Chapter 117: Schedule [First Update]
Many people may not be familiar with Francis. Ford. Coppola, he's not like James. Cameron or the Wachowski brothers are easily remembered for their surnames, even though he directed the world's greatest gangster film series, The Godfather trilogy; also filmed the classic Hollywood vampire story "400 Years of Horror"; But when the older generation of filmmakers mention Coppola's name, they almost always use one word, and that is "themadman", a madman, a complete movie maniac!
The war film "Apocalypse Now", released in 1979, is Francis. Ford. Coppola's crazy masterpiece, in the filming of this film, in order to pursue the ultimate lens effect, a total of four helicopters were damaged, and at least four pilots died, this data has not been surpassed so far.
"The first step in starring in his movies is to buy insurance, and the second step is to pray to God, maybe you can become famous, provided you learn to survive first!"
Malone. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brando humorously joked about Francis.
"Survive? That's right, it's a miracle that this old guy survived to this day! โ
Xiansen threw the "Hollywood Reporter" in his hand on the desk, and he agreed with Ma Long. What Brando said at the beginning, because Francis. Ford. Coppola, not only will harm the lives of others, but even his own body will not be cherished at all!
This is an old drunkard, an old smoker, an old pervert, and at the same time likes to eat junk food with high cholesterol, he is short-tempered, impulsive, and easily angry. It can be said that all the manifestations of a bad man are reflected in him!
Although the old guy's mind had left Xiansen's body at this time, because the two minds had been in the same body for too long, Xiansen knew very well that he had also been very seriously affected, and he would always involuntarily do some behaviors and actions that were not assigned by his consciousness, such as smoking a cigar. It's like a physiological need in behavior, and it's an abnormal physiological need.
"This damn old man, Satan will not let him go!"
Xiansen cursed viciously in his heart, reached out and took out the cigar box in his pocket, forcibly endured the inexplicable reluctance in his heart, and threw it into the trash.
"I'll get over it all, definitely!"
Taking a firm breath, Xiansen took out two scripts from the drawer, one was the detailed schedule of the latest episode of "Atlantic Empire", and the other was the script and shooting plan of the movie "Impunity", the only thing in common between the two scripts was that on the first page, the filming date was written: May 29, 2002
"Tomorrow, these two works will be launched at the same time, tsk, it's really a terrible thing!"
Since the announcement of the shooting plan, more than ten days have passed, during this time, Xiansen has made the following arrangements, first of all, the set, in order to meet the shooting needs of the two works at the same time, the filming site of the movie "Impunity" was arranged next to "Atlantic Empire", which makes it more convenient for some staff to carry equipment and instruments. At the same time, in the selection of actors, since "Get Away with Justice" is invested by DreamWorks and the producer is Spielberg, everything will be based on Spielberg's wishes in the selection of actors, of course, the director's opinion is also one of the important references.
Fortunately, in the choice of actors, the opinions of the two people did not deviate too much. DiCaprio and, of course, Tom. Hanks, these two are the big names among the big names, and the latter is an Oscar-like existence, it can be said that if it weren't for Spielberg, Xiansen himself would not have been sure to invite Tom. Hanks.
"Bella!"
Looking at the schedule in his hand, maybe he suddenly thought of something, Xiansen shouted loudly, while he was working, Bella. Marceau usually consciously stays outside the office so as not to disturb Xiansen's thinking.
"Any commands?"
After hearing the director's shout, Bella. Marceau walked in from outside the door, stepping on high heels, still looking quite temperamental.
"Bella, call Tom for me, I have something to tell him!"
The first Sen's mouth is talking about Tom. Hanks, in a crew, the director is always the most authoritative, even if he is the best actor at the two-time Oscars, he must obey his assignment after joining the crew.
"Oh, by the way, let Leo come over too."
Maybe he thought of something, and when Bella turned to walk out, Xiansen added.
About ten minutes later, Tom. Hanks follows Bella. Marceau walked in behind him, and when he saw Xiansen, a smile appeared on his face, in fact, before this, he had communicated with the director many times, and the two of them were very harmonious in terms of point of view, so Tom. Hanks also had a pretty good impression of Xiansen.
"Hey! Director, meet for the first time today! โ
Tom. Hanks smiled and said hello, then walked up to Xiansen and shook his hand amicably.
"Bella, go get a chair, thank you!"
Sen towards Tom. Hanks nodded, took out a piece of A4 white paper from the drawer, and then took out a ballpoint pen and said while writing: "Tom, to make a long story short, you look at this form, this is your schedule for next month, you look at these days, it seems to be a bit of a conflict with "My Greek Wedding", you know, it takes at least four or five hours to get back to Brooklyn from Hollywood, and the filming time of "Get Away" is mostly scheduled in the morning, so, these days, you may not be able to catch up with the shooting time." โ
Saying that, Xiansen put down the ballpoint pen, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a serious expression: "You are the producer of "My Greek Wedding", I know you value this movie very much, but, the work of production, to be honest, does not need to be on the set every day, so, I hope you can put more energy into "Impunity", that is"
Xiansen stopped in the middle of speaking, raised his head, and looked at Tom sincerely. Hanks' eyes.
"That means I'm not going back to the crew of "My Greek Wedding" and staying in Brooklyn for the next few days?"
Tom. Hanks filled in the rest of the words for Xiansen.
"That's right, that's what I meant."
Xiansen nodded, due to the impact of the double shooting, the filming time of "Impunity" was put in the morning, and this also caused many actors' plans to be disrupted, for this reason, Xiansen specially made a schedule for these actors, of course, I still have to notify these actors.
"Ok, director, so be it!"
Tom. Hanks readily agreed, and the producer's work was not very busy after the film started, so he was too lazy to run back and forth.
โthankyou!โ (To be continued.) )
