Long after the filming of Schindler's List ended, Stephen? Spielberg made up his mind to create his own film company, and soon found a partner. Geffen and Jaredford? Katzenberg co-founded DreamWorks with ambitions to make it a new Hollywood highlight.

DreamWorks is very different from Jenkins Films, the latter started as a split-account cooperation, and the future development is still a split-account cooperation, Ryan has no idea of breaking the monopoly of the seven major film companies, and the former has been rushing for the position of Hollywood giants since the day it was founded.

More than a year after its establishment, DreamWorks was in no hurry to start its own production plan, and the Big Three were all the best of the best and understood the importance of laying a solid foundation.

Just in the second half of '95, Stephen? Spielberg received a package from Australia, signed by Ryan? Jenkins, the super genius who disappeared from public view for a long time.

The contents of the package are not complicated, a book, a script, a stack of setting sketches.

After watching it, Spielberg thought about it for a while, and then ran aground on "Broken Lock Fury", which had not yet begun preparation, and changed the first DreamWorks film to "Cat and Mouse Game".

DreamWorks needs a hugely successful groundbreak, whether it's that one-time bestseller or Ryan? Jenkins's scripts were so to his liking, and the advice was so pertinent that despite the split account with Jenkins Films, Spielberg chose the film and contacted Tom? After Hanks, the busy pre-preparations began.

"Ryan, I noticed this book a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to start earlier." Spielberg looked at the young man in front of him, he was much taller than himself, and the ignorant teenager he had met when he first met had grown up, "Tell me the truth, Ryan. Have you planned this role for a long time? ”

"Stephen, you're still so wise." Ryan quipped him with a compliment, "So to speak. ”

This is the old Ontario airport in California, which has been transformed into Miami International Airport from the outside, and the crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" will officially start filming here.

"Excuse me, did I miss something?"

Outside the lounge, a thick voice sounded, Tom? Hanks walked in, "Hi. Ryan, it's been a long time. ”

"Tommy, you've gained weight very successfully." Ryan gave him a gentle hug.

Tom? Hanks's appearance has changed greatly, and he is much fatter than Forrest Gump's, if it weren't for that iconic bun face, he could be regarded as a middle-aged uncle who made a fortune.

"I remember someone saying that when you fall behind in IQ, it's better to overtake him in weight." After the three of them said hello, Tom Hanks sat down. "If you want to capture a genius, you must pay some price."

The three laughed at the same time, and they will form the core lineup of the film.

"Ryan, I've always owed you a word of thanks. Forrest Gump ...... not recommended by you, "Tom?" Hanks said very solemnly, "There is no second Best Actor Golden Man for my second prize." ”

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

The 95 Oscars were just like ever, and his "Forrest Gump" swept the awards ceremony. "The Shawshank Redemption" is a tragedy again, Tom? Hanks won the second Best Actor.

Of course, if there are no surprises or groundbreaking performances. Oscar for Best Actor and Tom? Hanks insulated.

"All right, gentlemen, it's time for you to put on your makeup." Spielberg looked at the time and urged.

Changing into a crisp Pan Am pilot's uniform, Ryan stepped out of the old airport he had rented for a while, and could vaguely see the periphery of the filming location, where a number of reporters had gathered, and occasionally flashing lights on.

Vintage cars from the 60s fill the wide road in front of the airport, the extras and road signs in the background have been replaced with period-appropriate attire, and a sprinkler truck slowly drives by, drenching the ground in a wet patch.

"Ryan, a lot of people will envy you."

Director of Photography Jaminz? Kaminski, who was an important member of Spielberg's team, came over and joked Ryan at this point.

"Actually, I envy Frank more? Mr. Abagonel. ”

Looking at the group of fashionable beauties dressed as flight attendants, Ryan could only shake his head, and the first shot of the camera was the scene where he escaped from Miami International Airport under the cover of a group of fake flight attendants.

This group of girls is also a very professional actor, and after a few scenes with Ryan, and after two simple test shoots, the official filming of "Cat and Mouse Game" kicked off.

"Act 1 of the seventy-seventh scene, start now!"

With the shouts of Spielberg's assistants, the scene fell silent for an instant.

A red and white luxury RV stopped in front of the airport hall, and several flight attendants in blue uniforms rushed out, Ryan wore a crisp pilot uniform, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and held two tall blonde girls into the hall in a dashing manner.

Entering the hall, he pushed the two sexiest and beautiful fake flight attendants to the front without a trace, to attract attention, and he quietly fell behind, even in the midst of a crisis, his face was still full of confidence.

The FBI agents passing by, the police guarding the main roads of the airport, and the plainclothes shuttling back and forth, it seems that even the souls have been snatched away by the young and beautiful girls, without realizing that the felons they are looking for are mixed in with these flight attendants.

"Cut, it's over."

Although this is a group shot, it is not very difficult, and behind the main camera, Spielberg's voice is soon heard.

"You look pretty good, Ryan."

Tom? Hanks had already changed into an agent suit, wiping his glasses in his hands, and joked, "Now it's time for us to play cat and mouse." ”

"Oh my God, I'm going to face a two-time winner of Orcas Best Actor......" Ryan deliberately used an exaggerated tone, "I hope that when the movie is released, the audience won't think of me as a crappy hairy boy." ”

"Then it's up to you to perform." Spielberg suddenly spoke, "Ryan, I still remember your performance when you were filming Schindler's List, it was so amazing. ”

"Actually, we're all waiting to see you two show...... "Jaminz? Kaminsky shouted from not far away, causing many people to start heckling.

The crew quickly moved to the airport's aisle, and after the departments were ready, Spielberg made a gesture.

"Act I begins at the eighty-fifth scene!"

In the empty passageway, Frank, played by Ryan, wears a uniform and carries a suitcase, striding towards the long-awaited freedom, but his face lacks the confidence he used to have, and with a slightly uneasy expression, he puts his hand in his trouser pocket.

"How did you do that?"

The familiar voice of the FBI agent came from behind him, and he could only turn around awkwardly, although Agent Carl was asking, there was no doubt on his face, "Frank, how did you pass the Louisiana Bar exam?" ”

"What are you doing here?" The voice was unusually weak, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. ”

"If you go back to Europe, you will definitely die in prison!" Agent Carr's words were more of advice, like an elder teaching a junior, "Frank, if you want to escape from the United States, we'll send you to a prison in Atlanta for 50 years!" ”

"I know it."

Frank made up his mind, his desire for freedom overriding everything, and walked forward without looking back, Agent Carl behind him still talking, his words clearly shaking Frank's resolve.

"Why are you going to help me?" Frank didn't look back.

"You're just a kid." Agent Karl's words go straight to Frank's heart.

"I'm not your child."

He was visibly angry that Agent Carl had lied to him, and it was a terrible feeling that no one could be trusted, but Carl did help him, and Frank finally stopped, looking at his boarding pass in his hand and hesitating.

“cut！” Spielberg shouted, "Ryan, the front is very good, but the hesitation and hesitation here should be a little more aggravated, and I hope that between Frank and Carl, there is a strange father-son relationship, and then the attitude is better to be gentle, and then we will see how it works." ”

Filming has never been smooth sailing, the director's inspiration on the spot, the actor's sudden temporary play, may change the original shooting plan, and now it has just begun, and it is not only the actors who need to find the state, but also the director Spielberg.

Ryan and Tom in the movie? Hanks' rivalry is undoubtedly the biggest attraction, and Spielberg needs to find a rhythm for the two.

This scene was filmed seven times in a row, and sometimes it was Ryan who needed to be adjusted, and sometimes it was Tom who needed to be adjusted? Hanks, when Spielberg shouted 'greatest', the whole shooting scene erupted in warm applause, and the two men's drama was definitely worthy of their applause.

Although this is an old airport, it is impossible for the crew to rent it for too long, and after Ryan and Hanks found a tacit understanding, Spielberg immediately accelerated the filming, and the fast-paced shooting also mobilized the work motivation of the entire crew, which greatly improved efficiency.

"Ryan? Jenkins' new film starts filming, and Tom? Hanks live ......"

The crew soon released all kinds of news, and news about the film began to flood the entertainment pages of the tabloids.

"After two years of silence, Ryan? Jenkins finally stood back on his stage, a genius in the nineties playing a genius in the sixties, which is a collision across time and space......"

"In the two-time Oscar winner Tom? In front of Hanks, what kind of performance Ryan will have when he grows up is worth looking forward to. ”

Hype and publicity will always be an indispensable means for a movie with a big investment. (To be continued......)
