Vol 2 Chapter 13: Long Term Goal

This part of the "Vietnam Battlefield" is relatively easy, at least the legs of Lieutenant Dan do not need special treatment, so there is no need to worry about wearing out when shooting. What worried Adrian a little, though, was that the military consultant he invited didn't look like a professional.
Drumming a pair of goldfish eyes, as if he never blinks, his brain is slightly bald, and his stomach is always looking like he has no ng. Had it not been for the assistant's repeated assurances that this guy named Wade Bernson had indeed participated in the Vietnam battlefield as a captain, and had also consulted for "Born on July 4", he would have thought this guy was a liar.
There is still something in Bernson's stomach. At least several other assistants have acknowledged that he has a good standard in this regard, and basically there is nothing wrong with the tactical arrangement. So even if this guy is deprived of the right to drink on the set, and often chants such as "when I am desperate for this country on the Vietnam battlefield, most of the people here are still m guys", Ah Drian didn't mind either.
The shooting was smooth and there were a lot of interesting things. Hanks teased Adrian with the line "reinte1e". This is a term commonly used by the U.S. military to evade self-imposed blasting. When calling this sentence, Lieutenant Dan was letting people throw grenade into dngxue, which is completely in line with the literal meaning.
The most difficult thing to shoot was the scene where A-Gump ran to save people. The previous ones were fine, but the lens when holding Babu was not so easy. In this play, A-Gump wants to hold Babu and run out before the incendiary bombs fall, so it is impossible to use the montage method of "hugging" and then switching to "dropping" as before. Hanks must hold The almost pound-weight Williamson ran at least a hundred feet, which was not easy.
Thinking again and again, Adrian first let the stuntman try to run once, then hanged a wire on Williamson to support his weight, and let Hanks run again before finally shooting the scene of the explosion. As for the next jets and incendiary bombs, they need to be added with CG at a later stage, just like the big helicopters when A-Gump first arrived at the camp.
"This is the document you need to sign today." During the break, Charlize sent some information to Adrian. She seemed more indifferent than before, but Adrian, who knew her situation well, did not take it seriously. on.
"Already negotiated? Why don't I know?" He asked in surprise, looking at the documents in his hand.
"Claude called the day before yesterday. At that time, you were busy with the scene of the rain. Let me not disturb you, of course I will not go against your wishes." Charlize said lightly.
"Oh, yes, the effects of those shots were not very good, so I was a little impatient." Adrian recalled and said suddenly, then patted Charlize's shoulder: "Sorry, Charlie."
"Sorry?" Charlize raised an eyebrow at him.
"I wasn't very good at that time," Adrian said with a smile, signing his name on the document.
"Get used to it." Charlize shrugged, turned back after leaving the papers, "Claude will come over in a minute."
"Claude? What did he come for?" Adrian asked strangely, and Claude himself gave him the answer: "Of course, come here ... What's the matter? Isn't the class right? I've never seen it before The way you work, besides that, it's on my father's golf course, and I should come over for reason, isn't it? "
And when he came here, the first sentence was: "God, if Dad knew that you had ruined his golf course like this, he would have killed you. WWw.YZUU 点 m"
"Sorry, Crow, he'll kill you before then." This was Adrian's answer.
"How does it feel, is it not the same as the director's job in my mind?" Adrian took Claude around the whole crew, and after answering some questions in detail, he asked.
"Yes," Crowd nodded. "I always thought the director would either sit on a chair and yell to start and end, or put on 1ng with the props and do special effects, or shoot against the camera. . "
At this point, he stopped to think about it and looked at Adrian: "It seems that what I said is not different from what I just saw."
"Come on, Crow, just don't sell 1ng in front of me," Adrian punched him with a smile. "Every director has his own specialty. James Cameron is a technology-loving director. But as a director, the main job is not to do special effects, not to resist cameras, but to schedule. "
"Schedule?"
"Yes, a director, even if he has no idea how the lights are played, how the makeup is applied, and how the special effects are done, he can make a great movie. All he needs to do is to tell the heads of the various departments what he wants What kind of results and the results of the supervision of the men's departments are in line with their own requirements. The key is that the director must have a complete picture in his heart and be able to grasp the progress of the entire film. "Adrian explained .
"Sounds," Claude rubbed his chin. "It doesn't seem to be any different from my job."
"Most things in the world are essentially the same," Adrian patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Well, let's talk about the current thing. I thought it would cost 200 million, but I didn't expect to end up with only It cost 120 million. "
"You know, the price that Disney originally offered to Miramax was only 10 million, and we rose to 10 million after we joined. But Michael Eisner obviously does not think that their value is higher than this, so in our Let go after reaching 100 million. "Claude explained briefly," Of course, this 120 million has no white flowers. Although Miramax retained its independent management right, it was acquired by us. Gave them 18% dividends "
"So you've seen the Weinstein brothers already? How do you feel?" Adrian asked immediately.
"I've only met a few times and I'm still not sure, but from the information collected from other channels, these two guys are similar to you. But they are also very ng-like and have the same aggressiveness as us. It is more than fifty years old before they come out, and they have deep feelings for the Miramax brand. "Claude recalled.
"Of course, this is the company named after their parents," Adrian shrugged. "Sooner or later, they will be present, and it will be much happier to be acquired by us than by Disney at all ages."
"Right, Ed, are you interested in meeting them?" Claude said suddenly.
"See you?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, you are the chairman." Claude grinned, wondering what the idea was.
"Okay, no problem." Adrian agreed, then added: "If you have time."
There is definitely time. The golf course where the film "The Forrest Gump" is located is not far from Claude's private club, so Adrian met the Weinstein brothers here the next day.
Of the two brothers, Bob Weinstein seemed familiar, while Harvey Weinstein was very talkative.
"If I knew you would have what you are doing now, Ed, I would definitely take the exercise in the past." Harvey said with a smile when talking about a few years ago.
When Adrian was attending the Venice Film Festival with "Two Big Smoke Guns", the first person to find men was Miramax-it can be seen that their vision is still very good. At this moment, it seems quite doomed to say that it immediately attracted the relationship between several people, except Adrian. If it were not for his birth, Miramax would be the focus of the early generation under the Weinstein brothers' c.
Well, don't care so much, they have become his possessions.
"Like I said to Crow earlier, we are better for you than Disney. Think about it, Disney's signatures are always suitable for all ages, and Miramax is free, and Eisner always likes to be arbitrary and short. There may be nothing in the time, but after a long time, there will be irreparable contradictions, "Adrian said.
This was not alarmist, but something that had happened in his memory. Of course, the problem is not entirely with Disney. It is natural for the parent company to ask its subsidiaries to follow its planned direction. To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of control.
However, now that Miramax has been acquired by the media, it should be impossible to think of this situation again. As he said, they are more compatible with each other than Dinnis. Secondly, since he knows some things, he must be sure. Will be avoided. What's more, media and Disney are different under Adrian's plan.
After these remarks, the Weinstein brothers apparently realized this, and both of them showed deep thoughts, and then they became more enthusiastic.
"Good job, Ed, I knew it was the right thing for you to come over," Claude praised after the Weinstein brothers left.
"I only told the truth," Adrian moved his fingers with a smile. "And, the Weinstein brothers will not become loyal to us because of these remarks, and we will not give up letting Miramac We are operating according to our plan. "
"That's right." Claude lifted his coffee cup and then shifted the topic: "If you want DreamWorks to act as a shield in front, why invest another 100 million? If you want to share profits, 100 million A little less? But I heard that Spielberg are looking for a way to raise money-or are you just trying to support him? "
"Of course not, I'm doing this after the year." Adrian smiled slightly.
"After the year?" Crowder suddenly revealed a surprised god, "You have a far enough plan, Ed."
"It's okay to support Spielberg, but it's more for Carsenberg." Adrian added.
"Jeffrey Carsenberg?" Crowder didn't understand, "Isn't he just turning over with Disney?"
Adrian didn't answer with a smile. The establishment of DreamWorks was a long time ago from his memory. This was of course related to his persuasion, but it caused a series of changes. For example, Spielberg still found David Geffen and Jeffrey Kasenberg, hoping that they could join and support him. Geffen promised Cokasenberg but declined, he is now at Disney The executives are doing well, there is no need to follow Spielberg to start from scratch.
As far as DreamWorks itself is concerned, without Kasenberg is not too much, Spielberg may be able to find a more se. But for Adrian, it was annoying. The reason why Spielberg set up DreamWorks in advance was that he had another goal in addition to finding a shield for his company. If this goal is missing It is difficult to say whether Carsonberg can achieve it.
But this butterfly effect was caused by him, and he couldn't remember why Carsonberg agreed to Spielberg's invitation. In this way, in the face of this situation, nothing can be done Adrian had to comfort himself, not everything will come in his own mind.
However, a few weeks later, the peak was turned around, and Michael Eisner's deputy Frank Wilson died unexpectedly because of a helicopter accident. Carsonberger was so happy that he had worked hard for so long to be able to take over. However, Eisner designated him. The other person excluded him, and the angry Carsenberg and Dinis broke their faces immediately.
"It was exactly this kind of thing that Mike left Paramount at first, but he did not expect that today he used it to others." After seeing such news, Lavern, who had worked with Eisner, said so.
In fact, this is normal. Everyone will have some changes after the palm of his hand. Adrian asks Rafern if he will do the same if necessary in that position. Rafern thinks for a while and gives Affirmatively-he is honest. Power is the best y. This saying is not without foundation. For example, Adrian's behavior is the best explanation for the literal meaning of this sentence.
In short, while requesting Disney's due benefits from Carsonberg, he turned to Spielberg who seized the opportunity and handed in an olive branch, so the dream giants finally got together, and Adrian was relieved.
Of course, this will not tell Claude Ming that after drinking his coffee, Adrian immediately got up and left.
"I have work to do," he said, "call me or Charlie."
"I see." Crowder asked, leaving him to leave the club.
"Tell Richard that I'm already on my way back and get him ready." After the car drove up the road, Adrian asked the assistant nv and nv around him.
Charlize quickly fulfilled his request: "They have begun to adjust."
Although Adrian came here to make an appointment, the filming there did not stop. As in Alabama, the associate director took some simple shots.
"Thank you." Adrian nodded, thinking of something to lean over, looking at Charlize with one hand on his cheek: "Hey, Charlie, it's the weekend right now, maybe we can go out for a stroll?"
"Going out?" Charlize glanced.
"Yes, suddenly I haven't spent the holidays together," Adrian said with a gesture.
"We have had enough holidays together. In addition, allow me to remind you, Ed," Charlize glanced at the Grover driving in front of him. "We said yes, I can only sleep with you, not you Go to bed with me. "
Although it was clear the relationship between Adrian and Charlize, Glover still couldn't help but coughed out. Looking from the front rear-view mirror, his face was a little weird and seemed to be holding back. Adrian, who was also aware of this, was also embarrassed by Charlize's recklessness. He felt his nose and didn't know what to say.
"That's it," Charlize said again at this time, "let's deal with your trouble first."
Then she turned to look out the window and ignored Adrian. Adrian shrugged and let it go temporarily, and Charlize was right, and it was the business that dealt with the current trouble first.
In fact, this is not too much trouble, because after the first time Jo Blanchett went to sea to get it in his hands, for the next more than a week, the two were entangled, naturally they must leave others alone. This is a very normal thing. Who keeps him in a relationship with four or five nv people at present, once the life link is broken by accident, there will definitely be problems that are difficult to separate.
But Adrian didn't have any bad feelings. Instead, he enjoyed it. So walking between NVs is not exactly what he wanted? Moreover, under his training, Monica basically belonged to him, even if he knew it, Kate would not be aware of it at the moment, and Sarah was filming in the studio. "Vampire Buffy", before he also filmed "Forrest Gump" in the studio, cu time passed to see that there is no problem, and n Sarah tried the storeroom and offered his mouth. So the only problem is with Julia.
"I made ten calls to you, and Ed made ten calls to your nv assistant every time. Couldn't you answer the call once? Well, you have something, you have a job, you It's not convenient to answer the phone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But why don't you call me back? Even if you return a call, did you take me to your heart, Ed? Julia roared angrily on the phone.
Even so, Adrian heard the uneasiness hidden in the anger.
"I just want to say sorry, my dear, I'm sorry." He said in a sincere tone, pressing the smile in his heart.
"Don't you think it's too late to say sorry now, Ed?"
"Yes, it's a bit late, but it's not too late. So, tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go to Orange County to relax and you will feel better."
"I won't promise it at rest."
"That's it. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Hey, Ed, I haven't agreed yet"
"See you tomorrow, I love you."
