It's quite destined to say that Wayne remembers it very clearly that Christopher Nolan's entire career was basically tied to Warner Bros. Even several projects that allowed him to rapidly improve his status in the circle were successfully produced because of the strong support of Warner Bros.

Compared to this director with a large number of hardcore fans more than ten years later, Zach Schneider is obviously much more painful. Since he took over the DC Universe series, he has been constantly being criticized by senior Warner Bros. It can be said that even if he was given Nolan's treatment and power, many things would not be so bad.

Although Wayne knew very well that even if Christopher Nolanken joined his team, it would not take long for this talented director to seek better development.

But now Gilmore is already busy preparing for "Resident Evil" related matters alone, and he urgently needs an assistant director who is similar to his philosophy.

The filming of "Superman" is easy to say. After all, whether it is Zach Schneider or Charles Rowan, a well-known producer in the Warner Bros. system, they have been preparing for several months in advance. Even if the official filming begins, Director Zha can share most of the tedious work for him.

But after "Superman" ends, the finale of the first phase of DC production "Justice League", which is impossible at that time. Let Zach Schneider continue to help Wayne manage the crew as an assistant director.

Then, Christopher Nolan, who appeared at this time, undoubtedly became the best candidate.

Later, Wayne also received a call from the other party. After receiving the promise of the position of deputy director, Christopher Nolan also joined the team as he wished.

It was already the end of March, and there was no room for rest. On the third day after the Oscars, Wayne plunged into the crew of "Superman". Before April arrived, Wayne led the crew to board a plane leaving Los Angeles and headed to Chicago, the capital of sin.

After a long and tedious preliminary preparations, this highly anticipated superhero officially started filming.

In the early morning, accompanied by the fog that had not yet dissipated, a convoy of cars set off from the hotel and headed to the shooting location outside Chicago. Behind the crew, there were reporters of various vehicles. This was a project that attracted the attention of the entire North American. There was no possibility of starting the camera silently.

However, the sufficient preliminary preparation time made good preparations for the shooting work. After the convoy stopped beside a cemetery, the departments quickly began the preparations before the shooting.

"When will we let that group of reporters come in and take pictures?"

Charles Rowan found Wayne, who was in charge of the command plane, pointed to a group of reporters surrounding the crew's convoy, and asked: "These guys are almost crazy, it's better to send them away as soon as possible."

"Zach, Zach!"

Hearing the producer's reaction, Wayne wrinkled gently and waved to Zach Schneider, who was communicating with the lighting team, shouted: "You come and host the first shot. According to the shooting plan, after shooting the first shot, let the group of reporters come in and take pictures, interview, and then send them away as soon as possible!"

"No problem, boss."

When he heard Wayne's order, even though he knew that the shooting would have a chance to show his skills after the filming officially began, Zach Schneider was still surprised. You know, this is the first shot material for the official shooting.

Many staff members around also heard Wayne's shouts, and many people looked at Zach Schneider with all kinds of envy.

"Can I think such an arrangement will be the subject of future shooting?"

Walking side by side with Wayne towards the director position, producer Charles Rowan looked at the man beside him and asked in a low voice.

"It's right to say that."

Without any concealment, Wayne returned to the director's position, glanced at the director's monitor and said directly: "Charles, this crew is a team formed by Zach and you, and I trust Zach's ability. I can help him with all the pressure, but it is impossible for him to bear it all the time.

I can give him the shooting command he wants, of course, the premise is that he must not make those stupid mistakes. Otherwise…”

There are some things that needless to say, and although Charles Rowan has some opinions, he can understand them. After all, Wayne has already said this.

He could have thought that during the filming of the project "Superman", most of the shots were probably carried out under the command of Zach Schneider. As long as Zach Schneider does not make mistakes, he can get most of the rights of a director, but the premise is that he does not make mistakes.

"light?"

"Ok!"

“Camera?”

"It's ready!"

“…”

As Wayne said, when he sat behind the director's monitor, he never got up again. The filming preparations were basically hosted by Zach Schneider, and even Christopher Nolan, who was still confused, was trying his best to cooperate with Zach Schneider's work.

Before the first shot was officially shot, Zach Schneider came to Wayne and whispered and confirmed again: "Boss, I'm really here for the first shot?"

"Go, Zach, prove your abilities to me."

In fact, according to the planned shooting plan, the shooting tasks in the previous few days were very easy, especially on the first day. This scene was very simple. Louis Laien followed the clues and found the cemetery where Clark Kent's father was, and then forced Clark Kent to appear.

It can be said that there are so many shooting arrangements on the first day, and the shooting background is just this cemetery. Of course, the reason why such a relaxed shooting task is to leave time for reporters to take photos and interview.

"Come on a bet, Wayne?"

After Zach Schneider turned around and left excitedly, Charles Rowan shook his head, pulled a chair and sat next to Wayne. "I bet that in less than a month, you will take back all your power and helplessly guide all the shots."

"Ha, Charles, we have worked together before, you should come and understand my personality..."

With a smile, he glanced at the producer beside him and Wayne said, "As long as no one deliberately challenges my authority, I have never been a selfish and powerful beast of crew."

"No, I'm not talking about this."

Charles Rowan took out a cigarette, took out one, and threw the cigarette box to Wayne. "Do you know what's the biggest difference between Zach and you?"

Obviously he didn't want Wayne's answer. After litting a cigarette on his own, he continued: "A bad temper is an uncontrollable temper. No matter what difficulties your crew encounters, you can always keep your brain clear to solve the problem, but his temper..."

Speaking of this, Charles Rowan shook his head. He has seen "Superman" countless times in the past few months. It can be seen that Zach Schneider does not want to lose his temper, but when a staff member makes stupid mistakes, he can't control himself.

Many directors have bad tempers, including truck driver James Cameron, who is also a well-known bad temper in the circle. The difference is that those directors' bad tempers usually make the crew work more seriously.

According to Charles Rowan's observation, Zach Schneider's temper will only make the staff more cautious and unable to extricate themselves.

"Ok, bet..." Wayne shrugged. He didn't believe that he would sit here. Zach Schneider would continue his bad temper. "The bet is just a bottle of good ice bar, how about it?"

"Shit, props! Don't tell me you've checked it here, f**k, it's better to give me a good reason, otherwise..."

However, before Wayne finished speaking, he heard Zach Schneider's roar. The slap in the face was so fast that Charles Rowan almost finished laughing. Wayne also held a sip of smoke in his throat and coughed wildly several times.

"You're sure you won't go and have a look." Charles Rowan spread his hands.

The muscles on Wayne's face couldn't help but stir up the collapse and had to make excuses. "You know, this is just a small problem, a small problem that every crew will have."

Not long after, Nina, who had been wandering on the set, came over and squatted beside Wayne and explained: "That tombstone of Jonathan Kent is the tombstone of Clark Kent's father. The props set made a birthday against it."

"Bang."

Wayne raised his hand and patted his forehead. This was a mess, so Zach would lose his temper, even if he was hosting the filming, it would be hard to bear it.

But as he said, this is a crew of more than 200 people, and there are various small problems every day. This is a small society, and there is no way to eliminate these messy things. But this is just a small problem. More than one piece of similar props are prepared. As long as it is not all wrong, it will not affect normal shooting.

The first shot is very simple. Under Wayne's observation, the camera clearly gave the tombstone two seconds, and then moved to Ben Affleck, who was dressed in casual clothes.

“cut.”

Soon, Zach Schneider called out that basically, this kind of simple shot that explains the background, as long as the shooting angle is fine, there is no need to do it several times. It is rare that the next scene between the male and female protagonists will be in the same scene.

"Zach."

Taking advantage of the preparations between the departments, Wayne waved to Zach Schneider and called the other party over again.

"What's wrong, boss? Are you not satisfied with this shot?"

“The lens is good, no problem.”

Wayne thought for a moment, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Zach, if you want to control a large crew and make all departments excited, it will not work by relying on a bad temper alone. I have a trick here, do you want to listen?"

Zach Schneider opened his mouth wide in surprise. "What?"

At this time, even Nina, Charles Rowan, and even Christopher Nolan, who had been surrounded by him, all the interesting expressions revealed in their eyes. Their ears were pricked up quietly, wanting to hear what the so-called trick was.

"Shut your mouth, Zach. The first step is to close your mouth." Wayne said with a hint of teasing in his tone. He looked at Zach Schneider, who was facing a question mark in front of him. "Shut your mouth at any time that has nothing to do with work. Even if it is necessary for work, tell yourself to shut up and turn it around in your mind before saying it."

"Is this really useful?" Zach Schneider half-believed and half-doubted.

"You have time to try it."

"All right......"

Looking at Zach Schneider who left Didigu, Wayne's face was full of smiles.

After all, Nina couldn't help it, looked at her boss and asked, "Boss, why do I feel like you're teasing Zach? Is it really useful to keep silent?"

“Of course it’s useful.”

With Kacha, Wayne lit a cigarette again and explained casually: "Dear Ms. Klein, you should know that even dogs are divided in this way, let alone people? Do you think that "a dog that doesn't bark bites people" is just a simple proverb? I tell you, this is the experience summarized by people in the thousands of years of history of the East!"

Hearing his casual explanation, not only Nina's face was very strange, but even Charles Ron and Christopher Nolan, who eavesdropped, had a strange look on her face...
