~： Two hundred and forty-seven - the gorilla that beat the handjob

"The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the American-French alliance during the War of Independence. It was designed by the famous French sculptor Bartodi after ten years. It represents the American people. free will..."

On the first day the crew came to New York, Wayne took off his long-standing suit, put on jeans and a baseball jacket, dressed in a casual outfit, and accompanied Naomi Watts around the Big Apple.

Like the tourists around them, several people listened to the explanation of a tour guide not far away.

From the moment they got off the plane, Naomi Watts, together with Nina, began to urge him to change his clothes and go out together to go around the world financial center.

The Australian girl also wore a mask and a big sunglasses to prevent people from being recognized when shopping and causing unnecessary trouble.

A few people are like watching flowers on a horse, starting from the Statue of Liberty, then the neon advertisements in Times Square, various luxury stores on Fifth Avenue, and the urban forest in Central Park. It can be said that they have no clear goals at all. Wherever you look, you leave.

The only landmark that interested Wayne and has been watching for a long time is the twin towers that are still standing.

"Want to go up and have a look?" Naomi Watts watched him stop and stared at the building in a daze, and said, "I heard that the Twin Towers are one of the tallest buildings in the world, and on the top floor can take the entire New York City. We have a panoramic view of the scenery, let's go up and take a look?"

"Forget it." Wayne shook his head, took one last look, and turned to leave. "I don't like this place. Nina and you have bought clothes and bags. Let's go back if we want."

After the two women walked into Fifth Avenue today, in a short time, Sergey's body was covered with bags, and it was not until they were satisfied that they started a random tour of the Big Apple.

Originally, he felt that New York did not suit him, and the way he came here was so sinister. Although it was only 1994, he knew that the World Trade Center was also sinister, and he really didn't want to go up there. , after all, I saw that video on the Internet in my previous life.

"We can look back now and go to the Empire State Building"

"Why?" Naomi Watts put her arm around him and looked at him suspiciously with her head tilted.

Shrugging his shoulders, Wayne didn't explain his bad taste. He actually wanted to tell the Australian girl that in the future, standing on the top of the Empire State Building, there will be a gorilla with a hand-pulling machine, which is very fateful with you!

The Empire State Building is located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It was established in 1930, and the Statue of Liberty, which they have just seen, is called the two landmarks of the Big Apple City, especially the lights at the top of the building, which can be said to be world-famous.

The four people got on the elevator and went directly to the observation deck on the 86th floor. Wayne put his hands in his pockets and looked in the direction of Long Island. But I started to think about whether to get the gorilla out in advance for Naomi Watts.

If because of my own butterfly, I lost this woman's screen classic wings, then it should really be regarded as a big regret.

Still the fundamental problem, the effects. Hollywood in this era still adheres to the philosophy that as long as it can be solved during shooting, it will never be delayed to post-production.

Because the cost of modeling and shooting is definitely far less than that of CG computer synthesis, but with the rapid development of technology, this situation will gradually reverse after the arrival of the digital age.

At that time, film control and real scene control will become alternative directors.

In this age, to make the gorilla that beats the handkerchief, Wayne did some calculations in his heart. The best way is to shoot with all green cloth, and then combine it with computer CG to show the minimum screen effect. .

And this cost, the basic unit must be calculated in tens of millions of dollars, because no one has played this way yet, and it is absolutely unknown how much the specific production cost will be.

"You're distracted again, Wayne." Naomi Watts stretched out her white fingers and stroked his face with concern.

"It's alright, I just suddenly had an idea about the Empire State Building. I'll tell you when I sort it out."

Feeling the cold fingers on his face, Wayne sighed in his heart, ready to go back to sort out the script framework first, then make a project plan, and then hand it over to Warner Bros. to operate after calculating the specific costs.

If the feasibility is relatively high, it should not be a problem to find the big fat man in New Zealand in advance.

"That's Long Island, do we want to go over there?" Nina asked, pointing in the direction he was looking.

The assistant lady went to college in the Big Apple City, so she was relatively familiar with it. She led the way in all the places they visited today.

Wayne nodded indifferently. "Ok, go there and see and we'll go back to the hotel, there's a lot of work waiting for me."

Long Island is not far from Manhattan, it is a very famous vacation destination, and it also attracts many wealthy people to settle here. Especially after the Second World War, a large number of Jewish middle-class and rich people like to settle here, and many people come from Jerusalem.

After walking around in Winter Park, Naomi Watts pulled Wayne playfully and walked into the roadside dessert shop. There are many children in the store. This kind of place is also the best place to forget the troubles of work and return to the innocence of children.

Wayne sat in the corner seat, and Naomi Watts went to buy some Black Forest cakes and brought back four glasses of juice.

Looking at the happy children around him tasting desserts, he couldn't help but smile and taste the cake, but it was obviously not to his taste, so he threw it back on the table after only one bite.

"What's wrong? Don't like it?"

The Australian girl and Nina both glanced at him, and then looked at Sergey, the Russian bear, who also put the cake back on the table.

"It's too sweet, why is this thing so sweet." Sergey gave a pertinent evaluation on behalf of the two men. Wayne also shrugged, what makes a child happy may not be for an adult.

The first day I came to New York was spent on a tour. Early the next morning, Wayne walked around the hotel with heavy steps and against the occasional snowflakes falling from the sky.

The weather here seems to have suddenly cooled down, and in the past few years, he has been busy with work and rarely has time to exercise.

After running through the hotel door and taking the elevator back to her suite, Nina had already put breakfast on the table, reached out to take the hot towel handed over by Naomi Watts, wiped her face, and ate breakfast , while flipping through today's newspaper.

The above are almost all forward-looking comments about the awards season. The entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times has made a box office summary of Hollywood in the past year.

On this, Wayne's "Joker's Soul" is undoubtedly on the annual list, ranking third in the 1994 box office chart. The first is undoubtedly "Forrest Gump", which has received the largest receipt this year. The total box office has reached 330 million US dollars, and it has also achieved Tom Hanks' unparalleled popularity.

The second is produced by Disney Animation Studio. The "Lion King" released by Bowei's subsidiary has achieved a North American box office of 312 million US dollars. Wayne knows that this is the last glory of Disney Animation Studio. From then on, Hollywood animation feature film, Will enter Joe's Pixar era.

And "The Clown" followed with a box office of 292 million US dollars. This horror film that he tinkered with in advance is definitely one of the biggest surprises this year.

In addition to the annual box office charts, the Los Angeles Times also reviewed the film.

"This year's summer fight was extremely fierce, and great films like "Forrest Gump" were born, as well as classic animated films like "The Lion King", but the biggest surprise in 1994 was an American horror film "Joker" Return to the Soul", this film also completely changed people's prejudice against horror films.

As early as 1993, Wayne Greenberg, together with his "Joker", began to be worshipped by movie fans around the world. Movie fans walked into the theater again and again to watch this unique cartoon character, and worked tirelessly. Analyze every detail in the film.

This year's "The Clown Returns to the Soul" swept the entire September schedule, won four consecutive weekend box office championships, and once again created a movie-watching frenzy among young people..."

"I read it with such gusto, I knew it was a compliment to you as soon as I guessed it!" Naomi Watts' head suddenly stuck out in front of the newspaper, glanced at the reports in the entertainment section, pouted and sat back in his seat. .

Wayne put the newspaper back on the table, took a gulp of milk, and said, "Everyone likes to hear nice things, and I'm a layman too, Nami."

"That little pet of yours is here, don't you want to meet?" Naomi Watts's tone was sarcastic and sarcastic The filming will start tomorrow, and she has few scenes. , if you don't hurry, she will leave New York soon. "

These words made him stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the assistant. Nina made a 'Charlize Theron' mouth shape to him, and he reacted.

"Nami, respect women."

Anyway, Wayne's cheeks are thick enough, and he didn't hear the Australian beauty's masculine tone.

Today, all the actors will arrive in New York one after another, and the filming here will officially start tomorrow.

As December is about to enter, he plans to try to get all the footage and materials within a month and a half, leaving enough time for post-production work.

We have to cut out a qualified trailer before the Super Bowl, and the release time must also be considered. The preliminary judgment must be put in the beginning of the summer season in May. The specific weekend to start the painting depends on the completion time of the production.
