Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

Of course, this is the cost price Tony gives to his own people. If someone else were to buy it, it would cost one million US dollars per unit...

It was precisely because the price of getting the camera equipment from Tony was almost as cheap as cabbage...that's why Anna and Happy were so generous when filming.

For example, in order to shoot a shot of Mark I falling from the sky and make the audience feel as if they were there... they directly spent $5 on a machine.

And earlier, to capture the full range of the explosion in the valley and create that stunning effect, the two directors, Anna and Happy, blew up dozens of hidden cameras. Just a few seconds of footage cost a million or two.

And that's just the cost of the explosives, dummies, and dozens of cameras the stunt crew used in that valley. Also, there were munitions, guns, rockets, and so on that were destroyed in the valley...

Hmm! ~

All of them were real, free props donated by Tony. Besides being incredibly realistic, they cost much less than props.

Chapter 035 Malibu Villa Preview

Isn't the big dog divesting the company's weapons business these days and still has inventory on hand?

As the world's largest arms company, their inventory of weapons has not been sold out even after the tearful sales in recent days...

The main reason is that although there are many individual buyers at the market these days, there are still too few individual buyers like Anna who buy dozens or even hundreds of guns of each kind and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time.

The other "big arms dealers" who purchased thousands of guns at the same time, spontaneously joined together to pressure Stark Industries to lower the price, haggling with Stark's sales representatives over the selling price of a few dollars or tens of dollars per gun. Now, the only people who really have the money to buy in large quantities are a few people like Lorraine's mother.

So, under the pretext of filming a movie, Stark brought a large amount of weapons and equipment to the valley to be destroyed...

Tony's uncle Obadiah did not object to this, because this was also a way of telling those buyers who united to lower the price to him, "Even if we have to blow up these weapons for filming, we will never lower the price again."

And the little bit of stuff that was blown up was not much to them.

But no matter what the reason was for Stark to provide these real tools, it saved the crew a lot of money compared to the props they had originally prepared.

In order to speed up the process and, more importantly, save money, Anna even served as a stuntman for the crew. This made the efficiency even more explosive.

For example, the explosion in the valley and the falling shots just now, if they were done by other people in the crew, the stuntmen would have to spend two days on the scene to prepare, and the authenticity might not be very good.

But after Anna got into the fake Mark 1 armor, the entire valley filled with ammunition was filmed from the explosion in the valley to falling into the sand pit in just half a day thanks to the efforts of the stunt team a few kilometers away, including remote-controlled machine guns, remote detonations, and green dummies that were blown away.

When the time comes, all we have to do is edit the footage, and then have Jarvis edit the image and replace the green dummies that are blown everywhere in the shot with terrorist actors.

Then a perfect big scene shot is completed.

The best part is that this extremely dangerous but adrenaline-pumping shot, which was done by someone else, was filmed in a group after Anna got into the Mark I armor...

Not only was the efficiency explosive, but there wasn't even a scratch on the crew...

Anna dared to do this, in addition to saving money and speeding up the production, because the crew was almost entirely Hydra. For example, Anthony, who was not a Hydra member yet, would have no choice but to become a Hydra member after the filming was completed.

As for the other Happy, he knew that she was a person with super powers as early as the day he drove him to the Malibu villa.

boom!

Da da da da…

Bang!

call out!call out!

boom! ! !

In the evening, at the IMIX cinema in Stark's Malibu villa.

Tony and Pepper are watching the footage shot during the day. Next to them are the smug Happy and Anna, the director and deputy director of the "Iron Man" movie.

After the rough cut and Jarvis's post-production, the battle in the valley and the flight in the sky are even more immersive than Tony himself remembers.

Especially when the Mark I armor fell from the sky and hit the camera with a bang, Tony, who was sitting in the IMIX theater, was so scared that he almost jumped out of his seat...

Snapped!

As the lights came on, Anna said proudly to Tony, who was still hesitating whether to make a guest appearance, "How about it... Tony?"

"Based on the skills Happy and I possess, you'll be starring in the film later, right?"

"Uh! ~ Was I really that handsome back then?"

After watching the sample film, Stark had no objection to Anna's request for a cameo role. The film's shots were so explosive that it made him doubt whether he was really that handsome back then...

This is of course a lot of explosions, because the gunfire in the valley and the shots of falling from the sky later on are all real guns and live ammunition. In other movies, there is no such person as Anna who just stands there in a suit and lets them shoot at random with machine guns.

"Don't you know what you were doing at that time?..."

When Anna heard Tony asking her if she was handsome at that time, she looked at Tony with a sidelong glance, a look of contempt on her face.

"Okay!~... It seems that I wasn't that handsome back then..."

After seeing Anna's expression, Stark also reacted.

He knew his own business. Even if he was confident about his appearance, he knew what he looked like at that time.

The malnutrition caused by several months of imprisonment, the new and old injuries on his body, coupled with the urgency of escaping and the fear of danger and the unknown, especially when the Mark I's thrusters suddenly stopped in the sky... He was almost scared to death in the sky!

But the movie is the movie, he is him, and this artistic treatment of the idea...

It didn't stop him from treating the scenes in this movie as the facts that Uncle Stark had experienced.

It also doesn't prevent him from considering this movie as a monumental achievement in his escape from the valley of terrorists, right?

After all, this shot of Happy and the little brat is so handsome!

Such a handsome Stark...

Then it should be appreciated by people all over the world, right?

If he hadn't been busy with the research and development of the Mark II armor during this period, he really wouldn't have been able to find time to film...

The showy Stark almost wanted to kick out the male lead Anthony and play the role of Iron Man in the movie himself.

"Tony, were you really that dangerous?"

After seeing the movie footage that Happy made based on Tony's experience, Pepper's attention was focused elsewhere.

"Uh!~ Actually, it's not that dangerous... How can terrorists have such powerful firepower as in the movies? I just pulled these things directly from the company warehouse..."

"And didn't I escape in the end?"

After seeing Pepper's worry, Stark started talking nonsense without even blushing.

Of course, in reality, the firepower of the terrorists in the valley was no less than that in the movie. After all, among the weapons he destroyed during filming, there was no such thing as the Jellico missile.

"Haha! ~Yeah, yeah!"

"Look, I didn't lose a hair after I came out..."

"So it really wasn't dangerous at all..."

After noticing the look Stark was giving her, Anna continued to talk beside him. However, she had always disdained to lie, and this time she didn't lie at all.

It really wasn't dangerous at all!

Hmm! ~For her, it is like this...

"Okay!~"

"If your future shots are all of this quality, I'll help you get sponsorship..."

After seeing Anna confirming it there, Pepper finally remembered the original intention of her coming here to watch these shots.

That is to say, after receiving Anna's 500 million salary and being listed as the producer of the film, Pepper now needs to work for Anna's Amazon Studios, that is, to obtain advertising fees and sponsorships from those target customers.

And because Anna spent all her remaining money on peripheral production and distribution, the amount of advertising fee she set for Little Pepper this time... was very high.

However, after getting Anna's movie script, advertising storyboards, and the current level of IMIX shooting lenses, Pepper is confident that she can complete the goals set by Anna.

After Pepper promised Anna to go out and get sponsorship for her, Stark could only pout.

For Anna, that little brat, asking Chili Pepper to get sponsorship is clearly just a way to ride on her popularity and use her name to cheat people...

Ugh! ~ If the whole movie is of this quality, it wouldn't be unacceptable to him.

Chapter 036: It won’t work unless it sells for $300 to $400 million

After the crew's running-in over the past few days and the sample films being processed by Jarvis, Stark is now becoming more and more confident about the success of Anna's money-making project.

Although it is undeniable that Anna, this little brat, is exploiting his news value...

In addition to getting him to make a cameo appearance, he also asked him to provide technical support and provide insignificant "movie special effects scenes" in the underground laboratory. He also poached his driver and personal assistant to go out and cheat under the banner of Stark.

But over the past few decades, there have been more and more people in this world who make a living by consuming Stark's news value...

Anna is not a bad choice either.

If everyone was as dedicated as Anna, personally filming the movies, and every movie with him as the protagonist was so well-made and had such amazing special effects... then Tony, this narcissistic guy, would not object to them filming the movies to exploit himself.

Hmm! ~

After all, it's really rare to see a kid like this who makes Stark in the movie look even more handsome than he really is... right?

Anna's decision to make an "Iron Man" movie was not something she just did without prior consideration.

The little brat has already invested a huge amount of 9000 million US dollars in this movie. If she doesn't make back ten or twenty times the revenue from this movie... let's see if she is willing to do that.

Don't think that just because this is the Marvel Universe, it doesn't make much difference from Anna's past life in 2008. Don't think that making a superhero blockbuster in a world full of superpowers doesn't make it any less exciting...

In fact, it was because of the unremitting efforts and cover-ups by SHIELD and Hydra over the years that, in the minds of ordinary people, the Earth in 2008 was a world without superpowers or superheroes, except for Captain America...

And because the top scientists in the Marvel world have no concept of patents, they won't apply for patents...

So although there are a lot of black technologies in this world, except for being used privately by bigwigs in a very small range, the level of technology that ordinary people in this world can access is actually almost exactly the same as Anna's previous life.

So when Anna was filming the "Iron Man" movie, in the perception of ordinary people, not only was there no superpowers or superheroes in this world, but there was also nothing to say about technology.

For example, when Hollywood is making movies, there are still Superman movies and Batman movies. When they are making these superhero movies, they are still using green screens and computer special effects to provide visual expression and adrenaline to the audience.

Moreover, the Marvel Earth in 2008 was in a period of technological transformation in film technology, namely IMAX+3D... It was a time when IMAX theaters were being built all over the world... but there was no real IMAX+3D blockbuster coming out to fill the market gap.

There's a big shot in Hollywood right now who's really working on a movie that's almost identical to "Avatar"...

However, this famous director who turned into a truck driver in the Marvel world is not a very prolific person either...so when his "Avatar" is to be released, it will have to wait until 2009 at the latest.

And when his movie was finished and released in 2009...

The world is already full of news about Iron Man!

But by then, after Iron Man, one superhero and super criminal after another had been revealed in the Marvel Universe. With so many real-life stories and iron-clad superheroes to support, would people in this world still be willing to go to the cinema to watch the fictional story of Pandora and human rape that the truck driver had spent years filming?

This is hard to say.

It can even be said that by that time, it would be a blessing if the size of the global film market is not directly halved by real superheroes.

By that time, if three or five of the major Hollywood studios had gone bankrupt, she would not be called Anna Broughton.

So Anna doesn't feel embarrassed at all for snatching the truck driver's opportunity and using another driver, Happy, to shoot the world's first true IMIX+3D "Iron Man" movie in advance.

In addition, Anna's IMIX+3D "Iron Man" is not only the first IMIX+3D movie, but also the first movie to tell the story of the kidnapping of super billionaire Tony Stark.

It is also the world's first movie about a real superhero.

It is also the first movie in which both the protagonists and the antagonists fight with real weapons, with almost no special effects, and it is almost like a documentary about real events.

And for the sake of the visuals and excitement of the shots, a lot of Stark's munitions were blown up in Anna's film. In the subsequent tracking 'shoots', buildings and highways would also be demolished...

And she, a five-star photographer who could move at 10,000 meters and 10 times the speed of sound, personally took charge of the filming. She even wore out 200 Alexa 65 IMAX cameras without blinking an eye...

If we really count all these into the cost, the production cost of this sky-breaking film will not be just over a billion dollars.

, and a big movie with various Easter eggs...

Can Pandora's Box Office, which grossed $27 billion, have as many explosive halos as Anna's movie?

Especially after the big event of 'I Am Iron Man' in a few weeks, if Anna's movie doesn't make $300 to $400 million at the box office... it would be a shame for the brain cells and efforts that the little brat spent on filming this time.

You could even say that.
