Ps: Watch the exclusive story behind "I am Hollywood", listen to your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point of the Chinese network public number (WeChat add friends - add public number - enter qdread), tell me quietly! Away with Aniston's few people, Eric took Nicole and Elizabeth and several other members of the staff to the boarding gate. The huge Boeing passenger plane slid over the long run and rushed to the sky. After the plane stabilized, Eric unleashed the seat belt and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Elizabeth, who always intentionally or unintentionally turned to Eric, snorted at this moment: "This is the end of a greedy man, hehe."

Eric didn't want to discuss this with Elizabeth. This little girl is obviously eating, so whatever he says is equal to the other person, silence is the best way.

After four hours of flight, the passenger plane arrived at Seattle's Tacoma International Airport. It looked out through the window, the track was wet, and the sky was gloomy. Obviously, it had just rained.

Compared to Los Angeles, where the sun is more than three hundred days a year, the weather in Seattle is simply the other extreme. Because of the temperate maritime climate, Seattle maintains a state of humidity throughout the year, even when it is not raining. People have a moist feeling. It is said that the phrase "Seattle is raining every nine months in Seattle" in the original edition is the complaint caused by director Nola Avery, who often delays the shooting process during the shooting.

At the careful reminder of the flight attendant, Eric and others added a piece of clothing for themselves before they got off the plane, but just out of the airport, they still feel cool.

Los Angeles temperature can still reach 30 degrees in September, but Seattle is already cool in autumn. The temperature is only about 15 degrees.

"Hey, Eric." After Jeffrey, who came to pick up the plane, saw Eric, he walked up to the front and hugged him.

Eric greeted him. Let go of Jeffrey and ask, "How are you feeling in Seattle recently?"

"It's bad. I don't like the weather here very much," Jeffrey shook his head.

Eric smiled and said: "Take a few more days, and when I get on the right track, you can go to New York."

"I know, let's go, the car is outside," Jeffrey said, greeting other people. I took the crowd out of the airport and got a few commercial vehicles.

After a half-hour trip, the crowd arrived at the film's location in Seattle, Alki Beach, which is located on the southwestern side of Seattle. If you go to the city center, it will take about 20 kilometers, because it is quite remote. Therefore, the living environment of the crew is also quite simple.

Elizabeth stood in her room, looking at the simple bed and table and chairs in front of her face, and the old-fashioned TV set like the small box. Eric, who was forced to pull it by himself, complained: "Eric, is the fund of the crew already nervous to this point?"

"Of course not," Eric thought the girl's expression was very interesting. Jokingly said: "But I haven't built a five-star hotel here for the crew to stay."

"But, I..." The girl looked at everything in the room with a look of disappointment.

"Liz, you have to understand that we are coming to make movies, not to enjoy. In order to save time, we must choose the place of residence nearby. We can’t always live better. The dozens of crews drive from the city every day. How many kilometers come here? This area is a residential area for a few kilometers. You should be able to think about how much congestion people will drive every day when they drive to the city. How long will it waste?"

Elizabeth frowned. "It looks like... it’s dirty."

"If you can't stand it, then you go to the city to live in the hotel. The small hotel in the neighborhood is just fine. You see. There is no TV." Eric smiled and pointed A small box with a wooden case with an old-fashioned TV set, I wonder if I want to get rid of one. This stuff has been an antique for more than a decade. It might be a post-modernist literary fan in the house. feel.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and gave Eric a look like 'Are you teasing me?'

After jokes, Eric patted the girl's shoulder and said: "Liz, are you not planning to be a producer? If you can't stand this, I advise you to give up early. Wait for you to shoot in the future. When you are in the movie, you will often encounter a shooting environment that is not as good as it is here. It is inevitable to stay in the wild. What do you do at that time?"

"I..." The girl bit her lip and couldn't help but ask: "Where does the crew live in such a place?"

"Of course," Eric said: "I am in the room opposite you diagonally, you are Nicole opposite. And, a hotel can't live without everyone, so I just said that this is the best one, the crew The house and the props who lived there were across the street, and the conditions were even worse."

Elizabeth sank for a moment and finally turned silently and dragged her suitcase into it.

After lunch, Eric took an afternoon to check the scenes of Jeffrey and others. The night crew held a simple boot party. The next day, "Sleepless in Seattle" Officially booted up.

"Hey, Victor, how about getting along with Uncle Hanks these days?" Eric squatted around the boy, seven or eight years old, wearing a red jacket and a baseball cap as the staff laid the camera track. .

The little boy named Victor Morris looked up at the mother next to him and was encouraged. He said: "Uncle Hanks is a very good person. He bought me a lot of gifts." The boy said, I also took a pocket-sized Transformers model from my pocket and shook it at Eric, which looked like Optimus Prime.

Eric smiled and said: "Well, if you wait for your performance, I will buy you a gift, how about the full set of Transformers?"

The little boy looked at his mother again and then shook his head: "No, Mr. Director, my mother said that you have paid me a piece of money, so even if there is no gift, I will perform well."

Eric patted the boy's head and chatted with the little guy before he stood up and said to Hanks: "What do you think?"

"Victor is very obedient and very clever. Just don't know if he can perform the cleverness you requested. To be honest, I think there is a boy who is best suited to Jonah."

Eric knew that Hanks was referring to Stewart Langkel. But obviously this is unlikely, even if it is a supporting role. Stewart’s pay is also in the millions, and the little boy’s salary is only $100,000. Fireflies are not short of money. But it will not do this unnecessary waste. Jonah's role is also very good, but after all, it is a supporting role, the male and female protagonists are always Sam and Annie.

"Try it a few times. The reason why I chose this boy was that he was very obedient. The shooting time of "Seattle" is not loose. If you choose a disobedient little actor, it may delay the shooting time. That was a disaster for the crew."

"Oh. I understand." Hanks smiled.

The shooting track was laid out quickly, and Eric had a simple communication with the two, and Hanks took the little boy to the beach.

The first scene was very simple. It was mainly Sam’s shot with Jonah in the sea and playing at the beach. Because it was all in the distance, there was no acting requirement, so as long as Hanks and the little guy played casually, Eric I told the photographer and the assistant director a few words, let them take as much footage as possible and walked to the nearby trailer.

The trailer door is open. Eric went straight in, and the makeup artist was giving Nicole a makeup, waiting for the playful shots of Hanks and the little guy. The girl will also start her first scene, which is the scene of watching the play of the father and son far away, and the first scene of the first conversation between Anne and Sam.

Although in the movie, the male and female protagonists did not communicate until an hour later, Eric planned to put the scene at the beginning.

"Mr. Williams," the two female makeup artists immediately greeted him when he saw Eric coming in.

"You go on," Eric comforted Nicole, who was about to stand up, and walked behind the girl. Looking at the pretty woman in the make-up mirror.

After a while, I used the makeup brush to clean up the face for Nicole. The makeup artist said to Eric: "Mr. Williams, do you see this?"

Nicole also got up. In front of Eric, the station turned around in a show.

At this time, the girl was wearing a white small suit and a tube skirt, stepping on white high heels, and wearing a large hooded gray windbreaker outside, exactly the same as Meg Ryan's dress in memory. However, although the two are equally beautiful, there is absolutely no connection between the temperament, and Eric wants a silly and sweet heroine.

"Nic, imagine you are Anne Ryder, then smile at me." Eric leaned in front of a table and said to the girl.

Nicole brewed it for a moment, and after a moment, she squinted her head and cracked her mouth, looking silly at Eric. In an instant, a stupid, very sweet and a little sweet breath came. Eric stunned and slammed his thumb: "Good, that's it."

After Nicole got Eric's approval, she quickly accepted her expression and turned back to the tall and glamorous Nicole Kidman, looking at Eric to wait for the next command.

Eric doesn't mind the change of the girl's expression, as long as Nicole can quickly switch state during the performance.

"Right, Anne's way of walking, should you try to figure it out?"

"Of course," Nicole nodded, looked around, picked up a satchel and hung it on her shoulders. It looked like she was going to fall at any moment, and then stepped on the splayed lazy step that was completely different from her. Go to the outside of the trailer.

"That's great," Eric once again praised, and Nicole's performance was far beyond his expectations. (Good activity in the sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you to take!
