Donald. Trump has always been a man who likes to be in the limelight, as evidenced by his penchant for playing tricks in Hollywood movies.

After choosing the heroine's childhood role for Ivanka, Donald even wanted to play the heroine's father himself, but Donald. Mr. Trump's pampered image had nothing to do with Oklahoma farmers, and Eric firmly refused the request. But Donald. Trump personally took Ivanka, who had just come to summer vacation, to Punk City, Oklahoma.

At eight o'clock in the evening, on a small farm on the outskirts of Cyberpunk, the crew was busy arranging the filming scene, and Eric was sitting in the director's chair, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. Trump chatted casually, while Ivanka teased a poodle not far away, and the little guy will also be involved in the filming.

Donald looked at his daughter not far away, and said casually: "Eric, I heard that the filming during this period of time is not very smooth?" ”

Eric remembered the previous two months of filming and said, "It's a bit frustrating, but fortunately the big scenes are almost finished, and the next shoot will be much easier." What about you, how is your business lately? ”

Donald. "I'm going to build a high-rise apartment in Manhattan and I'm financing it," Trump said. Eric, you don't have a property in New York yet, do you? ”

Eric thought to himself that Donald was talking about the famous Trump Tower near the United Nations headquarters in his previous life, he didn't know when this building was built, but it shouldn't be so early, it seems that his appearance has affected a lot of things.

Because of certain experiences in past lives. Eric wasn't interested in high-rise apartments. It's even a little annoying. He prefers single-family buildings. But hear Donald. Trump's pitch, Eric did not refuse, and it is also a good choice to buy such a high-rise apartment Jinwu Zangjiao.

"I'll check it out when it's done."

Donald. Trump just said it casually, and Eric's answer was almost a promise, and he didn't continue the topic.

While the two were talking, Ivanka came running with the puppy and squatted on the ground and held the little one in her arms. Looking at Donald expectantly. Trump: "Dad, Bock is so good, can I take it home?" ”

Donald knew that the puppy was a domesticated animal actor, and said, "Ini, Poke is still going to stay and film, can't I go home with you." ”

Ivanka didn't quite understand what Donald meant, and when she heard her father's answer, she was immediately a little unhappy.

Eric also said in a lively manner at this time: "Ini, this puppy also has an owner, and it will cost at least $1,000 to bring it home." Do you have that much money? ”

Eric doesn't know how much this animal actor is worth, but he just thinks of last year's little Lori's money fan table. casually said a number to see how she would react.

Sure enough, after Eric said this, Ivanka suddenly showed a disappointed look, pursed her thin lips, and thought to herself that 1,000 dollars, that is 1,000 dollars, she can't take it out now. The puppy in his arms seemed to feel Ivanka's loss, and very humanely stuck out his tongue and licked Ivanka's little hand.

Eric sensed Ivanka's affection for the puppy, and said, "But, Ini, if you are good next, I can buy Pock and give it to you." ”

Ivanka was happy at first, but quickly shook her little head: "I don't want it." ”

Eric was a little surprised: "Why? ”

"Because my mother used to tell me that boys must be playing with bad ideas when they give girls things, so I don't want to accept your gifts."

Seeing that Ivanka obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but her serious little appearance, Eric and Donald glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Ivanka saw that the two of them suddenly burst out laughing, and suddenly showed an angry expression: "You are all bad guys, ignore you." ”

After saying this, Ivanka called the name of the puppy and ran not far away.

An assistant director quickly came over to inform Eric that the scene was arranged, and after drinking the coffee in his hand in three or two sips, Eric got up and started working, this scene was edited out and occupied about three minutes of the whole film, and it must not be finished tonight, fortunately, little Lori is on summer vacation, so there is no need to hurry.

However, during the filming, Eric had a small argument with Ivanka.

Looking at the bear doll in her hand, Ivanka complained to Eric: "Why are you holding this, I'm going to be ten years old soon." ”

Of course, Eric can't say that this is his bad taste, and after Ivanka appeared in "Ghost Love", Eric planned to always make the girl appear in his next movies as a little girl holding a puppet, like an old man who is always elusive in superhero movies.

"Ini, it's a prop for the movie, you see, that's what the script says," Eric shook the script in front of Ivanka.

Obviously, little Lori didn't know that the script could be changed, and when she saw that something like the script was written that Qiu was holding a bear puppet in her arms, she had to obediently obey.

After this scene was started, the filming was unusually smooth, although little Lori occasionally looked stupid, but it was only limited to the limitations of age, but the filming was very aura, and even fewer mistakes than the two adult actors who played her parents, and it only took two nights for this scene about Qiu's childhood experience to be filmed.

When leaving, Ivanka still took the puppy in the end, and it often happens that the actor has a relationship with the animal actor because of the filming, and then adopts it.

After Ivanka left, the filming of the crew continued in an orderly manner, because most of the thrilling scenes had already been filmed, and the following filming did not appear too much.

In the second week of June, at the Los Angeles Disney headquarters, an internal viewing party that has attracted the attention of many people is being held here. Eisner, Robert. Shay, along with Disney's top executives, appeared in the screening room.

Although the first movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan has been taken away by "Terminator 2", "Cut Throat Island" was released earlier than "Terminator 2". So this movie, whose budget has also been increased to $100 million, has received no less attention from the media and fans than "Terminator 2".

Inside the screening room. After a short intro. Gina. Davis plays the heroine Morgan. Adams first made a simple small reversal appearance, and then there was a real-life picture of the huge pirate ship taken by the air, and the picture of the huge pirate ship moored on the sea under the magnificent sea sunset is very beautiful, and then, the heroine boarded the pirate ship, and the pirates on the ship had a series of confrontations, and Shun Lì took over the role of his father's captain. And led the pirates to start the treasure hunt.

If Eric was on the scene, he would definitely find that the part of the city chase in the movie is very similar to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" in his memory, and even the costumes, sets and other pictures in the movie are in the same vein as "Pirates of the Caribbean".

However, the biggest difference between the two movies is that there are no special effects scenes in "Cut Throat Island", even the scene where the last two warships shell each other, they don't use too many special effects, and they are completely real live shooting.

But it is precisely because of the lack of any special effects that this large-scale pirate film has no highlights, and the plot of the whole two hours from beginning to end seems a little unpopular.

Maybe it's because the expectations are too high, after the two-hour movie is played. Not many people in the screening room applauded, and many looked at each other instead. Because after watching a movie, they didn't feel anything special about this movie at all, even if it was the scene where the last two ships shelled each other, for these people who have experienced the visual baptism of many war movies, they don't have any feeling of excitement. Moreover, the heroine's treasure hunt process also seems too bland and there is no suspense.

After the lights in the screening room came on, Michael. Eisner's face was visibly gloomy, and until now, he hadn't thought that this was a big hole that Eric had dug. But it seemed very bland, and there was no cool movie played, and he took it for granted that the mistake was Rainey. Harlem head.

Rainey at this time. Although Haring, as the director of the film, did not sit in the first row, but with Gina. Davis sat in the second row together, but was placed in the middle of Michael. Eisner and Robert. Behind Shay.

Seeing the reaction of everyone in the screening room after the movie was played, Rainey. Harlem also clearly had a hint of something unpleasant.

He also realized that the film was too unfocused. However, Rainey. Harlem didn't think it had much to do with him. Because although he is the director of this movie, as a blockbuster whose investment has been forced to $100 million, even if he is the director, he does not have much authority, although he participated in the editing of the movie, but the final editing power in the later stage is not in his hands.

And, Rainey. Harlem originally built the film into an R-rated film. In that case, many scenes can be played more freely. But because of the cost, Disney and Robert. Shay didn't agree with his proposal, and the film was set at PG-13, which meant that there could be no intense and bloody scenes in the film, so it now seems that the fights between the pirates are a bit child's play.

Michael. Eisner really wanted to complain about what kind of garbage this was, but with so many people here, it was impossible for him to say such a thing. What's more, this movie is his full support, Michael. If Eisner really said that, he would be slapping himself in the face.

Having been making movies for more than ten years, Robert. Shay's eye for movies is also very good, at least, he still has a considerable appreciation for the finished films, so after watching it, Robert . Shay also had a bad premonition in his heart.

"So, let's talk about it, how is the movie, where is it...... Where do I need to modify it? ”

After everyone moved to the conference room, Michael. Eisner was the first to speak.

More than a dozen people in the conference room looked at each other, and if they were able to climb to the high-level seats, their judgment on the box office prospects of the movie would not be too bad, and after watching the finished film, a group of executives basically made judgments that the movie did not have too many highlights and the conflict was not fierce enough.

There was an awkward silence for a full minute. Eisner frowned slightly, and directly faced Rainey, who was sitting on his right. Haring said, "Mr. Haring, can you talk about it first?" ”

Michael. Eisner used to affectionately call himself Rainey, but now he has even changed his name, Rainey. Harlem was also very depressed, but Michael. Eisner opened his mouth directly for the roll call, and he was not very good at pretending to be deaf and dumb: "Mr. Eisner, I don't think there is any need to make any changes, this final cut is not bad." ”

Rainey. Haring deliberately bit the words about the 'final cut', just to remind everyone that this version has nothing to do with him, because his shooting concept has not been thoroughly reflected at all.

The people present are all human spirits, how can they not hear Rainey. The meaning of Haney's words, several people showed a sneer that was not very obvious, what is the use of saying this now, if this film that costs $100 million fails, Rainey. Haring, the director, doesn't want to be in Hollywood.

Noticing the expressions of some people, Rainey. Harlem realized this, too, and his face became a little ugly.

The film plus the publicity, Robert. Shay only contributed $50 million, and he was a little glad that he only got 40% of the investment.

However, Robert. Shay didn't want to see his $50 million go down the drain. Moreover, as an outsider, he doesn't have too many scruples, waiting for Rainey. After Harlem finished speaking, Robert. Shay said, "Or, postpone, right?" ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room froze again.

No willingness to speak, Michael. Eisner had to bite the bullet and say: "If it is postponed, when will it be placed, at the end of the year, or next year?" ”

The original release date of "Cut Throat Island" was June 28th, and the summer file has already begun a little half, and it is postponed at this time, and it is impossible to put it in August at the end of the summer file, not to mention, Disney has signed a premiere scale of 2500 theaters with theaters, because of the Gulf War at the beginning of the year, major studios have reduced the scale of production, if "Cut Throat Island" is postponed, Disney can't even get a replacement film, and can only pay high liquidated damages.

Moreover, the postponement of the film will definitely make outsiders doubt the quality of "Cut Throat Island", don't look at the reasons why many film companies change the film schedule are always so high-sounding, but in fact, most insiders know that if a movie that has been completed suddenly changes the schedule, it must be a big problem with the quality of the movie.

Eventually, Michael. Eisner's deputy, Disney President Frank Brown. Wells said: "The risk of a movie delay will be greater, so it's better to release it normally as planned." ”

Michael. Eisner glanced at the executives in the distribution department and said, "In that case, the distribution plan must be changed, Clark, you can talk about it first." ”

According to the plan, after the internal test film, the next step is to arrange a critics' preview screening of "Cut Throat Island" and the audience's screening, as well as the final premiere.

But now everyone has no confidence in the quality of the movie, and in order to prevent one-sided word-of-mouth bad reviews before the movie is released, large-scale test screenings and screenings will definitely not be able to be carried out. (To be continued......)
