The off-road vehicle bumped all the way, carrying Ryan to the station, which is a very ordinary small town in Ireland, which has become lively and busy because of the Spielberg crew.

Especially not too far from the town, there is an abandoned air force base, and the artists of the crew are leading the construction team to carry out infrastructure construction and destruction, hoping to build a devastated and ruined French battlefield.

"Hi, Toby."

As soon as he got out of the car, Ryan saw Spielberg's assistant and asked, "What about Steven?" ”

"Oh God, Ryan, you're finally here." Toby? Hoskin led Ryan forward, "Mr. Spielberg is in front. ”

Although the film is still some time away, the whole team has already started to get busy, Ryan walked all the way, almost no idlers, and when he came to a group of tents that resembled a military camp, Spielberg was holding a satellite phone, walking around, talking hoarsely.

No need to ask, Ryan also knows that the old Jewish man must be remote controlling the post-production of "Jurassic Park 2", and if there is no accident, Spielberg will still not have spare time while filming "Saving Private Ryan".

Perhaps it is the change brought by Ryan, "Saving Private Ryan", which should have started filming a long time ago, has not started filming yet.

"Congratulations, Ryan!"

Spielberg put away the satellite phone and the first thing he did was to send congratulations, "I didn't expect the box office record of "Jurassic Park" to be rewritten so quickly. ”

"It's just luck." Ryan is rarely humble.

"Is it really luck?" Tom? Hanks suddenly walked out of the barracks, "I believe. You'll be the next one to break that record, Ryan. ”

"Oh, God!" Ryan looked surprised, "Tommy, ...... you"

Tom? Hanks was almost a different person, wearing dirty army-green clothes, and the beard on his face had not been shaved for an unknown amount of time, with sunken cheeks, like a refugee who had just escaped from Africa.

"We are conducting military training." Tom? Hanks spread his hands helplessly, "Trust me." Ryan. You'll be like this in a week. ”

"That's right!" Spielberg glanced Ryan up and down a few times, and said very seriously, "Ryan, before the movie starts shooting." You must lose at least five pounds. ”

"Okay!" Ryan would naturally cooperate. "No problem."

Fortunately, his body shape looks a little thin from the outside. Otherwise, losing weight will definitely be a big hassle.

"Ryan, welcome to the crew." Spielberg laughed.

"Ryan, welcome to Hell." Tom? Hanks rejoiced in the addition of a suffering compatriot.

Originally. Spielberg wanted to set the location in the United Kingdom, but the British Ministry of Defense refused to provide the crew with military and other help, so he had to choose Ireland, because the Irish military promised to send more than 1,000 soldiers to assist in the filming, most of whom also participated in films such as "Braveheart".

In addition, it is the military training of the actors.

"Essentially, you're not an actor now, you have to think like a soldier, although it's difficult to really be such a person!"

Ryan, Tom? Hanks, Giovanni? Rebis and the others stood in a line, listening to the former Marine Corps Captain Dale? Day's routine reprimand.

On his second day on the set, Ryan, like the rest of the cast, began basic military training, even if his chosen role didn't have much to offer.

Ryan and the others needed to quickly integrate into the film's environment, and in order to get into the role as soon as possible, they even learned how to use weapons, individual tactics, and the code language and sign language of the army during World War II.

Frankly speaking, these are not too difficult for Ryan, and the actual training life is the real test.

Sleeping in the open during training is the norm, just like a real army, Ryan and the others have to carry 40 pounds of equipment every day, march three miles in a hurry, not only do they have no beds when they sleep, but they can only live in tents, and the rest time every day is strictly controlled within five hours, which is still a preferential treatment.

Although it is a little bitter and tiring, Ryan and other younger people are okay to say, after all, they can stick to it by gritting their teeth, but for Tom? For Hanks, it was like hell, and every hurried march was a test.

However, team spirit always comes into play at this time.

"If a teammate is in trouble, then you have to stop and help him!"

Whenever this happens, the former Marine Corps captain always says a big truth, "The army is not a movie, there is no room for individual heroism here, and team spirit is the fundamental guarantee of victory!" ”

After a rapid march, the meal can often be served, and for these actors who are used to enjoying it, the food can only be said to be miserable.

"Beans, canned beef, canned peanut butter, canned tomatoes......"

Sitting in the open space in front of the tent, Ryan looked at the few things he had and gestured to a few of his teammates, "Hey, guys, what do you want to eat?" ”

"I don't care what they want to eat."

Ryan's shaper flashed like a ghost, reminding, "Don't forget, Ryan, you're going to lose five pounds, and you can't ...... any meat."

"Oh God!" Ryan covered his face, the canned food was already unpalatable enough, even the beef had to be banned, it was really worse than death, "Can I only eat canned beans and tomatoes?" ”

"Stop complaining, Ryan." Tom? Hanks unceremoniously snatched the canned beef from Ryan's hand, "We envy your whole protein and vitamin nutrition package." ”

After the meal, just a few minutes of rest, it was time for routine weapons training.

Although live ammunition is not required, the aiming and other poses must at least be presentable, and although the crew uses some old antiques, Ryan is quite interested.

These were real guns, and the props team found more than 700 M1 Garand and Chicago typewriters, as well as a number of M1901 pistols.

Spielberg's team convened, needless to say, professional ability, because they couldn't find a real Tiger tank, these guys bought two T34 tanks from Russia and forcibly modified their appearance into the appearance of Tiger tanks.

Such a war epic must be a big investment and a big production, DreamWorks not only found Jenkins Pictures to co-produce zuò, but also accepted the investment of Paramount Pictures, and the three parties roughly took out about one-third of the funds.

At the end of August, Ryan deliberately asked for a leave of absence from the USC Film School, and when the military training came to an end, a man named Fan? Diesel's people, who somehow got through Spielberg's relationship, joined Ryan's group.

Even, Spielberg asked screenwriter Robert? Rodart, deliberately added a character to him.

This situation is not uncommon, and in Hollywood, connections are always more popular than pure newcomers, but the appearance of this guy has stimulated the gossip enthusiasm of the crew.

"Ryan, this guy can't be Stephen's illegitimate son, right?" Tom? Hanks, of course, was joking, and with his relationship with Spielberg, he often made fun of old Jewish men.

"Unlikely." Ryan tapped the can of beans with a spoon, and put on a serious thinking look very cooperatively, and then said after a while, "This guy looks like a mulatto, and Stephen's taste doesn't seem to be so heavy, right?" ”

"That's not sure, Stephen ...... "Just a few minutes, Tom?" Hanks broke out some ridiculous things about Spielberg's youth, which are super gossip that rarely circulates outside the circle.

Ryan's military training lasted a full ten days, and he managed to lose five pounds, and his whole person looked much thinner.

"Hey, Nicole, how long has it been since you saw you, you can't recognize it?"

Walking out of the temporary 'barracks', Ryan saw Nicole who came to visit the class? Kidman, the distress in the eyes of the Australian girl, flashed away.

"Why did the movie become like this before it even started?"

There were people coming and going, and Nicole couldn't do anything about it, but the hand that grabbed Ryan's arm was extra hard.

"When making war movies, you always have to look like some soldiers, and you always have to suffer a little." Ryan didn't care, whispered a few words of comfort, and asked, "Are you done with the reshoot?" ”

"Hmm~ It ended a few days ago, and there weren't many of them." Nicole turned her head to look around, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Where's your room?" ”

"Uh......" Ryan scratched his face, where did he have a room, he had been living in a group tent lately, "that ......"

"Ryan!"

Suddenly Tom? Hanks's voice came from behind, and then the others caught up, "Oh, Nicole, so you're here, just right, hurry up!" Something is wrong! ”

Something is wrong? What's the big deal? Can you make Tom? Hanks in such a hurry? Could it be that Spielberg had an accident?

Many unreliable thoughts instantly turned in Ryan's head, and he took Nicole's hand and followed Tom? Behind Hanks, he walked towards a makeshift office for the show.

Tom? Hanks was so fast that he almost ran, obviously in a hurry.

"What the hell is going on, Tommy?" Nicole stepped on high heels, couldn't improve her speed, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Her Royal Highness? Ryan woke up instantly, and although he didn't remember the exact time of the Welsh Princess's accident, he roughly remembered that it was the end of August.

Could it be that something from a past life really happened? Will Diana get away with it?

In Ryan's cranky thoughts, he and Nicole followed Tom? Hanks walked into the office and saw several people, including Spielberg, standing in front of the television with a BBC 1 news program...... (To be continued......)
