Two Hundred and Thirty-Five - All Come From Uninterrupted Success
The time is about to enter mid-October, and the preparation work is gradually coming to an end. Now we are just waiting for the final props, special effects model items, etc. to be finalized. Wayne expects to start filming by the end of October.
"We have made six sets of these things according to your request now, but after you start shooting, we can probably make about eight sets of these things."
In the studio of Warner Bros. Studio, Brooks Carter from Industrial Light and Magic is introducing the completed model to Wayne.
This is almost a simplified version of Gotham. The viaducts that were bombed in the film, as well as Bruce Wayne’s Batmobile flying over walls and buildings to be crushed, etc., all require the use of these gadgets.
In this era, this can be said to be one of the most economical and most expensive places.
However, this film does not rely too much on special effects, and the filming and post-production work are also kept simple. Last year's "Jurassic Park" by the good old man is the real special effects giant, and it is also a big spender.
Films like "Jurassic Park" were mainly produced on the Inferno system running on SGI super workstations. It is worth mentioning that this system is also the award-winning and world-recognized as the best film and television special effects production system.
From "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", "Twister", "Independence Day", "Collision", "Starship Troopers", "Godzilla", "The Mummy" to the most successful films in film history It can be said that the film "Titanic" and other major productions of the 1990s were all produced by this system.
There is no computer special effects these days that does not cost money, but the good news is that the cost of this aspect is decreasing year by year, which is one of the reasons why Wayne did not dare to directly shoot Super.
It doesn’t take much time, even in a few years, the cost will be reduced to an acceptable level. As long as it is a major science fiction production that relies on special effects, at least now there is no shortcut. You get what you pay for is the best explanation for it.
"Okay, to avoid accidents during the shooting, you need to make two more sets as soon as possible." Wayne checked it carefully. The skills of these people were beyond words. These scaled-down models can fully meet his requirements.
Brooks Carter saw that he was very satisfied and laughed. "Don't worry, all the work will be completed before the end of October. It will definitely not delay the crew's filming."
These things are not the most attractive thing. The car that the props team is tinkering with is the most eye-catching thing in this studio.
This is a full-scale Batmobile. It is different from the previous "Batman" movies and comics, and it is also different from the Nolan version in his mind, but this car is based on that magical modification.
The whole vehicle looks tall and powerful, and it makes people know that it is something not to be trifled with at first glance. The entire vehicle is in black, and the futuristic machinery and science fiction elements are specially added to make the vehicle extremely cool.
Even if this thing is parked there, it frequently attracts the attention of the staff. This is a big toy that men dream of.
Wayne's biggest purpose in designing this thing is to attract the audience's attention. It is also one of Batman's important equipment. Other than that, it’s just Batman’s outfit.
Christian Bale is adapting to this armor, and he communicates with the prop team from time to time. If there is anything that is not suitable, it is still too late to make changes.
With his assistant Nina, he moved to Liam Neeson's side. At this time, the actor had just finished exercising and sat down on the ground to rest with his upper body naked.
"how do you feel?"
Wayne also stood next to him and asked as he observed the changes in his body.
"Not bad." Liam Neeson and he have gradually become familiar with each other after this period of contact. "It's just simple action scenes, I think it shouldn't be a big problem, but some are too difficult..."
Having said this, he shook his head. He was an actor, and there were some things he couldn't do like professionals. There was nothing embarrassing to admit.
"That's enough." Wayne nodded with satisfaction. "You can't take away all the stuntmen's jobs, can you?"
Liam Neeson shrugged and said: "Of course, but I still hope that I can do it by myself. After all, this is a realistic style of fighting. I think after a period of training, it will not be a big problem to just deal with regular shooting. .”
In Wayne's eyes, this man's hard work is like the second Christian Bale. After "Schindler's List", he is no longer a nobody, and he can still take training so seriously. This requires strong self-discipline.
"Don't force yourself. I don't want anyone to get hurt in the middle of the film. You should understand that I can't let you take part in those dangerous actions."
While Wayne was chatting with Liam Neeson, all the staff suddenly burst into cheers, and some people clapped their hands vigorously, whistled, and shouted loudly.
"Bruce Wayne, my God, you're so cool!"
"Hey, hey, Grandpa Bruce Wayne is here to save us, haha."
In the center of the field, Christian Bale has put on a suit of armor and even put on a bat mask. His strong body, which had been trained hard for several months, coupled with this extremely cool outfit, aroused everyone's interest.
However, Wayne's attention was focused on a woman on the periphery of the crowd. Charlize Theron was also watching with interest. When she saw Wayne sitting here, she said something to her agent. A man ran over.
"Hi, Wayne, my agent and I came here to sign the contract. I didn't expect you to really have the heart to let me play a supporting role." She nodded to Nina, sat next to him and started to complain.
Charlize Theron's character is really just a sidekick, one of the ladies Bruce Wayne hugs in the film.
Regarding her future arrangements, Wayne had other plans in mind, and he was not prepared to let the audience remember her all at once, but after hearing her coquettish complaints, he still said:
"Warner Bros. is producing "Planet 2". You can also try that movie. If you want to go, I can help you say hello."
Anyway, they are all small roles, and there is not much difference in which movie they are in. This idea is not only shared by Wayne, but Charlize Theron also has it, but at least it is a job.
So she thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your heroine."
Wayne shrugged and said: "Ask your agent to take you directly there in two days. I will say hello to producer Gary Cooper and director Steve Oedekirk, but don't expect much. Drama.”
"Okay." Charlize Theron looked at him, rolled her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "How about I go to the manor to find you at night? Don't you miss me at all?"
"It's not very convenient these days. Let's wait for a while."
Without even thinking about it, Wayne rejected her directly. Naomi Watts is not Cameron Diaz. If this woman goes, it is estimated that not only will the threesome not be able to have fun, but there will be some accidents. No one Can guess.
"Okay, I'll go back first. Call me when you have time." She didn't bother after being rejected. She stretched out her hand to make a gesture of answering the phone, stood up and walked out of the studio with her agent.
Liam Neeson is very smart. Since Charlize Theron came, he immediately stood up and continued training. He would pretend not to hear some words he heard. He knows what this circle is like very well.
Wayne stood up and walked around the various preparation groups in the studio before returning to the office with Nina with confidence and continuing to start his work as a director, drawing storyboards and making shooting plans.
"Boss."
Nina held up the phone helplessly, still covering the receiver with one hand. "It's that girl named Angelina Jolie again. She has called dozens of times during this period. Do you want to answer the call?"
Wayne didn't even raise his head as he continued to calculate the precise costs of shooting the scene. "Just say I'm working and very busy."
"Okay." Nina took her mobile phone and walked out of the office quietly.
In fact, he was also very surprised about this matter. It stands to reason that after the audition, Nina had rejected the other party's invitation more than once. After the heroine was selected, the media under Warner Bros. also reported it, but Angelina Jolie did not. I still get phone calls from time to time.
This woman definitely didn't just want to chat with him, and Wayne didn't bother to guess what she meant. During this period, he was focused on work. Once he entered this state, it seemed that he didn't care about women so much anymore.
He knew very well that he could fascinate those women, but it was not because of his figure or his appearance. There were too many handsome men and beautiful women in Hollywood, and it was not his turn to attract women by his appearance.
Therefore, all power, status, money and women come from your own success, and you will continue to achieve success.
And these are all because of his work attitude and the concentration he has maintained since he started shooting his first movie. Even if he has advantages that no one in the world has, only by using the knowledge he has learned to focus on his work can he be able to Prerequisites for success.
Wayne never thought he was a genius. Even if he was praised to the heavens in newspapers and TV, he was always aware that he was definitely not a genius director or producer.
The real genius is Steven Spielberg, the truck driver, Christopher Nolan, and even among the producers, there is Jerry Bruckheimer.
Compared with these people who have never used cheats but have always achieved great success, Wayne feels that he is just an ordinary person, so he can only work hard and use the knowledge he has learned to use his "brain" differently from ordinary people. Do your best.
"Angelina Jolie said she would call back when she has time." Nina opened the door and returned to the office, saying to her boss.
"Don't worry about her."
