Chapter 208: Treasures belong to those who are virtuous!
It took seven months.

The filming is finally finished!

This is the longest film Chen An has ever shot, even though Warner Bros. had prepared for it in advance.

The shooting took Chen An almost half a year from April to November.

Everyone at the wrap-up party was enjoying the joy.

The work that took so long is finally completed.

In addition, Chen An and Jerry also gave a lot of money.

The US$1.4 million production budget is almost spent, with only a few cents left, but Chen An is quite happy about it.

However, there was still one thing that had not been completed, which made Chen An very worried.

"Jerry, are you sure tonight is the chance?" Chen An asked Jerry next to him secretly at the party.

"I swear, Chen, it's more real than this gold watch of mine."

Jerry said with a solemn vow.

Tonight is the best time.

Everyone was fooled and they could get whatever they liked.

Including but not limited to bat suits, bat guns, bat darts and other equipment.

And there was no way he could care less about how Jerry handled the situation. Chen An had to take the guys back to China immediately, and time was running out.

"Chen, you are right. It is such a waste to leave this kind of thing to Warner. It should be placed in the hands of people who will truly cherish it." Jerry, an excellent employee of Warner, also came to his senses and turned back.

After Chen And's persuasion that treasures should belong to those with virtue, he suddenly came to his senses. It was not clear whether he had planned it in advance.

After Chen Andon's description, Warner, a notorious entity and Batman's biggest enemy, no longer deserves to have these things.

Considering that the Batmobile was too big, the two of them gave up on it at the same time.

The treasure can only be left in the dust for the time being.

"I'm going to blow you up when I get the chance." Chen An thought silently in his heart, feeling a sense of regret while holding the champagne.

Chen An shook the amber wine in the glass, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up, "Be careful in doing things, don't let Mr. Barry know, and hide it at home. I will take it directly to Huaxia, and you must be steady here too."

"Believe me, Chen. I have already prepared a secret compartment at home. No one will find it."

Chen An looked at the confident Jerry and his mouth twitched. You kid is really a talent. It is a blessing for Warner to have you.

Do I need to dig a basement and design an elevator so that I can really become Batman?

The two of them quietly came to the prop room, and with their tacit understanding, they designed the prop room on the second floor.

There are also matching pipes outside, suitable for climbing.

Of course, both Chen An and others had keys.

They sneaked in secretly and the director and producer of the crew entered the prop room without anyone noticing.

Looking at the bat suit and other equipment neatly arranged in the glass cabinet in front of him.

Hang the props on the belt and take off the two sets of suits.

Put it quietly into the parked trunk.

"Chen, do you want to break the window?" The two people who returned to the prop room to deal with the traces looked at the window in the corner.

Chicago is indeed the real-life version of Gotham. Someone actually climbed into the second-floor window and took away the crew's props. It's simply impossible to guard against!
Chen An didn't need to answer. After they finished dealing with the problem, the two of them smashed the glass together.

Then he immediately drove away.

Back at the banquet, everyone who was drinking happily didn't notice the two people who disappeared for a while.

Besides, I don’t need to worry about the director and the producer.

After taking a breath, the two who came to rest chatted for a while, and Bell, whose face was red from drinking, came over.

He expressed his gratitude to Chen An for giving him the opportunity to play such a role.

During the filming process he could feel that the film would be good and that this role was a rare opportunity for him.

"Director, I don't know if I'll have the chance to continue acting. Can I get a bat dart as a souvenir?" At the end, Bale also stated his purpose.

When he was stealing it in the theater, he was caught by the props team and had to return it, so he was thinking about whether he could ask the director for one, and the producer happened to be there.

"Oh Bell, you should know that the props belong to Warner, I can't help but feel sorry." Chen An said righteously in front of Bell. Jerry nodded, "That's right Mr. Bell, thank you for your performance, but we really can't do anything about the props."

After hearing what the two said, Bale sighed and expressed his understanding. After all, Warner is notoriously stingy.

It seems that if there is a sequel, I will have to rely on myself.

It was good enough to be able to take away a set of Bruce Wayne's high-end Armani suits used during filming, but he still wanted Batman's equipment.

Seeing there was no chance, Bell left without talking any more.

The entire cocktail party cost more than 100,000 US dollars, and everyone in the crew was very happy.

However, Chen An seemed very anxious because there were still filming opportunities in the country, so he hurried back home.

Seeing that Chen An didn't seem to be fighting for the editing rights, Warner was very happy and let him go.

I just like such an obedient director with a smile on my face.

Chen An packed up his things and hurried back home.

The theft of the crew's props was suppressed for a few days but finally made it to the newspapers.

Countless netizens from the United States offered high prices to buy it online.

But the stolen props disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of them ever again.

As for Chen An, he even spent a lot of money to buy a plane and sent everyone back to China as soon as possible.

On the plane, Chen Wei saw Chen An smiling all the way and couldn't stop feeling happy.

He asked curiously, "What are you so happy about?" To be honest, he was a little confused.

Chen An smiled but didn't say anything. Instead he shook his head.

Chen Wei was so curious that his teeth were itching.

Of course Chen An would not say no in front of so many people, as Warner also has cooperative investments in China.

If one of these people leaks the news, it might even reach the ears of Warner headquarters.

"I'll tell you when I get back." Chen An patted Chen Wei's shoulder and said quietly.

Only Zhao Xiong sat nearby and watched, knowing what was going on.

After all, he was the one who put all the things into the box and was responsible for carrying it up, how could he not know?

Chen Wei became even more curious as he looked at his mysterious look.

But there was nothing he could do since Chen An refused to speak.

The plane landed in Beijing.

Everyone else in the crew was very happy, after all, they had been wandering outside for half a year.

It was not easy to get back.

Chen An didn't feel anything. He was used to flying abroad and even came back several times.

But compared to the last time I came back, the capital city has become desolate this time.

"Everyone go back and rest for a while, but I still have filming plans here, so wait for notification." Chen An said to the crew before getting off the plane.

It’s still early for the holiday, but let’s rest for a while first.

"Director Chen, are you going abroad again?" an employee asked curiously.

Chen An shook his head. "It won't take long to go to Hong Kong Island to shoot, so everyone can come back and spend the New Year in peace."

"No problem, Director Chen, we are always ready." After hearing Chen An's words, the employees felt relieved.

When they first started filming the original version, they thought that if the schedule continued they would have to stay abroad for the New Year.

Chen An said that the filming would probably end in November, and it really ended in November, so they all believed it.

Before parting, Chen An held Chen Wei and whispered, "Come to my house tomorrow to show you something."

"Not today?" Chen Wei was a little confused.

"Take a good rest today. We'll have something to eat together tomorrow. Remember to bring some dishes. You've worked hard during this period." Chen An said with a smile.

It has to be tomorrow. It would be boring if I don’t wear it and show it to you.
