Although the protagonist Annie works in Baltimore, besides some exterior shots in the Sun Newspaper Building and other places in Baltimore, all the other shots of Annie's role were filmed in Manhattan, New York.
The reason Eric did this was to take care of the preparations for Home Alone 2 at the same time, most of the scenes in "Home Alone 2" were near Central Park in Manhattan.
In the renovated apartment, Eric called "Action" again and then said to a chubby white woman in her thirties: "Ms. O'Donnell, when you say those lines about your character's ex-husband, try to be a bit sharper. Remember, when you say that pa.s.sage, you should have a feeling of resentment in your heart, because everything was the fault of your ex-husband and had nothing to do with you."
Roch.e.l.le Austin, who was cast to play Annie's roommate, shrugged her shoulders and said, "You know, director, I don't have any feel for this kind of thing, so maybe we'll need to do a few more takes."
The cast around her laughed lightly, as Rosie O'Donnell had said that the already 36-year-old rapper and actress was not only an extreme feminist, but also a lesbian. More importantly, she had never tried to hide this like other public figures, as she had a steady same-s.e.x partner and they had already been living together.
Although coming to New York, since there are more chaotic shots needed than in Seattle, there are bound to be some problems, but so far, the filming progress is still consistent with the previous expectations, so Eric is not in a hurry. Hearing Rosie O'Donnell say this, he laughed with the others and said, "No rush. We will take our time; I believe you will get the feel after a few more times."
Rosie O'Donnell nodded, and Eric immediately beckoned for the start of the next shoot.
This shot takes a long time. Therefore, the performance demand for Nicole and Rosie is high, and they have failed several times before. None of them succeeded.
According to the dialogue between the male and female protagonists of 《An Affair to Remember》 when they made an appointment, the crisp sound of the clapperboard guided Annie to write a letter.
Anne finished typing on the typewriter with a bang and realized that she was a little crazy, she was obsessed with the idea of meeting another man on Valentine's Day at the top of the Imperial Tower, like the one in the movie 《An Affair to Remember》. She realized that was the same day she was supposed to meet her fiance, Walter.
She frantically scratched her hair, and Anne crumpled up the letter she had written and threw it away.
Becky picked up the little paper ball she had dropped on the sofa and looked at it, then said with a complaining face, "You know, because of that awful fate, I married Martin and bought a house with a dead tree, so I divorced him, and I even ran into Rick in a car accident."
Becky said the words without any remorse, but the expression on her face showed hatred. Eric nodded slightly behind the monitor, but he felt that Rosie's expression was a bit exaggerated at the moment, but he didn't stop her immediately. Instead, he let the conversation continue.
Anne sat down beside Becky with a bowl of popcorn, listening to her friend's complaints. With enthusiasm, she asked, "Wait, didn't you say you got divorced because of a tree?"
"It's because of the gardener," Becky blurted out.
Annie asked, "Have you fallen in love with the gardener?"
After Becky said that, she showed a brief moment of panic, then said, "Did I say I was in love with him? Have I said it?" Becky asked in return. Then she quickly changed the topic and directed Annie's attention to the drama 《An Affair to Remember》 playing on the TV.
Anne followed Becky and started to recite the cla.s.sic lines of the male and female protagonists from the TV show. When they came to the emotional part, they both cried out uncontrollably, but their expressions were extremely exaggerated. Thus, not only did it fail to evoke a sense of sadness or emotion, but it was actually quite funny.
Ha ha!
Eric heard a brief chuckle, and his eyes immediately swept towards the source of the sound from the monitor he was staring at. He shot a stern warning look to the light technician who made the chuckle, who quickly apologized to Eric.
At first, Eric thought he could edit the shot of two women looking stupidly at the television for the movie, but with that laugh, the shot was ruined.
After calling stop, Eric rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, I know it's funny to many men to see two women crying like crazy over a romantic comedy, but remember, you guys are working now. If anyone can't help it, go out. If you get caught making trouble later, even if it's not intentional, I won't let you off easily. Everyone get ready, let's do it again!"
After a few more takes, the shot finally pa.s.sed and it was already noon.
Eric announced the shooting pause and was about to go for lunch when Elizabeth rushed in.
Eric, Donald Trump has been waiting outside for you for two hours, but I didn't notify you since you were shooting just now. Do you want to go and see him?
Eric skeptically asked, "Who is Donald Trump? Are you very familiar with him?"
Elizabeth explained, "Not too familiar, just acquainted. He's a real estate tyc.o.o.n in New York, and there are buildings named after him in many places in the United States. He's a very powerful person, and I've met him a few times at parties before."
Eric listened to Elizabeth's narrative and quickly dredged up some fragmentary information about Donald Trump from his memory. The information was not too much; it seemed that Donald Trump had left his own star on Hollywood Boulevard with a few fiery variety shows as an outsider. It seemed that this person was quite capable of making trouble.
At the same time, Eric quickly remembered the other party's beautiful daughter, Ivanka Trump, because Ivanka had been praised by the benevolent media as one of the world's top ten unmarried female billionaires in the previous world, with a wealth of more than 2 billion US dollars. Eric had seen Ivanka Trump's photos on the Internet, which was indeed a big beauty, with a few similarities to "Fan Bingbing" in the previous world entertainment circle.
Although Eric remembered this person, the two of them were in different fields: one made movies and the other was in real estate. So Eric wasn't very interested and asked, "I don't know Donald Trump; what does he want with me?"
Elizabeth shrugged. "Who knows? I'm just here to let you know. If you don't want to see him, I'll tell him you're too busy."
Eric looked at his watch and said, "Since Mr. Trump has been waiting for me for two hours, let's see him. Anyway, it's lunchtime now."
"Come with me," Elizabeth said, taking Eric with her as she headed towards the film set.
Eric quickly saw a blond, middle-aged person in their forties wearing a gray wool coat.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Williams," Seeing Eric walk out of the scene, the middle-aged man who was sitting in a luxury car quickly crawled out and warmly shook Eric's hand.
Eric was a bit perplexed by this familiar stranger, but he still smiled and said, "h.e.l.lo, Mr. Trump. May I ask what brings you to me?"
Donald Trump seems to appreciate Eric's directness, laughing, "I think you should almost be in lunch time; let Miss Murdoch help pa.s.s the word, Eric, don't mind me calling you like this; there is a good restaurant nearby; I have already booked a seat; can I invite you to have lunch together?"
Eric wasn't particularly bothered by the symmetry of the call, nodded, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Trump, I only have an hour of time, so I'm sorry... "
"I promise not to delay your work; the restaurant is around the corner of the street in front," Donald Trump said, pointing not far away.
Eric, faced with Donald Trump's enthusiasm, didn't know how to refuse at first. He looked back at Elizabeth, wanting her to help him out of his predicament. But Donald Trump obviously misunderstood and immediately said, "Miss Murdoch can come too."
Elizabeth, who was just about to help Eric find an excuse, shook her head immediately when she heard herself being dragged into it, "No need, Mr. Trump, I still have something to do."
"That's a shame," said Trump, shaking his head, then cheerfully opening the door of the luxury car for Eric. "Eric, let's go."
I don't think I said yes yet, Eric muttered to himself. But seeing the other person's att.i.tude, refusing again would be too rude, so he had to get in the car. Donald Trump followed and ordered the driver to go to the destination.
The two arrived at a restaurant and were led by the waiter to a quiet corner seat.
Donald immediately sat down on the chair and instructed the servant to start serving the dishes. After the waiter left, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully looked at Eric, who was sitting across from him.
Since 1987, the crash of the US stock market has also affected the real estate industry, resulting in a major recession in the real estate market.
