Before the last day in November 1995, Actor Henry settled all the actor contracts, and several major role-players began to report on the crew one after another.

A black Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was driving smoothly towards Warner Bros. Studios. Wayne leaned on the sofa and held a bottle of water. A trace of fatigue could be seen between his eyebrows. Nina sat opposite him and looked at fashion magazines, looking up from time to time, and looked up and casting a caring look.

In the past few days, the script of "The Walker of the Infinite Side" has been given to the main creators of the crew one after another. Everyone is very serious about the complete script. Even after getting off work, they will occasionally discuss their opinions or understanding with him via phone.

This discussion gradually decreased after several major actors read the script for the first time.

Wayne gradually devoted all his energy to work. Seeing that the crew was about to transfer to Boston, when filming officially started, his family had been with Naomi Watts' golden retriever Fendi, and went over in a sunny afternoon.

After examination by a pet doctor, the conclusion was that it was too old and its physical function was severely degraded, and it would take several months at most. During this period, any sleep could allow it to leave the world.

But Wayne knew that this was a natural law and no one could resist it. No matter how much money he had, he couldn't buy more time.

Seeing that the film was about to start officially, he could only put work first and threw all these worries behind his head.

Rolls-Royce parked outside the Warner Bros. Studio. Several people ignored the reporter's questions, took the tram to the prepared studio, and walked directly into a temporary large conference room.

They came relatively late. When they came in, they found that the main creators of the crew had already gathered most of the people, and the actors and the staff behind the scenes were clearly distinguished. Except for Gilmore and Robert whispering to discuss the camera issue, the others were looking at each other in silence, waiting for the meeting to officially begin.

"Oh, look at our Mr. Batman, it's a big change." After sitting at one end of the conference table, Wayne teased Christian Bale.

A few months ago, the British actor still looked strong and gloomy. After this period of time, the biggest change in his entire person is his temperament. Those who showed their sharpness and strength became more and more like ordinary people.

Time is always a good medicine to dilute everything. After several months, the symptoms that were left behind because they were too deeply involved in the play were often unable to distinguish between the inside and outside the play, but now it has completely disappeared from him.

Christian Bale smiled. "This period is mainly about in-depth experience. I have to say that playing a policeman is much easier than playing Bruce Wayne. At least I don't have to lock myself in the room and practice the gloomy feeling in front of the mirror."

"Okay, it seems that the past two months of police career has really helped you a lot." Wayne shrugged, quite curious about the other party's current state.

Unlike other actors in the crew, Christian Bale got the rough storyline of the script early on, and knew which role he was going to play in a few months, because he didn't have to be distracted from audition issues, which brought considerable convenience to his preparation work.

Just two months ago, the British actor joined the Los Angeles Police Department through Warner Bros. He became an intern patrol detective in Beverly. Of course, he did not have any law enforcement powers, and the reason he did this was to experience the real police life.

The profession of police seems to be very close to ordinary people, and you can see them on the road almost every day. But if you ask passers-by, the life the police live and what their career status is, 80% of people should not know. The law enforcement officers around you are considered a semi-mysterious group.

Although this profession appears in movies very frequently and most often appears as negative characters, their real working status in reality is still unknown to most ordinary people.

"This is really not an easy job." Christian Bale saw everyone around him staring at him, and understood that everyone was curious about his internship in the past two months. He raised his eyebrows to several acquaintances around him, and he spoke with lingering fear:

"In the past two months, I believe I have seen a lot of ugliness in human nature. Guys, this is still in the wealthy Beverly. When I think of other places in Los Angeles, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. The police job is not only not much salary, but also has to face the sudden troubles and dangers that suddenly appear.

Do you know? Just about half a month ago, I was about to get off work that evening, my two colleagues forced a suspicious Chevrolet sedan to stop. The kind of broken car shouldn't have appeared near Beverly Park. When I walked forward for routine inspection, the driver took out his revolver and shot at us. Fortunately, he was shot dead..."

No one expected that actors who just wanted to experience the life of the police actually encountered street firefights. They were not real patrolmen with less life than paper. They were all millionaires in terms of wealth. In order to act, whether such risks is worth it depends on their personal thoughts.

"And what, Chris."

The prop team director Wicks Hart sat across from him and asked, "Hey, you were scared to pee your pants at that time, right?" Gu

Christian Bale rolled his eyes at him. The two had a lot of contact with each other during the filming of "Batman: The Moment of War". All the props used by the protagonists were from each other's hands, so the relationship between them has always been good.

"I was really scared at that time." Even in front of so many people, he did not hesitate at all and expressed his true feelings. "You don't understand, the feeling of someone raising a gun to shoot you, especially the "swooshing sound" of bullets is simply terrible, completely different from what you see in the movie!

Fortunately, I was following a pair of senior police detective partners, who directly cleared the magazines of the gangsters. Afterwards, I realized that they had found more than a dozen kilograms of contraband from the car. Damn Mexicans! Are they planning to turn Los Angeles into a contraband dumping place?"

It can be seen that after this incident, Christian Bale was full of disgust for powdered contraband, and the expression on his face was unconcealed.

"Hey, hey, hey! Chris, don't beat everyone to death." Schwartz tapped the table and pointed his hand at the assistant director beside him. "Gilmore is also a Mexican, but he is different from those dealers. This is a very easy guy to get along with."

Christian Bale quickly said, "sorry, Guilmore, you know I didn't mean that."

Gilmo obviously understood the other person's thoughts, and nodded as if he was smiling, indicating that he didn't care.

"You're not a real policeman, Chris." Wayne saw that almost everyone in the conference room was here, pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and interrupted their chat. "So, it's enough to understand their working status, don't think too much. Moreover, even without Mexican dealers, Los Angeles has long been the dumping place for those things."

This sentence made everyone in the conference room laugh. Yes, there is an entertainment industry that has reached its peak, and all kinds of contraband will always appear with the entertainment industry.

Whether it is a big star or a practitioner behind the scenes in the circle, they have more or less clinged to these things. There are countless carnival parties in this city every day, and this kind of exciting thing is the absolute protagonist of the party.

"Okay, I'll ask everyone to come here today because we will fly to Boston in two days to start the official shooting work." Wayne knocked on the table and continued after the conference room was quiet:

"Everyone goes back to deal with their own personal problems. This time the main shot will be taken in Boston, so we will stay there for two to three months. During this period, I don't want anyone to cause trouble for me! I believe you have all received notifications from Actor, right? Take care of your minority staff and cause trouble. I will only look for you!"

After saying that, he looked around the conference room with a stern look, and made sure that everyone had listened carefully, then he retracted his forward-leaning upper body, leaned against the backrest of the chair, and looked at the second producer of the crew.

"Actor, are there any problems with the shooting location and hotel there?"

"No problem." Actor Henry nodded. "I have communicated with the local municipal government and signed a contract. Those scenes that need to be cleared will help clear the streets and cooperate with the crew's work."

“Ok.”

After saying that, he turned his eyes to the actors on the left and swept them one by one from Brad Pitt and others. "Many of you worked with me for the first time, and there is something to say in front. There is no contraband on my crew, or who has affected work because of sucking those things, I will speak directly on the contract."

Like all previous projects, whether it is an actor contract or a behind-the-scenes personnel contract, the anti-drug terms are clearly marked on it. Everyone knows that the actual significance of the writing is not very important. After the work is over, no one will stare at you whether you smoke Ye Zi cigarettes.

But I can remind everyone that the crew can come up with a contract at any time, and deduct the rewards you should have received for hard work. It depends on the choice of each person.

Then Wayne exchanged work arrangements with several behind-the-scenes supervisors before ending the final preparatory meeting.

"The Walker of the Side" is expected to take a shooting cycle of about ten to twelve weeks. If the shooting work goes well, less time may be required for such realistic films.

There are no large number of special effects shots in the film, so the pressure of post-work is naturally reduced too much, so Wayne has plenty of time to prepare for filming. At worst, he can slowly polish one shot at a time. His requirements for the actors' performance will be much stricter.

This is not a pure commercial film, and its purpose is not entirely box office numbers. In the end, it is still necessary to go to the Oscars, and there is no room for perfunctory performance part of the actors.

Two days passed quickly, and most of the crew members took a chartered flight from Warner Bros. and flew to Boston together, where the official filming of the film was about to begin.
