"Jenny, how is it?" When he came to the office specially prepared for his creation, Nathan saw the beautiful and beautiful Jenny. The typewriter in front of her had stopped working, and in front of her, there was a thick pile of Manuscript.
There was no word processing software in this era. It was all made by manual typing. Jenny's eyes were bloodshot. Nathan said, and handed Jenny a large envelope in his hand.
"It's dried, and return it to you. I blamed me for what happened last time." Nathan said.
Jenny opened the pocket of the envelope and saw the clothes inside, her ears turned red involuntarily. This man's performance was really cute.
"I've finished playing. I read the script in detail, Captain Nathan, do you know? How much will it cost if you play according to your script?"
Top Aspiration is an unparalleled classic, this is because all its lenses are real.
Historically, in order to shoot this film, the U.S. Navy provided 3 aircraft carriers, and 5 squadrons and 8 special-class pilots in active service participated in the filming. This cost is absolutely astronomical. The air combat movies of later generations were mainly filmed by computer simulations and CG effects, which is simply not costly.
The lofty ambition has therefore become a classic in air combat movies.
"Investment is not what I care about. I just follow the order and write a script." Nathan said: "For the navy's conscription, no amount of investment is worth it. Anyway, there is no movie, and pilot training is normally consumed."
If you rely on the producers to perform, they will really lose them, but the U.S. Navy is not afraid, because the Navy has funds. Nathan doesn't need to consider this investment issue.
After speaking, Nathan saw Jenny biting her lip, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Hey, this is not your consideration, right?" Nathan said, "You are here to help me. Leave these things to the big people to consider."
Upon hearing this, Jenny finally spoke: "It is now a problem for me to consider. I have submitted your script. The navy executives are very satisfied. Therefore, appoint me as the producer of this project and I will organize it. For the entire production crew, I will hire directors, actors, and shooting locations, and I will choose Miramar Air Station."
"What? You have become a producer?" Nathan was also taken aback. At the beginning, he said that Jenny was her assistant and helped her plan the script. After she came, Jenny became a typist. God, become a producer
"Yes." Jenny said: "I think I have to consider the cost of shooting. In order to attract the audience, we will invite popular movie stars to play the heroine of this movie, and we will also invite big-name directors to direct. It takes a huge amount of money, and the amount of naval appropriation is a certain amount, so I ask you to help me think about how to reduce costs."
Historically, this film was foreign invested and supported by the Navy with full cooperation, but now, this promotional film has become a project of the US Navy itself, so they have to think too much.
Is the navy rich
of course not! The Vietnam War is coming to an end, and the domestic anti-war sentiment is high. Congress keeps getting stuck on the navy's neck. The navy is so slow to change the Tomcat fighter jets. To shoot this film, only a little money can be squeezed out.
Jenny has to consider various issues.
Now, her face is sad: "Nathan, you said, if we use the model to shoot, will we reduce the cost a lot?"
Shooting with a real camera is too wasteful. If you build a studio and use all models, you will save money.
Nathan shook his head helplessly: "If you don't want the movie to be like shit, then it's best not to use a model. To really capture the momentum of our naval aviation, you must use a real machine."
After that, Nathan continued: "Instead of reducing the cost of shooting, I think you might as well save some effort on asking stars and directors. Those big-name stars and directors are difficult to serve."
In a word, she is in Jenny's heart, but only with big-name celebrities and directors can she increase the sensational effect of her own films, which she firmly believes.
"Nathan, can you do me a favor?" Jenny said.
"Of course it's okay." Nathan replied, "I'm very relaxed these days anyway."
Nathan was banned from flying because of shooting in the air. During the banned period, it was quite boring. It would be very depressing to watch the Tomcat fighter take off every day without touching the joystick. It’s not bad to stay here for a few days with such a beautiful and lovely girl by my side.
"I want to visit Mr. Coppola, that's the famous director." Jenny said.
As a producer, Jenny needs to do a lot of things. Now in Hollywood, the most dazzling new star is Francis Ford Coppola. He was born in Detroit, USA in 1939. He is originally from Italy and studied at the University of California, Los Angeles. Department of Film and Drama, received a master's degree in film.
As a rookie, he is almost smooth sailing. He started making independent films in 1963. In 1970, his co-written "General Patton" screenplay won the American Oscar for Best Screenplay Award; in 1972, he directed "The Godfather" won the Best Picture Award.
"The Godfather" is a film that has achieved great commercial success, making Coppola one of the most high-profile young directors. In 1974, Coppola's "Dialogue" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival in France; in the same year, "The Godfather" (sequel) won 7 Oscars in the United States.
It can be said that the era belonging to Coppola is coming, especially in the second half of the 70s is almost the peak of his career.
Jenny is very thoughtful. She wants to invite Coppola to direct her own film, and in the name of Coppola, invite a group of famous actors.
For example, for the actress, Lisa Minnelli was invited to perform. When the poster goes out, it will definitely attract the attention of countless people!
Nathan shook his head. He didn't have to be a celebrity if he wanted to get a good impression from the audience. He was a famous director, and a certain star in the later generations who played pornographically would not be popular.
The point is to shoot with momentum and truly reflect the life of the navy, love, and exciting battles. This is the most important thing!
"You don't agree?" Jenny asked.
"No, I just feel it is a pity." Nathan said, "I still haven't convinced you, but I just go with you." (End of this chapter)
