Zhang Wei stayed in this huge studio for only a few minutes, but everything he saw opened his eyes. He had participated in filming in the past, but the shooting of Hollywood movies was obviously fundamentally different from the shooting of Chinese movies. In China, almost every crew has to arrange everything in every detail, from actors, cameras, lighting, costumes, props, sets and other related links, almost all the directors have to make a decision before they can be executed, and Hollywood is obviously not the case.

On this set, director Pete kept talking to two white men, but no staff member came up to ask about the arrangement of the set or props. Everyone performed their own duties. Although there were many people, they seemed in order.

After about ten minutes, a white man who was talking to Pitt looked at his watch, said something to Pitt and another person, and left first. The other white man looked up at the set and greeted a staff member. The two of them started to communicate. At this time, Billy went up to say something to Pitt, and then Pitt turned around and saw Zhang Wei and Li Mo, saying something to the white man he had talked to before, and walked towards Zhang Wei.

"Long time no see, Albert." Pete came forward and gave Zhang Wei a warm hug.

Zhang Wei also smiled and said, "Long time no see, it seems that the preparations here are almost done."

"Yes, the actors are already in place, and the set will be completed tomorrow. The producer decided to finish the indoor part first. There are quite a few fighting moves here. If you don't come again, the producer will get angry."

Zhang Wei said in surprise: "It will start tomorrow? Isn't there any opening ceremony?"

"Opening ceremony? No need, this is not China. We don't have those rules. Then the main creators and the leading actors will take a photo together." Pete said indifferently, and then said: "By the way, Williams will come over later. You can discuss music creation first. He is responsible for the music about this movie. I will call the producer later and ask him to screen out all the fighting parts in the script and make notes on the action requirements. You must set it up in advance.

I plan to guide the actors to meet the requirements of the script according to the situation on the set. Oh, I almost forgot that you have to play a supporting role in the script. Later, I will ask Robert to give you the script that belongs to you. Robert is my deputy director, who is responsible for shooting the schedule, and each actor's script is there. In addition, tomorrow the production and design will take photos of you. The producer said that this is to prepare for the promotion of the Chinese market. At that time, there will be special stylists to make the styling and costumes in the play for you..."

Peter and Zhang Wei did not have much greetings, but went straight to the point and talked a lot of things at work, and they talked for seven or eight minutes. If Zhang Wei hadn't had a surprising memory, he wouldn't have remembered so much.

After finally waiting for Pitt to finish all the work Zhang Wei was responsible for and involved in, Zhang Wei asked: "Is there any?"

"You're only responsible for so many things, Oh my God, I just realized that man, I haven't seen you for only two months, your English has improved a lot, I remember when you came last time, it seemed that you didn't seem so fluent."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I'm going to participate in your movie soon. You can't do English without any problems. After all, this is an American movie, isn't it?"

"You said very well, you can see that you are also a dedicated filmmaker, and what we want is professional." Pete was very happy that Zhang Wei could say this, and patted Zhang Wei's arm and said, "Albert, I plan to finish all the shots within 47 days, and you must do it during this period

Very hard preparation.”

"Uh...my agent should tell you that I need to attend a start-up ceremony on September 10th. I wonder if there will be conflicts in time?" Zhang Wei knew that most people in Star Stripes were straightforward, and just say anything directly, there was no need to be so tactful.

"I know about this. Ms. Zhang communicated with my assistant on the phone, so I plan to arrange the shots of the fight and the shots you participated in. As for the music part in post-production, even if you are not in Stars and Stripes, you can discuss it with Williams through the Internet in China." Pitt has made some arrangements. After saying this, Pitt's face turned solemn and said, "Albert, there is one thing I want to explain to you first. Making movies in Hollywood is different from China. We have a strict pre-examination mechanism here. This movie is essentially a commercial movie. If the fighting movements you design and the music you create cannot meet the requirements, it may be rejected by the producer and investor. At that time, the producer may arrange for others to replace you. These are written into the contract, so you must be mentally prepared for this."

"I understand." Zhang Wei nodded.

"Okay, I'll call Robert first and ask him to send your work arrangements over. If you find it boring here, you can go to my RV to rest for a while. Williams comes and I'll find someone to call you."

"No need, I'll just stay on the set and learn something by the way."

"You can do whatever you want. I will ask the venue to send you an ID card later to facilitate your entry and exit." After Pitt said that, he took out the phone and walked out while calling.

Zhang Wei watched the staff busy on the set. Not long after, a strong man wearing a hat came to Zhang Wei and took him and Li Mo to a room. Each of them took a photo, and then skillfully created two identity cards with barcodes. Zhang Wei's identity card was marked with "fight     choreographer" means "martial arts director", while Li Mo's identity card was marked with "asst", that is, assistant. In addition, the studio number, crew number and other information were marked on this identity card.

After getting the identity card, Zhang Wei and Li Mo came to the studio again. After watching other people's sets for a long time, they felt bored, so Zhang Wei wanted to find a place with Li Mo to sit for a while.

At this moment, Williams came and invited Zhang Wei to his car. Only then did Zhang Wei realize that there were few places for actors and staff to rest on the movie set in Stars and Stripes. No wonder so many actors and directors drove their RVs and nanny cars to the set.

In the car, Williams handed Zhang Wei the written requests for the soundtrack and the two songs in the film, and verbally explained the producer's standards for the film music. Overall, in the movie "Pilgrimage City", there are twelve songs and soundtracks, including intense, magnificent, dull, humorous, warm, soft, etc.

After Zhang Wei finished watching the producer's request, Williams couldn't wait to take out some very simple music scores he wrote and handed them to Zhang Wei, saying, "This is some directional style I have made. Look, give me some suggestions."

Zhang Wei took it and took a look carefully. He recalled the soundtracks in movies such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" in his mind. He felt that Williams's directional music scores still failed to deviate from the original style. In terms of magnificent soundtrack, Williams deserves to be a master, but he demands that the production manager has the fierce and dullness.

It's humorous, Williams is a little lacking.

Zhang Wei was organizing his words to discuss music with Williams, but his cell phone suddenly rang. The call was Pete, and the deputy director Robert arrived, and brought some script requirements for the script part and action part of Zhang Wei, and asked Zhang Wei to go to the C2 area of ​​the set to find them. So Zhang Wei, Li Mo and Williams came to the C2 area, found Pitt, and under the introduction of Pitt, he met the deputy director Robert.

Robert is a bearded man with a strong figure and many tattoos on his arms. He looks very much like the "heavy machine knight" of the Stars and Stripes. However, although Robert has a rough appearance and personality, he is still a very talented person. After a while, Robert introduced the producer's requirements for Zhang Wei's role and Zhang Wei as action guidance, and gave some very reference suggestions.

After chatting about work, when lunch was time, the staff put down their live meals, and Pete and Williams also wanted to welcome Zhang Wei. Several people walked out of the studio. Unexpectedly, Robert was really riding a large "Harley" motorcycle, with two exhaust pipes at the back. In this way, Robert was really a "heavy machine knight".

Perhaps seeing Zhang Wei's surprise, Pete said: "You don't have to worry, Robert is not a member of a gang, but a member of the 'Angelic Club', legal."

Zhang Wei said: "No, I think his motorcycle is so big."

Pete put on his seat belt and said to Zhang Wei: "Texas people like big things. If you go to Texas, you will find that the local area is full of cars, motorcycles, food, drinks, etc."

Williams, who was sitting in the co-pilot, added, "The guns that Texans like are all big guys, such as the 'Desert Eagle', 'Ryan Ball.500' and 'Barrett xm109', almost all sold to Texas."

When Zhang Wei heard that Robert was from Texas, he felt relieved. Although he was a Chinese, he had heard of the toughness of Texas. It is said that in Texas, most people have straightforward and popular tempers. They like Ford Raptors and Harley's heavy motorcycles, and have been exposed to guns since they were young. There was a very famous picture on the Internet. An old lady with a white-haired woman went to the supermarket to buy things with an M16 on her back. This picture is from Texas.

There is a short story in Stars and Stripes, which specifically describes Texas people.

A Mexican smuggled into the Stars and Stripes. When he came to a remote town in Texas, he was hungry, so he chose a tavern with only a few old men and women to prepare for robbery. When he entered the tavern, he took out his gun and shouted to rob, the old men and women who were originally infused with chicken blood immediately. Everyone found the pistol standard from somewhere. The Mexican who came to rob was holding 1911.45. The most exaggerated one was an old woman. In her trembling hands, there was a Colt python revolver. The caliber of the pistol was 44, and it was not a problem to deal with brown bears. The boss behind the counter also took out a 12g Mosberg shotgun and loaded it "clicked". The Mexican was directly scared to pee.

Although the story is short, it shows the customs of the people of Texas. If the Russians are fighting nations, then the Texans are super fighting nations, and the people are so fierce.
