Chapter 58 Crazy Director
  "Good morning, little Gilbert!" Sofia Coppola came to the set and greeted little Gilbert.

After getting familiar with it, Sofia Coppola directly called little Gilbert's name.

Little Gilbert noticed at a glance that there was a little girl following Sofia Coppola, and he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Sofia, who is this little sweetheart?"

Before Sofia Coppola could introduce you, the little girl took the initiative to extend her hand and said: "My name is not Sweetie, my name is Scarlett Johansson, you can call me Scarlett."

"Wow, hello, Scarlett!" Little Gilbert shook Scarlett Johansson's little hand.

Who knows that the little girl is not happy yet: "I am a princess, and I want to perform the knighthood ceremony."

If she was a messy person, little Gilbert would definitely be too lazy to talk to her, but with such a cute little girl, little Gilbert couldn't bear to refuse her.

So I made a knighthood ceremony to fulfill the little girl’s princess dream.

Sofia Coppola apologized: "Sorry, little Gilbert, this is Aunt Sloane's daughter.

Their family had just moved to Los Angeles, and Aunt Sloan asked me to take care of them. "

"It's okay," little Gilbert said. He looked at Scarlett Johansson who was looking around the set again, and said with a smile: "Scarlett, listen to Sister Sofia and don't run around. The set is very dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?" The little girl obviously didn't believe it: "Will it explode?"

Little Gilbert smiled mysteriously: "Of course..."

"Bang..." A huge explosion resounded throughout the set, and Scarlett Johansson, who had witnessed the working style of a Hollywood crew for the first time, was completely stunned.

The heads of the crew were buzzing. After little Gilbert decided to film the explosion scene, the crew was filled with this kind of noise every day, and they were all used to it.

Sophia secretly complained, a rookie who only knows how to explode.

Yes, in Sofia Coppola's eyes, little Gilbert is a rookie compared to her father.

But now that this newbie is so popular, she's being reviled by film critics, which Sofia can't understand.

She doesn't know what the selling point of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is, which has been bombarded all day long. Where is the selling point?
  Her father asked her to come and learn from him. Could it be that she wanted to learn how little Gilbert blew up props?
  She couldn't figure it out, but Sophia still completed all her work diligently and handled it in an orderly manner.

Seeing Scarlett Johansson's stunned look, Sofia thought the little girl was frightened.

So she quickly comforted her: "Sijia, are you scared? How about I find someone to take you home first?"

Who knew that Scarlett Johansson actually clapped her hands excitedly after reacting: "It's so exciting, so exciting. Sister Sofia, can you blow it up again?"

"Uh," Sofia was speechless. She didn't expect that the little girl actually liked to fry, just like little Gilbert.

Little Gilbert had no time to take care of the little girl. He took a loudspeaker and a walkie-talkie and moved the crew around.

"Durr, move camera three up, I need an overhead shot." Little Gilbert shouted to the lighting engineer again: "Sam, there is something wrong with your lighting. The tone is cooler and the colors are too bright. "

Throwing the horn to the assistant director Anne Burton, little Gilbert got on the bus in the middle of the set again.

He told Sandra Bullock, who plays the heroine, "Don't stare. Your facial lines are too strong. Be softer."

Sandra Bullock nodded quickly to show that she understood.

Little Gilbert said to the other temporary extras in the bus: "You are not stupid, don't look expressionless, make appropriate expressions."

All the extras were so excited that they didn't dare to take a breath and quickly expressed that they would perform well and they didn't want to be replaced.

Little Gilbert said to Naomi Watts again: "Naomi, you performed well, but restrain yourself, you are too much of a show-stealer."

Naomi Watts couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She was the only one who received praise.

As for Sandra Bullock's unfriendly glance, she didn't care, as long as little Gilbert felt good about it.

After finishing the play, little Gilbert got off the bus and waved Duer Randolph over: "I need a camera to shoot from the tire's perspective."

Dull Randolph made it clear: "I'll find someone to modify it right away..."

"Well," little Gilbert nodded, walked over to Keanu Reeves who was resting on the edge of the set, squatted down and talked to him: "Keanu, I need you to put on a serious look.

You're a cop, not a Chicago gangster, and you're not a rock star, you know that? "Keanu Reeves just hummed, not sure if he heard it.

But Keanu Reeves has always been in this state when he comes to the set. Fortunately, he did not violate the rules and did not come to the set after drinking or taking drugs.

In that case, it would be really difficult to handle!

In this type of film, the highlight is the thrilling action scenes and explosion scenes, and the actors' performances are secondary.

As long as the actor's performance reaches the standard line, little Gilbert will not ask for more.

The scene in the morning ended and the scene changed in the afternoon. The crew was going to shoot a bigger explosion scene.

"Scarlett, do you want to watch the house bombing this afternoon?" Little Gilbert asked during lunch.

The little girl, who had been itching for a long time, immediately nodded excitedly: "I want to go, I want to go..."

"Okay, I'll take you with me in the afternoon!" Little Gilbert touched the little girl's head, but Scarlett slapped her away.

In the afternoon, we arrived at a small town on the edge of Los Angeles. The crew just found a single-family house that was about to be demolished.

Little Gilbert walked around the house and said with satisfaction: "This location is good. Even if a Tomahawk missile falls, it will not affect the surrounding houses. It is far enough away."

Seeing the people in the pyrotechnics explosion team busy wiring, Sofia Coppola asked curiously: "Little Gilbert, why don't you use a remote control to detonate it, but use a wire to detonate it?"

Sofia Coppola was killed by other Hollywood movies.

Not to mention Hollywood movies, even Hong Kong movies have such a classic scene:
  The male protagonist presses the remote control, and there is an explosion behind him, with fire shooting into the sky, but the male protagonist does not look back at the explosion, leaving behind a handsome figure.

As the saying goes, a real man never looks back to see the explosion, but in reality this is not the case.

Little Gilbert explained: "Sophia, wireless remote controls are not safe. There are a lot of communication interferences in modern society.

Under the signal interference of wireless remote control detonation mode, there is a risk of explosion at any time.

Wire-controlled explosions are much safer and there is no risk of accidental explosions. Moreover, this time we are using military explosives, which must be safer. "

"What?" Sofia raised her voice and said in disbelief: "Military explosives?"

"Yes, military explosives." Little Gilbert nodded affirmatively.

Generally speaking, the explosives used by the crew for filming explode under pressure due to combustion, and are much less powerful than military explosives.

Therefore, in some explosion shots, if you want to create a larger explosion effect, you need to fill it with soil ash.

After detonating in this way, it will produce the effect of smoke and dust flying all over the sky, which has a good visual effect.

But if you are blowing up a real house, you must use high-performance military explosives, otherwise the house cannot be blown up.

After listening to little Gilbert explain the principle, Sophia was stunned: "Wouldn't Charles and Kane stop you?"

"This is the highlight of the movie, so they..." Little Gilbert didn't finish his words, he just spread his hands, but Sofia knew what little Gilbert meant.

She murmured: "Crazy people, all crazy people."

However, crazier scenes are yet to come.

　I changed the studio run by the protagonist to Cantaloupe Studio, which feels more in line with the title of the book.

　　It's been three rounds, and the tracking data is pretty good. Four rounds should be no problem.

　　If the PK does not go well and cannot reach Sanjiang, it should be on the shelves after the fourth round.

　　If you have any good movies you can recommend, I'll consider seeing if I can make them with the protagonist...

　　How about making "Cyberpunk 2077" into a movie? I really like this game, and the story is told quite well.
