Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

The latter is usually more talked about than the former, and those who are picked out will naturally be put on the pillar of shame, becoming the subject of jokes for a long time, or even being unable to get rid of it for life.

As for whether there are production teams with enough money to replace a whole group of people in one scene, I can't say for sure.

However, by using makeup, changing hairstyles, and wearing different clothes, it is actually difficult to distinguish them when the subject is not in focus.

As long as there is no obvious conflict, using a fixed group of passers-by actors is actually more beneficial to the production team within the constraints of the contract.

After all, they are people who have auditioned. If a new group is replaced every time a scene is shot, the workload will increase dramatically.

Henry was unexpectedly assigned a submariner's uniform. This is considered a villain role in the film, and they have the opportunity to fight the protagonist, so most of the roles were handled by the action teams, with few individual players like Henry.

However, when Henry received the clothes from the prop master, he was stunned by the sympathetic look in his eyes. It was as if someone would open a door and ask if he had washed his butt clean in the next second.

Fortunately, that didn't happen. The Kryptonian hiding in Hollywood successfully became a member of the Devil Warrior production team.

Chapter 61 Exclusive Restaurant

"Chef, give me a steak. I feel so hungry that I could eat a cow."

Henry came to the restaurant in the rest area of ​​the set, where there was an exclusive team of chefs hired by the production team.

The chef is a black man with a wide frame, probably one of those people with a waist that's almost as wide as his height. No one knows for sure if he knows how to cook, but you can be sure he knows how to eat.

The chef walked out of the lounge, adjusting his chef's hat. Even though there wasn't a single hair on his head that could fall into the food, he still meticulously groomed himself.

When Lao Hei saw the person coming, he laughed heartily and said, "Henry, the filming has just ended."

Henry picked a few flavors from the overflowing donut table and piled a plate full. He poured himself a cup of black coffee and said, "There's nothing I can do. The director has very high standards for the visuals. If there's any mistake in the positioning, we have to start over."

"Every time everyone fails, the props team has to reset everything before reshooting. If they keep doing this for a few times, it would be strange if they could save time."

"It's not you who's holding them back, is it?" Lao Hei said with a smile while frying steak.

"If I were the one holding back, I'd still be listening to the assistant director's lecture. I could have come to you for dinner first, you know."

Lao Hei asked curiously, "Could it be that those two groups are looking for trouble again?"

Henry grumbled, stuffing his mouth with a donut, "There are three producers alone. Unless Mr. Siegel steps in, no one will submit. It's only natural that when the player plays chess, the pieces suffer."

Besides lead actor and producer Steven Seagal, the other two producers each had their own supporters within the team. They might not dare to openly confront or sabotage the production, but they would certainly try to make things difficult for their opponents.

"Then how did you manage to stay safe? Do you have a stronger backer? Tell me."

"Why would I rely on an underwater volcano? I'm just a random actor signed by the Screen Actors Guild, a retail investor, not even qualified to be a pawn. How could anything implicate me? Besides, no one's watching me, isn't that better?"

Henry was speaking the truth. As a relatively unknown figure on the set, he was happily getting freeloaders from his boss. Thinking back to his own dreams before crossing over, they'd simply been about doing nothing all day and still getting paid. Now that they'd been realized, how could he be dissatisfied?

So as a passerby actor with no background or backing, Henry had no one to take care of him. While being ostracized by all parties, he was also like sitting in a special seat watching the show.

Anyway, the pay can't get any lower. Even if there's no last shot, and it's all cut out in the editing, I'll get a day's pay for every day I'm with the cast!

After flipping the steak over, Lao Hei asked again, "I heard that Erica Elanico joined the crew today. Have you seen her? Is she as hot as Shawnee in Baywatch?"

He gulped down his coffee and swallowed the donut in his mouth. Henry exclaimed in amazement, "Oh my God, you can't imagine what it feels like to see her in person."

"I was so close, I could almost feel her orchid-like breath. I could see the pulse of blood flowing through her skin. A turn of her head, a flick of her hair, a frown, a smile—everything was vividly played out before my eyes.

"This feeling can't be obtained from a screen, whether it's a TV screen or a big screen in a movie theater. You have to see her with your own eyes to feel that kind of living beauty.

"No wonder so many wealthy and powerful people aren't satisfied with just seeing them on screen. They're willing to pay a hefty price just to get a glimpse of them."

Henry's words were not an exaggeration at all. When they met by chance on the set, even though he had seen all the D-slot goddesses before the time travel, his eyes were attracted by her beautiful face and nice figure.

This was a real lesson for Henry, who thought he had seen countless women. What you see on the screen is really different from seeing the person in person.

Old Black used a large fork to press the steak onto the iron plate, making a sizzling sound. He grinned and said, "Madfake, just listening to what you said makes me crazy.

"You know, Erica made her film debut in Steven Spielberg's sci-fi blockbuster, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, playing a school girl who has her first kiss with the main character. I thought she was so adorable.

"When she became a Playboy magazine Playmate in July 1989, announcing her high-profile return to the entertainment industry, I was really looking forward to her performance. Shawni in Baywatch made me fall in love with this girl completely.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen her come to the restaurant to eat until today. Otherwise, I would definitely treat her with my signature dishes and make her fall in love with me after eating them."

Lao Hei put the fried steak on a plate and brought it to Henry, who had finished most of the donuts.

Since it's not a regular steak restaurant, there are no side dishes besides the steak. If you want vegetables, the salad bar has everything.

Henry skillfully cut into pieces with his knife and fork, stuffed a bite into his mouth, and began his usual criticism. "I really don't mean to be disrespectful. Chef, did you learn your cooking skills from the British or the Germans?"

Lao Hei grinned, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth. He said, "Even if your taste is pickier than a Michelin star, my Le Cordon Bleu diploma is not fake."

Henry sneered as he continued to eat his steak, "That's all the stuff they teach at Le Cordon Bleu!"

Looking over, I saw a plate full of carbohydrates. Whether it tasted good or not was another matter, but it was definitely filling. It was steak, cooked in a rather unrefined, cowboy-style style.

If a Michelin three-star chef saw this, they would have a cerebral hemorrhage first.

Blackie said with disdain, "Come on. No matter how good the food is, delicious or not, it can all be swallowed up in America with tomato sauce. Believe it or not, my baked snails wouldn't be any more popular than those donuts over there."

"So, you're just being perfunctory like that. Did you underpay the production team?"

Lao Hei said seriously, "To be honest, the salary is quite high. But I also find it strange. I usually prepare food for those wealthy people, and I take care of everything from the wine to the top-quality ingredients.

"This is my first time being the exclusive chef for a film production team, and I have to be available 24 hours a day. If the pay was less, I wouldn't have taken on such a job."

Henry asked, "Didn't some producer hire your team?"

"I've met those people, but their circle wouldn't hire me. At first, I thought I might run into former clients on set, so I worked diligently for a few days. But I didn't see anyone I knew, so I'm even more confused than you are."

Chapter 62 Hometown Food

Of course, Henry, a marginal figure, had no answer to the chef's question.

Following the principle of 'making the best of a good situation,' Henry said, "Never mind all that. As long as everyone enjoys the meal, your mission is accomplished. And you've found the secret to success, haven't you?"

The two of them looked at the newly replenished donut table, salad bar and high-end coffee machine. The hardworking American people are so easy to fool.

If they really tried to make molecular cuisine or mushroom and clam soup, they would flip the table right over. Wild boars really can't handle fine bran.

However, looking at the perfunctory dining table, which would have more variety even during normal meal times, Lao Hei still asked with a guilty conscience:

"Do you think I should make some changes? If my boss sees this, will he think I'm not responsible enough? In other words, this job is actually a test."

Henry spoke the truth: "No matter how good a dish is, it's put on a big plate and people can take it as they please. Then everyone can choose whatever they want to eat. Once you do that, even if you use top-notch ingredients, that plasticky, cheap feeling will stick."

"So, do you have any ideas?"

These days, the only person who can chat with Lao Hei about cooking, and not just for commercial hype, is Henry, a random actor.

As a chef, Blackie could tell whether Henry really knew how to eat or just followed the crowd. That was why he asked Henry what he thought at this moment.

"Maybe... you could try your hometown cuisine. I think really rich people would get tired of French, Italian, and Spanish food."

"What kind of hometown food can I expect?" Old Black, not being Chinese, didn't have that much nostalgia for hometown food. He muttered, "Do you want to see roasted bananas, boiled bananas, dried bananas, banana platter, banana paste, and banana soup here?"

Henry frowned and asked, "Why are they all bananas?"

"Hey, bananas are a staple food back home. Just like rice in Asia and bread in Europe and America. Do you want to know more about cooking with bananas? I'm really inspired by what you said."

"Oh, God, please, have mercy on me. That face of yours makes me feel like I'm going to drown in bananas right now."

"It's okay not to eat bananas. There's a very special dish popular in my hometown, roasted lion." Lao Hei said mysteriously.

This mention made the stunned Henry's eyes widen. He said, "You guys are playing so wildly, you can even roast a lion!"

"Yes, this is a traditional dish of our hometown. Every time we send three to four hunters to hunt lions. ——"

"Wait a minute." Henry interrupted Lao Hei and asked, "It's said to be a traditional dish, what weapons do you use?"

"Just a spear. You can't use a gun. It would taste different if you used a gun."

"So? Using only spears, three or four men were able to hunt a lion? You guys are quite skilled hunters."

Lao Hei snorted twice and said proudly, "Because once a lion is well fed, its desire to attack and its ability to move will decrease. Then the remaining person can kill the lion and bring it back to the village to barbecue."

"Woo, wow! You guys in the village play so wildly." Henry was shocked.

"This is the fairest way to choose a chief's daughter when multiple warriors want to marry her, because usually only one will return. Who can say that a warrior who can hunt a lion is not qualified to marry the chief's daughter?"

Henry shook his head and sighed. "Wow, this is unimaginable. This kind of food has already transcended the level of delicious or not delicious."

Lao Hei, who was originally speaking seriously, suddenly showed a happy expression. His two rows of large teeth were particularly white and shiny. He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I scared you, didn't I?"

"You... Oh, you must be kidding." Henry raised his hands in surrender and said, "You're amazing, Chef. You really are amazing. You really had me intimidated. I almost thought all you lion hunters were so wild."

The two men exchanged a black fist bump, and the smug old black man said, "Maybe I wasn't just talking nonsense. I heard it from my grandfather." My grandfather then said he heard it from his grandfather.

"But you know, there's no written history, only word of mouth. Who knows what's there? It's just old people bragging, trying to win over their grandchildren. Well, what do you say?"

"Clear and foolish eyes of admiration?"

"Yes! It's that clear, yet foolish, look of admiration. Those who want to be big stars, don't they particularly like to be looked at that way? Just like my elders, when they can't fool the adults, they have to fool the children."

"Who knows." Henry quickly finished everything he had taken and drank a large glass of soda.

Because this is a film set and it's working hours, the restaurant doesn't serve alcoholic beverages. Otherwise, the producers would be furious watching a group of actors and crew members filming drunkenly.

Not to mention that the producer would also get drunk. Even the drunkest would explode on the spot when he saw the financial account books.

Suddenly, Henry's ears twitched, and he quickly cleared the table, placing the plates and cutlery in the recycling bin. He said, "Oh, I should go check out the set. Maybe they're getting ready to film again."

"Go, go." Lao Hei certainly knew that the people here were more focused on filming and it was impossible to force anyone to stay.

Henry's words were certainly not nonsense. Under his super hearing, the assistant director in charge of the passerby actors began to gather the previously disbanded actors to prepare for the next shot.

In film crews, most of the passersby actors are handled by several action teams. Their method is very simple, that is, to send one person to follow the assistant director frequently or to stay on the set.

As long as the filming team needs people, they can find people for their own team as quickly as possible.

But there was a problem, Henry didn't belong to any action team, so when they called for people, they didn't include Henry in the group.

It's not their fault, as it's not anyone else's fault. While it's a little unreasonable to expect actors to be on call all the time, it's even more ridiculous to not be there when filming is needed.

This was Henry's current situation. Although he wasn't being specifically targeted, he was still being marginalized.

However, this exclusion was not a malicious act. It was just that others had no obligation to help him, so Henry could only find a solution on his own.

After all, he wasn't part of anyone's team, and Henry hadn't considered joining any small group.

Fortunately, Kryptonians have the ability to superhear and can solve small problems like this.

As long as Henry made his actions and behaviors look natural and got lucky enough to just walk back and not delay the filming, then no one would bother him, so why not do it?

Chapter 63 San Diego Naval Base

The filming in the studio quickly came to a close. Next up would be the highlight of the film, the scenes on the warship.

However, when the entire team arrived at the filming location at the San Diego Naval Base, Henry was shocked by the scene before him.

You should know that most of the scenes in the movie "Devil War" are on warships, so finding a warship to cooperate with the actual shooting is the most advantageous way.

By doing so, not only can the scene be restored realistically - it is real - but it also saves a lot of money on setting up the shooting set.

But it requires the cooperation of the US Navy.

This movie was the best action movie of the year before Henry traveled through time. It's undoubtedly the best movie anyone without a girlfriend would watch.

Because I like this movie, I also took a look at some of the stories behind the scenes. Moreover, during the release period of the movie, in order to increase the box office, all kinds of news will be bombarded non-stop, so naturally I know more related news.

For example, the main stage of the film is set on the USS Missouri, the only active battleship of the US military. However, the interior shots were actually filmed on the USS Alabama, a decommissioned battleship used as a museum ship.

The submarine used by the villain is played by the Gatto-class submarine HMS Drum, which served during World War II and was also retired as a museum ship.

The only shots of the USS Missouri that actually appear in the film are exterior scenes of it sailing in Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and San Francisco Bay.

As for the battleship's command room where the final decisive battle took place, because it had sustained considerable damage, the military certainly would not allow the film production team to arbitrarily install explosives and explode in what could be considered the heart of the battleship.

Even if it's just a retired museum ship, it's unacceptable to have any traces of bullet blasting left on it.

Moreover, if the filming is actually done, there is also the concern of exposing military equipment.

Don't think that just because these are antiques from World War II, their exposure is okay. The value of some equipment lies not only in its core, but also in its layout, which is a secret that cannot be made public.

Therefore, the scenes in the command room were shot using a set constructed elsewhere based on information provided by the military. This was the portion that had previously been filmed in the studio.

Other shipboard scenes involving explosions or destruction are handled in the same way. Just because the US Navy lends a ship as a filming location doesn't mean the production team can mess around with it.

Under these circumstances, Henry originally thought the production team would go to Mobile Bay, Alabama, to film, as the battleship Alabama is stored there as a museum ship.

Whether it is to reactivate the mothballed battleship or simply use a tugboat to tow the Alabama to San Diego, the cost is much higher than transporting the entire crew and equipment to Alabama and then transporting them back after the filming is completed.

But what Henry didn't expect was that he actually saw a giant monster with the number 63, a total length of 270 meters, and a standard displacement of 45,000 tons in the San Diego Naval Port. It was the third ship of the Iowa class, the battleship Missouri.
