Feel two arrow-like gazes coming at you, even if it's sluggish, Leonardo? DiCaprio also understood that he was in trouble, and couldn't help glaring at the person next to him viciously, sneering not because of the scene on the set, but when he whispered to his companion, the companion mentioned the experience of going to the bar to pick up girls a few days ago, and he remembered the other party's clumsy expression.

"Isn't it funny, Mr. DiCaprio?"

Hearing these words without any emotion, the people around him automatically moved away from Leonardo? DiCaprio, Duke looked at the handsome face coldly, walked over slowly, and changed to a questioning tone, "Is the Normandy landing so funny?" Is it funny that the Allies were slaughtered by Nazi Germany? ”

And not just Leonardo? DiCaprio, Duke's eyes swept over the other actors around him, everyone was smart and silent, they didn't have any capital to confront the director, and the only actor in the entire crew who could really talk to the director on an equal footing was Tom? Hanks that's it.

"I'm sorry, Duke......" Leonardo, although young and vigorous, was not a fool, and quickly stood up and said, "I'm very sorry, Director Rosenberg." ”

Duke nodded, "If there's a next time, Leo ......"

"I promise!" Leonardo swears by the curse.

When Duke turned his head and returned to where he had come, Leonardo and the people around him breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Leonardo, in particular, the young director who was not a few years older than him, brought him a lot of pressure, a pressure that he had never felt before in filmmaking.

But it's not surprising to think about. Even the most famous director he has ever worked with, Lesser? Holstum, whose status in Hollywood is also far from being comparable to that of Duke? Rosenbergby.

After solving the minor troubles caused by Leonardo, the shooting is back on track. After completing the previous one, Duke exchanged views with amphibious warfare experts on the Pentagonal side, and then gathered the crew to prepare for the filming of the biggest scenes. Schwarzman staring at Tom? In addition to Hanks, Duke also spilled out all the assistant directors and camera assistants, leaving them to hide in the hidden camera positions that had been prepared in advance. Capture the details of the battlefield.

The soldier who blew up his broken arm and carried the broken arm to find a doctor wailed to the wounded in his intestines. The GI who had just escaped the deadly killing machine was shot and killed......

The sound of gunfire, howls and explosions form a symphony of death on the beach.

With such a large range of personnel interspersed with running, it is naturally impossible for the pyrotechnic team to use military explosives, Jos? William has been improved by many trials. He also won over Duke's Jianyì, and put dust in the paper shell wrapped in soft explosives, and when detonated, although very small, it looked amazing.

The sun slowly sets below the sea level, and the day's filming finally comes to an end, and the ravaged shapeless beach gradually regains its quietness, because it is far from the city, except for those who have finished the scene and left. Most of them live in a nearby town or on a trailer driven by the crew.

The town, called Setien, has only a few thousand people, and the town's two hotels and several restaurants have been set up since the day Omaha Beach began. It's all 'closed', and only entertains people related to "Saving Private Ryan".

Waiting for John? Schwartzman made two copies of the footage taken during the day in the work trailer and handed them over to the two security directors for safekeeping, and Duke and other core members of the crew returned to the town and walked into the quietest restaurant.

Like all Hollywood crews. The crew of "Saving Private Ryan" seems to be all equal, but invisible differences are everywhere. For example, the people who come to this restaurant to dine are generally only the core members of the crew and a few main actors, except for Duke, who will discuss work during the meal, and most of the others go their own way.

Like Tom? Hanks, although he is a well-known good guy in Hollywood, will not lower himself and stay with other actors or staff members who are not at the same level, and as for mingling with other people, it is even more nonsense, not to mention that it is related to the style of superstars, even if he is willing to do so, who knows if some of them will turn around and sell some secret private affairs to the media?

If nothing else, let's just say that Spielberg's crew used to be, who would think Tom? Can Hanks fight Van ? Diesel mingling?

No kidding, in this extremely competitive circle, making friends is a very cautious thing, in fact, there is often no real friendship between actors and actors, and star actors would rather believe in celebrity friends who accompany them to eat and drink, rather than other actors in the circle.

In Hollywood, there is a special kind of existence, they haunt the big stars, they are trusted by them, they can eat, drink and have fun with the stars unscrupulously, and even engage with women or men together, these people can get a lot of benefits from the stars, and even rely on the stars to survive, and they are extremely strict-mouthed, they are the friends of the stars.

The special environment of Hollywood has created an unusual status and life for star actors, and they can't make friends like normal people, so the relationship between friends and stars constitutes a strange friendship that is difficult to understand outside the circle.

Like Charlize in the past? Theron, she has a lot of friends, and her luxurious and expensive wardrobe has always been open to friends, and she even gave her wardrobe the nickname "Narnia", which means the wardrobe that keeps giving, so she has also become the 'best friend' in the eyes of many people.

In short, Hollywood stars are completely impossible to measure by the standards of normal people.

"Time was limited, so we couldn't afford to shoot too long."

Several people sat at the same table for dinner, and the topic never left the work, and Duke was not happy with the progress, "It's the run-in phase, you can continue at this pace, and from next week, I have to pick up the pace." ”

"It's Christmas soon." Robin? Grande reminded that "there should also be at least three days of Christmas holidays. ”

It's okay to work overtime in normal times, Christmas is one of the most important holidays in the West, and even Duke can't force the crew to work overtime.

But that's not all, Charles? Rowan put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "I got Tom?" Hanks' agent called, the awards season had begun, and he asked the crew to coordinate Tom's schedule, and Tom was going to return to Los Angeles frequently for the awards season's PR activities. ”

"Hmmm......"

Nodding, Duke signaled that he knew, this is something that cannot be avoided, and the PR of the Academy Awards in this era is relatively restrained compared to the future, Tom? Hanks doesn't have to stay in Los Angeles for a long time, if you push back a few years, even if he has a character like Forrest Gump as capital, he doesn't start public relations operations a few months before the awards season starts, and he stays in Los Angeles for a long time to build momentum, it is very difficult to get Best Actor.

Many actors and directors, in addition to the movie itself, often spend more than half a year or even a whole year of time and energy for the sake of that little golden man.

That's one of the reasons Duke's relative indifference to academic awards, and he doesn't have much time to waste.

After dinner, the group left the restaurant and walked towards the nearby hotel at the speed of a walk, which was also a rare leisure and relaxation after a busy day.

Duke walked at the back, Sophia? Coppola also slowed down, as if he had something to talk about.

"I've been contacted by a couple of PR agencies." She walked side by side with Duke, "and they're willing to send the best PR manager to be your PR manager." There are also several independent PR people who are also interested in acting as your PR. ”

"There's no rush to this." Duke put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the checkered bricks on the sidewalk, "What about the personal assistant?" Is there a suitable candidate? ”

"Not yet." Sophia couldn't help but complain, "I've been in Ireland with the crew since October last year, where can I find time to help you recruit assistants?" ”

She rolled her eyes, "Why don't you let Nancy do this!" ”

"Because I trust you more." Duke said lightly.

Sophia opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, she knew that Duke was very wary at times, especially to those in the circle, he was one of his few friends.

As a film family, she knows the true face of this circle, and she also knows that being wary is definitely not a bad thing, otherwise she may still be helping to count dollars if she is sold.

The matter of assistant and public relations can only wait for the end of the filming and return to Los Angeles, for Duke, the completion of the landing battle shooting with quality and quantity is the first priority.

"Tom, you are now the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces on the beach."

Standing in front of the barbed wire, Duke was fighting for Tom? Hanks said, "I want you to show your determined side and lead your brothers forward, not only because of the military mission and the need to complete the mission, but also because of this to fight for a chance to live." ”

Finish telling Tom? Hanks, Duke looked at the other actors and admonished, "Obey Tom's command, even if he tells you to jump into the sea, you must do it." ”

An explosion scene was about to be completed within a stone's throw of the actors, and they were inevitably a little nervous, and Duke's rare joke was also timely to alleviate this feeling, and many people laughed.

See Jos with explosives across a sand bank? William and the others, Duke finally said, "Stay safe! I don't want to see anyone get hurt! ”

Although soft explosives are used, the sand will not be pleasant if it hits the face directly.

After inspecting the camera and visor setup himself, and trying out the live recording equipment, Duke returned to his director's chair and quietly waited for the pyrotechnics crew to finish their work before filming the blast scene.

Waited about half an hour, Jos? William personally came over to inform him, and he was ready. (To be continued)
