With the finalization of the filming location, the filming schedule of "Saving Private Ryan" has also been determined.

Since Spielberg is the only one in the entire project team who has work at hand, after he finishes filming "Broken Lock Fury", a group of people can fly directly to the British set and start filming in the group.

The time is tentatively set for the end of June.

As for whether the preparatory work can be completed in four months?

That's a bit of a joke.

If you have to determine the shooting location first, and then you can customize the props and create the interior model, then isn't the industrial process in Hollywood like a handicraft workshop, grinding and chirping?

The Tiger tank that appeared in the movie was entrusted to the military industry to be modified with a retired Soviet-made T-34, which could have been driven, pulled on the transport plane, and where you wanted to use it, just airdrop it directly.

A devastated and ruined French town?

First use the computer to make a three-dimensional model, print it out, hand-retouch, and then enlarge it into a physical building in scale, all of which are props that can be spliced, the so-called stealth passages and hiding places, which are arranged at the time of prop production, and the reason why the battle scenes of the interior and the street presented from different angles will not be worn is purely because when making the three-dimensional model, Spielberg has already selected the shooting location with the props team.

When they make movies, it's actually like playing a game of making a house.

Determine what kind of scene I need, and then start working on the 3D model.

Once you've decided on the background for your shot, you'll look for the environment to match it in reality.

At the same time, the physical props formed from the 3D model are also being made, and when the location team finds the environment that matches the idea, the props team has already done the things and can directly pull them over to build the shooting venue.

It doesn't matter if the location team gets nothing, they have the option of buying land and building it themselves, and they don't have to worry about it at all.

Of course, this is the treatment of an A-level project.

With big names here, studios dare to invest money, and as soon as the money is in place, efficiency will naturally rise.

However, it is precisely because of the high efficiency brought by this status that all the blockbusters have become orphans with no turning back.

Just like Wang Jing's comment on Lao Mouzi's "The Great Wall", 'he knew that this scene was going to be ruined halfway through filming, but he could only shoot hard. ’

When the studio is putting a lot of effort into making props, and all the departments are working at the same time, even if you find a bug in the middle of a shoot, very few people can reshoot it, because it's all money.

Like James Cameron's behavior of finding bugs and asking Fox for money to remake with a knife, few have done it.

The truck driver has a backer that the news corps has to please, so he will naturally not be replaced, and those who have no power or power and only rely on their talents, or those who have a slight background but are not strong - they can only grit their teeth and make-like film and television dramas.

For the producer, even if it is, it can sell it for some money and get some money back.

If it is a remake with additional investment, no one can guarantee that when the remake is made, no new problems will be discovered.

Just like "Winning the World", after being reported, the script was overturned and revised for reshooting, and then there was a night stay, and then in order to remedy the reduction of the second female role, the male protagonist was accused again, and the female protagonist who claimed to be a wealthy family was picked up from the yin and yang contract, and after that, a supplementary agreement was signed and money was spent on modifying the shots of the main actors.

It's a pity that the contract has just been signed, and the whole country has stopped production.

Although this is an extremely special case, it can also be a good proof that the success of the diversion shooting is often a dream.

That's why the producer-centric system is so important.

Not only do they have to control the creative aspirations of the director and actors, but they also have to solve a series of problems before the project starts shooting.

For example, sign compensation clauses with actors and directors to limit their personal behavior.

It is precisely because of this that Roland never thought of developing on the producer side.

There are too many miscellaneous things, too much trouble.

He just needs to know what he wants to shoot and how to shoot it, and that's enough, as for the rest?

Isn't it good to be a father of Party A?

The Big Six are Party A, and other projects other than animation, after the end of the Hollywood Golden Age, they will not be raised.

The cost is too high.

With this kind of thought, Roland's learning will only stop at the category of directing, because it is simpler and easier to ask questions than to solve them, and he has the final right to make decisions, so it is the same whether the producer learns or not.

If I don't study, I can also become a producer, and if I really work, I can only wronged you to be a production director.

Why?

Because I have the ability to make money!

Because I can directly go past the agent and negotiate the project with those big names!

And you, no!

Because of this, he was not interested in participating in the preliminary preparations for "Saving Private Ryan".

But for Kate, the executive producer of Spielberg's film project!

Sounds like a beep is much taller than a B-list actress!

Although she wasn't interested in the producer's stuff before, isn't there no filming now?

The rest of the work involved in the circle is much easier than a one-size-fits-all exit from the circle, not to mention that this is still a big man's project!

So she burst out with great enthusiasm, and Roland went with her.

As long as Kate doesn't act, the rest of Roland can accept it.

Let a twenty-year-old guy enjoy a senior retirement life directly?

No kidding, this sounds like it can drive people crazy!

When Kate wanted to learn more about the producer's business, DreamWorks gave her the green light.

Look at the information casually, ask questions casually, contact directly if you have something, and you can chat if you have nothing to do.

As long as you enter the dream factory, then treat it as your home, just like Roland, nothing is taboo.

And when Kate was running back and forth between DreamWorks and Roland's house at two o'clock every day, using Roland's study, which only used a few days a year, as her office, Roland, who inadvertently flipped through the information, saw a bald head.

"Hey, how did I forget this bald head?"

Looking at the photos attached to the actor's profile, Roland slapped his head and showed an emotional smile on his face-

"Tut-tut, the relationship that allowed Steven to write the plot deliberately, finally met you......"

That's right, the guy Roland saw was Vin Diesel.

is the Boss Don who always shows deep eyes when acting.

In his previous life, many press releases said that because Spielberg appreciated Fan Guangtou's wonderful performance in the independent film "Lost", which he wrote, directed and acted in, he specially designed a role for him in "Saving Private Ryan", and a lot of gossip broke the news that his real identity was Spielberg's bodyguard, but in fact, it was ......

People actually entered the industry very early.

Steven Spielberg and Vin Diesel have known each other since the nineties.

Ninety-year-old Fan bald, still a twenty-three-year-old young man, made a cameo appearance as a hospital attendant in the movie "Speechless Ask the Sky" starring fellow Italian countrymen Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.

Due to the small number of scenes, he still used his real name 'Vincent' at that time, and did not leave his name in the movie list, and at the suggestion of Robert De Niro, he was still a literary and artistic young man, so he thought of a stage name for himself.

Thus, Vin Diesel was born.

Then, inspired by Robert De Niro, he opened his own film company called Oions, spent 3,000 yuan, made his first short film "Man with a Thousand Faces", and showed it at the Sundance International Film Festival founded by Robert Redford, a member of the Jewish gang, and then was successfully bought by the purchasing staff of Warner Home Video, who "didn't know him at all", "had nothing to do with him", and "was not instructed by anyone else at all".

It was the injection of this money that gave him the money to shoot "Lost", which would be favored by Spielberg.

Then, it was logical to make a fortune with "Saving Private Ryan".

As for who his dad is?

Robert De Niro won't say who he is!

As for how he got hot?

Spielberg said he was talented, that is, talented!

Just like they say that Roland is handsome, this is an irrefutable fact!

And after simply flipping through the cast list, Roland's emotion was confiscated, because-

Tom Hanks, who plays Captain John Miller, is Ron Howard's man;

Tom Sizemore, who plays Sergeant Mike Horvat, is Tom Cruise's man;

Private Stanley Melley as Private Adam Goldberg is from "Tales from the ER";

Giovanni Ribissi, who plays Medic Owen Wade, was brought in by Tom Hanks;

Jeremy Davis, who plays Corporal Urban, is the boyfriend of Spielberg's goddaughter, Drew Barrymore;

Paul Kiamati, who plays Sergeant Hill, has Woody Allen and Harrison Ford endorsements......

Flipping through the entire list of actors, on each page of the crooked and slanted, there are the words 'powerful actor', and after a careful look for a long time, Roland saw the words from the cracks in the words, and the two words written all over the book are 'relationship'.

Even according to the original, Roland didn't squeeze out Matt Damon, but that guy was also recommended by Robin Williams.

So......

How do you say ordinary people are mixed up in this circle!

By the time you hear about a quality project, it's all already on the ground.

…………

And when Roland accompanied Kate to read the information together, Paramount's side was also very jubilant.

When they received the shortlist from DreamWorks and the tentative shooting schedule, they fell into excitement from top to bottom.

Since the explosion of "Home Alone" in the 90s, they have wanted to cooperate with Roland.

But he was born at the wrong time, and it took three years to successfully meet Roland in "Forrest Gump".

Not only that, Roland's sentence of 'cameo' also extinguished the eager flame that burned in their chests, not the starring role, they earned less, even if they were pulled, it would not be fun!

The point is that after "Forrest Gump", Roland held back for three years before he came up with "Spider-Man".

Such a slow production speed made Paramount feel desperate, and after "Spider-Man", Roland took over Fox's "Titanic", the kind of behavior that jumps back and forth in his own project, Paramount is extremely hot.

Said three years, but it turned out to be three years and three years! It's been six years!

Zipper is in his second term! Comrade Chuan Jianguo has already gone undercover and become the most famous real estate developer!

As a result, they still haven't eaten Roland's dividends!

Just when Paramount thought that Roland, who was already able to loot the project wantonly, might just have nothing to do with his family, eh!

"Saving Private Ryan" has appeared!

Although they have read the script and know that James Ryan played by Roland has not even appeared for forty minutes, compared with the last ten-second cameo, it is already a qualitative breakthrough, okay!

Not only that, but on the promotional name of the whole movie, there is the name of Roland's character!

As a character that can be used on the movie list, if this is not the protagonist, then who can be called the protagonist?

"Great! Is it finally our turn to eat the popularity bonus of A+list? ”

"It's the same as Forrest Gump back then, it's still a combination of Tom Hanks + Roland Allen! Only this time, both of them are the protagonists! We can finally advertise it under the banner of Roland Allen! ”

"The point is! Roland Allen's fan base has also grown, and they were able to pull their parents into the set in order to watch "Terminator 2"! Now, without the age shackles of R-rated films, there will definitely be more guys who enter the movie! ”

Just when Shirley Lansing, the general manager of Paramount, cheered for the good news in front of her, regardless of her own demeanor, the subordinate in charge of the report also responded, "Yes, in the past few years, our market share has been declining year after year, and now DreamWorks can cooperate with us, in fact, it is also reducing the pressure on the board of directors on us, even if we lose, with them, we can also get rid of the relationship......"

That's right, don't look at the fact that Universal has changed hands year after year, Sony is painful to be squeezed by Jews, but in fact, Paramount is the most uncomfortable in the circle, since the 90s, they have won the box office championship once, and the rest of the time, they are all messing up.

And the only time it was "Forrest Gump".

This kind of iron sheet performance made the shareholders extremely dissatisfied, and it also allowed Viacom to smoothly acquire Paramount.

Shirley Lansing came to power after Paramount returned to Viacom, so she needs to make solid achievements and let the parent company see her value, which is why after hearing the words of her subordinates, she is fifty-three years old, with a sinister face, "What does it mean that even if we lose, we can get rid of the relationship?" ”

"Will Roland Allen lose?"

"He's won the annual crown six times in seven years!"

"This year's "Titanic" will win the year's crown, and next year's "Saving Private Ryan" will be the same!"

"The next two installments of "Spider-Man" will start next year?"

"The box office champion of 99 or 2,000 years will also be his!"

All legends are written with achievements, six annual championships in seven years, and one of them has five consecutive championships, this kind of record is much more terrifying than Hollywood Lianzhuang actors.

After all, the total number of Oscar judges is not more than 10,000, and the box office annual champion is piled up with tens of millions of views.

If at the beginning people were still skeptical about his influence, then now, as soon as he announced the project, the company has already assigned his project to the box office champion position in the year of release.

Roland Allen's films don't need them to predict the box office, and they admit that they can't.

It is under this subtle influence, not to mention the outside public, even industry insiders feel that Roland's success is the norm, and their green light committee is in the bull beep, which is also a fake trick that is just talking but not practicing.

These guys are just talking, and Roland is really making money!

And after Shirley Lansing replied to her subordinates in a confident tone, the guys who heard this words were all silent.

In Hollywood, whoever can make money is the boss.

Seeing that his subordinates had agreed with his point of view, Shirley Lansing was no longer strong, "Although the appearance time is less than forty minutes, his salary should not be low, right?" It's not going to be another 18 percent, is it? ”

"If that's the case, our margins are extremely limited."

Last year, the total box office of "Spider-Man" was 880 million, and Roland took 176 million, while Sony, which was fully funded, only earned 16.4 billion after deducting costs, and if the publicity costs were deducted, the net profit was about 130 million.

Although Roland can take money with his ability, isn't the real idea of the capitalists that they can give less and give less?

In order to avoid taking over, crude oil futures have fallen to minus $40, which can be seen from the fact that they would rather dump than send them.

And just when Shirley Lansing was calculating how much box office "Saving Private Ryan" would have to win if Roland took it according to eighteen points in order to realize Paramount's vision of doubling its investment, a piece of news from her subordinates surprised her.

"Roland starred with zero pay."

"What? Zero pay? Shirley Lansing suspected her ears had heard it wrong.

"Yes, Steven said, Roland doesn't want to make money."

"Roland doesn't want to make money?" Shirley Lansing feels like she's heard the funniest joke in the world.

Mixed in the circle, which one is not for money?

Right! Spielberg did give up the salary of "Schindler's List", but he took 250 million from "Jurassic Park"! To sum it up, isn't it equivalent to changing hands, and Universal will return the money to him again?

And Roland doesn't want to make money, so what the hell is he who has only taken a share since "Jurassic Park"?

Brush your face, spend half a year, you can earn more than the producer, in this case suddenly said that you don't make money, then the producers who shared his money before, who have to go to reason!

Can ...... now

Roland did sign the contract, and the salary was zero.

After reading the copy several times in a row and making sure that she was right, Shirley Lansing suddenly felt that Paramount might be caught.

Although the Internet thinking that free is the most expensive has not yet appeared, for Hollywood executives, the A+list that does not need money is simply the Virgin who cannot exist in the world!

"Have you looked into it? What does Roland want? ”

It's a pity that in the face of her inquiry, everyone at the scene just shook their heads.

For this kind of ignorant behavior, Shirley Lansing, who was still excited, frowned.

Yes, the Big Six do want to squeeze the actors and directors below, but ......

Giving up unreasonably will also stir their nerves!

And after asking his subordinates to bring Roland's recent movement information and did not find anything abnormal, Shirley Lansing, who felt strange, stared at the landline for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of dialing Spielberg's phone and asking about the situation.

"Well, since you gave up, then I can only assume that you give up voluntarily."

"We'll calculate how much money you should take first, and when you ask me, I'll deduct it directly from there."

"I hope you don't overdo it."

If it had been someone else, Shirley Lansing would have asked a long time ago.

But because Roland has a big background, it is not easy for her to probe wantonly.

In her opinion, even if Roland wanted to calculate Paramount, it was the parent company Viacom's business.

As for Paramount itself?

Even if we know that you are calculating us, we want to beat you, but we dare not do it!

Disney watched you buy the copyright from Miramax without saying a word, and we Paramount can't beat Disney! The only one who can benchmark with Disney is our parent company Viacom!

If Roland had known what Shirley Lansing was thinking, he would have been dumbfounded.

He signed a contract to star with zero pay first, and he really just wanted to show his sincerity!

I really just want to let you help Kate rush to the Olympics by giving away the profits from "Saving Private Ryan"!

There's no calculation at all!

You can't think so badly of me!

As for Miramax?

Wasn't it Harvey Weinstein who was desperate to sell me the rights?

I didn't hit anyone! He volunteered!
