v2 Chapter 798： No time to fall in love

As a typical Hollywood commercial giant, the star-studded "Avengers" will bring together familiar superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Black Widow for an unprecedented time. The press conference naturally attracted a large number of media reporters.

From the local "Los Angeles Times" in Los Angeles to the "New York Times" on the east coast, from the "Washington Post" in North America to the "Le Figaro" in Continental Europe, from the "Times" in the British Isles to the "New York Times" in the Japanese archipelago. The Asahi Shimbun, from the professional "Hollywood Reporter" to the typical tabloid "The Sun", sent reporters to this press conference.

"I have accepted the offer of Marvel Studios and will be the director of "The Avengers."

Although it was the focus of the press conference, Duke did not say much. In addition to announcing that he had signed a contract with Marvel Pictures, he also admitted that the film will be shot in 3d format. "The Avengers will be made into a 3d Format movies, this is a very interesting thing."

He did not hesitate to say these words, "I don't like the kind of long-lens movies, full of dialogue everywhere, I like the kind of movies that make people feel immersive. So, 3d It is in line with my aesthetic tendency. To be honest, there are many movies ≈, which are not suitable for conversion into 3d, but the 3d version of "Avengers" is certainly not annoying, and there are many scenes that can give people a kind of exposure The feeling in the movie. From this perspective, 3d's "Avengers" makes me very fond."

At the press conference, Duke took the initiative to step aside. Now the publicity actors are more topical, and the six Avengers members have become the focus of media attention. According to the arrangements before the press conference, each of them also told the media I talked about my role in the film.

Chris Evans spoke first. His Captain America will be the soul of the Avengers,"

"Through 70 years to come to the present age, Captain America, although miraculously re-awakened and joined the Avengers..."

Chris Evans talked about the difficulty of the role, "He has a lot of new things to accept, and he has to adapt to the rapid changes in human morality, values, science and technology in modern society as soon as possible. He has no relatives. No friends, He doesn't understand buzzwords and doesn't know what the Internet is; but he has a wealth of combat experience and excellent leadership talents, making the Avengers gradually become a cohesive and powerful team."

Robert Downey Jr. focused on the relationship between his Iron Man and Captain America.

"Tony and Steve are like long-lost brothers. Tony's father Howard Stark likes him the most. Although Tony is a beautiful and wine-loving playboy, he doesn't hate his father for his brother. Preference, after meeting the captain, he regarded him as a close friend. At critical moments, he also attacked according to the instructions of Captain America.

Mark Ruffalo admitted to media reporters, "In order to play the Hulk well, I have been to the zoo to observe the gorillas for a long time. I hope this can be inspired by playing the Hulk."

Subsequently, the reporters almost all besieged Scarlett Johansson, her black widow is the key role that connects the entire Avengers alliance.

"I am very happy to continue to play Black Widow in "The Avengers". I like the role of Black Widow very much, and I am very happy that fans like my interpretation of Black Widow."

When the reporter asked if her character would spark love with other heroes. Scarlett said directly, "For people like Natalie Normanoff. Love is a kid's trick, and the alliance is very busy, so there is no time to fall in love!"

After the actors, for example, the newly designed hero uniforms and the exposed Duke concept drawings have also become the focus of media attention.

This press conference lasted a whole morning, after participating in the noon reception banquet. As a producer and director, Duke summoned all the main members of the film to Marvel Pictures and held an internal meeting.

The office of Marvel Studios in Burbank is not large, just a two-story building, if you look at the exterior alone. It's hard to imagine that this is the film company that has produced several super blockbuster movies that hit the world. Instead, it is more like the kind of film studio opened by Hollywood stars that will close at any time.

Just after noon, it became a gathering place for Marvel heroes. The paparazzi who followed a few stars almost broke the shutter of the camera.

Black Widow Scarlett Johnson, Pepper Rachel McAdams, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr, Hulk Mark Ruffalo, Hawkeye Jeremy Renner, Cyclops Samuel Jackson...

There are well-known Thor Chris Hemsworth and Rocky Tom Hiddleston who are not in theaters.

Since the press conference has just been held, everyone knows that the strongest team on earth is about to assemble.

When Duke arrived, many reporters surrounded him. It seemed that the morning press conference had not asked enough and threw out various questions.

Answered a few casually. Under the cover of bodyguards, Duke quickly walked into the office building of Marvel Studios. The reporters behind them surrounded Kevin Fitch, the Marvel movie, who just got off the car. The CEO of the industry is not as lucky as Duke.

Entertainment reporters threw knife-like questions, many of which were about the style of the film.

After vaguely listening to the questions asked by the reporter, Duke walked towards the conference room on the second floor under the leadership of the front desk staff.

Although "The Avengers" is a movie that many comics fans and superhero fans have been waiting for, but in the hearts of most people in the industry, this movie is not a popular hot cake. The reason is It's actually very simple-too many heroes, too many different super abilities, too difficult to mix together.

Frankly speaking, "Avengers" is a hodgepodge, and hodgepodge movies are never difficult to make.

Walking into the conference room, Duke nodded to Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel Jackson, who came to say hello one after another, and then walked to the top of the conference table. After Kevin Fitch arrived, the meeting opened. prelude.

This is the preparatory meeting of the crew, and there is no special place. In fact, most of the affairs are communicated with the relevant people as early as when the script is handed over to them. The preparatory meeting is more like a meeting and coordination meeting. Personnel face-to-face communication with possible problems.

Group play is a very troublesome thing. There are many characters in the film, and each character is a "popular star". In addition, the screenwriter cannot evenly distribute the roles, so it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of "favoring one another than the other", which will easily lead to open and secret fights between actors. .

Fortunately, most of them are male actors, and the fights between men will not be as endless as women.

In order to prevent the bad things that may happen in the future from hindering the shooting, after the routine script reading, Duke stood up and said a few words.

"Movies are the art of regret. Regardless of how and when, they will leave regrets. In terms of the plot, Marvel, Stan Lee and the screenwriters have done their utmost and tried their best, and have done everything possible to equalize Up."

Looking over everyone in the conference room, Duke said solemnly, "But unfortunately, this is an unrealistic idea. Therefore, some superheroes can only be used as supporting roles in this movie."

As soon as Duke’s voice fell, Kevin Fitch said cooperatively, “However, this will not be disappointing, because there are many action scenes in the film. Although there are so many superheroes together, this movie is always the same. An action movie, just pay attention to the action scenes of those big scenes, because this is the flesh and blood of this movie."

In fact, these people can't say anything on the face. Duke is not the same Joes Weiden after all. His director is enough to make these actors stop some unrealistic ideas at the stage of thinking.

For example, Captain America doesn't have many roles in the script. Although it is the brain of the Avengers, it is definitely not the most brilliant one, and even more like a decoration.

This is very normal. When a group of superheroes gather together, it is inevitable that some people will stand out and some will become decorations.

According to the setting of the script, Iron Man Tony Stark definitely took advantage, humorous, venomous and conceited. In the end, he became a "fighter" among superheroes because of his courage to dedicate himself. In addition to taking on the most dangerous combat missions , Iron Man also gives full play to the huge energy of comedians, all kinds of ridicule, all kinds of "out of shape".

To be precise, the division of labor in the script is clear. Iron Man is responsible for playing treasures, Captain America is responsible for acting handsome, Black Widow is responsible for coquettishness, Cyclops is responsible for scheming, and Hawkeye is responsible for showing arms...

As for Thor, he continued to abuse me thousands of times, and I treated my brother like first love.

This is also because there are too many main characters, the script is really difficult to measure.

Even Stan Lee once asked for Duke's advice, hoping to get rid of the obscene role of Thor, but got a negative answer. After all, what he wanted to do was a film that showed these comic characters in a panoramic view.

"The film has a very comic script. It seems that these Avengers members have come out of their respective movies. These things are mixed together, and they look silly and interesting."

In the face of the eyes of everyone, Duke also said some of his own guiding concepts, "There are mythical characters, American soldiers of World War II, arms dealers and lone rangers like Tony Stark. It is very important to put these characters together. not easy."

"Fundamentally speaking, this group of people does not belong to a movie, but we have to use a story to string them together. This story will attract the attention of superhero fans all over the world." (To be continued.)
