In the restaurant, Zheng Xiujing was smiling when she was eating, and Chi Mingzhe was wiping her mouth from time to time.

The girl pestered him and cried for a while, and finally coaxed him. It's just that he was hungry again, and he blamed him vigorously, all because he made himself sad and forgot to eat, and he had to make food for her. There was a lot of food in the kitchen refrigerator, so he took out two Kobe steaks and fried them in the pan, while Xiujing took the fruit and nibbled on the side, and kept urging him.

"I'll get along with Ji-yeon in the future, don't worry about it!"

"It's good if you say so, I'll send you back after eating, I'll have something to do tomorrow morning. ”

"I don't! I'll sleep here. ”

"Okay! ”

Seeing that Xiujing was very persistent, he didn't object.

Back in the bedroom, Xiujing hugged him like an octopus, still pouting.

"What?"

"People are sad because of your fault, and they don't comfort me. ”

"Ghost girl...... Kiss!...... Alright, let's sleep!"

"I don't!"

Chi Mingzhe kissed her little cheek but didn't satisfy her, he had to taste his little tongue, could the goldfish guy not agree?

Soon Zheng Xiujing fell asleep in his arms, screwed on the lamp, patted her back gently in the dark, and her eyelids sank......

At Los Angeles Airport, Hwang Jung-myung, Cheon Ho-jin and Park Sung-woong got off the plane, then got in the car to pick them up and drove towards the Malibu Beach Hotel. Ji Mingzhe was waiting for them, and after the two sides met, they had dinner together. Then let them go back to their rooms to rest, and the jet lag will still fall.

The crew of "The Departed" after Lee Young-sik returned to the United States. officially began to be formed, and Leonardo also joined the crew early. The whole filming location was originally intended to be set in Boston, and this is how he set up the scene when he adapted the script, all the stories took place in Boston, but if it was filmed locally, there were many tax considerations, and the local tax rate was relatively high, and the result was that New York promised to give a 15% tax concession, and he immediately took the crew on the plane.

This year's North American film market has seen a number of blockbuster films, such as Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Fernando Merrells' City of God, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, Peter Weir's The Raging Sea, and Clint Eastwood's The Mysterious River. Of course, his own "Cold Mountain" is also very good at the box office and word of mouth, but Ji Mingzhe knows how coquettish Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will be at the 76th Academy Awards next year, and will win an unprecedented 11 Oscar nominations in all 11 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

For the Oscars, Chi Mingzhe has ambitions, not only for the re-emergence of MGM. On the other hand, it is also to make a name for himself, and now he is a person who has achieved a lot in music in the eyes of most people, and many people think so. But as for himself, his original job was film director, and he studied hard for four years in college. Now that he has become his deputy, he is a little ridiculous. Moreover, although the production cost of "Cold Mountain" has increased a lot more than in the previous life. And it's better, but he still doesn't feel safe. Thinking about the momentum of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", he had to shoot "The Departed" in advance and add a double insurance to himself. After all, this movie won Best Director and Best Picture at the 79th Oscars in 2007 in his previous life, and although it is a pity to take it out now, winning the award is his main purpose.

It's late August at this time, and the schedule is very urgent, Ji Mingzhe not only has to finish the film in a short time but also post-production, and then promote the final release, everything has to be rushed before December 31 at the end of the year, this is simply a desperate rhythm, the time period of the Oscar selection is January 1 - December 31 every year, and the movies released during this period are released.

"Let's fight it!"

Of course, the crew mobilization meeting lasted for two hours, and bluntly said that he was going to use this film to run for the Academy Awards, of course, all the participants were high-spirited, especially the main actors, as for the supporting actors, because there were not many scenes, they didn't even call them to participate in this meeting. Leonardo listened to Chi Mingzhe's words and held his chin there on the spot, looking at him like that, Chi Mingzhe knew that he was stunned, Xiao Lizi had been thinking about the Oscar for a long time, and he had also heard it from Johnny Depp and Jude Law and others.

As early as 1993, Leonardo was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 66th Academy Awards for his performance in "A Different Sky", but unfortunately he didn't get it. Then 95 years of "Romeo and Juliet" won him the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival, and the later "Titanic" was even more unsuccessful, until the Golden Globe Awards at the beginning of this year, he was only nominated for "Impunity", and then, there was no then, anyway, Chi Mingzhe found in his memory that Leonardo really did not win an Oscar until 2015.

"Leonardo!"

"What?"

"Fight for it. ”

Seeing that Ji Mingzhe's expression was very solemn, Leonardo nodded. As for the final result and whether Xiao Li can win the award, Chi Mingzhe does not dare to guarantee anything.

Subsequently, Hwang Jung-myung, Cheon Ho-jin and Park Sung-woong all expressed their attitudes, and there was no problem at all, and the shooting intensity was nothing compared to the original in South Korea. No one in the entire crew was dissatisfied, even if they stayed up all night without a day off. The entire crew has been run-in through the movie "Cold Mountain", and Chi Mingzhe said frankly that the bonus will be very generous, and the food and drink will be arranged the best, what else is there to say......

The following days unfolded in extreme busyness, Leonardo played the protagonist Billy in the play, Hwang Jung-myung played the other protagonist Colin, and Cheon Ho-jin played the evil and sinister gangster Frank Castro in the movie, and Park Sung-woong played the assistant to the head of the special operations team of the police department in the play, Ding Nam, all entered the role according to the script plan. Other. For example, the gangster boss's right-hand man "Mr. France" is still played by Ray Winston, who worked with Chi Mingzhe in "Cold Mountain". This is a powerful old actor, although he has not won any awards. But the acting skills didn't have to be said at that time, he also chatted with Qian Haozhen quite well, and at the same time envied him to be taken care of by Ji Mingzhe, a fellow countryman, in Ray Winston's view, the Asian actors in these three crews can play the main roles in this movie, and Ji Mingzhe is inseparable from them as Koreans, and they can take care of their fellow villagers everywhere, but they themselves must also be able to provoke this trust and care. There are many people in the crew who have such a cognition, and everyone is watching.

In Hollywood, there is no shortage of good actors. There are so many powerful acting schools that don't choose, and they still need to go all the way from South Korea to find someone to make this movie? Even if the three of them are all signed actors under Chi Mingzhe. This is also what Leonardo once worried, after all, in the eyes of these Hollywood people, the current Asian actors are still not recognized, for this reason, Huang Zhengming, Cheon Ho-jin and Park Sung-woong are all holding back their strength in private, they want to use all their energy to play the roles in this movie well, show these Hollywood people, we Korean Smecta is also powerful. Huang Zhengmin is better. filmed "The Mechanic" before, and Cheon Ho-jin and Park Sung-woong were full of fighting spirit.

“cat！”

"Brother Zhengming, when you rest, your face is a little wrong. ”

"It's okay director, I can still hold on!"

Huang Zhengming is very stubborn. Especially in the shooting, he was very meticulous, which also made him look a little nervous. He wanted to prove himself too much.

"Go rest and shoot later! I'm a little tired. ”

"Okay!"

It's not easy to look at the way he walks.

Last night he had a high fever. After hanging water in the hospital, he immediately returned to the scene and insisted on shooting. This professionalism also made many people in the crew change their original views, and the performance of the three of them impressed the entire crew, the acting skills are very good, and the English is quite fluent, there is no strange accent, and it is still a standard New York accent.

This also has a lot to do with Chi Mingzhe's frequent supervision, he himself is a New York accent, which was formed when he was in college, and now the company's actors and singers are required to speak fluent English, no matter what the reason, everyone in the company spontaneously learns English, and they all come to the New York accent. Is it good to vote for the boss!

The tired crew members at the supper are up again, their food is quite rich every day, and they change their tricks from time to time, and the supper at night is also served with steak, trout and lobster, which makes everyone eat crookedly.

"Our crew's food was probably the best of all the crews in Hollywood ever. The only regret is that you can't drink. ”

Leonardo and Chi Mingzhe sat together, clutching a lobster in their hands and nibbling on it.

"Everyone has worked hard, and I am very grateful, eat well as it deserves. ”

"Well, it's been hard, I've lost a few pounds. ”

During this time, the crew is really trying their best to catch up with the schedule, if they don't fight, it's September, and according to Ji Mingzhe's plan, it should be finished in a week at most, and there can be no mistakes at this time.

Even MGM has already started to launch a promotion, and now he is waiting for Ji Mingzhe to edit some trailers to play. This movie is also ready to be released at the end of November, Perry is also puzzled by this, the investment in this film is not small, reaching more than 100 million US dollars, and the budget for publicity is not counted, why can't you take it seriously, you have to rush to death like this, he himself has been on the set, especially when he saw many crew members who couldn't sleep when they found a place casually, and I was still puzzled at the time, afraid of causing any labor disputes, and after learning about it, I knew that even Chi Mingzhe was like this, and he was a little speechless for a while.

"Everyone's attention!

The reporter holds the clapperboard and looks in front of the camera. Now that the filming of the film has come to an end, many actors have also ended filming and left the crew.

"Smack......

“Action！”

The elevator door opens, and Colin, played by Huang Zhengming, has just returned from the supermarket, holding a paper bag with all kinds of food in it. A borrowed puppy barked at him in the aisle, then flashed past him at the tug of an extra, an old lady. Looking back, Hwang Jung-myung opened the door of the house, only to be greeted by a pistol, Ding Nam, played by Park Sung-woong, has been missing for a long time after resigning from the police force, and is now holding a gun at Hwang Jung-min.

“cat！”

Later, some shots were retaken, and finally Ji Mingzhe held the storyboard script that had been rolled up in his hand.

"It's finished! Let's rest for a while!"

No one cheered, not even applause, most of the people found a place to sit down at the scene. Ji Mingzhe's voice just now was also weak, and he also thought about it, he couldn't play like this in the future. Leonardo and Qian Haozhen finished filming all the scenes last night, and they haven't woken up much until now......

"It's finished?"

Perry couldn't help but tremble in his heart, this movie only took 28 days from the establishment of the crew to the completion of filming.

"This quality?"

When he saw the tired Ji Mingzhe pulling the withered Li Rongzhi into the editing room again, he wanted to say anything and was embarrassed to say anything again, and soon MGM-Luen Mei's propaganda machine was in full swing, and five days later, Ji Mingzhe cut out a few trailers and let them use them to promote, and it was not until early November that "The Departed" was all edited.

"Oh oh! Oh my squish! Oba is tired! Hurry up! Magic, let me loosen up!"

"Well...... How?"

In the room, Kim Taeyeon first blinked with big eyes and looked at Ji Myung-cheol who was slumped on his bed, and then shyly took off his coat and threw his clothes on the sofa one by one, seeing that it meant to strip himself naked.

"Whack your back, little fool! hehe......"

"Oba!"

Taeyeon is ashamed. (To be continued.) )
