As the second largest state in the United States, Texas has a unique status in the United States. In addition to the racially mixed Latino and African immigrants and the cowboys with a hot temper, the vast western plains have gradually formed the second Silicon Valley and formed the fourth largest metropolitan area after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Geographical location, economic structure and political role are all important.》Pinto Novel, x.

However, when people mention Texas, they always think of Houston, San Antonio and Dallas, but no one mentions Austin.

As the capital of Texas, Austin is so low-key that it is hard to mention in almost any aspect. From economy to culture, sports to entertainment, and even architecture, it is difficult to find obvious characteristics. The population of less than 800,000 people fully interprets the "large land and sparsely populated" western style. Even Texas themselves have almost forgotten the existence of this capital.

Therefore, when a Hollywood crew arrived in Austin for filming, it alarmed many city residents, and everyone seemed very surprised. Even at the peak of western films, there were only a handful of film crews who came to Austin to film, which immediately became the biggest topic of conversation in the ordinary daily life of the people of Austin.

Albert Allen threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on the sole of his shoes, scratched his head, and looked back at Edgar Snow, who was sitting behind him. Edgar crossed his legs and sat leisurely on the chair, chewing gum in his mouth, and bathing in the sun, looking extremely relaxed. This made Albert roll his eyes, "Didn't you say you came here to help?"

Edgar rolled his eyes indifferently, "This is not my job, please!"

Edgar is a makeup artist. Albert had no way to refute this, so he could only turn his head depressedly and look at the residents around him who were protruding his head. Everyone was curious and circled around the crew, with a full look of exploration in his eyes that seemed to want to penetrate the iron sheet of the studio and get a glimpse of the truth.

However, the studio in front of me was surrounded by tightly. Only the cement-gray exterior walls, three trucks and two RVs parked neatly at the door, were nothing special, and it seemed that there was no big difference from the construction site. This was really disappointing, so the residents' eyes fell on Edgar and Albert, and they were polite. The quizzes and guessing eyes were not too malicious, but they could not ignore them directly.

Edgar took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on them, trying to block the gaze of those looking at them. "You said, why did Lance choose to come to Austin? Isn't Burbank very convenient?"

Albert also wanted to hide in the studio, but today is the first day the crew of "Sin City" started filming, and all dispatch work must be organized and supervised by him. Moreover, Lance issued an absolute ban - prohibiting all forms of visits, and the crew must keep it absolutely confidential and not allow any information to be disclosed.

No one would suspect that Lance was joking. Not long ago, Ben Affleck's example was still alive, so the entire crew was on high alert.

Although I don't understand the reason for Lance's move, it undoubtedly made Albert's work very difficult.

The promotional display of "killing with a knife" has come to an end. The Paramount public relations team led by Tom began to move to the awards season, attending various parties, charity gatherings, trade union annual meetings, etc., and slowly launched the academy's public relations strategy. However, the movie is still killing all over the box office rankings, which has attracted a lot of attention from Lance's every move. Even though Tom and the awards season attracted most of the attention, many media have followed him; not to mention the unsuppressed enthusiasm of local residents in Austin.

Although, compared to Burbank, the number of people in Austin seems to be much lower. Burbank can see hundreds of people wandering around the studio all year round - especially when big-name stars appear; in fact, Burbank's studio system has been improved. Even if there are crowds watching, they are all outside the studio to ensure that there is enough space around the studio for the crew to invest in the shooting. In Austin, the number of people is smaller, but the distance is closer. Almost everyone is around the roadblocks set up by the studio, which makes the entire studio extremely lively, which also creates many obstacles for the crew's work.

So, today Albert was in charge at the entrance of the crew to ensure the smooth progress of all work.

"You know about taxation." Albert replied casually to Edgar. The biggest difference between director and producer is that the director is wild and casual, and every move of the producer must be linked to funds and the account book. "City of Sin" was produced by Chaos Pictures and has no other help, so he must be careful.

The crowd suddenly became turbulent. Albert and Edgar both turned their heads, and then they heard the "rustling" sound coming from afar. An ordinary dark blue sedan appeared at the end of the road. The residents gathered on both sides of the street walked out one after another, pointing at the sedan bustling with excitement on their faces. The lively scene almost gave the illusion of being surrounded by thousands of troops - but in fact, there were only less than a hundred people around, scattered in every corner of the street, leaving a large blank space.

The car seemed to be frightened, and the speed of the car was significantly accelerated, but then he saw the roadblock and had to brake quickly. As a result, the car stopped directly. The car stopped in place for a while, then turned on the fire and slowly drove over. The window in the driver's seat rolled down, revealing a young and tender face. He looked around and looked, "Uh, may I ask... is this the crew of 'Boy Scouts vs. Zombies'?"

Albert raised his head and looked around. The simple and kind residents immediately turned around and left without any matter. Someone pointed to the sycamore tree next to him and began to discuss. The whitewashing posture was really funny, which made people laugh. Albert withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man in front of him again, "Who is asking a question?"

"Uh, I'm Tim, hybrid-teologies." The young man said, looking back and asked, "Where is the pass? Where is the pass?" There was a riot in the car, and the young man looked at Albert again, "Sorry, we didn't... realize... Oh, here!" The man in the passenger seat handed over a document, then waved at Albert awkwardly. The young man explained, "We are all hybrid-teologies, and what's the name on the document, there are eight people in the car behind..."

Albert took the ID and looked at it carefully, then bent down and looked through the car window. This made the young man's words cut off. He looked back at his partner with some confusion. Before he could react, Albert patted the car door, "Welcome to the crew, you can go in."

The young man wanted to drive in, but Albert called them again and handed over the document, "After entering, you'd better get a pass, believe me, you'll get it." After that, Albert took a step back. The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and then started the car again and passed the roadblock.

Hybrid Technology is a special effects company that will work with orphanage, café-fx, to create all background effects for "City of Sin".

Since the entire movie of "City of Sin" will be filmed in front of the green screen in the studio, this puts high demands on the actors' performances; at the same time, since the movie footage will be stylized in comics, it also puts high demands on computer special effects. Unlike most of the "day acquired" who add special effects in real scenes, most of the pictures of "City of Sin" are virtual and absolutely comical, so Lance decided to let all three special effects companies come to work with them.

During the shooting process, Lance and Frank Miller will directly make suggestions on the visual effects shots, and then the special effects company will implement them completely according to the plan to improve the efficiency of computer effects production; at the same time, the actors can also directly observe the presented effects and present more accurate performances.

After watching the car enter the crew, Edgar's voice came over, "'Boy Scouts vs. Zombies'?" The words were full of teasing and jokes, and the urge to burst out could hardly hide.

Albert shrugged, "Lance's idea, don't ask me." After pausing, Albert turned around and said, "At least this made many crows fly away." Crows, which refers to journalists and paparazzi. Lance fabricated a fake title and lied that this was another low-cost film invested by Chaos Pictures, and "Sin City" will start filming in Detroit - between the false and the real, many reporters have been cheated.

Turning around, you can see the residents one by one stretching their ears and trying to eavesdrop on clues here. The scene is really helpless and funny. If news about "Boy Scouts vs. Zombies" begins to appear on the Internet for a while, that would be really interesting.

While speaking, another black sedan slowly drove over. Albert came forward. He thought it was the other four staff members of the hybrid technology, but the window rolled down and there was a familiar face. "Good afternoon, Albert, why are you guarding the door yourself?"

"I'm waiting for the prop car, and the high-altitude rocker camera has not been transported yet." Albert replied casually, "But why are you here? Do Lance know?" The person coming was Ian, which was an unexpected surprise.

Ian chuckled, "I haven't spoken to him on the phone yet, but he should be looking forward to me."

"I think so." Albert widened his eyes and said in a low voice. "I don't know what happened. Lance seemed a little irritable today, and the atmosphere in the crew seemed a little depressed. Your appearance saved a lot of people."
