Chapter 314: Hollywood Efficiency

Put down the phone, Owen. Turner's expression was cloudy, and the joints of his clenched fists turned white.

"Sure?"

Tracy looked at Turner with a hesitant expression, her expression full of incredulity.

"I think we're in trouble this time, big trouble."

Turner smiled wryly.

"The evidence is in the hands of the police?"

Turner nodded: "The police got the surveillance footage of the parking lot. ”

Damn it.

Tracey cursed secretly.

"What about the attitude of the police?"

"What else could there be? It's nothing more than asking for money, and they'll help with the cooking. ”

As long as the money is in place, no one will know that the shooting that happened in Los Angeles yesterday will be implicated in Zhang Chu.

This incident will eventually be characterized as a vendetta of the Black Society.

Anyway, no one will care about this kind of thing, some social dregs, who cares whether they live or die.

"Do you want Zhang Chu to know?"

In the end, the money to buy off the police must only come from Warner Bros.

The favor is done, and Zhang Chu should know what's the matter.

"No, that's the end of it."

Tracey wasn't surprised to hear this, after all, it was best to never bring it up again.

"Then what are you going to do to Zhang Chu in the future?"

With such a strong ability to cause trouble, Tracey is a little scared.

That guy looks harmless to humans and animals, at most he is a little arrogant, but when he kills people, he is really not soft at all.

Before, she had only heard of Zhang Chu's robbery. He has killed people in the incident.

The last bar shooting was nothing more than an accident.

But this time......

Zhang Chu actually went to the door alone and wiped out a notorious local gang in Los Angeles.

Just thinking about it, Tracey shuddered.

"Everything has to wait until the film is released before we can make the next plan."

Turner already knew what was going on yesterday, and he was just talking about the conditions.

After thinking about it all night, Turner was still reluctant to give up on Zhang Chu.

A kung fu star like Zhang Chu who can fight, and he is still so young, it is difficult to meet the next one.

In the end, it's because of profit.

As long as Zhang Chu can bring enough benefits to Warner Bros., it doesn't matter if he is really a perverted murderer.

Not to mention Zhang Chu's behavior this time......

No matter what, it should be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.

It's the means...... It's too violent.

Turner didn't see the scene, but he felt sick to his stomach when he heard the description from the police.

"Tracy, inform James. Wen, the filming speed is speeding up, I don't care what method he uses, within a month, the film must be completed. ”

Tracey understood what Turner meant.

Zhang Chu is such a troublemaker, let's hurry up and get out of the film!

The sooner the better.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"What?"

On the set of "Night Walker", a wonderful fight scene has just been completed, and Wen Ziren is very excited.

Zhang Chu is an actor who is absolutely unavoidable for all directors, no matter what kind of requirements he makes, Zhang Chu can do it, execute and complete it perfectly.

But with a phone call, Wen Ziren's mood immediately became less beautiful.

Now that even a tenth of the whole film has not been completed, and the investor actually asked him to finish it within a month.

Isn't this a joke?

"Miss Clark, it's not ......"

"James, I don't want to hear you complain, what you're going to do is execute, understand? That's what Mr. Turner meant. ”

Wen Ziren was grumbling and was blocked, grabbing his hair weakly.

"Can I find out why?"

"No, James, it's not something you need to think about, and besides, I'm not talking to you, but ...... Order, you may be upset when I say this, but, do as I say. ”

"Okay!"

Feeling the sternness in Tracy's tone, Wen Ziren also understood that he was not qualified to have a fair dialogue with Warner Bros. as a rookie director.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ziren looked at Zhang Chu not far away.

Although there is no evidence, he feels that the investor suddenly wants to speed up the shooting plan, which must have something to do with Zhang Chu.

This guy can't be causing trouble again, right?

Zhang Chu was talking to Tang Wei on the phone at this time, and he didn't notice Wen Ziren's gaze at all.

"It could be another two months, and then you'll be back to school."

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Zhang Chu is also panicking.

Although there are more women, Zhang Chu's abusive love can't be stopped, but he still cares about Tang Wei very much.

And also......

Zhang Jingchu.

What Zhang Chu didn't know was that Tang Wei was in Hengdian at the moment, and Zhang Jingchu was not far away.

"That's right! You...... Why don't you go directly to Xiangjiang? The drama filmed before should be released! ”

Syllable!

Zhang Chu lit a cigarette.

"Why do you have to go back to the capital before you go, there are people I care about over there."

The sudden earthy love words made Tang Wei's heart crisp.

If only Zhang Chu cared about her alone.

"I'll wait for you."

Seeing Zhang Jingchu coming over, Tang Wei quickly put away his mobile phone.

The set of "Nightcrawler".

Wen Ziren found Zhang Chu, and now to adjust the shooting plan, he must coordinate with Zhang Chu, the male protagonist.

"I'm fine."

readjusted the shooting plan and finished it in a month, Zhang Chu couldn't ask for it.

Although he has not been in the United States for a long time, Zhang Chu does not like this place at all.

Except for Christina.

"But if it is done in a month, will your body be able to handle it?"

Who is this looking down on?

"I said, no problem."

Hearing Zhang Chudu say this, Wen Ziren was not grinding for the six.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, I gathered several assistant directors to discuss the adjustment of the shooting plan.

At the beginning, I heard Wen Ziren say that it would be completed within a month, and everyone was shouting that it was impossible.

But then Wen Ziren moved out of Owen. Turner, the opposition was immediately silenced.

To put it bluntly, they are all part-time workers.

As the investor of the main family, they will do what they are asked to do.

The last thing Hollywood lacks is people who are waiting for their chances.

They don't do it, but some people are willing to do it.

"Still have questions?"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wen Ziren nodded with satisfaction.

Tasks are then assigned.

When filming resumes in the afternoon, it doesn't take long for someone to sense that something is wrong.

The work intensity of the crew is obviously much greater than before.

The most important thing is that it's almost dark, why don't you call it a day.

"The crew will pay the due remuneration according to the highest standards, and now, is there any objection?"

When he said this, Wen Ziren felt that he was handsome.

It's a pity that the effect is not good, some people choose to stay for money, and some people are unwilling to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, turn their heads and leave.

Wen Ziren seemed to have expected it: "Very good, those who left, remember their names, from tomorrow, they will not have to go to work." ”

When he said this, Wen Ziren was really a bit of a domineering president.

Zhang Chu thought that after readjusting the shooting plan, the crew would become chaotic for a period of time.

But in fact, after a new batch of staff was replaced and filled in various positions, everything was going according to plan.

The original shooting cycle was two and a half months, which was already very rushed, but now that it has been readjusted and the production cycle is compressed, it seems that there is not much change.

"That's Hollywood efficiency."

Gu Xuanzhao gave Zhang Chu the answer, he had worked with Hollywood crews before.

"This is different from the mainland, Xiangjiang and Baodao, a hundred years of development, a set of unique models have long been formed, as long as it is within the framework of rules, everyone just needs to do their own thing."

What do you mean?

"Industrialization, probably can only be explained in this way, I know that many directors in China like to pay attention to art, but here is different, Hollywood only produces goods, like "Night Walker" This kind of no-brainer movie, if there are enough people, they can shoot it in a week."

Is that so?

Zhang Chu looked at the staff who were in a hurry, and suddenly felt that what Gu Xuanzhao said was not unreasonable.

The people here feel like workers on an assembly line, with little creative passion, and some are just numb to work.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be wrong, doing the same thing over and over again every day, if you can maintain your passion for this job for decades, it can only be true love.

The pace of work of the crew became faster and faster, and it took another week to complete the one-month work in the studio, followed by the crew to Arizona and then to Texas.

So busy that I didn't even have time to stop and catch my breath.

Fortunately, the crew's shooting progress bar is constantly refreshing, and it is really going to be in Owen. Turner asked for time to complete.

Everyone is tired, but the company gives a lot, and in order to make money, everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.

However, Warner Bros., as an investor, did not increase its investment because of this, but saved a lot of expenses because of the shortening of the shooting cycle.

If you want to say that you are tired, that is, Zhang Chu, as the leading actor, he has to appear on the stage in almost every scene.

Moreover, most of the scenes are either fighting or drag racing, either fierce gunfights or extremely dangerous challenges.

Often, Zhang Chu would scar himself from tossing, and during this period, he was hospitalized because of an accident when his left index finger and middle finger were broken.

But after only a day's rest, Zhang Chu returned to the crew.

What happened in the slums of Los Angeles is no longer talked about.

More than a dozen lives seem to be really insignificant.

Boom!

Zhang Chu fell heavily on the sponge mat and fell from a height of more than 20 meters, even Zhang Chu did not dare to challenge rashly.

Later, I will shoot a shot of Zhang Chu falling on the canopy on the first floor, and this drama will be officially completed.

Call......

Zhang Chu let out a sigh of relief, refused the help of his colleagues in the crew, and stood up slowly, his entire back was numb.

Just as he was about to find a place to rest, he happened to meet Christina's eyes.

After rescuing her that day, Christina's attitude towards him changed, and this month, there was no chance to relive the old dream.

Maybe Christina also guessed that the reason why she was kidnapped was all because of Zhang Chu.

Such......

That's good!

But there are some things that will suddenly take a huge turn towards the end.
