Chapter 203 School Speech
The filming officially began when we arrived in Chicago.

The crew built a huge studio and set up the venue.

All the actors also gathered together.

The heroine also appeared, and Chen An still chose the original actress Katie Holmes to play the role.

Later, she married Tom Cruise in 06 and temporarily retired from the film industry, but Chen An should have finished filming the second film this time.

It doesn't matter whether you stop or not.

Now it’s time to shoot the literary scenes, which is Bale’s strong point, and the shooting is going very smoothly.

Several of the actors are also very useful. Both Morgan and Michael are veteran actors who have been in the industry for decades.

The shoot went smoothly.

Shoot these clips first, and then focus on the action and car battle scenes at the end.

"Chen, this is our second cooperation. Can you give me a bat dart so I can give it to the kids?" Morgan, wearing a theatrical suit, walked up to Chen An and whispered.

Chen An turned his head and looked at the elderly man Morgan, "Morgan, I'm just a director. You should find Jerry, he is the producer." But he was thinking in his heart, little kid, you want it yourself.

It's really unbearable to see him liking this kind of thing at his age. I put the bat dart in my pocket a little bit further to avoid being seen.

"If you could give me the dart in your pocket, I wouldn't have to look for Mr. Jerry." Morgan had a smile on his kind face.

But in Chen An's opinion, it was full of sin, so he had no choice but to secretly put the dart into his pocket, "How did you find out?"

"Your darts just leaked out, and you can see it on your pants at a glance. The logo is reflected on it."

Hearing this, Chen An looked down at his trousers. The fabric on the pocket was relatively thin, and it became tense when he bent his legs and sat down, easily leaving marks.

It seems I need to change a pair of pants. It’s hard to achieve anything in these pants.

Morgan quietly put the dart into the inner pocket of his suit and said with a smile, "Chen, you are still young and have been in Hollywood for too short a time. You are not very familiar with it yet. I don't want props from other crews, except Warner's props. The harder it is for them to take them away, the more I want them."

Then he patted his clothes and sat on the chair next to him. "So you have to be prepared." He looked experienced.

Chen An showed an awkward smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, I will let you know the difference between you and me.

What do you mean by having someone to help you get things done? A bat dart is nothing. I’ll let you know my strength when the time comes!
Chicago is the real-life Gotham, if nothing else.

Gunshots can be heard during the day, so it's normal for such a small incident to happen in a place like this.

Chen An basically ran between the hotel and the crew and didn't dare to go out for a stroll. Some employees who went abroad for the first time also felt for the first time what freedom was.

They all stayed in the crew and didn't run around. When they were filming in Europe before, they liked to go out in groups.

Now I have calmed down.

Do you like this breath of freedom?
Anyway, when I first arrived in Hollywood, I didn’t dare go out at night.

The ordinary shooting scenes in the studio have been set up and normal shooting can be carried out.

But the construction of the bat cave has not been completed. There are others but Chen An chose to build a new one.

Although others don't care, Chen An still wants to shoot two sequels.

The supercar used for filming was not purchased but rented for free by a supercar company.

Considering that this is the first film, Chen An would have to charge them advertising fees otherwise.

In the next movie, I will definitely give them a good beating!
"Chen, do you really need to be gone for three days? The filming here cannot do without you." Jerry said helplessly.

Jerry really didn't want to agree to Chen An's request, but he couldn't refuse.

Chen An nodded. "I have no choice. Because the filming of Batman Begins has delayed my graduation project, I must agree to the school's request and go there."

"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were still in school. After all, you are now an internationally renowned director." Jerry also sighed. After all, he is also a producer. The crew's daily expenses are huge. If it is spent on filming, it doesn't matter.

However, it is naturally difficult to explain the expenses caused by Chen An’s sudden departure from the group.

"It doesn't matter, Jerry. I've always been thinking about how to spend all the production funds. Warner won't say anything when the time comes. It won't have any impact at all." Chen An patted Jerry on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

Jerry was speechless for a moment. How could you say such cold words? After all, I am also an employee of Warner.

He is also the brother-in-law of the vice president.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll also arrange the shooting preparations and some filming. Don't be late when you come back." Jerry finally let Chen An go.

Although there was a general plan for the shooting, he still thought it would be better to let Chen An himself host it.

It's simply a disgrace among Hollywood producers.

Chen An nodded to indicate that he would not be late.

Time was running out, so Chen An called Zhao Xiong and left. As for Chen Wei and the others, it would be better for them to stay here and learn from this group of Hollywood staff.

"Remember to bring some food from China. I'm really fed up with the fast food in the United States!" Before leaving, Chen Wei came over and said seriously.

During the time I was abroad with Chen An, it was fine at first, but later I couldn't stand the food at all.

The meals ordered by the crew are either fast food like pizza or hamburgers.

Chen An patted the other person's shoulder and said, "No, you have to get used to it. This is how I got here. While I'm away, you can ask Jerry to take you guys out to eat. It's a bit messy here, but you won't run into any gunfire."

After saying that, he made a gun-shooting gesture.

If you want to eat delicious food, forget it. This is how I got here, brother. I’m kind enough that I haven’t taken you to eat sand in the desert.

Don't think too much when you are asked to come here to learn technology. You will also have to experience the hardships that your brothers have suffered.

Then he ignored the other person's murderous look and ran away.

That's called a fast!

The filming of the movie was a process of building and shooting at the same time.

This is also the reason why even a quick-shooter director like Chen An has such a slow shooting progress.

On the one hand, we have so much money that we want to make and shoot as much as possible.

On the one hand, the effect of actual shooting is indeed good, and the scene construction and prop production can allow the group of people I brought from China to participate and learn a few tricks.

The progress of time was naturally prolonged, but compared to the nine months of filming in his previous life, Chen An's side was still a lot faster.

It is expected that filming will be completed by November at the latest.

It's much faster than Nolan's shooting speed from March to December.

With the venue built and the models made this time, it will be much faster to shoot the second part.

Of course, the premise is that Warner brainlessly destroyed the venue and then put all the props up for auction online.

It's hard to say.

So Chen An planned to keep the bat suit and get a set of accessories to match it before Warner did something stupid.

If it wasn't still early, Chen An would have planned to take one set away directly, but considering that the filming was still in progress, it would not be convenient, otherwise the box would have been full when it landed in Beijing.

I can just go home and assemble everything first.
