American fame and fortune

After drinking, Martin exchanged personal contact information with Scarlett Johansson and then returned to the hotel.

Just as promised when contacted, Blake Lively moved directly into Martin's suite.

Jeremy Renner, who lived on the same floor, saw the door to the opposite room closed. He slandered him and returned to the room alone. He felt that what Martin said about picking up girls was very reasonable. He went back to talk to the Canadian model. Maybe it will end the single status.

Martin is having an affair with an actress on the set again, which is not even news on the set of "The Bitch."

Although the crew gossips privately, everyone takes it for granted.

In the next few days, the crew was filming scenes related to supporting actresses, including many large-scale scenes between Martin and Blake Lively.

After a relaxing weekend, Villeneuve put the final shootout scene on the shooting schedule.

This climax scene is undoubtedly the top priority of the entire film. Before the official shooting started, Villeneuve made a series of preparations.

The first is guns.

Like most Hollywood crews, real guns were used during filming. In view of what happened before, the crew established a four-tier security system.

The prop master, the safety guy, Bruce and the actors themselves.

Then watch and analyze Villeneuve's selection of classic shootout movie clips, and finally learn the context of the heist.

In the former, actors, props and camera crews mainly watched the bank robbery clip from "The Wire".

Especially the shootout part.

Villeneuve said to Martin and Jeremy Renner: "You will also watch this and "44 Minutes" before taking action."

Jeremy Renner asked: "'Emergency 44'?"

Martin replied: "Documentary on the North Hollywood bank robbery."

Jeremy Renner gets it.

There were scenes from other films in the film, involving copyright issues. Martin asked Villeneuve: "Have you obtained the authorization?"

Villeneuve said: "We have obtained the authorization for both films."

In this robbery scene, the robbery team headed by the male protagonist McCree will have a fierce exchange of fire with the FBI and the Boston police. Both sides will use automatic weapons, and the gunfight style is mainly realistic.

After watching the classic video clip, Villeneuve made a phone call to confirm that he was here and let’s get to the main topic today: “Last week, you all received the latest script for this scene. According to the latest news from the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park, According to the situation, we made corresponding adjustments to this scene to make it more realistic."

Martin confirmed: "Has it been negotiated at Fenway Park?"

"Starting tomorrow and until the next working day, the crew can shoot at will within Fenway Park." Villeneuve said roughly: "The entire Fenway Park area will be open to the crew free of charge."

Martin nodded slightly. Before the crew started filming, Graham had reached an agreement with John Henry about cooperation.

The Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park logos will feature in the final film.

In addition to sponsoring the filming of the crew, Fenway Group will also open the stadium to the crew for free for filming.

The door of the conference room was opened from the outside, and Graham King walked in accompanied by a woman wearing a red dress and black sky-high boots.

This woman is about thirty years old, tall, with delicate and beautiful makeup. She has big brown and black waves, diamond earrings in her ears, a Cartier women's watch on her hand, and a wedding ring on her ring finger, which interprets what a pigeon egg is.

She looked past the others and landed directly on Martin. She walked over quickly and said, "Hello Martin, I'm Linda Henry."

Graham introduced: "Linda is the person in charge of external publicity of Fenway Group and the wife of John Henry."

The crew is working with Fenway Group, and Martin certainly knows who John Henry is, the owner of Fenway Group, which owns the Boston Red Sox.

The delicate and beautiful woman in red in front of her is the boss of Fenway Group.

Martin shook hands with Linda Henry: "Nice to meet you."

Linda is responsible for the company's publicity business and has gotten to know Martin. She knows that her husband's assets may not be as much as Martin's. She said with a smile: "I hope that through this movie, we can establish a good cooperation channel and we can work together in the future."

Martin said politely: "Thank you Fenway Group for supporting the crew."

After finishing the polite words, he got down to the topic: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Henry came to introduce the relevant situation in person."

Linda's smile was as bright as the red dress on her body: "I am now in charge of Fenway Group's publicity business. This is my job."

The two chatted for a while, and Graham King introduced director Villeneuve, supporting actor Jeremy Renner and others to Linda Henry.

After Linda dealt with the formula, she asked her assistant to connect the notebook she brought to the projector and explain the background of the scene in person.

In the final scene, the hero's four-man team robs not a bank, but Fenway Park.

The laser pointer in Linda's hand pointed at Fenway Park on the projection screen and said: "Fenway Park has always been the home court with the largest average number of spectators in the league. From May 15, 2003 to the present, it has been continuously full. Record."

Jeremy Renner couldn't help but mutter to Martin: "The Boston Celtics don't have attendance like this either."

Martin didn't know much about the four major sports leagues in the United States, so he didn't answer the call.

Linda continued: "Every Red Sox game day, Fenway Park will welcome 40,000 enthusiastic consumers. They will treat the game day as a boxing day and spend unstintingly on on-site ticket purchase and catering services. , beer and snacks, team peripherals, souvenir stores, etc., each game day can bring the Fenway Group $3 million in revenue, much of which is cash."

Villeneuve added: "This robbery scene is to rob Fenway Park of cash income."

Martin asked deliberately: "Linda, aren't you worried that the release of the movie will lead to copycat crimes?"

"We were worried about being robbed, so we chose to cooperate with the crew." Linda said with a smile: "After 9/11, the Washington authorities took the lead and invited Hollywood directors, screenwriters and producers to gather together and use their brains to think of some terrorist attacks. The American plan is for prevention in advance.”

Martin heard about this and nodded slightly: "It is said that some people's ideas later became the plot of the movie."

Linda added: "The scene you filmed was also a test of our security measures. John and I were quite shocked when we saw the robbery plot of pretending to be police officers in the script. If there were really robbers doing this, the success would probably be quite high." high."

The script was rewritten based on the actual operation of Fenway Park, and she said directly: "In addition to weekly game days at Fenway Park, the surrounding stores also have income, and all the cash will be collected into the vault every day and sorted by the vault staff. , escorted to the bank every Monday, with an average weekly income of more than US$3.5 million in the past few years.”

Villeneuve added: "The amount of the robbery in the film is set at $3.5 million."

Martin knows that this figure does not include ticket packages, advertising sponsorships, television broadcasts, etc.: "The team's income is amazing."

Linda said with a smile: "It's a pity that not enough people come to the stadium outside of match days."

Martin asked: "There should be tourists, right?"

"There are some tourists, but Fenway Park is not popular enough." Linda looked at Martin: "I hope we can cooperate in depth in the future."

She makes no secret of the purpose of the collaboration: "John and I want Fenway Park to become a landmark like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hollywood Hills, the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty, which Hollywood movies love to destroy."

It has to be said that Fenway Group is indeed very thoughtful in business operations.

If it really reaches this level in a Hollywood movie, not to mention tourists from North America, there will be an endless stream of overseas tourists alone.

The ins and outs of the robbery funds are clearly explained, which also facilitates the performance of the protagonist team.

This preparation meeting ended quickly.

The next morning, the crew went to Fenway Park to film the final robbery scene.

From the robbery to the shootout, all scenes in this scene will be shot in and around Fenway Park.

The crew mobilized dozens of vehicles and gathered in the parking lot area on the street side of the stadium.

Many of them are police cars temporarily provided by the BPD.

Police officers who are not on duty can come and act as extras after get off work if they are interested.

Fenway Park was first built in the 1920s and 1930s. It may have been relatively empty at the time, but now it has become a more prosperous business district.

The prop trailer was opened and a large number of firearms were taken out. Several prop masters prepared blank ammunition according to the requirements of the crew.

Director Villeneuve was worried and came over to check it out in person.

Two safety officers wore recorders at all times and supervised the entire process.

After the firearms were prepared, Bruce came over to inspect them personally and distributed the firearms to each actor.

Martin received a modified automatic rifle from Bruce.

Different from the previous two times, this time I used AR series firearms.

Martin and Jeremy Rene put on body armor and full BPD police uniforms as required for the filming.

As the crew cleared the scene, Villeneuve gave an order, and crackling gunshots rang out.

Martin fired repeatedly at the outside through the window of the underground parking lot, and the gunfire emitted from the muzzle was clearly captured by the camera next to him.

This shot took less than ten seconds before Villeneuve shouted stop.

Then, the four people gathered together and exchanged shots with the FBI team in the underground garage.

Of the two accomplices, the younger one was quickly shot dead at the director's request.

Villeneuve kept making adjustments, and the shootout scene was shot intermittently. A ten-second shot could take dozens of minutes of footage.

The scenes here were filmed for four full days and were not completed until the day before the next Boston Red Sox game day.

Actors such as Jeremy Renner and Blake Lively ended their respective roles and left the set.

Martin, the absolute protagonist, will have to stick with it for a while longer.

After the new week started, an old friend of producer Graham suddenly came to visit and became very interested in Martin.
