Rebirth In Hollywood

The off-road vehicle bumped all the way and carried Ryan to the crew's station. This is a very ordinary small town in Ireland. Because of the relationship between the Spielberg crew and the station, it became lively and busy.

Especially not too far from the town, there is an abandoned base of the Air Force. The artists of the crew are leading the construction team to engage in infrastructure and destruction, trying to build a devastated and ruined French battlefield.

"Hi, Toby."

As soon as he got out of the car, Ryan saw Spielberg's assistant and asked, "Where's Steven?"

"Oh, God, Ryan, you're finally here." Toby Hoskin led Ryan forward. "Mr. Spielberg is ahead."

Although there was still some time left before the filming, the entire team had already started to get busy. Ryan walked along the way and saw almost no idlers. When he came to a group of tents similar to military camps, Spielberg was holding a satellite phone. Walking around, talking hoarsely.

Don't ask, Ryan also knows that the old Jewish man must be in the post-production of "Jurassic Park 2" by remote control. If there is no accident, Spielberg still won't have "Saving Private Ryan" after shooting "Saving Private Ryan". idle.

Perhaps the change brought about by Ryan, "Saving Private Ryan", which was long overdue, has not yet started.

"Congratulations, Ryan!"

Spielberg put away the satellite phone, and the first thing he did was to congratulate him, "I didn't expect the box office record of 'Jurassic Park' to be rewritten so quickly."

"It's just luck." Ryan was rarely modest.

"Is it really luck?" Tom Hanks suddenly came out of the 'barracks', "I believe that the next one to break this record will be you, Ryan."

"Oh, God!" Ryan looked surprised. "Tommy, you are..."

Tom Hanks almost changed people. He was wearing dirty army green clothes, and the beard on his face had not been shaved for a long time, matching his sunken cheeks. Like a refugee who just escaped from Africa.

"We're doing military training." Tom Hanks spread his hands helplessly. "Trust me. Ryan, you will be like this in a week."

"That's right!" Spielberg glanced up and down at Ryan and said very seriously, "Ryan, you must lose at least five pounds before the movie starts.

"

"Okay!" Ryan will naturally cooperate, "No problem."

Fortunately, my body looks a little thin from the outside. Otherwise losing weight will definitely be a big hassle.

"Ryan, you're welcome to join the crew." Spielberg laughed.

"Ryan, welcome to hell." Tom Hanks was happy for another suffering compatriot.

Originally, Spielberg wanted the location to be in the UK. However, the British Ministry of Defense refused to provide the crew with military and other assistance. He had to choose Ireland, because the Irish military promised to send more than 1,000 soldiers to assist in the shooting. Most of them also participated in films such as "Braveheart".

In addition, it is the military training of the actors.

"Essentially. You are not actors now. You have to think like a soldier, although it is very difficult to become such a person!"

Ryan, Tom Hanks, Giovanni Ribis and others stood in a row, listening to the routine lectures of the former Marine Corps captain Dale Day.

On the second day on set, Ryan was like the rest of the cast. Basic military training begins, even though his chosen role doesn't have much of a role.

Ryan and others need to quickly integrate into the film's environment. In order to enter the role early, they even learned how to use weapons, individual tactics, and the code and sign language of the military during World War II.

Frankly speaking, these are not too difficult for Ryan, and the actual training life is the real test.

Training stroke meals and sleeping rough are the norm, just like a real army, Ryan and others have to carry 40 pounds of equipment every day, march three miles in a hurry, not only sleep without a bed, but also live in a tent, and the rest time every day Strictly control it within five hours, which is still a preferential treatment.

Although it is a bit bitter and tiring, Ryan and other younger people are okay to say, after all, you can persevere by clenching your teeth, but for Tom Hanks, it is like hell, and every rapid march is a test .

However, team spirit always comes into play here.

"If a teammate is in trouble, then you have to stop and help him!"

At this time, the former Marine Corps captain would always say a big reason, "The army is not a movie, there is no room for individual heroism here, teamwork is the fundamental guarantee of victory!"

After the rapid march, it is often possible to have meals. For these actors who are used to enjoying the food, the food can only be said to be appalling.

"Beans, canned beef, canned peanut butter, canned tomatoes..."

Sitting in the open space in front of the tent, Ryan looked at the few foods he had and gestured to several teammates, "Hey guys, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't care what they want to eat."

Ryan's shaper flashed like a ghost and reminded him, "Don't forget, Ryan, you have to lose five pounds, and you can't touch any meat..."

"God!" Ryan covered his face, canned food is bad enough, and even beef should be banned, it would be better to die, "Am I only allowed to eat beans and canned tomatoes?"

"Stop complaining, Ryan." Tom Hanks rudely snatched the canned beef from Ryan's hand. "We are very envious of your complete protein and vitamin nutrition package."

After the meal, only a few minutes of rest is the routine weapons training time.

Although live ammunition is not required, aiming and other postures should at least be presentable. Although the crew used some antiques, Ryan was very interested.

These are real firearms. The props team found more than 700 m1 Garands and Chicago typewriters in total, as well as many m1901 pistols.

Needless to say, the professional ability of the team convened by Spielberg. Since they could not find a real Tiger tank, these guys bought two t34 tanks from Russia, and abruptly changed the appearance to look like a Tiger tank.

Such a war epic must be a big investment and a big production. DreamWorks not only hired Jenkins Pictures to co-produce it, but also accepted the investment from Paramount Pictures.

As the time entered the end of August, Ryan deliberately asked for leave from the USC Film School. When the military training came to an end, a man named Vin Diesel did not know how to get through Spielberg's relationship. , joined Ryan and his party.

Even Spielberg asked screenwriter Robert Rodart to add a role for him.

This situation is not uncommon. In Hollywood, relationship households are always more popular than pure newcomers. However, the appearance of this guy has stimulated the enthusiasm of the crew to gossip.

"Ryan, isn't this guy Stephen's illegitimate child?" Tom Hanks was of course joking. With his relationship with Spielberg, he often made fun of old Jewish men.

"It's unlikely." Ryan tapped the can of beans with a spoon, and appeared to be thinking seriously. He said after a while, "This guy looks like a mulatto, and Stephen doesn't seem to have such a strong taste. Bar?"

"That's not certain, Stephen..." In just a few minutes, Tom Hanks broke out some absurd things about Spielberg when he was young. These are super gossip that rarely circulated outside the circle. .

Ryan's military training lasted for ten days, and he successfully lost five pounds. He looked much thinner.

"Hi, Nicole, it's been a long time since I saw you, can't you recognize me?"

After walking out of the temporary 'barracks', Ryan saw Nicole Kidman who came to visit the class, and the distress in the eyes of the Australian girl disappeared in a flash.

"Why did the movie become like this before filming started?"

People come and go here, and Nicole can't do anything, but the hand holding Ryan's arm is extraordinarily hard.

"When you make a war movie, you always have to look like a soldier, and you always have to suffer a little." Ryan didn't care, he comforted a few words in a low voice, and asked again, "Have you finished the reshoots?"

"Well~ it ended a few days ago, and there weren't many." Nicole turned her head to look around, leaned into his ear and said softly, "Where is your room?"

"Uh..." Ryan scratched his face, where does he have a room, he has been living in a collective tent recently, "That..."

"Ryan!"

Suddenly Tom Hanks' voice came out from behind, and others came after him, "Oh, Nicole, so you're here, just in time, come quickly! Something big!"

Something big happened? What's the big deal? Can Tom Hanks be so anxious? Did something happen to Spielberg?

Many unreliable thoughts flashed in Ryan's head in an instant, he took Nicole's hand, followed behind Tom Hanks, and walked towards a temporary office of the drama manager.

Tom Hanks was extremely fast, almost running, obviously very anxious in his heart.

"What the hell happened, Tommy?" Nicole asked, stepping on her high heels, unable to pick up speed.

"It's Her Royal Highness."

Her Royal Highness? Ryan woke up in an instant. Although he didn't remember the exact time when the Princess of Wales had an accident, he roughly remembered it as the end of August.

Did what happened in the past really happen? Will Diana get away with it?

Just in Ryan's wild thoughts, he and Nicole followed Tom Hanks into the office, and saw a few people, including Spielberg, standing in front of the TV, in the picture. It is a special news program of TV 1... ()
