Because of the filming of Whoopi Goldberg, the crew came to the Bronx district of New York, if Manhattan is the rich area of New York, then this is the slum of New York.

It's also the area with the highest crime rate in New York, and of course it's all about their residents, who are in a black area.

Even so, it still has a stadium that New Yorkers love so much: the home of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees.

There are four major professional sports leagues in North America, namely the American Football League, the American Professional Baseball League, the American Professional Basketball League, and the National Hockey League.

For domestic audiences, the most familiar is naturally the NBA, but in North America, the NBA can only rank third among the four major professional leagues, ranking behind the NFL and MLB.

The NFL Super Bowl is the biggest event for Americans, and the Super Bowl is also known as the 'American Spring Festival Gala'.

So many friends will see that whenever the Super Bowl is held, countless stars will go to the scene to watch, and the singers who can sing at the Super Bowl are also the hottest singers in North America that year, but this tradition is not always there, before the 90 Super Bowl halftime show actually few stars participated, mostly performing arts institutions, lack of attention, but with the development of the Super Bowl, the halftime show began to pay more and more attention to inviting popular singers to appear.

Michael Jackson, who performed at the halftime show of the Super Bowl in '93, caused a huge sensation.

Later, the halftime show of the Super Bowl also became a stage for many production companies to release their new film trailers, and many blockbusters will release their new film trailers here.

But even so, NBA players are paid the highest in the four major professional leagues, which is why many players choose to join the NBA after being both basketball and football players in college.

One of the most famous is Alan Iverson, who was definitely a football and basketball superstar in high school, leading his high school football team to the Virginia High School Championship as a quarterback, and then leading the school basketball team to the same honor.

When the crew came here to shoot, it was natural to strengthen some security measures, so during filming, you will see more than a dozen men in black standing outside the set guarding the safety and equipment of the crew.

The presence of these big men is enough to deter some of the people here.

Luckily, we were shooting here on exterior this time, and we had to go back to the Los Angeles studio to shoot the interior.

It was a huge challenge for the crew to shoot the location here, but for Whoopi Goldberg, it was like coming back to home.

Between the shooting, Whoopi Goldberg smiled and said to Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, don't worry, the people here are actually very friendly." ”

Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything, if the people here say friendly, it is estimated that there will be no unfriendly people in the whole of America.

However, it is naturally impossible to tell Whoopi Goldberg these words, otherwise no matter how much she admires Wu Jianye, it is estimated that she will have to label Wu Jianye a racist hat.

In the United States, there are some pitfalls that cannot be entered, such as the so-called racial discrimination, sexism, various animal protection associations, and so on.

As one of the largest racial groups in the United States, black people attach great importance to the so-called racial discrimination, and if they are involved in these things, no matter who they are, they will lose a layer of skin!

Later, why did the Los Angeles Clippers sell to Ballmer, wasn't it that the previous owner made such remarks in private, and then was poked out, and then it was boycotted by the whole of North America, and there was no choice but to sell the Clippers to Ballmer.

In fact, this also shows in another aspect how serious the problem of racial discrimination in North America is, and if it is not serious, it will not be resisted by these people.

Sometimes Wu Jianye hated not to understand, how did these races who were discriminated against outside become distinguished guests in China?

Maybe it's because they are discriminated against by blacks here, and yellow people in the United States are not treated as well as blacks.......

Even if Wu Jianye transferred a large number of security guards, in the end, the crew's equipment was lost, which made Wu Jianye a headache.

"Why did you lose the camera, and what are you doing with food?" Wu Jianye looked at the security guard in charge of guarding the equipment angrily.

The security guard also looked aggrieved: "Director Wu, we don't know, I just went to the toilet, and I lost it when I came back." ”

Luckily, the lost camera was only a backup and didn't affect the shooting.

"Director Wu, why don't we call the police?" the security guard continued.

Wu Jianye glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot, and said, "Is it useful?"

The security guard stopped talking.

There are dozens of cases of this kind of thing almost every day in the Bronx, and it is estimated that there are not even one or two cases that can be solved.

Whoopi Goldberg walked over with a smile and said, "Director Wu, why don't you leave this matter to me." ”

Wu Jianye glanced at Whoopi Goldberg, and then said, "Forget it, don't take any chances!"

Whoopi Goldberg said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

After saying that, Whoopi Goldberg walked out, and from a distance, Wu Jianye saw Whoopi Goldberg and a few blacks on the street playing black-exclusive gestures and colliding, and after a while, Whoopi Goldberg walked back with a smile.

"Director Wu, let's talk about it, someone will send it over in a while!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and didn't ask Whoopi Goldberg how he did it, but just asked someone to bring some money, and said, "People are here, give this money to the other party!"

Whoopi Goldberg saw Wu Jianye doing things like this, and the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.

"Thank you, Director Wu. ”

Director Wu smiled, filming in the Bronx will take two days, and Wu Jianye just doesn't want such a problem to occur again.

After a while, sure enough, a few black men came over with video cameras, and when they got the money, they happily talked to Whoopi Goldberg before leaving.

When these people left, Whoopi Goldberg found Wu Jianye with a smile: "Director Wu, the matter is negotiated, our crew will not have anything to do in the past two days!"

Wu Jianye nodded.

At this time, Wu Jianye suddenly saw a car driving over, and after stopping outside the crew, a white old man in his sixties with glasses walked down, his figure was a little thin, but his pace was very steady.

"Why did he come here?" Wu Jianye said with some curiosity after seeing this old man, but he still walked over.

"Welcome, welcome!"

The person who came was none other than Stan Lee, the soul of Marvel.

After Stan Li saw Wu Jianye, he also said with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet Director Wu, so I naturally hurried over this time if I had the opportunity!"

Although at the beginning of this year, Wall Street capitalist Ronald Perelman bought Marvel Entertainment Group in the hands of New World Pictures for $82.5 million.

But within Marvel, Stan Lee still has a strong influence, Stan Lee, who joined Marvel at the age of 16, according to statistics, more than half of the superheroes were born in Stan Lee's hands, including "Fantastic Four", "Hulk", "Spider-Man", "Iron Man" These classic superhero comic book characters.

And now Stan Lee is still the publisher and chairman of Marvel, even if Ronald Perelman is now the actual controller of Marvel, he has to give Stan Lee some face within Marvel.

As for the later generations when the Marvel universe was rampant in the film industry, Stan Lee was actually no longer the chairman of Marvel, he had already stepped down from all his positions in Marvel in 98 years and founded Stan Lee Media Company by himself.

Wu Jianye glanced at the time and said, "The filming of the crew still needs a little time, if Li, if you are not in a hurry, it is better to wait for a while!"

As I said before, Wu Jianye will not be disturbed by outside things when he is filming, so even if Stan Li appears in advance now, Wu Jianye will not change his rules for him.

Stan Lee smiled and said, "It's okay, it just so happens that I also want to watch Director Wu's filming!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and asked people to arrange for Stan Lee to sit aside and rest, and then started the filming later today, the filming in the Bronx will be completed in these two days, so many scenes are filmed in jumps, but this kind of thing is not uncommon for the crew, everyone is filming in an orderly manner.

Halfway through the shooting, Wu Jianye came to Stan Li and said with a smile: "Li, there is a dragon role, are you interested in trying it?"

When Stan Lee heard this, he smiled with interest: "Is that okay?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Of course, it's just a few seconds of footage." ”

Stan Lee, who is known as a cameo madman, doesn't care about the importance of the role at all, he just likes this feeling, so when Wu Jianye said that it was just a few seconds of shot, he was not unhappy, and immediately smiled: "No problem, then I'll change my clothes now!"

Wu Jianye smiled and asked the costumer of the crew to bring the costumes that had been prepared to Stan Lee, and Stan Li excitedly changed into costumes, and came to the camera at Wu Jianye's request.

The scene is actually improvised, and Stan Lee's character is actually a ghost, with a brief meeting with Mel Gibson's Sam, and a line.

The footage was quickly filmed, and although Stan Lee is not a professional actor, this kind of thing is not difficult for him, as long as he performs in his true colors.

After filming this shot, today's filming is basically over, but a large part of the filming in the Bronx is an evening scene, and these shooting times are written in the contract, so there is nothing to say in front of and behind the scenes, and when the shooting is over, everyone begins to prepare to go back to the hotel.

Wu Jianye also returned to Manhattan with Stan Lee, and the two found a café, and after sitting down, Stan Lee talked about Marvel.

"Director Wu, I heard that Phantom Entertainment has been very interested in Marvel's superheroes recently!" Stan Lee said bluntly.

Phantom Entertainment bought the copyright of "Fantastic Four" and "Spider-Man", which is not news for a long time, but now the copyright of Marvel's superheroes is not important news in Hollywood, plus there is big news about the cooperation between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media.

Naturally, this bit of news has not attracted the attention of others.

"Yes, in fact, Phantom Entertainment is not only interested in Marvel's superheroes, but is very interested in the whole Marvel, if you can, Phantom Entertainment hopes to be able to buy the entire Marvel!" Wu Jianye was not polite, and directly explained his plan to Stan Lee.

In fact, in the United States, DC Comics has always stabilized Marvel, but unfortunately, DC is now in the hands of Warner, Warner is wealthy, and has always regarded DC as its own strategic reserve, and it is impossible to sell it, but Marvel is different, although the copyright is chaotic, it is precisely because of the chaos that they are internally unstable and more conducive to acquisition.

In the eyes of future generations, the Marvel Universe is indeed strong enough, but it is precisely because the Marvel Universe was founded that it began to build its own Marvel Universe with a broken attitude.

And DC has always been independent in the part of comics, plus Nolan's "Batman" trilogy is too successful, and DC wants to shoot according to the dark wind of "Batman" in this area, and wants to learn the comic style of the Marvel universe, which finally led to a four-dislike, coupled with DC's eagerness, unlike Marvel has a complete plan, which makes DC always lag behind Marvel.

If the DC Universe is laid out in this era, it is likely to surpass the Marvel Universe in the future.

But all this can only be a fantasy, unless Wu Jianye buys Warner now, but this is basically impossible.

Stan Lee was very pleasantly surprised when he heard Wu Jianye say that Phantom Entertainment actually wanted to buy the entire Marvel, but then he showed a helpless expression.

The surprise is because Phantom Entertainment, as a popular fried chicken in Hollywood studios, if Marvel is acquired by him, then there is really hope for the Marvel heroes he has always dreamed of putting Marvel heroes on the big screen.

In fact, Stan Lee has also been acting for such a goal, and Marvel's first wave of selling heroes was completed under his leadership.

At that time, stimulated by the box office of "Superman" 1 and 2, how could Marvel not be popular, but at that time, DC had already been acquired by Warner, and they were backed by the mountains, and they had a lot of money, so they naturally didn't have to worry about making movies, but Marvel was only under the independent production company of New World Pictures, at most, it was to help Marvel build momentum and market and accumulate some contacts in the film industry, and there was no money to make a movie.

Therefore, if Marvel wants to make a movie, it can only negotiate with other film companies, and if the latter has the intention of making a movie, then the role must be licensed to the other party, which is the origin of "selling heroes".

Now that Phantom Entertainment is interested in Marvel, he is naturally happy.

But what worries me is that Marvel just changed owners at the beginning of the year, and now he wants to buy it, but he can't be the master!
