Hollywood legendary director

California, Alabama Hills (AlabamaHills).

The sun shone on the ground, and a group of uninvited guests came to the peaceful wilderness.

"The wind today is very noisy."

Lyman sitting under the awning drank a mouthful and sighed with a broken mouth.

Behind him, the staff is unloading the shooting equipment from the truck. The set team has already begun to prepare for the filming of the scene. On the other hand, Thomas and the film crew are also arranging suitable camera positions according to the scene and the recording team. The placement of the noise reduction microphone, and let the lighting group take a few shading plates to soften the transmitted light.

The track was paved, and a camera was hung on a boom to capture the overhead view from high altitude.

Everyone is busy, and so is Lehman.

After a short break, he confirmed the completion of the work with the head of the sub-department.

In this scene, Tony Stark was taken hostage by a group of thugs. It is said that he was taken to Afghanistan, but in fact, there are many places in the United States where you can photograph the gravelized site.

This is the case in Alabama.

As the Middle East or desert region appeared in many classic Hollywood movies, the crew of "Iron Man" naturally chose here.

The main reason is that Afghanistan is not very peaceful. For the safety of crew members, let's stop doing it.

Moreover, the location of the shooting is closer and the cost is less.

The group actors who play thugs with a Middle Eastern face are being told how to stand while waiting for the filming so that they can not block the shots of the protagonist Mr. Downey and serve as a suitable backdrop.

Thomas, wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed visor on his head, personally controls the close-up camera position 1. His arms are extremely stable, and he walks quickly and holds a position to follow the character. The camera will not shake too much, but can give the picture. Infuse a sense of breathing.

Ryan, wearing a leather jacket, stood outside the filming scene, constantly communicating with people from the Screen Actors Guild, or arranging staff, or contacting board and lodging...In short, there was a lot of busy.

Outside of filming, there are quite a lot of trivial matters, and these obviously cannot be solved by director Lehman.

Kevin Fitch got some breathing space and quickly stood behind Lehman. When Lehman made the mark on the clapperboard, he focused on the director's monitor in front of him, staring at the image at all times, daring not to have extra Slack.

When it comes to shooting, he is serious.

Such a busy and orderly scene with clear division of labor makes Kevin Fitch inexplicably happy.

It’s not that I have never seen it. In fact, he has also been in a team with more people than this, such as "Spider-Man", but that was working for Sony, and now he is working hard for Marvel's works. The meaning is different. The leader of Marvel Pictures, with many expectations.

For the future, for Marvel, for yourself.

He had thought about the day when he hosted a Marvel movie, but he had never thought that Firefly would come in, nor had he thought that this day would come so soon.

In the lens.

Downey, a little embarrassed, looked haggard.

Being bombed by a weapon and missile developed by himself and being held hostage is not an interesting experience, not to mention that after the mob took him to visit his camp, Stark discovered that all their weapons and equipment were printed with "historical industry". Logo, which shows that this is indeed a product produced by the Arms Department of his company group.

Inside the cave.

Downey, who was wrapped like a mummy, had blank eyes.

The fixed and buried No. 2 camera was given a mid-range shot for another character to frame.

In a slim suit and glasses, Dr. Ethan played Stark from the brink of death.

......

August 9, 2007.

BNP Paribas-this is a large international bank.

Suddenly issued an announcement to stop the redemption of its three subprime mortgage funds.

The announcement claimed that this was because the liquidity in certain areas of the U.S. capital market had completely evaporated, resulting in its inability to fairly assess the value of certain assets.

As soon as this remark came out, in an uproar, people’s belief in real estate and the myth of undefeated real estate were finally shaken. Although housing prices have been falling in recent months, a large number of investors believe that it is a short-term market adjustment. If you don't take it to heart, you will definitely get warmer.

With the spread of unconfidence, the area of ​​suspicion among the people is getting bigger and bigger, starting with real estate-related funds and then institutions with higher overall asset risk exposure.

Therefore, investors began to question the product and transitioned to questioning the unhealthy asset structure and the solvency of institutions with poor asset quality.

However, the regulators did not understand the signs. They could not fully judge whether the market trend was reversed, a crisis was imminent, or that this was just an ordinary case. After all, losses and fluctuations are normal operating conditions of the market economy.

On August 10th, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke held an emergency conference call, but after the discussion everyone still decided to maintain the 5.25 percent interest rate.

Obviously, although the Fed is aware of the existence of problems, it still believes that the risks are not serious. They focus on inflation and maintain stability.

In addition to the fallen New Century Finance and the meat-cutting Bank of Paris, other corners of the world are also experiencing risks.

Among them, Bear Stearns (one of the leading subprime mortgage funds) has two hedge funds that went bankrupt due to asset problems.

At the same time, the German Industrial Bank, which invested heavily in US subprime mortgage securities, was forced to accept government assistance.

In September, the British savings bank giant North Rock Bank was run on by depositors after failing to raise new debt financing and almost finished.

These risk events seem to occur sporadically, but from the perspective of God, they have merged into a global financial network, and the roots of each event can be traced to home mortgage loans.

But speaking of this matter, the Fed has not opened up, it must only define these financial risks as liquidity risks, and it seems that the European region is more affected.After all, even if there is no subprime mortgage crisis, there will always be problems in the financial industry.

Later, the five central banks that felt something was wrong (the United States, Britain, Canada, Europe, and Switzerland) reached a consensus to maintain the circulation of US dollars through a currency swap agreement. At the same time, the Federal Reserve also created a regular auction tool to reduce liquidity shortages in the form of auctions. Of banks — mainly European branches in the United States — provide loans.

But then, this financial risk event started from the liquidity crisis showed a tendency to shrink credit.

The credit contraction means that the economy slows down, and the economic slowdown will tighten credit again.

It was under such circumstances that Perlman went to China.

In early September.

Blue Butterfly Pictures released "She" on a small scale, and received 11 million US dollars in the first weekend. Audiences who like this theme continue to praise it, but those who don't like it only think that Rory is wordy, I don't know the so-called.

The next week, the drop was over 30%, and the box office in a single day remained at around US$2.4 million. It will be higher on weekends, but it seems that the box office in North America will not exceed 40 million.

However, this movie still brought a lot of benefits to Firefly Pictures.

The first is the financial income. The production budget of this film is 25 million. After Cannes, it will sell overseas distribution copyrights to recover costs and make a small profit. In addition, the North American theater gains, deducting the main creation, tax, labor, and publicity The net profit is roughly US$17 million;

The second is to enhance the company's brand image.Shooting more movies with word-of-mouth and quality will make the audience more expectant for Firefly;

Third, the Coppola family is very satisfied, and the relationship between the two parties can be maintained smoothly.

September 8.

Perlman led the team to successfully set up two contact points in Magic City and Kyoto, responsible for contacting China Film and media companies with strong local strength such as Huayi, Guangxi, Bona, and communicating possible cooperation matters.

Worst of all, you must be familiar with the business.

Originally, according to Perlman's idea, the trip to China could be waited, and Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia should be dealt with first.

Because the Chinese market at this time has little space for Hollywood—before 2012, imported films could only share 13% of the box office revenue, which is equivalent to 1 million box office. Foreign film parties took 130,000 and had to pay taxes. Most of them are eaten by the Chinese side. This is why China Film is sometimes very active in releasing American blockbusters. For the same movie, American blockbusters make more money.

But it seems that my boss attaches great importance to this incompletely developed market.Perlman thought.

The result is very smooth.

China Film Studio has acted as an agent for many film sources of Firefly, and the two parties have cooperated. The establishment of business contacts on distribution is not important to China Film, but it doesn't matter. Multiple friends have multiple paths.

After leaving a portion of the funds and stationed personnel, and recruiting local film talents to better communicate with China, Perlman began to open overseas channels to other parts of Asia...
