Tricky

After reading the information sent back by his reporters, Eddie frowned and looked unhappy.

  The investigation was more difficult than he had imagined.

  The Life Foundation originally only recruited homeless people on the streets of San Francisco and tricked them into signing agreements that they could not understand to promote human drug experiments.

  Now, Eddie learned from the information sent back by his family that the Life Foundation had joined forces with the government to form a San Francisco Homeless Association.

  The association was fully funded by the Life Foundation, and Carlton Drake served as the honorary president. They

  built a huge "cage" for the homeless in the most remote corner of San Francisco where no one wanted to go.

  A gathering place for homeless people called "Homeless Home" .

  Under the leadership of the Life Foundation, the Homeless Home strictly controls the entry and exit and actions of homeless people. The homeless

  people driven here by the San Francisco City Government have restricted entry and exit and lose their freedom of movement, which is equivalent to "going to jail" to some extent.

  It is difficult for the reporter sent by the Daily Bugle to investigate in San Francisco to sneak in under the supervision of the Homeless Association, let alone further investigate intelligence.

  After a few days, there were only a few pieces of useful information.

  Even if these few pieces of useful information were released, it would not be able to shake the foundation of the Life Foundation.

  The attack was not painful and had no killing power.

  In the absence of direct evidence, it was impossible to deal a heavy blow to the Life Foundation. Even if the Daily Bugle exposed the actions of the Life Foundation, it would be useless. Instead, it would damage the credibility that the Daily Bugle had accumulated over the years.

  "Carlton Drake..."

  Eddie gritted his teeth: "What a cunning opponent."

  Not long after the homeless shelter was implemented in San Francisco, 90% of the homeless in San Francisco were forcibly driven to the homeless shelter by the San Francisco Municipal Government. The

  remaining 10% either left San Francisco or were always vigilant and avoided the patrolling police on the roadside.

  Today, there are almost no traces of homeless people on the streets of San Francisco.

  The urban environment has been purified as never before.

  The San Francisco Municipal Government and the Life Foundation have been well received by the citizens.

  Senior officials of the municipal government took this opportunity to obtain a large amount of political donations from the Life Foundation.

  The Life Foundation also has a large amount of resources for human experiments.

  Since the Homeless Association is under the jurisdiction of the Life Foundation, no one has interfered.

  Killing several birds with one stone, the operation was perfect.

  "Editor-in-chief, the investigation has hit a bottleneck and we don't know where to start."

  A young voice sounded on the other side of the phone Eddie answered.

  He said distressedly: "The Life Foundation's gang patrols every hour, and the streets of the homeless shelter are full of cameras. Even if we are willing to take the risk to sneak in, we can't get in."

  After a pause, the young voice said: "There is only one way now. We can bring micro cameras and pretend to be homeless people to sneak in. As long as we can capture the Life Foundation signing an agreement with the homeless, or even use the homeless for human experiments, the Life Foundation will have no way to deny it."

  "No, it's too dangerous!"

  Eddie rejected this suggestion and pondered: "We can try another direction. Since there is no flaw from the outside, let's start from their inside."

  "Inside?"

  The young voice suddenly realized: "Good idea, let's act immediately."

  Eddie hurriedly reminded: "Wait, Phil, don't rush, so as not to alert the enemy."

  "Understood."

  Phil Yurick nodded and vowed: "Editor-in-chief, we won't let you down."

  On the other side.

  Anton started filming the movie.

  It was not smooth at first. The running-in of the actors, props, lighting, and group performances made him feel very anxious.

  Fortunately, he had foresight and invited more than a dozen professional assistant directors.

  The crew gradually got on the right track.

  After seeing the talents of his assistant directors, Anton simply delegated power to shoot on two lines.

  He was responsible for shooting the male protagonist's plot, leaving two assistant directors to help him dispatch the crew and the camera, while the film's corners and supporting roles were all handed over to the remaining reliable assistant directors.

  Everything was done to complete the movie as soon as possible.

  The filming of a movie is a very trivial and complicated process.

  Anton looked at the time schedule.

  The experienced Jim planned to complete the shooting plan in 120 days, the post-production special effects plan was completed within 90 days and the publicity was promoted simultaneously, and then 15 days were spent on editing and finally released.

  The whole cycle was about 200 days.

  For a special effects blockbuster, this is already a very short time.

  But Anton was not satisfied.

  According to this cycle, he had to wait at least half a year to exchange for the basic template of Batman.

  It was too painful!

  Therefore, without affecting the quality of the film, Anton worked as hard as possible to catch up with the schedule.

  After all, Anton's mind was full of the film, and there were some redundant and useless shots that were not necessary to shoot at all.

  What is keeping one or two? For Anton, it is a waste of life.

  He plans to get everything done within three months.

  Jim noticed something was wrong and thought Anton was messing around. Unable to bear it any longer, he had a big fight with him.

  But Anton insisted on doing so, and Jim had no choice.

  As an investor and director, the former has such a say.

  Therefore, Jim turned a blind eye and basically gave up control of the crew and let Anton do what he wanted.

  Under such circumstances, Anton only took one month to complete nearly half of the progress.

  At Anton's strong request, the special effects department also joined the group in advance and operated simultaneously.

  The possibility of being released within three months is infinitely expanded.

  Seeing this, almost no one in the crew had confidence in the results of the film, including the assistant director and the male and female protagonists.

  In their opinion, Anton was completely an unprofessional rich second generation.

  The clumsiness when he first started shooting was still vivid in his mind.

  Although he now looks more skilled than a newcomer, his actions are still not reassuring.

  Some role players even regretted participating in the film.

  Anton ignored the rumors in the crew. Anyway, these people only dared to complain privately. No one dared to say these words in front of him, the director who controlled the most power in the crew.

  Even the heroine who played "Rachel", who was closest to him, only dared to cry at night every day.

  "Today's shooting is over, and we will gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow."

  Anton announced.

  Then, he rejected the heroine's request to "discuss the script" and returned to the room with his old waist sore from "sitting for a long time".

  He had a missed call on his mobile phone, which belonged to the screenwriter Browning.

  So he called him.

  "Anton, the novel of "Batman Begins" has been completed." Browning answered the channel, "The manuscript has been sent to your email, please check it. If you need to modify it, please contact me at any time." "

  Okay, thank you for your hard work."

  After hanging up, Anton opened his email and quickly read the original text, which was not long. He was very satisfied after reading it.

  Browning is worthy of being a gold medal screenwriter who makes a living with words.

  Then, he called Eddie.

  Eddie answered in seconds.

  "Anton, what do you want me to do?"

  Eddie's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "I sent a novel to your email. Remember, find a section in the Daily Bugle as quickly as possible to publish it, and serialize it in a 60-day cycle."

  Anton said in an imperative tone: "This is related to my movie promotion, and I must do my best."

  "Don't worry."

  Eddie gave him a positive answer: "It's not difficult."

  "Very good."

  Anton changed the subject and asked: "Your voice sounds wrong. Tell me, how many days have you not slept? As far as I know, the workload of the Daily Bugle should not make you like this. Are you in trouble in San Francisco?"
