Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

In the small conference room of the Waldorf Hotel in Manhattan, Murphy, Gal Gadot, Felix Raschel and Helena Espora frowned. Looking at the people sitting opposite from the New York City Hall, there were only two people coming to the New York City Hall, led by a middle-aged man with gray hair. They came over and seemed to have just a routine notice, and they had no intention of continuing to discuss with Murphy in this regard to cooperate with the shooting.

"Why?" Murphy asked at the middle-aged man, "Mr. Bloomberg, we have reached an agreement on filming before, why do you want to overturn it temporarily?"

As an important location for Hollywood movies, I don’t know how many crews are filming in New York every week. The New York City Hall is also very cooperative. As long as they do not disrupt normal social order, they will generally give the green light.

When Gal Gadot came, the other party agreed very happily, and both parties also signed a shooting agreement.

"I don't agree with you shooting in New York either." Bloomberg smiled formulaicly. "Small-scale shooting is OK, but large-scale shooting..."

As he said that, he shook his head.

"Small-scale shooting?" Murphy frowned even more.

This is a crime action movie, and the outdoor scenes in New York are almost all large-scale action scenes.

Gal Gadot glanced at Murphy and said, "Mr. Bloomberg, I have negotiated with you before and signed a draft."

"Sorry, Miss Gadot." Bloomberg seemed sincere. "We cannot enforce that agreement, and we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience it has brought to you."

The New York City Hall has a very good reputation in this regard. Murphy and Gal Gadot glanced at each other and had no idea why each other did this.

"You always have a reason, right?" asked Gal Gadot.

Bloomberg nodded and explained, "Because director Stanton has too much influence."

"Me?" Murphy asked even more inexplicably, pointing at himself, "Is this related to me?"

"Maybe you didn't pay attention," Bloomberg seemed to have no idea where to start. After thinking for a while, he said, "Director Stanton, you and your work have a huge influence. The "Wolf of Wall Street" released last year has caused many people to intensify their dissatisfaction with Wall Street..."

Murphy and Gal Gadot nodded slightly. They knew that after the release of "Wolf of Wall Street", especially after a series of publicity and marketing operations, the voices of dissatisfaction on the Internet were becoming louder and louder.

Bloomberg showed a helpless smile, "At present, there are many people and organizations preparing to brew a protest against Wall Street in New York and Manhattan. According to the news we have learned, the scale of this protest may be very large, and many of them have been influenced by "Wolf of Wall Street".

Hearing this, Murphy spread his hands and said that it had nothing to do with him.

Occupy Wall Street was already there, and perhaps the Wolf of Wall Street and that series of related hypes accelerated the process of this protest.

“City Hall has made a lot of effort.”

In Bloomberg's eyes, Murphy is a vested interest and must have nothing to do with the people who occupied Wall Street. He continued, "But it's not very effective. If they do rallies, we don't have a good idea."

Having said that, the meaning of the expression is already very obvious. Bloomberg said bluntly, "Many of the people in it are you and the Wolf of Wall Street. The Town Hall is worried that if you shoot publicly in New York, it will further stimulate their emotions, especially in the shooting plan you submitted, there are many outdoor scenes on Wall Street, which will send a wrong signal to those people and make the situation even more uncontrollable."

For government departments in most countries, stability is overwhelming.

But Bloomberg said, "And this kind of thing may also involve you. Director Stanton, I believe you don't want to see this situation, right?"

This is for sure. Of course, Murphy doesn't want to be involved in Occupy Wall Street. Movies are one thing, but it's another to him who is involved in it.

"So, we hope Director Stanton can carefully consider the location shooting plan in New York." Bloomberg said very skillfully. "Although we cannot cooperate this time, the unilateral cancellation of the shooting plan for "Black New York" will also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to your crew, but the Town Hall can promise that when Director Stanton comes to New York for filming in the future, the whole of New York will welcome you."

Gal Gadot glanced at Murphy again, and he had to make a decision.

Indeed, if the crew insists on filming in New York, the City Hall does not have the right to cancel the filming under relevant laws and regulations, but without the support of the City Hall, filming will be subject to various restrictions and become extremely inconvenient.

Especially the necessary road-closed shooting is almost impossible.

Murphy also understood this. He had absolute power in the crew and could make the decision whether he could shoot in New York.

After considering it and measuring the pros and cons, Murphy stood up and stretched out his right hand to Bloomberg, "I accept the advice of the New York City Hall and hope that we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Bloomberg quickly stood up and grabbed Murphy's hand, "Of course, New York also needs the great works of director Stanton."

Murphy laughed, and Bloomberg laughed too.

It's easy to reach a consensus on this aspect, for example, when Murphy talks about the crew taking some background shots in New York, Bloomberg immediately expressed his strong support.

After seeing Bloomberg off, several people returned to Murphy's suite and immediately discussed the sudden unexpected situation. It has become a certain fact that it is impossible to use real-life shooting in New York.

“We have to adjust our shooting plan.”

Gal Gadot walked to the coffee machine and received a cup of coffee for each of Murphy and the other three, "and you should notify Twentieth Century Fox as soon as possible."

"Well." Murphy nodded. Although he had such power, it was necessary to keep communicating. He said to Gal Gadot, "You are responsible for communicating with Twentieth Century Fox."

Then he looked at Filey Raschel, "the shooting plan has also been greatly adjusted."

Filey Raschel took the coffee handed over by Gal Gadot and said to Murphy, "If you don't shoot in real scenes, we don't need to use film to shoot."

Murphy stood up and took a few steps, and made a quick decision, "In this way, except for the shots shot by IMAX, all other scenes were changed from film to digital cameras. All scenes about New York scenes were set up on the sets in Venice, and the scenes and green screens were shot, and then replaced with real scenes in New York during post-production."

"Yes." Filey Raschel is experienced, "This is the best alternative."

"Helen." Murphy said to his art director again, "After going back, determine the set plan as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Helena Espora didn't talk much, but she was very reliable in doing things. "I will make plans as fast as possible."

Murphy said to Filey Raschel again, "Replace all the film cameras in the crew with digital cameras, and do a good job of connecting imax shooting to ordinary shooting."

His brain is running at high speed, "Gal, a separate list of all the cost changes caused by plan changes, communicate with third-party guarantee companies in a timely manner."

Finally, Murphy said, “Apart from background shots, all shooting plans related to New York will be cancelled.”

The crew will encounter various accidents in preparation. This is not the first time that such emergencies have happened in Murphy's project, and it is not difficult for him to deal with them.

Since the shooting plan in New York was cancelled, Murphy and others no longer had to stay in the Big Apple for inspection. As he and Filey Raschel said, all the scenes about New York were set up and green screen shots in the studio.

Murphy has never been the kind of director who is stubborn and doesn't like to adapt. Since he can't shoot it through film, it's also OK to use digital technology and cg synthesis.

Movies are never a technology.

In addition to the imax cameras that had to use 70mm film, after Murphy returned to Los Angeles, the crew returned all 35mm film cameras and instead rented several of Sony Electronics' latest digital cameras.

Twentieth Century Fox also responded to Murphy's plan very happily, and using digital technology to shoot and produce it is actually very beneficial to the publisher.

In the following time, although the crew also encountered other difficulties in the preparation, under the leadership of Murphy, they were basically solved smoothly. The actors, sets, lighting, recordings, props, equipment and special effects were fully cooperating with Murphy's work. By mid-September, the preparations for the film were gradually coming to an end.

At the same time, Murphy also formally determined the title of the project. The title of "Black New York" with obvious regional signs was replaced by "City of Chaos", and 20th Century Fox also began appropriate preliminary publicity and promotion work.

Murphy doesn't have to bother with this, and the professional team of 20th Century Fox is entirely responsible.

In addition, before the filming started, Murphy met with Hans Jimo and negotiated a series of matters about the soundtrack. This series is very suitable for Hans Jimo's soundtrack style.

This is not the first time the two sides have cooperated and communication is relatively smooth.

After Hans-Jimo, the preparations for the crew have basically come to an end. Some scenes that have not been built can be built while shooting. The two aspects of work do not conflict.

On September 30, 2010, the crew of "City of Chaos" officially started filming on the warehouse set outside Venice. The crew did not hold any announcements, and Murphy was preparing to start filming directly.
