384. Chapter 384 The Inevitable Gossip
"I swear, this is an alien spaceship. There is no such car on Earth... no!" The middle-aged bald driver who caused the accident was taken away by the police and still shouted in a random manner.
Of course, he would yell like this not to get rid of himself, but... he was drunk. Not very drunk, but it was enough that he came out of the car after the crash and shouted loudly, and he looked quite excited, as if he had really hit an alien spaceship. If it weren't for the road closure, the police were around and came quite quickly, maybe he had called the media to reveal the news.
"This is really a disaster." Sean grinned and said, looking at the driver who was taken into the police car and still talking nonsense.
Looking at the Batmobile parked on the street, Christopher was taking a group of people to check. Although the impact was not very heavy, it still caused some losses. After all, many people heard the impact.
"Today seems not our lucky day. Although the car can be repaired, I don't think about using it in these two or three days." Christopher quickly walked over and said depressedly.
"Don't care, Christo, every movie will encounter many difficulties when filming. Now we just have to wait two or three days, so we can shoot something else first." Sean comforted him.
"I'll be relieved to hear you say this." Christopher was obviously waiting for him to say this, and immediately patted his arm, "Prepare to pass on the bat suit, Bruce."
I...Shawn rolled his eyes. If he had known this, he would have closed his mouth and hid aside. Maybe he would not have caused trouble. Of course, he was just thinking about it. Even if he didn't come to comfort Christopher, the subsequent shooting still required him to wear a bat suit. The batmobile was damaged and could not be filmed according to the preset plan, and he could not waste this opportunity to close the road. Then according to the script, he could only be allowed to appear.
Sean hates bat suits. Although they look cool when worn, they only look cool, and people who wear them feel very uncomfortable. Because they have to be close to their bodies, chest tightness is inevitable, and they have to show their bodies, so they can only wear a short-sleeved T-shirt inside. However, this thing is not breathable. The weather is a little hotter and you will sweat when you move. When Sean first put it on, it took almost a day to get used to it.
In addition, the cloak of the clothes was particularly long. In previous shots, two people often dragged the cloak behind their backs to prevent them from being dirty on the ground.
However, the director had already spoken, and Sean had no other choice but to dress honestly and start filming. Fortunately, Chicago is in the Great Lakes area of the northeastern Great Lakes, and even though May has already entered, the temperature is not very high. At this time, the maximum temperature in Los Angeles can sometimes approach 80 degrees during the day, so Sean endured it for a relatively longer time.
Moreover, the enthusiasm of the Chicago people was also supporting him - when he first appeared in a bat suit, the people watching the fun nearby were in an uproar and then began to cheer.
"Look, it's Batman, it's Batman!"
"So they were filming Batman movies, which is amazing!"
"I hope I won't be inexplicably filmed like "Batman and Robin."
Discussions like this were one after another in the crowd, including children and young people. If you look carefully, you can find a few middle-aged faces.
Speaking of which, although Batman's hometown Gotham City combines the styles of several cities such as New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc., the name Gotham City means Fool's Village, and New York also happens to have the same nickname, when it comes to the prototype city of Gotham City, most people will say Chicago.
I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding this is, just like Superman’s metropolitan prototype is Toronto, but later it added a lot of New York elements, so over time it became like New York.
In short, Chicago people have a very special relationship with Batman. When the earliest live-action Batman movie was released, Chicago was one of the most box office cities. Similarly, after the release of the worst Batman and Robin in the entire series, Chicago was also the most criticized.
Now, after being refrigerated for five or six years, Batman's live-action movie is on the agenda again and says Chicago is coming to film, it's no wonder the locals are so happy.
"Seeing their passionate looks, I suddenly felt very stressed. If the movie failed, I might be spitting here." Sean said to Frederick, who came from Los Angeles.
Of course, he was joking, how could it fail as a Christopher Nolan movie?
But Frederick didn't think much, and immediately asked nervously: "Why, what changes have your premonition or your intuition?"
"Of course not, I just said so... casually." Sean couldn't help laughing.
"Help, Sean, do you know how much I care about this series? This is the most direct and most likely path to superstars at the moment, so don't say those bad things, okay?" Although the agent was sighing, his tone was particularly exaggerated, making Sean involuntarily want to cover his forehead.
"Okay okay, I don't know I'm so strong that I'm so strong that I'll end a movie with just a word." Sean said with his eyes rolled.
Well, he can understand Frederick's thoughts. Not many Hollywood is considered an international superstar. All of them are actors with huge influence and connections.
George Clooney is a big name, but becoming a superstar has been happening in the past two years, and it is not too stable, and Pitt is even worse than him.
Becoming a superstar agent, and having it personally, and working with him, Frederick will also increase his position in his own circle, and becoming a progressive partner is even easier. So when he knew that Sean would scream with excitement when he knew that Shaun promised Christopher's invitation, he finally got to know that such words.
Unfortunately, Sean's main goal is honor. He has status but no honor. Such a superstar is still a little bit inferior. Not to mention anything else, Tom Cruise can be considered a real superstar, but who has a higher status if he wants to stand next to Tom Hanks?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this difference is only a little bit, but at that level people are fighting for this.
From this we can see the influence of the Oscars, or Hollywood's film industry, if it were Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland... Not to mention Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, even Europe, the best actor winners of the three major film festivals, their status is not as good as the stars that can bring huge profits to film companies and make audiences in many countries buy into it.
In fact, the same is true for Oscars. Most of the best actors and actresses won’t have high commercial value, but who has made the Oscars gain wide popularity around the world with the spread of Hollywood blockbusters?
If you want to compare various awards to pearls, the Oscar is undoubtedly the biggest and most dazzling one. Maybe it is not so eye-catching when you hold it in your hand, but once you are embedded in the crown called a superstar, you will immediately compare others, but like the two examples of Tom mentioned above.
Sean is not short of high-box movies, especially after having a good relationship with Christopher, so rushing to make achievements in the Oscars is what he wants to do most now.
Okay, I went off topic again. In fact, these are all clichés. Frederick also knew some of his thoughts, but this did not prevent him from trying his best to persuade him. As for Sean, he still persuaded him, and with his persuasion, he could occasionally see what he ignored under negligence or other reasons.
"Okay, let's talk about the situation in Los Angeles. What do I need to do?" Sean pulled the topic back.
Although others are in Chicago, things are still paying attention to Los Angeles. As his agent and agent, Frederick and Sanders took turns to discuss things with him. Many things need to be communicated face to face to play the best role.
There are many themes this time, one of which is the scandal caused by the enthusiasm of Chicago people.
After the movie started, although Warner did not deliberately promote it, he did not intend to conceal the fact that the Batman series was restarted, so the media quickly learned that Sean became the new Batman.
At that time, their reaction was not big, because the title of the creator of the actress was too loud in the New York Post and attracted too much attention. The media also wanted to dig deeper. Isn't reporting on the Batman series at this time equivalent to diverting attention?
This is true. Several media reported the news on this, but the response was average. The public still likes to discuss whether the actress next year will have an affair with Sean.
However, after going out to Chicago and igniting the enthusiasm of the locals, many local media also began to wander around the crew, hoping to catch scoops.
Then, they took Katie's photos, not with Sean, but it didn't prevent them from starting to play, especially when they knew she was the heroine, they were even more excited.
"Shaan Don dumped Jessica Bell and rekindled the flames with Katie Helms." This report was released immediately.
When other media reacted, they couldn't help but beat their chests and stamped their feet. They didn't expect to miss a big news because they looked at the list of actors. Of course, this is also related to Katie's reputation. Although last year's "The Curse" scared North American audiences, unlike "Midnight Bell", Kayako, as a ghost, is more eye-catching than the heroine.
So, Katie, who has no representative work yet, is currently considered a second-tier actor at most. Batman has too much content to report, and Sean has attracted too much attention, so she is unfortunately ignored.
Chapter completed!
