Producer [American Entertainment]

Since ET is a sci-fi movie, the pre-production focus is not only on the script and the script breakdown table, but also on the most important "high-tech" movie props.

In fact, for William, such "high technology" is not even as good as the low-level toys produced by the Cosmos Alliance, but it is already an incredible pioneering work on earth.

As we all know, the production of "high-tech" props is expensive, especially in the case of William and Spielberg, who are the kind of characters who strive for perfection in the film.On the premise that they had already spent 70 yuan, they invited the stylist Ed.An active ET prototype carefully designed by Voroux was completely rejected.This work was carried out while revising the script. It took countless people's efforts for a whole month...

"Sorry, this is not the ET I wanted."

In an Italian coffee shop opposite Vorox Design Studio, Spielberg said to William anxiously after he had made enough mental preparations.

Spielberg and William came together today to see the final product of Voroux's painstaking design, but it was not satisfactory enough for Spielberg to accept.He didn't know how to talk to William about this, because even if it was abandoned, the cost could only be borne by the ET crew, which was 70.

He heard that William used 30 to make a horror movie that earned tens of millions of box office.Therefore, he felt that it must be difficult for William to accept such waste.

But no matter how hard it is to accept, Spielberg decided to speak up, and this ET must never appear in his movie.

William also breathed a sigh of relief: "God, do you think so too? Great, I didn't know how to tell you before, this ET is really bad, even if the shooting is postponed, I don't want to use it, it It will scare even adults!"

William had been silent before, and he was embarrassed to speak, because Voroks was recommended by Spielberg, and he was afraid that he would be too blunt and sweep the famous director's face.

Spielberg blinked his eyes in disbelief, never expecting things to develop like this.

"You don't mind at all?"

"Mind what?"

"$70." Spielberg said as quietly as possible, trying to make $70 sound less scary.

"So?" William still didn't get what Spielberg meant.

"You don't feel bad at all?"

"Oh, this one. If spending 70 yuan can create a better effect, I don't know what I should feel sorry for. It's better than trying to use it, and the movie fails, right?" William is not the kind of loser The person who bought the watermelon and picked the sesame seeds.

"...This point of view is really novel."

"Steven, my friend, I'm an enlightened young man, not Grandet." William and Spielberg had already started calling each other by their Christian names.

"Sometimes I really almost forget that you're only in your early twenties."

"Okay, it's such a happy decision. Let's go back and think about it separately. We think where the failure points of this model are, and we will make a list and synthesize them tomorrow, and then find a new designer according to the corresponding desired points. , OK?"

"OK."

I was going to set aside an afternoon of trial time for the new model, so it was free.

After bidding farewell to Spielberg, who dared to go home to accompany his wife and son, William began to sit idly in the coffee shop, resting his chin on one hand, thinking about what he should do next.

Go home and tease the cat?Or go to the company for a surprise attack?

At this moment of dilemma, William saw Sabatino and a very handsome and tall Asian man who was about to leave the coffee shop.

"!!!" Fuck!Didn't Sabatino say to go to District 11?What the hell is this? !In a coffee shop, there are lonely men and widowed men, no matter how you look at the atmosphere, it looks like you are on a date!When William and Spielberg came in just now, it was probably blocked by the cubicles and green plants, which did not allow him to find Sabatino in time.

Logically speaking, William shouldn't step forward to disturb him at this time.

But, uh, if William has already rushed forward, he can't pretend he doesn't exist, can he?William didn't know why he couldn't control his earth body, probably because his body was broken.

Body: ...So the blame is on me?

August 1981, 08, a day William will never forget.With a cold face and a very aggressive tone, he appeared in front of Sabatino and Joseph who had not had time to say goodbye.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?"

No matter how you hear this, it sounds like the opening remark that the main house wants to tear up the mistress!What a shame!What a shame!What a shame! X infinite loop a hundred times ah a hundred times.

"Will? Why are you here?" Sabatino looked surprised.

These words seem to be a scumbag who was found out by his wife that he had cheated.

"Who is he?" Joseph was also taken aback.

These words are especially like the unlucky mistress who was cheated by the scumbag and the mistress!

Well, cough, the truth is actually... "This is the person in charge of Shueisha, the manga publishing company that I cooperated with in the 11th district. Joseph Lee, who is a mixed race of Chinese and American plus the 11th district, will probably be a permanent resident in the future." Los Angeles. Moving the headquarters of Shueisha from the 11th district to the United States is my birthday present for you next year, do you like it?"

"..." You don't know what to say about your problem of giving the company a birthday present.

"It's still a long way from my birthday."

"I know. But the company can't be built in a day, can it? I'm planning to broadcast an anime in District 11 called "Mobile Suit Gundam" on a local station in Los Angeles that I bought recently. The animation has a very good response in District 11 and China, and it was broadcast in 79."

Sabatino had a very beautiful idea. He planned to let William accidentally discover this anime on the TV station, and then pretended to ask him casually, do you like it?

William will definitely answer: "Yes."

Sabatino didn't care about it, because William had liked it in his previous life.He said that he only liked "Tom and Jerry" before he was ten years old. His cousin really didn't mean what he said. He obviously liked the things drawn on these pieces of paper to coax children when he grew up.

Then, in the plan, Sabatino can say indifferently, if he likes it, he will give it to you.How domineering!How crazy!How spoiled!

Now... all ruined.

"I like it very much." Even if the plan fails to be implemented successfully, just hearing what Sabatino has done behind his back is enough for William to be happy.No matter how rich you are, no one will waste it so casually. Although it is very vulgar to use the price to measure a person's feelings for himself, this is also the standard for seeing a person's thoughts, isn't it?He's willing to spend all his money on you.

Of course, William is also willing to spend all his money on Sabatino.

Joseph had already exited the scene very discerningly when the two brothers' various grotesques started.

"Are you free this afternoon?" William once again had a whim.

"at any time."

"Bring the phone." William asked for Sabatino's phone, and then turned off his own. "This time, no one can disturb our vacation, even if it's only for one afternoon."

Dating!Dating!Dating!Sabatino's internal translation goes like this.

"Let's go to the movies." Sabatino blurted out. Dating usually starts in a coffee shop. Now they can be regarded as drinking coffee in the same space, and the next step is the cinema.It's clichéd, but it's universally applicable.

"Okay." William didn't think too much about it, only thinking that watching a movie is indeed a good way to relax.

There is a reasonably clean movie theater nearby.

"I'm going to buy popcorn, you decide what to watch." Sabatino insisted on stuffing the wallet into William's hands, and he only took the change to buy popcorn and drinks.

William was queuing up to buy tickets, and there happened to be a new comedy movie on that day——"Laughing Out Loud", Audrey.Hepburn played in friendship.

When buying the tickets, William didn't think there was any problem. When he was waiting to enter the venue, seeing Sabatino coming over with popcorn and drinks, William felt awkward.Because the people around them who are doing similar things to them (the woman waits, the man runs to buy popcorn and bring it back) are basically couples after couples, even a couple of gay men.

Why do I suddenly feel a little hot on my cheeks, damn, this earth body is really broken, right?Is there a place where it can be repaired?Red ghost!

The author has something to say: *ET's change of look is a real thing, and a total of 150 million US dollars was invested in it, which is the total investment of about five or six blood red movies.

Chapter 81 No. 80 Days of Coming to Earth: The protagonist’s relationship has really made significant progress, and it’s the puppy who’s lying [Hey]

The movie "Laughing" is a very typical Hollywood romantic comedy adapted from the original work of the same name.The general content of the story is that three detectives are hired to investigate the evidence of the infidelity of two vase wives, and in the end they fall in love with the object of investigation, and the detective's wife and the two men who hired the detective come together by accident. .

To be honest, in William's opinion, this movie is nothing but Audrey, who is 51 years old and has a cameo appearance.Hepburn is still beautiful and moving, the other parts are not bright.Whether it is the storyline or the shooting technique, it is a routine mode that can be expected from the beginning to the end.William, who started to have such things as "occupational diseases", even thought about it idly, if he was replaced as a producer, what would he suggest to the director and actors.

There was constant laughter in the theater, but unfortunately, Cousin Bernstein, who has no sense of humor, kept the same "==" face the whole time.

The eyes are all dead, ruling all kinds of romantic atmosphere.

William was very pleased to find that his earth body, under the buffer cooling of the movie, finally had a tendency to gradually return to normal.As long as he was careful not to accidentally bump into his cousin's fingers when he was handling the popcorn, there would be no problem.

That's great! ~(≧▽≦)/~

A 115-minute movie is as long as 115 years.When the lights came back on and the ending credits played, William and Sabatino, seated in red ottomans, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, then turned to - finally realizing that the other had no interest in either - cousins Said: "Let's not do this in the future."

"I agree." X2.

This kind of movie that only little girls (and a few men with Edwardian sensitive hearts) can appreciate is really not for William and Sabatino.They all thought at the same time, how many documents can they read in the office in almost two hours!What a waste!shameful!

"Next, uh, do you have any ideas?" William asked Sabatino.

"I heard men and women sitting in the back. They just said that they want to go to the amusement park after watching the movie. Are you interested?" Sabatino opened his eyes and started talking nonsense. Neither men nor women know.

"...They are lovers, so that should be something only lovers do?" William actually didn't know who was sitting behind them.

Sabatino looked serious: "Brothers can do it too."

"Well, I admit that I didn't tell the truth. It has nothing to do with who we are. I just haven't been interested in amusement parks since I was a child." In William's view, going to an amusement park is a waste of time compared to watching the movie just now matter.The reason is very simple, let an alien who can fly by himself, play most of the "exciting" rides that sell gravity as a selling point, he will definitely not find it very interesting.Even if he loses his memory, William still remembers what a real fly is deep in his soul.

Edward's father and Mary's mother have tried countless times to take their son who can still wear navy shorts to the amusement park, but each time they are confused by William's indifferent expression.

Whether he is sitting on a merry-go-round or in a bumper car, William's expression is always the same.

At first, Edward's father and Mary's mother thought that William was afraid, and they didn't want to show it out of face, and kept encouraging their son to be bolder.But after failing countless times, they realized that their baby son was not only not afraid, but was born lacking the nerve called "fear", so he didn't appreciate the fun of the game at all.

"May I come down?" It was William.A good baby with dead eyes.What Theros must say every time he goes to the playground.

Oh, yes, there is another sentence: "Why is he/she crying?"

Mary's mother looked confused: "The little girl over there was scared to cry. As for your father... let's not recognize him, okay? It's too embarrassing."

"I didn't like it when I was a child." Sabatino nodded sympathetically. Fortunately, his parents won't force him to go to the amusement park.

And then, Sabatino thought, that's probably why he liked William so much, they had a lot in common, like he really didn't know what to scream or laugh at in weightlessness.

"go home?"

"go home!"

So, they happily reached a tacit understanding.

Just when this pair of cousins, who are actually quite homely, got up and was about to go home, they simultaneously said "ah" to the couple in the front row who also just got up.The other party also... looked up at William and Sabatino with horror on his face.

"BOSS?" Mr. Special Assistant and his girlfriend Lily asked in surprise at the same time.

Ms. Lily is also an employee of Microsoft and works in the Human Resources Department of the Los Angeles branch. She officially established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Mr. Special Assistant on Valentine's Day this year.Due to work, this couple of lovebirds always get together less often and stay apart more often. Today, they finally ushered in another date after their formal relationship. In the end, they accidentally broke the "little secret" of their own boss who is very invisible. .

Mr. Special Assistant's heart almost collapsed at that moment. Boss, you fucking are really messing with incest?Good beast!

"Are you going to watch a movie too?" William was probably the one with the least psychological burden among the four (Sabatino said: I didn't either). He stepped forward with a natural expression and asked Mr. Special Assistant, "Why didn't you In the movie theater over there in Beverly, why did you choose such a remote place? This is not a good place for a date."

"..." Sabatino was hurt.

Mr. Special Assistant is also very injured. I can still meet you and you two in such a remote place. I will buy a lottery ticket when I go out in a while!

etc!its not right!The reason why I chose such a remote place was that I was afraid of bumping into William, or the few little followers around William, which would expose the surprise that Sabatino was planning to give William in District 11.What's going on with this one?

Boss, did you sell yourself first?Just to chase after my cousin?It's too beastly!

"Ha, I see, you have the same reason as Saba." William thought it through first.The reason why Sabatino and Joseph chose such a remote coffee shop to talk about things before is because Shueisha’s future head office is located here, where various art and design studios gather; Hide from William so he won't find out.

Mr. Special Assistant had an innocent expression of "I don't understand what you are talking about".

"Don't pretend, I found out." William said with a smile, "I caught Saba on the spot when he was talking to Joseph just now. It's a pity that the surprise is no more, buddy."

"..." Mr. Special Assistant's expression did not relax because of this.

Because Ms. Lily looked at Mr. Special Assistant's eyes unkindly, she and he will have a talk next time.

William, who accidentally seemed to have done something wrong, hastened to make amends: "Don't be angry that Mr. Special Assistant lied to you. This is Saba's decision. He wants to hide it from me..."

Sabatino had a serious look of "no". He only let Mr. Special Assistant hide it from William, but he didn't let him lie to his girlfriend for dating.

Mr. Special Assistant looked at Sabatino with despair in his eyes, you betrayed me like this?Without even a little hesitation?It's not as good as a beast!If I break up because of this, no ghost will let you go!

"It's okay, don't worry about it, Mr. Cyrus, it's not your fault," Ms. Lily tried hard to make her smile not so hideous and scary, and then she said to Sabatino, "Boss, I don't know that you and Cyrus Mr. Si is interested in eating seafood. The restaurant with a great view of the sea view, my boyfriend just made a reservation for tonight's seat a month ago, he has been looking forward to it, and I want to give it to you. "

"Uh, what about you and Mr. Special Assistant?" William, who was a little more talkative among the less talkative cousins, said.

"We decided to have something temporary and we have to go home. We probably won't be able to go to dinner in time." Lily's every word was like a sharp knife, cutting through the heart of Mr. Special Assistant.

The "decided" Mr. Special Assistant has a hard time.The seafood restaurant in the affluent area of ​​Malibu has only been open for a few months and is famous for its deck restaurant design hovering over the Southern California sea.It is said that it is extremely popular, and it is a must-go place for couples and Hollywood stars in summer. He was looking forward to it when he was in China, and it was hard to book a seat.

"Thank you." Sabatino, who cherishes words like gold, agreed immediately.

Sabatino did not forget to give Mr. Special Assistant an appreciative look of "Go back and give you a raise". The Mr. Special Assistant, who was a bit pity at first, immediately ignored the opportunity to make an appointment at all...

What a ghost!

The romantic date with your girlfriend designed by labor and management is ruined by you two brothers, gay bastards, can you still have fun together? !I will really report to Don, I really will!Don't think I dare not!

When Bernstein's cousins ​​were far away, I could still vaguely hear Ms. Lily gnashing her teeth and asking Mr. Special Assistant: "Didn't you say that you came here to have something new? I stole it from District 11 because I gave up my job. Sneak back or something, how dare you say it! Did you see the words written on the sofa in the living room? It welcomes you to sleep with it for a month!"

＿(:з)∠)＿Mr. Special Assistant is simply unlovable in his life, he will be punished for lying, but why is there no retribution for the BOSS who also lied? !It's not fair!

……

I have to say that Mr. Special Assistant really put his heart into preparing the romantic night.

Seats in the restaurant as close as possible to the sea, accompanied by the sound of waves beating against the reefs on the beach, admiring the magnificent colors rendered by the sea and sky at sunset...

...and the delicious tuna tartare, the signature dish of this seafood restaurant.

It was a worthwhile trip.

The most wonderful thing is that the seat reserved by Mr. Special Assistant is very hidden, so that he will not be disturbed by other Hollywood stars and reporters, and it is enough to enjoy the ultimate view: "It's a pity that Lily and Mr. Special Assistant are temporarily busy."

"Yes." Sabatino, who didn't feel sorry at all, echoed casually.

Under the quiet and smudged light, William's delicate face was cast with a layer of soft light, and a row of small fan-like eyelashes flickered slightly, making people's hearts itchy.

The atmosphere between the two that made William feel very strange before rose again.He lowered his head and pretended to be very interested in the patterns on the plate, but he was ossing wildly in his heart, my God, God, I must go to the hospital to check this earth body, how can its heartbeat be so fast?how come!This unscientific!

"Look, meteor shower! At this time, it should be the Perseid meteor shower."

This is not unpopular common sense, and anyone who knows a little bit about astronomy will know it.The Perseid meteor shower is one of the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere and is a common meteor shower in summer. It is very active and easy to be observed.Generally speaking, August 8 or 13 is the climax of this meteor shower.

Mr. Special Assistant may really try to buy a lottery ticket. It's not easy to miss so many good things.

William and Sabatino have a romance for nothing.Without any warning or preparation, I did all the necessary things for a date, Audrey.Hepburn's elegant movies, the most beautiful sea-view restaurant, and an unexpected meteor shower.

"Have you made a wish?" Sabatino was unconsciously brought into such an atmosphere. He really seemed to be helping him in his life.

William nodded: "I wish you could tell me who your boyfriend is as soon as possible. I really can't bear it anymore, Saba, this question is driving me crazy! I know I shouldn't be so curious, you When you want to tell me, I know it naturally, and you must have your own reasons for not telling me now. But damn it, I just want to know! Tell me! Who is it!"

"you."
