Chapter 174 Aliens?
"Chicago municipality has blocked several blocks, and now there is no traffic entering." Guo Fan and Zhang Haohui reported.

"Very well, let's get the notification down, and start filming when you're ready." Zhang Hao nodded, and got on a police helicopter sponsored by the Chicago Police Department.

He'll be directing the car chase in the air, in a helicopter.

After the shooting scene was almost ready, there were no cars or pedestrians passing by in the bustling streets of Chicago.

Although for the sake of safety, the crew set up road cards at various intersections, but it is inevitable that a few fish that escaped the net slipped in.

As night fell, the formerly bustling Walker Street was deserted today.Adam Jere pushed open the door of the bar, and with a half bottle of wine in his hand, he staggered to Walker Street.

This is the main road in the downtown area of ​​Chicago, and it is easy to get a taxi without having to make a special call, which is very convenient.

But today seems to be a little different, Adam Jayer tore off the yellow tape of the blockade, looked at the empty Walker Street, his brain was a little dull after drinking too much alcohol.

"What's going on? Why isn't there a single car?" Adam Jere, who is rich in associations, flashed countless thoughts in his mind.

Ideas such as Megatron, Loki, alien invasion, or plague, war, zombies, etc. all popped up.

Adam Gere, who had watched too many Hollywood blockbusters, walked to the middle of the road with a bottle of wine, and suddenly saw a man on the opposite side waving at him, telling him to leave quickly.

"Man, get out of there quickly, it's dangerous."

His brain was paralyzed by alcohol, and his reaction was unresponsive. Just as he wanted to ask what happened, he heard the roar of cars approaching in the distance.

When he turned the corner, Adam Jayer saw a scene he would never forget: a strangely shaped, black armored, very technological, beast-like car was being chased by the police.

Compared with that beast-like chariot, the police car is like a sissy, fragile and fragile.

Seeing that the car was about to hit him, Adam Jere was so frightened that he threw away the wine bottle and crawled to the side of the road.

The chasing traffic roared past him and disappeared at the next bend, but the humming sound of the engine could still be heard.

Adam Jayer opened his mouth wide and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long while, his brain that was down was recovered.

"My God, what did I just see?" Adam Jell thought he had seen an alien chariot, and the police were arresting this alien creature.

In Chicago, the capital of crime, car chases by police and bandits are commonplace, and Chicago citizens are used to it, but chasing aliens is still the first time.

Adam Jere realized that he had encountered a big event, and immediately called the "Chicago Times": "Hello, is it the "Chicago Times"? I have big news...

I saw that the Chicago police were chasing aliens, it's true. "

It wasn't until early in the morning that the filming of the car chase scene was declared over, and the cleaning company hired by the crew immediately entered the scene to clean up the garbage produced by filming the car chase scene.

The Chicago city government has given great support to "Batman: Beginning of War". With the help of the Chicago city government, several bustling blocks were blocked to complete the filming of the car chase scene.

The reason is that the advertising effect brought by a movie has made the Chicago city government greedy.

The outflow of Hollywood crews is serious, not only because of the high taxes and high salaries in California, but also because of greater support from other regions.

After the filming ended, Zhang Hao got off the helicopter and was immediately blocked by reporters and media.

Since Zhang Hao directed Batman, he has become the subject of interviews by the North American media. Not only newspapers, but also major news websites and TV media have ridiculed Zhang Hao and Warner Pictures.

Now this kind of cynicism has become ZZ correct in the North American entertainment industry. It is said that when two Hollywood filmmakers met and chatted, they first laughed at Warner Pictures and Zhang Hao before they started chatting.

Until results are made, this trend is expected to continue.

So Zhang Hao is also used to being chased and interviewed by the North American media, and sometimes he even pretends to be stupid, pretending not to understand, and prevaricating sharp questions.

However, when he heard that someone called the "Chicago Times" and said that he had encountered an alien, Zhang Hao was stunned for a while.

"This shows that the Batmobile is indeed unique and can attract attention." Zhang Hao replied.

The car chases in the Chicago area were all shot at night, and even with the help of the Chicago city government, these scenes could not be filmed during the busy day.

A shot of just a few seconds often takes hours to arrange, so there is no room for a slight mistake.

Zhang Hao must do everything personally, and he will intervene in all preparations like an old farmer, and will not miss any mistakes in details.

The days of filming passed day by day like this, and far away in China, the film "Butterfly Effect" was announced to be discontinued as soon as the National Day file ended in October.

The box office of the film is fixed at 2.62 million, which is already a good result for a film with an investment of 8500 million.

In fact, this box office is only a small profit for "Butterfly Effect", which is not outstanding compared with Zhang Hao's previous films with small investment and big returns.

So much so that a voice began to spread in the circle, thinking that Zhang Haozhanglang had run out of money, and would enter a period of bottleneck in the future, and would never return to his former glory.

This is not the idea of ​​one or two people, many people think so.

"The box office of "The Butterfly Effect" is only 2.62 million, which is not good. This proves that the Zhang Hao effect has dissipated in the market." Cong Shao, the new president of Wanda Films, who has begun to take over the company's business, said to his assistant.

"But there are few onions..."

"Call me President..."

"It's the president. After all, the movie "Butterfly Effect" has made money, and there are still copyrights that have not been sold. Through these, it can also achieve profits." The assistant said.

"The box office is not high, how much can the copyright be sold for?" Cong Shao stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, and played with the pen in his hand: "Many colleagues told me that Zhang Hao's magic will gradually decline in the next period of time. "

"So what do you mean, President, we don't plan to continue working with Zhang Hao?" The assistant hesitated a bit: "But Director Wang said, the more it is at this time, the more we need to show support for Zhang Hao."

"Now I am in charge of the company, and I have the right to decide who to cooperate with," Cong Shao accurately threw the pen in his hand on his desk, and ordered: "Notify, call a meeting of executives, we cannot hanging from a tree."

Not only Wanda Pictures, Huayi Pictures is also considering withdrawing.

"Brother, don't hesitate anymore. Zhang Hao can see that he will be in Hollywood for a while in the future, which is obviously inflated." Mr. Wang tried his best to persuade Mr. Wang.

The king is always hesitating, mumbling to himself as if convincing himself: "We have too many big projects in Huayi, and we are no longer able to carry out multiple projects."

"That's right, it won't be too late for us to get involved when Huayi has sufficient funds, or Zhang Daofan repents." Mr. Wang urged Mr. Wang

"This is your decision?"

"It's my decision."

"Alright then, Huayi will withdraw from the project directed by Zhang Hao." Mr. Wang closed his eyes and stopped talking.

At the same time, both Huayi and Wanda withdrew from Zhang Hao's projects, although Zhang Hao didn't start any projects, and went to make movies for Warner Pictures.

But this is still a big blow to the newly established Tianmi Film and Television Production Company.

For a while, the several partners of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, except for Bona Film Industry, did not express their views, and the other companies all ran away depending on the situation.

In the entertainment industry, it is a trend that ebbs and flows.Now Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, in the eyes of insiders, is in a state of ebb and flow.

That's right, Zhang Hao has been doing well for several years, it's time for him to suffer a little bit, and let him understand that the entertainment industry is not so easy to mess with.

The reason why Bona Films didn't make a statement is also very simple. Who doesn't know the personal relationship between Yu Dong and Zhang Hao. From the perspective of outsiders, Yu Dong will continue to support Zhang Hao.

In fact, it was true. After the other companies withdrew, Yu Dong, who had been in the entertainment circle, immediately held a celebration banquet, and at the celebration banquet and the company's senior management said clearly: "Everyone, those short-sighted people will eventually regret it one day.

But Bona Films will not, we will firmly support Director Zhang. "

"cheers……"

Since the cooperation with Bona Films in the first film, Zhang Hao has brought too much profit to Bona Films, and those new partners can't understand clearly.

According to news from Bona Pictures, it will continue to cooperate with Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, and it will remain firm.

This has poured a basin of cold water on the exciting entertainment industry and made everyone calm down.

That's right, although Zhang Hao's film does not have the rate of return of the previous films, it still makes money, and there are copyright fees to sell, so it is a lot of money.

Although the box office of 2.62 million does not seem very high, but Chen Gezi's "Search" is only 1.64 million, Zhang Hao still crushed the director of the pigeon.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wanda Pictures and Huayi Pictures released news again that they did not cooperate with Tianmi Film and Television Company because of the company's strategic needs, and at the same time secretly pointed out the personal relationship between Zhang Hao and Yu Dong.

No matter what, anyway, Wanda Films and Huayi have already withdrawn from the ranks of partners of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company.

However, other established film and television production companies are hesitating whether to contact Tianmi Film and Television Production Company. After all, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is now in crisis, and this can be regarded as timely help.

But I also think of the recent rumors that Zhang Hao has begun to expand and will continue to expand in the future.

Zhang Hao is the core figure of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company. If he is no longer the same as before, what is the point of cooperating with Tianmi Film and Television Production Company?
This is also a point of hesitation for everyone. They live too peacefully and lack the spirit of adventure.

At a time when Tianmi Film and Television Production Company was in trouble at home and abroad, and the boss was still filming abroad and couldn't make it back, Internet giant Penguin made a high-profile announcement to enter the film and television production market.
