He, Zhang Yang, is also someone who can fly a plane.

Zhang Yang looked at this thing and appreciated it: "This certificate looks much more impressive than a car driver's license."

"That's for sure, Director Zhang. The helicopter pilot's license is reviewed every two years, but you have to undergo a physical examination every year..." Zhang Yang's coach gave him a few more words of care.

Zhang Yang nodded as he listened. It was all a trivial matter. After chatting with them, he and Liu Yifei went home together.

He has to fly to the United States today so that the filming of "Oppenheimer" can proceed. Otherwise, he may not be able to participate in the 19 Oscars.

After the family had lunch, Liu Yifei helped Zhang Yang pack his luggage in the bedroom and handed the suitcase to him.
Zhang Yang took the suitcase and looked at her: "I'm leaving without giving a parting gift."

"I've been visiting you for just ten days and asked for gifts." Liu Yifei said to Zhang Yang speechlessly.

As she said that, she stepped forward and gave him a hug. Zhang Yang let go of the hand holding the suitcase and put his arms around Liu Yifei's waist.
After a while, he leaned back, looked down at Liu Yifei, pecked her forehead gently, then took the suitcase and set off.

By the time he arrived in the United States, it was already noon on the 15th local time. This time he did not go to Los Angeles, but went directly to New Mexico.
The main filming location of "Oppenheimer" is the town Zhang Yang asked Paramount to build near Los Alamos. He will live here directly during the filming of the movie.

As soon as he arrived and settled down, he told his assistant that the studio production team should gather together and they should have a good communication about the filming issues of the movie.

Just then, Jim also called.

Zhang Yang didn't think much when he saw Jim's call. After the two were polite, he took the initiative and said: "Jim, I think the filming of "Oppenheimer" can start."

"Okay, I'll go over right away and celebrate before starting in New Mexico." Jim said happily.

He wished Zhang Yang would not come to Hollywood. Everyone in Zhang Yang's Hollywood wanted to contact him, especially Warner and Disney, which he had worked with. They were all serious enemies of Paramount.

Just yesterday, the huge deal between Disney and Fox was officially announced.

They successfully acquired shares of 21st Century Fox, 20th Century Fox Pictures, Nat Geo, Star TV, Sky and Hulu, as well as regional sports networks, with a total transaction value of more than $520 billion.

In addition to traditional movies, its purpose is also clear, to vigorously expand streaming services and compete with Netflix.

Disney has taken advantage of this to become famous all over the world. It seems reasonable for Disney to take the opportunity to contact Zhang Yang. After all, Zhang Yang has been working with them for the longest time.

It's easier to understand why Warner wants to contact Zhang Yang. Their company's "Justice League" was released globally in the middle of last month and was a huge hit!
It has only been in theaters for one month, with a global box office of almost US$7 million. Is it okay? But it's "Justice League", the finale of Warner's first wave of superhero movies! How can it end with this bad result?

It is to compete with "Avengers". The global box office of "Avengers 2" was nearly 14 billion US dollars, which is fully double that, and it is not even a benchmark.

Not to mention that its total production cost is nearly US$3 million. Judging from the movie box office alone, it is not profitable.

The more miserable Warner becomes, the stronger his desire for Zhang Yang becomes.

"OK, I look forward to your arrival."

Zhang Yang hung up the phone after saying that. He didn't know Jim's little thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Soon, he was communicating with his production team on related issues.

"Boss, we must use special photography methods to capture the physical microscopic world?" The person on the photography team said, still a little unsure.

"To be precise, it's the microcosm of Oppenheimer's mind."

"Why don't we just use special effects?" He couldn't understand. After all, Zhang Yang was not a real-shooting fanatic.

"It's interesting to shoot like this. Don't you think it's fun?" Zhang Yang has exercised a lot of restraint. At least he doesn't stick to film shooting like Nolan, which saves a lot of effort.

Well, because of Zhang Yang’s fun, their filming team had to sacrifice a lot of brain cells.

But during this time, they were like a science team, studying some gadgets, which was really interesting.

"How is your research going?" Zhang Yang asked them.

"We have researched something. Boss, please come with us and take a look." Although the people in the photography team complained a little about this, they felt a sense of accomplishment after actually doing it.

"Okay." Zhang Yang quickly walked into a house with them.

There are all kinds of machines inside, which is quite interesting to look at.

"Boss, look, this is a small magnet ball that moves irregularly, so you can make...

This is an ironwork-like device...

These are several high-speed rotating light source points. Let’s lower the shutter speed and directly take real shots to complete the special effects...

We use a probe macro lens to capture these moving moments, and then you, the boss, can screen them with the eyes. "The people in the photography team became excited as they talked, it was like magic.

"I see you are quite interested. Why were you complaining to me just now?" Zhang Yang said angrily as he looked at them.

"You must find it interesting when you see these interesting pictures. When we think about it, everyone is going crazy." An employee boldly complained to Zhang Yang.

"Yes, this is really not something humans do..."

"Yes, what we were thinking at the time..."

"Okay, okay, you have worked hard. I will give you big red envelopes when I go back." Zhang Yang comforted them. When the people in the production department heard Zhang Yang's promise, they all laughed. Children who cry will get milk. This old saying is indeed true.

Zhang Yang looked at this group of subordinates. Sure enough, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world, but there is a lack of platforms for them to perform. No wonder Liu Bang was able to build the framework of a team with just one county's talents.

"The president of Paramount is coming over tonight. You guys come with me to kill him." Zhang Yang got excited and said loudly to the team.

"Kill him, kill him." The people in the photography team immediately booed when Zhang Yang reminded him.

It takes more than an hour to fly from Hollywood to New Mexico. Not only did people from Paramount arrive that afternoon, but the five leading actors also came over.

It was the first time for Xiao Lizi and the others to meet this small town after Paramount was built, so when they arrived at the place, after Zhang Yang chatted with them, a group of people looked around curiously.

Jim was a little proud to see such a scene. He whispered to his employees, and then waved to Zhang Yang and Scarlett: "Everyone, I will ask the company's employees to introduce the place to you. After all, you have to live here. About a month.”

"Thank you." Depp and others thanked him one after another.

Soon a group of people, led by Paramount employees, visited the town.

The latitude of Los Alamos is almost the same as the blue state of our country. It is the blue state of blue state ramen.

But because it is surrounded by the James Mountain forest, it has a lot of annual precipitation, fresh air, warm winters and cool summers, and plenty of sunshine. It is a good place to retire.
But in fact, not many people actually come to settle here. After all, there is such a dangerous laboratory here. If there is a real accident, it will scare people to death.

After everyone's visit, it was time for dinner. At the end of the celebration banquet, Zhang Yang raised his glass to the five leading actors and said with a smile: "Everyone, you have already watched "Oppenheimer"!"

"YES, director, but the strangest thing right now is that you haven't given us any script yet." Matt Damon shrugged at Zhang Yangyi and said helplessly.

His words made all five of them laugh.

"You don't need to know the script. After all, you can guess the story of this movie after reading the biography. I will give you the content to be shot the day before the shooting." Zhang Yang said confidently.

"Depp and Larson are in this town. You have no role to play, so you can leave first."

After hearing his words, the two of them were about to express their opinions. Zhang Yang raised his hand and interrupted them: "Christmas will be here in a while. This is your most important holiday in the United States. Since you are free, you should go and spend time with your family!"

It would be fine if they had to stay during normal times, but there is really no need to keep them at Christmas.

"Thank you." Both of them raised their glasses to Zhang Yang.

"Our Paramount team can also retreat from here, and everything else will be left to you." Jim also raised his glass and said to Zhang Yang easily.

"Of course, but you still have to help me fulfill a small request." Zhang Yang stretched out his thumb and index finger and made a gesture.

"please say."

"Can you apply for me to shoot two scenes in the white house?"

"What?" A group of people looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. They had never dealt with that man.

Jim looked at Zhang Yang speechlessly. First he asked them to put a mushroom, and now he wants to use a white house. Is it so crazy?
"Your request is not small at all." Jim said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Well, if we can't achieve it, then we can only trouble your team to build that man's office here one by one!" Zhang Yang retreated to the next best thing and stated his request.

This was a hard job, and he couldn't bear to have his own team do it.

"Okay, we will meet all your requirements, director." Jim is also convinced by the big director's thinking, but if he can make money, then it doesn't matter. Promise him, promise him everything!
The next day, the 16th, US time, the movie "Oppenheimer" started quietly.

The first scene is Leon's big scene, Mushroom greets the little life cordially, and the town wants to celebrate Oppenheimer.

"You have to be neat first, and then stomp your feet in a messy way... Is that clear?" An employee of the Ocean Studio team held a loudspeaker and explained in English to the group performers who came today.

A group of people nodded calmly.

"Okay, let's walk through it first."

The extras immediately performed as required. An extra performance with nearly 200 people was considered a big event, but they passed it three times and it seemed like they were decent.

"How's it going? Our American extras are pretty good, aren't they!" Behind Zhang Yang's director's chair, Scarlett leaned on the back of the chair with her arms, bent slightly and asked Zhang Yang with a smile.

She heard Zhang Yang let out a slight sigh after watching the group performers perform several times, and she immediately asked.

Zhang Yang really thought this in his heart. If he could train the extras for this scene in China, it would take two hours instead of half a day, but they could do it in less than an hour. This is the benefit of the guild.

"It's okay." Zhang Yang said calmly.

Scarlett looked at Zhang Yang's stern expression and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

At this moment, she deeply felt that Zhang Yang had not changed at all after so many years.
Maybe the reason she was separated from him in the first place was that she was not Chinese, or Zhang Yang was not American. She sighed when she thought of this.

Soon, the filming started. Xiao Lizi walked to the podium with a solemn expression amidst the sound of stomping feet.

He looked at the excited and ferocious crowd in the audience, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said: "The world will remember this day."
