Chapter 300: A New Beginning
βCutοΌβ James Cameron held up the microphone and shouted, "Good! β
"That's all for today, everyone pack up their things and get off work!"
The words, like the bell of school, provoked a burst of cheers, and Roland, who was relaxed, let go of the hands holding Reese Witherspoon, smiled and slapped her hands, "Happy cooperation, Reese, you know, I don't want to NG." β
βOhοΌ Me too. Witherspoon took off his dark green trench coat and fanned himself with his stand-up collar, and at the same time, he also quipped: "I think, now the girls in the circle are very conflicted, they want to film with you, but they don't dare to film with you......"
"Really?" Roland was happy, took off the knitted sweater on his body, and walked towards the rest area with the other party, "It seems that they have a very accurate eye for people, and they know that I am a bad guy...... Do you also have a deep understanding? β
"Hey! You know I didn't mean that. Reese laughed and rolled her eyes, grimacing at Roland.
Just when she wanted to say something, the two had already walked into the shuttle bus range, and Kate, who was dressed casually, took the clothes from Roland's hand, threw them to the assistant, and handed him the towel at the same time, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" β
"We're talking about James's brain."
Roland took over the conversation and said casually: "We think he has a problem with his brain, obviously the filming schedule is eight months, and he will experience a complete winter, but he has to shoot winter scenes in the summer, which is simply a kind of torture!" β
"We're all dying of heat......"
"Wow, if you let James hear that, he'll take off his shoes and whip you again."
Kate pursed her lips and smiled, leaning in and sniffing as she spoke, and when her curious face suddenly changed and her frowning brows showed disgust, she agreed and blurted out, "Okay, you're right, this is revenge......"
"Go take a shower, the weird smell on your body is about to smoke me to death!"
As she spoke, she slapped Roland on the buttocks as she usually urged him to take a shower.
Although Kate was eaten to death in public, Roland was not dissatisfied, but deliberately probed and pecked at the other party's neck, and then when Kate wanted to raise her hand to hit herself, she ran wildly with a smile and rushed into the dressing room.
"Childish ......" Kate pouted, but the smile on her face did not fade.
The next second, he turned his head to look at Witherspoon and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, he ran away before you finished talking......"
"Ahh It's okay, I'm hot enough to choke ......."
Witherspoon shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't care, "Then I'll go back to the dressing room too, bye~"
"Bye~"
Dragonfly-like communication is the daily life of the crew, and the scenes that touch and separate are no longer strange to everyone.
On August 8, the day after the embassy bombing, "Spider-Man 2 and 3" officially started, although it was a back-to-back continuous shooting, but considering that "2" will be released next Christmas, as well as the schedule of each actor, it is obviously unrealistic to want to finish the overlapping scenes of the two movies at one time, so in addition to the overlapping period of the tail and the beginning can be stacked and filmed, the crew actually proceeds according to the rhythm of filming "2" first and then "3".
Since it is a flat push, it is the safest way to follow the narrative process.
As a result, the love line between the second and first parts, which is four years apart, is the primary content of filming.
The truck driver wants to use a continuous montage to explain Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker's love experience for the past four years, in the process, intimate action is unavoidable, and Kate is accompanied by the group, so ......
Seeing that the mother of the main palace followed inseparously, those demons and monsters who tried to do things were also gone.
Of course, this is a good thing for Roland.
As a guy who likes to strangle threats in the cradle, he greatly appreciates Kate's straightforwardness.
Feelings are such a fragile thing, only those with bad brains will emphasize the test.
After it is produced, it can be cared for, and it can only be hurt in the end.
"Yo, you're all back? I thought you'd talk for a while......"
Since the environmental conditions were not good, Roland just took a quick shower.
By the time he came out, Kate was already sitting in front of her iMac looking at a web page.
The iMac is Apple's new all-in-one computer launched on August 15 this year, although it was not officially sold, but Steve Jobs had the test machine sent over after the press conference.
No way, who makes a shareholder like Roland rare in the world?
"Oh! Are you interested in her? Seeing Roland sitting on the table, Kate moved the keyboard to the side, supported her chin with one hand, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you only interested in Kate?" Well? β
When she said 'um', Kate immediately made a transliteration through her nose and narrowed her right eye.
Although she didn't hint at the volume increase when she talked about 'Kate', the gaze cast at Roland was full of a playful smile, which also made Roland not answer directly, because-
There's also a Kate on the crew.
On that day, when Roland found out that the girls running for Mary-Jane were all related households, he decisively threw the blame on the truck driver.
And under the careful selection of the other party, Kate Mara, who was pushed by Harrison Ford and Sidney, became the heroine.
So, if Roland answered directly, then he would blow up, "No, I'm only interested in you." β
"Goose Goose Goose ......"
Kate raised her hand and patted Roland's thigh and said happily, "Congratulations on your correct answer." β
"But there is no reward."
"It's all done, right? Let's go, then......"
With a flick of the mouse, I turned off my iMac, picked up the PowerBook on the table and stuffed it into my handbag.
Roland jumped off the table, threw the towel around his neck on the sofa at will, kicked his legs lightly, the slippers flew away, the forefoot reached into the sneaker, and then kicked it up twice, and the heel was also satisfied.
This behavior made Kate shake her head with a smile, handed the handbag containing the PowerBook to Roland, and then took his arm and walked out of the dressing room.
Because it was filming in New York, the working hours of the crew were arranged in strict accordance with the law.
In addition, after "Titanic", the truck drivers who recorded a double harvest of awards are Buddhist, and Roland, who stopped filming after filming, has no schedule conflict, so they don't want to work overtime, and their work and rest time is more regular than those white-collar workers who work from 9 to 5.
As for the producer's thoughts?
What can Sony think?
Roland blatantly sold Yahoo's shares to private equity funds on the one hand, and went to Berkshire Hathaway's shareholder meeting on the other hand, this kind of announcement Sony is a fool if it still can't understand it!
Roland, who is not bad for money, is not willing to work overtime......
Then don't work overtime.
After saying hello to the truck driver, the two drove off the set, and on the way back to the hotel, Kate and Roland chatted about the outside world, "Steve called over while you were filming to find out if we were interested in ATi. β
"If we really want to buy, he hopes that we can reach an agreement with ATi as soon as possible."
Now that Kate is with the group, Roland will not hand over his communication tools to his assistant for safekeeping during filming as before, after all, in this country where cooperation agreements can be finalized without official seals and only signatures, if you don't keep an eye on it from time to time, it will be difficult to saddle people with a contract of 16 million in minutes!
"Why is he in such a hurry?" Roland was a little puzzled and turned his head to look at Kate.
"You know this better than me, right?" Kate looked at the traffic on the road and said: "Steve said that Apple's current products are all graphics cards produced by ATi, and the next generation of iMac will be adapted to MacOS8.5 and ATi graphics processors. β
"Oh......" Roland lengthened his voice, "that's the reason?" β
"But I haven't followed up on this matter at all, let him connect with David......" As soon as the words came out, Roland felt that something was wrong, "Forget it, I'll call David at night to ask about the situation, and then call him back." β
Apple's products have always used ATi's graphics cards, and after ATi was acquired by massage parlors, they have also been working with massage parlors, although for a while they fell in love with Nvidia, but the two sides eventually broke up.
The reason is simple, that is, Nvidia, like IBM, does not like private customized services.
ATi and massage parlors are doing customized work, 'priority', 'exclusive', 'individual optimization', these three points are the basis for their survival, of course, but also the real reason why they can't develop.
Like M390, it was developed only to serve Apple, and the market has been stuck, where is the development space?
However, Roland doesn't have much psychological pressure on this kind of thing.
Without customization, where does the full set of industrial chain come from?
Not a custom-made, scheming ATi?
Before, Roland only had XBox in his eyes, but now that Jobs reminded him, the importance of ATi has increased again.
"Also, Peter came to Los Angeles to connect with Disney and start casting." Kate told the content of today's second phone call, not only that, but she also showed off very proudly: "He also asked me if I was going to play the elf princess......
"You tell him to!" Although he knew that Kate was joking with herself, Roland still shouted: "If he still calls you to ask about it, you tell him, and if you are invited to act again, I will call him to inform him - 'Youarefired'!" β
"Hahaha......" Roland's puffing appearance made Kate laugh again and again, and she shrunk in the seat while letting Roland drive well, and continued to tease: "Then what if he really wants me to play?" What price does he have to pay? β
"Non-existent! There's no way I'm going to let you act, what's the use of what he wants? β
"If, I said if, for example......"
"This assumption will not hold ......"
"It's going to have to be established!"
"Are you talking to me?"
"I'm talking to you! I'm just wondering, does he have anything you want? β
"Really? I don't believe it. β
"Did I lie to you?"
"Okay...... I thought, if you have to play it, then he will give me at least half of Weta Digital? β
"What? In your heart, am I worth half a Vita Digi??? β
Get......
When the grumpy voice came from the co-pilot, Roland, who stopped because he was waiting for the traffic light, looked helpless.
Pulled up the handbrake and stretched out his right hand on his own initiative.
"What are you doing?" Kate, who wanted to continue questioning, was stunned for a moment.
"I said the wrong thing......" Roland accepted his mistake very calmly, "come on...... I accept the punishment ......"
"Hehe......" Roland's behavior on the road made Kate very satisfied, and the bloody mouth opened wide, biting Roland's arm hard, but before touching the skin, the red lips were already closed, "Mua......"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go......" Looking at the lip print on Roland's arm, Kate also slapped the back of his hand twice with a smile, "Don't make trouble, drive well......"
"Really?" Roland looked at Kate 'full of surprise', and then said regretfully: "Then you lost ......"
βWhatοΌβ Kate didn't get it.
However, in the next second, Roland quickly raised his hand and flicked it hard at the shiny head.
"Whew!" Kate, who was in pain, instinctively covered her head and exclaimed, wanting revenge.
But before she could do it, Roland, who saw the green light on, had already put down the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator.
"Don't make a fuss! Drive well! That's what you say......"
"You ......"
Looking at the guy who was driving seriously on the surface, but was actually triumphant, Kate's breathing suddenly became much heavier.
And when comparing the appearance of the cowardly bag more than ten seconds ago with the present, Kate, who reacted, laughed even more angrily.
"You did it on purpose?" Kate asked, grinding her teeth.
"Didn't you mean to do it too?" Roland said.
"But I didn't punish you!" Kate felt wronged.
"That's right! I wanted to tie the two of us, but you have to let me! β
With his hands on the steering wheel, Roland shrugged his shoulders, and the look of 'you have to make me bloody' made Kate cover her face.
She originally wanted to tease Roland, just tease him, after all, that's how she usually plays, and she reaped a lot of happiness from Roland, and now- well, Roland reaped happiness from her.
Although she also wanted to laugh and play Roland's brain, the smooth driving car made her put away the idea of dying.
However, even if she was not angry, even if she felt that it was natural for each other to win or lose each other, she still clasped her hands, made a look of being inextricably untouched, and told Roland very bluntly - 'Coax me! β
Roland, who is cheap and well-behaved, will not spoil the current atmosphere, "Okay, don't be angry......"
"Am I wrong? I shouldn't have played your brain......"
"Shall I press your feet at night?"
"Why don't you take a break this week, and I'll make you something to eat?"
"Shopping?"
"No, you should at least ignore me, right? Say YesorNo? β
"Why don't you ignore people?"
"That ......"
"I'll see if I have time this Christmas, and if I have time, I'll go home with you?"
"Oh no! It's me who wants to see my parents......"
When Roland said this, Kate, who had been holding back her laughter, finally couldn't hold back and broke her skills with a poof.
Looking at the triumphant guy, Roland complained: "You guy is too expensive, you have to pay so much if you play your head, I knew I would kiss you, anyway, I have already earned ......"
"Come home for Christmas, huh? I asked James to adjust his shooting schedule and try to spare a week. β
However, Roland's words did not win Kate's appreciation, but made her ask in surprise.
I saw her snapping her fingers and counting Roland: "Who said that you will only go home for Christmas?" I have to press my feet, cook, go shopping, and go home...... This is your own compensation, you can't cheat! β
"Also, I want to eat the kind of rotten chicken you made last time......"
It's really a child's choice, and I want it all!" Roland smiled and shook his head, but did not refuse, "Rotten chicken? Isn't that just shredded chicken? It's a hassle to do that, and I have to go to Chinatown to buy materials......"
"Just go shopping~" Seeing that Roland was about to refuse, Kate was in a hurry, and even her voice became sweet and greasy.
"Okay, okay, I'll make ...... for you"
When the affirmative answer came out of Roland's mouth, Kate, who had been staring at him, smiled contentedly.
Although Roland's words were full of helplessness, the corners of his mouth were perfectly captured by Kate.
Glancing in the center rearview mirror and looking at the pampered face, Kate pursed her lips.
Even though she was used to it all, she still felt something new every time Roland spoiled herself again.
"Roland, you're so nice......"
"Huh? Can I do it without it? β
"Yes!"
"It's really fake!"
"Of course it's true, don't dream!"
ββ¦β¦ Roll ......"
