Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Hotel Casino, the crew of "MIT-21-team" is filming the last shot, in the middle of the two rows of slot machines, a group of casino security guards in suits and leather shoes look serious, the members of the MIT team are all ordinary young people, all around a slot machine with a smile on their faces, the corners of Natalie's mouth are slightly upturned, and she said: "Then try gambling!"

She grabbed the joystick of the slot machine and pulled it down, and suddenly there was a rolling sound of "ding ding ding". The expressions of Alexis, Jay Baruchel, Wu Yanzu and others gradually became a little surprised, as if they had seen something incredible.

"cut-!" Wang Yang, who was standing next to the camera, shouted, looked around with two thumbs up, nodded to everyone and laughed, "Of course, we're done!" The crew suddenly burst into a burst of cheers and applause, Vary-Pfister turned off the camera, and also smiled and applauded with both hands, plus this gambling film, he has given Magic Yang 5 movies, different styles, it's crazy!

"The beginning and end are a lot of lines, a lot of lines, it's really unforgettable!" Natalie came to Wang Yang's side, slapped him in the chest, and said with a smile: "Remember my headache!" Wang Yang, who had just finished hugging Valey, gently hugged her, and then walked to the next one, thanked the leading actors, film crew, and led the staff, clapped his hands and smiled: "Guys, thank you very much for your efforts in the past month or so!"

He looked at the employees who were packing up the equipment, the smiling Natalie, Ali, Wu Yanzu, Joshua...... and Rachel, who had already finished filming her own scene a few days ago, but Rachel, who came to visit the class today, held her thumb with dimples exposed, smiling faces, and the heavy atmosphere of war expectations did not soak into the set.

"We shoot very fast, action during the day, action at night, and even action on weekends, you can sue me for abusing employees!" Listening to his self-deprecating tone, everyone let out a burst of chuckles, Wang Yang spread his hands and looked around at them, and said with a smile: "But I really can't blame me, because someone is rushing back to Boston to go to school and will graduate in June, although she said, 'Don't worry, no problem.'" But I don't want her to do it again. ”

Under everyone's gaze, Natalie has a faint smile on her face, like a traditional and stereotypical good girl. Wang Yang looked at her and said with a smile: "I can't finish my studies myself, and I can't drag others down! Natalie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be able to finish my job because of gambling, but you've already caused me to be scolded as a Harvard traitor." ”

Similar to USC &UCLA, Harvard and MIT share a long history of rivalry and feuds. MIT's students are like Jeff Ma, their minds turn fast and they dare to play anything, and student pranks are also one of its labels, even the president has not escaped, let alone Harvard University, which is teased all day long. The most talked about was in 1982, when Harvard played a football game with Yale.

In the second half of the first half, Harvard scored on the baseline, but at this time, a small black ball suddenly appeared near the 46-yard line on the court, and it became bigger and bigger, with the eye-catching "MIT" written on it. When the black ball swelled to almost 2 meters in diameter, it exploded with a bang, and the result was that the entire stadium was filled with smoke, which greatly embarrassed Harvard University, which was at home.

"Nata, whoever says you're a Harvard traitor, you say I'm actually an undercover agent, and that movie will make everyone think that MIT's students are bad gamblers. Wang Yang looked very serious, everyone laughed again, Ma Kaiwen also smiled very honestly, there was nothing cool at all, Natalie nodded: "Good idea." Wang Yang clapped his palms and smiled: "So that's it, thank you!"

After everyone applauded again, the film assistants and field staff packed up their equipment and left, and Wang Yang and others also walked outside the casino with a smile.

Looking at Wu Yanzu next to him, Wang Yang asked with a smile as he walked: "How is it? Daniel, is there any difference between filming in Hong Kong?" Wu Yanzu frowned after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "It's slow here, but it's fast in Hong Kong." Wang Yang smiled when he heard this, he knows that Hong Kong films are made quickly, it is said that a movie can be completed in the craziest week, and it is not a DV, he smiled: "It's not slow, my filming speed on the set is notoriously fast." ”

Of course, this also requires his salary to be sufficient, and at the same time, the crew has a great tacit understanding in cooperation, and there is enough work in the preparation period.

"In Hong Kong, the norm is nine hours a day, and here it is overtime. Wu Yanzu said an accurate data, the division of labor here is very clear and detailed, there are many departments, the workload is slow, very rigorous and thorough, maybe it has something to do with the investment level;

"Daniel, if you have the opportunity to work together again in the future, I think there will definitely be. Wang Yang waved his fist a few times as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Don't waste your kung fu, next time we will fight again!" Wu Yanzu suddenly covered his face tiredly and said, "You can kill me now." ”

Outside the Caesars Hotel, in addition to the staff who need to handle the drama, the leading actors all say goodbye to each other, preparing to leave Las Vegas and return to Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco with their personal assistants...... Because of the expected war, the crew did not hold press conferences, celebration banquets and other things after the finale, so as not to attract unnecessary right and wrong.

"Man, what's wrong?" Wang Yang saw Joshua looking intently at the white statue not far away, Alexis was laughing and talking with Rachel, Wang Yang pushed him, Joshua hurriedly asked, "What, what?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and asked, "I asked how you are?" It's been a month, and you haven't dated her yet? You know, this is what you did a week ago. ”

"No! I said it was different this time!" Joshua said, taking deep breaths, still looking anxious, "I can't be so rash! I know she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but I've heard that Milo Ventimiglia, the male protagonist of "Gilmour Girls," has an affair with her. Looking at his cowardly appearance, Wang Yang laughed and said, "You really look like your first love, please, ask her out to dinner." ”

Joshua clutched his head in anguish, still not daring to muster up the courage, and he now had some of a sense of what it meant to be afraid of rejection.

Looking at Alexis with a quiet smile over there, Wang Yang thought about it and smiled: "According to my observation this month, Ali is the kind of girl who is very quiet, more homely than your sister. Usually you have to chase this kind of girl, either she is very deceitful and sweet-talking and cool, but I don't think Ali is not, she is a well-informed person, or, you don't play any tricks, she can see that she has feelings for you, and if she doesn't, she doesn't. I can't say for sure, you're younger than her, will a Catholic girl accept it?"

"It's less than a year younger!" Joshua gritted his teeth and said with an anxious face: "What age is it now? This is a popular trend!" Wang Yang shook his head and sighed: "It seems that your sister has had a great influence on your childhood!" Joshua frowned in disgust: "Get out of here, is she as cute as Ali?"

Wang Yang glared at him fiercely and said, "She's the best!" Joshua looked at Alexis who hugged Rachel and said goodbye, nodded and said, "Yes." Wang Yang smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can do it yourself!" But I will give you a suggestion, you can tell her a bad joke, if she laughs, then she is probably interesting to you, the happier she laughs, the happier she is, if she doesn't laugh, laughs politely, laughs without interest, then stop for the time being!"

"Looks like yes!" Joshua's eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "I knew you were a master of chasing girls!

"I want to think about it......" Wang Yang thought about it intently, it must be very bad but there is a certain amount of laughter, otherwise it will feel inexplicable no matter how much it feels, after thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Well, there is a sugar (sugar), it walks in the North Pole, it feels so cold, and then it becomes rock candy (crystal-sugar)." Joshua nodded and muttered, "crystal-sugar." ”

"If she smiles, be confident! Wang Yang pretended to be affectionate, his eyes were full of urgency, and he smiled: "So, Ali, how about we go out for dinner?" I know there is a great restaurant, you must like it." He smiled and pushed Joshua hard, and said, "Go ahead, put away your first love, and give her more security!"

Joshua took a deep breath and walked towards Ali with heavy steps. Ali, who had just finished saying goodbye to Rachel, laughed when she saw him. Joshua endured the feeling of intoxication and smiled, "Ali, tell you a joke, I just got it." Alexis nodded, "OK." Joshua's heart suddenly lifted and he said, "There's a candy ...... Then it turned into rock sugar. ”

"What, that's it?" Alexis glared slightly, then chuckled softly, "It's funny. ”

Joshua's heart was beating fast, and he tried to make himself appear confident and mature, a little breathless, and said with a smile, "By the way, Ali, how about we go out for dinner?" I know there's a great restaurant, and you're going to love it......!" He was so nervous that his heart ached.

Alexis sighed, looked at his face, and suddenly nodded and smiled: "Okay, when?"

Oh Jesus! When Joshua heard her say yes, Joshua felt a great joy and wanted to cry, and he exclaimed, "That's it, how about tomorrow, when are you free?" Joshua finally grinned, looked at her smiling face, and said, "Then I'll call you tomorrow, tonight! I'll call you tonight...... Or tomorrow, right?" Ali shook her head and laughed, "I don't know, my phone isn't that busy." ”

"Well, we'll talk about it tonight. With that, Joshua hurriedly turned around and walked away, puffing out his cheeks and exhaling a long breath, wow! He clenched his fists with excitement, and wanted to jump up and wave at once, dating is the beginning of love! Joshua was about to rush towards Wang Yang excitedly, but saw him and Natalie laughing and talking something.

"I want to listen to jokes, the kind when Juno's was finished!" Natalie remembered the joke and covered her mouth to vomit, but she laughed and sighed in her heart, for her, this disgusting joke was like a mark, she collaborated with him on a second movie, will there be a third? when? Looking up at the smiling face of this good brother, she said with great interest: "I don't want it if it's not disgusting and unchanging!"

Wang Yang frowned after thinking about it, he talked about it almost every day on the set, although he was not a disgusting pervert, but there was really not much stock...... He laughed, "I think about it, it's disgusting, there's a candy, it's running naked in the North Pole, it feels so cold, and then it turns into rock candy." ”

"Rock candy, poof!" Natalie laughed out loud, followed by a hehehehe, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Not enough! Running naked is not disgusting enough! Surely not this, right?"

Seeing her unhappy appearance, Wang Yang suddenly scratched his forehead, nothing, the goodwill has always existed, he nodded and smiled: "Yes, in fact, this is, listen, there is a guy trapped on a lonely island." Natalie couldn't help but interject and laughed: "Haha, it's a desert island again, I like it!"

"It's not a desert island, there is plenty of food and water, the weather is beautiful, and his companions are a Doberman Pinscher and a pig. Wang Yang said again, hearing this, Natalie glared at him, and smiled in surprise: "You won't be, right?" Wang Yang ignored her, and continued to laugh: "So he was quite comfortable, but after a few months, loneliness hit, and the fat pig began to become more and more attractive, you know, flesh pink, soft and round buttocks. ”

Natalie gritted her teeth in disgust, and Wang Yang also bared her teeth, and said in a passionate voice: "But whenever this guy wants to do something to the pig, his Doberman Pinscher will hold his leg in heat, and then, you know, keep stirring, which is very frustrating." Natalie shrugged and said, "My Charlie won't." ”

"One day, all of a sudden, a rubber boat drifted to the shore, and yes, he saved a beautiful unconscious woman, very, very beautiful, hot. Wang Yang closed his eyes and looked aftertasted, and sighed: "Like Natalie Portman, like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor...... It's when they're young. Natalie laughed, Wang Yang smiled: "He saved her, patiently took care of her and restored her health, and the woman was very grateful to him, and said to him, 'Thank you! I really don't know how to repay you, I will do anything for you, anything, you just say it!'"

He said in a shrill voice, then held his chin, looked pensive, and said, "That guy thought for a minute, and then said to Natalie Hepburn Taylor, 'Can you take my dog out for a walk?'"

Natalie was stunned for a second, her shoulders shook uncontrollably, she laughed without making a sound, the corners of her mouth twitched with laughter, and it took a while before she panted and laughed, "Do you want to laugh at the dead?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Yang patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I wish you a smooth graduation." Natalie spread her hands and smiled: "I said don't worry, there is only one situation when I can't graduate, and that is to write the joke just now into the paper." Wang Yang smiled: "It's better not to." ”

With the official completion of "MIT-21-team", although there is no press conference, but the news will naturally spread, even if the war is imminent, the entertainment industry will not stop, especially the fans of the United States overseas, especially in the Greater China region, have been paying attention to the latest developments since it started filming, what does this movie look like?

Now fans are looking forward to its first version of the teaser trailer, which will unveil the mystery of its first layer.

And the post-production work of the film also started, in addition to some shots to be done special effects, the editing work is also being carried out simultaneously, as an editor, Wang Yang found Margaret Goodspeed, this is also the fourth time that the two have collaborated after "Youth Musical", "When Happiness Knocks", and "Juno".

Wang Yang ignored the first cut version of the sequence of the script for the time being, he was very relieved to hand over the scissors to this Margaret, the tacit understanding and experience made her know very well what he wanted, and his storyboard script had a general idea. He didn't stop to rest, except for going to the editing room of "Prison Break" to do some supervising work, and he also had to devote himself to the preparation of "The Demon Wears Prada", striving to start filming as soon as possible.

A few days after the film was completed, with the expiration of George W. Bush's 48-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein, on March 20, 2003, Iraqi time, the Allies officially declared war and launched air strikes on strategic cities and ports such as Baghdad and Basra. As soon as the war began, George Bush made a nationally televised speech, announcing the start of the war and once again emphasizing that the war would be resolved quickly and in hours.

Then the casualties appeared, Iraqi soldiers, civilians, and a member of the U.S. Marine Corps were killed on the 21st, the first American soldier to die in this war, and the news was transmitted back to the United States, and naturally there was a lamentation, and the anti-war faction protested more fiercely, and the main war faction also shouted "This moment must be united!"

The outbreak of war affected all aspects of the world, and the flame movie was naturally not in a vacuum, and "Chainsaw", which was originally scheduled to be released in early April, suddenly became out of place, even if it was to promote the preciousness of life, but bloody horror is not the current market demand, so it was postponed to November, of course, whether it will be postponed again depends on the situation at that time.

Anti-war demonstrations continue to spread around the world, and TV channels now broadcast live images of the war throughout the day, with all sorts of retired and active generals coming out to discuss and analyze, White House officials speaking, and newspapers are all about war, war, war, war, and the Oscars.

After three days of war, the sound of bombing was almost uninterrupted, and it was March 23, the day of the 75th Academy Awards.
