low voice. "How is the matter of Savannah handled, and have you found out who set the fire?"

"So far there hasn't been much progress. John shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to tell Francis Ford Coppola that he had settled the matter. The competition between the big families cannot be taken out and talked about everywhere.

"The person who set the fire must have been prepared, and it will not be easy for the police to find out this kind of thing for a while. Francis Ford Coppola sighed, then rejoiced. "But the good thing is that the loss is not big. ”

"Yes, thank you very much, if you hadn't taken the film to Los Angeles for processing, the consequences would be unimaginable. John was a little scared until now, but he didn't expect that he would be negligent for a moment and create an opportunity for his opponent to take advantage of. "So when the shoot is over, I'm going to have to ask you for a drink to say thank you. ”

"Okay, but it's okay to drink, and you don't need to thank you. "Francis Ford Coppo is serious. "This kind of thing is the job of the producer, so I don't need to thank you. It's just that....... Francis Ford Coppola hesitated. "Director Chris Deng, as a senior, I have some suggestions here that I hope you can listen to. ”

"You say. John sat up straight and listened.

"Director Chris Deng, after these few months of contact, whether in work or in life, you are one of the better young people I have ever met. Francis Ford Coppola said, changing his mind. "However, excellent people do not necessarily achieve great things, and I have seen countless outstanding young people in my career, some of whom are even better than you, but only a very few of these people can achieve brilliant achievements, and many more are buried by time and forgotten.

And looking at those who are regarded as legends, in addition to their excellent abilities, more importantly, they are willing to share the benefits. You...... You know what I mean?"

What Francis Ford Coppola meantJohn naturally understands that eating alone is fast and dying, which is an eternal truth. Only those who are willing to share the benefits can achieve the pinnacle of life, the princes and generals of the ancient times, and the family consortium today, which is not to share the interests to form their own interest groups. Otherwise, why should the generals and soldiers throw their heads and blood to open up the territory, and why should the civil officials and ministers defend the imperial power, it is not because they can get benefits from the emperor.

In a world composed of interests, those who eat alone are destined to be abandoned by everyone from the beginning, after all, only a few people do good deeds without leaving a name, and more people still pay more attention to real gains and losses.

"Thank you!" Although John understood this, he thanked Francis Ford Coppola from the bottom of his heart. This kind of truth is generally only said to the juniors close to him, and Francis Ford Coppola obviously regarded John as his junior, so this kind of concern must be accepted by John.

"Warner Pictures is interested in representing Forrest Gump's overseas distribution, and I'll ask Nancy to talk to them tomorrow. After thanking him, John told Francis Ford Coppola about Warner's desire for the rights to Forrest Gump's overseas distribution.

"Looks like you know what I mean!" Francis Ford Coppola nodded in relief. In fact, Savannah caught fire, and he already had the object of suspicion in his heart, the matter between John and Michael Ovitz was known to the upper echelons of Hollywood, so if he didn't even have this analytical ability, he wouldn't have to mix in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz and John have a grudge because of the copyright issue of "Forrest Gump", one wants it, the other doesn't give it, which makes the two opposed, and then a series of events will occur.

So Francis Ford Coppola wants to persuade John, if you want to go further and stand higher in Hollywood, the vanity fair, you must know how to share, and be willing to share your own interests, only in this way will there be a group of people standing by your side to escort you, because at this time they are not only protecting your interests, but also protecting their own interests, only in this way, you can stand out in the cruel competition.
