On April 1o, it was the day when the filming of "Spider-Man" officially started, and early in the morning, Lee Chung-hee rushed to the crew, but director Sam Raimi and the new executive producer Kevin Feige told him that he couldn't start work today. %

Lee Chung-hee only rushed to the crew for filming on the 10th, but the crew rushed to New York early to prepare, because this time there will be a lot of real scenes in New York, and the most troublesome thing to take real scenes is naturally the venue.

It is especially difficult to use the venue during the day, which has to be approved by the relevant departments of transportation, health, fire protection, and municipal administration in New York City.

"What's going on?" Lee Chung-hee asked Sam Raimi puzzled, he knew that ten days ago, the crew came to New York to make relevant preparations, not to mention the preparations and other work that were carried out early in the morning when preparing for the early stage of the scene.

Sam Raimi smiled bitterly, "Our timing is too 'lucky', "Terminator 3" and "Counter-Terrorism SWAT Team" happened to be filmed at the beginning of this spring, and then, because of the following Easter, the people in the New York city government said that they had to prepare for the festival on those days, and no crew was allowed to shoot ....... ”

Kevin Feige also reluctantly continued, "If this happens, we won't be able to start filming until May......." ”

"Spider-Man 2" was originally planned to start filming at the end of February, but because of some things, and the protagonist Lee Chung-hee is struggling for the Oscar for Best Actor, it was delayed until April, and if it was May, it would be another month.

The crew was in the preparation stage okay and accepted the preparation, but if they waited for the shooting, it would take more time and money. Because a lot of them have contracts. For example, actors. You can't keep procrastinating, others can't do it, you have to go to another crew after filming, where can you afford to drag it out for a month.

Lee Chung-hee is a good example, he has three films to shoot today, and the time is already very tight.

"To be specific," Lee Chung-hee looked at Kevin Feige, who was the executive producer. More external PR, he is the protagonist, "Is that department not allowed, or is everything stuck......!" ”

Kevin Feige, later the president of Marvel Studios, is a big name among producers, especially for Marvel Comics, but now he is a rookie who has just debuted and has been recognized for "X-Men".

Originally, the last "Spider-Man" should have been supervised by him. Probably due to the system, he became an old acquaintance of Lee Chung-hee. Iwell, who is now helping Imperial Pictures produce Zuò films.

If Lee Chung-hee wins Marvel in the future, he will also recruit Kevin Feige under his command, he is indeed a very talented and market-minded guy, and he understands the audience's tastes very well.

"Fire protection and sanitation have little to do with each other, so it's okay to say, but transportation and municipal administration are a bit troublesome," Kevin Feige replied immediately when he heard Lee Chung-hee ask, but he thought of something smartly.

Lee Chung-hee is a native of New York, and with his family's current status, his influence in New York is not comparable to that of guys like Kevin Feige or even Columbia Pictures.

Sure enough, after Lee Chung-hee frowned, he told Sam Raimi about the other preparations here, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Lee Se-hee is preparing to run for city council, and the city council of New York City is not like other city councils, which are divided into the upper house and the lower house, that is, the Senate and the House of Representatives, but are unified, which is the only one in the United States, and therefore, the city councilors of New York City are heavier and more powerful than other places.

However, as in other places, every two years, some members of the lawmakers whose terms expire are retired, and then someone fills them, and Lee Se-hee is preparing to run next year, and because of this, he has enough knowledge of the power structure in New York City with the help of his family.

Lee Chung-hee called him first, and after roughly understanding who he was looking for, he didn't ask Lee Se-hee to help find someone directly, because it would have a bad impact on Lee Se-hee's future campaign.

The political campaign in the United States can be seen from Mark Twain's "Running for Governor", not to mention the real ferocity of Cheng Dù.

"You and I will go and have a look first," Lee Chung-hee beckoned Kevin Feige, and then said to Sam Raimi: "There should be no way today, but you let the crew be ready to start work at any time, don't let your heart get scattered!" ”

Sam Raimi was of course happy that he took the initiative to help, and he also knew his energy, so he smiled: "Don't worry, I will never let these bunnies go to a nightclub to play, of course, including myself." ”

Transportation and municipal, in essence, if you want to shoot here, you have to pay some money anyway, and you can get money if you ask someone to help, but if you make a bad mess and complain to people, it will not only be a problem for the crew, but they will also be unlucky.

Especially in a few days, when the big Easter is about to come, they are even more reluctant to cause trouble.

Lee Chung-hee first went to the city hall in Downtown, and he went to find the person in charge of the municipal department, but coincidentally, as soon as he arrived in the hall, he met Mayor Bloomberg.

Lee Chung-hee didn't see him for the first time, but was about to enter the corridor on the other side, but Bloomberg came out from the side and called him with a smile, "Hi, Vincent,"

"Hello, Mr. Mayor," Li Zhengxi smiled and turned around to shake hands with him, the two of them had met a few times at the high society dinner in New York, and they were brothers at Harvard Business School, so the relationship was not bad, among them, when he ran for mayor, the Li family paid 100,000 US dollars in campaign funds, and at the same time, his Bloomberg company, at the beginning of last year, the Li family's imperial investment owned six percent of the shares, and was the fifth largest shareholder of the company.

"Just call me Michael," Bloomberg said with a smile, "or call me senior brother," and looked at him curiously, "Why did you come here, looking for your eldest brother, but he doesn't work here now,"

Listening to his relaxed joke, Li Zhengxi thought that this old boy could speak, and shrugged, "It's a little thing, I was going to visit you, but I'm afraid of disturbing your ......." ”

Bloomberg smiled, "yes, I don't think you want to see me as an old man," and glanced at Kevin Feige again, "Your Royal Highness Princess Alice, aren't you supposed to be with her, how can you bring a man today!" ”

"Okay, it's okay for me to admit my mistake, I shouldn't have taken the initiative to disturb you, count me as owing you," Lee Chung-hee begged for mercy, and then said with a smile by the way: "It's really a trivial matter, but since I ran into you, I just bothered you,"

At this point, there is nothing to hide, and I will talk about the difficulties encountered in the filming of "Spider-Man".

"That's it," Bloomberg looked at him with a smile and then glanced at Kevin Feige, "shouldn't that be what they did, you're kind!" ”

Kevin Feige's old face blushed, he just ran around these days, ran many times, invited to eat, stuffed red envelopes, basically did it, but the effect was not great, people just had to pass for a while.

Lee Chung-hee smiled, "No way, I'm very busy this year, if they drag it out, it will be my time, so I have to take the initiative,"

Bloomberg nodded, and Lee Chung-hee opened his mouth, which is equivalent to owing him a favor, this is important, not to mention this kind of small matter, of course he is willing to help, so he said to the chief of staff next to him, "You and Mr. Feige go and arrange things,"

Then he said to Lee Chung-hee: "Let's go, I was just about to talk to you about something, it's almost noon now, let's have a meal together." ”

Bloomberg said this, Kevin Feige didn't understand why he politely left with his chief of staff, and Lee Chung-hee glanced at his watch, it was just after ten o'clock, and he could figure it out if he had lunch.

However, since he had something to say, Lee Chung-hee naturally couldn't refuse, so he followed him into the car.

When the car drove out, Bloomberg closed the partition in front of him, and the driver in front couldn't hear what they said, so he looked at him and said, "Have you heard your brother say recently, the city is reorganizing the appearance of the whole New York ......?" ”

Li Zhengxi nodded, "I've heard of it," and pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't say that my brother is not a city councilor, even if he is, it doesn't have much to do with me, you suddenly told me this, I am very weak-hearted......!" ”

Bloomberg smiled helplessly, knowing that he couldn't be treated as a twenty-year-old little guy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say anything today.

He said: "I discussed with your father before that although Manhattan was very bad and chaotic at the end of the last century, if the city's appearance is well improved, the real estate industry still has a brilliant future, but he seems to have some concerns! ”

The last two mayors basically ruined New York City, especially Manhattan, but by the previous mayor, the situation began to change, but the terrorist attacks in 2oo1 put New York in trouble again.

I have to say that although Bloomberg in front of him is a very treacherous guy, his contribution to New York City is still indelible. For example, although he said that he did not receive a penny of remuneration during his term as mayor, his private wealth has changed from more than $800 million when he took office at the end of 2oo1 to more than $30 billion when he left office in 2o13.

It is more than 40 times, which is another reason why Imperial Investment will buy the equity of Bloomberg, in addition to Bloomberg is the most authoritative media.

Of course, his assets have increased, and the situation in New York City has also improved, such as Manhattan has once again become the center of the world, from the fiscal deficit of more than $4 billion before he took office to the abundant treasury when he left office, etc., these are the reasons why New Yorkers, including the bigwigs behind him, recognize him even if he is profitable for himself.
