Do you know what it feels like when a person is walking on the road and suddenly trips up, then gets up with dust on his face, but finds that the thing that trips him is a piece of gold?

Looking at the 14 or 15-year-old boy named Gregory Parker in front of me, my mood was the feeling of the man who picked up the gold of the dog.

At the beginning, I was still wondering if this Gregory Parker was the old Pike in history who had a tall and handsome face with a smile on his face and was called "the big boy in Hollywood" by Americans.

But when I remembered what Mrs. Paike told me about Gregory's childhood, when I saw that Gregory, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, was taller than a child of the same age as him. Parker was a big man of 1.91 meters tall, I was basically sure that the boy standing in front of me was the old Pike, one of my favorite Hollywood actors.

"Gans, this time, we have found a treasure." I poked Gans.

"I picked up the treasure! What treasure?! I didn't see you bent down?" Gans looked demented and looked down at my empty hands.

"The one in front of you is!" I laughed.

Gans looked in front of him, and looked at Gregory Parker.

"Boss, don't tell me that little Gregory is that treasure!" Gans shouted.

Hahahaha. I laughed happily.

"Don't worry, Gans, our boss said he was a treasure, and even a stone would turn into a treasure." The fat man was open-minded.

His words made Gans and I laugh at the same time.

After Old Mrs. Paike said reluctantly to the residents of the town, we left the town.

"Grandma, will we come back?" Little Gregory looked back at the ordinary town that was getting farther and farther away from the car.

"Little Gregory, do you want to come back?" the fat man laughed.

"Gregory, I tell you, if a person wants to succeed, he must always look forward. Look at how spacious the road ahead is. Follow this road and keep moving forward, Hollywood is the place of dreams!" Gans gestured exaggeratedly.

Gregory looked forward in the direction of his finger, with a bright smile on his face.

"Hollywood, Hollywood..." Gregory murmured in his mouth.

"Gregory, don't listen to these two guys talking nonsense." I gave Gans a blank look. Touching Gregory's head, he said earnestly: "People are alive. Looking forward is right to the ground, because if you don't look forward, you won't make progress. But when you move forward, don't be disdainful of what's behind you. When a person rises to the top, he can easily forget where he comes from and who he is. Little Gregory, you must always remember the town behind you, and you must always remember what kind of person you are. "Hollywood is a big dye vat. I hope that no matter when, your heart will be as clean as the white walls of the town. Do you understand?"

I said that Mrs. Paike next to me also nodded repeatedly.

"When Gregory, my child, Mr. Corleon, you must remember that no matter what you do, you must have a pure soul, otherwise God will not favor you." Old Mrs. Pike smiled.

"Fatty. Why am I always so much worse than the boss?" Gans asked the fat man with a bitter face.

The fat man was so happy that he pointed at Gans and pointed at me again, saying, "You are already much worse than the boss."

This guy is talking about height.

Hahahaha. There was another burst of laughter in the car.

In this way, we found the only actor missing from the "Patriot" crew.

With all the actors together, you have to consider the issue of shooting.

The crew was fully equipped with various equipment on the train. The only place to be determined is the shooting site.

I have handed this task to Dunar. As a director of the full power of the outdoor scene, this guy has been wandering around the eastern United States for a long time.

Not long after, I received a call from Dunardi.

"Boss, I found a great place!" Dunar's voice was very excited on the phone.

"Tell me, don't keep it aside." I smiled.

"Boss, I not only found a great shooting location for our crew, but also found a great shooting location for Victor Fleming's Gone with the Wind. Georgia." Dunar said the name that made me excited.

Georgia, that's where the prototype of "Gone with the Wind" took place. "Dunal, how could you choose such a place?" I asked.

Dunar said with disdain: "Boss, don't you indirectly suspect that I'm not educated. During the Civil War, Georgia was a focus of the struggle between the two sides, especially Atlanta, which fell into the hands of the Northern General Schulman in 1864. At that time, many stories happened. These stories were later widely circulated in the United States through the Atlanta Daily, and one of them was almost exactly the same as the content in Gone with the Wind. In Atlanta, this story was a topic that local residents were passionate about. I had read it in the newspaper before, and when Hollywood wanted to shoot a movie with the Civil War as the theme, I checked a lot of relevant information, and I was very impressed by Georgia. This time, after coming to Atlanta, I heard local residents talk about what happened during the Civil War in the tavern. I felt that there was no place in the United States that could be more suitable for this movie than this place."

"Also, the geographical environment of this place is very suitable for filming "Patriot". I think it's better for our two crews to come here to shoot at the same time. Anyway, you are also the general consultant of "Gone with the Wind". In this way, you can have a good grasp of both movies. When encountering problems, the two crews can also take care of each other." Dunar's suggestion made me shine.

He said that, putting both crews to Georgia will definitely bring many benefits. First of all, it will naturally increase the publicity effect. Both such movies can be said to be the most grand movies in Hollywood history. If they were filmed together, it would be impossible not to attract other people's attention!

Secondly, when two crews shoot in the same place, it is very convenient to take photos. Maybe I can also let the people in the crew of "Gone with the Wind" show their faces in "Patriots", and of course, the other way around. In this way, the audience will feel happy when watching these two movies. Not only can they watch them in comparison, but they can also see that there are many actors in the two movies like magic.

Just count, the actors in "Patriot" and the actors in "Gone with the Wind". Ninety percent of Hollywood's first-tier stars have been caught. God. If that's true, Atlanta will be bustling with stars everywhere.

Dunar's proposal made me moved.

Although "Gone with the Wind" has started filming now, it has only started. I heard that Victor Fleming's current work is to let a group of actors get in, so the official drama has not yet begun.

"You mean you're in Atlanta now?" I said in surprise.

"Of course, of course in Atlanta. Boss, I have arranged this place. The local government is very supportive of our shooting and is willing to provide all the help within our ability. Especially when I told the mayor of Atlanta that "Patriot" and "Gone with the Wind" came to shoot at the same time. That guy was so happy."

"He also told me that Atlanta's terrain is complex and suitable for filming movies of various themes. It is very suitable for films like "Patriot" that reflects the Independence War. In fact, Hollywood has had film companies here before filming films with the Independence War as the theme. In addition, he also told me that there is really a story in "Gone with the Wind" in Atlanta. Haha. This guy can be regarded as my confidant."

"Boss, how about it? Do you agree with this suggestion?" Dunar was waiting for my reply very much.

"Of course I agree. How could I not agree with such a good thing?" I laughed.

After putting down the phone, I went to Victor Fleming.

Victor Fleming's crew was just 20 miles away from Los Angeles. When I went there, they had just finished an indoor scene shooting.

"Boss, why are you here?" Victor Fleming was very happy to see me.

"How is it, how is the movie made?" I smiled.

"It's okay. The only thing that doesn't satisfy me is this environment. It would be great if it was Atlanta." Victor pointed to the shooting venue in front of him and said to me.

"Atlanta!? You think of Atlanta!?" I've eaten it.

Victor Fleming nodded and said, "Yes. Boss, do you know why I wrote this script?"

"Why?"

"Because the prototype of this script was published in Atlanta, I saw this story from newspapers a long time ago. It was an article in the Atlanta Daily reprinted by our Los Angeles Times, which talked about a story from the Civil War. The story was well written, not only reprinted in the Los Angeles Times, but also reprinted by almost all major American newspapers. The author wrote the story very well. After seeing the story, I thought it was very good, so I cut the newspaper off and always wanted to write such a script." Victor Fleming's words solved one of my doubts.

So that's what happened.

"Victor, then why didn't you get the crew to Atlanta at the beginning?" I asked.

Victor Fleming smiled bitterly and said, "Atlanta is too far away, and the scene of this movie is so grand, we need a lot of support. The city of Los Angeles will provide this support."

Hahahaha. I burst into laughter.

"Boss, why are you laughing?" Victor Fleming was so happy.

"Victor, how did you know that the Atlanta City Government does not support your shooting work??" I shook my head and said, "I came here for this time."

Next, I told Victor Fleming about Dunar's proposal, and Victor Fleming jumped up on the spot, and then pulled me to find Howard Hughes.

Howard Hughes's "Hell Angel" has been completed. When I went there, the guy was taking a group of people to edit it among the editor.

After listening to our proposal, Howard Hughes himself agreed very much.

"Mr. Corleon, I think it's decided. Victor, you prepare and set off with Mr. Corleon's crew in a few days." Howard Hughes squeezed his eyes playfully at me.

The idea of ​​"Patriot" and "Gone with the Wind" was tied to Atlanta for filming, and it was decided.

The next day, this news appeared prominently in Los Angeles' major media, and Lockettke TV made a key report, which immediately caused a huge response.

The Lockettke TV hotline and DreamWorks duty phone were almost blown up, including Los Angeles and from all over the country, the most of which were from Atlanta.

The reason for such a big response is naturally because of these two movies. "Patriot" and "Gone with the Wind" are just ones that create Hollywood records, and both movies themselves have extra meaning. "Patriot" is associated with the current veteran incident, and "Gone with the Wind" is the first time that major Hollywood film companies have collaborated together to attract much attention.

July 22nd. It was a sunny day. I started to get busy before dawn. Not only was I busy, but the entire DreamWorks were busy in a mess.

At Los Angeles Railway Station, six trains docked next to the platform. Among these six trains, three are from the crew of "Gone with the Wind". Three are ours. Four trains are filled with various shooting props and equipment. The remaining two are loaded with people.

It can be said that the Los Angeles Railway Station has never been so lively ever.

There are people everywhere in the huge train station. Famous figures from major Hollywood film companies have gathered here. The two crew members have completely mixed together, which is very lively.

Gary Grant, John Wayne, Spencer Queser, Gary Cooper, James, Garbo, Marlene Dietley, Betty Davis, Pickford, Clarke Gable, Vivien Leigh, Henry Waltho... Almost all the first-tier stars in Hollywood are here.

In addition, there are countless people coming to see you off.

The bosses of film companies such as Marskolov, Adolph Chuck, Sam Warner, John Cohen, Lemmer, Howard Hughes were all right. John Ford, Liu Bieqian, Kim Victor, John Houston, William Wheeler, Chaplin, Howard Hawks and other directors were all present. The huge railway station turned into a Harvey Awards ceremony.

"Andre. I admire you. Look, since Hollywood was established to the present, how can there be such a big movie like you?" Marskolov hugged me, his face full of envy.

"I admire you? Look at those people." I pointed to the actors chattering next to the train: "You have to take care of so many people, filming, their personal safety, their food, drinking, defecation, and sleeping. You have to see that they can't let them do something extraordinary. Come and try it?"

"No, no, I won't do such a thing even if I beat me to death." Marskolov waved his hands repeatedly.

He knows what it means to be the director of such a movie.

"Lao Ma, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I decided to shoot this movie. Look, I have white hair." I pointed to my head.

"Get out of here! You're still good at getting the cheap!" Marskolov kicked me. During the train battle, a farewell ceremony was held, interviewed by reporters, and took photos. The group of people made a fuss until the afternoon when the train slowly drove out of the Los Angeles Railway Station.

"I've never been so tired after all." I stood in the carriage and pulled off my tie with great effort.

"There are hundreds of people in total, so how can I not be tired?" Jiabao took out his handkerchief to wipe my sweat.

"Boss, Miss Garbo is right at all. I've ever seen a crew with so many people." Victor Fleming smiled.

Our train is basically the main personnel of the two crew members, so in this way, it can be considered to bring each other closer together.

"Victor, the people you see are not even one tenth." Sdenburg next to him laughed, then raised two fingers: "In Atlanta, there are two troops waiting for us. The old General Pershing personally sent him, and the total number of people was 8,000. In addition, the Atlanta Municipal Government has prepared extras. According to the mayor, the entire Atlanta people can be counted among extras. You can calculate, if we count this, how many people are there?"

"The first crew in Hollywood. The first crew." Victor Fleming giggled.
To be continued...
