After Li Fulong got the script, he knew that this time he was participating in the famous war film "Private Ryan", in fact, he had probably guessed that it was this movie before.

"Private Ryan" can actually be regarded as an American main theme movie.

What is leitmotif?

This is a noun often said by the people of the Celestial Empire, and perhaps a noun coined by the people of the Celestial Empire.

When this word is mentioned, people in the Celestial Empire will think of Dong Cunrui, Jiao Yulu, and Kong Fansen (I'm afraid that someone now doesn't know who this character is?).

Americans don't talk about the leitmotif, because they can do it the other way.

They can use the words of a man named Patton, who likes to talk nonsense, to show that only Americans can defeat Hitler; they let a US president, the first soldier to fly a fighter jet himself, to show aliens that Americans are invincible, incidentally stating that the United States is the only guardian of the earth; they can let a few American miners with at most high Chinese, fly on a space shuttle, fly to a comet that is about to collide with the Earth, and then prove that only Americans can save all mankind.

This is one of the reasons why Europeans, especially the French, boycott Hollywood.

And Spielberg's preparation to shoot this story of eight American GIs saving another GI is the "main theme" of the Americans!

During this time, mixed with Edward Fulong's memories, Li Fulong found that the original Edward was definitely very talented in acting, otherwise he would not have achieved such results at such a young age, you must know that there are many second-generation Hollywood stars.

In addition to studying scripts, Li Fulong spent almost all of his time in the library, mainly reading books about acting, repeatedly consulting many books on the Normandy War of World War II, and then renting DVDs of World War II documentaries to prepare for the upcoming shooting.

The only trouble is that I can receive calls and text messages from Britney Spears every day, and Li Fulong has never figured out how to face Britney, a cheap girlfriend, so he has never replied to her.

Li Fulong, who packed everything, went directly to a remote military training camp in Oregon for 10 days of military training.

It's a funny thing, isn't it? I got my first job as an actor since I crossed over, but I went to boot camp and trained before I was exposed to acting.

If it weren't for being an actor, this would be almost impossible to do in life.

Li Fulong also met the protagonist of the movie, Captain Miller, his idol Oscar winner - Tom Hanks.

"Hi, Tom, I didn't expect you to come so early, it's been a long time!"

Li Fulong has participated in many events before, but he has also met Hanks, but he rarely took the initiative to say hello when he was young and vigorous in the past, and he didn't have many friends in Hollywood.

Li Fulong is also a relatively "introverted" person, and he generally does not deal with living people. But I also know that the minimum respect must be there, at least on the surface.

Look at Zhou Jie, who has been reduced to an "emoji" in the mainland, he is incapable, and he doesn't know how to do public relations, so that Sister Jialin will torture and torture the past, unless he has the ability and status of "Star Master".

"Hi, Eddie, I heard that this training is very strict, you have to work hard!" Hanks patted Li Fulong on the shoulder.

"Yes, Captain!" After speaking, Li Fulong also saluted Hanks solemnly.

"Hahaha, good, Eddie, you're so much more humorous than you used to be! Hanks laughed as he pulled Li Fulong.

Li Fulong has just arrived at the training camp, and he is still a little confused, but compared to Li Fulong, Hanks has been rolling in Hollywood for many years, and a little process is naturally very familiar.

As the two most representative actors in Hollywood in the 90s, if another Tom scored 60 points in his acting skills, this Tom could get at least 90 points.

He was born with a baby face and a mediocre appearance, but he gives people the impression of an honest and reliable good man, with a very happy face and funny and vivid acting skills. No matter what the role, once he performs, it becomes flesh and blood and unforgettable.

Among the many Hollywood stars, who can play from a sympathetic "homosexual" to an honest "imbecile", from a fearless "astronaut" to a heroic "World War II soldier", and all of them are well-hitting! Tom Hanks has done it.

Two-time actor is not unusual, strong in Lianzhuang, Lianzhuang is too difficult, generally the academy will not give 2 consecutive actor to the same person, but Forrest Gump is really at the top of the second, at that moment, Tom Hanks almost became the god of Hollywood.

Before the start of the formal military training, the crew held the first formal meeting of the actors, and Spielberg brought the main actors together to introduce their roles.

"Big guy, I'm Tom Hanks, I believe everyone knows me, you can call me "Tom", playing Captain John Miller, I hope I can spend a happy time with everyone in the future, and I can shoot a good work. As the absolute protagonist of the movie, Tom Hanks was the first to take the initiative to introduce.

Hanks plays Captain John Miller in the film, and Captain Miller is tasked with leading a small team of young and brave soldiers deep into enemy-occupied territory to save Private Ryan.

Then the rest of the actors were also introduced one by one.

Vin Diesel plays Private 1st Class Capazzo, an Italian-New Yorker with a bodhisattva heart. This role was written specifically for Vin Diesel, and Spielberg trusted Diesel so much that he didn't even put a substitute for the role.

Matt Damon, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in the film "Soul Catcher", plays Private James Ryan in the film, probably because this role mainly appears in the second half, and he is very lucky not to have to participate in military training.

Private Daniel Jackson, a sniper in the eight-man rescue team, played by Li Fulong——— a sharpshooter who often reverses the Bible, feels that every target he shoots is God-given.

Li Fulong's eyes looked at the more than a dozen actors sitting in front of him, who would play the heaviest role in "Saving Private Ryan".

His eyes swept over these people one by one, Li Fulong looked at the young and young Vin Diesel, and for a while he felt like a world away, and sighed.

The current Vin Diesel can only be regarded as a young actor, not yet the tough guy boss in the future, and Matt Damon, who has not come, has been nominated for an Oscar, and Xiao Lizi, who has just starred in "Titanic" and became famous, are called the two "golden boys" in Hollywood, and have embarked on the road to superstardom.

Matt Damon was promoted to an A-level celebrity because of the "Spy" series, and Vin Diesel was also promoted to a Hollywood A-list star because of the "Fast and Furious" series.

Coincidentally, both series have changed actors in the middle, and because the box office is not good, they have reassembled the original actors.

"Forrest Gump" Tom Hanks, "Agent" Matt Damon, and "Tough Guy" Vin Diesel, can cooperate with these famous Hollywood figures, Li Fulong feels star-studded, especially Tom Hanks is now a superstar, but also his idol, sometimes Li Fulong feels unreal.

Even excluding big-name actors such as Hanks, Matt Damon, and Vin Diesel, almost all the actors who participated in "Saving Private Ryan" will be important roles in Hollywood in the future, and this kind of super blockbuster that is destined to go down in film history can make many actors popular.

After everyone almost got to know each other, Spielberg made arrangements for this military training, and specially invited a former U.S. Marine Corps captain Dale Day to be an instructor.

The captain, Dale, was clearly interested in getting back to his old job. Especially so many actors who can only be seen in movies are called around by themselves, and I feel very happy.

"From today. You must become trained soldiers as soon as possible. ”

Spielberg emphasized this point when he convened the meeting, he said.

"For the next ten days, Dale will conduct military training for you, during which you will forget your role as an actor, match the names of your respective characters, and learn military knowledge. ”

Li Fulong and these actors looked at each other, and saw that Tom Hanks, the biggest name, had no objections, and they all nodded seriously.

Spielberg continued.

"You'll learn how to use World War II weapons, simple melee and individual tactics, and the code and sign language signals of the World War II army. ”

Military training is not just talking, the next ten days, including Tom Hanks.

Not only did they have to live in tents temporarily, but they also had to march quickly every day, and the basic food for each meal was mainly canned military food.

I wanted to make a classic war movie with a distinct documentary style, not a pure popcorn movie.

From the director to the actors to every member of the crew, it takes a lot of effort, and you don't have to think about it if you want to complete it relatively easily with shooting a popcorn movie.

When the meeting ended, the actors walked out. Spielberg called out to Captain Dale and made a few points.

"You have to get these actors to fully understand the mind of every soldier in war, and experience all the confusion, anxiety, restlessness, revenge and glory of a soldier on the battlefield. In order for this group of actors who are not related to the army to truly think and act like a soldier, they must have the emotions of real soldiers, and they must regard the people around them as brothers who share life and death. Spielberg said to Dale.

"I couldn't agree more. Don't worry, Steven, I'll let them really know what a military man is all about. I believe that in the hearts of the soldiers who are fighting for the country, there is a kind of blood and pride in the hearts of those who have dedicated themselves to the country. The actors had to experience first-hand the hard life of the military to fully understand the feelings. Day looked at Spielberg and understood.

Soldiers enjoyed glory in wartime and were touted as the saviors of the nation and the patron saints of the people. In times of peace, they are always ignored, and people only see their own interests. This is something that is common to both China and the rest of the world.

"A young actor like Edward Fulong must be taken care of and trained as a real recruit. In the end, Spielberg pointed to Li Fulong, who had just walked a short distance, and solemnly explained the matter to Day.

"Don't worry, Stephen, I'll let them, the actors, by the end of their training, have a direct and emotional understanding of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who defended their homeland." ”

"Ahh
