    April 10th was the day when filming of "Spider-Man" officially started. Early in the morning, Lee Chung-hee rushed to the crew, but director Sam Raimi and new producer Kevin Feige told him that there was no way to start work today.  % Lee Chung Hee only arrived at the crew for filming on the 10th, but the crew arrived in New York early to prepare, because this time there will be a lot of real scenes in New York, and the most troublesome part of shooting the real scenes is naturally the location.  The venue during the day is especially difficult, as it requires permission from New York City¡¯s transportation, health, fire, municipal and other relevant departments.  "What's going on?" Li Zhengxi asked Sam Remy in confusion. He knew that the crew came to New York ten days ago to make relevant preparations, not to mention the preparations made early in the morning when preparing for the early viewing.  Waiting for work.  Sam Raimi smiled bitterly, "We were so 'lucky' at the timing. "Terminator 3" and "Anti-Terrorism Squad" happened to be filming at the beginning of spring, and then, because of the following,  During Easter, people from the New York City government said that they would not be allowed to film during those days to prepare for the holiday" Kevin Feige also reluctantly added, "If this continues, we won't be able to start filming until May.  " "Spider-Man 2" was originally planned to start shooting at the end of February, but due to some things and the fact that the protagonist Lee Jung-hee was competing for the Oscar for Best Actor, it was postponed to April. If it were to be May  , that¡¯s another month.  The crew¡¯s preparations were okay, and they accepted the preparations. If they had to wait for filming, it would have cost more time and money.  Because many of them are under contract.  Such as actors.  You can't keep putting it off. Others may have to go to another crew after filming your film. How can you afford to delay it for a month?  Lee Chung-hee is a good example. He has three films to shoot today, and his time is already very tight.  "Be specific," Lee Chung-hee looked at Kevin Feige, who is the producer.  He was the protagonist of more external public relations. "Is it that the department doesn't allow it, or is everything stuck!" Kevin Feige, later the president of Marvel Studios and a super big shot among producers  , especially for Marvel Comics, but now he is just a rookie who has just debuted and gained recognition with "X-Men".  Originally, the last "Spider-Man" was supposed to be produced by him.  Perhaps due to system reasons, he became an old acquaintance of Li Zhengxi.  Awell is now helping to produce films for Empire Pictures.  If Lee Chung-hee takes over Marvel in the future, he will also recruit Kevin Feige. He is indeed a guy with great production talent and market vision, and he understands the taste of the audience very well.  "Firefighting and sanitation have little to do with each other, so it's okay to talk about it, but transportation and municipal administration are a bit troublesome," Kevin Feige heard Li Zhengxi ask, but he thought of something smartly and answered immediately.  Lee Chung-hee is a New Yorker. With his family¡¯s current status, the influence in New York cannot be matched by guys like Kevin Feige or even Columbia Pictures.  Sure enough, after Li Zhengxi frowned, he told Sam Remy about other preparations here, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.  Li Shixi is preparing to run for city council. Unlike other city councils, the New York City City Council is divided into the upper house and the lower house, that is, the Senate and the House of Representatives. It is unified. This is the only one in the United States. Therefore, the New York City City Council has  The weight is heavier and the authority is greater than anywhere else.  But just like other places, every two years, some members whose terms have expired retire and are replaced by others. Lee Se-hee is preparing to run for office next year. Because of this, he has a strong influence on the power structure of New York City with the help of his family.  Enough understanding.  Li Zhengxi called him first. After roughly understanding who he wanted to find more reliable, he did not ask Li Shixi to help find someone directly, because it would have a bad impact on Li Shixi's subsequent election. Although he was not afraid, it would leave an excuse for others.  Very bad.  The political campaign in the United States can be seen from Mark Twain's "Running for Governor", not to mention that its true ferocity is even worse.  "You and I will go take a look first," Lee Chung-hee greeted Kevin Feige, and then said to Sam Raimi: "There may be nothing you can do today, but you have the crew ready to start work at any time, don't let your heart wander!"  Sam Remy was of course happy that he took the initiative to help, and knowing his energy, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will never let these bastards go to the nightclub, and of course, that includes myself." Traffic and municipal administration, just  Essentially, if you want to shoot here, you can shoot it. You have to pay some money anyway, and you can get money if you hire someone to help. However, if things go wrong and people complain, it will not only be a problem for the crew, but they will also have to pay for it.  Bad luck follows. ?Especially when the grand Easter is coming in a few days, they will be even more unwilling to cause this trouble.  Li Zhengxi first went to the city hall in the lower city. He was looking for the person in charge of the municipal department. By coincidence, he met Mayor Bloomberg as soon as he arrived in the lobby.  Li Zhengxi did not see him immediately, but was about to enter the corridor on the other side. Instead, Bloomberg came out from the side and called him with a smile, "Hi, Vincent," "Hello, Mr. Mayor.  ," Li Zhengxi smiled and turned around to shake hands with him. The two had met several times at high-society dinners in New York, and they were fellow students at Harvard Business School, so they had a good relationship. Among them, when he was running for mayor, the Li family paid  He raised US$100,000 in campaign funds. At the same time, his Bloomberg company, at the beginning of last year, the Li family¡¯s Empire Investment owned 6% of the equity and was the fifth largest shareholder of the company.  "Just call me Michael," Bloomberg said with a smile, "Or you can call me senior brother," and then looked at him curiously, "Why did you come here? Are you looking for your elder brother? But he is now  I don¡¯t work here.¡± Listening to his light-hearted joking, Li Zhengxi thought to himself that this old boy can talk, and shrugged, ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. I originally planned to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing you¡± Bloomberg.  Hehe smiled, "Really, I don't think you want to see an old man like me," and glanced at Kevin Feige again, "Where is Her Royal Highness Princess Alice? Aren't you supposed to be with her? Why bring a man with you today?  " "Okay, I can admit my mistake. I shouldn't have bothered you proactively, so I owe you a meal," Li Zhengxi begged for mercy, and then said with a smile: "It's really a small matter, but since it happened  You, I might as well just bother you." At this point, there is nothing to hide, and I talked about the difficulties encountered during the filming of "Spider-Man".  "That's it," Bloomberg glanced at him with a smile, and then glanced at Kevin Feige, "Shouldn't this be done by those people? You have good intentions!" Kevin Feige had an old face.  Hong, he has been running around these days. He has made many trips, invited people to eat, stuffed red envelopes, basically done it all, but the effect is not great. It just takes a while.  Li Zhengxi actually smiled, "I can't help it. I'm very busy this year. If they delay it, it will be my time, so I have to take the initiative." Bloomberg nodded, and Li Zhengxi spoke, which meant that it was owed.  His favor, this is what matters, let alone such a small matter, of course he is willing to help, so he said to the chief of staff next to him, "You and Mr. Fitch go and arrange the matter," and then said to Li Zhengxi: "  Let¡¯s go, I was just going to talk to you about something. It¡¯s almost noon now. Let¡¯s have dinner together.¡± Bloomberg said this. Why didn¡¯t Kevin Feige understand? He politely left with his chief of staff.  , Li Zhengxi glanced at his watch, it was just after ten o'clock, lunch, luckily he could think of it.  However, since he had something to say, Li Zhengxi naturally couldn't refuse, so he got in the car with him.  As the car drove out, Bloomberg closed the partition in front so that the driver in front could not hear what they were saying. Then he looked at him and said, "Have you heard your brother say recently that there is an ongoing crisis in the city?"  To rectify the appearance of the entire city of New York" Li Zhengxi nodded, "I have heard of it," and pretended to be surprised: "Not to mention that my brother is not a city councilor, even if he is, I don't have much idea.  It¡¯s a big deal, you suddenly told me this, I feel guilty¡± Bloomberg smiled helplessly, knowing that he should not be treated as a twenty-year-old kid, otherwise he would not be able to say anything today.  Then he said: "I have discussed with your father before. Although Manhattan was very bad and messy at the end of the last century, if the city appearance is well improved, the real estate industry still has brilliant prospects, but he seems a little worried.  !¡± The two mayors at the end of the last world basically destroyed New York City, especially Manhattan, but with the last mayor, the situation began to change. However, the terrorist attacks in 2001 put New York into trouble again.  It has to be said that although Bloomberg is a very treacherous guy, his contribution to New York City cannot be erased.  For example, although he said that he did not receive a penny in remuneration during his term as mayor, his personal wealth increased from more than 800 million U.S. dollars when he took office at the end of 2001 to more than 30 billion U.S. dollars when he left office in 2013.  Exactly more than 40 times, this is another reason why Imperial Investment bought the shares of Bloomberg, besides Bloomberg being the most authoritative media.  Of course, his assets have increased and the situation in New York City has also improved. For example, Manhattan has once again become the center of the world. The fiscal deficit has reached more than 4 billion US dollars before he took office.From the abundant finances when he left office, etc., these are the reasons why New Yorkers, including the big guys behind him, recognize him even if he seeks his own benefit.  It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
