Chapter 527 Alien Spaceship

The night was getting darker, and Chicago seemed to be a little quiet tonight. Beckman pushed the door and walked out of the bar, burped hard, shook his head that was a little confused after drinking too much, and walked forward staggeringly, walking out of nowhere. How far is it to Wacker Street, which is the main road in the Chicago area. There are always cars and cars, and it is easy to stop a taxi without having to make a special phone call.

It's just something special today. He dazedly tore off the two blockades and stood on the side of Wacker Street. He looked at the left side and then the right side in a strange way. Not only did he not see any moving vehicles, but the entire street Except for a few cars parked on the side of the road, it was extremely empty.

what happened?

Beckman couldn't help scratching his head, his brain paralyzed by alcohol was a little sluggish, why can't even people see this bustling block?

plague? war? Zombie siege? Or an alien invasion?

He is a science fiction fan, and with the effect of alcohol, many inexplicable ideas popped out of his mind at this moment.

Suddenly, Beckman saw a person. Across the wide street, a person was waving at him and shouting, as if to tell him to quickly avoid this place, as if there was danger here.

Did something really happen?

Although Beckman was drunk and dizzy, he took a few steps back cautiously. At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the intersection hundreds of feet away on the left. The sound was so loud, Even from such a long distance, there is a deafening feeling.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light fell from the sky and shone there, and the sound of the helicopter's propeller came over.

The siren, the sound of the car motor, all of a sudden sounded.

Are the police chasing the suspect?

As Chicago has a long history of gangsters. This situation is not too rare.

Just when Beckmann thought so, a bright light suddenly lit up from the intersection, and then turned around. The light was so bright that it almost illuminated half of Wacker Street.

Uh……

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

It was a thing 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 vehicle or a tank or a car in the world?

Beckman immediately shook his head, that is, at this moment, the monster was traveling at a speed of about one hundred miles per hour. He rushed over from the road in front of him, the tremor of the ground being crushed and the gust of wind that brought him almost overturned him to the ground, and then a dozen police cars followed, in front of the monster. It's just a bitch in a car.

Are the police chasing that monster?

Seeing this, Beckman understood, but he couldn't figure out what the monster was. So many police officers were dispatched, and even the entire Wacker Street was evacuated...

Suddenly. He thought of a possibility, and his whole body trembled with excitement. He quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed the number of Chicago TV Station.

Hello. Is it a TV station?

After receiving a confirmed reply, Berkman said in a drunken voice, I saw aliens! This is not a joke, I saw an alien spaceship on Wacker Street, and the police are hunting it...

The helicopter was still circling in the air, Duke was sitting on it, watching the footage that was constantly being transmitted to the monitor, and occasionally looking through the window to see the street chasing cars frantically below, commanding the overall situation from a commanding height.

In order to shoot this car chase scene, the crew made a lot of preparations. After he visited Chicago with Hannah Serena and John Schwartzman, 18 stunt drivers came to nearby Chicago. Training driving skills and familiarity with road conditions have been preparing for this for several months.

Duke's fame also played an important role. The Chicago city government not only fully cooperated with the crew, but also gave unprecedented support. In order to film the crazy car chase scene, several blocks of the city were temporarily closed, and vehicles were not allowed to enter.

This situation has become more and more frequent in recent years. Governments across the United States have provided various conveniences and tax incentives in order to win large Hollywood production crews.

A successful film has a huge impact on a city.

Even those staunch anti-Dukes have to admit that he used the Lord of the Rings trilogy to turn New Zealand into the world's tourist destination.

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

Helicopters chase the Batmobile forward, and the Batmobile rockets down the road like a rocket along a carefully designed route, stopping from time to time to make appropriate adjustments to overturn the chasing police cars. , the power of this super monster, even in shooting, is still unmatched.

In the city, facing ordinary criminals and lightly armed cops, Batman is just as good as a tiger.

Filming continued until the early hours of the morning, when Duke announced the end of work. The cleaning company hired by the crew then drove into these blocks and began to clean up all kinds of garbage left 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 directions had surrounded the neighborhood and even blocked the way to leave. If he didn't say anything, he wouldn't let him go. means to leave.

Duke could only be interviewed, but he talked about some coping cliches, but when the reporter mentioned that someone called the TV station at night and said that the Batmobile he saw was an alien spaceship, he was slightly surprised.

It just goes to show that the crew's Batmobile is truly different and spectacular.

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

The shooting in the Chicago area was all done at night. Even with the support of the city government, due to the busy traffic conditions in Chicago during the day, it could not be filmed normally. It is more tedious and time-consuming to shoot.

These collision scenes are Duke's forte. In fact, the actual shooting time is not long, and most of the time is spent on preparations. A crash scene of a few seconds often takes hours to arrange. .

It is undeniable that there are many tricks in the shooting, but the preparations for the on-site shooting cannot be tricky, otherwise it is very likely that the actors will be injured and other troubles.

Duke never fights unprepared wars, and every shooting is carefully pre-prepared.

Only this time, he encountered a little trouble, and so far he has not settled the location of Wayne Manor. Unlike modern villas all over the United States, the Wayne family is a typical family with a long history and tradition. The manor needs a quaint style. A sense of heaviness, otherwise he could easily borrow or rent a manor house from Malibu.

Originally, the crew settled on an old-fashioned manor in the suburbs of Paris. 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 the liquidated damages than let the crew use their own property. , In the face of this situation, Duke is also quite helpless.

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

Duke could only choose to give up, and just sent the crew's lawyers to Paris to discuss saving and receiving liquidated damages.

If it is replaced by a grumpy director, this time will definitely be in full swing. Fortunately, Duke has always been calm and knows that he is not the center of the world. While changing the shooting plan, he told Charles Rowan to find a suitable one as soon as possible. Place.

Your dark circles are all out.

In the Italian restaurant of the hotel, Erin Lauder, who came to visit the class, looked at Duke, who had been working at night lately, and said, Isn't he worried about this?

Is it obvious?

Duke couldn't help rubbing his eyes, the life in black and white was not pleasant, It will be fine in a while, the Chicago drama is about to end.

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

Then I won't say thank you.

It can be seen that Erin Lauder is not joking, and Duke is not polite to her, Honey, it's better to be faster.

In fact, he does not need to shoot inside the villa, the interior can be set up in the studio, and the most needed is undoubtedly the external panoramic lens.

My cousin has a manor in the northern suburbs of London, Erin Lauder took out a pen, wrote an address on a napkin, and pushed it here. The manor was built by the Rothschild family in the 1850s. , it's only an hour and a half drive from London.

Duke picked up the napkin and glanced, and then heard Erin say, I'll go back and say hello to my cousin, there should be no problem.

I'm just shooting some exterior scenes. Duke didn't reject the offer, I won't go inside the villa to shoot.

This meal only took more than half an hour. Erin Lauder came to Chicago to have a job, and soon left, and just made an appointment with Duke to watch the filming of the crew at night. Duke returned to his room, Continuing to sleep with his head down and filming for more than a week has made his biological clock a little messed up.

Fortunately, the shooting in the Chicago area did not encounter too much trouble, which is also Duke's forte. After 12 days of hard work, all the scenes in the Chicago area were over, and Irene Lauder also contacted her cousin. Duke led the crew straight to London, shot a few outside scenes, and returned to Los Angeles.

The only actress with a heavier role, Anne Hathaway, also joined the crew. (To be continued ~^~)
