Made in Hollywood

A fierce battle scene was completed, and the crew temporarily entered a rest stage. Duke reviewed the footage that was just filmed and sat in the winter sun of the ruins, holding a cup of hot coffee. The discomfort caused by the interruption of filming in the morning. It disappeared completely at this time, but rather happily chatting with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Are we going too far?"

Leonardo's young face is still green, "Will such an explosion have a bad effect?"

"Impact?" Duke seemed weird, with an expression that we did nothing. "We are just shooting according to the schedule. We can't have a holiday today because of the plan change, right?"

"That's the truth."

Probably the person most affected before, the current Tom Hanks completely agrees with Duke’s words, "My time is also very tight, and it is impossible to drag the show off indefinitely. The Oscar nomination will be announced in a few days. I have to go back to North America."

"Need to congratulate you in advance?"

Hearing Duke's words, Tom Hanks shook his head, "Congratulations, Duke, you got the North American box office champion last year."

After entering 1995, "Independence ≠↘, Day" was screened in nearly 200 theaters in North America. After nearly half a year of hard work, the North American box office finally exceeded "Jurassic Park"'s $357.06 million, reaching 3 At US$59.91 million, it created the best North American box office results in recent years, and at the same time, it overwhelmed the already downgrades of "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump", and firmly held the 1994 North American box office champion in the hands. .

The film’s global box office totaled US$888.85 million. Although most overseas markets have ended its screenings, they are still working hard to consolidate their money in many remote countries, hitting the first box office record of "Jurassic Park" in film history.

These are indeed capital worthy of congratulations, and the main actors of the crew are also willing to endure the deployment of such a workaholic director. Because once "Saving Private Ryan" sells out, they will also become part of the benefit.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the rubble sounded, Duke turned his head to look, Robin Grande was walking over.

"Something?" Duke asked.

Unless there is something important, the two production managers are both invisible men of the crew.

"Someone from the crew of "Brave Heart" is here," Robin Grande said, avoiding a triangular building ruin. "I want to talk to you."

"Who is coming here?"

Not only Duke asked, but Tom Hanks next to him also showed interest. After all, it was him who was directly affected in the morning.

"It's not Mel Gibson."

Maybe after getting along for a long time, and occasionally guessing Duke's bad mind, Robin Grande shook his head and said, "It's Bruce Davis, an executive producer of Braveheart."

Hearing this, Duke had no interest, "Robin. Let Charles go to see him, he must be very happy, you all know where my bottom line is."

"Our shooting plan will not change."

After saying this, Robin Grande went to Charles Rowan.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who was sitting at the back, heard these words completely. The corners of his mouth could not stop trembling. It seemed that the young director in front had a strong vengeance. After changing the plan, they In the next few days, we will film the ending war scene. There are many explosions, if the crew next door will not be affected. He would rather believe that Duke Rosenberg is a good man.

He also got up and left here. He had just returned to the actor's resting place, and he heard shocking news from some particularly well-informed people.

Just when the crew was filming the explosion scene, the horses used for filming next door were frightened, which not only destroyed the set. Many people were injured to varying degrees. Among them, Sean Connery, the most injured, may have a comminuted fracture in his right leg...

Looking up at the direction when he came, Leonardo saw that the young director was talking and laughing with Tom Hanks. He didn't seem to pay attention to what happened next door. It seemed that all of this was related to "Saving Private Rui Well, the crew has nothing to do. It seems that Sean Connery’s injury was completely accidental...

This... is Hollywood? Is the competition within and outside the rules everywhere? If you want to climb up, want to be as successful as Duke Rosenberg and Tom Hanks, can't you be afraid of all kinds of competition? Are you going to step on the opponent's head?

The young Leonardo DiCaprio seemed to have a deeper understanding of this circle.

Here Duke reconvened the actors and various departments to start filming. In the temporary reception room on the other side, Charles Rowan met Bruce Davis who came on behalf of Mel Gibson.

"Sorry, Bruce." Charles Rowan said unhurriedly, "In the morning, in order not to affect the shooting of "Brave Heart", Director Rosenberg had to adjust the shooting plan. Between our studios The distance is pulled far enough so that the mutual influence may be minimized."

"The problem is that your shooting has affected us!" Bruce Davis looked angry. "The explosions you continue to create have seriously affected our shooting. Our horses are frightened by your explosions! Sean Connor Li fell into a horse and was seriously injured!"

"According to what you mean..." Charles Rowan turned serious, "The crew of "Saving Private Ryan" is responsible for this?"

"I can't talk about responsibility," Bruce Davis said in a bad tone. "But you have seriously affected Director Gibson. We should sit down and discuss a filming plan that is acceptable to both sides."

"That's what I meant in the morning." Charles Rowan snorted and continued without waiting for the other person to speak. "You should know what the media and fans have called Rosenberg's director. We will be shooting in the next few weeks. It's a war scene. A lot of preparations are already in place, and adjustments will definitely bring losses. Who is responsible for this part of the losses?"

"you……"

Bruce Davis felt anger hit his forehead, and he was still filming literary dramas in the morning, and the war drama was only temporarily changed...

"We can only say sorry!"

Hearing Charles Rowan’s rather indifferent words, Bruce Davis understood that this matter is difficult to resolve through negotiation, and simply said, “For your bad behavior, we will complain to the union!”

These faintly threatening words also aroused Charles Rowan's anger. He was tricked by Mel Gibson in the morning, and he hadn't gotten angry yet.

"Okay!" He stared at each other closely, "As a member of the Producers League, since there has been a serious safety incident on the crew, I think I have an obligation to truthfully report to the actors' union!"

Sean Connery and others were injured. It is indeed related to "Saving Private Ryan", but from a legal point of view, it has nothing to do. Moreover, this is Ireland, not North America!

Seeing Bruce Davis unwilling to leave, Charles Rowan felt a lot more comfortable. The shame of being fooled in the morning was just half a day and Duke used several explosions to return it to the opponent. This is simply the most Great way to fight back.

As for Sean Connery's broken leg, he doesn't care at all. What if he complains to the union? And behind "Saving Private Ryan" are the three giants of Warner Bros., Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox!

What reaction will there be in the follow-up of "Brave Heart", Duke did not intend to care at all. Hearing the news of Sean Connery's broken leg, he was only slightly taken aback and continued his own shooting, regardless of the other party. In any case, he made up his mind to finish filming the end credits before talking about other things.

As for whether it will disrupt Mel Gibson's filming plan, it's like the reaction of the other party after Charles Rowan's negotiations, whatever it is!

Gunshots, cannons, and explosions remained the themes of the set for more than a week.

"Now clear the site, and the unrelated personnel are evacuated 400 feet away!"

Looking up at the abandoned clock tower, Duke personally held up the megaphone to give orders, "John, your No. 1 camera is fifteen degrees to the left. Take a medium shot! Ben, I want a wide-angle close-up! David, pay attention to the tank! "

The film crew is busy, and the props crew is also debugging the modified tanks. The pyrotechnics crew has long been up to the clock tower to arrange blasting points. In order to blow up the half-collapsed abandoned building, the pyrotechnics used military explosives again. Duke wants irrelevant personnel to retreat as much as possible.

When setting up the set here, a dedicated photography space was reserved, and there were certain protection measures, so there was no need to worry about the threat of flying gravel.

After nearly a month of running-in, the team has found the best rhythm and state. Although the constant explosions do torture people's nerves, as someone who followed Duke to shoot the third film in a row, he also adapted to the noise. Working in a complex environment, even if you occasionally make a small mistake, you can still complete your work with quality and quantity.

After receiving notice from Jos Williams, Duke called out again to clear the scene, and after confirming that the departments were correct, he was notified to start shooting.

The German tank modified from the Soviet-made t-34 tank slowly turned its muzzle and aimed at the direction of the bell tower. A burst of gunpowder flashed through. The top of the abandoned bell tower exploded violently. The rubble flew up into the sky. The ruins of the building hit the ground, arousing countless dust, and the small half of the studio was covered with a layer of dust.

Duke came out of the main camera with a sullen face. Regardless of the wet towel sent by his assistant, Duke first walked behind the director's monitor to check the shots just taken. The overall effect of the small-scale violent explosion was quite good.

"Give you."

When he looked up from the monitor, Sophia Coppola handed over the steaming wet towel in time. Duke took it and wiped it on his face before listening to her continue to say, "Just received Nancy called, "Independence Day" was nominated for several awards." (To be continued.)
