Of course, Chen Kangjie knew about the role of Simon before choosing, because he saw Bill Paxton, the performer in the original play, standing in the crowd with his little skewed head, with his cynical smile on his face, and he happened to be here to fight for this role. In the end, this guy lived up to the long and forgot, and won the nods of Chen Kangjie and the two assistant directors through the performance of timid and desire to win the favor of girls.

In addition to this Simon, the character of the femme fatale Jenna is also the performer in the original movie - the 26-year-old mixed-race Tia Carrel, born in Hawaii, has four bloodlines: Spain, the Philippines, China, and Hawaiian. He only started entering the industry in 1992 and participated in the performance of the movie "Anti-Wisdom Stars". In the end, he was nominated for the MTV Sexiest Actress Award for this, but he did not win the award in the end.

Wearing a sexy black dress, she was originally looking for a role in Underthe Olive Trees, which will be directed and produced by Abbas Kiarostami. This movie was originally planned to be funded by Miramax. When she saw so many people participating in the casting, she came in with interest and took a look. As a result, Chen Kangjie recognized her at a glance and invited her to participate in the role. She heard that she would have a role with Arnold Swarzenegger, so she agreed without asking for the pay.

It took more than 20 hours for two days and overtime to basically determine the main supporting role. As for those who were not selected, they could act as extras. Anyway, they needed hundreds of extras. Only Harry and Helen's daughter Dana, who was in a rebellious period, does not have a suitable candidate, and will be detained for the time being.

At the same time, the work of the set has begun. The first thing to build is the headquarters of the "Omega" intelligence organization. Chen Kangjie told the setter Cindy Carl based on his impression in his mind. This is a pretty young woman, but she is very capable. She once visited the CIA headquarters in Langley. Chen Kangjie gave her two million dollars and asked her to lead her team to build an internal scene of the "Omega" intelligence organization within fifteen days. If the money is not enough, you can increase it, but the time must be as soon as possible.

Chen Kangjie completely accepted the Qili Bridge in Florida recommended by Scott. It was very difficult to find such a suitable attraction. Only here is the only suitable place in the world. It is both a cross-sea bridge and a break. Perhaps the prototype written by the French screenwriter back then was here, let alone James Cameron, who originally chose to shoot here, so why would Chen Kangjie refuse?

However, when he proposed to restore that bridge, Scott and Fan Wenxuan were shocked. They were just making movies, and did it take so much money and workload? What's more, after the recovery, the two missiles had to ruthlessly blow it up. This was a total waste, and in fact, it could be done by computers.

"That effect is not real, this shot is the most classic part of the whole movie. If it is distorted, the movie will be greatly reduced. Don't worry about money. Money will be earned back, not to mention that it is within the budget," Chen Kangjie said his reasons.

Finally, with Chen Kangjie's insistence, others had to agree to his money-burning move, spending nearly 20 million to restore the bridge that was blown up by the government decades ago. It is easy to restore it. As long as it looks like a good appearance and speed is fast, it will cost even higher if it is according to the standards of connecting cars and trains.

"Will that Swiss Lake Chober and that villa also go to Switzerland to shoot?" After agreeing to Chen Kangjie to restore Qili Bridge, Fan Wenxuan teased Chen Kangjie in front of other companies' senior management.

"I'm not a fool, and the audience is not a god. Is it necessary? In winter, I'll just find such a villa in the United States or Canada. Why do you have to go so far to Switzerland? Anyway, we're shooting the easy part first, and we don't shoot it in the order of the plot." No matter how stupid Chen Kangjie is, he is not so stupid.

If you go to Switzerland to shoot, the cost will be greatly spent. The personnel and equipment will be airlifted to Switzerland. Moreover, the shooting environment in Switzerland is completely different from that of the United States. If the violent gunfight and explosion scenes have to be filmed in Switzerland, it will take additional applications, which will waste a lot of time.

"Instead, the part filmed in Washington, DC is to step up the application. I hope to take the Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and Federal Reserve as outdoor locations," Chen Kangjie emphasized.

In this regard, there are similarities between China and the United States. In China, Tiananmen Square and surrounding landmark buildings cannot be filmed as outdoor locations. It is also necessary to apply. Similarly, before the rebirth of the United States, James Cameron applied for some attractions when filming this movie, and Chen Kangjie was not sure how many answers would be given to his application as director.

"I will step up this, and I dare not say how much it will be approved," Jon Gordon replied.

"Just do your best."

"In the script, there is a scene of chasing terrorists riding horses in a hotel, will this be filmed in Washington?" Scott asked.

"Let's see. If there is a suitable Los Angeles, there is no need to be in Washington," Chen Kangjie replied.

"There is a five-star hotel in Los Angeles called WestinBon**entureHotel. I read the footnotes of the script and the descriptions are quite consistent. I can choose this place as the shooting location. When I first arrived in Los Angeles, I lived here." Although Li Li was responsible for administration and finance, she still wanted to contribute some of her talents to this big production.

"OK, then let's go here. Your vision should not be wrong, thank you." Chen Kangjie expressed his gratitude to Li Li for his help.

"There is a very critical question,,,,, should we hold a press conference to promote it? Anyway, there will be reporters going to go during the opening ceremony. Even if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Fan Wenxuan is the truth. A movie cannot be done without good publicity. It depends on publicity to arouse the audience's appetite. Otherwise, the audience will not know how they would go to the cinema to spend money to buy tickets to watch it. Secondly, Swarzenegger is now a big Hollywood star. It is impossible for entertainment reporters not to report on his new film. Even if Curtis is not as famous as Swarzenegger, he will still be in tabloids often.

The question raised by Fan Wenxuan really stumped Chen Kangjie. He doesn't want to appear in front of the media yet, but he has to consider this movie and other actors. Besides, if the grades are too poor, there will be no place to put his face. If a press conference is held, as the director and producer, Chen Kangjie will be an important member who must not be absent from anyway. Chen Kangjie is a little worried that once he appears in front of the media so early, his life will lose peace too early.

"What do you think?" Chen Kangjie asked deeply about the others except Fan Wenxuan.

"We also think it is necessary. Now that our Miramax company is merged by a Hong Kong company, the media still doesn't know that it is still unknown. We suddenly spend a huge amount of money to shoot such a big-produced movie, which will definitely cause media speculation, which will have an unexpected impact on the company's reputation. Moreover, the investment in this movie is so large that if there is no close publicity, it will bring negative pressure to recover costs and profits. So it's better to hold a press conference to make an announcement on all these, killing two birds with one stone." President Jon Gordon expressed his opinion on behalf of others.

As the president of Miramax, Jon Gordon naturally has to consider more comprehensive issues, and he is responsible for the development of the entire company.

"I think you may have the same opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Chen Kangjie's student identity is basically known to everyone he knows now, and there is nothing to hide.

"What do you mean when you can't appear in front of the media in a complete manner? Do you mean makeup?" Fan Wenxuan felt relieved when Chen Kangjie agreed, but he did not fully understand what Chen Kangjie said.

It was Jon Gordon and others who proposed to hold a press conference to Fan Wenxuan. Their reasons were very sufficient, so Fan Wenxuan had to agree. However, Fan Wenxuan also knew to a certain extent that if Chen Kangjie opposed it, she would have no choice. Although she usually bickered, she could not force Chen Kangjie on serious issues, so Fan Wenxuan proposed it on such occasions, hoping to force Chen Kangjie softly through the power of unity of subordinates, and had to compromise, but he was worried that Chen Kangjie would cause trouble.

"Makeup, no, no, no, we are film companies, and there is no shortage of people who know makeup skills, but that is too much, and they will show disrespect for the media. I just want to wear sunglasses and a baseball cap. This is more natural and can answer the purpose," Chen Kangjie explained his meaning.

"I think this is OK. Many artists have this style, but they need to prepare for some sensitive questions that the media may ask," Jon Gordon said, staring at Chen Kangjie.

"I understand what you mean," Chen Kangjie nodded.
