"Top Gun" was given the green light by the Pentagon all the way and allowed to be filmed, and the planes inside would be provided by the military.

Receiving the good news, Lester thanked Lieutenant General Locke, who spoke to him on the phone, "Thank you for the support of the military." ”

"Lestrore, I wonder if you're going to direct this Top Gun?" asked Lieutenant General Locke with skepticism.

Lester, who recently won the live-action short film award, is still directing a short film and is still a young child, and Lieutenant General Locke still thinks it is good to ask clearly.

Lester also understood what the other party meant, and said: "Lieutenant General Locke, you must know that even if Mr. Spielberg was also a newcomer at the beginning, and he was suspected when he made the film, but he succeeded in the end, and I won the Oscar for live-action short film, which means that I am recognized and have the ability to lead a feature film." ”

"That's good. Lieutenant General Locke hesitated, then agreed and said: "It's up to you to direct, I will send someone to follow up with you to prepare, I hope you won't let me down." ”

"No, it won't. Lester replied, hearing a beep on the phone and placing the microphone on the phone.

Seeing Lester's happy face, the assistants knew that there was something they needed to do, and looked at Lester.

"Call Tom Cruise, come to Bird Films, and call Dimes by the way. Lester turned and walked into the office.

The assistants picked up the phone and called Tom Cruise and Dimes.

I thought that the new "Top Gun" script would be sent to the Pentagon and it would take many days to get a reply, but I didn't expect the military to give the green light and let the script pass quickly, Lester thought of the situation of the military, thoughtfully, and now he needs to draw the storyboard.

In fact, the new "Top Gun" can quickly pass the green light, thanks to the fact that the screenwriter of the original "Top Gun" failed to write it completely, which made them not very satisfied, the army has been over since the end of World War II, and there are very few soldiers who have joined the army, and the military has seen a storyline that is better than the original "Top Gun", so they naturally support it.

took out the A4 drawing, Lester painted according to the scene in his memory, and when he was halfway through the painting, he suddenly found that the fighter plane needed to look at the fighter provided by the military in order to draw it completely.

Lester had to temporarily pause the storyboard of the fighter jet screen.

"Boss, what's the matter with you calling me. Deems pushed the door open and walked in, sat down in front of Leicester, and looked at him suspiciously.

He was arranging the crew's camera when he received a call from his assistant asking him to go to Leicester, and Dimes immediately put down his work.

Lester thought that his royal photographer still needed to go to school, and said helplessly: "Lance, Cod, he still has to study at school, you help me find Jeffrey K. L. Kimbau came over and worked with me on the shoot. ”

I'll go. Dimes got up to run errands.

Spielberg, who hadn't seen him for more than a month, pushed open the office door and walked in, stopping Deems, who was leaving.

"Mr. Spielberg. Dimes shouted, stepping out of the house.

"Wait, Deems. Spielberg called out to Dims, who was about to go out, but had to stop, turned and looked at Spielberg suspiciously.

Spielberg took the script adapted from "The Color Purple" and put it in front of Lester, and said with a smile: "The script has been written, little Lester, you should help me start the capital." ”

"So fast. Lester was surprised to pick up the script on the table and read it.

Although Spielberg extracts the plot of the essence of the novel, the plot of the script still has a lot of differences with the plot of the "The Color Purple" novel.

After reading the script of "The Color Purple", Lester said to Dimes under Spielberg's expectant gaze: "The start-up capital was invested in the filming of "The Color Purple". ”

Spielberg's face was overjoyed, and he picked up the script and went down with Dimes to prepare.

In addition to Lester's investment in the filming of "The Color Purple", Spielberg also injected funds into it, and according to the signing contract, Spielberg can enjoy half of the box office income with Bird Films.

In order to cooperate with Spielberg and get the release of "Purple Rain", Lester had to cooperate with the CAA agency.

The other party packaged "Purple Rain" to him in a packaging way, so that Flying Bird Film and Television obtained the filming rights of "Purple Rain".

Lester was able to easily get the film shot by Spielberg, and thanks to Spielberg's clapper, he was able to get it smoothly.

Thinking of the agent sent by CAA at that time, Lester was a little unhappy, and the other party's reluctant and dismissive look made him almost run away on the spot.

In the afternoon, Tom Cruise, led by his assistant, walked into Lester's office.

"Sit!" Lester looked up and motioned for Tom Cruise to sit down in his chair, then lowered his head again and continued to draw the storyboard.

Tom Cruise saw that Leicester was busy, and did not disturb him, sitting in a chair and looking at Lester's office.

Along the way, Tom Cruise felt that this place was very artistic, and it is estimated that everyone who came in thought that they had walked into an artist.

"How's the character observing? Lester put down his paintbrush and looked up and asked;

Tom Cruise, who was looking around, turned his head and said, "I have already figured out the character of the protagonist, which is the fighter mentioned in the script, and I don't know how to drive it." ”

You don't need to drive the fighter. Lester put the storyboard of Top Gun and said, "Top Gun has given the Pentagon a green light, and Lieutenant General Rock has sent someone over to teach you about fighter jets."

"Am I alone?" asked Tom Cruise;

"It's not. Lester shook his head and said, "In addition to you, the other characters mentioned in the script need to have knowledge of fighter jets. ”

The lines of "Top Gun", after learning what fighter jet to use, Lester needs to change, so in some places the actor also needs to explain the knowledge of fighter jets.

In addition to the main cast, naval pilots will be filming with the crew.

"Let's go!" Lester walked out of the office and towards the audition room, followed by Tom Cruise.

The two went to the audition room, where the audition was over, and Dimes led everyone to discuss who should play the other roles in "Top Gun".

"Leave me alone. The arrival of Lester and Tom Cruise made Dimes and the others stop, and Lester saw this and told everyone to continue.

Sitting on a stool, Lester picked up a list of actors who recorded auditions.

In addition to auditioning for the supporting role and the second male, even the heroine auditioned together.

Lester saw some familiar names on the list of actors auditioning, looked at it and said, "Is the heroine decided?" ”

"We felt played by Kelly McGillis. "Dimes said;

Lester was stunned for a moment, and saw that the list was filled in with Kelly's height, Kelly was 4 inches taller than Tom Cruise, and subconsciously looked at him in Tom Cruise's unknown reason.

A very incongruous feeling came over Lester, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse to use her.

"Here you go. Dimes hurriedly handed him a photo of Kelly, and Lester saw that the other party was wearing a military uniform and a heroic appearance, so he temporarily changed his tone and agreed: "Just use her." ”

Dimes breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw the appearance of Kelly's military uniform, he felt that he was very suitable for playing the heroine.

Leave me the roles of Gus and Carole, I have the right person. Lester booked these two roles, and the other characters mentioned in the script did not intervene.
