Made in Hollywood

The winter sun shines through the sparse treetops and falls into the woods, shining bright spots on the ground. The cool wind blows slowly, causing the tall eucalyptus trees to make a soft sound of the branches touching each other. At this time, the hounds will always stand up. Ears, distinguish from the various sounds which are the wild animals that need to be killed.

Wearing a neat hunting suit, Duke carried a single-barreled shotgun on his back. With his tall figure and tough face, he looked like an excellent hunter.

However, the truth is that he is a no-compromise hunting rookie.

"All shotguns are used in shotguns, and the accuracy of the shooting is not required."

Leaning behind a eucalyptus tree, Tom Cruise was leading the hound and making some basic explanations, "But the recoil is a bit large, but it won't be a problem with your arm strength, pay attention to control..."

While there is never a shortage of gunfights and explosions in a film, that doesn't mean Duke is gun savvy, in fact he has very little experience with it.

Needless to say in the previous life, the chance to get access to real guns can only be described as 'rare'. In this life, when the film crew cooperated with the Pentagon to film, the soldiers and actors provided by the military used real guns without bullets. I have shot targets in private, but only a few times.

As for hunting, for Duke, who is busy, there is not much experience in the field.

Tom Cruise beckoned to Duke and walked towards the depths of the woods first, and Duke followed.

It is more suitable to say that it is not so much a forest as a wasteland with grass and trees. Except for a few bushes, only a few tall eucalyptus trees are scattered sparsely. The weeds on the ground are extremely tall, and the slightly yellow grass leaves are occasionally It will collapse with the passing cool breeze.

Duke had heard Tom Cruise mention at dinner last night that they were hunting deer and hares. In Australia, which is vast and isolated from other continents, because there are no naturally occurring beasts such as wolves, lions and tigers, large herbivores lack natural enemies and often flood into disasters.

In Australia, herbivores such as wild deer and hares are arguably a huge threat to operating farms.

The dog barked suddenly, and the hound rushed past Duke like an arrow from a string. Rushing towards the opposite bush, there were several deer chirping sounds from the bush, and a few wild deer seemed to be frightened and ran out of it.

Duke immediately took off the shotgun he was carrying, pushed and loaded the bullet skillfully, and ran a few steps to the front of a camphor tree, relying on the tree. Aiming at the running figure of the wild deer.

Tom Cruise's hound, apparently professionally trained, drove the deer in circles toward the Duke and Duo's neighborhood.

With the essentials of shooting in mind, Duke took aim at a buck with long horns, when the buck had to slow down and turn because of the trees. Pulled the trigger.

There was a throbbing pain in the shoulder bearing the butt of the gun, Duke heard the crisp sound of gunfire, and quickly looked up to see that the stag was intact. Not only still galloping, but also because of the sound of gunfire. run faster.

Baring his teeth, Duke pushed and loaded the bullet again, which is normal, if it hits. That's the surprise.

The crosshair was still locked on the stag, and before it ran out of range, Duke pulled the trigger again, and as the gunshot rang out, a few shards of grass flew over the wasteland a hundred and fifty feet away. , the deer let out a long cry, and then... ran away smoothly.

Just when Duke sighed and had time to practice his marksmanship, Tom Cruise behind another eucalyptus tree pulled the trigger. The soup had a bit of Ethan Hunter's style, and the moment the gunshot sounded. , About a hundred and twenty feet in front of Duke's left, a female wild deer fell to the ground.

And Duke clearly saw the blood spewing out.

"Good marksmanship, Tom." Duke gave a thumbs up there.

Tom Cruise turned his head and smiled, then put his fingers together and whistled, and the hound ran towards the fallen deer like a wind.

The rest of the deer scattered, Duke took up the shotgun and walked towards the prey with Tom Cruise.

"I'm just lucky." Tom Cruise smashed a withered grass, making a cracking sound, and said happily at the same time, "I might not have been able to hit ten shots before. It seems that today is my lucky day."

Running animals are extremely difficult to hit, Duke knows this, even if it is luck, it must have a certain shooting experience as the basis.

A rookie like him, even if the deer stood still a hundred feet away, might not be able to shoot.

In Hollywood movies, anyone who can touch a gun can kill all directions, and it only exists in movies.

Going around a few camphor trees and stepping on the grass that didn't reach his knees, Duke smelled a strong bloody smell coming from the front. He didn't feel any excitement when he smelled this smell. Chest tightness.

He is still a long way from being a master hunter.

However, given how busy Duke is, whether he can become a qualified hunter in this lifetime is a big question.

Avoiding the blood-stained weeds and ground, Duke looked at the wild deer shot by Tom Cruise. The wild deer seemed to have no breath, only the bullet-hole covered body was still twitching slightly.

Tom Cruise took out the walkie-talkie, notified the farm staff to clean up the prey, and then asked Duke what he meant, and the two and one dog continued to move forward.

After half a day, Duke fired more than a dozen shots. Except for the good luck, a shot shot hit a hare in the leg, and there was no other gain.

Later, Tom Cruise gradually showed his true level. He only hunted one hare, most of which was attributed to the hound, and the rest of the bullets were all empty guns. His shooting skills were not much better than Duke's. .

As the sun turned to the horizon, Duke and Tom Cruise stepped out of the woods and headed for the farm house in their SUV.

After saying a word to the driver in front, Tom Cruise's eyes turned back to Duke next to him, "How does it feel here?"

"not bad."

If you retire in the future, you can choose to find such a place to retire. This is Duke's real idea.

Tom Cruise pointed to the north side of the car, "Over there, next to this farm, the Kidman family has a large piece of land to sell. If you are interested, you can ask Nicole to contact them."

The Kidman family can be said to be Australia's largest landowners, but Nicole Kidman's blood relationship with them is actually very far away.

"If I have time tomorrow, I'll go take a look."

As long as the environment and price are right, Duke can let people come and buy it. "But even if I get it, I don't have much time to come here, and there are still a lot of work plans waiting for me."

"Speaking of work..." Tom Cruise put the farm aside temporarily, "Duke, have you thought about us working together again?"

"You should know my plan." Duke shrugged. "Tom, do you want to play a supporting role for a group of robots?"

If Tom Cruise originally intended, he would consider asking someone to revise the script. After all, Liangtang's appeal is still very strong.

"I know you always have a lot of ideas,"

Needless to say, Tom Cruise definitely doesn't want to play a supporting role for the robot. "There will always be a suitable project in the next few years, right?"

Duke shook his head, "Let's wait until I have the right idea."

In fact, he had asked Nancy to file a sci-fi script at the Screenwriters Guild, but he hadn't figured out when to start producing it.

And in the future of Hollywood, non-adapted movies will be more and more difficult to survive. Hollywood producers would rather throw their money on the adaptation of third-rate comics and novels than invest even a dollar in risky original projects.

After three days at Tom Cruise's farm, Duke left Brisbane to join Scarlett Johansson in Sydney for a South Pacific vacation.

Duke is enjoying his vacation, but some people are in a very bad mood.

In a studio of ABC TV in Los Angeles, Donald Trump walked off the stage with a gloomy face just after recording a new talk show. Since the news of Ivanka Trump came back, his His temper was multiplying, and he even had a big quarrel with the director before recording the show.

An important opportunity for the Trump Organization is fading away from him.

After entering the backstage to remove his makeup, Donald Trump is preparing to leave the ABC TV station and return to New York by plane as soon as possible. The current financial and real estate situation is extremely delicate, and even shows signs of collapse. For the General Group, it is undoubtedly very bad news.

"Hey, Donald."

Suddenly an unfamiliar voice sounded, Donald Trump looked back and saw that it was the former president of Walt Disney, Cook Dick, nodded slightly to him, and said with a bit of arrogance, "Is there anything you can do with me, Cook? ?"

The disgust in Cook Dick's eyes was fleeting, "Michael wants to talk to you."

Donald Trump walked over slowly, frowned and asked, "What is he doing for me?"

"I heard that you had a lot of trouble with Duke Rosenberg?" Cook Dick just relayed lightly, "Don't you want to get something that should belong to the Trump Organization?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Donald Trump nodded lightly, followed Cook Dick out of ABC TV and onto the closed sky bridge connecting ABC TV to the Disney headquarters building.

No one wants to fail, and Donald Trump is no exception, especially when it comes to billions of dollars in assets.

He knew that because of Pixar, Disney was the one who hated Duke Rosenberg the most of all Hollywood companies.

The enemy of the enemy can be used as a partner temporarily.

It wasn't until the next day that Donald Trump flew back to New York. (To be continued ~^~)
