Chapter 40 42. Fox (Please collect and read, please don’t support the book)

An apartment on Los Angeles' West Side on Sunday.

"Yes, Dad. I'm doing fine in Los Angeles. My daily work now is studying and training."

"I'm not wasting my youth. You should pay attention to the entertainment news. MGM and Hasbro have announced that they will be filming Transformers. Eric didn't lie to me."

"Dad, don't be so busy with work all day. You should pay more attention to your daughter's news. That's a blockbuster movie with a $150 million investment, which is more than any other project you've ever worked on in your life!"

"Okay, that's it. I'm going to go shopping with Refaeli later. Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Gal Gadot was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, light makeup. Eric didn't like heavy makeup. Today was a day off, so the two of them were going out.

As for shopping with Refaeli, that was of course a lie to my dad.

Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed on my chest, and Barry Fali's voice rang out from behind me: "Isn't this the heroine of Transformers? You got up so early in the morning to put on makeup. Let me guess, you're going on a date, right?"

Gal Gadot chuckled a few times: "Don't bother Refaeli. If the painting is messed up, it will delay time. I don't want Eric to wait for me."

"Wait, so what? You're a woman who's about to become a Hollywood star."

"But the decision is his, isn't it?"

Barlefali picked up the comb and said, "Then let me help you comb your hair. And you can tell me how you charmed Eric Cooper."

Gal Gadot picked up a few-dollar eyebrow pencil and tapped it gently: "No, I never felt that I was fascinated by him, nor did I feel infatuated with him. He is not the kind of rich second-generation who only knows sex. You can see this from the news."

"And we were just hanging out, no one admitted to any feelings, anyway I had no idea, but things have developed to this point today, I feel like I'm in two completely different worlds from who I was a month ago."

The phone on the table rang, and Gal Gadot finished the last stroke: "I'm leaving now. See you tonight."

Watching Gal Gadot walk out of the apartment and get into the passenger seat of the Lamborghini, Barrett suddenly felt a little angry.

In the past, I just felt a sense of anger that made me feel annoyed from time to time, but since the news was released on Monday, that anger has gradually turned into a fire.

She walked to the mirror and looked at herself: "Barre Farley, why isn't that person you? Your figure and looks are no worse than hers!"

"Why can she get a contract for the leading actress in Transformers, but you can only get a contract for a damn zombie TV show."

"Friends? We were out for three days and two nights, and you tell me we're just friends? Bitch!"

Staring at herself in the mirror, the woman suddenly picked up a cup and smashed it.

"Eric, congratulations , Red Dragon's box office is approaching $300 million this week."

"I don't think it will reach that level. The film's stamina is almost exhausted. It will be released for another week before it is ready to be taken off the screen. The final box office should be just over 300 million."

“Why not continue the show?”

Hearing this silly question, Eric couldn't help but laugh: "I want to, but the theater owner won't allow it. They want to free up the screen for a big movie."

"What?"

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it's coming, and from then until Christmas, there will be a fierce battle between the dragon and the tiger!"

"It's just that Dragon and Tiger have already been confirmed, and Peter Jackson and Spielberg both have films coming out, so the rest can only rely on luck."

“By the way, didn’t you say last time that MGM also has a new movie to be released? Isn’t that bad?” Gal Gadot said with some concern.

"It's not that serious. In November, MGM will release Barbershop, a movie starring all black people. There is no shortage of market, so it won't fail even if any other movie fails."

"Die Another Day" was mainly invested by Universal, MGM was not the main investor. 007 has never lacked a market, the only difference is how much money is made."

"Sharknado is going to be released in December. It's a bit wild. If other movies are like rabbits trembling in the midst of a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, this is like a fox."

"What do you mean? I don't understand. You always say such incomprehensible things." Gadot protested.

Eric glanced at her and thought she was still too young. After all, she had just graduated from high school and had almost no social experience.

"Gadot, haven't you read the fable? The fox is cunning. It never attacks head-on, but always takes detours. But it can achieve its goal, and that's enough."

Gal Gadot nodded, although she still didn't quite understand, so she could only change the subject: "When will the filming start? When can I join the crew?"

"Are you anxious?"

"No, I'm just a little bored. I just can't wait to test the results of my studies."

"Then you may have to wait a little longer. This is a big project and the preparatory work is very complicated. If everything goes well, I expect to start filming in January next year."

"We have to wait another two months?" Gal Gadot's face fell.

"Of course, two months is fast. If things don't go well, it could take three or even four months."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But as long as the preparations are done well, filming will be quick, and you will be able to see yourself on the big screen next year."

Eric was telling the truth. There were only two difficulties in filming Transformers. One was the expensive military equipment, and the other was having to enter the military base for the actual filming and communicating with the Department of Defense.

My father is already doing this. He could hang out with Gadot on the weekend, but he doesn't have the time for that. He has to visit an official from the Ministry of Defense.

Giving money is definitely necessary, but if you can save a lot of money by spending a little, it is worth it.

The second is special effects, which are more difficult than the Ministry of Defense. Even money cannot afford it and it takes a lot of time.

Some viewers believe that special effects were added after the film was completed, which is a rather one-sided idea.

This can only be said of movies with few special effects shots. Real blockbusters are made while shooting, and the special effects start earlier than the actual shooting.

Taking Transformers as an example, the first step in the process is for the director, screenwriter and artist to combine their ideas and jointly create these Autobots and Decepticons to make them come alive on paper.

Then it is handed over to the special effects company, which constructs the model and gives them more vivid expressions and movements, such as those complex deformation movements, which are the most difficult part.

This process is very long and requires various modifications, often taking several months to achieve an effect that satisfies the director.

Once this step is completed, the rest will be much easier.

The actual shooting usually takes about three months to complete, and Eric is even confident that it can be reduced to two months.

Editing was easier for him since he had seen it many times.

"Eric, someone is filming us!" Gadot pointed into the distance and said in a low voice.

Eric took a look and didn't care: "It's okay, someone has been stalking me these past few days, they just want to dig up some information."

"Will you expose me? Didn't you say you wouldn't announce it for now?"

"That was a week ago. Now that the popularity has died down, it's okay to let them promote it again."
