"What's so nice about smiling so happily these days?"

In New York's Central Park, the crew has just entered the break, Duke looks at Scarlett Johansson who is smiling and bringing him coffee, and always feels that something is wrong, since they had dinner together that night, she seems to be in a very good mood, especially when she looks at Naomi Watts, she always giggles inexplicably.

"Because you promised to take me to the Super Bowl."

Pulling her blonde hair, the little girl lay on the back of Duke's chair, "When my godmother came over yesterday, she promised to take me into the infield." ”

"You're dishonest, Scarlett." Duke understood that this was all nonsense, and pointed at her, "Lying children have longer noses." ”

"That'...... I'll be honest. ”

With her eyes rolling twice, Scarlett leaned over and muttered into Duke's ear, "Because you've been nice to me lately, you're happy, so I'm happy." ”

"Really?" Duke didn't believe it.

"Hey, you're my brother." The little girl pouted dissatisfiedly, "Of course I'll be happy if you're happy." ”

Although he still didn't believe what the cunning little guy said, Duke nodded, and he treated all the actors the same during filming, whether it was Naomi Watts, who was related, or Scarlett Johansson, who was close to his family, and did not enjoy any special treatment.

"You've got time now, don't you?" Scarlett turned to the front of the chair, grabbed Duke's sleeve, and pulled him up, "There's also a crew filming here, let's go over and take a look." ”

Along the banks of Central Park, Duke was pulled forward by Scarlett Johansson, not too far, he saw the set up cameras and the bustling crowd, in fact, when he just entered the scene today, Duke found that another crew was also filming here, but Central Park has always been a popular location for Hollywood movies, and the two sides are also separated by some distance, and they are not curious to come and visit.

"I also auditioned for this crew last year."

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Scarlett pointed to a fat man behind the camera, "That's the director, because I wasn't old enough, he brushed me off in the first round of auditions." ”

"Is that him?" Duke suddenly became interested in the crew.

"That's him, a Frenchman." Scarlett Johansson confirmed, "He ended up choosing another New York girl!" ”

"Look, it's that girl."

I don't know when, Scarlett jumped on the stone bench next to her, pointed to the little girl who left the crowd and walked under a big tree, and said, "She is scheming, and the fat director also eliminated her because of her age, but she was cheeky to stop the director......"

The little guy grunted and complained, clearly mentally unbalanced about the results of last year's auditions.

"Honey, opportunities always need to be fought for."

After watching the shoot for a while, Duke lost interest, pulled Rascarlett and walked back, "especially in Hollywood." ”

The little guy next to him seems to have enough eyes, but compared to the one behind the rumor, it is not enough to see at all.

"I'm going to fight for the opportunity too." Scarlett trotted up from behind and grabbed Duke's sleeve, "Director Rosenberg, do I still have a chance to star in your movie?" ”

"That depends on my mood."

The filming of "Day" went smoothly as expected, gradually coming to an end, and Duke was in a good mood, and it was rare to make a few jokes, "If you can make me feel happy when I see you, instead of having a headache for your naughty mischief, I will consider it." ”

"Oh, I see." The little guy followed in Duke's footsteps and kept nodding his head, "I will try to play a serious and cute girl in front of you." ”

Play? Duke turned his head to look at the grinning Scarlett, shook his head, and walked towards the crew, in fact, the lively and naughty and smart girls are very cute most of the time.

Back to the place where the crew is, after simply adjusting the camera position, Duke started filming again, there are not many scenes in Central Park, except for the framing, there are a few transition scenes that are not particularly important, and the difficulty of filming is not great, but it is not smooth, after all, this is Central Park, there are tourists from all over the world, and it often brings some unexpected troubles to the crew when watching.

Maintaining order is sometimes a headache, especially for tourists from other places, if you suddenly press the camera, the flash is enough to lead a scene to overturn and start again.

Then there are the reporters, although the reporters tacitly abide by the rules of not disturbing the crew's shooting, Duke is no longer the original obscure director, especially the global box office of "Brave Death Island" slowly crossed the $390 million mark and is hitting $400 million, which is enough to make him the focus of entertainment media.

In order to promote the needs, under the promotion of Warner, Duke will also say a few words to the media in addition to filming, and throw out some fierce materials to win attention.

The promotion of a commercial film will generally reach its peak half a month to a week before the release, but the entire publicity process will never rely solely on a certain media and publicity method, even if it is later mythologized by countless people, the claim plan of the film is a long-term and complex process, any star or big director is just a chess piece in the publicity, the individual will never have a decisive role, and team combat is the eternal theme in the propaganda war.

The main publicity plan for "Day" is the upcoming Super Bowl, and Duke flew back to Los Angeles in addition to filming work, and after fully communicating with the special effects department, he edited a 30-second commercial trailer.

Because of the knock-on effect brought by "Death Island", the trailers of many films this year will appear in the halftime advertising time of the Super Bowl, including "True Lies", "The Lion King" and other names that Duke is very familiar with.

Time into February, Duke returned to New York, the filming of "Day" is nearing the end, this film that began to be prepared in September, the actual time spent on the filming of the actors is not much, and if the actors' performances are placed in front of professionals, they can only be described as miserable, especially the exaggerated and funny style of the actor Will Smith, even if the film is far from being released, Duke can imagine that he will definitely be criticized by critics as worthless.

However, none of this matters, this is a large collection of vulgar elements in the summer file, and almost all the vulgar scenes used in the summer file can be found in "Day".

One by one, the main cast of the crew left, and when the filming entered the final scene, in addition to the staff of various departments, the crew was left with only a dozen stuntmen and a group of extras called in New York, and Duke took these people to Manhattan's Eighth Avenue to shoot the final scene.

"Grace ......"

Standing at the intersection of the temporarily cordoned off Eighth Avenue, Duke gathers all the stuntmen together, "You drive the police car......"

Duke led the men to the center of the intersection, "The police car is parked here, and when you get out of the car, you look at the sky in surprise. ”

"Understood."

The middle-aged stuntman nodded and followed Duke on.

As he walked down the road, Duke pointed to the locations and explained, "Three taxis and two sedans rear-ended!" Pay attention to the force of the collision! ”

After a circle around the prepared stunt car, the group returned to the intersection, Duke pointed to the truck on the left and said, "Martin, pay attention to the signal, and then come out and hit the police car after seeing the signal!" ”

After the other party seriously responded, Duke walked to the place where the recording crew and the film crew were, "John, the old way, install the camera in the car, especially the van. Lana, live recording, I want the most realistic collision sound. ”

Adjusting the camera position, measuring the route of the car, and explaining the precautions of several 'passerby' actors, Duke, as in the past, was not at all relaxed before filming, and was busy for nearly two hours before returning to the director's monitor.

"Duke, it's time to hurry." Sofia Coppola sent the New York City government representative away and reminded him that "New York has two hours to go." ”

This is the most crowded Manhattan in the world, and Duke naturally knows that the relevant government departments can't give him too much time, and after asking various departments, the shooting kicked off.

A police car came quickly, seemed to see something incredible, suddenly braked, the officer jumped out of the car, looked at the sky in amazement, unconsciously walked forward, a taxi behind did not have time to brake, crashed into the police car, and then more cars crashed together, a series of rear-end accidents inevitably occurred.

Just as the officer stepped out of the range of the police car, a truck rushed out of the intersection sideways and knocked the police car away, but the officer didn't look at his car, still looking at the sky in amazement......

Duke didn't stop shouting, he looked at the monitors seriously, the collision, the confusion, and the panic, all of which were playing out according to the expected plan, and the cameras scattered everywhere, catching the reaction of passers-by and actors when they saw the alien spaceship.

“cut！”

Finally, Duke shouted to stop, and the cluttered Eighth Avenue instantly returned to quiet, and although there was still a shutdown after the Super Bowl weekend, the crew could be said to have completed its mission.

There is no shouting excitement, no intimate hugs, and just faint routine applause, every crew in Hollywood always hides countless contradictions, and "Day" is no exception, but with the disbandment of the crew, many of the contradictions suppressed by Duke have also become clouds of the past.

At the urging of the city representative, the crew hurriedly sorted out the equipment and venues, and Duke personally sent the film into a bank vault before returning to the hotel where he was staying, ready to take a temporary vacation and fly to Atlanta for the annual North American carnival - the Super Bowl.

And, of course, the Super Bowl's halftime underwear catwalk.
