It is also ironic to say that although "The Last Samurai" is a movie that boasts of Japan's extreme bushido spirit, the funny thing is that the shooting scenes were not filmed in Japan, but in New Zealand.

And a large group of main creators, including Tom Cruise, have been living together here for two months.

At the end of the day's shooting, director Edward Zwick had the largest Japanese hall cleaned up and set up a Japanese-style table and mats, and in addition to these, the dinner meals and drinks were all standard Japanese cuisine.

There were eight people sitting in front of the platform, divided into left and right sides, and sat opposite.

On the left-hand side are the members of the director's team, four of them, including Edward Zwick;

On the right-hand side are the main actors, including Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Koyuki Kato.

Interestingly, there were a total of three Japanese actors on the scene, but there were five people wearing standard Japanese costumes, three of the three Japanese actors were naturally three of them, and the other two were the director Edward and the actor Tom Brother.

The whole of Hollywood knows that Edward Zwick and Tom Cruise are obsessives with Japanese culture, so both enjoyed the filming of this film, especially Tom, who took the film so seriously that it took two years to prepare it alone.

It is precisely because both of them like Japanese culture very much that they get along with the three Japanese actors very happily, especially Ken Watanabe, basically every day for dinner, the three of them have to eat together, while eating, while discussing the filming of the film, and talking about some topics related to Japanese culture.

The main task of today's filming is a scene in which Ken Watanabe teaches Tom Cruise kendo in Japanese bushido, Tom Cruise learned swordsmanship for many months in advance, so he got started quickly, and the shooting was not only very smooth, but also quite effective.

Edward Zwick praised Tom Cruise at the dinner table and said with a smile: "Tom, your swordsmanship has really opened my eyes, it's really amazing, I didn't expect you to be able to learn so well in a few months!"

Tom Cruise nodded and smiled, and said, "Aren't investors demanding excellence, so I started practicing when I was in the United States." ”

Ken Watanabe couldn't help but praise: "Tom, you are really a natural action movie actor, you have mastered the movements, strength and skills of using the wooden sword today, I have been practicing kendo intermittently for more than ten years, and I feel that I am about to be surpassed by your efforts for several months." ”

Tom Cruise laughed, showed a row of handsome little white teeth, and said humbly: "I'm just a beginner, and I'll have to ask Mr. Watanabe more in the future." ”

As he spoke, Tom Cruise also said thank you in Japanese.

Ken Watanabe was quite useful for this kind of mutual flattery in courtesy, and was thinking about being polite, when director Edward Zwick's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he hurriedly looked down at his mobile phone and found that it was the CEO of Warner.

Edward Zwick hurriedly answered the phone, and as soon as he came up, he said enthusiastically, "Hi, Mr. Meyer, how are you doing?"

The warm greeting was exchanged for a furious roar from the other party: "Zwick! Look at the good things you have done! Now the Japanese management is very angry and asks me to give them a reasonable explanation immediately.

Edward Zwick looked confused and asked, "I'm sorry Mr. Meyer, I don't understand, what did I do?"

"F*ck!" the other party scolded angrily, "Don't you know yet?!"

Edward Zwick was very aggrieved: "I really don't know......"

The other party suddenly began to scold his mother on the other end of the phone, the voice was so loud that Edward Zwick's right ear was shaken with some tinnitus, and even Tom Cruise and other actors and crew members heard the sharp roar, and they couldn't help but look at Edward Zwick one by one, without making a sound, and listened carefully to what the voice on the phone was roaring.

After scolding his mother for a while, the other party seemed to be almost venting, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "Zwick, the entire script of "The Last Samurai" has been leaked! Now the whole Internet is everywhere! You can't even manage your own team well, and you have made such a big mistake, the whole world knows about it, and you still don't know anything! I have 48 hours for you to go back to Hollywood, and on the way here, you better think about it for me, how to solve this matter!"

Edward was stupid, but the other party didn't say even a word to him, and the phone was rudely hung up, leaving Edward to sit there alone.

The others were staring at him eagerly, and although they could hear that the CEO was angry, they didn't hear what was going on, so they all wanted an explanation from Edward's mouth.

Edward was stunned for a long time, and said with a look of disbelief: "Mr. Meyer said that the entire script of our film has been leaked, and now it is uploaded everywhere on the Internet, but how is this possible? The real script is only known to our core team, and even the actors in the second echelon only know their part of the script......"

Tom Cruise has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he knows too well how much the leak of the script will bring to the movie, so he hurriedly said: "Edward, hurry up and have someone come over with a laptop to check it out!"

Edward came back to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and said to the assistant on the side, "Quick, go get the computer!"

A few minutes later, the assistant rushed to the front with an IBM notebook, and the moment the computer was handed to Edward, he couldn't wait to turn on the screen, and when he saw that the computer had not been turned on, he pressed the boot button and scolded the assistant: "F*cuking-idiot! Don't you know that you can turn on the computer first and then bring it over, so as to save us a little time?"

The assistant lowered his eyelids and said sorry, Edward didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with him, and when the computer was turned on and entered the system, he immediately opened Google.

In Google's search box, he typed in the keywords "The Last Samurai" and "Script" with trembling hands, and then the search feedback page made him instantly collapse after reading it!

The first page of Google's search results is almost entirely full of news reports from major media outlets!

"Tom Cruise's new film "The Last Samurai" is unexpectedly exposed!"

"The script of Warner's new film "The Last Samurai" is exposed!"

"The $140 million masterpiece was exposed before the filming script was completed!"

Filling the screen, it seems that there are only three key words left: "The Last Samurai", "Script", and "Exposure".

Edward's heart chuckled, not only him, but everyone else around him was also scared enough.

Then Edward clicked on one of the links, this is the news of a Hollywood media website, Edward quickly scanned the content of the report, looking for clues in the content, and soon, he saw all the content published by Li Mu in this report!

The others also looked at the part of the script written by Li Mu word by word with Edward, it was okay at first, but the more they looked down, the more shocked they became, everyone seemed to be immobilized by the spell, staring at the screen motionless, only Edward would subconsciously press the downward button after reading it.

Halfway through it, Edward already knew he was finished!

Everything written in this script is the content of my own script, and there is no deviation in the description of the plot, and it is even accurate to make people's hairs stand on end.

By the time he had read it all, he was in despair!

He can already be sure that his script has been 100% leaked, and although the other party has reorganized and described the plot linguistically with a new writing style, it has not produced any deviations in the description of the plot!

"How can this be ......"

Desperate and painful, Edward tore his hair with his fingers, his scalp no longer felt pain, and the despair made him huddle in front of the computer with his head in his hands, muttering to himself that he almost collapsed: "Why...... Why is this happening......"

For a super-large production of 140 million US dollars, the script has been leaked 100%, and the box office may be lost by half.

However, how can I carry it......

Brother Tom was also dumbfounded.

Before the movie was finished, the plot was leaked cleanly, as if the magician's big show was being rehearsed, and all the magic tricks and secrets were already known to the audience, and this blow was fatal!

If this is apocryphal, it can only be said that the level of the person who made it up is very high, otherwise it would be impossible to write it

The English of the three Japanese actors is not very good, but they have also figured out the current situation by piece, and their hearts are even more desperate than Edward and Tom.

Because in their eyes, the significance of this movie is extremely significant, it is not as simple as a job or a commercial movie, it is like a giant ship, carrying a full Japanese culture, carrying a full bushido spirit, ready to sail to the world, and transmit the full load of culture to the world, but before the ship set sail, it has already suffered heavy damage......

Edward, who was constantly chattering in despair, suddenly thought of the CEO's words, and a stirring spirit stood up and said incoherently: "Flight, flight! Hollywood! Hurry! Hollywood!"

Before the assistant could understand it, Edward suddenly began to yell at him hysterically: "Plane ticket! Book me a damn plane ticket! I want to go back to Hollywood! Immediately! Immediately! Right !!now!"

The assistant came back to his senses and couldn't help asking: "Director, you're gone, what will happen to our movie?"

"Go to the special movie! I'm going to shoot a fart at this time! Stop and wait, and I'll make a decision after I go back and ask the CEO for instructions!"

The assistant hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make a call to book a plane ticket, and Edward had already rushed out of the room and ran to his temporary residence.

He has to hurry up and pack some necessary items and go to Hollywood as soon as possible, this matter is very important, how to solve it in the future, not only can he not make up his mind, let alone make up his mind, he can only discuss with the CEO and other bigwigs, or completely obey their orders!
