Chapter 147: Essential (subscription required)

Walking out of the bar door, Duke tightened his trench coat. It was obviously a bit cold on the Dublin night in November. Behind him, Sophie Marceau, wrapped in a scarf, came out with sunglasses. The meaning of staying, turned left and walked directly to a hotel.
"Hi, Sophie..."
With a hello, Duke followed and walked side by side with her, "Why don't we find a place to continue talking?"
Sophie Marceau stopped, turned around, and looked at Duke. Duke met his sunglasses and stared at that beautiful and delicate face, his eyes occasionally falling downward.
Although wearing an autumn outfit, the close-fitting design and dark high-heeled over-the-knee boots still bring out the tall and graceful figure of Sophie Marceau, as he said in the bar, no man would dislike Sophie Marceau, even though her body can be clearly appreciated in the movie, it makes people more interested in her.
Sophie Marceau is not yet thirty years old. It is the most blooming season in life. After a few years, it will be difficult to attract him like it is now.
Taking a step forward slightly, the distance between Duke and her was infinitely close to zero. Sophie Marceau seemed to have no intention of dodge, and the sunglasses covering his eyes were still aimed at Duke.
Slowly took off the sunglasses, Duke looked at her condescendingly, and before Sophie Marceau would react, the hand that threw away the sunglasses was raised again, pinched her chin, and kissed her. On the two attractive red lips, I sniffed the faint scent of wine between her lips and tongue, and then pressed slightly, pressing Sophie Marceau back and forth, pressing her on the street light pole on the side of the road.
With the other hand falling skillfully on the slender waist, Duke easily found the hem of the sweater, gently opened his slender fingers, and flexibly got in, rubbing back and forth on the flat belly a few times. Attacked with lightning speed...
Sophie Marceau, who was immersed in a deep kiss, suddenly opened her eyes, with a little confusion in them. When she felt the hand raging on her chest, the confusion turned into hesitation, hesitation became firm, firmness finally It turned into rejection.
She raised one hand. Grabbing Duke's wrist, with the other hand resting on his chest, struggling to open the distance between the two sides, the two red lips got rid of Duke's entanglement at the same time.
"Sophie..." Duke still pressed her on the light pole, tilted his head and looked at her questioningly, "You are so charming, you are the love of the whole world."
Although the words of compliment were touching, the 28-year-old Sophie Marceau was not a little girl who didn't understand anything. The two of them still cling to each other and told her clearly. The talented young Hollywood director in front of me is only interested in her body.
If it was before marriage, she wouldn't mind coming to the other party last time. Although marriage is not much blissful, and it is not that she has done anything extraordinary after marriage, it is the first time that the opposite person has seen...
Most importantly, through "Brave Heart" she has already got the opportunity to enter Hollywood, and what can he bring her?
"Do you want to destroy someone else's marriage?"
Talking. Sophie Marceau tried her best to retract her hips to avoid further direct contact. "Duke, this is an immoral behavior."
She put her hands on Duke's chest and pushed him out.
Although he was very interested in the woman in front of him and found it very delicious, Duke still disdains to do things like reluctant women. He took a step back and took the initiative to open the distance between the two sides.
"Sorry..." Duke is like a real gentleman, he can't see that he almost turned into a beast just now, "You are so beautiful and so charming."
Frankly speaking. Duke didn't think that he could have a real and substantial contact at the first meeting. He was not a lover, just a test. After all, Sophie Marceau was a famous uninhibited woman in the rumors.
"I want to go back."
Sort out the messy clothes as quickly as possible. Sophie Marceau's face was red from drinking, and there was no happiness or anger, but she said calmly, "I have to work tomorrow, goodbye."
After speaking, she turned and was about to leave, Duke reached out and grabbed her hand, and when Sophie Marceau turned to look over, he put the card that had been prepared into her palm.
"This is my phone number," Duke pointed to the bar behind him. "If you want to drink in the future, or if you go to Los Angeles, you can call me."
He made a call gesture, "I'm always there."
Seeing Sophie Marceau nodded, Duke laughed, "Can you tell me your contact information?"
As if hesitated, Sophie Marceau hesitated for a while, then took out a card from the handbag hanging on his shoulder and handed it to Duke. "This is my personal phone. Please don't call it during working hours."
Sweeping his eyes over the row of numbers on the card, Duke put it away seriously, and pointed to his forehead, "Now, they are here!"
Sophie Marceau smiled lightly, "I'm leaving."
"We will drink together another day." Duke watched his graceful back go away.
Sophie Marceau went further and further, and Duke also turned and walked towards the hotel he was staying in. He seemed to have no nostalgia for the woman behind him. In fact, he knew very well that Sophie Marceau was not an unknown actress, although from the conversation I can hear that I want to enter Hollywood, but a "Brave Heart" is enough for the time being. She has no need for him in a short period of time, and naturally she can't talk about paying.
Moreover, she has been in the film industry for so many years, even if she was a simple and innocent woman, she has already completed her transformation. A woman who has mature thinking and is bound by marriage can get together with the man she met for the first time. Infinitely low.
"There are still opportunities to encounter in the future."
With such thoughts in mind, Duke walked into the hotel and made appointments with the rumored temperament of this woman. It was not without a chance to kiss Fangze.
But in the following time, Duke forgot this incident, because the preliminary preparations of "Saving Private Ryan" entered the busiest stage, and many tasks in progress or completed require his approval. Some The shooting plan of the future scene can never be solved by drawing a draft of the shot. He needs to lead the heads of many departments to conduct field inspections.
Especially the small towns and beaches of the two war scenes at the end and the opening of the filming are the top priority in the preliminary preparations. Fortunately, the former is set up on the set after widening a drainage channel, while the latter is progressing. Faster, but more troublesome, not only to arrange the beach, but also to build German fortifications behind the beach.
When Duke got off the car, the first thing Duke saw was a dozen busy construction machines. This long and narrow beach was obviously turned into a busy construction site, although many buildings, including bunkers, were in vain and workload. It's not small.
When I saw Duke, a producer and set designer who were in charge of this place rushed over. The two sides exchanged briefly. Compared with the French town where the studio is still being built, this beach is transformed with the help of terrain. With more adequate resources, the progress will be slightly faster. If there is no too bad weather such as a typhoon, it should be completed before the studio.
Bypassing the huge German bunker and passing through the passage reserved on the beach, Duke took a bunch of men and horses down to the beach. Unlike the empty space when he came last time, a lot of irons have been erected to prevent landing craft from landing. Barbed wire fences are also drawn on the shelves at some places on the shore where construction has ended.
Duke walked to an iron shelf, knocked, and asked, "Will it be washed away when the tide is high?"
"No, we haven't arranged the offshore location yet," a person in charge of the props group walked over. "This was a tool designed by Rommel himself, but it didn't work in the end."
Everyone laughed and walked horizontally along the coastline, discussing precautions during the shooting of the landing battle.
Before the project was approved for this film, Duke also consulted a lot of relevant information. This kind of historical film has bugs, but it cannot make too low-level errors. For example, these iron frames are actually used to prevent landing craft from landing. , But after watching a movie on the subject of Normandy’s landing, many people will wonder why these things are actually located on the shore?
Because the German army judged that the Allied forces would attack at high tide, so that the Allied infantry could not charge a long distance after landing, the German army arranged these shelves according to the water level at high tide, but the Allied Command felt that the landing craft hit these shelves. It was more deadly than a long-distance charge on the beach. I chose to land at low tide, so these shelves that were originally in the water turned into shore facilities at low tide. They didn't play a role, but were used as shelters by the Allies.
"Tom..."
Duke called to follow Tom Hanks in the team, "You will be transferred here in the next week of training. You need to communicate with Jos’s fireworks team in time and get familiar with the location of the fireworks. I don’t want to see it. Some of you are injured."
"I understand." Hanks nodded seriously.
Although this is an extremely chaotic landing operation, the crew must not be confused. Even if the firework crew of Joss Williams only uses soft explosives with extremely low power, it will set the moving route map in advance, but the actors. It is still necessary to coordinate. If Tom Hanks and other major actors are injured, the shooting progress will definitely be delayed.
The crowd circled around the beach and gradually dispersed to discuss their work issues. Duke was standing next to the iron rack and looking at the sea not far away, Tom Hanks came over.
As the two of them communicated with the characters, they gradually became familiar with each other. Compared with other Hollywood stars, Tom Hanks's personality is relatively mild. In other words, it is hidden under the simple and honest appearance. Is a very clever mind.
"Duke, I think the beginning of this battle..." He hesitated, "I have no other meaning, just simple ideas."
"It's okay." Duke motioned for him to continue.
"I don't think the opening battle has much to do with the theme of the film?" Tom Hanks asked softly.
"Indeed it is."
Duke directly admitted that he shot the triangle in front of him, "but it must be a lot!" (to be continued...)
