It's still spring in California in May, and the sun doesn't shine as hot as summer, and the cool breeze blows through the Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego, California, which is very comfortable.

"You said that the new person who took over our "Top Gun" knows how to operate the shooting?"

At the airport, Bruckheimer complained to Simpson next to him.

The two suddenly received a message from Paramount executives a month ago that they had changed companies and that the funds would be provided by Bird Films.

Especially when they learned that both the military and Paramount had made "Top Gun" directed by Lestrore, they were shocked.

They began to offer a somewhat incomplete Top Gun script that was replaced by the military, sending a complete script that surprised them very much.

After learning that the complete script of "Top Gun" was actually written by their new owner himself, they barely got their approval, but they were still skeptical about whether they could direct this one well.

In order to get "Top Gun", Lester also cooperated in the development of the film adaptation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to get Paramount executives to agree to Lester.

After all, "Top Gun" has been sending funds in, so that they don't see much value, but the hottest "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" at the moment has made them see a lot of value.

"I heard that he won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. Simpson said with some uncertainty, and said helplessly: "Whether it can be filmed well or not depends on how Lestrore will shoot it." ”

Their producers have been preparing for "Top Gun" for two years, and it is impossible to withdraw because of a new owner.

After a while, a military vehicle and a black Lamborghini came to them.

Major Robert Willard, who is known as a rat in the army, got out of the military vehicle, and the soon-to-be-retired Willard was sent by the Pentagon to assist Lester in filming, and Tom Cruise and George Clooney and others got out of the military vehicle.

Meg Ryan hasn't been found yet, but George Cruise was found first by Paula Wagner.

George Cruise, who had been auditioning on TV, heard Paula Wagner's conditions and immediately signed with Leicester's team as an artist.

George Clooney, who signed into Leicester's team, thought that it might be a while before he could have his own play, but he didn't expect that after the contract was signed, he won the second male role in "Top Gun", playing Gus, which was a big surprise for him.

Major Robert Willard greeted the two and took the actor behind him to receive some knowledge of fighter jets.

Opening the car door, Lester got out of the car, and the driver drove the Lamborghini to the parking space and looked at the two people who were looking at him: "Hello everyone, how is the crew going." ”

Lester cared about the progress of the crew as soon as he came, which gave the two a good impression of Lester's first impression.

Bruckheimer and Simpson told Lester about the crew's progress, and the originally slow "Top Gun" crew received a new "Top Gun" script, and some unsolved problems were quickly resolved.

After listening to the reports of the two, Lester handed the drawn storyboard to the two and said, "What angle is the fighter plane used to shoot, you have installed it for me according to the requirements above." ”

"It's... Simpson took the storyboard and saw that the drawings were well written out in the way of instructions, where the fighter needs to install the camera, and his expression was incredulous.

"Show me. Seeing Simpson's look, Bruckheimer took the storyboard in Simpson's hand, and looked at Simpson after reading it.

The two of them have been producers in Hollywood for I don't know how long, so they naturally know that what they have in their hands is a storyboard for the movie, but they can't believe that Lester has drawn something they haven't done yet.

The two began to look at Lester with admiration, the suspicion in their hearts disappeared, and enthusiastically led Lester to the place where the fighter was parked.

"Meet Mr. Lester. Simpson took Lester to meet the crew.

In addition to the crew, there is also a VFX visual effects company that follows the crew to build a visual angle.

"You follow this way... Bruckheimer holds the storyboard and hands it to the props crew who are installing cameras on the fighter jet.

Received Robert Willard's knowledge of fighter jets at Tom Cruise and others.

Leicester started filming ahead of schedule and decided to shoot the footage of the army pilots.

"Let's go!"

Sitting in front of the monitor, Lester began to shoot at the prepared pilot.

Shout!

In the sky, the F-14 fighter jet flew at different angles, passing through the camera's camera on the fighter to transmit the surveillance footage.

"Cut, pass. ”

The pilot flew out of Lester's request and the route he flew away, and Lester shouted at the pilot in the fighter with a walkie-talkie;

Hearing this, the pilot flew back to land with a smile on his face, and the soldiers who had been waiting for him immediately delivered oil to the fighter.

The fighters to be photographed are not only F-14 fighters, but also A-4 attack aircraft and F-5 fighters.

Lester collected half of the footage of the air pilot, and faced the crew and Jeffrey Brown. L. Kimbau said: "Started filming the scene on land preparing for the fighter jet takeoff. ”

This scene Lester has to prepare for the beginning of the film.

The props team places ropes and other things on the ground, creating a busy stage for the characters.

Begin!

Jeffrey S. L. Kimbau carried the camera to shoot the people in the scene, and the prepared pilot flew out of the airport with the fighter jet.

"I cut it. ”

Seeing that there was no problem, Lester took the walkie-talkie and shouted to the crew.

The shooting is here first, and everyone is ready for the next shooting. Lester archived the filmed footage, asked the crew to go down to prepare, and turned around to go to Tom Cruise and the others.

Approaching the training ground, Lester saw Tom Cruise and others experiencing the flight sensation of a fighter jet.

Pilots carry them through the air.

Lester didn't come forward to experience it, sitting under a sun umbrella and watching them.

……

Outside the audition for 20th Century Fox TV actors, Paula Wagner leans against the wall, occasionally watching the people who come out of it.

These are all actors who come to audition for 20th Century Fox TV auditions.

After a while, a blonde girl came out of it with disappointment, and Paula Wagner's eyes lit up, blocking the way of the blonde girl and saying, "Hello, I'm an agent at UTA Agency, and this is my business card." ”

Meg Ryan was stunned for a moment, took the name from the other party, looked at it and found that this was the agency that had been circulating in Hollywood in recent days, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what you are looking for me." ”

"I want to sign you. Paula Wagner said;
