As the night wore on, Chicago seemed to be a little quiet tonight, Beckelman pushed the door and walked out of the bar, burped hard, shook his head after drinking too much, and staggered forward, walking not far to Wacker Street, the main road in the Chicago area, which has always been full of traffic, and it was easy to hail a taxi without having to call it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that today is a little special, he dizzily tore open the two blockades, stood on the side of the road on Wacker Street, looked strangely to the left and then to the right, not only did he not see any moving vehicles, but even the whole street looked extremely empty except for a few cars parked on the side of the road.

What happened?

Beckelman couldn't help but scratch his head, his brain paralyzed by alcohol was a little sluggish, why couldn't even anyone see this bustling neighborhood?

Pestilence? War? Zombie siege? Or is it an alien invasion?

He is already a science fiction fan, and with the effect of alcohol, many inexplicable ideas pop up in his mind at this moment.

Suddenly, Beckermann saw a man, across the wide street, and a man was waving at him and yelling, as if to tell him to get out of the place as if there was danger.

Is there really something big happening?

Beckermann, though drunk, took a few steps back cautiously, and at that moment, a roar suddenly came from the intersection hundreds of feet to the left, and the sound was so loud that it was deafening even from such a distance.

Immediately after, a bright light fell from the sky, shining on that side, and the sound of the propeller of the helicopter was also heard.

Sirens, car motors, all of a sudden.

Is it the police who are chasing the culprits?

As Chicago with a long history of gangsters. This is not too unusual.

Just as Beckermann was thinking, a bright light suddenly came from the side of the intersection, and then it turned around, and the light was so bright that it illuminated almost half of Wacker Street.

"Uh......"

Seeing the monster in the light, Beckerman's mouth opened wide unconsciously. "What's that?"

It was something that looked a lot like a car, but it had a strange shape, and it didn't look like an ordinary car, especially the various black materials wrapped around it, like armor......

But is there such an armored car or a tank or a car in the world?

Beckelman shook his head at once, and at that moment, the monster rushed across the road in front of him at a speed of about a hundred miles per hour, the tremor of the ground crushing and the wind it took. almost knocked him to the ground, and then followed by more than a dozen police cars, in front of that monster, they were simply sissies in the car.

Are the police chasing that monster?

Seeing this, Beckelman understood, but he couldn't figure out what that monster was, and so many police officers had been dispatched. Even the entire Wacker Strasse was evacuated......

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him. The whole person trembled with excitement, and quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed the phone number of Chicago TV.

"Hey, is it a TV station?"

Receiving a confirmed reply, Belkman spoke loudly with a drunken mouthful. "I saw aliens! It's not a joke, I saw an alien spaceship on Wacker Street and the police are chasing it......"

The helicopter in the air was still hovering, and Duke sat on it, examining the footage that was constantly being transmitted to the monitors. Occasionally, I would look through the window and look at the street below that was chasing cars, and I was in control of the whole situation.

In order to shoot this car chase scene, the crew did a lot of preparations, from him and Hannah? Serena and John? After Schwartzman's visit to Chicago, eighteen stunt drivers came to the vicinity of Chicago to train their skills and familiarize themselves with the road conditions, which they prepared for months.

Duke's fame also played an important role, and the city of Chicago not only fully cooperated with the crew, but also gave unprecedented support, and several blocks of the city were temporarily closed to vehicles in order to shoot crazy car chase scenes.

This has been happening more and more in recent years, and governments across the United States have offered various conveniences and tax incentives in order to win over large Hollywood crews, and the exodus of Hollywood crews is very serious, and fewer and fewer films are being shot in the Los Angeles area.

The impact of a successful film on a city is actually huge.

Even those who are staunchly anti-Duke have to admit that he turned New Zealand into a tourist destination for the whole world with the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

What's more, Chicago's financial situation is worse than that of Los Angeles, and although it is not as exaggerated as Detroit, the heavy industrial city has also been rumored to go bankrupt several times.

The helicopter pursues the Batmobile, which sps like a rocket down the road along an elaborate route, stopping every now and then to make the right adjustments to knock over the pursuing police cars, a supermonster that is unbeatable even when filmed.

In the city, in the face of ordinary criminals and lightly armed cops, Batman is simply like a tiger.

Filming continued until the early hours of the morning, when Duke called it a day, and the cleaning company hired by the crew then drove into the neighborhoods and began to clean up all kinds of rubbish left behind by the crew after the car accident.

When Duke got off the plane and joined the crew on the ground, the media reporters who came from all over the world had already surrounded the neighborhood, and even blocked the way to leave, so that he would not let him leave without saying anything.

Duke could only be interviewed, but he talked about it in a coping style, except for a slight surprise when the reporter mentioned that someone had called the TV station at night and said that the Batmobile he had seen was an alien spacecraft.

"This shows that the crew's Batmobile is really different and spectacular."

After leaving these words, Duke, with the assistance of the security personnel who arrived, got into his car, left Wacker Street, and returned directly to the hotel.

The filming in the Chicago area was all done at night, even with the support of the city government, with the busy traffic conditions in Chicago during the day, it was impossible to shoot normally, and the scene of the Batmobile's rapid advance was filmed in only one night, but those crashing scenes were more tedious and time-consuming to shoot.

These collision scenes, which are Duke's forte, actually didn't take long to shoot, and most of the time was spent on preparation, and a few seconds of crash shots often took hours to arrange.

It is undeniable that there are many ways to make a cut, but there is no trick in the preparation for a live shoot, otherwise it is likely that the actors will be injured and other troubles.

Duke never fights unprepared wars, and every shoot is meticulously pre-prepared.

Only this time, he ran into a little trouble, and he still hasn't got the location of Wayne Manor, unlike the modern villas all over the United States, the Wayne family is a typical family with a long history and tradition, and the manor needs a sense of quaint heaviness, otherwise he can borrow or rent the manor villa from Malibu casually.

Originally, the crew finalized an old-fashioned manor house in the suburbs of Paris, and it is said that the owner of the manor is still a duke, but after Duke led the crew to Chicago, the other party suddenly repented and would rather pay liquidated damages than let the crew use his own property.

The other party is neither short of money, nor has anything to do with the film industry, he doesn't care about his opinion at all, the most important thing is that he is willing to pay liquidated damages.

Duke had no choice but to give up, and only sent the crew's lawyer to Paris to discuss savings and the receipt of liquidated damages.

If it is replaced by a grumpy director, this time will definitely be bright, but fortunately, Duke has always been calmer, and he knows that he is not the center of the world. Rowan searched for a suitable location as soon as possible.

"Your dark circles are coming out."

In the hotel's Italian restaurant, Erin, who came to visit the class? Lauder looked at Duke, who had been working at night lately, and said, "You can't be worried about this, right?" ”

"Is it obvious?"

Duke couldn't help but rub his eyes, the life of white and black upside down was not pleasant, "It'll be fine after a while, the Chicago drama is coming to an end." ”

Erin picked up the water next to her, took a sip unhurriedly, and continued, "Maybe I can help you solve this problem." ”

"Then I won't say thank you."

Can you see Erin? Lauder wasn't joking, and Duke wasn't polite to her, "Honey, better hurry." ”

In fact, he didn't need to shoot inside the villa, the interior could be set up in a studio, and what he needed most was undoubtedly a panoramic shot of the outside.

"My cousin has a manor house in the northern suburbs of London," said Irene? Lauder took out a pen, wrote an address on a napkin, and pushed it to this side, "The estate was built by the Rothschild family in the 1950s and is only an hour and a half drive from London. ”

Duke picked up the napkin and looked at it, and heard Erin say again, "I'll go back and say hello to my cousin, it should be fine." ”

"I'm just shooting some location scenes." Duke did not refuse the offer, "I won't go inside the villa to shoot." ”

This meal has only been eaten for more than half an hour, Erin? Lauder came to Chicago and still had a job, so she quickly quit and left, but she made an appointment with Duke to watch the crew shoot on the set at night, Duke returned to his room and continued to sleep with his head bored, and more than a week of continuous filming had made his biological clock a little messy.

Fortunately, the filming in the Chicago area did not encounter much trouble, which is also Duke's forte, after twelve days of hard work, all the scenes in the Chicago area are over, Irene? Lauder also contacted her cousin, and Duke led the crew directly to London, filmed a few little location scenes, and returned to Los Angeles.

The only actress Annie with a heavier role? Hathaway also joined the crew. (To be continued......)
