[Anti-theft sticker chapter, please subscribe again tomorrow]
After a week of running-in, under the influence of Eric's professionalism that does not hold his personal identity at all, everyone in the crew of "Iron Man" has gradually let go of all the scruples in their hearts, and the operation speed of the entire crew has become more and more efficient. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cave scene was originally planned to be filmed in two weeks, but because everything went well, a week later, the filming progress of this part of the scene had exceeded 70%.
At the same time, these days, the speculation and discussion in the media about the male protagonist of "Iron Man" is becoming more and more lively.
Although the crew has strict confidentiality measures, there are still more and more clues that have been unearthed by the media.
All this gradually points to a fact that many people feel a little incredible, Eric Williams may really be the actor of "Iron Man" himself.
Eventually, it wasn't until Eric appeared at the premiere of a movie called "Murder of Green Toes" with black hair that most of the media finally confirmed that Eric played Tony Stark.
The Coen brothers' "Murder of Green Toes" is produced by working-title films, a subsidiary of Polygram Records.
When Eric was about to invite Jeff Bridges to star in "Iron Man" last year, "Murder of Green Toes" happened to be completed, and he took advantage of the situation to let New Line win the North American distribution rights of the classic anti-genre film. After Seagram acquired Polygram, although Universal began to take over PolyGram's film business, the films that had already signed contracts would definitely not be able to be taken back.
Although "Murder of Green Toes" has received good reviews, this is far from being compared with the news of Eric's personal participation in "Iron Man", and it just so happened that "Forbes" magazine subsequently released a new year's list of the richest people in North America, and Eric's net worth of $136.7 billion directly made the whole topic hot.
Microsoft's market capitalization exceeded $200 billion, making Bill Gates, who still holds about 25% of the company's shares after continuing to reduce his holdings, skyrocket to $51 billion. However, just like last year, in the face of Eric, who is unbeatable in the number of wealth, the wealth of the gate classmates is still less than half of Eric's.
Because Firefly proposed to cover almost the entire information industry, perhaps influenced by the discussion about Eric's net worth some time ago, Forbes magazine also gave Eric the title of "Rockefeller in the Information Age" at the end of the feature article.
At the same time, the media's comments on Eric's decision to play Iron Man in person are also mixed, some people think that Eric is playing with tickets, which may ruin the entire comic book series, and some people feel that Eric's personal participation will definitely make Firefly make more resources inclined to the "Iron Man" project, and the audience will get an unprecedented special effects blockbuster.
As the topic spreads, there will naturally be other messy discussions, the most of which is undoubtedly the question of who is richer Eric Williams or Tony Stark.
It's just that this issue didn't even cause much controversy, because the conclusion was too obvious.
Stark Industries can easily find a prototype in the United States, and that is the famous Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world's largest military conglomerate.
However, although Lockheed Martin has a pivotal position in the United States and even the world's military industry, as a listed company, Lockheed Martin's current market value is actually only $22.5 billion. By analogy, the market value of Stark Industries is probably only around $20 billion, but as the majority shareholder of Stark Industries, Tony Stark's net worth cannot exceed $10 billion anyway.
Firefly Studios, inside Studio 7.
The cave scene is nearing the end, and today's filming is about Tony Stark finally wearing the Mark1 mech, as long as the next few scenes of battle scenes are completed, the shooting in the cave will be completely over.
The Mark1 mech was crafted by Stan Winston over the course of several months, and when put on, it looks like a real mech, moving with agility and momentum. Therefore, although the weight of the entire mecha reached 45 kilograms, Eric did not let the crew arrange a stand-in.
Behind the monitor, Joss Whedon replayed the footage again, confirmed that it was correct, and made an OK gesture to everyone: "Okay, that's it for today, call it a day." ”
There was a burst of applause in the venue, and several staff members also quickly stepped forward to help Eric disassemble the Mark1 mecha on his body.
Joss Whedon walked over with the director's script in his hand and said, "Eric, there are only five scenes left, and I think maybe I can work a day of overtime tomorrow so that I can go directly to Las Vegas next week." ”
California's labor laws for the film industry are even stricter, today is Friday, there are no special arrangements, and the crew is usually going to have a weekend. Of course, overtime is not impossible, but the salary of employees is several times higher than that of the working day, so the general crew will not easily choose to work overtime.
The helmet was taken away, Eric moved his neck, raised his arm to let the cuirass be removed, and said, "Jos, if you think it's appropriate, let people arrange it, I don't have anything special to do on the weekend." ”
Joss Whedon nodded, turned around and instructed a staff member behind him to tell everyone to work overtime tomorrow.
Eric chatted with Joss Whedon for a few more words, and the mecha on his body was completely untied before he said goodbye to the other party and planned to go home to rest.
Caroline and Melanie greeted her, Melanie handed Eric a bottle of water, Caroline opened the folder in her arms, took out an invitation from it, and said, "Eric, this is Madonna Siccone, she wants to invite her to the new album launch party." ”
Eric took the invitation and looked at it, but he remembered Victoria Adams, who had been stuffed by himself to Madonna, and he didn't know what had happened to the girl.
However, the date on the invitation letter was tomorrow night, and Eric could only shake his head and say, "Forget it, I have to continue working tomorrow, and I can't spare time." Her new album has been released, though, when?"
Caroline replied: "On March 3, 760,000 copies were sold in the first week, which is the best Madonna since 1990. ”
Eric just nodded, all he cared about was when Madonna's album would be delivered to the Yahoo Music Store, and he didn't ask again.
Caroline closed the folder and said, "Also, Eric, Miss Cole is waiting for you outside. ”
