"Good morning Mr. Garfield, good morning Mr. Garfield..."
Tom Hanks came to the location of Building 7 of the World Trade Center, where Ronald once filmed "Working Girl". This time the filming of "Other People's Money" was welcomed by the management of the World Trade Center.
The fashionable clothes of "working girls" have now become the object of imitation by many workers on Wall Street. Ronald's crew is back again, and the office workers are very enthusiastic about the crew.
The people who like Ronald the most are the secretaries. "Working Girls" is a movie made for them to vent their anger on, and many of them are willing to be extras for the crew for free.
This is the appearance of Tom Hanks' Mr. Garfield. When they arrived at the office, all the employees were very afraid of the boss. It wasn't until he spoke to everyone and asked everyone to go to work that they hurried to their workstations.
Walk up.
This fully shows that Garfield is the person who has the absolute final say in the company, and those subordinates do not dare to refute what Garfield says, and they are all tool men.
Garfield is a poor kid from the Bronx. He does whatever it takes to succeed and has very strict requirements for work. He usually works between home and office. He is a person who has no life, only money.
On the surface, this is exactly the opposite of Jorgensen of the New England Cable Factory. Jorgensen talks about being for workers and the community, but in fact he is also an entrepreneur who has the final say. The New England Cable Factory has twice had the opportunity to block Canada.
Field's acquisitions were wasted because of Jorgensen's stubborn adherence to community values.
When they arrived at the office rented by the crew and faced the view of Lower Manhattan outside the window, Tom Hanks read the opening lines of the movie again.
"Action!"
It was already evening when this scene was filmed. Tom Hanks faced the glass curtain wall and played with a toy spring in his hand. The sound of sizzling, sizzling was recorded on the tape by the recording stick.
The light outside the window has dimmed, but with the compensation from the indoor lighting, some faint outlines can still be seen. When the camera shines, it happens to be several skyscrapers on the opposite block.
"I love money, I love money even more than the things she can buy."
Tom Hanks slowly turned around and faced the camera. He was wearing a suit customized by a tailor. No matter how his hands moved, there could not be a trace of wrinkles on his shoulders. Hanks smiled half-heartedly and continued his
Lines.
"Money, she doesn't care if I'm good or not, doesn't care if I snore while sleeping, doesn't care if I pray to that god..."
The camera slowly advanced on the track, gradually turning the medium shot into a close shot, and finally settled on Hanks' ordinary face.
"There are only three things in this world that can accept you unconditionally: dogs, donuts, and money...and money is the best of the three...do you know why? Because money will not make you fat, nor will it make you fat.
Will poop on your carpet..."
These words are very majestic and yet humorous. Under the lighting configuration with the main light coming from the top, Tom Hanks's face gives people the feeling of a typical Wall Street banker.
In the close-up of this speech, Ronald specifically referred to the characteristics of Warren Buffy's speech. There is not too much sensationalism, not too much exaggeration, just some truths, but it gives people a very philosophical feeling.
It makes sense when you listen to it, but after watching the movie, you may not have much memory.
"Cut!"
Ronald stopped the filming. Tom Hanks' lines are very good, and his accent also has the exaggerated tone of Wall Street. For such a character, Wall Street will certainly not question it, saying that such a person is not
Like a banker.
The scenes shot here were put together and Diane joined the filming the next day.
"Action!"
"If you want, we can go to court, apply for an injunction, all kinds of court arguments, all kinds of expert witnesses and accusations, and your time will be delayed."
Diane is also wearing a handmade suit, a white shirt, the cuffs protrude half an inch from the black jacket, and the collar is embroidered with handmade lace. The skirt is below the knees, with two slender legs sticking out from the middle.
Paired with black stockings and high heels, she looks very sexy.
She was holding official documents in her hands and spoke in a leisurely manner, with a sense of calm unique to lawyers. This is also the style of a female lawyer that Diane imitated after following Lindsay Dole for two weeks.
Lawyers have special rules for walking, standing, and speaking. They must be seen as a trustworthy professional. All sexiness must be hidden in the details of various clothing and accessories and cannot be used.
Hollywood star style like low-cut short skirt.
"You have to do better, I live in the courthouse." Tom Hanks put on an expression that I guess he is not afraid of. Garfield fell in love with Kate Sullivan at first sight, but when it comes to professional matters, he still has to
Business is business.
If a banker gives in when threatened by a lawyer, how can he still gain a foothold in a dog-eat-dog place like Wall Street?
"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk..." Kate, played by Diane, has a very small opening in the skirt, so when she walks, her stride is restricted, swaying, and very sexy. However, the whole body is only in black and white, and her hairstyle is
It is also a very ordinary bun, featuring a sexiness that only those who know what they are looking for can appreciate.
"Well, then I won't love you anymore..."
Kate Sullivan, a girl working hard on Wall Street, couldn't see that Garfield was interested in her. With a half-joking remark, she immediately caught the opponent's weakness. If you don't agree to suspend the purchase of New England Cable Company's stock, then Kate won't.
If she were to represent the cable company again, Garfield would not have the opportunity to date her.
"Two weeks pause..."
"Suspension of payment contract..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Both sides stopped acquiring chips..."
"For two weeks, you are not allowed to buy..."
Diane knelt down, picked up the briefcase, and then walked out in a hurry.
"Oh oh oh...we have finished talking about your things, but we haven't talked about mine yet?"
"What's the matter with you?" Kate, played by Diane, thought Garfield had other businesses that wanted to hire her, so she stopped and stared at the other person and asked.
"You and I, sweating passionately between my satin sheets and quilt..." Tom Hanks also fully expressed the dirty taste of Wall Street bankers.
"Garfield, put your hand between your legs..."
Kate, played by Diane, has been in the money world controlled by men like Wall Street for so many years. She has no problem dealing with this kind of harassment. She still used the cold tone when speaking to the judge and gave Garfield a hard lesson verbally.
"Cut!"
Hanks is a comedian. During a break in filming, Hanks immediately acted up and hid behind the art director Polly Platt. Then he glanced at Ronald.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Polly Platt was confused by him and hit him twice.
"I was avoiding the director and I just flirted with his wife..." Tom Hanks pointed at Ronald.
"Pfft...hahahaha..." Everyone burst out laughing.
"Huh?" Ronald, who happened to be joking with Diane, was laughed out of nowhere. Seeing that Hanks was causing trouble, he couldn't laugh or cry. He took a donut and threw it at him.
"Well..." Tom Hanks took a bite, "It seems that the scale is quite good."
"Tom..." Ronald couldn't stand the comedy star anymore, so he grabbed him around the neck and pulled Hanks out of the filming room as if he wanted to settle a score with him. "Tom, you are a little bit
It’s a small problem, let’s talk alone…”
Ronald took him to the lounge next to him and closed the door.
"Huh? It's not really the scene between me and Diane..." Tom Hanks was still making fun of it,
"I need you to adjust the ratio of comedy and drama..." Ronald stopped being weird with Hanks and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Proportion?" Tom Hanks frowned slightly. Since his debut, he has actually played comedy roles, or roles with comedy elements. This has always been his acting method, and he naturally adopted it in this movie.
"Yes, although this movie has elements of comedy and stage drama, it is a business war drama after all. The most important thing is to make the audience feel real."
Ronald asked a little performance question.
Tom Hanks' previous films always tended to be comedy-oriented in their performances. That kind of acting method would use exaggeration and distortion to make the audience laugh. Many of the performances in comedies were taken out separately and put into other movies.
The audience would not accept it.
Although Hanks has deliberately reduced this performance method, it will still emerge from his subconscious when he is not intentional.
"I'm not asking you to give up all sense of comedy. This character needs some sense of comedy, but it cannot bring out the feeling that Garfield does not belong on Wall Street but belongs on Broadway."
Ronald knew that Hanks had a very good understanding and the intensity of his performance was also very good. He himself did not necessarily provide specific guidance, so he just suggested the necessary directions and let Hanks adjust himself.
"People on Wall Street..." Hanks pondered for a moment, "I think bankers like Bannon usually make some cheap jokes."
"Yes, that's the feeling. Garfield is not a character who lives in a comedy." Ronald asked Hanks to tone down the exaggeration of the comedy, at least not beyond the scope of a normal banker. Hanks wanted to use
Those cheap jokes are very appropriate as a threshold to measure the intensity of one's performance.
During the filming in the next few days, everyone noticed that the actors' performances became more and more outstanding, and the chemical reactions between the main actors became more and more harmonious.
Diane and Hanks have a history of cooperation, and they also imitated professionals on Wall Street for two weeks. They had specific characters for reference. The staff on site felt that this film was becoming more and more realistic in its simulation of the Wall Street workplace.
The better it is, maybe there will be another time in the M&A profession, but at least those people's feelings are right.
In the blink of an eye, the weekend came, and the crew was filming in New York, and they did not dare to work overtime under the supervision of the union. Towards the end of the year, a branch of the Screen Actors Guild in New York, mainly for Broadway actors, began to plan a strike again.
These actors belong to the New York International Theater Stage Employees Union. Because their contracts have expired and they are dissatisfied with the new contracts, they are planning a one-day strike.
Ronald was still haunted by the film and television actors' strike a few years ago, and was very afraid of it. He was basically cooperative with the union's arrival. He also hired many of their members to act as extras.
As soon as Friday morning's filming ended, Ronald announced that the crew would begin cooperating and would go on strike until twelve o'clock tonight.
Ronald and Diane returned to the hotel together. On the way, Ronald stared at Diane's clothes. Today she was wearing a brown plaid suit. She looked elegant and dignified on the outside, and she looked very elegant when she walked.
Sexy skirt.
Diane, who became a mother, has long since regained her slender waist through yoga exercises, but the size from the waist down has increased by another dimension, which is very eye-catching.
"Hi..." Diane felt proud, but she still had to rely on various costumes to attract Brother Ronnie's heart.
"It is estimated that this weekend's box office will fall out of the top three." Richard is still waiting to report to Ronald in the hotel every day.
"It's almost there. It has been released for eighteen weeks." Ronald said with a smile. It would be impossible not to fall again.
"The Love of Ghosts" has been in the cinema for a long time, and the number of theaters it has been shown in has remained at 1,700, never falling out of the top three. The number of theaters and the number of screenings show that this is a film that attracts special audiences.
Group movie.
In other words, there are some viewers (according to the survey, most of them are couples, regardless of young or old...) who are always watching this movie. Seeing that the box office of a single theater dropped below 2,000 US dollars last week,
Ronald also approached Paramount and did a joint promotion.
Any couple who comes to watch a movie can receive a movie voucher for next year's Oscars. If they are still a couple by then, they can use this voucher to exchange for two movie tickets.
With this promotional method, the box office rebounded last week, but after this promotion plan is removed this week, it is estimated that it will fall back to less than 2,000 per venue.
Fortunately, this movie still has some die-hard fans who watch it over and over again, and it is estimated that it will remain in theaters on a small scale for a few months. This week's total box office has exceeded 190 million, and by the time these release periods are slowly accumulated,
It is estimated that the domestic box office exceeding 200 million will be a matter of course.
"Next week is Thanksgiving weekend, and Dances with Wolves will finally be released on a large scale."
Richard continued to report. "Dances with Wolves" has been in small-scale release for three weeks. Audiences in various places can only hear the good reviews of the movie but cannot buy movie tickets. Their anxiety has been very high.
incredible.
Next week, Disney will finally have a free schedule, and together with Daydream's own contracted distribution theaters, it will be released in 1,400 theaters.
"Hmm... um..." Diane was already a little tired of listening to Richard's report, and she uttered some words of unknown meaning to remind Ronald.
"Let's stop here today." Ronald signaled to Richard that it was okay.
"Okay, I'll come back on Monday morning." Richard left with a smile and closed the door.
"Well... you performed very well..." Diane smiled and stretched her hand between Ronald's legs. "Let's sweat on the satin sheets together..."
"Hmm..." Ronald couldn't resist the charm of this working girl from the inside out. He immediately picked up Diane's legs, picked her up, walked into the bedroom and threw her in the oversized
