Chapter 233 (1/2)

A dock in southern Melbourne.

After three days of shooting, ”Batman” finally ended the film's first fight.

The plot begins with five consecutive murders in Gotham. Some of the victims are shot, some have their necks broken, and some have been bitten by animals. Batman pursues according to the clues. When Vicky Val, a female reporter of the Gotham times, is about to be murdered, Batman successfully rescues her and tracks her along the sewer to an abandoned Wharf on the edge of the city.

The murderer showed his true face. It turned out that he was a huge, scaly, crocodile like monster with sharp teeth.

After a hard fight, Batman finally subdued the crocodile.

At the same time, Vicky Waal, who was in the initial stage of panic, called the police, and director Gordon, who was also closely pursuing the recent murders, personally led the team to the dock. Because of the arrival of the police, Batman had no time to interrogate the crocodile man, so he had to escape ahead of time.

This action play is followed by a text play, which is also the first official contact between director Gordon and Batman.

The recent start of the night drama shooting from 6 pm to 2 am, is still eight hours. It's Midsummer in the southern hemisphere, and the sky is very long, but usually after the preparations for shooting are completed, the night has already come.

It's already one o'clock in the morning, after the previous action play. The scene doesn't need to change too much. The police are picking up the debris in the original site. Director Gordon is reminded to go to a nearby warehouse.

The setting here has been completed ahead of time. Simon has a simple communication with two actors, Adam Baldwin and Tommy Lee Jones, and the shooting begins.

All the actors who had been buried in advance started to move with the playing board down.

Director Gordon hesitated to the street lamp in front of the warehouse, while Batman squatted on the edge of the warehouse roof, most of his body covered with a cloak. The composition of the camera has a clear moral, director Gordon and Batman, one in the light, one in the dark.

Feeling a slight noise overhead, Sheriff Gordon looked up and finally saw the ”wanted man” he had been pursuing for a long time.

After a brief confrontation, Gordon said, ”well, although But you did a good job

Batman didn't mean to say hello to Gordon. His voice was calm and cold. He said, ”do you find any connection?”

Gordon nodded: ”including Vicky Val, three journalists have been attacked in the last week. There must be something going on in the city. Someone wants to cover it up. ”

Batman pauses and doesn't tell Gordon that he's actually found five related murders. He just says, ”I need a trial report on that crocodile.”

”I'm not going to work with the wanted,” Gordon blurted out. Aware of Batman's hesitation, he asked, ”do you know anything else?”

Batman said, ”I will not cooperate with the police.”

Gordon frowned: ”then why do you think I'll give you the report?”

”Tomorrow night at 12 o'clock, still here.”

Gordon moved in place, as if thinking about how to gain some initiative. After a short trance, he looked up again and the figure on the roof had disappeared.

“CUT！”

Simon behind the monitor raised his hand slightly and began to play back the video.

Adam Baldwin and Tommy Lee Jones soon got together.

”The mood is not in place yet,” Simon explained to Tommy Lee Jones by pressing the replay himself. ”Tommy, this conversation means that you two have formed some potential tacit understanding unconsciously, so the rhythm needs to be controlled. In addition, the little action you just made is too deliberate. Adjust it next time. ”

What Simon needs is a kind of feeling. Naturally, he can't tell them how to act in detail, so they have to figure it out by themselves.

After a brief discussion, the two actors made a little preparation and began shooting for the second time.

Bruce Wayne is basically in Batman state with three no attributes. He doesn't have high requirements for Adam Baldwin's acting skills. Tommy Lee Jones is also a veteran actor for many years. Therefore, after shooting several pictures in succession, Simon got the satisfactory effect he needed.

At two o'clock, the crew finished work on time.

Simon went to bed at about three o'clock in the morning, had breakfast at nine o'clock the next morning, and went back to his study in his hotel suite.

Her main job is to keep in touch with the two companies in North America. She doesn't have to stay up late with Simon on set. Simon enters the study, and the female assistant has prepared the documents he needs to review today.

”We have successfully established 5000 long contracts of Nikkei 225 index futures in Osaka and Singapore commodity futures exchanges. The opening index is about 31200 points. The average single hand margin is US $25300, and the total margin payment is US $126 million. Dad thinks that the company only needs to reserve 50 million US dollars to resist risks, so it can add another 1000 hands to build a position. ”

The original S & P 500 futures, 10 times leverage, a single margin of about $15000.Nikkei 225 index futures are still 10 times leverage. However, the contract multiplier of this index futures is 1000 yen, which means that the book value of each contract held by Westeros is 31.2 million yen.

In recent years, the yen has continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, and the recent exchange rate has reached 123 to 1. After the conversion of 31.2 million yen, it is approximately 250000 US dollars, and the 10% margin ratio is 25000 US dollars.

Simon listened to Jennifer's introduction and looked through the papers in his hand.

In the past two weeks, the growth rate of Nikkei 225 index has accelerated significantly. In December last year, when the Nikkei 225 index broke through 30000 points, the growth rate of that month was only 623 points. However, in the last two weeks, the Nikkei 225 index has risen a full 860 points, or 2.7%.

I don't know if someone heard the news and began to follow the approach.

At present, the funds that westero can freely use are only 200 million US dollars just transferred from danielis entertainment. The planned 5000 hand built warehouse is completed, and the remaining funds are only 70 million US dollars. Simon is not as clear about the trend of the Japanese stock market in the next year as that of the North American stock market in October of the previous year. Therefore, he must not fill his position. He also needs to reserve a sum of money to resist the risk of margin call.

After rough calculation, according to the current position ratio, if the Nikkei 225 index can still reach the original high of 38000 points in time and space. In theory, excluding the stock index futures trading tax and high capital gains tax in the Japanese market, westero's 200 million dollar principal will probably double at the end of the year, achieving 100% net profit.

Compared with the one two years ago, 100% net profit is not a good business. Simon can actually make so much money in a year if he makes other investments based on the information in his memory.

Now, for example, I'm buying shares in Columbia Pictures.

In 1988, Columbia released 15 films, but the box office was only $88 million. Yes, 15 movies, 88 million, with an average box office revenue of less than $6 million per movie.
