It was the first time in history that the United States and Rabbit held a naval exchange day, so both sides wanted to make this exchange a good one, and after several weeks of discussion and finalizing the process, the exchange activity began.

Just as the United States was holding a naval exchange with Rabbit, John boarded the Morgan One and flew to Los Angeles to begin filming "The Matrix."

Dani and Ariana didn't go to Los Angeles with John, they had to stay in New York to deal with government affairs, so John only took Fanny with him.

Vani had returned to New York from London a few days ago, and the little guy had been crazy for a few months, and when he came back, he was getting heavier, and he knew that he had been eating and drinking outside for a few months, and said that he would go next year.

In this regard, John firmly supports that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and only by going out to see the outside world can you know how big the world is.

Of course, it is impossible for John to let Fanny go out all the time, and when he returned to the manor, he hired a bunch of tutors for her, although she didn't have to go to school, but knowledge, etiquette and the like still had to be learned, otherwise she would become a wild girl.

When he arrived in Hollywood, John immediately convened a meeting with the crew, and during this time he dealt with government affairs, and he didn't know how the preliminary work of the film was prepared.

There's no way, there's a lot of work waiting for John to deal with, it's good to be able to find some time to make movies, and he doesn't have much time to deal with official business when he participates in various management, production and publicity in detail.

"Knight, how's the cast and the set going?"

"It's all ready!"

Because of John's handshake, Taravis Knight has grown rapidly during this time, there is no way, it is all forced, who let him meet an irresponsible boss.

So now there is a saying in Hollywood: if you want to learn filmmaking quickly, go to John as an assistant director, keep you in one year, and you can be independent in the next year.

"How are the props, costumes, and sets ready?"

"The props are fine!"

"Layout OK!"

"The costume is no problem!"

"Very good!" John nodded, the crew is now used to working without him, and finally John looked at Bao Ye who was sitting at the back and asked. "Bao Ye, how is the actor's training?"

"It's no problem, after this period of training, everyone already has some martial arts foundation, and it's no problem to deal with shooting. Bao Ye replied.

"Wait until the meeting is over, you can stay for a while, and we'll discuss the actions you have designed on your side. ”

Bao Ye is the action director and action director, responsible for designing the action and shooting the fight scenes, and John is responsible for the literary drama.

This is John's intention to promote Bao Ye, I believe that when "The Matrix" is popular all over the world, Bao Ye's name will also be remembered by everyone.

"No problem!" Bao Ye nodded, he was very grateful for John's promotion, he always wanted to come to Hollywood as a director, but he never had the opportunity, John gave him a chance now, it can be said that he opened up the situation all of a sudden, and took a lot of detours.

Seeing that all the work was ready, John set the start date, and after the meeting, John invited Bao Ye into the office to discuss the action.

Bao Ye's work is very serious, and he draws all the moves of the actors in the play.

The movements of "The Matrix" follow a soft path, and they look very beautiful, like a dance.

Because of John's requirements, the movements designed by Bao Ye also leaned on this aspect, but because the moves he designed in the past were relatively rigid, even if he leaned on the soft side now, he also had a sharpness.

For this sharpness, John likes it very much, when he used to watch "The Matrix", he felt that the movements in it were too soft, it looked light and fluttering, and it couldn't kill people, "The Matrix" is an R movie, there is nothing to scruple about, and if you add some sharpness to the action, it will be more enjoyable to watch.

"Good, hard work!"

"It should. ”

John nodded in satisfaction after reading the artwork, and then chatted about idle things.

"It's been a good time working here, haven't you? Haven't you encountered anything unhappy? If you do, tell me and I'll take care of it. ”

"No, everyone is very polite and helpful!"

Bao Ye smiled slightly.

John nodded.

"In Hollywood, some people may have some bad behavior towards Asians, don't take it personally, it's just a small group of people, and when the movie is successful, I'm sure these people will respect you. ”

Hollywood is a hodgepodge, people from all over the world gather here, the social environment is more complicated, some people don't like blacks, some people don't like Asians, some people don't like Jews, but here is about strength, everyone still respects people who have the ability.

"Understood!" Bao Ye nodded.

Respect the strong, this is the same in all walks of life and countries, and the same is the same in the harbor, if you are a big director, a big producer, a big star, who doesn't respect you? On the contrary, if you are just a trick, who remembers you, who cares about you?

People are equal to each other, this is just an ideal, different status, different treatment, can a national leader be the same as an ordinary person? Can the president of IBM be received by the leaders when he goes to the rabbit country, and can ordinary Americans go to the United States to be received by the leaders of the rabbit country?

So in this world, strength is king, so is the individual, the same is true of the country, the country without strength has no influence to speak in the UN General Assembly, the P5 has a veto, do other countries have it?

After talking to Bao Ye, John returned to Purple Star Manor, and in the evening Devon Morgan and Nancy returned together, and the three of them had dinner and talked about the recent company in the bedroom.

"Saving Private Ryan" is still in theaters, and the movie has exceeded John's expectations, with a total of $512 million in North America, $4.36 abroad, and $948 million worldwide.

This achievement has become the highest-grossing World War II film in film history, and this is not the final result, the movie is still being released, although there are only more than 100,000 US dollars a day, but the movie will stay until the end of the Oscars, generally like this kind of Olympic movie, the box office will rush after winning the award, so it is only a matter of time before it breaks the billion dollar mark.

Of course, this result also scared John, and he himself didn't understand why the box office would exceed so much in history!

In fact, this has a lot to do with John's identity, first, "Saving Private Ryan" has received strong support from theaters, and there are many, many more films than in the previous life, and the box office of the movie is directly proportional to the number of films.

The second is the effect of John's status as a super director, as the most famous and popular director in the world today, John's movies will naturally be sought after by many people, and when "Saving Private Ryan" was released, there were no enemies in the market at all, and "Saving Private Ryan" was dominant, so the box office was naturally high.
