After putting down the phone, Owen Turner's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white.
"confirmed?"
Tracy looked at Turner hesitantly, her expression full of disbelief.
"I think we're in trouble this time, big trouble."
Turner smiled sadly.
"The evidence is in the hands of the police?"
Turner nodded: "The police obtained the surveillance video of the parking lot."
Damn it.
Tracy cursed secretly.
"What's the police's attitude?"
"What else? It's just asking for money, and they will help with the cooking."
As long as the money is in place, no one will know that Zhang Chu was involved in yesterday's shooting in Los Angeles.
This matter will eventually be characterized as a black-blooded vendetta.
No one cares about this kind of thing anyway, some social scum, who cares about their life and death.
"Do you want Zhang Chu to know?"
The money to bribe the police will definitely come from Warner Bros.
After the favor has been done, Zhang Chu should know what to do.
"No, that's the end of the matter."
Tracy was not surprised when she heard this. After all, it was best not to mention this matter again.
"Then what shall we do to Zhang Chu in the future?"
With such a strong ability to cause trouble, Tracy was a little scared.
That guy seemed a little arrogant when he looked at humans and animals as harmless, but when it came to killing people, he was really not merciless at all.
Before, she had only heard that Zhang Chu had killed someone in that plane hijacking incident.
The last bar shooting was 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 made Tracy shudder.
"Everything has to wait until this movie is released before we can make plans for the next one."
Turner already knew the whole story yesterday, and he was just negotiating conditions just now.
After thinking about it all night, Turner was still reluctant to give up on Zhang Chu.
A kung fu star as capable as Zhang Chu, and he is still so young, it is difficult to meet the next one.
In the final analysis, it is still because of interests.
As long as Zhang Chu can bring enough benefits to Warner Bros., it doesn't matter even 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 just the method... it's too violent.
Turner didn't see the scene, but hearing the description from the police made him feel sick to his stomach.
"Tracy, please inform James Van that the shooting speed will be accelerated. I don't care what method he uses, this movie must be completed within a month."
Hearing this, Tracy also understood what Turner meant.
Zhang Chu is such a troublemaker, so he should finish filming and get out!
The sooner the better.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
"What?"
On the set of "Night Walker", a wonderful fight scene had just been completed, and Wen Ziren was extremely excited.
An actor like Zhang Chu is definitely something that all directors can meet but cannot ask for. No matter what kind of request he puts forward, Zhang Chu can do it, execute it perfectly and complete it.
But as soon as the phone call came, Wen Ziren's mood immediately changed.
Now even one-tenth of the film has not been completed, and the investors actually asked him to complete it within a month.
Isn't this a joke?
"Miss Clark, this is not..."
"James, I don't want to hear your complaints. What you have to do is to execute, understand? This is what Mr. Turner means."
Wen Ziren was filled with complaints and was blocked back, grabbing his hair feebly.
"Can I know the reason?"
"No, James, this is not an issue you need to consider, and I am not discussing it with you, but...an order. You may be unhappy when I say this, but do it as I say."
"All right!"
Feeling the harshness in Tracy's tone, Wen Ziren also understood that he, a new director, was not qualified to have a fair dialogue with Warner Bros.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ziren looked at Zhang Chu who was not far away.
Although there is no evidence, he feels that the investor's sudden decision to speed up the filming plan must have something to do with Zhang Chu.
Is this guy causing trouble again?
Zhang Chu was on the phone with Tang Wei at the moment and didn't notice Wen Ziren's gaze at all.
"It may take another two months, by which time you will start school."
We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, and Zhang Chu is also panicking.
Even though there were a lot of women, Zhang Chu couldn't get rid of his promiscuous habits, but he still cared about Tang Wei very much.
besides……
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! Don't you... go directly to Xiangjiang? The movie you filmed before should be released soon!"
Snapped!
Zhang Chu lit a cigarette.
"Before I go, I have to go back to the capital. There are people I care about there."
The sudden earthy words of love made Tang Wei's heart skip a beat.
It would be nice if Zhang Chu only cared about her.
"I'm waiting for you."
Seeing Zhang Jingchu approaching, Tang Wei quickly put away his cell phone.
On the set of "Nightcrawler".
Wen Ziren found Zhang Chu. Now he has to adjust the shooting plan and must coordinate with the leading actor Zhang Chu.
"I'm OK."
The shooting plan was readjusted and completed within a month, which Zhang Chu couldn't get.
Although he has not been in the United States for a long time, Zhang Chu doesn't like this shabby place at all.
Except Christina.
"But if it is completed within a month, can your body be able to bear it?"
Who are you looking down on?
"I said, no problem."
After hearing what Zhang Chu said, Wen Ziren was very upset.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, I summoned several assistant directors to discuss adjusting the shooting plan.
When I first heard Wen Ziren say that filming would be completed within a month, everyone loudly said it was impossible.
But then Wen Ziren moved out Owen Turner, and the opposition was immediately suppressed.
To put it bluntly, they are all part-time workers.
As the investors of the main family, they will do whatever they are told to do.
The most important thing in Hollywood is people waiting for opportunities.
If they don't do it, there are many people who are willing to do it.
"Still have any questions?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wen Ziren nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately the assignment of tasks began.
When filming resumed in the afternoon, someone soon felt something was wrong.
The crew's work intensity is obviously much greater than before.
The most important thing is, it's almost dark, why don't we call it a day?
"The crew will pay due remuneration according to the highest standards. Now, does anyone still have any objections?"
After saying this, Wen Ziren felt that he was so handsome.
It's a pity that the effect is not good. Some people choose to stay for the money, while others are unwilling to bend their waists for five buckets of rice and turn around and leave.
Wen Ziren seemed to have expected it: "Very good. Those who left, remember their names. From tomorrow on, you don't have to come to work."
When he said this, Wen Ziren really looked like a domineering president.
Zhang Chu originally thought that after readjusting the shooting plan, the crew would become confused for a period of time.
But in fact, after a new batch of staff were replaced and filled in various positions, everything was proceeding step by step.
The original shooting cycle was two and a half months, which was already very rushed. Now that it has been readjusted and the production cycle has been compressed, it seems that there has not been much change.
"That's Hollywood efficiency."
Gu Xuanzhao gave Zhang Chu the answer. He had worked with Hollywood crews before.
"This place is different from the mainland, Xiangjiang, and Treasure Island. After a hundred years of development, a unique pattern has long been formed. As long as it is within the framework of rules, everyone only needs to do their own thing."
What's the meaning?
"Industrialization can probably only be explained this way. I know that many directors in China like to pay attention to art when making films, but it is different here. Hollywood only produces commodities. Movies like "Night Walker" that do not use brains, if there are enough manpower, , they can shoot it in a week.”
is that so?
Zhang Chu looked at the hurried staff and suddenly felt that what Gu Xuanzhao said was not unreasonable.
The people here feel like workers on an assembly line. They don't have much creative passion, and some just work numbly.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong. You are doing the same thing over and over again every day. If you can still maintain full enthusiasm for this job for decades, it can only be true love.
The crew's work pace became faster and faster. They chose to work in the studio for a month and completed it in another week. Then the crew moved to Arizona and then to Texas.
So busy that I didn’t even have time to stop and take a breath.
Fortunately, the crew's shooting progress bar was constantly refreshing, and it looked like it would be completed within the time required by Owen Turner.
Everyone is tired, but the company provides a lot, and everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering in order to make money.
However, Warner Bros., as an investor, did not increase its investment. Instead, it saved a lot of money by shortening the shooting cycle.
The one who is tired is Zhang Chu. As the leading actor, he has to appear in almost every scene.
Moreover, most of the scenes are either fighting or racing, either fierce gun battles or extremely dangerous challenges.
Zhang Chu would often leave himself with scars from tossing. During this period, he was hospitalized due to an accident in which his left index and middle fingers were broken.
But after just one day's rest, Zhang Chu returned to the crew.
What happened in the ghettos of Los Angeles is no longer mentioned by anyone.
A dozen lives seemed really insignificant.
Bang!
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, we will shoot a scene of Zhang Chu falling on the awning on the first floor, and the film will be officially finished.
call……
Zhang Chu let out a sigh of relief, refused the help of his colleagues on the crew, stood up slowly, and his whole back was numb.
Just as he was about to find a place to rest for a while, he happened to meet Christina's eyes.
After rescuing her that day, Christina's attitude towards him changed. This month, there was no chance to revisit the old dream.
Perhaps Christina also guessed that the reason why she was kidnapped was all because of Zhang Chu.
so……
That’s fine!
But some things always have a huge reversal near the end.
