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

However, no matter how unhappy these people were, it was useless, because Hydra had always been an evil organization that respected the strong, and there was no tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young. No matter how unhappy these people were, they could only hold it in. If they didn't still hold some ancient secrets and power, these guys would have been wiped out by the Hydra after World War II.

Anna's mother, Lorraine, was probably just like the Red Skull more than five years ago. She directly found the Malik family hiding behind NASA, and then used super strength, super speed, super flight, and summoned tornadoes and lightning in front of these cultists. After a lot of beatings...

Mother Lorraine, who came to the Malik family to apply for a job, successfully became a nominal senior cadre in the Malik family branch of the Hydra organization.

After this, the Malik family not only had to provide Ms. Lorraine with various resources and connections, but was also responsible for recruiting subordinates for her.

At the beginning, the thousands of younger brothers that Lorraine brought to the farm were all employees who were "poached" from various Hydra branches around the world through the Malik family's channels.

These guys with murky backgrounds and ulterior motives, like undercover agents, traitors, or whatever, if you weren't one, you'd be too embarrassed to go out and greet others... In Hydra, there's no such honest person!

However, in Hydra, an organization that believes in respecting the strong, no conspiracy or trick can withstand the cheating of Lorraine's mother, after she performed several superpower activities of strolling in outer space.

In just over five years, all those traitors who were sent from all over the world to Anna's family became Lorraine's mother's fanatical followers and loyal followers...

These delivery boys not only work diligently on the farm for Lorraine's mother, such as farming, digging holes, working, and building houses, but also hand over all the intelligence and connections from their original organizations to Lorraine's mother.

Then, with the strong support and generous contributions of the Hydra bosses, Anna's family's Hydra company successfully went public through a backdoor listing using other people's resources. Anna's mother Lorraine naturally became a newly rising giant in the Hydra organization.

Anna, the little brat who hangs out every day, has unknowingly become the second generation of Hydra, who is wanted by the superheroes in the Marvel world.

However, just like the Malik family within the organization, each Hydra is different. For example, the Hydra branch of Anna's family has never committed any major crimes that would incur public outrage. In certain hotspots, they have become a new pillar of regional stability, relying on their hundreds of nuclear warheads.

So Anna doesn't have to worry about being blocked at her doorstep and beaten to death by a superhero in the future.

Furthermore, under the operation of Lorraine's mother, after doing a lot of half-white and half-black things for the government and capitalists over the years, their branch of Hydra has almost become a semi-public peripheral official organization of the US government and the CIA...

This foundation is much cleaner than those shady government departments such as the Sentinelese Special Service, the Weapon X Program, and Kingpin's criminal empire.

Anyway, no one knows what the Malik family, Lorraine's mother's nominal boss, thinks now, but with their network of thousands of younger brothers brought from other branches, Ms. Lorraine has started some business cooperation with various branches through the underground network of Hydra.

For example, she contributed to the construction of a secret space station for the Malik family and NASA's space development.

The intelligence network she provided was dedicated to Hydra and consisted of more than 2,000 satellites in space.

There are also internal promotional videos and recruitment announcements shot by Lorraine's Denver & Delilah Film Company for major branches and leaders.

These are things that the Hydra organization is not suitable to do openly, but they are not so heinous and the rewards are high. Now they are the main business of this Hydra under Lorraine's name to other branches.

Of course, as a qualified Hydra, they are good at letting other government departments and other organizations pay their agents' salaries and provide daily expenses, and then secretly laying eggs underground.

So, not to mention that many of the guys on the farm, including herself, were affiliated with the CIA, even the employees of Lorraine's Denver & Delilah Film Company, from the studio assistants, lighting technicians, photographers, makeup artists, prop masters to professional screenwriters, actors, and directors...

Although they are employees of Hydra under Lorraine's mother, when they are not working, they are actually supported by other film companies...

The real Hydra, Denver & Delilah Film Company, only needs to pay the expenses of a front desk lady on weekdays.

Look, who did Anna learn her stinginess from? Now it's clear.

Chapter 033 Filming in Progress (Part 2)

This time, Lorraine's mother built a film crew and set personnel for Anna in two days. Except for the male lead, Happy and Pepper, all of them were extremely luxurious in her company, and they were all top-notch professionals from Hydra's publicity department.

Whether it's the professionalism of the employees or their motivation, they're superior to their peers in all aspects...

Like what other Hollywood people ask for...

Only work eight hours a day? And demand a comfortable work environment? And demand a promotion and a raise? And demand supervision from unions and lawyers? And demand safety during stunt filming? And demand fruit, drinks, masseuses, and showers and restrooms in the desert?

nonexistent!

The employees on the set are now eager to work 48 hours a day. The sooner the film is finished, the better. The lower the salary, the better. If it is not given, that would be even better...

And things like the dangers of filming, and the treatment on set?

That's not a big deal...

This is how dedicated everyone is to art!

When everyone was working, their efficiency and dedication were many times higher than what they saw on other crews. Everyone was so dedicated and selfless that the male lead, who was filming on the crew, was completely stunned...

This caused the male protagonist to always suspect that the crews he had been in before were all fake Hollywood crews, which was why he had done so poorly before.

……

But unlike the male protagonist who was doubting his life, Happy, who was the boss on the set, didn't have so many things to worry about. The fat driver who was now directing more than 200 people running around on the set must have had a great time.

You have to know that the bodyguards under Stark's command actually only have about twenty people, and when they run, they are not as spectacular as they are on the set now.

It was as if he had found his life's purpose. Happy was now radiating with energy. His enthusiasm and hard work were beyond words.

In addition, his staff are very capable and obedient, and they don't bully him at all as a novice in Hollywood. So Happy is now very satisfied with the directing job recommended to him by Anna.

In addition to the $5 million salary that the male protagonist received, although Happy did not intend to quit his bodyguard job at Stark's side, he now had a very good impression of Anna, the little brat who made shocking remarks.

So, Happy's enthusiasm for filming this movie is naturally as positive as the employees on the set...

Happy's morale was so high that the Hydra employees from several crews on the set were privately confused and asked each other when this fat Stark bodyguard joined Hydra...

What do you think? Next time we meet, should we secretly shout a slogan to the director to improve our relationship?

……

"Director!~ We are all ready..."

Following a loud shout from a staff member in the distance, all the miscellaneous behind-the-scenes staff evacuated the filming location.

The fat driver Happy also checked all the shots at the scene one last time, as well as the various mechanisms in the distant valley set, dozens of green dummies, and dozens of hidden cameras, after confirming that everything was fine.

Happy took the loudspeaker and shouted to the special effects team and the camera crew: "Action! Scene 24 begins!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter!

Clap clap clap!

boom! ! ! !

In the distant valley, controlled by the stuntman's remote control, there were various sounds of gunfire, RPG explosions, and the sound of blazing flamethrowers spraying out from the arms of the "Mark 1 Armor".

Finally, with a deafening bang...

Just like what happened somewhere in Afghanistan a few days ago, with the crackling sound of ammunition exploding, a mushroom cloud about a hundred meters high rose in the valley.

Amidst the fireworks-like bursts of light, a Mark 1 armored aircraft with a blazing white light emanating from its tail flew out...

Just like in the Afghan desert before, this 'Mark 1 Armored' ran out of fuel in mid-air, and after a few puffs, it fell in an arc in front of the crew, trailing a trail of black smoke.

“Ah!~Ah ...

Whoosh! ~~

boom! ! ! !

After this arc secretly changed its angle a little bit in the sky, the 'Mark 1 Armor' in the sky hit a camera whose lens was facing the sky.

Then, in front of Happy and other staff members, a large pit filled with scattered metal parts appeared.

"Wow!~"

Behind the camera, Happy was startled by the 'Mark 1 Armor' that fell from the sky right at the camera. He was so nervous that his adrenaline was rushing, but he hadn't finished sighing yet.

A little kid jumped out from the pile of metal parts scattered on the ground in the big pit.

As she jumped out, Anna, a little brat with a black face, pointed and yelled at the crew: "Anthony! Where is Anthony! ~..."

"Hurry up and lie down in the pit..."

"That's where I was lying just now! Hurry up..."

"And the makeup team is preparing. Anthony's makeup will be done like mine now..."

"Here it comes... Here it comes! I'll lie down right away!~"

Anthony, the male protagonist who looks very similar to Stark, was standing next to the big pit. After seeing Anna coming out, he trotted into the pit and lay down. Then several props team and makeup artists surrounded him, some covered him with armor parts, some buried sand, some picked up the broken camera parts, and some put on makeup. A lot of people surrounded him, the male protagonist, and he was busy in the big pit.

Anna, who fell straight down from the sky without any problem, took advantage of the time when Anthony was preparing in the pit and ran to Happy to watch the filming effect of the movie.

Well, now Anna is not only the producer of the film, but also the assistant director, the royal photographer and the stunt person for dangerous shots...

After they finished filming the scene where the terrorists found parts of Mark's armor, they were now filming the stunt shot of Tony flying out of the valley in Afghanistan.

As a witness and a local, Anna was incredibly familiar with the situation and the valley. So, in just half a day, she had set up this "Valley of Terrorists."

Apart from the green dummies strapped to the remote-controlled machine guns and hiding behind the bunkers, even the placement of guns, ammunition, vehicles, and sundries... are almost exactly the same as they were back then.

With the help of her super memory and super vision, the realism of this valley was so great that not only Stark who had sex with people in the valley for a few minutes, but even the terrorists who came might have thought they were back home a few days ago in a trance.

It works.

There are also special videos in which people use Anthony's name to impersonate a dog owner... So over time, his name became Anthony.

Chapter 034: Great Way to Save Money on Filming

After mutually agreeing on cooperation and supervision.

To expedite filming for Iron Man, Anna and the cash-rich Stark hustled to build five sets of Mark I armor in their basement over the previous two days. The pile of parts that emerged from the sand in the previous shot, and the one Anna was wearing that fell from the sky and hit the camera just now, breathing fire and smoke, are two of the Mark I armor sets.

Of course, they are not short of money, but apart from the most important Ark Reactor, the Mark I's components like stepper motors, flamethrowers, and electric motors are all common stuff. Besides having no technical content... they are also worthless things, so the total cost of each set of Mark I armor is actually less than 100,000 US dollars.

After Tony provided the blueprints, the steel shells for five sets of Mark I armor took the legendary Kryptonian blacksmith Anna only two hours to create. This included welding and grinding.

If you don't count the labor cost of Anna, the Kryptonian Superman, the cost of the steel shells of all five sets of Mark I armor is less than $1000.

Of course, since this is a movie, the Ark reactor on the chest of Mark's armor is actually a LED artwork light bulb that Anna made by hand in a one-to-one ratio with the original reactor.

Apart from the lack of the power generation function, this thing is almost indistinguishable from the real thing in terms of appearance and light, and each one costs less than $20.

Anna, a money-grubber who never misses any opportunity to make money, after she got the LED light bulb for the "Ark Reactor", she instructed Pepper, the only one in the crew who was not a Hydra, to contact the OEM factory that specialized in making this thing.

Anyway, as soon as the Iron Man movie is released, Anna will sell these peripherals in the cinema for $200 each, which only cost about $10 after mass production...

Of course, there are peripherals like Iron Man T-shirts, red and yellow stainless steel action figures, Mark III armored helmets, LED armored gloves... Anna also asked Pepper to find all the OEM factories in the coastal areas of a big country.

If it is a larger cinema, each one will give away a full set of proportional stainless steel armor models from Mark I to Mark III and Iron Monger when the movie is released.

Save a few dollars on shipping and avoid customs duties or something...

Anna, the little brat, also secretly ran several times during the past few nights, and explored the transportation routes between those OEM factories and several box office warehouses in different countries.

Anyway, for this wave of big business related to the "Iron Man" movie, Anna used the $9000 million in her hand, except for the $1500 million she paid to the male lead, Happy and Pepper, and the rest was all invested in the OEM factory that produced these peripherals.

As for the money you mentioned for filming now...

Ha! ~ Anna didn't spend a penny of her money on this film until now!

For example, the salaries of the crew members other than Happy and the other three...

I’ll owe it to you first!

The cost of renting lights, recording, cranes, vehicles, props, as well as costumes, makeup, etc...

Buy it on credit first!

If consumables like lunch boxes, drinks, and mineral water on set can't be bought on credit...

Then let the younger brothers in my mother's mainland hotel drive it over. After it comes, I can even grab a bag and use it as a free extra or something.

Anyway, if I have to let the little brat pay now...

That is impossible!

Even the $2000 million that Tony invested later was basically used to customize props from Tony and purchase filming equipment.

For example, the five sets of Mark I armor without arc reactors used for filming cost a total of $500,000.

As for the Mark II, Mark III and Iron Monger that will appear in the movie later... Anna had no intention of custom-making movable models. The shots in the movie either rely on Tony wearing the authentic armor for a friendly cameo, or when Tony fights Obaday, Anna will personally carry the camera for a face-to-face shot. The important thing is to shoot on the real scene.

The biggest prop Anna spent on Tony was 200 IMIX-level cameras produced on Jarvis' underground assembly line...

If the camera provided by Tony is compared with the similar camera in Anna's previous life, it can be regarded as Arri's Alexa 65 IMAX special edition digital camera.

The two have similar functions and technological capabilities. However, the Alexa 65 IMAX camera from the previous generation was only manufactured by Arri, and its production was limited, so it was only available for rent and not for sale. It was said that the cost of production, including R&D expenses, was as much as $4 to $5 million per unit.

However, thanks to Tony's advanced technology and the cost-savings of Jarvis' automated production lines, the 200 Imix cameras Tony provided to the crew were priced at $5 per unit by Anna. This expense alone accounted for half of Tony's $2000 million investment.
