Two Hundred and Forty Six - Fly to New York

As time gradually enters mid-November, the crew also begins the final scenes here, most of which are fragmentary scenes of Christian Bale.

On the set of Clear Water Bay, the crew welcomed more local extras for the first time. Christian Bale stole an apple on the street for a while, was arrested by the police for a while, and started to get into trouble again as soon as the camera went off.

These are all lens materials that show Bruce Wayne going deep into the lower social classes and understanding crime.

Probably because of the difficult filming in the early stage and the torture of action scenes by action directors, Christian Bale's condition was much more stable when filming such fragmentary scenes.

At least he won't have the symptom of having to slow down for a few minutes before filming a scene. His perfect performance during the start-up period also won unanimous praise from everyone on the crew.

"Tim, how about it? At least we definitely chose the right person for the male lead, right?"

Zack Snyder was the one taking the photo today, and Wayne was quietly communicating with Tim Burton between takes.

Tim Burton nodded. "Yes, he saved us a lot of shooting time, and I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

On the set, there were several big men lying next to Christian Bale. A group of police officers suddenly rushed in, twisted his arms behind his back, and walked out of the camera range.

"Cut, this is no problem." Zack Snyder cherishes this opportunity. Even if he is shooting the camera, he can learn a lot personally.

Being able to control a crew of nearly 200 people, coordinate various departments, and shoot footage that meets the director's expectations is a very rare training opportunity in itself. Unfortunately, the footage here has already been shot.

"Okay, pack your things, we'll fly directly to New York tomorrow." Wayne stood on the chair and shouted loudly after receiving the loudspeaker handed over by Zack Snyder. "After arriving in the Big Apple, everyone on the crew will have two days off!"

"oh!"

After speaking, he shook his head with a smile, ignored the heckling of the crew, jumped off the chair, waved to the core team members, turned and walked into the director's trailer.

After a while, the three assistant directors, producers, photography, lighting, props, scenery and other supervisors all got on the trailer one by one.

Seeing that everyone was here, Wayne reached out and knocked on the table. After everyone looked at him, he said, "Zach, the same rule is that all the film after shooting is divided into two parts and saved. Hotel safe, deposit one copy in the bank.”

"No problem, I'll deal with the film issue first after getting off the plane." Zack Snyder straightened his upper body and patted his chest and said.

Glancing around the crowd crowded in the car, he looked at Tim Burton and Luke Simmons. “With regard to logistical issues, accommodation issues and street use issues in New York, we must ensure good communication to prevent problems from arising again.

With such a large investment in this film, these factors must not be allowed to affect the filming and delay the completion time. The film must be released during the summer season in May next year. "

This is his first summer masterpiece after a year. Hollywood insiders, media, and even a large number of movie fans are all waiting to see what Batman is like in his hands. Different, there must not be any mistakes.

"Don't worry." Luke Simmons nodded in agreement after seeing that Tim Burton didn't mean to say anything. "The preliminary work has been done. This time I go over and confirm everything again."

After saying these two things, Wayne suddenly became serious and stretched out a finger in front of everyone. "After arriving in the Big Apple, manage your respective staff well. If you let me know that you get into trouble because of smoking or taking contraband.

Then there is nothing to talk about. There is not even a chance. Listen clearly, there is not even a chance. I will directly let the contract speak for itself! This scope also includes you. If nothing happens, I won’t care. Whoever does, get out! "

New York is no better than here. In that chaotic metropolis, it is too easy to obtain those inducing contraband. It can be said that there are dealers on every street after dark.

Under Wayne's cold gaze, several department heads nodded gently. Seeing that they all understood what he meant, he waved his hand, indicating that they should all disperse, nothing happened.

"Tim, this is just the beginning."

After everyone got out of the trailer and went to direct and clean up the set, Wayne said to Tim Burton: "I don't expect the shooting in New York to be as smooth as here. As long as the actors join the set, they will Just finish filming within the planned time."

When he thought about the bad things that happened during the filming of "Joker", he felt that the city in New York was evil, and he would mutter in his mind, maybe he was not suitable to work in that metropolis?

Speaking of this, Tim Burton raised his hand and patted his forehead and said: "By the way, the parents of the little actor who played little Bruce Wayne wanted to film his part first. I agreed because that child His parents are quite responsible and don’t want him to waste too much study time.”

"Okay, no problem." Wayne agreed. "There aren't many shots anyway, so the scenes of Bruce Wayne Jr. and Thomas Wayne will be filmed first."

This is not a separate film. After it is released, if fans are careful enough, they will find that Bruce Wayne Jr. and Thomas Wayne are still the same two actors in "Joker".

In fact, for the first "Batman", there were not many changes in these personnel and story. The most changes will appear in the post-editing work and the structure of the film.

Christopher Nolan's first film used an editing method and narrative method that disrupted the timeline. If Wayne did the same, the finished film would undoubtedly have no mark of his film.

The situations faced by the two are also completely different. The current Bruce Wayne has not been frozen by Warner Bros., and Batman is still the most familiar superhero.

Almost everyone knows that when Bruce Wayne was a child, his parents were killed in a robbery. However, there are many different versions of the origin of the story of the death of both parents.

Wayne's purpose is very clear. Since "Joker" has already been mentioned, he will take over the story in "Joker" and use the version that appears in this film to deepen the impression of the public movie fans.

Because he witnessed the death of his parents since he was a child, little Bruce Wayne became the Batman who fights criminals and upholds justice in Gotham City as an adult. Even children know this story.

But how did Bruce Wayne become Batman? His life experience from childhood to adulthood is completely blank.

Wayne is currently filming this "Batman", but he has spent a lot of space exploring Bruce Wayne's motivations and reasons for becoming Batman.

So at the beginning of the film, he had already made a design. Swarms of bats flew by at dusk, and under the illumination of light and shadow, they formed a huge Batman logo in the air.

It can be said that with this opening design, Wayne interpreted the tone of the film. This film is about the birth of Batman.

And he has already made a plan. When the film is being edited later, he will use the linear narrative that he is good at and minimize the use of interrupting the timeline. This can greatly lower the threshold for watching movies, so that even children can understand it.

After all, he is different from Christopher Nolan. Wayne will never include personal goods in the film. When Nolan shot "Batman", he had the intention of proving himself, but Wayne did not have to worry about that.

What this first film wants is to lower the threshold for movie viewing, create a greater influence among ordinary movie fans, and lay a solid fan base for the second film. Only in the second film will he consider burying the film. Enter more clues and lead to another DC superhero.

"Are you sure you don't want to go out for a walk?"

The crew packed up everything and all the staff returned to the hotel. Since they were leaving tomorrow on a plane chartered by Warner Bros., many staff members walked out of the hotel and wanted to take a good look at this oriental city before leaving.

Naomi Watts stood by the hotel window, looking down at the hotel door staff heading out, and turned her head to look at Wayne. "Maybe we should go out for a walk, or buy some souvenirs. I heard luxury goods are very cheap here."

Wayne put down the flipped notebook in his hand and looked up to find that not only Naomi Watts wanted to go out, but the assistant girl Nina also looked at him with bright eyes when she heard about the luxury goods.

"Hey, don't look at me like this. If you want to go out, you can go together. I still have shooting plans to organize. Nina, you are not willing to spend money to buy things. You can also read when you go to a luxury store, which is different from reading magazines in a hotel. What's the difference? I really don't know what the use of saving so much money is."

The assistant lady curled her lips, looked at Naomi Watts, and then lowered her head and continued to flip through the magazine in her hand. If her boss doesn't go out, she definitely won't be able to go out. Who knows if he has anything to ask her about when he's working. Even when North America calls him, she needs to determine the purpose before she can give it to him to answer.

Whether it is problems in life or various matters of communication at work, Wayne can hardly do without Nina. This is also the most successful part of the assistant lady's work. If she succeeds in getting her boss to leave her, she will lose half of her ability to live. , and the greatest work assistance.

This also tied her up. For several years, she had not been in love once. Almost all the men who approached her had ulterior motives.

"Okay." Wayne put the pen into the notebook, closed it and threw it on the coffee table. "When I get to New York tomorrow, I will take a day to go shopping with you."

He looked at the two women who were pretending to be pitiful, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "In addition, I will pay for tomorrow's consumption, so Nina, if I were you, I would quickly open the fashion magazines with Nami and research which store on Fifth Avenue to go to tomorrow."
