Chapter 503 Batman comes out to catch criminals
After the gangsters ran away, the crew dared to come out one after another.
Seeing the Batmobile, which was smashed by guns and burning, and the model of Batman, everyone was frightened. Even though Chicago is known as the crime capital, everyone said they had never seen such a scene.
"Is anyone hurt? Is everything okay?" Little Gilbert asked.
"It's okay, director, everything is safe."
"It's just that the scene was so damaged that it probably wouldn't be possible to film the scene."
"Alas," little Gilbert sighed: "The setting team and art team are working hard, please help us, let's restore the scene in the next two days before shooting!
We’re done today. The crew is on holiday and will be back filming after Christmas. "
If something like this happens, everyone will probably have to go back and take a break for two days, so we might as well take a vacation first!
Little Gilbert said to Charles Rowan again: "If something like this happens, Chicago will give us an explanation. Charles, go and talk to them."
As an old man, Charles Rowan was frightened by this scene, and only then did he recover.
"Okay, it's not a problem to ask for some compensation. At least the Batmobile has to be compensated to us." Charles Rowan said looking at the Batmobile that had been extinguished.
Little Gilbert rubbed his chin and thought: "This incident can be used to advantage. Why do you think the robbers shot Batman and the Batmobile?"
"Because," Charles Rowan thought: "They were suddenly frightened by Batman, so they stopped shooting."
"That's right," little Gilbert clapped his hands and said, "Although we didn't hear clearly what they said, it doesn't stop me from making up a story. It would be better to add a video for a better effect."
"Who has the video?" Charles Rowan asked.
A photography assistant raised his hand and said, "I secretly recorded a little bit."
Little Gilbert nodded to Charles Rowan, and the assistant's footage became a promotional tool.
Charles Rowan also agreed with the crew that the robbers saw Batman panicking and delayed their escape before being caught by the police.
This is actually a fact, and this is what everyone sees.
After unifying their opinions, the crew announced a holiday and quickly took a rest to soothe their injured hearts.
And this bank robbery, known as the Chicago Robbery, actually didn't attract much attention, because situations like this happen often. So much so that after seeing it so much, people in North America are no longer surprised.
But because of its relationship with the much-anticipated "Beginners" crew, it immediately became a major case that shocked the United States.
Although all five robbers were captured, the details were like a Hollywood blockbuster, and the twist at the end was amazing, so it attracted the attention of the United States.
The morning after the bank robbery, the Chicago Sun-Times headlined the story. Other outlets quickly followed, including the morning news on local Chicago television stations.
CNN, CBS, ABC and other major North American television stations have conducted special reports on this incident and interviewed relevant parties.
As everyone knows, the five robbers were eventually caught on a highway in Chicago's South Side suburbs.
But according to police information, the police failed to track the location of the robbers for more than ten minutes before they were captured.
Because Nancheng is a complex area and gangs are rampant, the police control here is not strict.
But later, the crew of "Beginners" provided information about the robbers, which enabled the police to finally obtain the location of the robbers and trace their location again.
Therefore, the public is curious about what conflict happened between these five gangsters and the crew of "Beginners"?
Is anyone injured? Is there anything wrong with Director Gilbert Jr.?
But what is very strange is that on the second day of this incident, no one from the crew came forward to respond to the incident and remained silent.
Such strange silence has intensified all kinds of wild speculations from the outside world.
Some people say that the crew was attacked by five gangsters, causing heavy casualties. Others say that little Gilbert was shot several times and has been admitted to a hospital in Chicago.
What is even more coincidental is that a reporter visited the intensive care unit of a well-known hospital in Chicago and was not allowed to enter. So the reporter suspected that a big shot was dying, and that person was little Gilbert.
Looking at these reports, little Gilbert, who has returned to Los Angeles, almost laughed like a pig.
The same goes for online comments. Most fans and viewers are worried and praying for the crew. A few people pretend to be different, or simply dislike someone, hoping that something will happen to the crew.
There is also the kind of person who doesn't think the matter is too big when watching the excitement, but hopes that the matter will be as big as possible.
"You really haven't shown up before?" In the Melon Manor, after learning that little Gilbert was back, Doug Walter hurried to visit.
Seeing with his own eyes that little Gilbert was fine, Doug Walter felt relieved.
He had previously known about the Chicago robbery and had a conflict with the crew, and suddenly felt like the world was shattering. If something happens to little Gilbert, where will Warner Pictures go?
Fortunately, not only little Gilbert himself was fine, but no one on the crew was injured, not counting the sprained foot.
Little Gilbert drank tea and looked at the distant coast and said: "The effect of showing up at this time is not good. I will wait until the public sentiment is at its highest point before showing up.
Doug, please make arrangements and let reporters interview you when the time comes. Doug Walter immediately understood: "Is this for movie promotion?" "
"Of course," Little Gilbert nodded and said, "Although it was an accident, it is also an opportunity. We can use this bank robbery to publicize it."
Doug Walter also found out what happened and watched the video.
Although it is a bit hard to believe that it was Batman and the Batmobile that blocked the robbers' way, the video recorded it all, and the crew members all agreed.
Since there is such an unexpected opportunity, Doug Walter will not miss such a God-given opportunity and will definitely use this opportunity to promote it.
When returning from Chicago, the safety of Gilbert Jr. was the focus of many people's attention.
Little Gilbert first called Naomi Watts and others to tell them that he was okay.
Then he answered calls from acquaintances. Tom Cruise, DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Sandra Bullock, Elijah Wood and others all called Gilbert immediately. The call came.
After learning that little Gilbert was fine, these people felt relieved and then comforted little Gilbert.
Others responded with the greatest malice, speculating whether little Gilbert was dead. But the latest result came that little Gilbert was fine, which made these people feel very uncomfortable.
Although I don’t understand why Little Gilbert did not immediately come forward and tell the public that he was fine, it did not prevent the anti-Gilbert media from starting to spread rumors that Little Gilbert died in the Chicago robbery.
In this way, the incident fermented for several days, and the Chicago police finally issued an investigation report and held a press conference.
At a press conference, the police detailed how the robbers committed the crime. Including checkpoints, weapon production, escape routes, etc.
"Here, we would like to express our special thanks to the crew of "Beginners" because their help allowed us to finally capture these gangsters."
A reporter immediately asked: "Is Director Gilbert Jr. injured? Where is he now?"
"I'm sorry, this involves personal privacy, I can't disclose it." The Chicago police prevaricated, but this caused even greater speculation.
Many people are increasingly leaning towards the fact that something really happened to the crew, and something happened to little Gilbert, otherwise he wouldn't have not shown up for so long.
Just when the outside world was talking about it, the ABC TV special program received a videotape, which showed five gangsters shooting at Batman models and tanks.
So that night, the television special program aired the video, which instantly spread across the United States. The ratings of the special program became the highest among any program at the same time of the day.
Only those who watched this video realized that the reason why the robber was delayed that day was because he met ‘Batman’.
This magical scene instantly felt like the dimensional wall was opening and Batman came into the real world.
Although both 'Batman' and the Batmobile were shot to pieces by robbers, they didn't look like the comics at all. But this does not prevent Batman from catching criminals in reality, albeit indirectly.
In an instant, this video once again aroused the public's expectations for superheroes, especially Batman.
This kind of thing is rare and rare.
The discussion on the Internet is even more lively. For fans who love fantasy, there is nothing more exciting than Batman appearing in the real world to catch criminals.
"It turns out that Batman really came to the real world."
"Can he actually help catch criminals? This Batman is not simple. I'm already looking forward to it."
"Originally, even if Little Gilbert directed it, I didn't plan to go to the cinema to watch this movie, but now I have to."
"It's really amazing. Listen carefully to the video. The group of robbers are all calling Batman. It seems they all take it seriously."
"I don't care about anything else. I just want to know if little Gilbert is okay."
The day after the video was released, Cameron Diaz, a producer on "Beginners," came forward for an interview.
"I was not at the scene when the incident occurred, but I have seen little Gilbert. He is fine. Thank you for your concern."
Everyone knows the relationship between Cameron Diaz and Little Gilbert, and her words can reassure movie fans. Afterwards, Cameron Diaz described the incident in detail, giving the public a general understanding of the incident.
Then one after another relevant crew insiders came forward and revealed relevant details to the media.
So the Chicago Heist turned into Batman helping the police capture five fierce gangsters in Chicago. This suddenly attracted the attention of the United States to the movie "Beginner".
The leading actor Christian Bale, who was present on the day of the incident, also stood up and said that he witnessed the entire incident and that the robbers were indeed frightened by Batman.
Afterwards, criminal psychology experts came out to analyze.
This is because the robbers were highly nervous and suddenly encountered Batman, who fights criminals in comics and movies, and subconsciously took it seriously.
But no matter what the robbers thought, this robbery allowed "Beginner" to get out of the embarrassing situation caused by the previous seven-year hiatus.
Now, everyone is waiting for little Gilbert to appear and see what he thinks about this matter.
