Chapter 250： Two things

"Ms. Schneider, as long as we don't lay fake snow directly on the lawn?"

Shirley Schneider saw what Eric thought of, a look of self-confidence, a slight hesitation in his expression, but he quickly said: "Yes, you can lay on the side of the road, but definitely not on the lawn. And after the shooting of the fake snow on both sides of the road is completed, it must be properly cleaned up."

When Eric spoke, he kept staring at the woman in front of him and saw the flash of the other person's eyes. The mind was more certain about certain speculations. If the other party was purely environmentally friendly, then he proposed feasible. The solution, this woman will not reveal a hesitant look.

Although I understood this in my heart, Eric said with a face in a tone of expression: "Well, then, if we put a layer of plastic cloth on the lawn mat and then lay fake snow on it, is this all right? ”

Shirley Schneider stunned in surprise, only slightly reluctantly nodded: "I think... maybe... yes."

"That's it." Eric said this, no longer paying attention to this woman. As Jeffrey made a look, the two men went farther, and Eric said to Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, the central park's play is suspended, and everyone is ready to prepare the next scene, my next A scene should be that Kevin escaped from the Plaza Hotel, just in the back lane by two thieves to catch the scene, let people arrange the scene there, our afternoon shooting can not stop."

Jeffrey just saw some unusual from Shirley Schneider's expression, and said to Eric: "Eric, News Corporation's US headquarters is in New York, and they must have deep connections in the local area. Would you like to contact Murdoch?"

"If you just go out and find Murdoch to help, it will let him see us. What's more, Murdoch is not a philanthropist." Eric shook his head and said: "And. "The devil is 2 "It also involves the interests of Fox Films. If we can't solve this problem in the end, Fox will definitely take the initiative, and we don't have to take the initiative to send people."

Jeffrey smiled and said: "It's still a thoughtful one, then I am going to buy plastic film. However, I don't think it will take much longer. We don't have to change the scene at all."

Eric pointed to the men and women who were lying on the lawn. "There are people here today, we don't want to film, I am worried that they will deliberately create conflicts. Like the one that happened when I didn't come. Just like things, once something goes wrong, it will be even more troublesome to solve. So I still have to change the scene temporarily. Right, have reporters who have just been in the media come?"

Jeffrey didn't think that Eric would ask this question. He thought about it: "There seems to be a few, but they just took some pictures far away, and after being driven away by our staff, they left. ”

"It seems that the trouble has just begun." Eric snorted and said to Jeffrey: "You arrange it first. Then come back to the hotel with me. I think you have more important things to do in the afternoon."

"That's okay." Jeffrey nodded and hurried to perform Eric's account.

Jeffrey left. Eric asked the staff for a camera, took some pictures of the protesters lying on the lawn, and then asked Allen to take it out.

After nearly an hour, Jeffrey returned to the hotel where the crew was staying, and Eric handed him a stack of photos.

"What is this?" Jeffrey looked up in disbelief and looked up and asked.

“Just in case,” Eric said: “Don't you find out? The so-called environmental organization suddenly appeared in a simple purpose. We used to shoot a few scenes on some roads with vegetation. The traces of these people. In the last week, we filmed the scenes of Central Park. They appeared."

When Jeffrey heard Eric's words, he quickly understood it. This is obviously someone who wants to delay the shooting progress of "Little Ghosts 2", and it is more troublesome than the one that comes in at the beginning.

Central Park has a very important position in the minds of New Yorkers. Therefore, if today’s crew shoots, things that have been resisted by environmental organizations are exposed, and people who have ulterior motives make up the facts, and deliberately exaggerate the raw materials of artificial snow. The danger of magnesium sulphate on the vegetation in Central Park, then, under the public protest, the shooting of Central Park will certainly usher in greater resistance, and even the New York City government has to give a reasonable reason in the crew to calm the public’s concerns. Before the program, directly intervene to prevent the filming of the "Little Ghost 2" crew.

The filming period of "Little Ghost 2" is calculated on a daily basis, and now it is at the last minute. If it is delayed by such a slap, it will delay for a few days, then the corresponding one will move all over the body. Many things in the original plan have to be put off.

Moreover, even if it is impossible to modify the script to remove the Central Park scene, because all the previous shootings, the plot is interlocking, and even a lot of Kevin shot from the Central Park exit, if modified, Then a lot of materials taken in the past will be scrapped. If you want to make up the film, maybe "Little Ghost 2" can only be postponed until Christmas.

The more Jeffrey wants to worry, the photo in his hand asks Eric: "You said, who is messing up this time?"

Eric picked up a movie guide that he had just bought, referring to the movie schedule listed on the page: "The game of "The Devil's Home 2" is scheduled for November 17, if we are delayed because of some trouble. The release period is good for movies that are released during this time, so we don't know who is messing up."

Jeffrey took the newspaper and looked at it. On the 17th of November alone, there were seven or eight films, including Warner’s "Deadly Weapon 2", which was postponed from the summer file to the Thanksgiving stage in order to avoid the "Dark War". Paramount is a Christmas comedy "Harlem Nightclub" starring Eddie Murphy, followed by Universal's "Back to the Future 2" in the next two days.

Eric said a bit heavy: "I saw it, several major movie companies have movies released during this period. During Thanksgiving, the total weekly box office is about 100 million US dollars, so if "Little Ghost 2" is postponed Other films will be able to separate up at least $30 million in box office shares that belonged to "Little Ghosts 2". Of course, according to the 28th law, you can see that the major films of the major companies are the most divided, so their The suspicion is also the biggest. But we don’t have the time and energy to entangle the matter. Even if we find out, it will not help us. The only thing we have to do is to do everything we can to complete the film on time."

Jeffrey put down the newspaper and thought that this opponent might be the giants like Warner or Universal. Then the fireflies did not have much power in front of these companies. Hesitated for a moment and said: "So, Eric, really. Don't you know Fox?"

Eric thought about it, or shook his head again: "For the time being, look at the situation tomorrow, I am sure that tomorrow we will report on the damage caused by artificial snow to the Central Park environment."

"What should I do now?" Jeffrey asked, he had not encountered such a thing before.

"Two things," Eric apparently thought about it long ago, erecting three fingers: "First, Central Park is currently under the management of the Central Park Preservation Committee. You donate money to the committee in the name of fireflies. Um... It’s 500,000, so you can guarantee the greatest extent that once there is a public opinion storm, the other party will speak to us.”

After saying this, Eric handed those photos to Jeffrey and said: "Second, that's it. You can contact as many local newspapers as possible in New York, and we will disclose the protests we encountered today. Go out and let them help out some reports, focusing on our efforts to maintain the environment of Central Park. Also, we need to find one or two related professionals to explain in detail that magnesium sulfate heptahydrate does not cause vegetation. Hazard, even the fact of a chemical fertilizer."

"Eric, will 500,000 not be too much?" Jeffrey asked weakly, and he still had some reluctance to send such money in vain.

Eric took a look at his forehead and solemnly said: "Jeffrey, you have to understand the current situation. Once things change, "Little Ghost 2" can't be completed on time, it is not a loss of 500,000 US dollars. Moreover, the production budget of "Little Ghost 2" originally planned to be 25 million US dollars is expected to have some balance, so the 500,000 is even better in the production cost."

Jeffrey finally nodded. "Okay, I understand. Also, because the filming plan is temporarily changed, the shooting in the afternoon may be delayed by one hour. After all, it is necessary to communicate with the relevant streets."

"I know, wait until I will arrange it in person, you will do your thing."

Jeffrey picked up the photos taken by Eric and left in a hurry.

Perhaps it was a dream to do a full set of thoughts. In the afternoon, the members of the environmental organization came over again. Although he still points to the practice of laying artificial snow on the crew, and even provokes a few words from time to time, he is no longer forced to lie on the ground to stop the filming of the crew, as in Central Park.

Eric also issued a severe warning to the crew members at noon. No matter how provocative these people are, they must not be in conflict with each other, because doing so is equal to just falling into the trap of the other party. (To be continued)
