Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Jack Valenti once again came to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. For the market here, Hollywood's main idea now is not to make money, but to cultivate the market.

As long as they import ten Hollywood movies that are in agreement every year, they will cultivate a group of young people who like to watch movies. When the economic development here is effective, Hollywood will have another big market.

"Good job, Ronald. At the meeting, you gave a high evaluation of the long-arc halogen lamps made here, and said that Hollywood and the film industry here are learning from each other. The leaders laughed and were very happy. The treatment we received this year is much better than before.

They have limited foreign exchange, but this year they will no longer import those old movies, and start to pay attention to new movies released two or three years ago. We have made great progress this time."

"You are right, Mr. Valenti. I think they are really a nation suitable for film art. You can see that they will let actors dub the imported Hollywood movies, and they pay great attention to details, even the lip movements. and rhythm are as consistent as possible with the original text.

The voice actors of each character also strive to be consistent with the original actor's personality.

They are a delicate nation with deep cultural nourishment. They are completely different from those stupid people in the Suweil Alliance. Those Russians will only let one person translate everyone's lines simultaneously and record them as voice-overs simultaneously. "

"Haha, you are right. After continuing to participate in the activities arranged by the host tomorrow, you can go to Xujiahui to see your lighting factory."

Ronald accompanied Jack Valenti and talked with the other party's leaders here for several days, and finally achieved the effect that Valenti hoped to achieve.

Most of the time, Ronald was just a mascot to accompany the guests. Only when the artist representative needed to speak sometimes, he would say some flattering words, which played a very good effect.

The leader liked Ronald very much, and learned some of Ronald's background through the translator. After knowing that he was the descendant of an orphan, he praised Ronald as a model of self-struggle. But he also pointed out that if it were here, the government would definitely arrange the lives of the descendants of veterans, instead of letting the aunt work as a waiter to support them.

Ronald was most satisfied with eating a lot of authentic Chinese food. The chefs of the foreign-related hotels and restaurants where the leaders were invited were very skilled.

On the last day, Ronald followed the host's arrangement and went to visit the Palace Museum with Valenti and others. The leader had other things to do and did not accompany them. Ronald and his team came to the Palace Museum with an interpreter.

At the entrance of the Palace Museum, Ronald and Valenti were stopped by someone and told that ordinary tourists were not allowed to enter today because of a movie shooting. If they wanted to visit the Palace Museum, they had to wait until the movie shooting was completed.

The interpreter took out a letter of introduction with an official seal calmly, and the other party let them in after reading it.

"So you are guests from the bureau, you should have said so earlier." The other party began to move the wooden railings and let them in.

Ronald asked the interpreter and was told that during this period, Italian leftist director Bertolucci was using the real scene of the Palace Museum to shoot "The Last Emperor". Ronald couldn't help but think of Jeremy Thomas, whom he met in London, as if this independent producer was going to shoot the story of the last emperor.

It seems that he did a good job. Even the Forbidden City was lent to him for real scene shooting.

"Alas... You are not with them, you can't enter. Them? They have a letter of introduction from the bureau, do you have one? You are an actor? Where is your pass? You can't be let in without a pass. Have you seen Lenin's pass?"

Ronald had already entered the Forbidden City for a long time, and heard the guard and another foreigner quarreling. The man didn't seem to understand Chinese. The two of them were talking at cross purposes and were very anxious.

Ronald signaled the translator to help and find out the situation.

"He said he was from the British Cinema, Peter O'Toole, an actor in the crew, take a look. He doesn't seem to be lying." The translator chatted with the foreigner for a few words and said to the guard.

"Hey, how can we understand this? Foreigners' names are too complicated and we can't remember them." The guard disagreed, "Besides, how can a foreigner ride a 28-bar bike? I think he is probably a tourist who wants to sneak in."

"I am really an actor. Have you seen Lawrence of Arabia? I have a movie to shoot today."

"No means no, not to mention you. The Queen of Britain came some time ago and couldn't enter. We are filming right now. Who will be held responsible if it is delayed?"

Seeing that the translator was still delaying, Ronald took two steps forward.

The foreigner who was stopped outside saw that Ronald, who was wearing a leather jacket, was obviously a Westerner. He shielded his hand from the sun and looked at him, then called out, "Ronald, is that you? I am Peter. Talk to them. I have a scene to shoot today."

"Peter? Mr. O'Toole?" Ronald recognized the other party and quickly called Jack Valenti to come forward. Several people testified to the guard that this person was indeed a professional actor.

Peter O'Toole pushed his bicycle, "In this movie, there is a plot where the last emperor learns to ride a bicycle. In order to ride a bicycle, he sawed off all the thresholds of the Forbidden City."

The two talked about the old days of filming "Supergirl" at Songlin Studios, and walked in together.

Entering the Forbidden City, the square of the three main halls was very lively. Many extras sat on the ground to put on makeup, and there were thousands of them.

They all lined up in an orderly manner, and when it was their turn, they went forward to put on makeup and wigs.

"What a nation that obeys the rules. It would be great if Hollywood had such obedient extras." Ronald even joked with Peter O'Toole.

"It's really good. Their acting is also good. I talked to a supporting actor who played a beggar. He is an actor with decades of drama experience."

The morning sun was very bright. In a corner of the square in the Forbidden City, under a large camera jib, a director-like man wearing an old-fashioned top hat was reciting a scene with three Chinese actors.

"When the time comes, you will walk out from that position. At this time, the extras will salute you. Don't show any expression that you react to them. Then follow your two wives and walk out openly..."

"Is this the director Bertolucci?" Ronald asked in a low voice.

"It's him. Listen. He's about to switch to Italian." Peter O'Toole replied.

Sure enough, Bertolucci spoke English slowly and with a heavy accent. Seeing that several leading actors had difficulty understanding, he finally switched to Italian and had the translator convey it on their behalf.

Ronald stood still. He didn't particularly like Bertolucci's directorial method of making actors perform every action, expression, and detail according to his own prescribed actions.

This was equivalent to depriving actors of their space to play and treating them as puppets.

"I'll introduce it to you later." Peter O'Toole knew that once Bertolucci started to talk about the play, it was common for half an hour or an hour. He made movies very slowly, meticulously, and refused to compromise on any details.

Even the scenes of the death of Empress Dowager Cixi and the young emperor entering the palace were made by real lamas, because they could not be touched by women, and male makeup artists and costume designers were specially found to serve them.

"Forget it, I think Director Bertolucci is very busy, so we just look around." Ronald stopped O'Toole's idea. He didn't want to wait for an hour on the set to listen to these trivial things.

Valenti still had to wait here to talk to Bertolucci about the details of his cooperation in filming. Ronald left the translation to him and strolled around the Forbidden City Museum alone.

Because of the filming, many exhibition halls were not open. Ronald walked around for a long time and felt bored, so he ran out and found a taxi to visit the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace.

The driver saw that Ronald was a foreigner who could speak Chinese, and thought he was an international student, so he talked to him about the world situation and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which made Ronald fully understand the quality of the citizens of a great country. Even taxi drivers are proficient in international politics. Drivers in Washington, DC do not have this level.

"Ronald, where have you been?"

Ronald returned to the Jianguo Hotel in the evening, and Jack Valenti finally found him, "Your movie was favored by the leaders and was specially added to the list of imports next year."

"Ah? I shoot commercial films, will they also import them?" Ronald was very surprised. He shot movies that cater to American audiences. Why would they import them here? Shouldn't they find some movies with artistic standards? When the leaders held a meeting before, they also mentioned Oscar-winning movies. The artistic level of their Oscar-winning movies is quite recognized.

"Yes, they plan to introduce 'breakdancing' in several of your movies. Look, this is their list of Hollywood movies to be introduced. This is breakdancing."

Translated, showed Ronald a Chinese list, and pointed to the Chinese name of the last movie on the list, telling him that this was Ronald's movie.

Ronald was even more surprised. If they introduced other movies, it would be fine. Breakdancing is just a low-cost dance movie. Why would the other party like it? Could it be the promotion of the breakdancing demonstration at the closing ceremony of the Olympics?

"The film reflects the racial contradictions and the contradictions between the rich and the poor in America... It reflects the dilapidated slums in the big city of Los Angeles... It reflects the discrimination and unfair treatment of the lower-class blacks and the poor in America by the upper class. It is a movie that exposes the intensification of social contradictions in America and deeply reflects the social reality."

Ronald's eyes glanced at

"Puff..." Ronald almost couldn't help it. When I was shooting, I didn't think about these things. In fact, I just wanted to find a reason to let them dance.

"Will my movie also be dubbed?" Ronald remembered the dubbed version he saw in his dream.

The translator took a look at the document and said, "Yes, this film should be assigned to the dubbing studio in Xujiahui."

"Thank you, thank all the leaders for their concern. I really hope that my film can be seen by the people of your country." Ronald said to the translator.

"Maybe it's just because the price of the copy given by Cannon Pictures is relatively low, and the seven major studios don't want to sell the films of the past two years at such a low price." Jack Valenti told Ronald his speculation after the translator left.

"That's good, at least I can say that my film can be seen by people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean."

A day later, Jack Valenti and Ronald flew to Hongqiao again and went to the city to see the Hollywood director Spielberg filming the movie "Empire of the Sun" on the Bund.

The cooperation with the last emperor was very smooth with the concern of the leaders. And the Xujiahui studio is another place. As the president of the Film Association, he also has the obligation to check it out.

The barbed wire fence separating the concession and the Chinese area at the Waibaidu Bridge was also re-erected.

Ronald came to the Suzhou River with Jack Valenti in the morning and watched Spielberg from a distance, talking to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child actor in a red uniform.

"Chris, you have to start from here. The refugees behind you start to rush towards you. You didn't see them, so you showed a mixture of surprise and nervousness. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I didn't know what happened, so I was startled by the refugees rushing from behind." The kid was a bit thin, but he seemed to have a good understanding and was very spiritual.

Ronald was standing at the edge of a large circle of hemp rope on the filming location.

The residents here are very curious about a large group of foreigners filming. The hemp rope has three layers inside and three outside, and there are people in uniform guarding the hemp rope.

"Steven and Bertolucci both tell dramas, but their methods are very different." Ronald thought to himself. As a director myself, I rarely have the opportunity to observe other directors' crews live, but actors have many opportunities to see the methods of different directors.

Bertolucci stipulated all the details of the performance in detail, while Spielberg inspired the actors and told them more about the causes, consequences and atmosphere of the scene, allowing the actors to figure out what kind of performance they would like. method.

"Very good, that's it, remember this feeling." The kid Spielberg was very satisfied with his understanding and asked him to make a few facial expressions and then waved for the makeup artist to come over.

A hairstylist found a wig for the child to wear, and another makeup artist came up to paint dirt on the child's teeth.

Spielberg picked up the electric horn again and started shouting to the surrounding Chinese performers, "We are following the order given to you by the assistant director, and now we will go through it again."

An interpreter translated Spielberg's orders into Chinese. Ronald discovered that it was Xiao Yan, the son of Lao Yan, his partner in the lightning lamp factory.

Next to him, demonstrating the running route for the extras, was the female director he met last time, Assistant Director Huang.

It seems that the two people Ronald introduced to Spielberg were used very smoothly by him and are now working as assistants on the set.

"Hi, are you American or British?" an old man watching the excitement on the street asked Ronald in pure English.

Ronald saw that he could speak English and was a little kind. He gave him a Chinese cigarette brought from the Forbidden City and lit it for him with a match.

"We Americans." Ronald pointed at the actors dressed as Japanese officers in the extras and asked him, "Do you hate the little japs? Do you feel bad when they come here wearing military uniforms again?"

"Actually, I was twenty-four years old when the war started. The scene I saw that day was the same as now. Hey, they were a really bad group of people. But now they are making movies. I also often watched Hollywood movies back then. of."

Ronald chatted with the old man for a few words and did not bother Spielberg.

However, the translator Xiao Yan had sharp eyes and saw Ronald standing on the periphery of the crew. He immediately waved to himself, then turned back and whispered in Spielberg's ear.

"Hey, Ronald, Mr. Valenti." Spielberg, wearing a baseball cap that read "Empire of the Sun" on it, walked over a few steps and met Jack Valenti and Ronaldo who were brought into the shooting circle by Xiao Yan. Nader said hello with a hug.

"We are here to cheer you up, don't worry about us, don't disturb your work." Jack Valenti knew that the director was very busy on the set, so he asked Spielberg to go and film first.

"It doesn't matter, Ronald is also a good player and can help me just right."

"Of course, I can help you maintain order in the group performance." Ronald laughed.

There was a long wait for the official filming, and the little kid who played the main character, Jim, started running on the road to warm up. Moreover, he kept breathing heavily, squatting and standing up straight, deliberately making himself a little out of breath.

"Where did you find such an actor? He's a genius? Did he come up with the method himself?" Ronald was surprised. This kind of physical activity to simulate the panting caused by emotions is a very clever performance. Skill.

Ordinary viewers cannot tell whether you are tired from running or are nervous because you saw the Japanese soldiers.

"He learned it from old actors himself. It was John Malkovich who taught him." Spielberg laughed.

"You are really good at training child actors." Jack Valenti also lamented that among Hollywood directors who are good at training child actors, Spielberg is very good.

"No, I am just lucky and often pick the most talented children. Christian was selected by me out of more than 4,000 children. He happens to be of Welsh origin and has the same background as the protagonist."

"Hmm..." Ronald secretly noted that these are good ways for directors to deal with problems. Teaching children to act is an almost impossible task. Spielberg's advantage over other directors is that he can select the most suitable actors.

At this time, Assistant Director Huang came to talk to Spielberg again. Ronald only nodded to her and said hello, and Assistant Director Huang took Xiao Yan to report to Spielberg.

"These soldiers who play soldiers don't understand how to perform after being shot. The way we perform here is different from that in Hollywood."

It turns out that except for a few Japanese actors, the rest of the group performances were performed by soldiers from the army. They didn't know how to perform, but they followed the director's instructions and imitated them very well.

"Ha, our Hollywood actors really die differently from actors in other places. Let me demonstrate. Only Hollywood actors die like this."

Spielberg covered his chest with his hands, then shook left and right, and struggled for two seconds before falling to the ground.

"He still wanted to live, so even though he was shot and injured on the ground, he still tried hard to crawl out of the street and crawl to the side to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army." Spielberg was on the ground again, using one hand and one foot to crawl.

"Do you understand? Try it, let Huang see."

Spielberg was busy again, and Ronald hid behind the monitor behind the camera to avoid interfering with the work.

"Attention, all departments, a!" Spielberg was busy for more than half an hour, and finally sorted out all the departments, and then ordered to start shooting.

"Start shooting! Start shooting! Start shooting!" Assistant Director Huang's electric speaker was louder than Spielberg's. She repeated Spielberg's order in Chinese, and most people at the scene could only understand her Chinese order.

The young actor named Christian approached from the far side of the road. The Japanese soldiers behind him were speeding up and bumped into the young actor. He made a frightened expression and then rushed to the roadside.

"Cut!" After Spielberg called a halt, he also walked to the monitor. The new director's monitor was connected to a video recorder, which could record the scene on tape and then play it for the director.

"Very good, let's move on to the next shot." Spielberg was very satisfied. Xiao Yan translated his order and passed it out, and everyone applauded.

The shooting lasted until sunset in the afternoon, and the scheduled shooting time was over. The peak time of getting off work began to arrive. Many people were riding bicycles in a hurry to go home. The blocked intersection was about to be unblocked, and only the people who were watching the excitement were still gathered in a circle.

Ronald helped Spielberg to direct the group actors to finish work, and then began to dismantle the barbed wire fence to restore the smooth flow of traffic on the Waibaidu Bridge.

"Hey, what comics are you reading?" Spielberg was tired after shooting for a day, and he saw a child reading a comic book, so he happily chatted with her.

Ronald looked at the cover and saw a big black and white cat wearing a police uniform.

"Captain Black Cat, Captabckcat," Xiao Yan came over to explain to Spielberg.

"Captain Black Cat, is he a superhero? Huh?"

Spielberg likes children very much. He has been separated from his son for more than a month in order to make this movie, and he looks very loving when he sees children.

"Hmm," the child was a little shy to chat with foreigners, so he ran away.

Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

In the evening, Director Xu of Xujiahui Film Studio held a banquet to entertain his Hollywood colleagues. Because tomorrow is a rest day, the film will be transferred to Qingpu in the suburbs to continue filming, so Spielberg also went to the banquet with several actors, Ronald, Valenti and others.

The restaurant of the film studio set up several round tables to entertain the crew of "Empire of the Sun". Director Xu is well-informed and knows Spielberg's status in Hollywood.

This time he chose the adaptation of "Empire of the Sun", which tells the magical experience of Jim, a child, who was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the Japanese army after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Jim is a spoiled child who likes airplanes. On the eve of Pearl Harbor, he accidentally discovered that a Japanese Zero plane crashed in Xujiahui and learned that the Japanese army would attack the concession.

When he was separated from his parents and captured by the Japanese army, he raised his hands and surrendered to the Japanese army. After going through hardships in the concentration camp, the US military's P51 Mustang fighter attacked the concentration camp where foreign expatriates were detained.

Jim found the food dropped by the US military, surrendered to the US military, and finally reunited with his parents.

Director Xu understood that Spielberg shot this kind of epic background movie for the Oscar award. It just happened to form a competitive situation with "The Last Emperor" which was filmed in the Forbidden City. Both movies have the gimmick of being the first to enter the real-life shooting here. They are also epic movies and are adapted from best-selling personal autobiographies.

This competition is also related to the competition between the two film studios in the north and south, so Director Xu attaches great importance to it. He strives to ensure that everything is satisfactory to Spielberg.

"That is the best group performance I have ever seen. It is very outstanding. I always feel that your technical strength is not inferior to Hollywood." Spielberg is a smart person and began to praise Xujiahui.

"Hahaha, the leader of the department just called and said that Ronald also said so. There is still not much gap between us and the advanced level of the world in some aspects."

Ronald was chatting with his deskmate John Malkovich, who played an American businessman. Malkovich asked Ronald if he knew how to say crazy in Chinese.

"Uh... probably crazy?"

"You are wrong. I learned it from my Chinese teacher. It's called deep... well... ice..."

"Ah... puff..." Ronald laughed.

The few young actors next to him didn't know what was going on. They were just infected by Ronald's smile and laughed with him.

"What's your name? I think you acted very well."

"My name is Christian, Christian Bale." The slightly thin actor introduced himself to Ronald, "I like your Top Gun very much"

"I like it too. I like this kind of war movie the most." Another slightly fat little actor, not to be outdone, put on an old-timer and rushed to talk to Ronald.

"I like that you like my movie. What's your name?" Ronald also felt very interesting with this group of child actors.

"Call me Ben, Ben Stiller." The fat boy looked proud, "Let me tell you, actors are actually a little narcissistic. Many actors in our crew who play soldiers are very proud after the previous training. Their egos have become very big, as if they are really veterans who have been on the battlefield.

I want to be a director like you in the future, and I want to direct a movie that satirizes these self-righteous actors."

"Oh, very interesting, I'm waiting to see it."

At this time, Spielberg finished chatting with Director Xu and returned to his seat at the table.

"Director Spielberg, please try this steamed dumpling. It is made by the chef we borrowed from Green Wave Gallery. The Queen of Britain also tasted it there when she came." Xiao Yan enthusiastically introduced the new dish to Spielberg.

"Ha, this is the bad thing about me filming here. I don't know what I ate, but now I have a mouth ulcer, which has not healed for a long time. It hurts when I eat."

Spielberg, who was more casual in front of Ronald, began to complain about the difficult conditions. The main reason was that he was not used to eating Chinese food.

"Director Huang, Xiaoyan, go ask if there is any tortoise jelly, and bring a few servings for Director Spielberg, he has a little... that..." Ronald covered his mouth and gestured to them.

"Getting angry?"

"Ah, yes, getting angry."

"I'll ask the kitchen chef to bring a few servings." Xiaoyan went to make arrangements.

"Director Luo, I'm also filming a movie now." Deputy Director Huang smiled and reported the good news to Ronald.

"Oh, congratulations, what kind of movie is it?"

"It's a female movie. I watched some of the videotapes you sent me. Many Hollywood movies are very interesting. I like Cameron's "Terminator". The power of women there inspired me, so I made a movie that reflects opera actors. There is a kind of opera here where female actors play male roles. I think it's very interesting."

"Okay, do you have a copy? I really want to see your work."

At this time, Xiao Yan brought a waiter and brought several bowls of black jelly-like desserts. To Spielberg's table.

"Steven, try this, it's good for your mouth ulcer."

Spielberg tried it with a spoon and found that it was cool when he ate it. It seemed that the ulcer felt better. He quickly gave a thumbs up, "It seems to have some effect. What is it called?"

"Turtle jelly, give the director another bowl."

...

At night, Ronald sent Spielberg back to Huating Hotel to rest. He came out to find Deputy Director Huang and Xiao Yan, and went to the small screening room of the film studio to watch Director Huang's work.

After the studio logo, a title written in brush, "Human Ghost Love" appeared on the screen, and then three bowls of white, black and red paint were placed on the table. A heroic actress sat in front of the mirror and painted herself with three kinds of paint.

"What is this?" Ronald felt that this art form was a bit familiar.

"This is called Hualian. This opera actress plays Zhong Kui in the myth and legend, who specializes in catching ghosts. She plays Zhong Kui marrying his sister, but because of her career, she did not marry."

Ronald was very interested in watching it. The story of the whole movie was not smooth, but the various techniques and metaphors were obviously influenced by Hollywood.

"I saw a very good female movie, which started from a female perspective and performed a female story." After the screening, Ronald congratulated Director Huang.

"Is the one who plays Zhong Kui really the heroine? Those opera performances seem to require a long time of training to achieve." Ronald felt that those movements were more advanced than the actors in the dance movie he had just finished shooting.

"No, that was performed by a real opera actor, and it was also the prototype of this story."

Ronald congratulated Director Huang, saying that this kind of movie is also very rare in Hollywood.

"If there is a chance, it would be great if it could be shown in America."

"What movie is it, showing in America?"

A middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses approached from behind and asked Director Huang.

"Ah, Director Xie, why are you here?"

"I came to see your debut work, if you have any questions. You were also brought up by me."

"I haven't introduced you yet, this is my teacher, Director Xie. This is Director Luo from Hollywood."

"Hello, Director Xie." Ronald shook hands with the middle-aged director.

"Are you the one who sent the latest videotape to Xiao Huang? Thank you. We have to borrow copies from Hong Kong, and many of them are outdated."

"No, Xiao Yan, Director Huang and I are good friends who hit it off right away."

"Filmmaking is the most troublesome thing, and you have to be careful about everything. You gave her a lot of opportunities to learn from Hollywood directors.

I always say that filmmaking is like scooping water with your hands. If the gap between your fingers is a little bigger, it will leak. If you are a little sloppy here, it will leak a little there. By the time you serve it to the audience, the good stuff has already leaked out.

So I always let them learn more."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and talked about artistic creation. Deputy Director Huang interrupted, "My teacher is shooting a big work. Like "Empire of the Sun", the exterior scenes are all in Qingpu. Do you want to go and see it?"

...

"I heard that Director Xie is their best commercial film director. The box office is always the highest. The leading actors and actresses often win their Oscars, yes... called Golden Rooster Awards."

The next day, Ronald and Spielberg went to the Qingpu location together. He accompanied Spielberg to check the setting of the concentration camp, the runway, model airplanes and other facilities needed for filming.

Spielberg's team is the most professional in Hollywood, and he has no problem.

At this time, Ronald proposed to visit the filming of his colleagues at Xujiahui Film Studio.

Spielberg's ulcer was completely healed after taking Guilinggao, and he also became interested in the mysterious East. He went with Ronald to see Director Xie's location in Qingpu.

The exterior scenes of this crew were more magnificent than "Empire of the Sun". The whole thing replicated an old road in an ancient town. The bluestone slabs on it not only have an antique charm, but also have ancient splicing methods, and even the moss on it is well restored.

Ronald found the problem, and he squatted down to look at the material.

It seems to be no different from the real bluestone slabs. It has texture and is just the right degree of aging. Even the lightness and color of the moss can be truly restored in the camera.

"How did you do this?" Ronald didn't understand.

"I don't know, this is really magical, I have to ask, this technology is not available in Hollywood."

Two Hollywood directors ran to the scene and found Xiao Yan, and took them to Director Xie's residence to ask him who made the props for the bluestone road. They wanted to ask him carefully.

Ronald even had the idea of ​​poaching people. If the production technology of this prop could be introduced to Hollywood, he would have another small business. In the future, when shooting period dramas, his unique technology will definitely be the first choice.

"You asked me who made the props for the bluestone road?" Director Xie was talking about creation with the two protagonists, a man and a woman. Hearing Ronald's question.

"Yeah, we don't have this technology in Hollywood either." Ronald thought, Director Xie is indeed a man with no gaps between his fingers, and even the props are restored so well, it must be a good movie.

"Where do I have props? I moved them directly from a small town in western Hunan."

"Ah?" Ronald and Spielberg looked at each other, both with unbelievable eyes.

"Yes, I made a report and asked the local government to coordinate, and the bluestone slabs on the road in that town were numbered one by one, and then the whole package was moved here."

Director Xie adjusted his glasses, calm and calm, as if it was not a big deal.

Ronald and Spielberg were both stunned by this big deal. If it were in Hollywood, how much money would it cost.

The two had no idea of ​​continuing the conversation. Their systems were different, and there was no way to learn this kind of thing.

"Hey, Director Xie is amazing, and he stunned all the foreigners in Hollywood." The male protagonist gave the female protagonist a thumbs up and praised the director of his crew.

"Of course, if he's not awesome, who else can be awesome? But if you want to make money, you have to go abroad. Look at that Xiao Chen. This time she came back to the Forbidden City to film. She speaks and dresses in a foreign way, and asks others to call her by her English name, Joan. When do you think we can make money like this?" the heroine replied.

Ronald and Spielberg slowly walked back to the location along the path. Stepping on the bluestone road again, the two looked at each other without saying a word. They also wanted to make this kind of movie.

"Ronald, you say, their system is really good." Spielberg squatted down and touched the bluestone carefully, a little unwillingly said.

"Yes, making movies like this, regardless of cost, how can it be bad?" Ronald also squatted down and touched the bluestone with his right hand. The real thing is still better than the fake props.

"Their system is really good. The support is really strong. When I was shooting Top Gun, the air-to-air missile, the navy only let me fire two rounds."

"Ah..." The two stood up and sighed with envy.
