Now I Am Your King
Li Chen decided to visit the set of "Game of Thrones".
Although it was only planned to be a trial run of one or two episodes, the production team still spent a lot of money.
Basically, the first season will cost six million dollars per episode.
Looking at this era, it's quite exaggerated.
It's worth noting that many low-budget films don't cost that much.
For example, some horror movies can be made with a budget of only a few hundred thousand dollars.
Six million dollars is enough to make at least ten low-budget horror movies.
That's why Paramount and Lionsgate had some doubts and felt they couldn't handle it...
Upon arriving outside the film set, Li Chen spotted Cyclops.
Clearly, the other person was worried about the zither, so they followed along.
Anyway, nothing much is happening at the Mutants Academy right now.
Li Chen immediately smiled, rolled down the car window, and said to the security guard, "No outsiders can be allowed in."
"Yes!"
The security guards clearly recognized Li Chen and immediately began to perform their duties diligently.
Only Li Qianhuan, the driver, sensed something was wrong.
After getting out of the car, she acted as Li Chen's bodyguard, following him around and looking him over.
The crew had quite a few familiar faces, including Kitty Pryde and several pioneers, as well as Rogue who came in with Jean Grey.
However, her distinctive white hair had to be covered by a wig, since every character has a specific persona.
If a character has red hair in a book but appears with a tuft of white hair in a photo, it's impossible for the film not to be criticized.
Mr. Li.
"His Majesty."
They addressed each other differently, but they all clearly showed great respect for Li Chen.
Li Chen patted their heads. "How was the filming? Was it tiring?"
"It's not hard work."
Kitty Pryde acted just like a real cat, even rubbing her head against Li Chen's palm.
If Li Chen really wanted to devour them like an emperor, they wouldn't refuse.
This feeling of having everything under control made Li Chen somewhat intoxicated.
No wonder everyone wanted to be emperor after Qin Shi Huang died.
Li Chen chatted with them for a while longer.
Until Jean Grey finished filming.
Jean Grey was dressed as a queen, looking elegant and dignified, which suited her perfectly.
This was something even Li Chen found hard to bear.
The filming location for "Lin Dong City" is actually Castle Ward in Northern Ireland.
However, due to the uncertain future of the production team, they are currently only scouting locations and then using computer-generated special effects to composite the footage.
Once the design is finalized, we'll move everything over there for filming.
Hollywood is quite clever when it comes to saving money.
Nowadays, film crews rarely shoot in Los Angeles anymore, mainly because set productions look somewhat artificial, and everyone prefers practical effects.
Secondly, there are subsidies for filming in other places, which can save money.
Li Chen grabbed his violin and headed straight for her trailer.
"Li, don't do that, everyone's watching."
"That'll let them know whose woman you are."
Li Chen didn't care.
What's this in Hollywood?
Based on Li Chen's actions, he could even be considered a morally upright and good person in Hollywood.
In this environment where everyone is worse than him, everyone else is far worse.
Scott is still outside.
Qin then reminded her.
"I saw him, so isn't that even more exciting?"
Li Chen, holding the harp's chin, said, "Queen Cersei, I am now your king."
Qin quickly succumbed to temptation.
She is essentially a person who enjoys excitement.
So ever since she started following Li Chen, she hasn't let Cyclops get close to her.
The main concern was that Li Chen might misunderstand.
When Cyclops finally finished filming, he noticed that the other crew members were looking at him strangely.
It's like the color of the hat he's wearing on his head.
But Cyclops didn't look around; he wore glasses, so it was difficult for him to look around.
Finally, Qin, her face beaming with joy, came out.
"Qin, are you tired today?"
I'm really tired.
Qin was just going through the motions; if Li Chen hadn't liked it this way, she would have kicked Cyclops out long ago.
Cyclops at the piano hiding from him and couldn't help but feel regret.
He shouldn't have doubted Qin.
How could Qin betray him? She must have been too tired from running that day.
Just then, Cyclops saw several people emerge from inside.
Li Chen was embracing Rogue, Kitty Pryde, and others, surrounded by several Mutants girls who were all smiles and fawning over him.
At that moment, Cyclops felt these Mutants girls were truly despicable.
"Shit."
He cursed under his breath, wishing he wasn't Li Chen, and quickly left.
In reality, Li Chen simply took Kitty and the others out for a meal.
Even so, the mere clashes between a few girls were enough to give him immense pleasure.
No matter how much they make a fuss, Li Chen will ultimately be the one who benefits.
They would do everything they could to please Li Chen.
It was an experience fit for royalty.
The next day, Li Chen visited the set again.
However, this time he went to the set of "Iron Man" with Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy.
The production crew is still preparing; Li Chen mainly brought people over to introduce them.
"Tony, how's Los Angeles?"
"As expected of the City of Angels."
Tony was having a blast and was still wearing his beach shorts.
He glanced at the two beauties beside Li Chen. Although they were both very pretty, he didn't like those who were already taken.
Of course, Tony was still very dedicated.
Although he was having fun, he also took some time to watch two superhero movies produced by Starlight Pictures.
He seemed somewhat indifferent to Superman, even a little sleepy at the beginning, since the poor boy's life on the Kansas farm didn't resonate with him at all.
He was a genius from a young age; a mediocre life was simply not for him.
On the contrary, it was Batman that Tony felt a strong sense of identification with the character.
He greatly admired Bruce Wayne's lifestyle of being a tycoon by day and changing brides every day, while at night he would be a superhero.
So he said to Li Chen, "Li, the Batman movie is so well made, it's exactly like me."
"You?"
Li Chen doubted that he had heard correctly.
"That's right, I have to eat, drink, and have fun every day to make others think I'm wasting my time, but actually I'm working hard to build the Iron Man Armor so I can be a superhero and save the world!"
Tony said, completely shameless.
"Let's film Iron Man in this style."
"No, we have to film according to the script."
Li Chen said expressionlessly, "Even Tony shouldn't be messed with."
Otherwise, if Iron Man is portrayed as a perfect and heroic figure, what would be the point of watching movies?
Everyone knows he's a playboy.
In fact, Tony was quite satisfied with the script, after all, it included his own transformation.
He was dissatisfied with some parts of the adaptation, such as Yinsen dying in the script, even though he was rescued with him and is now living a life of luxury.
"Never mind that, this is Mary Jane, she's my girlfriend, and she plays Pepper Potts in the movie."
Tony immediately understood what he meant, and simply laughed, "Wouldn't you call this favoritism and corruption?"
"No, we paid for it. Stark Industries sent someone to play the male lead, so it's normal for me to have someone play the female lead."
Li Chen's reasoning was impeccable.
"... You've fallen flat on your face, so you'll get yelled at."
Tony Stark cursed.
