Chapter 452 The nun named Maria Chapter 453 The location: Mexico!(2/3)

I nodded.

"Let's talk about it quickly, who played the role of the Lord and the Virgin Mary?" The fat man's question expressed everyone's questions.

"The Virgin Mary is played by Mary." Stiller began to circle around them.

"What a mess." The fat man gave Stiller a blank look, pulled me to ask, "Boss, reveal it!"

I smiled and said, "Stiller is right. The Virgin Mary is played by Sister Maria. As for the actor who plays Yay, she is sitting in front of you."

"You mean the person who played Yay... it was you!" The fat man was a little confused.

The others were also stunned.

Stiller said with his teeth cut beside him, "Everyone, the elders of the Jewish community have said that these are all destined. So, let's just support the boss!"

"What Jewish community elder?" Gans asked quietly, holding Stiller's shoulder.

Stiller said everything he saw in the Jewish community and in the monastery, but he did not mention anything about the inner temple.

Most of the people in the room treated his words as jokes, but they were very happy that the actors could be sure of it.

"Boss, now all the actors have been selected. Shan Lige put down all the work at hand and made all the production props and costumes. It is estimated that it will be completed in a few days. Now it depends on Munau and the others. If we can find a suitable filming place, we can start filming!" The fat man rubbed his hands and said happily.

"I almost forgot if you didn't say it. Did you get news from Munau?" I turned around and asked Gans.

Gans smiled and pointed to the table and called, "I just came. But you are not here."

"What did Munau say?" I immediately sat upright.

Gans smiled and said, "Monau and those geographical historians are also hard enough. They have taken planes to see almost all the planned American filming sites in the past few days, but they are not suitable. He just called and said that one of the historians proposed to go to Mexico, saying that there is a place called Ensenada on the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, where the landform and landform are very imaginable, and they are rushing there now."

"Ba California Peninsula?! That's just a few hundred kilometers away!" I was so happy after hearing Gans's words.

Baja California Peninsula. In the southern part of California, if the division of the United States and Mexico is a geographical extension of California. On the map, it extends into the vast ocean like a slender cucumber.

Ensenada, located at the northernmost end of the Baja California Peninsula, is close to the border between the United States and Mexico, and is not very far from Los Angeles. If you drive, you can reach it in one or two days.

If this place is a suitable location for filming, then for us, it will be a great thing. Not only can all kinds of equipment and personnel be transported there, but we will also greatly shorten the filming time.

"Boss, if that place really works, it will be much more convenient for us." Gans naturally knew the benefits.

I nodded and said to Gans: "Then let's wait for news from Munau and others. If it's OK, you can quickly apply for relevant documents when you receive the news here. In addition, you must contact the local government to see if they can support us. After all, we are not familiar with the places there."

"Boss, don't worry about this. I remember when we filmed "Brave Heart", we did a good job!?" Gans smiled wickedly.

In the next few days, I spent the anxious waiting.

There was no news from Munau and the geographic historians. It seemed to have evaporated. Gans waited by the phone for almost twenty-four hours, waiting for news while waiting.

In these few days, I don’t have to wait for news.

First, I called those important actors to the company headquarters, including Yuri and others in the Jewish community, and then officially distributed the scripts one by one. At the same time, I began to guide them in rehearsals.

At the same time, I also have to supervise the production of Sanlige's props and costumes. Because this time, the typical scene in Jerusalem that had to be restored nearly two thousand years ago, the props were made very heavy. In addition, Sanlige's third factory can only make various objects mentioned in the script before the filming starts, but there must be many props needed at the scene. This depends on the props set in the filming team. Although the props set in DreamWorks is quite crowded, it may not be enough at that time, so I transferred some from Universal Film Company.

Then, I convened all the person in charge of the film crew and began to formulate a unified shooting plan to coordinate various issues, most of which were extremely trivial and small things.

Finally, I have to work on Heidi's "Love Letter".

For a few days, I almost didn't even sleep well. After I got busy, I lost weight.

On the 311th, when everything was going on in an orderly manner despite the tension, Munau came back.

"Boss, boss, good news, good news!" As soon as Munau came back, he rushed into my office directly.

"Okay, you Munau, I thought you were cooked and eaten by the Mexicans! Why is there no news at all!" I immediately laughed as I rushed into the office.

This guy was wearing a colorful coat and a huge hat on his head, completely dressed as a Mexican. Because he had no shaving, he looked like an orangutan from a distance.

"Hi, boss, there is a reason why we won't call you these days. When we first arrived in Ensenada, we were detained by the local government." Muno complained repeatedly.

"I was detained by the local government!? Why are you detained?!" I was shocked.

Just kidding, this is not a war era. The relationship between the United States and Mexico is OK. How could they detain people?

Munau shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the sofa, and said, "That's right, when we went there, there happened to be a riot in the area. I heard that it was a rebellion.

The government suppressed it. As a result, I looked very similar to the people in the anti-government organization, so I was detained by them."

"That kind of thing can happen too!? What happened later?" I found it incredible.

Munau looked indifferent and said, "Later I told them that I was the director of DreamWorks Film Company and came to them for the scene. They investigated and let me go."

"This shitty government seems to be quite difficult." Gans frowned.

Mr. Munau waved his hand and said, "You are wrong. After learning that we are going to film in Ensenada, the local government is very polite and enthusiastic. Our DreamWorks Film Company is also very well-known in their Mexico. Their mayor said that as long as we come to their filming, the government can provide free personnel, materials and safety assistance, and cooperate with the requisition of various places. I signed an agreement with them."

"Really? So easy to talk about?" I laughed.

Munau nodded.

"Monau, we agreed to the filming location without even confirming it. Isn't this a blank check??" Gans suddenly became anxious when he heard that Moonau had signed an agreement with someone.

Mr. Moonau laughed and took out a few stacks of photos of the newly washed out from his bag and handed them to me. He said, "Boss, this place is perfect for us to shoot. Those geographical historians praised Ensenada. They said that the terrain there was exactly the same as that of Jerusalem. You can tell if you look at these photos."

I picked up the photos and looked at them one by one. After reading them, I murmured, "This is not what Ensenada is, it's simply Jerusalem!"

The desolate slopes covered with gravel, and the sky is covered with dust when the wind blows. There is very little vegetation. The hillsides are covered with white mud houses naked in the sun. There is a small town, full of dirt roads, and two or three-story mud buildings on both sides. Occasionally, you can see a few trees. There are also undulating steep hills and mysterious woods.

Such a place is just like what I imagined.

"Thank God! This place exists entirely for our movie! If everyone here wears Jewish lichens from two thousand years ago and then sets up the town, it will be Jerusalem!" I was so excited that I even trembled with my hands.

"Boss, have you chosen the actor?" Muno began to care about the actors.

I briefly told him about the actor, and the guy was immediately excited: "I have chosen the actor, can I start filming immediately!"

I shook my head: "I'm afraid it won't work. There are still some preparations that have not been completed yet. Besides, Heidi's "Love Letter" has not premiered yet. I think we can only rush to Ensenada for filming at least after their movie is released."

"Boss, time is very tight now. Saving a day means that there is more hope of success against MGM's "King of Kings". I think we can just divide the troops into two groups." Munau suggested.

"What kind of troops are divided into two groups?" Gans was moved by Munau's proposal.

"Say." I also vaguely guessed what Munau meant.

Mr. Moonau took a sip of tea and said, "I think so. Yes, there are no clothes, props and other things in the world, so it is impossible to film. However, the various scene arrangements in Ensenada can be done, such as buildings such as Temples, and the small town must be all arranged. These work will definitely take a lot of time. It is better for me to bring some people here first. I think with the cooperation of the local government, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. When you come, we will be almost busy. When you arrive, you can film immediately, which will save a lot of time."

"Okay! Munau's idea is good! Boss, I think that's it. This will save a lot of time." Gans agreed with Munau's idea.

I also thought this method was a very time-saving method, so I agreed.

"How many people do you need?" I asked Munau.

Munau thought for a while and said, "Boss, you might as well let all the prop group members follow me. Anyway, they have nothing to do in the company now."

"Okay, then I'll give you all the people in the prop group. In addition, you can bring over the theater team, with more people and more power. When you get there, you must establish good relations with the government. By the way, you can give gifts to their mayors and other leaders at the appropriate time." I told Monao.

Maonao stood up and said, "I understand this. Boss, then I'll go and prepare. When I'm ready, let's go."

"Go." I waved my hand at Munau.

"Boss, this guy is anxious enough." Looking at Munau's hurried back, Gans smiled.

"You go and help him gather people too. He is alone, I'm afraid he can't be busy." I smiled at Gans.

Gans went downstairs without saying a word.

The location of the filming was determined, which was a major event in my mind. So far, all the most important problems have been solved. Next, you only need to prepare and start shooting.

My heart has become unprecedentedly anticipated.

After Stiller and Gans left, I modified the script in the office. After a few pages of it, Heidi and Lemmel walked in.

"You guys appeared at the same time. It was beyond my expectations." I smiled.

Lemmer smiled and said nothing. Heidi stood at the door and was unwilling to come in.

"Why don't you come in and sit?" I took the tea leaves and prepared to make tea for them.

"Stop soaking, we are not here to have tea. Let's go." Heidi thrust out the door.

"Where do you go?" I asked in confusion with my tea bag.

"Where else can you go? The Hollywood City Government." Heidi was in a good mood.

"It's not that your movie has been edited, right?" Looking at her proud look, I immediately understood.

"I just finished cutting the last night and looked at it again in the morning, and I came to find you." Heidi laughed.

I looked at her, then looked at Lemmer. I said, "Just go to the Code Execution Bureau for review. Why do you want me to go?"

"It's lively!" Heidi walked up to him and pulled me out of the door without saying a word.

I handed the tea bag to Jimmy and had to accompany the father and daughter for a walk.

There was nothing to say along the way. The three of them arrived at the city government and headed straight for Grant's office.

When Grant was not there, her secretary said that a movie that the Codex Executive was reviewing was being reviewed, and Grant ran to attend the audience.

Fortunately, the review of this movie is over. We waited for more than half an hour and Grant walked in red.

"Yo. I haven't seen you two in the city for a long time." Grant saw Lemmer and me, and came over to say hello with a smile. Hayes followed him and flashed in.

"How about Director Corleon, when are you going to make a new film? Hayes and I were waiting until our hair turned white. In the past few months, other companies have filmed one after another, but you DreamWorks didn't make any noise." Grant sat opposite me and shouted at me dissatisfiedly.
