Chapter 138: Do you want to film?
Filming was in full swing and overall went well, but there were a few minor troubles.
According to the script, the young boy, who is the male protagonist of the movie, accidentally witnesses the scene of a terrorist organization's transaction, and then the organization sends a top killer to hunt him down. Then Spider-Woman will appear at this time, and there will be a fight with the killer.
And the problem lies with this "top killer".
To be reasonable, Richard feels that he has invested enough in this villain who only has such a chance to appear in the whole film. In this part, he rarely spared his salary, and adopted the advice of the old director, and successively invited several experienced Hollywood action actors to play, but the audition always failed to achieve the effect he expected.
Friday night, Black Pearl Bar, a small bar at the corner of 32nd and 44th Streets.
Although it may seem small and shabby compared to most of its peers, it is also the bar that Richard frequents the most. Because the proprietress of the bar always reminds him of the aunt who sold stinky tofu downstairs in his previous life, this place will make him feel intimate.
Richard habitually sat at the bar and asked for a glass of wine and sat down, watching TV while chatting with the aunt behind the bar. After a few moments, a woman sat down next to him.
"Give this gentleman a glass of whiskey." The woman said, smiling lightly at Richard, "Add some olive branches." ”
Richard glanced at her and raised an eyebrow.
This is a very beautiful and fashionable woman, with an oriental face, a high nose bridge, gorgeous red lips, upright and pretty facial features, a burgundy silk hanging group, slender and perfect legs under the group, and a moving appearance.
But that's not the point. The point is that Richard instinctively felt at the first sight of her that he seemed to have seen this woman somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a while.
The beautiful lady left a green bill on the bar, and the proprietress delivered a glass of whiskey to Richard. Richard glanced at her, "Seriously? ”
"Of course." The lady smiled and raised her glass herself, "Just trying to make friends......"
However, before she finished speaking, she saw Richard take the wine glass and grunt a few times, then drank it in one gulp, and said to the proprietress boldly, "Another drink." ”
The proprietress took the empty cup and glanced at him: "Are you sure?" Or whiskey? ”
"Just like the cup just now." Richard smiled, "Anyway, didn't this lady say it, she pays." ”
Lady: "......"
Normally, this should have come to the point where the woman who tried to strike up the conversation was dissuaded, but this one didn't. She chuckled gracefully and seductively, and shook her glass, "You are indeed a different man, Mr. Li, as they say." ”
"Oh? Do you know me? ”
"Of course I do." She smiled and said, "You're kind of a celebrity." A few years ago, you started from scratch and started trying to carve out your niche in this small part of New York. Look at how long it has been, and now people living in New York look up and everyone can spot the sign of the Daily Planet at a glance between the buildings. That's your business card, Mr. Li, it's your mark in the city. ”
She paused, blinking at what seemed to be a pair of spiritual eyes.
"It's not for everyone." She said, "If you want me to say, you're a legend, Mr. Lee." ”
Richard nodded seriously: "Well, indeed, I think so too." ”
Woman: "......"
It's not that I praise you, just forget it, is it really good for you to accept it with peace of mind?
And what's the deal with your attitude of "boasting about my goodness, you can talk all day"?
But this woman's cultivation is really extraordinary, and even so, she still doesn't have any overreactions. She smiled and said, "To be honest, I really didn't expect to meet a big person like you in this kind of place, and it's my honor to know each other." ”
She said, stretching out her slender bony palm, "Erica Natches, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Richard looked at her with some surprise.
Well, now he remembered. Erica, the female ticket to the famous superhero Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen...... One. Richard remembers that she was a ninja, a killer, and had the same teacher as Daredevil, and was a member of the True Pure Society, an organization of killers whose ultimate goal was to eliminate the Hand Clan......
It's just that Richard thinks about it, and he really can't remember how he got involved with this "True Pure Society". If you have to say it, he also had such a conflict with the Hand Club, and he just got an old immortal old woman and a handyman with a name and surname, even if he wants to trouble him, it should be the Hand Club who is looking for it, what will happen to this true innocence?
Maybe they learned through some channel that Lady Gao was actually killed by Richard, so now they send Erica to betray their hue and induce him to fall to the Pure Society?
This does seem to be the most probable.
However, Richard was not very interested in wading into these troubled waters. Killing Mrs. Gao before was only for personal reasons - Mrs. Gao's methods of mutilating her compatriots and selling drugs made him very unhappy, so he took action to kill the old woman, just for personal reasons and no other reason.
As for the Hand Association, it is a super organization entrenched all over the world, and after so many years of development, it has already penetrated into all areas of the world, and its difficulty is second only to the hydra that inhabits the Aegis. It's not too difficult to eliminate a few of the leaders of the Hand Clan, but to uproot this organization? That's obviously not practical.
So no matter what Erica approached him for, Richard thought it would be better to keep her at arm's length. Erica didn't have much he wanted, and no one wanted a professional killer to circle around them all day......
...... Well, wait, professional killers?
Is there a "killer" on our side?
Richard's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Erica with a completely different gaze. He looked at Erica from head to toe as if he were a treasure connoisseur admiring a freshly unearthed antique, and Erica felt uncomfortable.
No, brother, although I'm here to make a beauty, you don't have to be so direct, right......
"Good." Richard nodded earnestly, "Very good, you're the one I'm looking for." ”
Erica was confused. What's going on?
Have you made sure I've met the right person?
"Miss Natis," Richard looked solemn, "may I ask you a question?" ”
Erica's heart jumped. She wants to say you're making too fast progress, right? I'm not as impatient as you, and everything has to be done step by step, haven't you heard of it?
But she still nodded: "You ask." ”
She was mentally prepared, no matter what he asked for the task, she would agree to it first.
As a result, I heard Richard ask: "Do you want to film?" ”
Erica: "??? ”
