After saying a cursory goodbye to Aniston and the others, Eric took Nicole and Elizabeth and a few other members of the staff to the gate. After the huge Boeing passenger plane slid through a long run into the sky, and after the plane stabilized, Eric unbuckled his seat belt and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Elizabeth, who always glanced at Eric intentionally or unintentionally, snorted coldly at this time: "This is the fate of greedy men, hum." ”

Eric didn't want to discuss this with Elizabeth, this little girl was obviously eating, so whatever he said was tantamount to teasing the other party, and silence was the best way.

After a four-hour flight, the plane arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and looking out the window, the runway was wet and the sky was overcast, apparently a rain had just fallen.

Compared to Los Angeles, which has more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Seattle's weather is simply the other extreme, because of the temperate oceanic climate, Seattle remains humid all year round, even when it doesn't rain. It is said that the line "It rains in Seattle for nine months every year" in the original version is the complaint of director Nora Efron who always encountered rainy days during the filming process and delayed the filming process.

Under the careful prompting of the flight attendant, Eric and the others added a piece of clothing for themselves before stepping off the plane. Just walked out of the airport though. I still feel a chill in my face.

Temperatures in Los Angeles can still occasionally reach 30 degrees in September. But here in Seattle, it is already a cool autumn, and the temperature is only about 15 degrees.

"Hi Eric. Jeffrey, who came to pick up the airport, saw Eric and walked up to the two and hugged each other.

After greeting him, Eric let go of Jeffrey and asked, "How are you feeling in Seattle lately?"

"It's bad, I don't like the weather here," Jeffrey shook his head.

Eric smiled and reassured, "Bear with me for a few more days." When I'm on track here, you can go to New York. ”

"I know, let's go, the car is outside," Jeffrey said, greeting the others, and leading the group out of the airport and into a couple of vans.

After half an hour of travel, the group arrived at the filming location of the movie in Seattle, Alki Beach. This beach is located southwest of Seattle, about 20 kilometers to get to downtown. Because it is relatively remote, the living environment of the crew is also quite simple.

Elizabeth stood in her room, looking at the simple bed, table and chairs in front of her, as well as the old-fashioned TV set like a small box, with a look of horror, and complained to Eric, who was forcibly pulled over by herself: "Eric, is the crew's funds already tight to this point?"

"Of course not," Eric found the girl's expression very interesting, and quipped, "but it's not yet time to build a five-star hotel here for the crew." ”

"But, I ......," the girl pointed to a qiē in the room with a look of disgust.

"Liz, you see, we're here to make movies, not to enjoy them. In order to save time, we must choose the nearest place to live, and we can't always live better, dozens of people in the crew drive more than 20 kilometers from the city every day to come here, right? This area is a residential area for several kilometers, you should be able to imagine how much congestion will be caused by people driving to work in the city every day, and how much time will be wasted. ”

Elizabeth frowned and said, "But it looks ...... here It's dirty. ”

"If you can't stand it, then you go to the city to stay in a hotel, the conditions of this small hotel near this are quite good, you see, isn't there a TV. Eric smiled and pointed to the old TV with a wooden shell like a small box, and wondered if he should get one, this thing will become an antique after more than ten years, and it may give people a postmodernist literary and artistic feeling when placed in the house.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and gave Eric a 'Are you kidding me' emoji.

After joking, Eric patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "Liz, aren't you going to be a producer? When you make movies in the future, you will definitely encounter a shooting environment that is not even as good as here, and sleeping in the wild is inevitable, what will you do at that time?"

"I ......" The girl bit her lower lip and couldn't help asking: "That, does everyone in the crew live in such a place?"

"Of course," said Eric, "I'm in the room diagonally across from you, and across from you is Nicole." Also, a hotel can't accommodate everyone, so I just said that this is the best one, and the one where the crew and prop masters live is across the street, and the conditions are even worse. ”

Elizabeth pondered for a moment, then turned in silence and dragged her suitcase inside.

After lunch, Eric spent an afternoon inspecting the previous location selection of Jeffrey and others, and in the evening the crew held a simple start-up party, and the next day, "Sleepless in Seattle" officially started.

"Hey, Victor, how are you doing with Uncle Hanks these days?" asked Eric as he crouched down next to a seven or eight-year-old boy in a little red coat and baseball cap as the crew laid out the camera tracks.

The little boy named Victor Morris looked up at his mother, who was guarding him, and after receiving encouragement, he said, "Uncle Hanks is a very good man, and he bought me a lot of gifts." The boy said, pulling out a pocket-sized Transformers model from his pocket and shaking it at Eric, looking like Optimus Prime.

Eric smiled: "Okay, if you wait for your cousin, I'll buy you a gift too, how about a full set of Transformers?"

The little boy looked at his mother again, then shook his head: "No, Mr. Director, my mother said that you have already paid me, so even if there is no gift, I will show it well." ”

Eric patted the boy on the head. I chatted with the little guy a few more times. He stood up and said to Hanks, "What do you think?"

"Victor was obedient. I'm also smart, but I don't know if I can perform the clever energy you requested. To be honest, I think there's a boy who is the perfect fit for the role of Jonah. ”

Eric knew that Hanks was referring to Stuart Runkel. But obviously this is unlikely, even as a supporting role, Stewart's salary is in the millions, and the salary of the little boy in front of him is only 100,000 US dollars. Although fireflies are not short of money, they will not do this unnecessary waste. Although the character of Jonah is also outstanding, he is a supporting role after all. The heroes and heroines are always Sam and Annie.

"Just try a few more times, the key to why I chose this boy in the first place is that he is very obedient. The filming schedule of "Seattle" is not relaxed, and if a disobedient young actor is chosen, it may delay the filming time, which will be a disaster for the crew. ”

"Hehe, I understand. Hanks smiled.

The shooting track was quickly laid, Eric had a brief communication with the two, and Hanks took the little boy to the beach.

The first scene is simple, mainly shots of Sam taking Jonah boating in the sea and frolicking on the beach. Because it's all a vision, there are no acting requirements. So as long as Hanks and the little guy were doing whatever they wanted, Eric explained a few words to the cameraman and assistant director, let them shoot as much footage as possible, and headed for a nearby trailer.

The trailer door is open, Eric walks straight inside, the makeup artist is touching up Nicole's makeup, and when the scene of Hanks and the little guy playful is finished, the girl will also start her first scene, which is the scene where the father and son play from afar, and it is also the first scene where Anne and Sam have their first conversation.

Although the male and female protagonists did not communicate until an hour after the opening scene, Eric planned to put the scene at the beginning of filming.

"Mr. Williams," the two female makeup artists greeted Eric as he entered.

"You go on," Eric soothed Nicole, who was about to stand up, and walked behind the girl, looking at the beautiful woman in the makeup mirror.

After a few moments, Nicole was skillfully cleaned up with a makeup brush, and the makeup artist said to Eric, "Mr. Williams, do you think this is okay?"

Nicole also got up, standing in front of Eric, and turned around in a demonstrative circle.

At this time, the girl was wearing a small white suit and tube skirt, white high heels, and a wide hooded gray trench coat, exactly like Meg Ryan's outfit in memory. It's just that although the two are equally beautiful, they have nothing to do with each other in temperament, and Eric wants a silly and sweet heroine.

"Nicole, imagine you're Anne Ryder, and laugh at me. Eric leaned against a table and said to the girl.

Nicole pondered for a moment, and after a moment, tilted her head slightly and cracked her little mouth, looking at Eric stupidly. Suddenly, a very silly and sweet breath came to my face. Eric was stunned and snapped his fingers approvingly, "Good, that's it." ”

After Nicole got Eric's approval, she quickly suppressed her expression and turned back into the tall and cold Nicole Kidman, looking at Eric and waiting for the other party's next command.

Eric doesn't mind the girl's expression changes, as long as Ni can quickly change states while performing.

"By the way, you should have figured out how Anne walked, right?"

"Of course," Nicole nodded, looked left and right, picked up a satchel and hung it hastily over her shoulder, looking like it was about to fall off at any moment, and then lazily walked out of the trailer with a completely different figure-of-eight step than she was used to.

"That's wonderful," Eric said again, Nicole's watch was far beyond his expectations.
