Chapter 498 Batman Snow Mountain Temple
"Put everything away, press it down with rocks, don't let the wind blow it away, be careful..."

There was chaos on the hillside not far from the ice field. The crew was filming when suddenly a strong wind began to blow violently.

The strong wind mixed with rain and snow caused the crew to be thrown to the ground, making filming impossible.

The weather was fine when the photo was taken in the morning, and Gilbert asked the local weather consultant, who said the weather was fine and there would be no problem with the photo shoot.

As a result, a strong wind started to blow in the afternoon. The first gust of wind directly blew away little Gilbert's director's tent, and no one knew where it was blown away.

Looking at little Gilbert's questioning eyes, the meteorological consultant touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect it to be like this.

Gilbert was speechless. The guide said the ice sheet would not break, but it broke after the photo was taken. The weather consultant said the weather was fine, but a strong wind blew.

The props on the set were flying everywhere, and it was easy to have an accident if they went back because of the strong crosswind and bad road conditions. Gilbert Jr. ordered the crew to find a sheltered place first.

People can hide, but there is no time to move or secure props, and some light props are blown everywhere by the wind.

One staff member was unlucky and a flying prop hit him on the head with a bang.

The staff member screamed and fell down immediately, and the blood from his head was blown everywhere by the wind.

Little Gilbert, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and seemed to smell the blood in the air. The scene looked very scary.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and save them!" Little Gilbert shouted.

Several crew members risked their lives to rush over and carry the poor worker back. The crew's doctor quickly checked and bandaged him.

Cameron Diaz went to take a look, and then came back and said to Gilbert Jr., "It shouldn't be a big deal, but he'll probably have to rest for a while."

Gilbert was speechless. Injury was the last thing the crew wanted to see. Fortunately, it wasn't the lead actor who got hurt, otherwise it would have been even more difficult.

"I remember a magazine saying Iceland is the most livable place. If it were livable, I would rather move to the Himalayas," Charles Rowan complained.

"That's not true. The city is actually quite good. At least the hot springs are very comfortable." Little Gilbert said something fair.

He then ordered, "Let's see if the wind dies down and then we can go back quickly to avoid any more accidents. Also, finish the scenes here as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome when winter comes."

Charles Rowan agreed: "That's right. It would be even worse if there was a snowstorm."

Cameron Diaz looked at the thermometer and said, "It's minus ten degrees Celsius now, and with the wind, the perceived temperature will probably drop by about ten degrees."

"Hou Lixie, it's only October and it's hot in Los Angeles." Charles Rowan had never been to Iceland before, and the weather was a little unbearable for him.

However, while working on the crew, especially working with Gilbert Jr., Charles Roven did have this awareness.

"Charles, you're getting old, you need to wear more clothes." Little Gilbert laughed and asked the assistant director to gather the crew together.

The crew's trailer was running to prevent it from being unable to start due to the cold weather.

Several field staff used a generator trailer to connect a few wires and installed an electric heater, which could be used to make coffee, roast a fire, etc., which solved the urgent problem.

As they roasted the fire, little Gilbert smacked his lips and said, "It would be nice if we had some bread to bake at this time."

"Don't worry about the cakes, I didn't bring any, but we have bread." Cameron Diaz distributed the bread and told the staff, "Distribute the food and drinks to everyone, just bear with it for now.

By the way, if anyone needs it, there are blankets in trailer number five, take them out to keep everyone warm."

The staff nodded and went to notify each staff member in the strong wind.

Little Gilbert took the bread and took a big bite as if to vent his anger: "A grilled fish would be fine too!"

"There's grilled fish," Cameron Diaz pointed to the ice field in the distance and said, "It's right there, go catch some!"

"Yes, remember, I want a big one," Charles Rowan echoed.

"Why don't you two go on your own?"

"Because it's windy outside, it's too dangerous." The two men said with confidence.

When you are bored, telling a joke can help relieve loneliness. Work is work, but you can't always talk about work in your life.
On the other side, several actors in the monastery scene were also eating bread and chatting, and the topic was about little Gilbert.

Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, and Kung Fu Emperor Jet Lee all worked with the famous director Gilbert Jr. for the first time, and it was a rare experience for them all.

There are some details about Jet Li's participation in this movie, which is a bit tortuous.

At the beginning, according to the script, the ideas of ninjutsu and Shadow Warrior League came from the island country, and the role of Ninja Master Lars al Ghul should be played by an islander.

In fact, Henri Ducard is the real Lars al Ghul, and this fake one is just a stand-in.

But before filming began, Gilbert Jr. had an idea. Ninjutsu was nothing compared to Chinese Kung Fu. If possible, he would even arrange for Jackie Chan or Jet Li to make a cameo appearance.

But this idea was opposed by Warner and DC. Ninjutsu and Shadow Warrior League already existed in the comics, and it would seem inappropriate if they were changed to Chinese martial arts.

Little Gilbert still convinced them, mainly by making the setting based on the rationality of the plot.

If you want ninjutsu, you should go to Tokyo, Mount Fuji. It would be weird for Bruce Wayne to be in a Chinese prison and then go to the Himalayas to learn ninjutsu from an island country.

Although European and American audiences don't care about these details, Gilbert Jr. found them very strange, so these changes were made and Jet Li was invited to make an appearance.

Anyway, in the comics, Bruce Wayne is not only proficient in ninjutsu, but also other fighting skills, so it's not surprising that he knows a little Chinese martial arts.

This is what the actors were discussing. Christian Bale has read the original comic and was worried whether he would lose fans of the comic by adapting it this way.

Liam Neeson doesn't think so: "I think partial adaptation is not a big problem, as long as the core spirit of Batman is not lost."

Jet Li doesn't have many scenes and is not much better than a supporting role.

He is not as successful as Cheng Long in Hollywood, and this collaboration with Gilbert Jr. is an opportunity, so he is very attentive. His performance in several scenes is remarkable.

The two leading actors were talking, and he rarely interrupted, just listening quietly.

Finally, the strong wind stopped, and Gilbert called it a day and hurried back to the hotel to rest. He would see what the weather would be like tomorrow and then come back to shoot again.

The next day, the weather was clear and the sun, which had not been seen for a few days, came out again, so the crew was able to continue working.

This scene is about the dialogue between Bruce Wayne and Henri Ducard about fear, anger and determination, and it all depends on the performance of the two actors.

The bonfire prepared in advance by the prop team was lit, and Christian Bale and Liam Neeson were ready and sat in front of the bonfire.

This is actually a night scene, so the lighting team needed to block the sunlight and provide some artificial light.

Young Gilbert stood behind the main camera and when he saw that the picture met his requirements, he officially started shooting the scene.

"Rub your chest hard, your hands can help you keep warm." Henry Ducard added dry wood to the fire and said to Bruce Wayne who was curled up in a ball: "You are stronger than your father."

Bruce Wayne raised his head and looked at the other person, "You don't know my father."

"But I understand the anger in your heart!"

This is exactly Bruce Wayne's psychological state after his parents were brutally murdered.

"Your anger allows you to temporarily forget the pain, until you can no longer bear the thought of your loved ones, and one day you will wish they didn't exist so that your pain would disappear."

Bruce Wayne showed a slightly puzzled look, and Henry Ducard said calmly, "I didn't always live in the mountains. I had a wife, the love of my life, and she was brutally murdered.

Like you, I have learned not to indulge bad people and to show no mercy to them. Anger gives you great power. If you can't learn to control it, it will destroy you. Anger almost destroyed my life."

"How do you calm down?" Bruce Wayne asked.

"revenge!"

“That didn’t work for me.”

"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Bruce?"

These two sentences show the ideological differences between Bruce Winn and Henry Ducard or the Shadow Warrior League, and they will inevitably part ways in the end.

"Stop," Gilbert Jr. called a halt to the filming and walked over to talk to the two actors. He first told Liam Neeson, "Henri Ducard, your expression is a bit too much."

"You are a firm believer in the beliefs of the Shadow Warrior Alliance. You firmly believe that evil must be eliminated and a new order must be established on the ruins. You have no doubt about this."

Then Gilbert Jr. said to Christian Bale: "Bruce, do you know what your acting skills are called? They are called wooden acting skills."

Liam Neeson couldn't help laughing when he heard this new term. Seeing Gilbert Jr. and Christian Bale looking at him at the same time, he apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, you guys continue."

Gilbert Jr. continued, "Bruce Wayne, remember, you don't have superpowers, you only have money. You are a man who has stepped down from the altar. You have human feelings, and you need to show them."

"Sorry, director, I understand." Christian Bale nodded.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it..." said Gilbert Jr. and returned behind the camera.

After Gilbert Jr. finished explaining the play, the two actors who filmed the scene again were in significantly better condition, and the scene ended smoothly.

There is no problem with Christie Bell's acting skills. As long as Gilbert Jr. communicates and guides him well, there will be no problem.
