In October, "Star Wars 3" officially started filming.

Because I couldn't bear to part with Xiao Yexin, the location of the outdoor location was chosen in Yameriga.

For example, the planet Tatuyin was filmed in the desert in Tunisia, but this time it was changed to film in Arizona; the Ivokites (Bears) lived in Endo Star was originally planned to film in New Zealand, but now it has been changed to film in Sequoia Forest Park, California...

In this way, Xiao Yexin does not have to go on a stroll along with the crew, which can facilitate Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia to take care of each other nearby.

Moreover, the officials of California and Arizona also welcomed the filming of "Star Wars 3" here.

Because the Star Wars series is now the most famous action science fiction movie in Hollywood and even the world, with a box office of more than 1.3 billion US dollars and has attracted tens of millions of fans.

These fans love this series of movies very much. They not only enjoy the movie over and over again, but also talk about the characters, plots, lines, props, etc. that appear in it, but also love the house and the Uzu and all its peripheral products.

For example, laser swords, star destroyers, black warrior suits, character dolls, novels, animations, comics, games, etc. based on "Star Wars".

And its location has also become a pilgrimage place for many movie fans.

In the first "Star Wars: New Hope", the filming place of the Tatuyin planet, Zaisibat, Tunisia, was originally just an unknown border town.

But after the movie was released, it immediately became a popular tourist area. The number of tourists received in the first year reached 500,000, and now the number of tourists is one million every year, making this desolate border town prosperous.

In the second "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", the filming site of the planet Hoss is the small town of Fense in Norway. This town was not very famous before. It immediately became a tourist hotspot after the movie was released. Now the number of tourists each year is as many as one million, creating billions of dollars in output for the town.

The Norwegian government also sent a special letter of thanks to Myth Film for this. Fense Town also offered honorary titles to Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia, Harrison Ford, George Lucas and others.

With such a successful precedent, the California and Arizona governments naturally welcomed Star Wars 3 to film them. In order to attract business, they also actively provided various support and help.

For example, Arizona gave this movie a $50 million tax cut, while California provided a $30 million subsidy. It can be said that the support is quite strong.

...

On October 5, "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi" was officially launched in the small town of Wilton, Arizona.

"Mr. Ye, I'm glad to be working with you again." Harrison Ford happily held Ye Jin's hand.

Originally, George Lucas was preparing to give up using Harrison Ford in the third part.

Because after filming the "Star Wars" series and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", his net worth soared, even surpassing the pay of Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia. The combined pay of the three of them exceeded 20 million US dollars, which also puts a lot of pressure on the crew.

In addition, Harrison Ford was frozen in the second part and was like death, so George Lucas planned to write him to death directly.

However, Ye Jin still convinced him. Because Harrison Ford's Han Soro, after the interpretation of the previous two movies, has become the most charming character in "Star Wars".

As an interstellar thief, he is handsome, unruly, both righteous and evil. He is a typical prodigal son. He is like a 007 character and has a fatal lethal power to female audiences.

With him, the box office of Star Wars 3 can increase by at least 100 million US dollars. If he is missing, the box office will probably shrink greatly, so it is better to keep him.

Furthermore, the third script has been written long ago, and Han Solo is the key character. If it is deleted, the whole story will be demolished and started over again, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of investment.

So Ye Jin would rather spend $8 million to hire Harrison Ford than to have any inappropriate box office in "Star Wars 3". Because Ye Jin is an investor, George Lucas did not insist.

Harrison Ford knew about this, so he was very grateful to Ye Jin.

Although with his current fame, Harrison does not lack filming at all. He can receive invitations from dozens of movies a year, including many big directors and big producers.

For example, this year he filmed "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" and continued to work with Stephen Spielberg. The film was completed in July and is now in post-production and is expected to be released on Christmas time.

Last year, he filmed "Blade Runner" with Ridley Scott, who became famous in "Alien"; two years ago, he collaborated on "Apocalypse of the Modern" with Francis Coppola, who is famous for the "Godfather" series...

However, Harrison Ford understands that the fame and status he now has come from the Star Wars series.

This movie is the best-selling science fiction action movie, with more than 100 million Star Wars fans around the world, and it can be regarded as the hottest IP in Hollywood. His ability to star in this movie will definitely boost his career. Even if he will not go up to the next level, he will maintain his popularity.

"You're welcome, I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with you." Ye Jin smiled.

Harrison Ford is the highest-grossing actor in Hollywood. Even superstars such as Tom Gott, Will Smith, and Tom Hanks are all sighing and ashamed of being inferior to others.

It is also a good thing for Star Wars 3 to be able to join such a box office superstar. And $8 million sounds expensive, but it is actually worth the money.

You know, despite the few scenes in "Star Wars 7", Harrison Ford received a $25 million salary and a box office dividend of 0.5%.

...

The filming of the movie was started and the process was relatively smooth.

Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia, and Harrison Ford have worked together many times. After the initial running-in, they quickly restored their previous tacit understanding.

After director Irving Kshner last directed "Star Wars 2", he accepted the invitation to direct "Star Wars 3" this time, and he is also very familiar with it.

The only trouble is that because the crew filmed the scene in America, it made it easier for fans to visit the set.

Although the crew has hired a security team to prevent leaks from happening, and even pretended to be other crews to shoot, they still cannot escape the harassment of fanatical movie fans.
