The filming of the movie started in full swing, and the overall progress was quite smooth, but we also encountered a little trouble.
According to the script, the little boy who is the protagonist of the movie accidentally witnesses a transaction site of a terrorist organization, and then the organization will send a top killer to hunt him down. Then Spider-Woman will appear at this time and have a period with the killer.
Play.
The problem lies with this "top killer".
To be fair, Richard felt that he had invested enough in this minor villain who only had one appearance in the whole film. It was rare that he did not begrudge the pay for this part, and he took the advice of the old director and hired several experienced and seasoned actors.
A Hollywood action actor appeared in the role, but the audition always failed to achieve the effect he expected.
Friday night, Black Pearl Bar, a small bar located at the intersection of 32nd Street and 44th Street.
Although this place is shabby and small compared to most of its peers, it is also the bar that Richard frequents most. Because the lady boss of the bar always reminds him of the aunt who sold stinky tofu downstairs in his previous life, this place makes him
He felt friendly.
Richard sat at the bar as usual, ordered a glass of wine, and sat down while watching TV and chatting with the aunt behind the bar. After a while, a woman appeared next to him.
Sat down.
"Bring this gentleman a glass of whiskey," the woman said, giving Richard a faint smile, "and an olive branch."
Richard glanced sideways at her and raised his eyebrows.
This is a very beautiful and fashionable woman with an oriental face, a high nose bridge, bright red lips, regular and pretty facial features, a burgundy silk crotch, and long and perfect legs under the crotch.
Touching appearance.
But that's not the point. The point is that when Richard saw her for the first time, he instinctively felt that he had seen this woman somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for the moment.
The beautiful lady left a green banknote on the bar, and the landlady quickly delivered a glass of whiskey to Richard. Richard tilted his head and glanced at her: "Seriously?"
"Of course." The lady smiled and picked up the wine glass herself, "I just want to make friends..."
However, before she could finish her words, she saw Richard pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp. He said boldly to the landlady: "One more glass."
The landlady took the empty glass and glanced at him: "Are you sure? Or whiskey?"
"Just the same cup as the one just now." Richard smiled, "Anyway, didn't this lady say she'll pay for it?"
Miss:"......"
Normally, this would have been the point where the woman who was trying to strike up a conversation would have been persuaded to leave, but not this one. She chuckled elegantly and seductively, and shook her cup: "You are just as they said,
He is a unique man, Mr. Li."
"Oh? You know me?"
"Of course I do." She said with a smile, "You are somewhat of a celebrity. A few years ago you started from scratch and started trying to carve out your own world in this small place in New York. Look how long it has been, and now you live in
When people in New York look up, everyone can spot the Daily Planet signboard at a glance among the buildings. That is your business card, Mr. Li, and it is your mark on this city."
She paused and blinked her spiritual eyes.
"Not everyone can do this," she said. "If you ask me, you are a legend, Mr. Li."
Richard nodded seriously: "Yes, indeed, I think so too."
woman:"......"
It’s not that I’m complimenting you. Is it really okay for you to accept it with peace of mind like this?
And what’s up with your attitude of “you can praise me all day long”?
But this woman's self-cultivation is really extraordinary. Even so, she still didn't have any extreme reaction. She smiled and said: "To be honest, I didn't expect to meet such a big shot like you in a place like this. We can interact with each other."
It's an honor to meet you."
She said, stretching out her slender palm: "Erica Nakis, nice to meet you."
Richard looked at her in surprise.
Okay, now he remembered it. Erica, one of the female leads of the famous superhero Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen. Richard remembered that she was a ninja, a killer, and had the same characteristics as Daredevil.
A teacher, and also joined the "Shinsumi Kai", a killer organization with the ultimate goal of destroying the Hand...
It's just that Richard thought about it, but he really couldn't remember how he was related to the "Zhenshun Society". If it must be said, he only had one conflict with the Hand, and it happened instantly.
It's just an immortal old woman and a certain miscellaneous soldier with a certain surname. Even if they want to cause trouble for him, the Hand will come to find him. What will happen to this Zhenzun?
Maybe they learned through some channel that Mrs. Gao was actually killed by Richard, so now they sent Erica to betray her and lure him to the Zhenshun Society?
This does seem to be the most likely.
However, Richard was not very interested in wading into this muddy water. He had only killed Mrs. Gao for personal reasons before - Mrs. Gao's methods of killing compatriots and selling drugs made him very unhappy, so he took action to kill the old woman, just for
It's just personal and no other reason.
As for the Hand, it is a super organization entrenched all over the world. After so many years of development, it has penetrated into all areas of the world. Its difficulty is second only to the Hydra that lives inside SHIELD. Eliminate the Hand.
It's not too difficult to remove several leaders, but to uproot this organization? That's obviously not practical.
So no matter what purpose Erica approached him for, Richard felt it was better to keep a distance from her. There was nothing he wanted in Erica, and no one wanted a professional killer to be around her all day long.
spinning around...
...Um, wait, a professional killer?
Are we just short of a "killer" here?
Richard's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Erica with a completely different look. He looked at Erica carefully from head to toe, just like a treasure appraisal expert admiring a newly unearthed antique.
The same thing made Erica feel uncomfortable.
No, brother, although I’m here to set up a honey trap, you don’t have to be so direct...
"Very good." Richard nodded seriously, "Very good, you are the person I am looking for."
Erica was confused. What is going on?
Confirmed by eyes that I met the right person?
"Miss Natchez," Richard looked serious, "can I ask you a question?"
Erica's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to say that your progress is too fast, right? I'm not as impatient as you, haven't you heard that everything should be done step by step?
But she still nodded: "Just ask."
She was mentally prepared to agree to whatever request he made for the mission and that would be it.
As a result, Richard asked: "Do you want to film?"
