I’m in Hollywood

Eric returned to his seat, and two minutes later, filming began again.

This opponent scene lasted for more than three minutes. Of course, it was impossible to finish the filming in one go. Eric divided the three-minute scene into seven sub-shots with an average of less than 30 seconds. Strive for perfection, so the number of NGs is far more than other shots taken these days.

Cruise and Hanks also gradually seemed to realize something, and their performance requirements became more and more strict. In the end, it was obvious that they were competing. Sometimes when Eric felt that the effect was good, Crew Or Hanks will take the initiative to pick out the flaws in their performance just now, and then ask for a reshoot.

Eric is quite happy with this situation. The two superstars don't know when they will cooperate next time, and maybe they will never have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. Therefore, Eric also wanted to leave a perfect opposite scene in this movie.

Card……

After another NG, Eric looked at his watch. From the last scene to the present, only five of the three minutes and seven sub-shots have been completed in more than an hour, and the last two most important Andy's one-minute lobbying did not shoot.

But it was time to get off work. Looking at Cruise and Hanks, who were still sparkling, and Joe Pesci, who had been waiting for nearly an hour to play the chief inspector of the major crime team, Eric reminded: It's time to get off work. Yes, you two.

After Eric finished speaking, he looked at Cruise and Hanks expectantly. As an oriental, he had no distaste for overtime, and even took it for granted, and he also wanted to work an extra hour. All the scenes were shot, so I hope that the two of them will take the initiative to complete this scene in extra time.

But Eric found that he had seriously underestimated the paranoia of Europeans and Americans for the eight-hour work system. Hearing Eric say this, Cruise and Hanks, who were still eager to try it out, both directly played, stood up and shook hands with a smile. He glanced at his hand, and there was an emotion in his expression that he was facing an opponent. Then he said hello to Eric, and started to pack his things and plan to leave. From the beginning to the end, he had no plans to work overtime at all.

Eric complained for a while, and could only helplessly shrug his shoulders, announcing that the crew had stopped working.

After that, Eric took time out to walk to Joe Pesci's side: Sorry, Joe, I made you wait for an hour in vain.

Joe Pesci didn't mind shaking his head and said in his unique voice: It's nothing, Eric, I just watched the wonderful performance for an entire hour, and I'm a little worried that my performance will not be good. As expected.

You don't have to worry about this at all. I think it's Hanks who should be worried. I think he may be robbed by your character at any time. Your character's lines and action design are too happy.

That's true, but I haven't been in a comedy before, you know, I've been in Raging Bull and Once Upon a Time in America, and most recently, Rage to the Rescue, it's not a comedy.

Joe, I think you are more suitable for acting in comedy. Maybe after this movie, you will discover your talent for comedy. To be honest, you know Home Alone. When I made this movie, I thought of that age You are the most suitable person to play Harry, the older thief.

Joe Pesci's eyes widened slightly. He felt that Eric didn't deceive himself on this detail at all. It was Home Alone, and Home Alone, which is about to exceed 300 million US dollars at the box office.

That,

Then why... Joe Pesci made a meaningless gesture, of course he understood what it meant to miss Home Alone.

Eric understood the meaning of the other party, and helplessly explained: Because I couldn't afford you at the time, the budget for Home Alone was too small.

Perhaps...you can try to invite me first.

You know it's impossible. If I wanted you to offer $20,000 to the actor who plays Harry in the movie now, you would refuse without even thinking about it.

Joe Pesci understands that this is indeed the case. Although he is not a very famous actor, he has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor after all. Unless he can predict, he will definitely not accept the $20,000 salary. Shaking his head, Joe Pesci said, This... it's really a pity.

Okay, let's not talk about this, now we have a chance to cooperate.

This is really... Eric, you mention this now to make me sleepy tonight. I missed such a good opportunity.

Everyone actually misses thousands of opportunities in their life, so it's nothing. Go back to wash your face, brush your teeth and take a bath. It's really impossible to drink two sips of wine and forget it after a sleep. Photo by Eric He patted Pesci Bridge on the shoulder and comforted him.

How can I forget, Joe Pesci rolled his eyes at Eric, then shook his head: Forget it, I'll go back first, this is really...

Seeing Joe Pesci leave in a disappointed face, Eric began to regret telling the other party the news. He originally just wanted to use this trivial matter to get close to Joe Pesci.

I hope Joe Pesci won't turn into Mrs. Xianglin in the next period of time, repeating I actually missed Home Alone or something.

After everything was arranged, Eric really planned to leave, but he saw Martin Brest, the director of Scent of a Woman at the entrance of the studio. The assistant behind the other party was holding a thick stack of document bags.

Eric knew what was inside at a glance. After greeting, Eric asked: Martin, didn't you say that the list of candidates can be determined the day after tomorrow? Why so fast?

Sorry, Eric, the original plan was indeed the day after tomorrow, but due to various reasons, the screening was completed two days in advance. Al also wants to start the machine as soon as possible, so I can only wait for you here.

Why didn't Al come? Eric asked curiously.

Martin explained: Al has begun to figure out the role. He is adapting to the living habits of blind people these days, and he specially told me not to disturb him.

Eric nodded in understanding, thought for a while, and pointed to a Passat parked not far from Martin: Is that your car?

Martin nodded.

Then let's talk in the car. I happen to be going to Malibu. Is it convenient for me to go there?

No problem at all.

Several people got into the car, Eric said the address, and Martin's assistant started the car.

In the back seat, Eric first opened the shortlist for one of the most important protagonists, middle school student Charlie Simmons.

Martin explained: Eric, these are excellent young people who have passed two rounds of auditions. Because there are many middle school students, there are a total of 30 candidates, and you have selected Charlie Simon. After we've played Charlie, we can pick a list of Charlie's classmates directly from the remaining roster.

Well, Eric took the thick stack of documents out of the document bag, and asked again casually, By the way, how about the Miss Gabriel Anwar I introduced to you?

Martin felt that the petite girl might have something to do with Eric, so he explained in detail: After her role was confirmed, the girl went back to the UK a few days ago, but she came back soon, and currently lives in Wei In a hotel on Ershe Avenue, by the way, she also visited you when you accidentally passed out that day. Eric, do you need the address of her hotel?

No need, Eric just asked casually, scanning the list. Thirty candidate lists were arranged in alphabetical order by the actor's surname, so Eric saw two juxtapositions directly on the D prefix. Hollywood star names.
