Chapter 592： Internal preview

Chapter 592

Many years later, Ryan, who was already a coveted year, once again came to the Normandy Memorial Cemetery, which buried 120,000 lives, and stroked the name on the white tombstone that made him unforgettable, as if he had returned to the same year.

The sound of the waves around the landing boat was like the scream of the soldiers in the heart of the war before the war. The habitual trembling fingers unscrewed the aluminum kettle, and Miller’s captain slammed a sip of water. His deputy also put a mass of chocolate into his mouth. Everyone was there. Try to keep yourself calm.

As the helmsman was about to land, Captain Miller and his deputy, Hovat, began to scream again and again to pay attention to the soldiers' landings. However, these words did not seem to have any effect. The hatch opened and the machine gun was rushed. The sweeping sound immediately caused a large number of soldiers who had not yet responded in the cabin.

This kind of violent scene that did not give any room for any buffer immediately brought a lot of sighs to the audience in the screening room. The camera that kept the camera moving constantly gave the illusion of being immersed.

The next picture is the tension of the heart.

Some people struggled to jump off the sea, but they were hit by bullets, and they never came out of the water. Someone struggled to the shore, but they were not close to the beach, but they fell on the way. Some people dragged and injured. The comrades-in-arms, after the sound of the guns, found that there were only half of the bodies in their hands...

Eric saw that a senior woman in the issuing department, sitting not far from the left hand, had already held her eyes in the face, and everyone else showed a dignified look.

Katherine blinking at the side of the eye, the woman's fingers clutched the armrests tightly, and the mood was obviously not easy.

After the 20-minute Normandy landing battle ended, Eric clearly felt that everyone in the auditorium was greatly relieved as the camera cut into the mailing room. Some people seemed to want to be successful. The scene of the war applauded. But soon realized that the film of this subject is not suitable for such a reaction, so it was put down.

Eric looked at Catherine without relaxing. Patted her hand and sighed and said: "Would you like to go out and walk?"

This is the first internal screening after the final rescue of Save the Ryan. Catherine shook her head. "Is this not good?"

Eric reached out and drew straight down and whispered softly: "Your back is so straight, it is blocking the sight of others."

Catherine’s mood was already very good. I heard Eric’s slightly joking words and relaxed a lot. I felt Eric directly pulled her hand and wanted to pull up and leave. Catherine quickly broke free, but The whole person has already left the seat. I just walked out of the auditorium with Eric.

The screening room was on the first floor of the Firefly Studios Administration Building. The two left the screening room and closed the door to isolate the sound of the movie. The surroundings immediately quieted down.

Because it is Saturday, although there are still many crews working on the studio, there are not many people working overtime in the administrative building. Eric puts his hand in his pocket and looks at his black leather jacket and jeans. The slender Catherine said, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee in my office? We have seen it many times anyway. Wait until they finish watching us."

Catherine dared to stand alone with the little man who always made his mind confused. He pointed to the cement ramp outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window and said, "Let's go outside."

"ok." Eric took the lead in taking the lead.

The campus of the Prea Vista Studios is generally rectangular in the northeast, parallel to the Bellona Canal flowing through the city of Culver.

Eric looked out of the administrative building, his eyes looked back at Catherine with some worries, and found a topic: "Catherine, I have been very curious, the 'a' in the name of the Bellona can next to the studio is What do you mean, you know?"

Because of his deep understanding of classical oil painting, Catherine is very familiar with some of the Western mythological characters involved. Although some absent-minded, but did not hesitate to blurt out and debut: "That is a tall and beautiful woman in ancient Rome..." After saying this, the woman immediately realized what. I took a look at Eric, but there was no anger in my eyes. But with a hint of shame that is not easy to detect.

Eric smiled and said: "I think the name Bellona is very good, it is very suitable for you, the name Catherine is too popular."

"Do you know that Bellona's female goddess Eño in Greek mythology is a very **** and cruel woman? After the legendary Trojan massacre, Troy blood flowed into the river, but she drunk and drunk the city's blood. ""

Eric unanimously spread his hand: "This kind of thing, not as deep as the research, I have never heard of such an unpopular branch story."

Catherine smiled with a faint smile and said, "You first provoked this topic."

"Well, my fault," Eric shook his head with a smile: "That's something else, what are you going to do next?"

Catherine said: "A break for a while, walk around, and then come back to work, remember Becky, she said that Columbia University will hold a pop art exhibition next week, I plan to see."

Eric is only vaguely aware that some pop art is a representative of popular culture, and nothing has been studied.

"Maybe I have to go to New York recently, will you still live in the hotel in Soho?"

Catherine remembered the time when the two of them spent the same time at the 60th Soho Hotel three years ago. Everything seemed to be clear yesterday. It was impossible to say: "Maybe, but also... maybe live in Becky's house."

“It’s not good to disturb others. I have a high-rise apartment at the exit of Sixth Avenue. I can see Central Park. Maybe you can live there.”

Catherine stopped and stared at Eric for a few seconds. She saw that the little man had no guilty look. He didn’t feel embarrassed: "You, you have to live, let me go to the hotel." So no one bothers."

Eric’s face still has a faint smile, and the tone is calm: “OK, call me after you stay, maybe we can be a neighbor.”

Catherine felt that she had an impulse to flee, how could this little **** be so stalking. It’s too rogue.

The woman picked up and picked it up in a panic, and finally thought of a move to 'transfer the topic' and said: "When the movie is finished, you let me save what the props are to do, and those things are placed in the Irish warehouse. Is there a small custodial fee every month?"

In order to shoot "Save the Ryan Ryan", the crew prepared thousands of sets of World War II costumes, as well as a number of landing crafts, off-road vehicles, and other 701 pieces of props, but these things will be spent With tens of millions of dollars lost, it is certainly impossible for Eric to deal with it as many movies do after the film is finished.

What's more, he has a better way of recycling in his heart.

Although watching the woman awkwardly shifting the topic is very interesting, Eric did not continue to provoke Catherine. If you scare away, it’s not good: “I’m going to use these things to make a mini-series that reflects World War II movies, and it’s the same story as Ryan’s story. It reflects the fact that after the Normandy landing in World War II, a company went deep into the enemy’s back. The story. Catherine, you have done so much preparation before, the history of World War II is definitely deeper than I know, are you interested in being the producer of this mini-drama?"

Catherine asked: "The cost of a war drama should be high. How much do you plan to shoot?"

"With these props and Ryan's production team, the production cost of each episode will not exceed 10 million. I plan to make ten episodes first."

"That is 100 million dollars. "Ryan" only spent 70 million. I am still worried about whether I can recover the cost. You have to use 100 million to shoot TV series." Catherine shook her head. Then he laughed and looked at Eric. "I almost forgot, you are now the richest man in the United States, and there is no shortage of money."

Eric has recently become accustomed to the words of people around him, and smiled and said: "I am the richest man in the United States, but not a fool. Rest assured, "Ryan" will definitely cause a wave of war films after the release, and take the opportunity to launch such a A mini-drama, there is no problem in recovering costs through multi-channel operation. I just want to buy a TV network, and using such a mini-play can also enhance the brand effect of the TV network."

Catherine shook her head. "I don't understand this. But I have heard some news. I heard that your negotiations with Ab have broken down?"

Eric said: "There is no breakdown. It is only at the last minute. Just look at the ab side and refuse to take another step. If it goes well, I will go to New York next week to participate in the signing ceremony."

"Today is the 12th, the Oscars ceremony is held on the 21st," Catherine said, suddenly I don't know if it is easy or lost. If this is the case, Eric must be in New York for a few days and will have to come back: "I heard They invited you to present the best film award this time, which was rare in the past."

Because of the butterfly effect, the "Schindler's List" that appeared this year was one year ahead of schedule. This year belongs to the Oscars. The famous big director did not have a personal work.

For the sake of ratings, at the beginning of the year, the Oscar Organizing Committee invited the Eric to participate in the awards ceremony. At first, they hoped that Eric would be the first to play the award ceremony, but in the third In the month, after the release of the new issue of Forbes magazine, the other party changed his mind and hoped that Eric would finally play and award the best film of the heavyweight. This kind of award is generally awarded by the respected Hollywood celebrity, but with Ai Rick’s current strength and fame in Hollywood, the award for the best film, no one would have felt that he was not qualified.

"Speaking of Oscar, I am going to hold a warm-up party at Sunset Tower Hotel tonight. Kapoor calls me to show up, your brokerage contract is also im, do you want to go with me?"

Catherine shook her head. "No, I plan to go home and rest early."

Eric saw Catherine's expression flashing through the flash of heart, but then refused, pondering, and thought of the possible reasons. Not only Catherine, because of the cooperation with Firefly Film, Cameron’s brokerage contract is also in im, Catherine obviously does not want to meet Cameron, Eric will not say anything.

The two seriously walked in the park and took a cup of coffee in the coffee shop. They felt that "Save the Ryan" was about to finish playing before they walked toward the administrative building.

When entering the auditorium, the fluorescent lamps in the auditorium were already lit. The staff of the Xuanfa department who participated in the internal audit were whispering, and I saw Eric and Catherine coming in. The people stopped chatting and silenced for a moment. After that, everyone gathered in the palm of your hand.

Because the negotiations were suspended, Kasenberg, who had just returned from New York to participate in the internal audition, said: "Ms. Catherine, congratulations on shooting a great movie. If you don’t see it, I am absolutely not. I will believe it."

Catherine knew that Kasenberg's words didn't say everything. His meaning must be that he would never believe that this was a woman. However, Catherine did not mind, smiling and shaking hands with Kasenberg, said: "Thank you for your affirmation, Jeffery."

Kasenberg nodded and then said to Eric: "However, Eric, this film has two very important issues, one is the length of time, 170 minutes, nearly three hours, I suggest it is best to Edit it. In addition, it is the rating problem. If the film cuts out the **** part, it will get the pg-13, but it will lose the authenticity of the scene, but if it is not modified, the r level is definitely of."

Eric knows Kasenberg's personality very well. As a workaholic, although Kasenberg has a lot of executives who are sociable, he often goes straight to work, so he doesn't mind Kasenbo. Gee's confession, said: "Jeffrey, this film is a four-and-a-half-hour rough cut, I have done the most pruning with Catherine, I think the market is 170 minutes before the end of the market. I think it is impossible to shorten. "Terminator" has proved that the r-level film does not mean that the box office failed, so there is nothing to care about. This is a war film after all."

Kasenberger also realized this. After hearing the confirmation from Eric, he did not continue to entangle. As a professional filmmaker, he also felt that the film's story was so compact that it could not be modified. However, he was only in a professional instinct and offered his opinion to Eric.
