Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Jack Valenti once again came to the other side of the Pacific. Regarding the market here, Hollywood's main idea now is not to make money, but to cultivate the market.

As long as they introduce ten Hollywood movies every year, they will cultivate a group of young people who like to watch movies. When the economic development here takes effect, Hollywood will have another big market.

"Good job, Ronald. At the meeting, you spoke highly of the long-arc halogen lamps made here. You also said that Hollywood and the film industry here can learn from each other's strengths. The leaders all laughed and were very happy. We The treatment I received this year was much better than before.

Their foreign exchange is limited, but this year they will no longer introduce old movies and start focusing on new movies released two or three years ago. We are making good progress this time. "

"You are right, Mr. Valenti. I think they are really a nation suitable for film art. If you look at the imported Hollywood movies, they will also ask actors to dub. They pay great attention to the details, even the mouth shape and rhythm. Aim to be consistent with the original text.

The voice actor for each character also strives to have the same personality as the original actor.

They are a nation that is sophisticated and nourished by a profound culture. Completely different from those stupid people in Suwei Alliance. Those Russians will only ask one person to translate everyone's lines at the same time and record them simultaneously as voice-overs. "

"Haha, you are right. After you continue to participate in the activities arranged by the host tomorrow, you can go to Xujiahui and see your lamp factory."

Ronald accompanied Jack Valenti and talked with the other party's leader here for several days, and finally achieved the effect Valenti hoped to achieve.

Most of the time, Ronald just served as a mascot to accompany the guests. Only when the artist representative needed to speak, he would say some flattering words, which had a good effect.

The leader liked Ronald very much and learned some of Ronald's background through a translator. After learning that he was a descendant of an orphan, he repeatedly praised Ronald as a model of self-struggle. But he also pointed out that if he were here, the government would definitely arrange the life of the descendants of veterans, instead of letting his aunt work as a waitress to support him.

What Ronald is most satisfied with is eating a lot of authentic Chinese food. The skills of chefs in foreign hotels and restaurants hosting banquets for leaders are satisfactory.

On the last day, Ronald and Valenti and other people went to visit the National Palace Museum as arranged by the host. The leader had other things to do and came without his companions. Ronald and the others came to the Forbidden City with an interpreter.

At the entrance of the Forbidden City,

Ronald and Valenti were stopped and told that because there was a movie shooting today, ordinary tourists were not allowed to enter. If they wanted to visit the Forbidden City, they had to wait until the movie shooting was completed.

The translator calmly took out a letter of introduction with an official seal. After the other party read it, he let them in.

"It turns out they are guests from the bureau. Please tell me earlier." The other party began to move the wooden railings and let them in.

Ronald asked the translator and was told that during this period, Italian leftist director Bertolucci was filming "The Last Emperor" using the real scenes of the Forbidden City. Ronald couldn't help but think of Jeremy Thomas, whom he had met in London. It seemed that this independent producer wanted to film the story of The Last Emperor.

It seems that he did a very good job. Even the Forbidden City was lent to him for filming real scenes.

"Alas... You are not with them, you can't come in. Them? They have a letter of introduction from the bureau, do you have it? Are you an actor? Where is your pass? You can't be let in without a pass. Have you seen Lenin's pass? ?”

Ronald had already entered the Forbidden City far away when he heard the guard and another foreigner arguing. The man didn't seem to understand Chinese, and the two of them were talking very anxiously.

Ronald motioned to the translator to help and understand the situation.

"He said he was from the British Cinema. Peter O'Toole was an actor on the set. Look. It doesn't seem like he was lying." The translator chatted with the foreigner for a while and then said to the doorman.

"Hey, how do we understand this? Foreigners' names are so complicated that we can't remember them." The guard disagreed. "Besides, how can any foreigner ride a 28-bar? I guess 80% of them come from tourism. Sneak in."

"I'm really an actor. Have you seen Lawrence of Arabia? I have a scene to shoot today."

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. Let's not talk about you. The Queen of Britain came a while ago and she couldn't come in. We're filming, so who's responsible for the delay?"

Seeing that the interpreter was still delaying, Ronald took two steps forward.

The foreigner who was stopped outside saw Ronald, who was obviously a Westerner in a leather jacket. He covered the sun with his hands and looked at it, and then shouted, "Ronald, is that you? I It’s Peter. You tell them, I still have footage to shoot today.”

"Peter? Mr. O'Toole?" Ronald recognized the other person and quickly called Jack Valenti forward. Several people testified to the doorman that this was indeed a professional actor.

Peter O'Toole pushed a bicycle, "In this movie, there is a plot where the last emperor learned to ride a bicycle. In order to ride a bicycle, he sawed off all the thresholds of the Forbidden City."

The two chatted about old times when they were filming "Supergirl" at Pinewood Studios, and walked inside together.

After walking into the Forbidden City, the squares of the three main halls were very lively. Many extras were sitting on the ground putting on their makeup. There were thousands of people.

They all lined up in an orderly manner, and when it was their turn, they put on makeup and wigs.

"They are really a nation that obeys order. It would be great if Hollywood had such obedient extras." Ronald also joked with Peter O'Toole.

"It's really good, and their performance level is also good. I talked to a supporting actor who played a beggar, and he is an actor with decades of theater experience."

The morning sun was very bright. In the corner of the square in the Forbidden City, under a large camera crane, a director-like person wearing an old-fashioned top hat was giving a speech to three Chinese Americans.

"When you come out of that position, the extras will pay tribute to you. Zunlong, don't show any reaction to them. Then follow your two wives and walk out openly..."

"Is this the director Bertolucci?" Ronald asked in a low voice.

"It's him, listen, he's about to switch to Italian," Peter O'Toole replied.

Sure enough, Bertolucci spoke English slowly and with a heavy accent. Seeing that several of the leading actors had difficulty understanding it, he finally switched to Italian and had a translator convey the message.

Ronald stood still. He didn't particularly like Bertolucci's director's method of detailing everything, letting the actors perform every action, expression, and detail according to their own prescribed actions.

This is tantamount to depriving the actors of their space and treating them like puppets.

"I'll introduce it to you later." Peter O'Toole knew that once Bertolucci started telling a play, it was common for half an hour and an hour. He makes movies very slowly and meticulously, refusing to compromise on any detail.

Even for the scene where the Empress Dowager Cixi dies and the young emperor enters the palace, real lamas were hired because they could not be touched by women. They also hired male makeup artists and costumers to serve them.

"Forget it, I think Director Bertolucci is very busy. It's enough for us to look around." Ronald stopped O'Toole's idea. He didn't want to wait on the set for an hour just to hear these trivial things. .

Valenti was still waiting here to chat with Bertolucci about the details of his co-production, so Ronald left the translator to him and wandered around the National Palace Museum alone.

Because of filming, many exhibition halls were not open. Ronald walked around for a long time and felt bored. He ran out, found a taxi and went to the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace.

When the driver saw Ronald, a foreigner who could speak Chinese, he thought he was an international student, so he chatted with him about the general trend of the world and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This gave Ronald a full understanding of the qualities of the people of the big countries. Even the taxi driver was well-versed in international affairs. Politics, Washington, D.C. drivers are not of this caliber.

"Ronald, where have you been?"

In the evening, Ronald returned to the Jianguo Hotel, and Jack Valenti finally found him. "Your movie was picked up by the leadership, and it was specially added to the list of introductions for next year."

"Ah? All the films I make are commercial, will they import them?" Ronald was very surprised. He made films that catered to American audiences. Why would they import them here? Shouldn't they be looking for some with artistic standards? Movie? During the previous meeting, the leadership specifically mentioned the Oscar-winning movie. The artistic quality of their Oscar-winning films is quite recognized.

"Yes, they plan to introduce 'break dancing' in several of your movies. Look, this is their list of Hollywood movies they plan to introduce. This is break dancing."

The translator showed Ronald a list in Chinese and pointed at the Chinese name of the last movie on the list, telling him that this was Ronald's movie.

Ronald was even more surprised. It would be easier to introduce other films. Breakdancing is a low-budget dance film. How come the other party would also like it? Could it be a promotion of the breakdancing demonstration at the Olympics closing ceremony?

“The film reflects the racial contradictions in America, the contradiction between rich and poor... it reflects the dilapidation of the slums of Los Angeles in the big city... it reflects the lower class blacks and poor people in America who are discriminated against by the upper class and are treated unfairly. It exposes the intensifying social conflicts in America and is a film that profoundly reflects the social reality."

Ronald's eyes turned to the column of reasons for introduction below.

"Pfft..." Ronald almost couldn't hold it back. When I was filming, I never thought about this. In fact, I just thought of a reason to let them dance.

"Will my movie also be dubbed?" Ronald thought of the dubbed version he saw in his dream.

The translator looked at the document and said, "Yes, this film should be assigned to the translation studio in Xujiahui."

"Thank you, thank you leaders for your concern for me. I really hope that my movie can be seen by the people of your country." Ronald said to the translator.

"Perhaps it's just because the price of the copies given by Cannon Pictures is relatively low, and the seven major studios don't want to sell the movies in the past two years at such a low price." After the translator left, Jack Valenti and Luo Nader expressed his speculation.

"That's good. At least I can say that my movie can be seen by people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean."

One day later, Jack Valenti and Ronald flew to Hongqiao again and went to the city to see the great Hollywood director Spielberg filming the movie "Empire of the Sun" on the Bund.

At the Last Emperor, the cooperation was very smooth due to the concern of the leaders. Xujiahui Studio is another place. As the president of the Film Association, he has the obligation to check it out.

Under the Waibaidu Bridge, the original white dividing line on the road was blackened with paint, and the barbed wire fence set up by foreigners to separate the concession and the Chinese border was re-erected.

Ronald came to the Suzhou River with Jack Valenti in the morning and watched Spielberg from a distance, talking to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child actor in a red uniform.

"Chris, you have to start from here. The refugees behind you start to rush towards you. You didn't see them, so you showed a mixture of surprise and nervousness. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I didn't know what happened, so I was startled by the refugees rushing from behind." The kid was a bit thin, but he seemed to have good understanding and was very spiritual.

Ronald was standing at the edge of a large circle of hemp rope on the filming location.

The residents here are very curious about a large group of foreigners filming. The hemp rope has three layers inside and three outside, and there are people in uniform guarding the hemp rope.

"Steven and Bertolucci both tell dramas, but their methods are very different." Ronald thought to himself. As a director, I rarely have the opportunity to observe other directors' crews live, but actors have many opportunities to see the methods of different directors.

Bertolucci stipulated all the details of the performance in detail, while Spielberg inspired the actors and told them more about the causes, consequences and atmosphere of the scene, allowing the actors to figure out what kind of performance they would like. method.

"Very good, that's it, remember this feeling." The kid Spielberg was very satisfied with his understanding and asked him to make a few facial expressions and then waved for the makeup artist to come over.

A hairstylist found a wig for the child to wear, and another makeup artist came up to paint dirt on the child's teeth.

Spielberg picked up the electric horn again and started shouting to the surrounding Chinese performers, "We are following the order given to you by the assistant director, and we are going to walk through it again."

An interpreter translated Spielberg's orders into Chinese. Ronald discovered that it was Xiao Yan, the son of Lao Yan, his partner in the lightning lamp factory.

Next to me, the person demonstrating the running route for the extras was the female director I met last time, Assistant Director Huang.

It seems that the two people Ronald introduced to Spielberg were used very smoothly by him and are now working as assistants on the set.

"Hi, are you American or British?" an old man watching the excitement on the street asked Ronald in pure English.

Ronald saw that he could speak English and was a little kind. He gave him a Chinese cigarette brought from the Forbidden City and lit it for him with a match.

"We Americans." Ronald pointed at the actors dressed as Japanese officers in the extras and asked him, "Do you hate the little japs? Do you feel bad when they come here wearing military uniforms again?"

"Actually, I was twenty-four years old when the war started. The scene I saw that day was the same as now. Hey, they were a really bad group of people. But now they are making movies. I also often watched Hollywood movies back then. of."

Ronald chatted with the old man for a few words and did not bother Spielberg.

However, the translator Xiao Yan had sharp eyes and saw Ronald standing on the periphery of the crew. He immediately waved to himself, then turned back and whispered in Spielberg's ear.

"Hey, Ronald, Mr. Valenti." Spielberg, wearing a baseball cap that read "Empire of the Sun" on it, walked over a few steps and met Jack Valenti and Ronaldo who were brought into the shooting circle by Xiao Yan. Nader said hello with a hug.

"We are here to cheer you up, don't worry about us, don't disturb your work." Jack Valenti knew that the director was very busy on the set, so he asked Spielberg to go and film first.

"It doesn't matter, Ronald is also a good player and can just help me."

"Of course, I can help you maintain order in the group performance." Ronald laughed.

There was a long wait for the official filming, and the little kid who played the main character, Jim, started running on the road to warm up. Moreover, he kept breathing heavily, squatting, and standing up straight, deliberately making himself a little out of breath.

"Where did you find such an actor? He's a genius? Did he come up with the method himself?" Ronald was surprised. This kind of using body movements to simulate the panting caused by emotions is a very clever performance. Skill.

Ordinary viewers cannot tell whether you are tired from running or are nervous because you saw the Japanese soldiers.

"He learned it from old actors himself. It was John Malkovich who taught him." Spielberg laughed.

"You are really good at training child actors." Jack Valenti also lamented that among Hollywood directors who are good at training child actors, Spielberg is very good.

"No, I am just lucky and often pick the most talented children. Christian was selected by me out of more than 4,000 children. He happens to be of Welsh origin and has the same background as the protagonist."

"Hmm..." Ronald secretly noted that these are good ways for directors to deal with problems. Teaching children to act is an almost impossible task. Spielberg's advantage over other directors is that he can select the most suitable actors.

At this time, Assistant Director Huang came to talk to Spielberg again. Ronald only nodded to her and said hello, and Assistant Director Huang took Xiao Yan to report to Spielberg.

"These soldiers who play soldiers don't understand how to perform after being shot. The way we perform here is different from that in Hollywood."

It turns out that except for a few Japanese actors, the rest of the group performances were performed by soldiers from the army. They didn't know how to perform, but they followed the director's instructions and imitated them very well.

"Ha, our Hollywood actors do die differently from other places. Let me demonstrate. Only Hollywood actors die like this."

Spielberg covered his chest with his hands and swayed from side to side. He struggled for two seconds before falling to the ground.

"He still wanted to live, so even though he was shot and wounded on the ground, he still tried very hard to climb out of the street and crawl to the side without being discovered by the Japanese army." Spielberg was on the ground again, using one hand and one hand. The legs work hard to make crawling movements.

"Understood? Come and give it a try and let Huang see."

Spielberg was busy again, and Ronald hid on the monitor behind the camera, out of the way.

"Attention all departments, a!" Spielberg was busy for more than half an hour, finally sorted out all the departments, and then ordered the shooting to start.

"Start filming! Start filming! Start filming!" Assistant Director Huang's electric horn was bigger than Spielberg's. She repeated Spielberg's orders in Chinese. Most people on the scene could only understand her Chinese orders.

The young actor named Christian approached from the far side of the road. The Japanese army behind them was speeding in. When they met the young actor, he made a frightened expression and then accelerated towards the roadside.

"Cut!" After Spielberg stopped, he also walked to the monitor. The new director monitor is connected to a video recorder, which can record the scene on video tape and then play it back to the director.

"Very good, let's move on to the next shot." Spielberg was satisfied. Xiaoyan translated his order and passed it out, and everyone applauded.

The shooting continued until sunset in the afternoon, and the scheduled shooting time had ended. The rush hour after get off work began to arrive, and many people were rushing home on bicycles. The blocked intersections were about to be unblocked, and only the people watching the excitement still formed a circle.

Ronald helped Spielberg to direct the group performances to finish work, and then began to remove the barbed wire fence to restore smooth traffic flow on the Waibaidu Bridge.

"Hey, what comics are you reading?" Spielberg spent a day filming. When he was tired, he saw a child reading a comic and happily chatted with her.

Ronald looked at the cover and saw a big black and white cat wearing a police uniform.

"Chief Black Cat, captain; cat", Xiao Yan came over to explain to Spielberg.

"Chief Black Cat, is he a superhero? Huh?"

Spielberg loves children very much. He separated from his son for more than a month in order to make this movie, and the children looked very loving when he saw them.

"Yeah", the child was a little shy chatting with foreigners and ran away.

Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

In the evening, Director Xu of Xujiahui Film Factory hosted a banquet to entertain his Hollywood colleagues. Because tomorrow is a day off, we will go to Qingpu in the suburbs to continue filming, so Spielberg and several actors also went to the banquet with Ronald, Valenti and others.

In the restaurant of the film studio, several round tables were set up to entertain the "Empire of the Sun" crew. Director Xu is well-informed and knows Spielberg’s status in Hollywood.

This time he chose the adaptation of "Empire of the Sun", which tells the story of a magical experience of a child named Jim, who was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the Japanese army in this city after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Jim is a pampered child who loves airplanes. On the eve of Pearl Harbor, he accidentally discovered that the Japanese Zero plane crashed in Xujiahui and learned that the Japanese army would attack the concession.

He was separated from his parents while fleeing and was caught by the Japanese army. He raised his hands and surrendered to the Japanese army. After going through many hardships in the concentration camp, the US military's P51 Mustang fighter jets attacked the concentration camp where foreign nationals were detained.

The story of Jim finding food dropped by the US military, surrendering to the US military, and finally being reunited with his parents.

Director Xu understands that Spielberg shoots a movie with this epic background for the Oscar award. It happened to be in competition with "The Last Emperor", which was filmed in the Forbidden City. Both movies have the gimmick of being shot here first. They are both epic movies and both are adaptations of best-selling personal autobiographies.

This competition is also related to the direction of competition between the northern and southern film studios, so Director Xu attaches great importance to it. Trying to make sure everything is satisfactory to Spielberg.

"That was the best ensemble cast I have ever seen. It was outstanding. I always feel that your technical strength is not inferior to that of Hollywood." Spielberg was a good person and began to praise Xujiahui.

"Hahaha, the leader of the ministry also called just now and said that Ronald also said the same thing. There is still no big gap between us and the world's advanced level in some aspects."

Ronald was chatting with his seatmate John Malkovich, who played an American businessman. Malkovich asked Ronald if he knew how to say crazy in Chinese.

"Um...maybe it's crazy?"

"You're wrong. I learned it from my Chinese teacher. It's called Shen...jing...bing..."

"Ah... poof..." Ronald laughed.

The few young actors next to him didn't know what was going on, but they were infected by Ronald's smile and laughed with him.

"What's your name? I think you acted very well."

"My name is Christian, Christian Bale." The slightly thin male protagonist introduced himself to Ronald, "I like your Top Gun very much."

"I like it too. I like this kind of war movie the best." Another young actor, who was a little fat, was not to be outdone. He put on a veteran look and rushed to talk to Ronald.

"I like that you like my movie. What's your name?" Ronald felt very interesting being with these child actors.

"Call me Ben, Ben Stiller." The little fat man said with a proud face, "Let me tell you, actors are actually a bit narcissistic. Many actors who play soldiers in our crew are very proud after the previous training. Ego They became very large, as if they were veterans who had actually been to war.

If I want to be a director like you in the future, I will direct a movie that satirizes these self-righteous actors. "

"Oh, that's very interesting. I'll wait and see."

At this time, Spielberg finished chatting with Director Xu and returned to his seat at the table.

"Director Spielberg, please try this Xiao Long Bao. It is made by the chef we borrowed from the Green Wave Gallery. The Queen of Britain came and tasted it at their place." Xiao Yan introduced to Spielberg enthusiastically. New dishes.

"Ha, I'm filming here, that's the problem. I don't know what I ate, and now I have a mouth ulcer, which won't last long. It hurts when I eat something."

Spielberg, who was more relaxed with Ronald, began to complain about the harsh conditions. Mainly because I’m not used to Chinese food.

"Director Huang, Xiao Yan, go and ask if there is Guiling Jeal. Give some copies to Director Spielberg. He has some of that... that or something..." Ronald covered his mouth and gestured to them.

"Getting angry?"

"Ah, yes, getting angry."

"I'll ask the master chef in the kitchen to serve some portions." Xiao Yan went to make arrangements.

"Director Luo, I have also made a movie now." Assistant Director Huang smiled and reported the good news to Ronald.

"Oh, congratulations, I wonder what type it is?"

"It's a female movie. I watched some of the videos you sent me. Many Hollywood movies are very interesting. I like Cameron's 'Terminator'. The power of women there inspired me, so I made one. This is a film that reflects opera actors. In our operas, there is a type where female actors play male roles, which I find very interesting."

"Okay, do you have a copy? I'd love to see your work."

At this time, Xiao Yan and a waiter brought several bowls of black jelly-like desserts. Give Spielberg the table.

"Steven, try this, it will be good for your mouth ulcer."

Spielberg tried it with a spoon and found that it felt cool after eating it, as if the ulcer felt better. He quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "It seems to have some effect. What is this called?"

"Guiling jelly, give the director another bowl."

…

In the evening, Ronald sent Spielberg back to the Huating Hotel to rest. He went out to find Assistant Director Huang and Xiao Yan, and they went to the small screening room of the film studio to watch Director Huang's works.

After the studio's logo, a title "Love Between Humans and Ghosts" written in calligraphy appeared on the screen, and then three bowls of white, black, and red paint were placed on the table, and a heroic actress sat down. In front of the mirror, use three kinds of paint to paint your face.

"Is this?" Ronald felt that this art form seemed a bit familiar.

"This is called Hua Lian. This opera actress plays Zhong Kui in myths and legends, who specializes in catching ghosts. She plays Zhong Kui who marries his sister, but she doesn't get married because of her career."

Ronald watched it with great interest. The story of the whole movie was not smooth, but the various techniques and metaphors clearly had the influence of Hollywood.

"I have seen very good women's films that tell women's stories from a female perspective." After the screening, Ronald congratulated Director Huang.

"Is the person who plays Zhong Kui really the heroine? Those opera performances seem to require a long time of training to achieve." Ronald felt that those moves were better than those of the actors in the dance movies he had just finished filming. Be level.

"No, that was performed by a real opera actor, and it is also the prototype of this story."

Ronald congratulated Director Huang and said that this kind of movie is very rare in Hollywood.

"It would be great if there was a chance that it could be released in America."

"What movie is showing in America?"

A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses approached from behind and asked Director Huang.

"Ah, Director Xie, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look at your debut novel and see if there are any problems. I brought you here too."

"I haven't introduced you yet, this is my teacher, Director Xie. This is Director Luo from Hollywood."

"Hello, Director Xie." Ronald shook hands with the middle-aged director.

"Are you the one who sent Xiao Huang the latest video tape? Thank you. Our copies have to be borrowed from Xiangjiang. Many of them are outdated."

"Nowhere, Xiaoyan, Director Huang and I are good friends who hit it off immediately."

"Making a movie is the most troublesome. You have to be careful everywhere. You gave her many opportunities to learn from big Hollywood directors.

I always say that making movies is like scooping water with your hands. If the gap between your fingers is slightly wider, it will leak. A little sloppy here, a little leaky there, and by the time you serve it to the audience, all the good stuff has already leaked out.

So I always ask them to learn more. "

The two exchanged pleasantries and chatted about artistic creation. Assistant Director Huang interjected, "My teacher is filming a big film. Like 'Empire of the Sun', the exterior scenes are all in the Qingpu location. Do you want to go and take a look?" ?”

…

"I heard that Director Xie is their best director of commercial films. His box office is always the highest. The male and female protagonists often win their Oscars. Yes...it's called the Golden Rooster Award."

The next day, Ronald and Spielberg went to the filming location in Qingpu together, and accompanied them to check out the concentration camp settings, airport runways, model aircraft and other facilities used for filming.

Spielberg's team is the most professional in Hollywood, and he has no problems.

At this time, Ronald proposed that he should visit the shooting of his colleagues at Xujiahui Film Factory.

Spielberg's ulcer was completely healed after taking Guiling Gao, and he became interested in the mysterious East, so he and Ronald went to see Director Xie's filming location in Qingpu.

The outdoor scenes of this crew are even more impressive than those of "Empire of the Sun." It completely replicates an ancient road in an antique town. The bluestone slabs on it have both antique charm and ancient splicing methods. Even the moss on it is restored very well.

Ronald discovered the problem and squatted down to look at the material.

This seems to be no different from a real bluestone slab. It has texture and is just the right degree of distress. Even the light, shade and color of the moss can be truly restored in the camera.

"How did this happen?" Ronald didn't understand.

"I don't know, this is really amazing. I have to ask, this kind of technology doesn't exist in Hollywood."

Two Hollywood directors ran to the scene, found Xiao Yan, and took them to Director Xie's residence to ask him who the props on the bluestone road were. They wanted to ask him carefully.

Ronald even had the idea of ​​poaching people. If the production technology of this prop could be introduced to Hollywood, he would have another small business. In the future, for crews filming period dramas, their own unique skills will definitely be the first choice.

"You asked me who made the props for the bluestone road?" Director Xie was chatting about creation with the two protagonists, a male and a female. Ronald asked them questions.

"Yeah, we don't have this kind of technology in Hollywood." Ronald thought to himself, Director Xie really has no gaps between his fingers, and even the props are restored so well, it must be a good movie.

"I don't have any props. I moved them directly from a small town in western Hunan."

"Huh?" Ronald and Spielberg looked at each other with disbelief.

"Yes, I made a report and asked the local government to coordinate and number the bluestones on the road in that town one by one, and then packed them up and moved them here."

Director Xie adjusted his glasses and looked calm, as if it was no big deal.

Both Ronald and Spielberg were impressed by the generosity. How much would it cost in Hollywood?

The two of them had no intention of continuing the conversation. Their systems were different, and there was no way to learn this kind of thing.

"Hey, Director Xie is so awesome. He has impressed all the foreigners in Hollywood." The male lead gave a thumbs up to the female lead and praised the director of his crew.

"Of course, who is better if he is not good? But if you can make money, you still have to go abroad. Look at that Xiao Chen. This time she came back to the Forbidden City to film a movie. She spoke and dressed in a fashionable manner, and even asked others to call her by her English name, Joan. .When do you think we can make money like this?" the heroine replied.

Ronald and Spielberg slowly walked along the path back to the location. Stepping on the bluestone road again, the two looked at each other without saying a word. They also wanted to make this kind of movie.

"Ronald, tell me, their system still has merit." Spielberg knelt down and touched the bluestone carefully, and said a little unwillingly.

"Yeah, making a movie like this, regardless of cost, what can be wrong?" Ronald also squatted down and touched the bluestone with his right hand. The real thing was still better than the fake prop.

"Their system really has merits. The support is so great. When I was filming Top Gun and Air-to-Air Missiles, the Navy only allowed me to shoot two shots."

"Hey..." The two stood up and sighed enviously.
