Chapter 70: Preparations and Auditions

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!

Top Gun is allowed to shoot after the Pentagon’s green light, and the plane inside will be provided by the military.

After receiving this good news, Leicester thanked Lieutenant General Locke who spoke to him on the phone, "Thank you for your support from the military."

"Lesterole, I wonder if you will direct this "Top Gun"?" Lieutenant General Locke asked with skepticism.

Lester, who recently won the live short film award, directed a short film and was a young child, and Lieutenant General Locke still thought it would be better to ask clearly.

Lester also understood what the other party meant and said, "Lt. General Locke, you should know that even if Mr. Spielberg was a newcomer at the beginning and was suspected when he was filming a movie, he was successful in the end. I won the Oscar for live short films, which means I was recognized and had the ability to dominate a feature film."

"Okay." Lieutenant General Locke hesitated for a moment and said in agreement: "It's up to you to direct it. I will send someone to follow up with you in preparation. I hope you won't let me down."

"No." Lester replied, hearing the beeping sound of the phone hanging up, and put the microphone on the phone.

Seeing Lester's face full of joy, the assistants knew there was something they needed to do and looked at Lester.

"Call Tom Cruise to come to Flying Bird Film and Television, and call Dims to come over.''Lester said and turned around and walked into the office.

The assistants picked up the phone and called Tom Cruise and Dims.

I thought that the new "Top Gun" script would take many days to get a reply, but I didn't expect that the military gave the green light to allow the script to pass quickly. Leicester thought about the situation of the military and thought about it. Now he needs to draw the storyboard.

In fact, the new "Top Gun" was able to pass the green light quickly, thanks to the original "Top Gun" screenwriter who failed to write it in full, which made them not very satisfied. Since the end of World War II, there have been very few soldiers joining the army. The military saw a better storyline than the original "Top Gun", so naturally strongly supported it.

Taking out the A4 drawing, Lester painted according to the scene in his memory. When he was halfway through the drawing, he suddenly found that the fighter plane picture needed to be drawn completely.

Leicester could only temporarily stop the storyboard of the fighter's screen.

"Boss, what's wrong with me?" Dims pushed the door and walked in, sat in front of Leicester, looking at him in confusion.

He was arranging the camera used by the crew, but he received a call from his assistant asking him to go to Leicester. Dims immediately put down his work.

Lester thought that his royal photographer still needed to go to school, so he said helplessly: "Lance, Cod, he still needs to study in school. Please help me find Jeffrey L. Jinbao to come and shoot with me."

I'll go now. Dims got up and wanted to do business.

Spielberg, who had not seen him for more than a month, pushed open the office door and walked in, and asked Dims, who was about to leave, to stop.

"Mr. Spielberg.''Dims shouted, stepping out.

"Wait, Dims." Spielberg called Dims. Dims, who was about to go out, had to stop, turn around and look at Spielberg in confusion.

Spielberg took the script adapted from "Purple" and put it in front of Leicester, and said with a smile: "The script has been written, you should help me start the money by Little Leicester."

"So fast." Lester was surprised to pick up the desktop script to watch.

Although Spielberg extracted the plot of the novel's essence, the plot of the script is still quite different from that of the novel "Purple".

After reading the script of "Purple", Lester said to Dims in Spielberg's anticipated gaze: "The start-up capital is invested in the filming of "Purple".

Spielberg looked happy and picked up the script and Dims to prepare.

In addition to Leicester investing funds in the filming of "Purple", Spielberg also injected funds. According to the contract, Spielberg can enjoy half of the box office revenue with Feiniao Film and Television.

In order to cooperate with Spielberg and get the release of "Purple Rain", Leicester had to cooperate with Caa brokerage.

The other party packaged "Purple Rain" to him in a package manner, allowing Feiniao Film and Television to obtain the filming rights of "Purple Rain".

Leicester was able to easily get the film shot by Spielberg, and thanks to Spielberg's decision, he could get it smoothly.

Thinking of the agent sent by Caa at that time, Lester was a little unhappy. The reluctance and disdainful look made him almost run away on the spot.

In the afternoon, Tom Cruise, led by his assistant, walked into Leicester's office.

"Sit!" Lester raised his head and signaled Tom Cruise to sit in the chair, then lowered his head and continued to draw the storyboard.

Seeing that Lester was busy, Tom Cruise didn't bother him, and sat in a chair and looked at Lester's office.

Along the way, Tom Cruise felt that this place was very artistic, and probably everyone who came in would think that they had walked into the artist.

"How is the character watching?" Lester asked with his brush lowered and raised his head;

Tom Cruise, who was looking around, heard this and turned his head and said, "I have figured out the character of the protagonist. It is the fighter jet mentioned in the script, and I don't know how to drive it."

Fighters don't need you to drive. Leicester put the storyboard of Top Gun and said, "Top Gun has opened the green light all the way in the Pentagon, and Lieutenant General Locke sends someone to teach you about fighter jets.

"Is it my only one?" asked Tom Cruise;

"No.'' Lester shook his head and said, "In addition to you, other characters mentioned in the script need to have the knowledge of fighter jets."

The lines in "Top Gun" require Leicester to change after knowing which fighter jet to use, so some places also require actors to explain the knowledge of fighter jets.

In addition to the main actors, the Navy pilot will follow the crew to shoot.

"Let's go!" Lester walked out of the office and walked towards the audition room. Tom Cruise hurriedly followed behind him.

The two came to the audition room, and the audition inside had ended. Dims led everyone to discuss who should play other roles in Top Gun.

"Don't worry about me." The arrival of Lester and Tom Cruise made Dims and others stop. Seeing this, Lester asked everyone to continue.

Sitting on a stool, Lester picked up the list of actors who recorded the audition.

In addition to auditioning for supporting roles and the second male lead, even the heroine auditioned together.

Lester saw some familiar names on the list of actor auditions, looked at it and said, "Have the heroine decided?"

“We feel like Kelly McGillis plays,” Dims said;

Lester was stunned. Seeing the list filling out Kelly's height, Kelly was 4 inches taller than Tom Cruise, subconsciously looked at him in the unknown reason.

A very incongruous feeling emerged in Lester's heart, his eyes twitched, and he was about to speak and refuse to use her.

"Give it to you." Dimus quickly handed him the photo of Kelly. Lester saw the other party wearing military uniform and handsome, and temporarily changed his words and said in agreement: "Just use her."

Dims breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Kelly's military uniform, he felt that he was very suitable to play the heroine.
