Chapter 68 Famous Scene
After a short vacation, Anton went back to work again.
He directed the crew into the new institute grounds to continue the filming of the film Cyborg.
At the same time, Quentin Baker and his team joined the company, and were directly called by Anton to Hollywood to host the special effects work of "Steel".
It is also worth mentioning that the cult of Batman caused by the Lizardman incident is still fermenting in New York.
The Manhattan Bridge, the center of the bridge where Batman slaughtered the Lizardmen, has become a site for countless people to visit.
Even the Daily Bugle, which has a strong relationship with Batman, has become a "pilgrimage" for these people.
Seeing this, Eddie simply put up a Batman figure at the gate of the Daily Bugle, allowing the fans who came to take pictures.
After Anton knew about this, he ordered a special bat lamp and instructed Eddie to install the bat lamp on the roof of the Daily Bugle building.
At night, the bat lights illuminate the Manhattan sky all night long.
The giant bat pattern eclipses the moon too.
The bat lamp was on for seven days, and people were extremely surprised and cheered.
And seven days later, the bat light was completely extinguished and no longer came on. Even if people kept calling the Daily Bugle, they could not get satisfactory results.
Many people can't understand.
However, that's all for later.
In short, the Daily Bugle has benefited a lot from Batman's east wind.
Not only has it become an Internet celebrity newspaper, but the daily sales of newspapers have skyrocketed, making other newspapers jealous.
But if you can read but not learn, the Bugle Daily has a close relationship with Batman, especially Anton, the behind-the-scenes boss of the newspaper, who is also the director and screenwriter of the movie "Mystery of the Shadow". The popularity of Batman can be said to be blatant and natural.
If other newspapers followed suit, not only would no one care about them, but passers-by might spray them into autism, which would outweigh the gains.
In this regard, Anton was a little emotional.
In this world, the bat light is no longer the signal used by James Gordon to summon Batman, but has become an internet celebrity check-in place.
However, in the days to come, the citizens of New York will react sooner or later, as long as the bat lights are on, it means that Batman is in action.
...
Time flies, and another month has passed.
After the shooting of the institute scene, Anton switched from New York and returned to Hollywood.
At this point, the filming of the film entered the final stage.
Anton underestimated his filming speed.
Looking at it now, he estimates that there will be at most half a month before the film can be completed, and it will take less than 80 days in total.
In addition, Quentin Baker, who was dispatched to Hollywood early by him, flexed his muscles in the special effects department.
Baker and his team directly applied the holographic system technology they developed to the actors, achieved hallucinatory deformation through light and shadow effects, and then shot them in real scenes to achieve extremely realistic effects.
Of course, the current level of technology is far less exaggerated than after Tony's death, but it is also a huge breakthrough for today's Hollywood.
This almost raises the level of special effects in Hollywood to an incredible level.
It's like the transition from 2D technology to 3D technology.
Countless special effects practitioners regard Quentin Baker as a great scientist like Einstein, and they revolve around him like a fart every day.
A series of special effects orders, begging grandfather to tell grandma, found Anton's special effects studio led by Quentin Baker under the DC company, which was very rewarding.
Here, Quentin Baker not only made money, but finally found a sense of existence that has been missing for a long time.
He is more and more grateful to Anton and thinks he has found a good job.
And Anton saw Baker's results, estimated the progress, and found that there would be at most a month before the film could be completed and then released smoothly.
Press the time point, one month in advance, that is, now, you can carry out publicity!
On this day, when the filming was over, Anton found Jim.
"It's time to prepare a publicity plan!"
As soon as we met, Anton said bluntly: "At most half a month, Cyborg can finish, and with the help of Baker's new technology in post-production, we can finish the film within a month. Jim, about Cyborg's promotion, Give me a plan as soon as possible."
"What? You're almost done shooting?"
Jim was dumbfounded.
Although I knew that Anton was a fast shooter, I didn't expect that only two months later, this guy was already considering publicity.
These days, he has been running the other two crews of "Superman" and "The Dark Knight", and only for a short period of time. He didn't make progress with Anton, and Anton was about to finish the movie.
It gave him a dreamlike feeling.
Just like Anton a few months ago, when filming "Mystery of Xia Ying", he told himself how he felt at the moment when the movie was finished.
A swear word stuck in his throat and couldn't spit out.
Very complicated.
I didn't think so at the time, but now it looks like it's a good feeling.
If he can replicate the success of the last time, it means that Jim's joining the DC company is the most correct choice he made in the second half of his life.
"I'll go back and connect with people for publicity work."
Jim knew that he never had the right to decide the cooperation with Anton.
So he nodded and asked again, "Do you have any suggestions for publicity?"
"Film is the art of the public. I have confidence in the quality of this film. As long as it is promoted according to the normal process, the box office will not be bad."
Anton thought for a while and said, "However, this movie is starring black people. As long as it can be properly promoted and recognized by the black community, there is no possibility of this movie failing." Then he said with deep meaning, "Jim, You know what to do."
"I understand."
Jim smiled. As a first-line producer, he could fully understand what Anton meant.
The two talked for a while, and Jim said goodbye and left.
Anton returned to the hotel arranged by the crew. Meimei took a bath and was about to rest when she saw her personal assistant, Betty, knocking on her door.
"Hey, it's late!"
Anton was quite surprised.
Shirtless, he raised his eyebrows at Betty who was not looking sideways, and said with a smile, "I just warmed the bed for you, are you interested in sleeping together?"
"Good abs."
Betty glanced at Anton, her face was not red or her heart was beating, she calmly ignored Anton's language teasing, and said, "There is something you must be very interested in."
Anton was curious: "What?"
Betty said: "Tony Stark is not dead, he was found by the military in the desert of Afghanistan, and now it is estimated that he has arrived at the military airport!"
"Tony was found?"
Anton was stunned for a moment, then returned to his senses and smiled.
Counting the time, it's almost there.
It took almost three months from the release of "Mystery of the Shadow" to the time when "Steel Bone" was about to be completed, which was the time when Tony was tortured in Afghanistan.
"Stark Industries has just released a statement. Tomorrow morning, Tony Stark will hold a press conference at the Stark Industries branch in Los Angeles."
Betty's face was calm: "Tony Stark may say something at the press conference... Also, Eddie and Phil have arrived by plane overnight, and they think the Daily Bugle can't miss this press conference. ."
After a pause, she looked at Anton: "Anton, if you want to attend the press conference tomorrow, I will ask someone to prepare an extra ticket for you."
"Why not?"
Anton listened, nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile, "I don't want to miss the famous scene."
