Chapter 146 Returning Home and the Fun

The next day, Liu Zhou arrived at the set refreshed.

After venting the anger that had been pent up for more than a month, Liu Zhou felt a lot more relaxed.

The scenes filmed today are Anne Hathaway's last two scenes, and she will be done with the filming after they are finished.

Anne Hathaway came to the set a little later, probably because she slept well last night, and she looked even more radiant today.

Last night was indeed the most comfortable night of sleep she had ever had. When she woke up in the morning, except for a little tingling in her scalp, her whole body and mind felt very comfortable.

The two people on the set looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Although their relationship progressed, they tacitly did not show it on the set.

The two of them seemed to be fine and were still busy with their own things as usual.

But from time to time, the two would look at each other.

Sometimes when Liu Zhou saw Anne Hathaway's gentle, misty eyes, he thought that if she could be like this on the first day of filming, she might have finished it long ago.

But Liu Zhou is a director after all, and he is very busy with work, so he can't keep flirting with her with his eyes.

But what surprised him a little was that Anne Hathaway was in surprisingly good shape today.

I don’t know if it was because of the good guidance before, or because last night helped her open up her Ren and Du meridians, or both, but all of Anne Hathaway’s shots today were not retaken more than three times.

Which scene didn’t she shoot five or six times?

The other people in the crew thought that Anne Hathaway was about to finish filming, so her acting burst out. They were just a little surprised and didn't think much about it.

After all, this is a good thing for the crew. They can finish filming earlier and go home earlier.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Anne Hathaway finished her last shot and officially wrapped up the filming.

As the leading actress, the crew specially prepared a small party for her to congratulate her on the completion of the filming.

In the evening, although I no longer have to explain the scenes to Anne Hathaway, I can still continue to guide her in acting.

Tonight, Liu Zhou told her in detail how to play a female rider well and how to challenge various difficult moves.

The guidance only ended when I was exhausted.

The next day, Liu Zhou came to the crew still refreshed.

Anne Hathaway told him last night that she would leave the crew and return to New York today.

This made Liu Zhou feel a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have taken her down earlier.

However, Liu Zhou is not the kind of person who thinks about that all the time. Although Anne Hathaway has left, the filming still has to continue.

After two more days of filming, only the exterior scenes in the laboratory and the Chicago train station were left.

The laboratory is also a set, with a very high-tech feel, and the various electronic equipment are made relatively thin.

Electronic products will always be lighter, thinner and more advanced, almost always.

In order to save Chicago, the male protagonist was coaxed and deceived into carrying out the mission, and they even lied to him that he could come back after completing the mission.

But then, the actor gradually realized something was wrong.

The main highlight here is the rivalry between the boss Goodwin and the male protagonist.

She is the person who talks directly to the male protagonist. From her machine-cold expression at the beginning to watching him experience death again and again, she gradually becomes moved and cannot bear it.

The laboratory scenes took nearly a week to shoot, and the two most important scenes were left, which was also an important node.

Bell used his mobile phone to access the Internet in the virtual world, searched for his public identity, and called the unit where his public identity was located.

He found out that a month ago, when he was on a mission, he crashed into a large truck in order to avoid pedestrians crossing the road.

Later, when he returned to the virtual warehouse, he learned from his boss that he had died a month ago.

The male protagonist had to accept the reality, but he hoped to return to the virtual world for the last time to save the people on the train and the girl who had experienced life and death with him time and time again.

"Colt, the source code world does not exist. They are dead. We cannot change the past, we can only influence the future." Vera Farmiga advised.

Bell still insisted:

"I've missed her many times. I can save everyone on the train, including her. Let me go back one last time. There must be a second detonator, but I haven't found it yet."

"That world is just a computer program, and she is dead."

"But she didn't have to die, she could survive, I disappeared after eight minutes, but she could still be alive.

Besides, I shut down my device after eight minutes. Since I’m dead, I don’t want to live in my computer.”

Vera Fami's face was moved:

"If you stop the device, you won't be able to come back. You will be truly dead, without even a trace of consciousness."

"I know!"

……

"Okay, pass!" Liu Zhou shouted excitedly.

He was prepared to spend a whole day shooting this shot, but such an important shot was done in just one take.

After filming the laboratory scenes, "Source Code" only had a few exterior scenes and scenes on the train station platform left.

The next day, the crew moved to Chicago.

Tatum had already contacted the train station in Chicago, but there were only three days, and only three hours at noon each day for filming.

So in order to save time, we needed to finish the platform scene quickly. In fact, it was not difficult. The suspect was not feeling well, so Bell thought he was sneaking around and suspected him.

The suspect got off at the train station to take another train, and while he was waiting on the platform, Bell wanted to search his bag.

While the two men were wrestling with each other, the train in front of them exploded.

Bell was unwilling to believe that he had made a mistake in judgment and thought that the suspect had hidden the phone on his body, so he pinned him to the ground and searched him. As a result, he was kicked off the platform, his head hit the track, and he was killed by the oncoming train.

In fact, this has paved the way for the ending. The source code world can only last for 8 minutes, just until the bomb explodes.

But this time, the bomb exploded, and the male protagonist remained in the source code world until he was hit by a train and left the source code world.

After finishing the scenes on the platform, Liu Zhou led the crew to finish shooting other exterior scenes one after another.

On July 25th, Liu Zhou's first Hollywood film "Source Code" was officially completed.

In Hollywood, there is no such thing as a wrap party.

The completion of a film is just the end of a project for the crew members.

So Liu Zhou asked Tatum to return to Los Angeles with the film and equipment, while he flew to New York.

Anne Hathaway has been calling Liu Zhou for a long time.

Liu Zhou felt that he couldn't let a girl wait for a long time, so he rushed over without stopping after the filming.

In a high-end apartment in Brooklyn, Anne Hathaway, wearing a bathrobe, opened the door and saw her lover who looked exhausted.

Seeing the beautiful Anne Hathaway, Liu Zhou couldn't help but hug her in his arms and kissed her passionately.

Just when Liu Zhou wanted to go further, Anne Hathaway pushed him away and said with a bit of disgust:
"Go take a shower first, you stink."

Liu Zhou smelled his body and found it smelled a bit like sweat.

"Where is the bathroom?"

"there."

Liu Zhou immediately walked quickly in the direction of Anne Hathaway's finger and said:
"Then wait for me, it will be quick."

……

This apartment is where Anne Hathaway lives in New York. It was bought with the first money she earned.

The fact that Anne Hathaway brought Liu Zhou here shows that she has already accepted this man in her heart.

The two of them played in the house for three days and never went out.

Anne Hathaway didn't let him go until she saw Liu Zhou's legs trembling a little.

Liu Zhou also did not expect that Western women had such good physical fitness and recovered so quickly.

When it comes to a protracted war, a man may not necessarily be able to beat a woman.

In the following days, Anne Hathaway took Liu Zhou on a tour of the Big Apple.

As the world's largest city, New York has many places worth visiting, and I visited all of them this time.

After staying here for more than a week, Lionsgate Entertainment was urging him to leave, so Liu Zhou had to temporarily bid farewell to Anne Hathaway and return to Los Angeles.

In fact, as a director, he doesn’t have much to do after the movie is finished.

Although he invested in this film, he still failed to secure the final editing rights.

Hollywood production companies are very strict about this power. If you are not the top director, you can forget about having the final editing rights.

Lionsgate asked me to come here to settle the accounts of this movie, and they also needed him to give some suggestions in the later stage of the movie.

He stayed in Los Angeles for nearly half a month, and only left when he saw that the post-production of the film was on track.

Liu Zhou first returned to New York, stayed with Anne Hathaway for a few days, and then prepared to return home.

He has been absurd in the United States for long enough. Although the gentle countryside here is intoxicating, China is his root and the place that carries his career.

When the plane slowly landed at the Beijing airport, Liu Zhou suddenly felt more at ease. He felt that the air here was sweet, although it had a bit of a dusty smell.

When he arrived at the exit, Liu Zhou recognized the fully armed Zeng Li at first sight.

Liu Zhou was also wearing a mask and sunglasses. He walked up, took Zeng Li's hand and walked towards the parking lot.

As soon as they got in the car, Zeng Li rushed over and kissed them for a long time before separating.

At this time, Liu Zhou secretly said that it was a close call. Fortunately, he had self-knowledge and had been conserving his energy for two days before leaving the United States.

Otherwise, when I return to China and Zeng Li feels that the amount is not enough, I will be dead.

Seeing Zeng Li like this now, there will definitely be a fierce battle when she returns.

But what surprised Liu Zhou a little at the time was that Anne Hathaway became much gentler towards Liu Zhou when she saw that he was willing to accompany her quietly instead of thinking about that matter all the time.

In her opinion, Liu Zhou was with her out of affection, not just because he was obsessed with her body.

Although Liu Zhou didn't know why she had such a train of thought, he secretly groaned in his heart.

He didn't expect that Anne Hathaway would be moved.

But now that he has returned to China, Liu Zhou has put these thoughts aside.

During the few months that Liu Zhou was in Hollywood, the mainland entertainment industry was also very lively.
