Chapter 360 Traces of the Devil (Earth)

While Douglas was looking around for a filming location.

Truman had some conversations with Sherlock's Volleyball and Watson's Martin Freeman.

Ting Jun likes Juan Fu very much. She doesn't like "Doctor Strange" very much, but she likes "Sherlock" very much.

Now, Juan Fu, whose film salary is 100 million, is speaking with Truman, who is paid 75 yuan, and Martin Freeman, who is paid 10 yuan. Martin Freeman met at the Venice Film Festival, both for the first time.

"I like "Shang Qi 2" very much." Juan Fu said to Truman, "A film that truly serves the audience, it does not export any values, it is what the audience likes."

Yes.This is what North American and European film critics have to say about Shang-Chi 2.

"Shang Qi 2" is popular all over the world. Not only has it gained a lot in the Chinese mainland market, it has become the revenue benchmark of Hollywood movies after Avengers. It is also the most popular single-hero movie. It also performed well in the North American and European markets. It ranks behind all the masterpieces with an investment of tens of millions and billions, but its investment is only 1.8 million.

This movie is here, why it is popular, and the reasons have been summed up. The most convincing comments so far are "It doesn't output any opinions, but it makes people watch comfortably", "This commercial movie is very well made. 'Forbearance', which entertains the audience without 'talking'".

Previous Hollywood commercial films have output too many opinions. The special effects of "Shang Qi 2" are not unrivaled, the plot is not perfect, and the ending with a slightly surprising feeling is reversed. From the perspective of film history, it has been recognized by many classics. The movie is rotten. Under such circumstances, it can earn this kind of box office. It can only be said that it has found the appetite of the audience.

The audience just wants to have fun watching a movie, not to be instilled with the impassioned "I should save my family/lover/world tomorrow".

Juan Fu and Truman boasted about each other's business.

"CH, why don't you like ancient castles?" Juan Fu asked Truman.

This has already become news in the crew. Douglas had to find another shooting location because Truman didn't like the castle. Now Douglas is considering terminating the contract with Truman, but that will bring more delays.

Truman explained the relationship between dark spaces and windowless walls and prisoners in ancient China.

"Oh~" Juan Fu understood, "It's about 'Feng Shui'~"

"You still know 'Feng Shui'~"

Truman and Juan Fu chatted happily, and the next day they began to study the adverse effects of the fish tank placed by the crew on the crew.

When Dowcras returned to the BBC's filming base from the suburbs of London, he found that his fish had disappeared. The director liked his tropical fish very much and took them with him wherever he went.

"Where's my fish?" the director asked the crew.

"CH and BEN put it on top." A crew member said.

"Above? What above?" The director felt baffled, but following the direction of the staff's finger, he saw his fish tank on a beam above the studio.

This thing weighs 400 pounds with water, how did it get up... the director was stunned.

"Director, please listen to my explanation. The water is above and the fish are in it. This is auspicious." Juan Fu told the director.

"Who told you that!" the director held back his anger and asked.

"CH." Juan Fu pointed to Truman.

"Dug (Douglas), let me do some research. The reason why our crew has not entered the shooting process for so long is because this fish tank has affected our feng shui. As long as we put it on it, it will be auspicious immediately." Truman explain.

"Why have we been unable to enter the shooting process...don't you know?" Douglas glared at Truman, it's not because you picked the costumes, the style, the plot, and the shooting location. We've already shot half of the book, okay? ?

"Because of this tank of fish." Truman said firmly, "Look, as soon as the fish tank was moved up, you found a suitable shooting scene. I saw those photos and they were great."

Douglas looked at Truman's innocent expression and took three deep breaths.

Afterwards, Douglas found an aerial ladder and four 180-pound loaders to remove his fish tank.

Looking at this scene, Truman shook his head and sighed.

"Is 'feng shui' bad again?" Juan Fu asked Truman.

"Yes. I have seen the dark clouds of fate gather in the dark sky." Truman said.

"That's the heavy rain that the weather forecast said." Juan Fu also looked at the sky.

The heavy rain came suddenly.

Although London is a sea city, its climate has always been good. It is difficult for the monsoon from the Indian Ocean to form a typhoon here, but the sudden torrential rain and strong wind raged for a whole week.

During this week, everyone can only shoot the interior scenes in the BBC studio. Although the progress is not bad, if the exterior scenes cannot be filmed, the time will still be lost.

About this storm.

Truman said very firmly: "It's all because of the director's fish tank."

Juan Fu saw with his own eyes that typhoons and heavy rains came as soon as the fish tank was taken down, so he also supported Truman, "It's all because of the director's fish tank."

Soon everyone in the crew was rumoring, "It's all because of the director's fish tank."

When this rumor reached Douglas’s ears, he just felt dumbfounded. If he was Chinese, he would definitely call out “feudal superstition”, but the feudal superstition in Britain is no worse than that in China. Lonely, barren women were burned as witches.

So under the word of mouth, Douglas had to find the ladder and four 180-pound stevedores one evening, and put his beloved tropical fish tank and tropical fish on the beam again.

At that time, all the staff of "Sherlock" watched this scene and applauded Douglas to encourage Douglas to be so willing to listen to everyone's opinions.

Douglas was a little embarrassed by the applause, he snorted, "If the wind and rain don't stop..."

Before he finished speaking, the pouring rain outside the studio lightened up, and a few minutes later, a rainbow appeared in the western sky, spanning the city of London after the rain.

This is too... amazing!Everyone in the crew focused on Truman.

Truman looked at the fish tank on the beam above his head with a very focused expression.

"What are you looking at?" Ting Jun asked him.

"A little girl," said Truman, "my bad luck."

ah?Ting Jun looked there, but there was nothing, only the fish tank above the beam, and the fish in the tank were swimming quickly in the tank, as if someone was disturbing them with splashes of water.
