Chapter 203： Actor partner

As early as the shooting of "Schindler's List" was over, Steven Spielberg made up his mind to create his own film company, and soon found a partner, he and David Geffen and Jeffrey. ? Katzenberg co-founded DreamWorks, ambition to make it a new Hollywood highlight.

DreamWorks is completely different from Jenkins Films. The latter started out as an account-sharing cooperation, and its future development is still an account-sharing cooperation. Ryan did not have the idea of ​​breaking the monopoly of the seven major film companies, while the former has been aimed at the position of Hollywood giants from the day it was founded Away.

After more than a year of establishment, DreamWorks was not eager to start its own production plan. The Big Three are all human beings and understand the importance of laying a solid foundation.

In the second half of 1995, Steven Spielberg received a package from Australia. The signature was Ryan Jenkins, the super genius who had disappeared from public view for a long time.

The things in the package are not complicated, a book, a script, a stack of setting drawings.

After watching it, Spielberg thought about it a little, and she ran aground on "Broken Lock Rage", which had not yet begun preparations, and changed the first DreamWorks movie to "Cat and Mouse Game."

DreamWorks needs a successful pioneering work. Whether it is the former best-seller or Ryan Jenkins's script, it is so in line with his appetite, and the recommendations are very pertinent, although it has to share the accounts with Jenkins Pictures. Cooperation, but Spielberg still selected the movie, and after contacting Tom Hanks, he started busy preparatory preparations.

"Ryan, I noticed this book a long time ago. I didn't expect you to start it earlier." Spielberg looked at the young man in front of him. He was much taller than himself, the ignorant teenager when he first met. Growing up, "Tell me the truth, Ryan, have you planned for this role long ago?"

"Stephen, you are still so wise." Ryan complimented him jokingly. "you can say so."

This is the old Ontario Airport in California. After some refurbishment, it has become the Miami International Airport from the outside. The filming crew of "Cat and Mouse Game" will officially start here.

"Excuse me, did I miss something?"

Outside the lounge, there was a sincere voice, and Tom Hanks walked in, "Hi, Ryan, it's been a long time since I saw you."

"Tommy. Your fattening is very successful." Ryan gave him a light hug.

Tom Hanks' appearance changed drastically. A lot fatter than Forrest Gump. If it weren't for the iconic bun face, it could be regarded as a blessed middle-aged uncle.

"I remember someone said that if you lose your IQ, you can surpass him in weight." The three said hello. Tom Hanks sat down, "If you want to capture a genius, you must pay some price."

Three people laughed at the same time, they will form the core lineup of this movie.

"Ryan, I have always owed you a thank you. There is no Forrest Gump recommended by you..." Tom Hanks said very solemnly, "There is no such thing as my second best actor, Golden Man."

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

The 95 Oscars were the same as before. His "Forrest Gump" swept the awards ceremony. "Shawshank's Redemption" once again became a tragedy, Tom Hanks won the second best actor.

Of course, if there is no accident or a breakthrough performance, the best actor Oscar will be insulated from Tom Hanks.

"Well, gentlemen. You should go make-up." Spielberg urged after checking the time.

After changing into a neat Pan Am pilot uniform, Ryan walked out of the temporarily rented old airport, vaguely able to see the periphery of the shooting location, gathering many reporters, and occasionally flashing lights.

Various styles of vintage cars from the 1960s filled the wide roads in front of the airport. The extras and road signs that acted as the background were also changed to suit the costumes of that era. A sprinkler drove slowly by, drenching the ground. A wet slice.

"Ryan, many people will envy you."

The director of photography is Jaminz Kaminsky, who is an important member of Spielberg's team, and came over to joke Ryan at this time.

"Actually, I envy Mr. Frank Abagonel even more."

Seeing the fashionable beauties dressed up by the group of flight attendants, Ryan could only shook his head. The first shot of the boot was his escape from the Miami International Airport under the cover of a group of fake flight attendants.

This group of girls are also highly professional actors. After walking several scenes with Ryan, and after two simple test shots, the official filming of "Cat and Mouse Game" kicked off.

"The first act of the seventy-seventh scene, now begins!"

With the shout of Spielberg's assistant, the scene was silent for a moment.

A red and white luxury RV parked in front of the airport lobby, and several flight attendants in blue uniforms filed out. Ryan was wearing a straight pilot uniform, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and two blond hairs. The tall, blue-eyed girl walked into the hall unhurriedly.

Entering the hall, he pushes the two sexiest and beautiful flight attendants to the forefront without a trace, to attract people’s attention, but he quietly falls behind, even if he is in danger, his face is still full of confidence.

The agents passing by, the policemen guarding the main roads of the airport, the plainclothes that shuttled back and forth, it seemed that even the soul had been hooked away by the young and beautiful girls, and they didn't notice that the felon they were looking for was mixed among these flight attendants.

"Cut, over."

Although this was the team leader's shot, it was not too difficult, and Spielberg's voice soon came from behind the main camera.

"You look great, Ryan."

Tom Hanks has changed his agent’s suit and is wiping his glasses in his hands. He joked, "Now it’s time for us to play a cat and mouse game."

"God, what I have to face is the two best actor winners of Orcas..." Ryan deliberately used an exaggerated tone. "I hope that when the movie is released, the audience will not think of me as a crappy Boy Mao."

"Then it depends on your performance." Spielberg said suddenly, "Ryan, I still remember your performance when filming "Schindler's List". It was so amazing."

"Actually, we are all waiting to see the two of you guys..." Jaminz Kaminsky yelled from a distance, which caused many people to start booing.

The crew quickly moved to the ascending passage of the airport. After the various departments were ready, Spielberg made a gesture.

"The first act of the eighty-fifth scene begins!"

In the empty passage, Frank, played by Ryan, dressed in a uniform and carrying a suitcase, strode towards the hopeful freedom, but his face lacked the confidence of the past, with a slightly disturbed expression, he slipped his hand into his trouser pocket. .

"How did you do it?"

Behind him came the voice of the familiar agent. He could only turn around awkwardly. Although Agent Carl was asking questions, there was no doubt on his face, "How did you pass the Louisiana Bar Exam, Frank?"

"What are you doing here?" The voice was abnormally guilty, "I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble."

"If you go back to Europe, you will definitely die in jail!" Agent Carl's words are more of an advice, like the elders are teaching the younger ones, "Frank, if you want to escape from the United States, we will send you to Atlanta. Prison for 50 years!"

"I know."

Frank made up his mind. The desire for freedom overwhelmed everything. He walked forward without looking back. Agent Carl behind was still talking, his words obviously shaken Frank's determination.

"Why are you helping me?" Frank didn't look back.

"You're just a child." Agent Carl's words pointed straight to Frank's heart.

"I am not your child."

He was obviously angry because Agent Carl lied to him. It feels too bad that no one can trust him, but Carl did help him. Frank finally stopped and hesitated looking at the boarding pass in his hand. .

"Cut!" Spielberg yelled to stop, "Ryan, I did a great job before, but the hesitation and hesitation here should be aggravated. Also, I hope Frank and Carl can show a kind of The strange relationship between father and son, and the attitude should be gentler. Next, let's try this effect."

Filming has never been smooth sailing. The inspiration from the director on the scene and the sudden performance of the actors may change the original filming plan. It is only just beginning. It is not only the actors who need to find the status, but also the director Spielberg. .

The rivalry between Ryan and Tom Hanks in the movie is undoubtedly the biggest attraction, and Spielberg needs to find a suitable rhythm for the two.

This scene was filmed seven times in succession Sometimes it was Ryan who needed adjustment, and sometimes it was Tom Hanks who needed adjustment. When Spielberg shouted out'great', the whole shooting scene broke out. There was enthusiastic applause, and the two men's Biao drama definitely deserved their applause.

Although this is an old airport, it is impossible for the crew to rent too long. After Ryan and Hanks found a tacit understanding, Spielberg immediately accelerated the shooting speed, and the fast-paced shooting also mobilized the work of the entire crew. Power, greatly improving efficiency.

"Ryan Jenkins's new film is filming, and it's a live show with Tom Hanks..."

The crew quickly released a variety of news, and news about the film also began to flood the entertainment sections of major newspapers and tabloids.

"After two years of silence, Ryan Jenkins finally stood on his stage. A genius from the 90s plays a genius from the 1960s. This is a collision across time and space..."

"In front of two-time Oscar actor Tom Hanks, what kind of performance will Ryan grow up is worth looking forward to."

Hype and publicity are always an indispensable means for a heavily invested film. ()
