Chapter five hundred and thirty second small pepper

The black chariot is rampant like a prehistoric monster, unstoppable, the dark body and thick line design make people feel cool, and then the picture changes, the black figure stands alone on the high building, overlooking his love and protection The city of , and finally jumped down with countless bats, unfolding their cloaks and soaring in the dark night sky.

It seems...it seems to be pretty good.

Sitting in front of the computer, Martial watched the trailer of Batman: Hour of War just released on the instant sharing website, and said to himself, It's much better than Batman and Robin.

Martial is a standard Batman fan. He likes Bruce Wayne very much. Although the trailer is only less than two minutes long, it gives him a much better feeling than the terrible Batman and Robin. , at least not like that bad movie, which was made into an indoor drag show.

Joe? Schumacher's two Batman, especially Batman and Robin, Martial dislikes very much, even if all comics, cartoons and TV series are included, it is his most hated Batman work.

After watching the trailer, he naturally had an idea, maybe Duke Rosenberg can really revive the series on the big screen?

Rumor has it that there will be a test screening of Batman next week?

Suddenly, Martial thought of the news he got from his friend who was also a Batman fan. He couldn't help but pick up the phone and start dialing, trying to get a few spots to participate in the preview.

With a week to go before the film's preview, Duke has completed all the post-production of Batman: Hour of War, and after nearly three months of hard work, the new Batman series is about to embark on a journey.

In addition to cooperating with Warner Bros.'s announcement and arranging film auditions, Duke also convened the crew and began to participate in various activities in a high-profile manner. Build momentum for the release of Batman: Hour of War.

Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale frequently attended various events and kept appearing in public. Facing the media and reporters, they would definitely talk about Batman: War Hour.

In an exclusive interview with Premier, Christian Bale released two photos of the skinny when he starred in The Mechanic and the strong when he was filming Batman: War Hour, exposing his crazy fitness on the media. Weight gain program. And how to endure the brutal training of hell.

Liam Neeson also talked about how magical and wonderful the second collaboration with Duke was, saying it was an extremely enjoyable process.

Anne Hathaway used the method used by actresses, constantly pulling her Italian boyfriend to show affection, and became the director of the Boyfriend Foundation with a high profile, which also attracted a lot of attention.

For a cultural icon with a long tradition like Batman, publicity doesn't need to be too outrageous, and Duke is only involved in some routine publicity activities. While paying attention to the advancement of the network, we will also accept interviews with the media in due course.

How can one person change the world?

This is what Duke said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Compared with comic heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man, Batman is a relatively ordinary person. He is neither superman-like born to alien dignitaries. He is not like Spider-Man. With genetic mutation, he can become a super weapon by relying on his body. He is a real earthman, and he has no special talents. What he needs is solid training.

He wasn't born Batman, he didn't become Batman all of a sudden. He went through a long journey to become Batman, and Batman: Hour of War is about Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, he Why becoming Batman, and the psychological identification with Batman.

In fact, this is the biggest difference in Batman. He is different from those heroes who passively possess various abilities after encountering various changes. He does not passively become a hero, but actively chooses the incarnation of fear.

While busy with the promotion of Batman: Hour of War, Duke also went to Marvel Studios in Burbank, a production company that has been established for several years. The first step of the whole plan is particularly critical. If there is an accident in Iron Man as the opening work, it will undoubtedly hit the progress of the entire series.

Therefore, Marvel Studios and even the entire Marvel Comics have strongly invited Duke to direct Iron Man, and as Marvel's largest shareholder, the success or failure of the series is also related to Duke's own vital interests. After some consideration, as early as last year, he decided to serve as the director of Iron Man.

This is a superhero movie with a completely different style from Batman. Whether it is the overall style of Marvel comics heroes, or Tony Stark's personal style in the comics, it is not suitable for shooting with realistic methods, realistic poison tongue steel Man, it is simply unimaginable.

If Captain America or other heroes use realistic methods to shoot, the problem is not too big, Tony Stark's cheerful and poor characters are seriously at odds with the realistic style.

No film can be made how the director wants to make it, and Iron Man not only has a production budget of up to 150 million US dollars, but also the opening of the entire Marvel series.

Don't forget, this isn't an original movie, and while a lot of adaptations are a must, it can't be completely divorced from the comics.

Moreover, films that are close to the family-friendly style are more likely to be successful in business. The market volume of PG-13 and PG-17 films is not of the same order at all.

Of course, Batman: Hour of War has not yet been released, and Duke came to Marvel to discuss some preliminary preparations.

Robert Downey Jr.?

Hearing Duke's proposed actor candidate for Tony Stark, Kevin Feige, the producer, was a little puzzled, Is he not suitable?

Although Hollywood is saying that Robert Downey Jr. has quit his drug addiction and plans to return to his prodigal son, there are undoubtedly many uncertain factors in the use of such an actor.

It has been a while since he entered Hollywood, and Kevin Feige knows very well that only the people around them know how rotten Hollywood actors are in private.

Robert Downey Jr. said everywhere that he was fighting drug addiction, but no one could tell whether he was still taking drugs.

Duke understood that Kevin Feige was worried about this. After thinking about it, he said, Kevin, he is only one of the candidates. Even if he can be selected, we can come up with many conditions to restrict him.

Today's Robert Downey Jr. was not at his best in the early 1990s. The coffee position had long since fallen. If it weren't for the existence of the Downey family and the connections established in the circle, it would be a bit reluctant to say that he was a third-tier actor. There is no big production willing to start him, and Robert Downey Jr. has no confidence in the production.

What's more, he will face a director of Duke's level.

If he can pass the audition...

Robert Downey Jr. is the first candidate, but not the only one. If he really has serious drug addiction, Duke will never use him. We can sign a restrictive contract with him and start shooting in the film. In the past, only a quarter or less of his salary will be paid, and the rest will be paid after the film is down. If he breaches the contract by taking drugs...

Having said that, Duke shrugged.

This is indeed a good idea. Kevin Feige nodded.

As long as Robert Downey Jr. can pass the audition, like Christian Bale, Duke will definitely let Marvel sign him to a long-term contract, and the limited contract will accompany all of Downey's cooperation with Marvel, even if he Become a super A-level star in the future.

No one can say whether this prodigal son will continue his career as an addict.

Today, when the information flow is infinitely fast and infinitely wide, the scandals of the main actors often have a negative impact on the film.

Correspondingly, if the main actor appears in a situation that can attract the audience, for example, suddenly hangs up, as long as the producer and distributor make a little use, it will also form a huge boost to the film.

Where's the heroine? Kevin Feige is completely Duke. Do you have a favorite candidate for Pepper and Black Widow?

Black Widow I have found a more suitable actress.

Duke thought for a while, and then said, Little Pepper, let's wait for the official preparations and hold a large-scale audition.

The setting of Chili Pepper itself determines that an actress who is too young cannot be used. This is a mature female assistant. The most suitable one is an actress born in the 1970s. Duke does not plan to use the original Gwen Niss Paltrow, the other party's temperament is indeed good, but not beautiful, and he has no friendship with the Paltrow family.

In fact, according to his ideas, Charlize Theron is the most suitable actor candidate, but with the salary and status of South African diamonds, it is impossible to play such a role.

Although Charlize Theron was like other actresses after winning the Oscar for best actress in The Devil, and the two films she starred in received mediocre responses, she was still A Even one of the super-A actresses, the remuneration of commercial films is as high as 20 million US dollars.

For the just-starting Marvel movie, such an actor is too extravagant. Duke and Kevin Feige can reach an agreement on Robert Downey Jr. In addition to restricting him, the plummeting worth of the other party is also important. reason.

Even if Duke invited, Charlize Theron would not be able to reduce her salary to star in such a commercial masterpiece. The actor's salary is not only related to herself, but also to a large group of people around her, from assistants to public relations to agents. .

After a brief discussion with Marvel, Duke returned to work on Batman: Hour of War. The film held three consecutive test screenings in late April, and the word of mouth of the test screenings was mixed. (To be continued ^)
