《Hollywood King》Chapter 75. [Bonus!]
Advertisement
It took Ian four months to finish shooting the majority of the scenes that were full of adventures. After shooting the training scenes in Iceland, they moved from place to place until they were finally in Chicago.
During that time, the Batmobile was completely built and was ready to be tested, Ian had to pay a visit to check if it was in as good of a condition as he expected, and was more than happy with how it had turned out.
"Turn to the left," Ian said while it moved at 165 mph, giving a slight panic attack to Ian. The training grounds were well secured, so there was nothing to fear, yet the adrenaline rush was too much.
"Stop stop stop!" Ian said after a while bringing the tumbler to stop.
"How was it?" The test driver asked while Ian just kept shaking his head.
It worked quite good. Even the gadgets that the real Batmobile had were included in it as per Ian's request.
But he came back as soon as possible to start the shootings from where he left off. With the Batmobile being all ready to be used, Ian also checked on the other Batman gadgets which were made, polished, and looked very good in person.
He touched every one of them because they all felt surreal.
"These look so good," Ian said, taking a small blade kind of gadget to his hand.
"I know right. And sir, this is the coolest in my opinion," The man who brought the equipment showed Ian the Grappling gun. Ian nodded agreeing with the man, seeing all of them were perfectly made just like how Ian wanted.
The very next day, he started shooting with the equipment. Since almost every other part was taken, he wanted to make sure the Batsuit looked cool enough for people to get crazy over it and question things from Ian, such as, how he came up with the idea.
Regardless, after a few weeks of shooting the scenes of Batman, with Bale in the Batman suit, it had finally come to the scene where he shows himself to Rachel. It was when everything got messy with Ducard adding the gas to cover up the city with the intention of ruining Gotham.

The scene Ian was filming now was attempted by Bruce four times in a row.
"Action!" Ian said aloud for everyone to hear.
The set was misty and it was taken during the afternoon. The background could always be changed without a worry.
"I told you he'd come," The kid said who looked frightened from the camera.
"Cut! Can you be a little more shivery? More scared? Scarlet looked at him, and then turned back to look at Batman. "Okay? One more!"
….."Action!"
The little boy looked at Rachel in disbelief. 'What just happened?' he couldn't seem to comprehend. Then he knew who was behind the sudden escape from weird humans.
"I told you he'd come," the emotions were on point. A smirk appeared on Ian's lips.
The camera focused on Batman. When Bale first saw the costume he said, "If I ever knew someone who wears something like this, I'd probably just say get some fucking brains."
…."Action!!"
The camera went to see Rachel's expressions. 'Who is this guy? And… why is he helping me?'. She had met him before too, but this time she felt something; an urge to know who he is.
"Wait!!" Rachel called Batman.
Batman was looking away and about to jump off. Hearing Rachel's yell, he stopped in his tracks.
Batman turned around to see her. Rachel stared at his eyes in the black cowl which reached up to his face. There was a moment of silence.
"You could die. At least tell me your name," She said wanting to know who he was.
"It's not who I am underneath–" Batman said while touching his chest. "But what I do that defines me,"
Rachel realized those was her own words. Rachel stepped forward and extended her hand. But she was too late, Batman had already jumped off the ledge, extending his cape.
"Bruce–" She said just before he fell.
"Cut!!" Ian said and rewatched the cut.
Bale fell onto a mattress that was behind the wall. It was not that far of a drop, and everything was perfectly planned out so as to not harm any of the actors.

"You could have done better, Christian. You need to be more emotional as if you were repeating the most important words you have ever heard. I want THAT feeling to be felt through your words and actions, it feels fake if it's just words. One more?"
"Let's take a break. I feel dizzy falling from that two-three times," he said walking into the set from where he fell. Ian laughed and told Martin to check on him.
[...] After two more tries, the scene was shot perfectly. Scarlet Johnson nailed her performance. The expressions, emotions, and looks perfectly fit the character description.
"That was such a good shot, Scarlet, keep going!" Ian praised her knowing it would motivate her to continue to use the maximum amount of her talent.

The camera focused on Earle who entered the room and was looking confused.
"What are you doing here, Fox? I seem to remember firing you," Earle said.
Fox kept distributing the papers, and replied to Earle, "You did. I got another job at Wayne, yours." He said.
The person who played Fox was a Black American. Even Ian decided to go with the same persona, someone who looked like Fox from the original. Justus Booker, an actor with white hair, who was an A-grade ranked, was something Ian couldn't let go of.
"Under whose authority?" Earle questioned.
Another A-grade actor was acting as Earle. Since the beginning of shooting his character in the movie, Ian had found it easy to take the scenes that he took part in. Federick was famous for a reason.
"Cut! The eyes of everyone… Focus on what Earle is talking about, he's your previous boss. Isn't it interesting to see him back just to get kicked out which you know would happen at any time? Or is it just me who is waiting for Fox to say 'the words'?" Ian asked while everyone laughed. "Back to the scene then, hope everyone is clear,"
"Quiet on the set… Sound… Lighting…. Roll camera…. Action!"
"Under whose authority?" Earle asked.
A call connected to a speaker in the office room that Bruce's voice was heard through.
"Bruce Wayne,"
"Well the fact is that I'm the owner," Bruce's voice came through.
"What are you talking about? The company went public a week ago–"
"And I bought most of the shares, through various charitable foundations and trusts and so forth. Look it's all a bit technical but the… important thing is that my company's future is secured. Right, Mr. Fox?" Wayne asked through the call.
"Right you are Mr. Wayne,"
"Cut! Now the next scene, this… is a golden line. Remove your glasses and go, 'didn't you get the memo?' with a slight frown. You got this!!" Ian said and smiled.
"...Action!"
"..Mr. Earle, didn't you get the memo?" He acted exactly as Ian said.
Earle, who looked at him angrily, gulped with a frown on his face.
"Cut! That was a good shot! It's a wrap!" Ian said.
Everyone was feeling tired after such an exhausting day. Although they just ended the shooting for the movie overall, they all knew the real movie-making process had just begun. Next, for promos, there would be a lot of videos, photoshoots, and interviews.
"Everyone! Gather up, please!"
Ian said to everyone present on the set. Actors, actresses, crew team, stunt team, helpers, and everyone joined Ian around him.
"This… is going to wrap it up for the entire movie, we had so many wonderful memories and I know all of you must be swamped right now. Just so you know, the next few months will change lives, for the better. I wish you guys luck to face the cameras, and we are gonna meet again, anyway. I just wanted to thank you for all your efforts,"
"Wooooh!" "Ayyy" and claps echoed through the set. They were all feeling great and Ian could see that from their faces.
"And and and, don't forget the party tomorrow!" Ian said building hype. They all clapped.
For the scene, they didn't need that many actors, so there weren't many who were present. The party sounded great for everyone to finish the production of the movie.
