While the elder Morgan was concerned about John's evaluation, John was preparing to meet with the chiefs of staff of the Navy and the Air Force in his study.

After a few knocks on the door, Nancy walked in with two middle-aged men in military uniforms,

"Hello sir!"

The two walked over to the desk and saluted John.

"Sit. John pressed his hand and asked the two to sit down.

"I asked you to come because there is something for you to do. After the two sat down, John said directly: "The movie I will shoot later will involve a lot of war scenes, especially air battles, so I need the air force and navy to provide some personnel and equipment at that time." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"The Air Force needs to provide me with a vacant base, twenty F-16s, ten F-15 fighters, three F-117A attack aircraft, one SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, one E3 AWACS aircraft, two AH-64 helicopter gunships, one CH-54 helicopter, three B-2 bombers, two C-5 transport aircraft, two C-17 transport aircraft, and the pilots who fly these aircraft. It must all be in place in December. ”

"The navy is relatively simple, just provide an aircraft carrier battle group, but in order to save money, I was told in advance before the patrol mission, and I just went to shoot a few shots, but the time should not exceed March next year. If there is no patrol mission, it will be arranged until January, and then it will be enough to go out of the port and go around. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

In the original "Independence Day", there was no navy, the whole process was the air force, John felt that this was a flaw, aliens came to the earth to destroy cities, and did not run to the sea to make waves, but why in the end there were only 20% of the troops, where did so many carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier go? Where did so many missiles on the ground go?

So John is going to add a naval battle and a shot of hundreds of missiles taking off into the air, first, to make up for this flaw, and secondly, to provide fans with a visual feast of sea-to-air, land-to-air, and air-to-air.

But this is a bit of a budget of $75 million, and John is going to be more sophisticated in terms of special effects, so at least $10 million more will be added to the production cost.

However, in this way, the scenes of the whole movie are grander, the war is more intense, the sense of science and technology is more sufficient, and it is more interesting.

As a conscientious director, John, even if he spends two extra dollars, he has to make fans happy. And the box office of "Independence Day" is well worth this kind of investment, and if it is well-made, there may be surprises at the box office.

"Okay, let's go and prepare for it when we understand!"

After arranging affairs, John sent away the two chiefs of staff, "Independence Day" is an army propaganda film, an American propaganda film, the previous life was supported by the White House and the military, not to mention this life, John's identity is here, what support is a matter of one sentence, and John is also ready to borrow his Air Force One and Navy One from the president to shoot a few shots.

After sending away the two chief of staff, John saw that the time was still early, and there was nothing to do when he was idle, so he picked up his pen and began to write the script, the new line film company needs several scripts a year, he has to write a few more and put them away, there are so many good movies, naturally he can't cheap others, and the mission of Wen Copyist is to take the road that others want to take, so that others have no way out.

"Newly minted police officer Brian acts undercover to crack the recent recurrent biker carjackings and ...... into the most active biker gang. ”

While recalling the plot of the movie, John wrote, and he is now writing the famous sequel "Fast and Furious". He will definitely not let go of such a popular IP. And he has already planned to start shooting in 97 and release it in 98, and make one every two to three years in the future.

While John was sitting in his study engrossed in writing the script, it was getting to noon, and more and more people came to watch the movie in major theaters in the city center, including Stephen Morgan Mayer and her boyfriend who came to watch "Forrest Gump" on the weekend.

"That's a lot of people!" Stephen Morgan Mayer and her boyfriend entered the theater just as the movie ended, so the whole hall seemed a little crowded.

"Didn't these people just come down from watching the movie upstairs, why did they swarm up at the ticket gate again?" Steven Morgan Mayer wondered when he saw that the fans who came down from the upper floor did not leave after watching the movie, but lined up at the ticket gate again.

"Maybe you think the movie is good and watch it again!" explains her boyfriend, Chris.

"Maybe, what movie can make so many people watch?" Stephen Morgan Mayer wondered.

"I don't know, but let's line up and buy the tickets first. "Chris is worried that the tickets will be sold out.

"Okay!"

The two immediately lined up and waited in the crowd for nearly 20 minutes before it was their turn.

"Hello, please give us 2 tickets for Forrest Gump. Chris handed $14 to the conductor.

The conductor didn't take the money, and said with a slight smile: "The recent "Forrest Gump" is a free show, you don't have to pay money, just enter the venue with a ticket." ”

After speaking, the conductor handed the two movie tickets to Chris Qiang.

"Free?" Stephen Morgan Meyer has come to the theater so many times, and this is the first time he has encountered a movie that does not require money.

"Why not money?" she asked.

"Because "Forrest Gump" is a public welfare film, all the proceeds will be used for public welfare, so many kind-hearted people funded the scene. The conductor patiently explained, an explanation he had said many times today.

Yesterday, "Forrest Gump" packed a total of 157,000 movies, and after unified scheduling by the headquarters, more than 8,000 theaters in North America were dispersed, with more theaters than 20 and fewer theaters divided into 7 or 8.

These chartered movies can be played at a rate of 2 and a half hours per show of "Forrest Gump", which can be played in two days.

But this is only yesterday's charter, there are still people who continue to charter today, and now 100,000 games have been packed, and at this rate, it is likely to break yesterday's 157,000 games.

And many fans will return to the ticket office to pay for tickets after watching the free show, for them to take advantage of the cheapness of the money, there is no burden on them, but "Forrest Gump" is a public welfare film, especially after watching the last easter egg of "Forrest Gump", they are even more reluctant to take advantage of this advantage, so many people will come to the ticket office to buy tickets after watching the movie, and the one who buys the least will buy his own movie ticket, and buy more than ten or eight, or even a hundred.

According to this trend, the charter of "Forrest Gump" may become more and more, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and finally becoming a terrifying number.
