Chapter 553: Seattle Documentary (Part II)
A Chinese crew adventure in the Seattle Police Department has just started and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Shen was so frightened and overjoyed that he grabbed all the crew members and held a meeting, once again reiterating the issue of safety and discipline, being in a foreign country is not only a representative of an individual, but also a representative of the image of the Chinese people.
The foreigners on the other side of the street took pictures one after another, and they didn't care if you were Liu Laosan or Wang Laosi, they would only remember that you were yellow-skinned.
This night, most of the crew didn't sleep well, and Zhou Shen simply stayed up all night.
On the second day, although the quality of sleep was not high, the big guy was also relieved, so he had the leisure to care about the specific details.
"Eh, Xiao Yang, what the hell are you doing?"
"Did you really buy marijuana? Did the police really pull out their guns?"
"Director Zhao, the police stuffed Xiao Yang into the car, why did he release it again?"
"Do those two really dare to shoot?"
A series of questions and details finally pointed to the phone that was passed on to Tang Wei and handed over to Zhou Shen and finally put in the hands of the policeβthe transatlantic phone call from Europe.
After two days, all kinds of gossip began to circulate in the crew.
"Hey, I'll tell you something, don't tell anyone, Forrest Gump knows Seattle's Black Club!"
"Hey, I'll tell you something, don't tell anyone, Forrest Gump is the boss of the Seattle Black Club!"
"Hey, I'll tell you something......"
The crew is a small river, and plausible gossip is always the most popular, and soon, Forrest Gump, who is still in Europe, put on several layers of identity in the mouths of the public, and these coats once made Wu Rustbo and Tang Wei, who were just laughing, a little confused.
Forrest Gump has a big background? He has a unique "industry" abroad?
The crew ran for a few days, the camera was a little stumbling, Wu Rust and Tang Wei were working together for the first time, and the two ran in a little slowly, but after all, they gradually became familiar with each other, and after discussing the script, they would also talk about the producer Comrade Forrest Gump.
Two days later, the crew ran into problems with filming, and there was a scene that required a temporary road closure, but the application was denied by the Seattle government department on the grounds of disrupting residents' lives.
Zhou Shen discussed with the assistant director, and finally adjusted the framing time, even if the effect was not good, it was better than not being able to shoot.
However, the application was still not approved.
At the same time, the crew's application to the Empire State Building for filming was also denied.
As a director in charge of a crew, Zhou Shen suddenly felt a lot haggard, which affected the quality of his shooting, killing countless shots for two days in a row, and the atmosphere of the entire crew was a little sluggish.
β¦β¦
The weather in Seattle was still a little cold at the end of April, and a little rain made it even more chilly.
Zhou Shen sat in the car and was a little distracted, while Tang Wei and Wu Rustbo whispered a few words about the play from time to time.
The three of them and a driver were driving to the airport to pick up Forrest Gump, who had finally arrived from Europe.
Ringing rings, short cell phone rings.
Zhou Shen picked up the phone, said a few words, and hung up.
"What? is this already here?" Wu Rubo asked.
"Well, arrived early. Zhou Shen glanced at the time, "It's actually twenty minutes early." β
"Forrest Gump is also in a hurry, and I also saw his report on his attendance at Givenchy last night. Tang Wei is a little envious of others, and luxury brands are one of the witnesses of a celebrity coffee position.
Although because of the support of Anle Films, she has also received endorsements from several big brands, but she has not yet been placed in an important endorsement position for luxury brands like Forrest Gump.
In the report she saw yesterday, Forrest Gump attended the event with the world's top stars, and he was the only oriental face, which attracted attention.
In addition to the driver, each of the three people in the car had three ideas, and the atmosphere was slightly dull.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.
The airport is very large, but Forrest Gump is very conspicuous, looking from a distance, the dense crowd and the words "Forrest Gump" and "star" popping out of the mouths of passengers passing by from time to time all show that it is the producer who is going to pick up the airport today.
Zhou Shen, Wu Rubo, and Tang Wei looked at each other and walked over there.
When he got closer, sure enough, it was Forrest Gump, who was wearing a black trench coat and was smiling and taking photos with fans.
"Hey, friends, I'm leaving. In this way, how about we take a group photo at the end?" Gan Jing saw Zhou Shen and the others with sharp eyes, and hurriedly took advantage of the group photo of the people next to him, and said loudly.
He smiled and beckoned the four bodyguards to maintain order, and posed for a group photo in the direction of Zhou Shen and the others.
When this group photo was over, the bodyguards protected Gan Jing in the middle and cleared the space where he walked.
"Let's go, get into my car. Gan Jing beckoned to the three of them and said with a smile, "I said I wouldn't pick me up, the three of you are still here." Well, let's talk about the situation on the way. β
The three were placed in the middle by the bodyguards and quickly boarded the car.
"It's colder here in Seattle than in Paris. Gan Jing sighed, looked at the three people, and said a little puzzled, "Director Zhou, Brother Rust Bo, Tang Wei, why are you so lifeless? I thought that this film could arouse your motivation." β
Zhou Shen smiled bitterly: "Forrest Gump, the crew has encountered some problems in the past two days. β
Gan Jing's eyes froze: "Well, say." β
"The crew's request for a local road closure for filming was denied. Zhou Shen's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to continue, but Gan Jing waved his hand at him.
"Okay, I see, I'll ask. β
Zhou Shen was stunned, swallowed the application process he wanted to introduce in his throat, and continued to say the second thing: "The very important scene in the script was to be shot on the Empire State Building, but this application was also rejected. β
Gan Jing continued to nod: "Okay, I'll ask when I go back." What else?"
"Uh, that, and, that ......" Zhou Shen suddenly didn't know what to say, why did it sound like the two problems that plagued the crew sounded so indifferent here in Forrest Gump.
Wu Rubo glanced at Zhou Shen: "At present, we are encountering these two problems. β
Gan Jing thought thoughtfully: "Hey, I thought there was a problem with the shooting camera and performance." As he spoke, he suddenly said happily, "That sounds like pretty good progress." β
"Hmm......" Zhou Shen didn't know what to say, and he was a little skeptical that things would be resolved as smoothly as Forrest Gump said.
The nanny car drove to the hotel, and there was a lot of time on the road, so Zhou Shen thought about it and introduced the application process.
Gan Jing listened with a ride, and by the way, he asked about the police incident he met a few days ago, and finally said in an inexplicable tone: "Don't worry, these are relatively normal and easy to apply for when the crew shoots." The problem now is only discrimination. I'm here, and this will be easier to deal with. β
Zhou Shen was stunned: "Discrimination?" He didn't think about this at all.
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
Gan Jing asked rhetorically, and suddenly his interest was a little dull.
