Chapter 806： 23 things on the set

Disagreements around the production philosophy of a film are a regular occurrence in the film industry.

The requirements of the management, market research, the mainstream choices of the audience and the current hot topics, plus the director’s personal aesthetic style, so many aspects cannot be completely interacted, and a choice is inevitable.

Some works insist on individuality and give up the mainstream market, so the cult genre was born;

Some works will take the old-fashioned but proven path to success, commonly known as popcorn, which is easy to finish.

Some works are constantly compromising between the two. Although there is a risk, it may be both applauded and popular, or nothing.

Market and depth are not exactly parallel lines, they are just a little further apart.

Li Zhao's temper was not irritable.

When another day of the crew ended briefly and got off work, Lyman called Kevin and Stan Lee with him in the hotel room.

A few packs of cigarettes, lighters, some scenes and follow-up plots.

Kevin first explained the big data of the market, and his words were not rough. "Rather than why Banner is angry, the audience prefers to see what he smashes and how much he smashes after his transformation. We must be clear about destroying various well-known buildings, far from Much more pleasurable and visually pleasing than restrained words. And the budget of the movie is enough to support the big scenes, and the audience generally likes...”

Li Press answered: "These will be there."

"But not enough."

"Enough. The audience buys tickets to watch the movie. There must be a basic incentive. Does someone make him angry, so he will transform without hesitation? Bruce Banner is not a saboteur, he is rational."

"No no no, I just want more broken shots, not just three segments."

"Is there any problem? The first time was designed by the KGB, Banner inhaled a large amount of calming gas, the Hulk personality woke up, smashed the laboratory, and rushed into the street;

The second time was when the military and the KGB found Banner's hiding place at the same time. In order to protect themselves, they took the initiative to mutate and break out of the encirclement;

The third time was that the KGB collected Banner's blood and mixed it with the undeveloped serum of the previous super soldier plan, which gave birth to monster abhorrence. In order to protect Betty, Banner did not lose control of his emotions for the first time, and he remained conscious after incarnating as a Hulk ......

These transformations are all plot advancement points, all of which have incentives, and are closely linked before and after, showing that the power of the Hulk is not so easy to grasp. "

"The main feature of the film is roughly 110 minutes long, but does the Hulk transformation add up to 35 minutes?"

"Without rhythm, where is the dramatic tension?"

During the whole chat, most of the time, Kevin and Li tried to persuade each other and adopted their own ideas to shoot, while Lyman and Stan-Lee were more like peacemakers, and eased the relationship when they saw the escalation of the argument between the two.

But such a scene is what Ryman likes to see.

Only by synthesizing multiple factors and considering them at all times can it be possible to avoid failures in previous lives.

Although Lehman is ready to lose at the box office, he can shoot better, the story logic is clearer, and the dramatic tension and rhythm guidance are better, so he won't be so miserable.

Fans, word-of-mouth and the market have to please one place.

The original time and space "The Incredible Hulk" is a typical bad movie that is not well received.

Comic fans feel that Banner has become a madman who can go mad at every turn. He lacks a cool head and genius wisdom, and he is dog-blooded. Not much to say about the box office, 263 million in the world, and Paramount's decision to share the distribution. A big wave of blood made Marvel want to hit the wall; in terms of word of mouth from passers-by, most of them were bad reviews, and they lost all three.

With a good conscience, "The Incredible Hulk" is similar to "The Golden Compass". The special effects and graphics are well thought out. At least the budget has not disappeared inexplicably, but some places are too brainless.

The main plot of the movie was that Banner wanted to suppress and eliminate his own mutation, which Ryman also adopted, because there is this part of the plot in the comics.

But why join a love line that makes people suspicious of IQ? Banner has a girlfriend. After escaping for a few years, he found that his girlfriend had a new love. After some manipulations, his girlfriend came back to be with Banner, and his girlfriend was still pursuing him. Daughter of General Ross, the Hulk's longing for power.

How should I put it, this kind of operation seems to be forcibly added by the management, adding wrong contradictions, and it has little effect on the main plot and the character of Banner, but it takes so much space.

After all, it was pointed out at the beginning that the main contradiction of the film is actually the struggle between the two consciousnesses of Dr. Banner and the Hulk, who share the same body. One is unwilling to yield, the other is dominant.

In addition, the director Louis Latori is a small director, a typical capital tool, and he has no say in the determination of the film editing and plot. Even when the film is finished and waiting for release, starring Edward Norton and Marvel capital because of the creative concept. The difference is that in the end the troubles went their separate ways, and even the MCU series did not play, which was heartbreaking.

Everyone has limited vision. Kevin Feige is too superstitious about the mainstream market. Instead, he ignores the fact that the audience will compare. He also suffers from aesthetic fatigue. He is used to watching Hollywood action movies. In terms of storytelling, The Incredible Hulk is even It lacks some basic logic and dramatic tension than popcorn, and it is quite unnecessary to be irritable for the sake of being irritable.

A similar comparison is as if Ultraman made a big move as soon as he debuted, without any foreshadowing of emotions—isn’t it that flavorful?

Of course, Li Press patted Yi Wenqing, always liked to add drama, with Kevin Feige watching, the basic visual enjoyment must be in place, because Kevin Feige cares about this aspect the most.

If nothing else, Marvel movies cannot lack the biggest scenes.

As for how to deal with the battle between Banner and the Hulk's consciousness, Li Press is also a wonderful person and gave Lehman some ideas.

The so-called three-stage style, the first stage is the first awakening of the unconscious and non-resistance sub-personality, and the destructive power is the greatest, because the Hulk has negative emotions of anger in his bones;

The second paragraph is physically stimulated. Under the threat of death, the Hulk initially compromised Banner, and he transformed without waiting for the negative guidance to reach the threshold. In addition, Banner broke through consciously instead of fighting, so the destructiveness was not the first. Strong at the next awakening;

The third paragraph was optimized by Lyman based on this idea. The girl who was touched in the bottom of his heart was in danger. Banner took the initiative to communicate with the sub-personality at the expense of self-suppression-Bruce Banner has been working hard to eliminate the mutation for several years. After I got some results, I realized the spiritual breathing by sorting out the experimental data of my emotions.

And then completely dominate the Hulk's body with Banner's consciousness, with the strongest sense of strength, defeating the more abundant hatred of mutation.

In other words, the initial meaning expressed by these three paragraphs is that Hulk is a reckless man, and his newly awakened personality has only instincts, but Dr. Banner has a high IQ, and when the two are combined, such a Hulk will be truly terrible and control his power. At the same time, use it correctly - the incarnation of the reckless man is not scary, the scary thing is that the reckless man uses his brain!

Similar routines are like Naruto and Kurama. The negative emotions are too high, and the Kurama will be aggressive, unconscious, and vent violence, but if you can control it, it will be very scary.

Therefore, Lehmann originally deleted those brainless routines in the original time and space "The Incredible Hulk", such as unnecessary love lines, and changed them to guard the beautiful figure in the heart;

General Ross didn't want the power of the Hulk either, he just conspired with S.H.I.E.L.D. to plan a super soldier and wanted an artificial superhero. Even the pursuit of Banner was only because he was too dangerous, leaving room for the misunderstanding;

In addition, the role of Banner's main character has been increased, showing his genius side. For example, in the confrontation with the angry personality, he comprehended the "seal", spiritual breathing, and with the capital to compete with the Hulk, the status is no longer reversed.

Even in the final battle, Tony Stark appeared halfway through and was beaten by hatred. The absolute difference in strength made this genius develop anti-Hulk heavy armor in advance to fight against power monsters.

After laying the second egg, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury discovered the Hulk's stubborn but wise battle in the live battle, and realized that Banner could suppress Hulk's consciousness. After several considerations, he issued an invitation to join the club.

At this point, the linkage between "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" has also been established, which can allow more of the two films to influence and drive each other in the screening, and further expand their fame. Wonderful.
