my movie years

Chapter 172 Fear, Anger and Accidents

In the next few days, Christian Bale's performance was very unstable, with ups and downs.

Zhang Hao could see that Christian Bale didn't have enough grasp of the role of Bruce Wayne, didn't analyze the character's psychological state enough, and still regarded the script created by Zhang Hao as a superhero movie like Marvel next door.

This is not to say that Christian Bale is not dedicated enough, on the contrary, he works hard enough, but in the wrong direction.

So Zhang Hao planned to have a good chat with Christian Bale and let him find the feeling of the role of Bruce Wayne.

But unexpectedly, when he got up for a walk one morning, Christian Bale took the initiative to find him and chatted about his thoughts on the script and characters.

"I read the script these days, and I found that the role of Bruce Wayne is more complicated and difficult than I imagined."

Looking at the ice field in the distance, Zhang Hao said to Christian Bale: "Don't think of Bruce Wayne as any other superhero, I endowed him with more vigilante attributes. A gangster movie."

"I found out too..." Christian Bale agrees.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao decided to speak more thoroughly. He asked Christian Bale: "What do you think of the theme of the film?"

Christian Bale thought for a while before answering: "The theme of the film is about fear, anger, determination and strength."

"That's right, because of an accident in his childhood, Bruce Wayne was afraid of bats, and because of this fear, he indirectly killed his parents, so he felt angry."

Zhang Hao and Christian Bale walked towards the restaurant, intending to chat while having breakfast.

Zhang Hao didn't eat much in the morning, and it was difficult for him to adapt to the food here, so he just tasted it, pushed the breakfast away, and continued to analyze it for Christian Bale.

"Fear fuels anger and fuels Bruce Wayne's desire to avenge the murderer of his family, but when the murderer is murdered by the gang, Bruce Wayne loses his chance for revenge.

And fear fuels rage again, and it's not this murderer who killed his parents, but the corrupt city of Gotham, the city his father had dedicated his life to.

So Bruce Wayne declared war on the Gotham gang, and he traveled the world looking for ways to fight crime.

Eventually he came back, he had determination, he brought strength, he became fear itself, he became... Batman. "

After listening to Zhang Hao's analysis, Christian Bale nodded and said, "I think I have found the feeling."

"Very good, Bell. If this movie is successful, the follow-up two parts, I guarantee it will be a milestone in superhero movies." Zhang Hao laughed.

Christian Bale smiled: "I don't have any doubts about the success of the film now, Mr. Director."

After chatting with Zhang Hao, Christian Bale accurately grasped the mentality of the character. After that, his condition got better and better, and the shooting progress suddenly accelerated.

Liam Neeson was surprised by this change and quickly asked Christian Bale what had changed.

Christian Bale replied: "I just exchanged my views on the role with the director. He gave me a lot of guidance and allowed me to better grasp the psychological state of the character."

Liam Neeson was amazed, he was a little impressed by this young Chinese director.

In the trilogy script submitted by Zhang Hao to Warner Pictures, Batman's abilities are greatly weakened, which may cause some Batman fans to dislike it.

But the Batman who stepped down from the altar, compared with other DC superhero movies, he became a flesh and blood person, not a god.

This is very important, because it can make up for the biggest weakness of DC superhero movies: too high.

To use a Chinese saying, it means down-to-earth, no longer superior.

The Marvel Iron Man next door is a good example. Tony Stark is lustful, talkative, and has a cheap feeling.

Apart from his high-tech Mark armor, a superhero with such a personality seems to be our friends, or our own appearance.

This is why superhero movies are so popular, with a sense of substitution.

In essence, a movie is a dream, a dream that satisfies the fantasy of the audience.Everyone hopes that they can punish evil and promote good like Iron Man, and there is no shortage of beautiful women.

It is impossible for Batman to take the route of Iron Man. A Batman who is a fool and a talkative Batman makes people get goosebumps just thinking about it.

So Zhang Hao made it clear at the beginning of the film preparation that this is a police film based on realism.He stripped Bruce Wayne of his superhero attributes as much as possible, giving him the identity and temperament of a vigilante policeman.

Fortunately, this is not difficult. After all, Christopher Nolan has already made a model in his previous life, so Zhang Hao can just copy it.

Compared with other superheroes, Batman is more like an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has learned martial arts and has high technology.

Batman will be injured, his physical strength will decrease, and he will be tired. This seems more realistic and gives people a feeling that the superhero is around.

As for the criminals, the warrior masters rely on martial arts and technology, the scarecrows rely on medicine, the clown and Bane rely on naked threats and force, and it can also make people wonder whether these criminals will appear in my life illusion.

And then there's a sense of whether I can be Batman.

Perhaps for other movies, the sense of substitution does not matter, but for superhero movies, it is very important.

Not only are the characters realistic, but so is the city of Gotham, where darkness, corruption, murder, and crime shroud Gotham.

Such a city is just right for such a superhero, stripping away the crime and showing it naked to the audience, making people feel that this is not science fiction or fantasy, but the reality before us.

Of course, compared to the original version, Zhang Hao stuffed some private goods into the movie. The ninjutsu learned by Bruce Wayne in the original version was directly changed to martial arts here.

Zhang Hao hasn't read Batman comics much, and it doesn't seem to explain the ninjutsu or martial arts used by Batman, which gives Zhang Hao some room for free play.

Moreover, after being promoted by kung fu superstars such as Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, and Li Lian, Chinese martial arts has a certain market in North America, and it is not much weaker than ninjutsu.

As a Chinese director, of course Zhang Hao has to promote his own stuff, instead of promoting their so-called ninjutsu to the little people next door.

When discussing the moves with the action director Qian Jiale, Zhang Hao made a clear request: "I don't want fancy moves, they are too fancy and not practical."

Qian Jiale found two martial artists from the team, Christian Bale's stand-in, and demonstrated it to Zhang Hao.

"Just like this, focus on simple, clear, powerful fighting movements, emphasizing the sense of impact." Qian Jiale explained his movement design and Zhang Hao.

"That's right, that's how it feels. Bruce Wayne is not in practice. He must be fast, accurate and ruthless in fighting criminals." Zhang Hao was very satisfied.

In terms of literature and drama, under the guidance of Zhang Hao, Christian Bale has made great progress.In terms of martial arts, although he doesn't have much experience in action movies, Christian Bale still brought a lot of surprises.

And another actor, Liam Neeson, who often staged various rescues, also approached Zhang Hao several times, and after exchanging ideas with Zhang Hao, he also found an excellent state.

The Henry Ducard character at first resembled Bruce Wayne, and his family was also killed, so he seemed very angry.

His appearance is upright, but his reason has actually been swallowed by the flames of anger and revenge, which is why he and Bruce Wayne have taken completely different paths.

Henry Ducard needs to control his anger and take revenge on those who killed his family, which has also become his principle: for all the evils and evil teams he thinks, all he can do is to eliminate and punish.

Therefore, the Shadow Warrior Alliance headed by him upholds a belief: evil should be eradicated, and then a new order should be established on the ruins.

The exchange of old and new is an eternal theme, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But the problem is that how to define crime is in the hands of the Shadow Warrior Alliance. In other words, if the Shadow Warrior Alliance thinks you are guilty, you are guilty, even if you are really innocent.

The Shadow Warrior Alliance believes that you are not guilty, you are a good person, even if you just killed an innocent person a few days ago.

In this way, the Shadow Warrior Alliance is judge, juror and executioner without any responsibility.Because of this, Bruce Wayne called them executioners and lynchers.

It can be said that the driving force for the Kagemura Alliance to continue is destruction and reconstruction, and the standards are set by the Kagemura Alliance itself.

In some big commercial productions, the performance requirements for actors are indeed not high, but not in "Batman: Beginning of War".

Zhang Hao also understands why Christopher Nolan chose Christian Bale in his previous life. An actor like Bale with relatively good acting skills, strong comprehension ability, and dark side style really fits the style of the film very well.

If it were Ben Affleck, it would be enough to give Zhang Hao a headache just by facing his stiff face and the acting of the domineering president.

Although there is a popular saying in Hollywood: no actor is irreplaceable.

But an actor with a suitable style can indeed save a lot of unnecessary trouble for the movie.

The filming of the literary and drama part ended soon, and it entered the tedious and detailed action scene stage. In this regard, Zhang Hao did not hand it over to his assistant, but directed it himself.

Because "Batman: Beginning of War" is related to whether he can successfully manage the follow-up two parts in the future, and Zhang Hao must fully control it, and no accidents are allowed.

Here I would like to thank Charles Rowan. After recognizing Zhang Hao's ability, Charles Rowan gave Zhang Hao enough respect and delegated power to Zhang Hao to the greatest extent.

Without his support, Zhang Hao would not be able to run the crew smoothly.

You know, if the producer doesn't support the director, it will be difficult for the director to make any progress in the Hollywood crew, unless it is a top director like Spielberg.

But it is a pity that even if Zhang Hao wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it is still a little transparent in Hollywood.

It's not an Oscar for Best Director, nothing to be proud of.

The next trick shot was the scene of Bruce Wayne receiving martial arts training from Henry Ducard. Zhang Hao moved the scene to the ice field to shoot.

Under the guidance of Henry Ducard, Bruce Wayne practiced how to use the night, props and surrounding environment to hide his figure.

Martial arts can be said to be an important skill for Batman to become a dark knight, especially for the real version of Batman.

In this movie, it is impossible for Batman to directly fight against a hundred scenes. Taking advantage of the favorable situation to launch a surprise attack in the dark is undoubtedly an important means for Bruce Wayne to fight crime.

However, the climate in Iceland this year is a bit abnormal. In previous years, when the weather was calm in August and September, there were often snowflakes or strong winds, which brought a lot of trouble to the crew.

In this way, the filming was stop-and-go in the harsh weather, and finally in mid-September, "Batman: Beginning of War" ended its location in Iceland, and Zhang Hao took the crew to North America.

The scenes built on the Vatnajökull were left to the local government.

The local government plans to develop a themed tourist attraction, which will be used to generate income after the movie is released in the future.But this is a matter between the local government and Warner Pictures, and Zhang Hao is only in charge of the production of the film.

After returning to Los Angeles, Zhang Hao gave the crew five days off to let them have a good rest.

After experiencing the terrible weather in Iceland, it is undoubtedly a very exhausting thing for the crew. At this time, it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to enjoy the sunny beach blonde in California.

Zhang Hao also told Guo Fan: "Pay attention to managing our people, try not to attend some gatherings, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Zhang Hao didn't say it clearly, but Guo Fan understood in seconds: "Don't worry, director, we play mahjong every day, and now those Hollywood people are playing mahjong with us."

"That's good. Try not to go out at night. The law and order here is chaotic. There may be uncle Hei popping out in any corner. Even if you travel, try to stay with you. The men must protect the girls in our group.

I also told them to remember the phone number of the consulate and ask the consulate for help. I have already contacted the consulate and they will provide help. "

Safety is Zhang Hao's biggest concern, and he can't be too careful about it.

Guo Fan was obviously also paying attention. After Zhang Hao's instructions, he held a meeting with the team members to convey Zhang Hao's meaning.

But take precautions, unexpectedly something happened. A little girl from the make-up group who came to study with the team went out alone without calling her partner because she wanted to see the night view of Los Angeles.

As a result, in a certain dark path, it was blocked by a few black uncles.

It's fine if you rob money, but this little girl didn't expect that her big shoulders and round waist are definitely not popular in the country, but she somehow hit Uncle Hei's point.

And so... that happened.

When the little girl didn't return overnight, the head of the make-up team who realized what had happened immediately reported it to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao hurriedly contacted the consulate, and with the assistance of the local police, he found the poor girl in a coma bleeding from her lower body in a small alley.

As for the criminal, he had long since fled.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Hao also had no choice but to do nothing, such a no-lead case, there is not even a surveillance camera nearby, how can the murderer be caught?
Although her life was saved, the little girl who woke up in the hospital didn't have the face to stay any longer after something like this happened, and returned home.

Zhang Hao paid a large sum of money to compensate the little girl, but whether this can comfort the little girl's wounded heart is unknown.

At the same time, Zhang Hao summoned the team members and scolded the bosses of each group: "I have warned you a long time ago that the law and order here is not good, and the law and order are not good here, so you just ignored it?
Do you think this is heaven?ah?Do you think this is a fairyland on earth?

There is no such way to seek death. In a foreign country, why don’t you know how to protect yourself? How can I explain to your family when something goes wrong? "

The bosses of each group were silent like cicadas, and were scolded so that they dared not speak.They originally thought that Zhang Hao was making a fuss out of a molehill, and that the lighthouse was a society ruled by law, so how dangerous could it be?
But now that they have experienced this incident, they realize that the law and order situation here is so bad. They believed the nonsense of some domestic media, and really thought that this place was a paradise on earth!
This incident can be regarded as a lesson for everyone in the team, allowing them to clearly understand the dark side of this place.

Zhang Hao sighed, and continued: "From now on, everyone is forbidden to go out, and those who want to go out write a note and report to me.

The production team and the company are not responsible for accidents caused by going out privately, please let us know! "

After all the good words, if you don't listen to thousands of exhortations, then you can only be restrained and locked in a cage.

At the same time, Zhang Hao was also dissatisfied with the poor security situation near the hotel, because there were too many teams coming, so the hotel he chose was cheaper, in order to save money!
But now, safety is obviously more important than saving money. Zhang Hao rubbed his headache and told Tang Qianqian: "You contact Warner Pictures and help us change to a hotel in a wealthy area. It's not safe here."

Tang Qianqian also had lingering fears. She originally wanted to go out for a walk at night, but after this incident, she never dared again.

"Good director, I'll contact you right away..."

No one wants to see such a thing happen. This incident was published by a local media in Los Angeles, which aroused the enthusiasm of North American netizens.

Then, following the wind from the Pacific Ocean, the news of Zhang Hao's crew's accident also spread back to China.

You can't hide it. Instead of letting the media speculate at will and cause more serious consequences, you might as well take the initiative yourself.

The official Weibo of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company told the whole story, and then reminded everyone to pay attention to safety outside.To protect privacy, the girl's name and photo have not been released.

After knowing the whole story, netizens and the media immediately became overwhelmed, and this matter has obviously become a focus of social attention.

In the past, I often heard certain media brag about how good the law and order on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is, what wind can enter and rain can enter, and the commander can't enter, but now it turns out that it is not the same thing at all.

As a result, voices emerged one after another on the Internet, criticizing the security situation on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, people who launder the ground for foreign masters are also indispensable. Some high-spirited people began to write various small essays to whitewash foreign masters.But this time it didn't seem to work. Instead, the Kochis were sprayed bloody by netizens.

Therefore, Kochi and some media began to play dead, and waited for the limelight to pass before continuing to wave the flag for the foreign masters.

In fact, similar things are happening every day in this magical land of North America. If it weren't for Zhang Hao's crew, it would never have caused such a huge disturbance in the domestic Internet and public opinion circles.

Amidst the storm, there were also some dark sunspots and sailors pointing their finger at Zhang Hao.

Why did Zhang Hao go to Hollywood wholeheartedly, something happened now!So don't be ashamed, and get back quickly.

According to Heizi's logic, Zhang Hao's going out is to discredit the country, it is a shame to the people of the country, and he should commit suicide to apologize.

Zhang Hao's fans are naturally not happy. We Zhang Hao have made it clear over and over again to be safe. It's because people don't listen and insist on going out. What's the matter with Zhang Hao.

I don't let you eat shit, but you insist on eating it, and you say shit is delicious, can you blame me?
After all, many people now have beautiful illusions about the other side of the Pacific Ocean, thinking that there is a paradise there.

Now Zhang Hao's crew has this incident, which shattered the dream of heaven, so these people became angry from embarrassment.Wantonly smear Zhang Hao and his team, and began to wash the ground for foreign masters.

This is not the problem of the foreign master, but the problem of Zhang Hao and his team.

Anyway, I can always find some strange angles to wash the land for the foreign masters in exchange for some pitiful Weibo dog food.

The world is going downhill, so there is nothing to do.

After learning about the situation, Da Mi Mi also made a special call to Zhang Hao to care.

"I'm fine, I've changed the hotel now, it's safe." Zhang Hao comforted.

"He said it's okay, now there's a lot of noise on the Internet." Da Mi Mi looked very angry.

Zhang Hao said indifferently: "Just quarrel, I won't lose a hair."

"But the problem is, I'm worried that some people will throw the blame on you, and it's obviously not your fault." This is what Da Mi Mi is worried about.

Zhang Hao didn't shirk it: "I was responsible in the first place. It was because I didn't strictly manage my subordinates that this incident happened. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Hearing that Zhang Hao's tone was the same as usual, and there was no emotional fluctuation because of this incident, Da Mimi was relieved a lot.

"Then, should I explain this to you?" Da Mimi asked.

"Don't, the more you talk, the more people will think that you are covering up and there are inside stories. Anyway, it has been explained on Weibo and the consulate has issued a statement.

They don't believe the official statement, so let them go, we just wait and see. "Zhang Hao said.

"Alright, then you pay attention to safety."

"Okay, okay, I must pay attention to safety, I want to be a great director!" Zhang Hao reassured Da Mimi.

When something happens, it is not a good way to imitate those traffic stars and pretend to be dead without responding, and it is not feasible to imitate some traffic stars and send Lu Shihan.

It is enough to give an explanation and show your attitude, and leave the rest to time!
In the next few days, the matter continued to ferment, and even at the routine press conference above, some reporters mentioned this issue.

The press spokesman above read the consulate's statement in public, which was considered to be the final word on this matter, which made the media and some netizens lose the space to move up and down.

As for those who don't believe the official statement and think there is a conspiracy, they can only say that there is definitely something wrong with their ass.

　I was killed by the harmonious beast, I thought I had mastered the harmonious mechanism, but found that the so-called mechanism was useless at all, it was completely based on my mood...
