America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 66 Shooting Training Starts

On the plane, Eric was resting with his eyes closed.

Last night, leaving behind Chloë Sevigny who rolled her eyes and collapsed on the floor, Eric went to the coffee shop for an appointment.

Now with a contract in his bag, "Whale Rider" is no longer involved with Niki Caro.

After signing the contract, the two of them tried on the different sizes in the bathroom of the coffee shop, and then walked out under the strange eyes of the waiter.

In this circle, there are simply not too many such things. After all, the nature of the work has given rise to a proper term - crew couple.

Since we often go out to film movies, if it is a remote area with inconvenient transportation, a group of people will be closed for several months.

We are all adults, and we are in this materialistic circle. It is okay for a few days, but after a long time, we will inevitably have to vent our desires.

If you don’t have time to find your partner or go home, it’s not safe to order takeout, so what should you do? Naturally, they hooked up with the crew.

Experienced people separated after filming, and the temporary couple ended smoothly. No one would mention this matter. If they meet in the future and both are interested, it might be possible to continue their relationship.

Those who are inexperienced or easily get emotional may find themselves filming a movie and falling in love, and often use the excuse that they can't get out of the movie.

But there are very few actors who are really into the drama. Most of them are caused by hormones and sperm.

This is the case for Eric and Nikki Caro. Eric is handsome and handsome, and Nikki Caro has just entered the age of mature women and is also a woman of taste.

The woman takes the initiative and the man takes advantage of the situation. It is not clear whether there will be further cooperation in the future. They have a romantic relationship and then forget about each other in the world.

As for Chloë Sevigny, she has been serving her wholeheartedly for several days. It just so happens that there is a female hacker who partners with Zhan Yimei in "Transformers", so let her forget it and count it as a guest appearance.

Once there is a new project, give her a suitable role.

However, the Sundance Film Festival is not over yet, Chloë Sevigny has to participate in promotions and will not join the cast for a few days.

In addition, Hasbro's stock price is up a bit today, which is a blessing in disguise.

The release of the Bumblebee video has indeed had a big impact. Now fans' expectations for the movie have suddenly been raised several notches, and they believe that MGM is indeed capable of making Transformers well.

There are also a large number of fans leaving messages on MGM's official website, demanding that other Transformers videos continue to be released.

Eric took advantage of the situation and issued an order to announce one product every half month until the movie is released. This kind of hype method is rare now.

The box office of "Saw" in its third week has also been released. It dropped 47% to US$21.2 million. The North American box office accumulated US$96.7 million. Analysts predict that the final box office in North America will reach about US$200 million.

At the same time, it has also been released in regions other than several Asian countries. The high reputation has still brought high box office. So far, the cumulative overseas box office has reached 54.5 million U.S. dollars, and the global cumulative box office has reached 500 million U.S. dollars.

According to analysts' predictions, the final global box office is expected to be US$200 million, which is already a pretty impressive result for an R-rated horror film.

The Transformers set, to be precise, is a training ground.

Cengchi

A pickup truck was running rampant on the road. Suddenly, there was a curve in front of it, and the pickup truck drifted around the corner.

boom!

As a result, the drift failed and hit the guardrail covered with anti-collision pads, causing it to roll over immediately.

Upon seeing this, a group of people immediately ran around. Assistant director Patty Jenkins hurriedly dispatched rescue. Soon after, the vehicle was righted, and Gal Gadot climbed out of the driver's seat in disgrace.

"Gadot, are you okay?" Patty Jenkins asked hurriedly.

"Ahem"

After coughing a few times, Gal Gadot forced a smile: "I'm fine. I'm sorry for the failure. Let's try it again."

Patty Jenkins looked at her hand: "No, you are injured, check first!"

After an examination by the crew doctor, fortunately it was not serious, just a scratch. The seat belt still played a big role.

At this time, the crowd parted and Eric walked in: "Gadot, please treat the wound first and take a rest."

"Eric, when did you come?" Gal Gadot's eyes lit up.

"I just arrived. I didn't expect to see a big scene when I arrived. It seems that everyone is training very hard."

Patty Jenkins suggested: "Gadot's scene is too dangerous. It is difficult to perform difficult vehicle movements in a short period of time. Otherwise, we should use a substitute."

Before Eric could speak, Gal Gadot hurriedly refused: "No, it's just driving. I can definitely do it, believe me!"

This is the crew, everyone is watching, everyone else is training hard, Gal Gadot doesn’t want to be special, obviously it can be done through training, but you use a stand-in, what do everyone think of you?

And although she looks carefree and informal, she has a strong personality on the inside, and she doesn't want others to gossip about Eric.

Eric naturally means the same thing. A good relationship does not mean a green light will be given, but the standards must be stricter.

"Patti, this scene is related to the final battle. It is the place that best reflects the heroine's character and her abilities. It must be shot in real life and no stand-ins can be used!"

The boss has spoken, and everyone else must obey. All they can do is increase training intensity.

After hearing the news of the arrival of the big boss, other members of the crew also came to meet him.

Assistant director Neill Blomkamp came over with a man in military uniform. The man looked to be in his forties. He was tall and exuded a tough temperament, completely different from the rest of the crew.

Eric was not familiar with military ranks, but looking at the man's heavily patterned epaulettes, he must not be little Karami.

"Director, this is Lieutenant Colonel Freeman. The military has appointed him as our military advisor."

Eric took the initiative to reach out and shake the other person's hand. He felt that the skin was very rough, and it even gave him the feeling of holding the bark of a tree.

"Hello Lieutenant Colonel Freeman, welcome to the "Transformers" crew."

Freeman smiled: "Hello Mr. Eric, I have been ordered to assist you in completing the filming of the movie."

"Anything that requires the military's cooperation during this period must be explained to me in advance and I will arrange relevant matters."

"Thank you in advance. By the way, there are several actors in the crew who need to undergo basic military training. At least they need to look like soldiers. I don't know."

Before Eric could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lieutenant Colonel Freeman: "Don't worry, those young people have been sent to the nearest camp by me. According to the shooting plan, they will have at least a month of training. "

"Within a month, even if he is a weak chicken, I can turn him into a qualified soldier, of course, just on the screen."

"Then I'm relieved. I hope we get along happily!"
