Chapter 279 A New Beginning

"Cut!" James Cameron raised the microphone and shouted, very satisfied: "Good!"

"That's all for today, everyone pack up and get off work!"

The words like the ringing of the school bell aroused a burst of cheers. The relaxed Roland let go of Reese Witherspoon's hands, smiled and clapped her hands, "Have a good cooperation, Reese, you know , I don't want to NG."

"Oh! Me too." Witherspoon took off his dark green trench coat and fanned himself with the stand-up collar, and joked, "I think girls in the circle are very contradictory now. They want to Filming with you, but not daring to film with you..."

"Really?" Roland was happy, and while taking off the knitted sweater on his body, he and the other party walked towards the rest area, "It seems that they have good eyesight on people, and they know that I am a difficult guy to get along with... You also have a deep understanding?"

"Hey! You know I didn't mean that." Reese smiled and rolled her eyes, making a face at Roland.

Just when she was about to say something, the two had already walked into the range of the shuttle bus. Kate, who was dressed casually, took the clothes in Roland's hands, and then threw them to the assistant. At the same time, she handed him the towel, curiously Ask: "What are you talking about?"

"We're talking about James' brain."

Roland took over the conversation and said casually: "We think he has a brain problem. Obviously, the shooting schedule is eight months, and he will go through a complete winter, but he has to shoot winter scenes in summer. This is simply torture!"

"We're dying of heat..."

"Wow, if James hears what you said, he will take off his shoes and beat you again."

Kate pursed her lips and smiled straight, and she leaned closer to smell it while speaking, when the curious face suddenly changed, and the frown showed disgust, she agreed with it all, and blurted out, "Well, you're right, this is revenge... "

"Hurry up and take a shower, the smell from your body is almost killing me!"

As she spoke, she patted Roland on the buttocks like she usually urged Roland to take a bath.

Although he was eaten to death by Kate in public, Roland was not dissatisfied. Instead, he probed deliberately and pecked at the other party's neck. into the dressing room.

"Childish..." Kate pouted, but the smile on her face didn't fade away.

The next second, he turned his head to look at Witherspoon, and said apologetically, "Sorry, he ran away before you finished talking..."

"Ah! It's okay, I'm too hot..."

Witherspoon smiled and shook his head, expressing that he didn't care, "Then I'll go back to the dressing room too, bye~"

"Bye~"

The superficial communication is the daily life of the crew, and the scene of touching and breaking up is no surprise to everyone.

On August 8th, the day after the embassy bombing, "Spider-Man 2 and 3" were officially launched. Although it was a back-to-back continuous shooting, considering that "2" will be released on Christmas next year, and every Due to the actor's schedule, it is obviously unrealistic to shoot the overlapping scenes of the two films at once. ", and then shoot "3" to push the rhythm of the process.

Since it is a flat push, it is the safest way to follow the narrative process.

So, the love line between the second part and the first part is four years apart, which is the main content of filming.

Truck Driver wants to use a continuous montage to explain the love experience of Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker in the past four years. In the process, intimate actions are unavoidable, and Kate is filming with the group, so...

Seeing that the empress of the palace followed closely behind, those demons and ghosts who were trying to make trouble were also gone.

Of course, this is a good thing for Roland.

As a guy who likes to nip threats in the bud, he appreciates Kate's straightforwardness.

Emotions are such a fragile thing, only those guys with broken brains will emphasize the test.

After the birth, it is enough to take care of it, and do it again and again. In the end, only yourself will be hurt.

"Yo, you're all back? I thought you guys would talk for a while..."

Because the environmental conditions were not good, Roland just took a quick shower.

When he came out, Kate was already sitting in front of the iMac and reading the web.

iMac is a new all-in-one computer launched by Apple on August 15 this year. Although it has not been officially sold, Steve Jobs sent someone to test the machine after the press conference.

No way, who made shareholders like Roland rare in the world?

"Oh! Are you interested in her?" Seeing Roland sitting on the table, Kate moved the keyboard to the side, resting her chin in one hand, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you only interested in Kate?" huh?'

When she said 'um', Kate turned her nose directly and narrowed her right eye.

Although she didn't imply that she raised her voice when talking about 'Kate', she cast her eyes on Roland with a playful smile, which also prevented Roland from answering directly, because—

There is also a Kate in the crew.

That day, after Roland found out that the girls running for Mary Jane were all related households, he resolutely blamed the truck driver.

And under the careful selection of the other party, Kate Mara, who was pushed by Harrison Ford and Sidney Pollack, became the heroine.

So, if Roland answered directly, he would explode, "No, I'm only interested in you."

"goose…"

Kate raised her hand and patted Roland's thigh, and said happily, "Congratulations, you answered correctly."

"But no reward."

"Is everything done? Then let's go..."

Click the mouse lightly, turn off the iMac, pick up the PowerBook on the table and put it in the handbag.

Roland jumped down from the table, casually threw the towel hanging around his neck on the sofa, kicked his legs lightly, the slippers flew away, the forefoot stuck into the sneakers, and then he kicked hard twice, and the heels were also docile. up.

Behavior like this made Kate shake her head with a smile, handed the handbag containing the PowerBook to Roland, and then took his arm and walked out of the dressing room. The chaotic room was naturally handled by the staff, and of course they went back to the hotel.

Because the movie was filmed in New York, the working hours of the crew were arranged in strict accordance with the law.

In addition to "Titanic", the truck driver who recorded a double harvest of awards has become a Buddha, and Roland, who stopped filming after filming, has no schedule conflicts, so they don't want to work overtime, and their work and rest hours are shorter than those of white-collar workers who work from 9 to 5. Be regular.

As for the producer's idea?

What can Sony think?

Roland blatantly sold Yahoo shares to those private equity funds, and on the other hand went to the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting openly. If Sony still can't understand this kind of announcement, it is a fool!

Roland, who is not short of money, is unwilling to work overtime...

Then don’t work overtime.

After saying hello to the truck driver, the two drove away from the set. On the way back to the hotel, Kate and Roland chatted about the outside world, "Steve called while you were filming and wanted to know Are we interested in ATi."

"If he really wants to acquire, he hopes that we can reach a consensus with ATi as soon as possible."

Now that Kate has joined the team, Roland will not be the same as before, handing over his communication tools to his assistant for safekeeping during filming. After all, in this country where cooperation agreements can be finalized by signing only without official seals, if you don’t Keep an eye on it all the time, maybe you will get a contract of 16 million in minutes!

"Why is he in such a hurry?" Roland was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Kate.

"You should know this better than me, right?" Kate looked at the traffic on the road and said, "Steve said that Apple's current products all use graphics cards produced by ATi, and the next-generation iMac will be compatible with MacOS8. 5 and ATi graphics processor, if we can win ATi, then the cooperation is actually unnecessary.”

"Oh..." Roland elongated his voice, "So this is the reason?"

"But I haven't followed up on this matter at all, let him connect with David..." As soon as the words came out, Roland felt something was wrong, "Forget it, I'll call tonight to ask about David's situation, and then Just give him a call back."

Apple’s products have always used ATi graphics cards, and after ATi was acquired by the massage shop, they have also been cooperating with the massage shop. Although they flirted with Nvidia for a certain period of time, the two parties finally broke up.

The reason is also simple, that is, Nvidia, like IBM, does not like private customized services.

ATi and massage parlors do customized work, 'priority', 'exclusive supply', and 'individual optimization', these three points are the basis for their survival, and of course, the real reason why they cannot develop.

Like the M390, it is only developed to serve Apple. The market is already stuck. Where is the room for development?

However, Roland didn't have much psychological pressure on this kind of thing.

Without customization, where does the complete industrial chain come from?

Not a custom-made ATi who is plotting a fart?

Roland only had XBox in his eyes before, but now that Jobs reminded him, the importance of ATi has been raised again.

"Also, Peter came to Los Angeles, connected with Disney, and started casting." Kate said the content of the second phone call today, and not only that, she also showed off very proudly: "He also asked me, in the end Do you want to play the fairy princess..."

"You let him go!" Although he knew that Kate was joking with himself, Roland still shouted: "If he still calls to ask you, you tell him, if I invite you to act again, I will call Inform him - 'Youarefired'!"

"Hahaha..." Roland's angry appearance made Kate laugh again and again, she let Roland drive well while she huddled in the seat, and continued to tease: "Then what if he really wants me to act? What price will he have to pay?"

"It doesn't exist! I can't let you act, what's the use of him?"

"If, I said if, for example..."

"This assumption will not hold..."

"It has to be established!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm trying to trick you! I just want to know, is there anything you want from him?"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Did I lie to you?"

"Okay... I think, if you have to act, then at least he will give me half of the Weta Digital?"

"What? In your heart, am I worth half a Vita Digit???"

have to…

When the irritable voice came from the co-pilot, Roland, who stopped because he was waiting for the traffic light, looked helpless.

Pulled up the handbrake, and stretched out his right hand.

"What are you doing?" Kate, who wanted to continue questioning, was taken aback for a moment.

"I said the wrong thing..." Roland accepted his mistake very calmly, "Come on...I accept the punishment..."

"Hey..." Kate was very satisfied with Roland's righteous behavior. She opened her mouth wide and bit Roland's arm hard, but before touching the skin, her vermilion lips closed, "Mua..."

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go..." Looking at the lip marks on Roland's arm, Kate smiled and patted the back of his hand twice, "Stop messing around and drive hard..."

"Really?" Roland looked at Kate 'full of surprises', and said regretfully, "Then you are at a loss..."

"What?" Kate didn't understand.

However, in the next second, Roland quickly raised his hand and flicked **** the shiny forehead.

"Ow!" The painful Kate instinctively covered her head and exclaimed, wanting revenge.

But before she could do anything, Roland put down the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator when he saw the green light turn on.

"Stop making trouble! Drive hard! This is what you said..."

"you…"

Looking at the guy who was serious about driving on the surface, but actually complacent, Kate's breathing suddenly became much heavier.

And after comparing the cowardly appearance ten seconds ago with the present, Kate laughed angrily when she realized it.

"You did it on purpose?" Kate gritted her teeth and asked.

"Didn't you also do it on purpose?" Roland said in awe.

"But I didn't punish you!" Kate felt wronged.

"Yeah! I wanted to make us even, but you have to let me!"

Roland, who held the steering wheel with both hands, shrugged, and Kate covered his face with the look of 'you have to let me die'.

She originally wanted to tease Roland, just teasing him. After all, she usually played like this, and gained a lot of happiness from Roland, but now—well, Roland harvested happiness from her.

Although she also wanted to laugh and play Roland's brains, the smooth driving of the car made her put away her thoughts of dying.

However, even though she wasn't angry, even though she felt that it was natural for each other to win or lose each other, she still put her arms around her and told Roland very bluntly—'Come on me! '

Roland, who is cheap and good-looking, will not spoil the current atmosphere, "Okay, don't be angry..."

"Is it okay if I'm wrong? I shouldn't flick your head..."

"Can I massage your feet at night?"

"Why don't you take a break this week and I'll cook something delicious for you?"

"Are you shopping?"

"No, you should at least talk to me? Tell me Yes or No?"

"Why are you still ignoring people?"

"That…"

"I'll see if I have time this Christmas. If I have time, I will accompany you home?"

"Ah, no! I want to see my parents and grandma..."

When Roland said this, Kate, who had been holding back her laughter, finally couldn't hold it back, and broke through with a poof.

Looking at the smug guy, Roland complained: "You guy is too expensive, you have to pay so much to flick your head, if I knew it, I would give you a kiss, anyway, I have earned it..."

"Go home for Christmas, right? I asked James to adjust the shooting plan and try to spare a week."

However, Roland's words did not win Kate's appreciation, but made her ask in surprise.

I saw her counting with Roland with her fingers: "Who said that I will go home just for Christmas? I want to massage my feet, cook, go shopping, and go home... This is your own compensation. You can't play tricks." !"

"Also, I want to eat the rotten chicken you made last time..."

‘This is really only a child’s choice, adults I want them all! ’ Roland shook his head with a smile, and did not refuse, "Rotten chicken? Isn't that just shredded chicken? It's very troublesome to make that, and you have to go to Chinatown to buy materials..."

"Just go shopping~" Seeing that Roland was going to refuse, Kate became anxious, and even her voice became sweet and greasy.

"All right, all right, I'll do it for you..."

When the affirmative answer came out of Roland's mouth, Kate, who had been staring at him, showed a satisfied smile.

Although Roland's words were full of helplessness, the raised corner of his mouth was perfectly captured by Kate.

Glanced at the central rearview mirror, looking at the face full of doting, Kate pursed her red lips.

Even though she was used to all this, whenever Roland pampered herself again, she would still have new feelings.

"Roland, you are so kind..."

"Eh? Then can I not do it?"

"sure!"

"real or fake!"

"Of course it's true, stop dreaming!"

"…roll…"
