Producer [American Entertainment]

Chapter 127 The 127th day of coming to Earth: A joke many years ago has come true.

.

Margaret, who also grew up in a single-parent family, seemed tailor-made to play Maggie's grandmother.The firm heart under the weak appearance is well grasped.

In Aunt Elizabeth's original words: "Margaret doesn't need to be Maggie's mother, she just needs to be herself in front of the camera, that's Maggie's mother."

Sometimes performance without acting skills is the most natural performance.

The girl's delicacy, precocious personality, and good appearance all make Maggie's grandmother, who lives in words and memories, really come alive.

Margaret herself also expressed a strong interest in participating in the film. Almost as soon as one side said it, she immediately agreed, and they hit it off.

Accompanying Margaret in the yard is Hepburn, who will play Margaret's mother in the movie.Since the two got off the plane, they have been taking every time to get acquainted with each other, and now it seems to be quite effective.Hepburn has a gentle personality, and Margaret is also easy to talk to. As they both intend to intensify their intimacy, the relationship is naturally changing by leaps and bounds.

After everyone was ready to be in place, the crew officially turned on the board.

The filming process of the crew is planned every day, with a schedule written in advance, and the assistant director will be on-site and will monitor the progress throughout the process.

However, this does not mean that the director has no right to change the shooting plan willfully. In fact, many famous directors have the problem of disrupting the shooting plan. This is the reason why the on-site producer and assistant director are so busy.However, when the producers and investors are around, directors still don't dare to act so "regarding money like dung", after all, the money is not the director's money.

But the relationship between MiG and William was unusual. He never thought that there was anything wrong with improvising in front of William. He even had to shoot while William was still there.

Because William was needed in this scene.

"...Me?" William was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't prepared anything, neither costume nor make-up.

"No, it's fine in your current outfit." Miguel shrugged and said that it was impossible for the crew to prepare such an expensive outfit for William, "I don't shoot your front face, it's just the background, so no makeup is needed .”

"Don't you think it's against harmony?" William is wearing the latest spring of the Brioni haute couture series. It appeared in a World War II movie. No matter how you think about it, it feels timeless.

"What we want is this sense of time travel."

When the filming officially started, William understood the meaning of MiG and the source of inspiration. He stood in the room and watched Marguerite swinging outside the window. There were no lines or actions, only a straight and mysterious background .In the yard, Hepburn was not far away, watching Margaret tenderly and indulgently, as if it was the only treasure in her entire world.

The scene at that moment is extremely quiet, there is only one window, and there are two generations of people who are equally quiet inside and outside the window.

Outside the window is Maggie's grandmother, who lived in the 30s before World War II, and inside the window is William, who lives in the 80s with brilliant blonde hair and recalls the past.

This is a set of shots, taken from several angles.

There are long shots from behind William, and orbital shots across the courtyard.There's also a close up shot of Margaret laughing as she leaps off a swing, seemingly literally flying.She ran over, hugged her "mother" and said: "I just had a dream, a very short dream. I dreamed of a very beautiful young man standing in the window and looking at me."

"You like him?" Hepburn asked softly, her voice full of doting.

"Yes, I like him." Margaret's eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden, filled with the brightness of stars, she held her chest and said, "When I think of him, I feel very warm here. "

"Because you want to marry him?" Hepburn joked.

Margaret shook her head: "No, it's not love, it's family affection. I think maybe he is my son or grandson. I will definitely work hard to have such a beautiful child! His hair looks like The sun, whose eyes are like the sea..."

"Oh, you're talking stupid again, Maggie."

The next-door neighbor, the Jewish businessman "Carl" who came from the small path, was standing in front of the white fence in the yard at this time, making fun of Maggie like a big brother next door.

"Ka—" MiG's voice came from the loudspeaker.

After the filming was over, everyone had a short break.MiG looked back at the shot just taken, and said to William while watching, "Do you like it? This is a gift for you."

William nodded and said truthfully, "I like it."

Maybe this thing really happened. In the 30s when there was no mother Mary and no William, Maggie’s grandmother, who was full of wild ideas and whimsical ideas, really told her mother that she saw her Grandson, he stood in the living room in the 80s, recalling everything about her life.

Although they haven't seen each other for a day, William has a premonition, his heart tells him that if Maggie is still alive, she must love him very much, and he will love her very much.

"You always make it all so beautiful."

"Because in my eyes, they are beautiful." Family love has no color, but MiG firmly believes that he can capture its warm colors.

The author has something to say:

Yesterday I saw someone ask my cousin a confession question. The article explained before that because the unexpected arrival of the little cousin disrupted the plan, William himself did not attend the premiere of "Back to the Future".So my cousin decided to wait until later.

It’s not that the author forgot... _(:з」∠)_How could I forget such an important plot, and it’s not just some random foreshadowing.

PS: John mentioned in this chapter.Director Hughes is the director of "Home Alone" in the future.And, "The Breakfast Club" is one of the iconic American youth movies in the 80s, which influenced the tributes of many later movies, such as "Teddy Bear 2" some time ago.

Director Cameron and "Terminator" need no introduction, right?With the cousin hanging, William Goldfinger is really big.

Chapter 130 The 130th day of coming to Earth: Gold flows in the blood of the Jews.

Due to MiG's sudden addition, William had to delay an extra day in Berlin.

After the filming was finally finished, William flew to San Francisco non-stop.Sabatino has been waiting in Silicon Valley for a long time with Luciferd, who is a few months old.

Lucifer was a little unhappy. Theoretically speaking, a baby of this age would not be able to retain any memories, but Lucifer seemed to be a little different. At least he remembered the next day that William had agreed to before going to Berlin. Just back, will fly from New York to San Francisco with the brothers, but William missed the appointment.

It is said that when Sabatino was holding Luciferd on the plane, this little guy, who had been weak and quiet since birth due to premature birth, cried loudly for the first time and became extremely noisy. No one can persuade him alone.

"No matter how coaxed you are." Aunt Elizabeth naturally came to San Francisco with her two sons, and she was describing Luciferd's "bravery" to William yesterday, "As if we were afraid that we would forget you, let's go He cried, kicked and screamed when he got close to the plane, and finally he got tired and fell asleep, and we got on the plane."

At this moment, William was hugging his little cousin who was stuck on his body and couldn't be pulled off, feeling a little at a loss.It's not how strong Lucifer's hand is holding him, it's that Lucifer cries desperately when he pulls Lucifer, the heart-piercing kind, which makes people feel distressed.

The only person who doesn't feel sorry for his son is his own mother.Elizabeth.

"You don't care, tear it off when you're tired." Aunt Elizabeth has always followed the Spartan-style iron-blooded education for her two sons. "Others spoil him, but I don't. He I should have known a truth since I was a child, crying can't solve any problems. Either use your own strength to fight, or shut up, the world is so cruel."

Old Bernstein taught Elizabeth to grow up in the same way, and it worked.

——For people in the Bernstein family, family members have no gender distinction at all, and it is the same for boys and girls.

It can even be said that in the eyes of old Bernstein and others, there is no difference between adults and children at all, because this world will never be "you are justified if you are weak".

"Too hard is easy to break." William advised his Aunt Liz in this way.Since Elizabeth's pregnancy, William has been deeply influenced by oriental culture.

"So we have you, angel." Aunt Elizabeth smiled nonchalantly, got up and gave William a loud kiss on the forehead, and then took her little son in her arms without being disturbed by the road at all. Sivid's sudden crying affected the action.Her voice was still so gentle when she spoke to William, "Hey, I'm with Vader, go play the game."

William looked at his little cousin who was wailing, and then at Aunt Liz who was unquestionable. He was still hesitating, but was dragged away by Sabatino.

"..." Is the one crying desperately your real son and younger brother? !

Sabatino was unmoved, and only pulled William back into the room before saying to him: "That kid is crazy, he will stop if he doesn't see you, if you don't believe me, you can count down to three seconds."

3,

2,

1!

Sure enough, after Luciferd realized that no matter how much he cried, William would not come back, he immediately stopped crying (Lucivider said that crying is also a laborious task, and he is not in vain).If it weren't for the teardrops on the fleshy apple's face, people really couldn't help thinking that the noisy place just now was entirely their own illusion.

Sabatino seemed to be used to this, well, to be precise, it was a little tasteful, he put his arms around William, and expressed disapproval: "You shouldn't be so used to him."

"But he's crying..." William was reluctant.

"I also cried when I was a child, but my mother would only hold me when I was not crying. It was also a kind of training. After a while, Vader would realize that only children who do not cry are rewarded."

"But only children who can cry can eat sweets." At least William heard what Wendy said.

Sabatino, who had never tried acting like a baby in two lifetimes, suddenly learned a skill without a teacher at that moment.While kissing the tip of William's ear, he said in an unbelievably gentle voice, "I miss you very much."

"But I've only been gone for a few days."

"Not this time, every time you leave, I miss you very much. Do you miss me?"

While thinking, human beings are really troublesome short-lived people, and nodded slightly, his ears were as red as blood jade.He was actually infected by this short-lived race!

The purpose of Sabatino and his team's visit to San Francisco this time is simple and important-to accompany Sabatino to participate in the first rehearsal of the torch relay in San Francisco in Silicon Valley.

In 1984, Los Angeles hosted the Olympic Games for the second time.

Since the arrival of the Olympic torch in New York on May 5, the 7-day torch relay has begun across 83 states and 33 cities across the United States.As San Francisco is a major city on the west coast, the torch arrives later, but there must be rehearsals in advance, many times.

William was also invited to participate in the torch relay, responsible for a section of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

Because of this run, William also paid an unprecedented "torch relay fee" since the start of the Olympic Games (runners in the United States are required to pay $1 per mile), just like all torchbearers.

This wonderful fee system made Peter, the chairman of the preparatory committee for the Los Angeles Olympics.Uber Ross has been criticized, but it also made the Olympic tradition of "losing a lot of money because of hosting the Olympics" finally broken, making the Olympics from a flashy event that countries are prohibitive in the face of huge costs. Become a competition to host profitable projects.

Of course, it’s not that charging a little torch relay fee can offset a lot of expenses for the Los Angeles Olympics, but that from such a measure, you can see how much money the chairman of the organizing committee can make.

Although there are many opposition voices against the commercialization of the Olympic Games in the world today, even Athens, the origin of the Olympic Games, directly refused to pass the torch in the territory.

But... I have to say that it is this kind of commercialization that brought the Olympic Games back to life.

Do you know how Los Angeles easily got the right to host the Olympic Games in 84? — It has no competitors.

Yes, when bidding to host the Olympic Games in 78, only Los Angeles of the United States and Tehran of Iran submitted applications. As a result, Tehran directly withdrew from the competition halfway through. Los Angeles became the only bidder city for the 84 Olympic Games, with a 100% success rate , no surprises at all.

What's even more embarrassing is that the state government in Los Angeles doesn't really want to host the Olympics.After the successful bid for the Olympic Games, the Los Angeles state government directly and forcefully introduced a new law that prohibits the use of public funds from the state government to host the Olympic Games.

It is conceivable that before this, hosting the Olympic Games was a waste of money, and the Los Angeles state government would inevitably go bankrupt, so it could only make such a bad move regardless of face.

After many negotiations with the Los Angeles State Government, the International Olympic Committee could only make concessions, handing over the hosting of the Olympic Games to private companies for the first time.Because if they don't step back, this Olympic Games can only fall into the embarrassing situation of having to stop because no city is willing to organize the Olympic Games.

Such a compromise made the Los Angeles Olympics in 84 feel like a capitalist.

When Sabatino listened to William explaining Wendy's doubts, he no longer touched his nose spontaneously.

Naturally, William couldn't miss his cousin's rare "disrespect". He squinted his eyes and looked at Sabatino carefully: "Don't tell me, you also have a hand in hosting the Olympic Games."

"It was Microsoft's branch in Los Angeles who stepped in." As Microsoft, a technology giant accused of monopoly in the international market every year, how could the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, which is a private enterprise, let go of such a big benefactor?When William first arrived in Los Angeles in late 78 and early 79, the reason why Sabatino was able to accompany him in Los Angeles for such a long time was actually because Sabatino wanted to prepare and organize the Los Angeles Olympics.

"And you never planned to tell William this?" Wendy raised her eyebrows, for the sake of William's reasonable rights in dating, she still has the courage to tear up the big boss Sabatino.

"Microsoft has a lot of investments, and I can't tell Will everything." Sabatino gave Wendy a warning look, and then flattered William, "Of course, if you're interested, I'll tell you everything. .”

William nodded thoughtfully, and Sabatino and his partner Gates (Gates ran the Washington section, which has already been finished) were willing to show their faces and run the torch relay, and finally had a team that was better than "Microsoft pays great attention to sports and health." "A more reliable reason.William has never paid much attention to the size of Sabatino's business network, and he doesn't plan to pay attention now. He only cares about one point: "Then why do I have to pay? It costs $1 per mile!"

Sabatino shrugged: "I also paid, my dear, one yard for one yard. In terms of business, even if I use it myself, I have to pay. That's why we expect to earn 2 million from the Olympic Games dollars of net profit."

"2 million?!" Wendy's eyes widened from surprise, so big that they were about to pop out of her sockets.

A net profit of 2 million yuan is not a small amount, especially after comparing the previous Olympic Games with constant losses.Most importantly, according to the information released by the organizing committee - it is not easy for them to make a profit, and they will not make much at all.This is obviously crying poor!It's just too stinky!

Even William is a little jealous. You must know that his Arsenal club sells football tickets and team uniforms, and it may not be able to make such a profit in a year.If Arsenal can have a net profit of 2 million US dollars, how many big-name players can they buy!

Note that there is a big gap between profit and sales.

Sabatino shrugged: "Peter, oh, I mean Uber Ross, the chairman of the organizing committee, he took a lot of money, well, a lot of money. ABC paid 2.25 million for the TV rights alone. The price...the rest can be imagined."

Wendy has never felt more fortunate than this time. On Christmas Eve in 78, she hugged a big thigh correctly.

Sabatino is smarter than Uber Ross, the chairman of the preparatory committee. He made money without showing off, and would try his best to advertise for Microsoft during the Olympics, but the infamy of vampire capitalism in the Los Angeles Olympics, But it seems to have nothing to do with Sabatino himself.

It was still the same sentence that Wendy's black father said to his daughter - otherwise, William's family would become rich, because the blood of the Jews is all gold.

The author has something to say: The Los Angeles Olympics in 84 was really a very strange one. All kinds of money-making methods that ordinary people could think of or couldn't think of were all used together, and it was the first business to use the Olympics to make money.
