Eric returned to his seat, and two minutes later, the shooting began again.

This rival scene lasts more than three minutes, and of course it is impossible to finish it in one go. Eric divided the three-minute scenes into seven story shots with an average of less than 30 seconds. For each shot, Eric strives to achieve perfection, so the number of NGs is far greater than other shots taken in the past few days.

Cruise and Hanks gradually seemed to realize something, and their requirements for their performance became increasingly strict. In the end, they were obviously competing. Sometimes when Eric felt that the effect was already OK, Cruise or Hanks would take the initiative to pick out the flaws in their performance and ask for a reshoot.

Eric is quite happy to see this situation. I don’t know when the two superstars will have to wait for next time to work together, and maybe there will be no chance to work together again. Therefore, Eric also wants to leave a perfect rivalry in this movie.

"Card……"

After NG again, Eric looked at the watch. From the last scene to the present for more than an hour, only five of them were completed in three minutes and seven storyboards, and there were also the last two most important Andy who lobbled for one minute and did not shoot.

But the time for get off work has come. Looking at Cruise and Hanks who are still sparkling, and Joe Percy, who has been waiting for nearly an hour to play the role of the inspector general of the Crime Team, Erick reminded: "It's time for get off work, two."

After Eric finished speaking, he looked at Cruise and Hanks with expectation. As an oriental, he had no disgust for overtime work, and even took it for granted. He also wanted to finish all the shots of the one-hour shift, so he hoped that the two of them would take the initiative to propose overtime to complete the shot.

But Eric found that he seriously underestimated the paranoia of Europeans and Americans about the eight-hour work system. When Eric said this, Cruise and Hanks, who were eager to try, both got out of the show. They stood up and smiled and shook their hands. There was a feeling of meeting opponents in their expressions. Then they said hello to Eric respectively, and began to pack up and plan to leave. They had no plans to work overtime from beginning to end.

Eric complained in his heart, but could only shruggle helplessly and announce that the crew would finish work.

Only then did Eric get out of his spare time and walk to Joe Percy: "Sorry, Joe, I let you wait for an hour in vain."

Joe Pesci shook his head without any mind and said in his unique voice: "It's nothing, Eric, I just watched the wonderful performance for an entire hour, and I'm a little worried that my performance will not be satisfactory."

"You don't have to worry about this at all. I think Hanks should be worried. I think he may be snatched by the role you play at any time. The lines and action design of your character are so funny."

"It's true, but I haven't been in comedy before. You know, the "Angry Bull" and "The Past of America" ​​that I've been in before, and the most recent "Angry Rescue" are not comedy."

"Joe, I think you are more suitable for comedy. Maybe after this movie, you will find your comedy talent. To be honest, you know "Home Imposses". When I was shooting this movie, I thought that the older stupid thief Harry was the most suitable actor to play the role."

Joe Percy widened his eyes slightly. He felt that Eric had no lie to him in this detail. That was "Home Imperials", and "Home Imperials" is about to exceed 300 million US dollars.

"Then, why..." Joe Percy gestured a meaningless gesture in disappointment. Of course, he understood what it means to miss "Hometown".

Eric understood what the other party meant, and he spread his hands helplessly and explained: "Because I couldn't afford you at that time, the budget for "Hometown Imperial" was too small."

"Maybe...you can try to invite me first."

"You know this is impossible. If I want you to offer a $20,000 salary to the Harry actor in the movie, you will definitely refuse without thinking."

Joe Percy understood that this was indeed the case. Although he was not a very famous actor, he had won the nomination for the best supporting actor. Unless he could predict it in advance, he would definitely not accept the 20,000 US dollars in compensation. Shaking his head, Joe Percy said: "This... is a pity."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't we have a chance to cooperate now?"

"This is really... Eric, when you mention this matter now, you completely want me to have a bad sleep tonight. I actually missed such a good opportunity."

"Everyone will actually miss thousands of opportunities in his life, so this is nothing. Go back and wash your face, brush your teeth and take a bath. If it really doesn't work, you'll have to drink a few sips of wine and forget it after a night's sleep." Eric patted BridgePessi's shoulder and comforted.

"How could it be forgotten?" Joe Percy rolled his eyes at Eric, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go back first, this is really..."

Seeing Joe Percy leaving with a look of loss, Eric began to regret telling the other party the news. He originally wanted to use this little thing to get close to Joe Percy.

I hope that Joe Pesci will not transform into Xianglin Sao for the next period of time, and repeatedly chant "I actually missed "The Little Owner"" or something.

After arranging everything, Eric really planned to leave, but at the door of the studio, he met Martin Bleist, the director of "Smelling the Fragrance", and the assistant behind the other party was holding a thick stack of file bags.

Eric looked at it and knew what was inside. After greeting him, Eric asked: "Martin, didn't you say that the list of alternatives will be determined the day after tomorrow? Why is it so fast?"

"Sorry, Eric, the original plan was indeed the day after tomorrow, but for various reasons, the screening was completed two days in advance. Al also wanted to turn on the computer as soon as possible, so I can only wait for you here."

"Why didn't Al come?" Eric asked curiously.

Martin explained: "Al has begun to figure out the role. He is adapting to the blind lifestyle habits these days and specifically told me not to disturb him."

Eric nodded in understanding, thought for a while, and pointed to a Passat parked not far from Martin: "Is that your car?"

Martin nodded.

"Then let's talk in the car. I'm going to go to Malibu, so will I send me there?"

"Of course it's OK."

Several people got into the car, Eric told the address, and Martin's assistant started the car.

In the back seat, Eric first disassembled the alternative list of one of the most important protagonists, middle school student Charlie Simmons.

Martin explained next to him: "Eric, these are all excellent young people who have passed two rounds of auditions. Because there are many middle school students, there are thirty alternatives in total. After you select the actors of Charlie Simmons, we can directly select a series of Charlie's classmates from the remaining list."

"Well," Eric pulled out a thick stack of information from the file bag and asked casually: "By the way, how about Miss Gabriel Anwar, who I introduced to the past?"

Martin felt that the petite girl might have something to do with Eric, so he explained in detail: "After her role was confirmed, the girl returned to the UK a few days ago, but she came back soon. She is currently living in a hotel on Wilsey Avenue. By the way, when you were unconscious that day, she also visited you. Eric, do you need the address of her hotel?"
