Then, when we were filming with Mr. Hanks for the first time, we only filled the area off the stage with more than two hundred extras. Let them echo Forrest Gump, hold up signs of protest, and interact with Forrest Gump.

Shout some slogans and so on.

After the main scene was finished shooting, during the remaining day, I transported these people to other places around the pool and filled them in piece by piece. When the shooting was completed on the second day, we had the areas around the pool filled with people.

All the shots we needed, back in Los Angeles, we could overlay them all together.”

However, he doesn't know much about the details of special effects production, so he has to listen to the experts here.

"The most important thing is the main shot. The audience in the audience must strictly follow our plan. The standing area and the range of movements should not affect other areas. This requires some practice."

"In this way, I will give you a day to rehearse. When Tom Hanks comes over, he will rehearse the sequence of shooting before and after the speech with your extras. When the practice reaches a level that you think you can do it, we will shoot this sequence...

…”

"Am I responsible?" Ken Ralston was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's you. The most professional person here for this special effects shot is you. Everyone, including Tom, and I will obey your command. You must let everyone know when and what to do. I only apply

The two days of shooting can’t be wasted at all.”

"Ah, oh, okay, I will make sure to do it completely, director. I will definitely be able to ensure that there will be no problems during the official filming..." Ken Ralston was very happy to have such a director who trusted him so much.

he.

"You contact Alan Lewis, a member of our casting team, and discuss how many people, how many men, how many women, what costumes, and what slogans you want, directly with him. As long as I see a character that fits the hippie protests of that year

The result of the rally.”

After explaining what was going on here, Ronald ran outside the White House. He even managed to get half a day to shoot some shots here.

It happened that little Doug and Donna also came here to play. Their honeymoon was very comfortable. They were two rich people and not as busy as Ronald. They really wanted to go wherever they wanted. I heard Aunt Karen say

After learning that this movie might be very good, the two of them came to DC to check out Cousin Ronald's latest masterpiece.

"Just so, Doug, you're not afraid of public speakers..."

Ronald was overjoyed when he saw his cousin and her husband. It just so happened that there was one missing TV reporter covering the speech of Commander-in-Chief Johnson.

Originally, the script was to directly film President Johnson's speech, but because that speech was not in line with the common values ​​​​of the people in today's society, Ronald temporarily modified the script and changed it to a reporter doing live reporting outside the White House, leading to

Forrest Gump receives the Medal of Honor.

"Action!"

A portable camera started operating, and the little Doug in the lens was wearing a windbreaker and tie, much like a TV location reporter back then.

He is also a person in the political circle and is very skilled in public speaking.

"The ceremony has officially begun. The Commander-in-Chief first made a very sincere speech, talking about the necessity of expanding the war in Vietnam. Commander-in-Chief Johnson will also award the Medal of Honor to four soldiers who returned from Vietnam..."

"Cut!"

Ronald saw the image of little Doug in the portable news video recorder, which indeed looked very much like the reporter back then.

"Okay, I don't see that you still have the talent for acting."

"It's almost the same. Speaking to the camera seems to be more difficult than speaking to a large group of financial sponsors." Little Doug proudly showed off in front of his wife, making Donna burst into laughter.

"You guys have some fun first. I have something to do here, so I'll ask my assistants to accompany you." Ronald turned around and went back to his own business.

"Director, are Forrest Gump's military uniforms, these medals and honors correct?"

The costume team came over to ask Ronald for instructions.

"Let me see, the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Infantryman's shoulder strap, the Combat Infantryman Badge..."

Ronald was also familiar with this. He counted them one by one and asked, "What is this?" He did not recognize the service experience of the last two military representatives.

"This is the rifle expert badge, and commendation for outstanding units." Donna recognized it and reminded her.

"Ah, yes..." Ronald hugged Donna. These were all medals that his uncle had received when he was serving in the army. When Donna was young, she had recognized them one by one.

"This is my cousin, an expert in the US military's decorations and insignias..." Ronald introduced to the costume designer in a different way.

"Oh, no wonder. Do you think this recognition of an outstanding unit is right?" The costume designer thought that Donna was really an expert on Hollywood history.

"Most of them are correct, but for this outstanding unit commendation, since your protagonist is from the Army, you cannot use the Marine Corps' Naval Unit Commendation, but should use the Army's Outstanding Unit Medal..."
