Head-to-head Hollywood Chapter 877 Create a world where everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Now Dunn can finally put down everything at hand and concentrate on preparing for the movie "The Avengers". If nothing else, "Avengers" will be Dunn's last Marvel movie. He used a "Spider-Man" to open the prelude to Marvel. With another "Avengers", it is enough to complete the first phase of Marvel Studios. Marvel's movies have gone beyond the traditional concept of movies. Kind of like a hardcover version of a long-form TV show on the big screen. Has a unified style. In the past, Hollywood film series basically revolved around the main creative team such as directors, screenwriters, and producers to make sequels. Through the succession of the main creators, the style continuation of the series of films is completed. For example, the pioneering work of superhero movies - the "Superman" trilogy. The first three "Superman" films were directed by Richard Donner and Richard Lester, written by David Newman and Mario Puzo, and starred by Christopher River. When there is an accident in this lineup, the "Superman" movie will have problems immediately. Because every director has a different directing style. The same series of movies, if the style is too different, the audience will definitely not buy it. However, Marvel Studios broke this rule. In the big series of Marvel's "Avengers", except for the pioneering work "Spider-Man", movie fans simply don't know who the directors of the latter movies are. After the style of the entire series has been established, the director's uniqueness has been reduced to the point of being indistinguishable. To put the series style of the movie above the main creative team! Just like a movie. For example, "Band of Brothers" has a total of 10 episodes, each directed by 10 different directors, but the style is surprisingly unified, and it is difficult for ordinary audiences to distinguish them by the content of the film and television. In this way, the importance of the director will be greatly reduced, and the artistry of the work will also be greatly reduced. Even Dunn, when shooting "Avengers", must closely follow the style, style, rhythm and narrative flow determined by Marvel Studios for the "Avengers" series. Ordinary movie fans are of course extremely looking forward to a top director like Dunn Walker taking over "The Avengers". However, people in the industry were quite shocked by Tang En's decision. It is difficult for them to show that a big director like Tang En would actually go to shoot a... crafts movie. The soul of film is creation. But shooting "Avengers", to a large extent, there is no room for creation, but step-by-step assembly. It's like having Jobs go down to the production floor to assemble the iMac. No, it's a waste of time. "Many peers in the industry can't see the situation clearly, and they still don't understand the concept upgrade of commercial movies." In the past few days, Dunn has held many meetings with many high-level executives of Marvel Pictures, including the two films that have been completed. The creative team of Marvel movies "Ant-Man 2" and "Iron Man". Dunn wants to establish the correctness of the strategy of Marvel Pictures from a theoretical point of view, and give the directors confidence. At the same time, it also encourages Marvel executives to not care about outside rumors and firmly believe in the existing management, creation and production style of Marvel Studios. "Since the 1970s, science fiction has gradually become a popular field for commercial films. Special effects of movie props have become the wings that hold up science fiction films. After entering the 21st century, computer digital imaging technology has fully taken over special effects production." In the past, Hollywood regarded creativity as the soul of movies. Even today, this is an iron law of movies. However, in commercial films, especially sci-fi commercial films, the concept of film has been upgraded! For example, technology and creativity are starting to stand shoulder to shoulder!" "Many film critics, even many producers and directors are puzzled, why is the box office of "Pirates Alliance 2: Gathering Souls" so high? That film, from the creative From the point of view, it is really good. The freshness of 65% on Rotten Tomatoes is enough to show that this is not a story with excellent creativity. But what about the result? We have all seen it." In the conference room of Marvel Studios, Dunn, sitting at the head of the conference round table, talked eloquently. Technology and creativity go hand in hand, what a deafening theory! Now Dunn is definitely a master of film theory in Hollywood. His words are justifying the name of the Marvel movie! Especially "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau, "Ant-Man 2" director Doug Liman, "Spider-Man 3" director Sam Raimi and others. Nina Jacobson added with a smile: "The latest data, "Pirates League 2: Gathering Soul" released three weeks ago, the US box office 320 million US dollars, the global box office has exceeded 680 million US dollars. It seems that the global box office It’s only a matter of time before it crosses $1 billion.” So far, the summer box office champion this summer is DreamWorks’ animated film Shrek 2. The film is still in theaters, grossing $410 million in North America and $790 million worldwide. However, in the field of live-action movies, "Pirates Alliance 2: Coffin of Souls" is a well-deserved king, and even "Ghost Rider", which led the dark trend for a while, has to bow down. As the president of Marvel Studios, Nina Jacobson should be indignant, at least not too happy, to see "Pirates League 2" crushing "Ghost Rider" at the box office. However, Dunn had already assured her. In the future, she will take over Bill McNick's position and take charge of Dunn Films! "Pirates League 2" is a famous film series under Dunn Pictures. In addition, there are "Harry Potter", "007", "Mrs. Smith", "National Treasure", "Mad Max", "Night at the Museum" and many other series of brands that can be developed. Compared with Marvel Studios, it is even better. During this time, she was in a good mood. Dunn continued: "Some time ago, George told me that he said that the movie world of "Pirate League" can be comparable to "Star Wars". To be honest, I was a little flattered. But then again, "Star Wars" The idea of ​​​​"...isn't it a family drama in the space field? In my opinion, "Pirates" or "Star Wars" are far from this unprecedented cinematic universe created by Marvel Studios. Far inferior!" "The previous movie series, whether it was "Star Wars", "Harry Potter", "Mission Impossible", "The Lord of the Rings", were all linear plots. Only the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yes Mesh structure. Each superhero is like a small star in the starry sky. They reflect each other and form a grand world system. Every new Marvel movie can be regarded as a sequel to the previous one. , The extra part, it can also be regarded as a trailer for the next movie." "What is the biggest feature of the finale of the big series of "The Avengers"? It is really assembled as the outside world says A movie? Yes, no! This will be the first time in history that many superheroes with different personalities, different superpowers, and different worlds are put into the same universe construction." "We, we want to create a world !" ... At that time, George Lucas created a technological precedent and shot "Star Wars", which soared into the sky. If Cameron wants to challenge "Star Wars", he must also develop a technological precedent! For "Avatar", Cameron almost has to renovate and integrate the current Hollywood film technology, which is far from being as simple as 3D. This naturally makes Dunn cheaper. Dunn wants to learn from several technologies and apply them to the shooting of "Avengers". Among them, the two most important are real-time preview technology and expression capture technology. However, by the time the filming started, the technical issues had not been resolved. "Avatar" officially started filming in 2007. It's only 2004 now. The technology is not yet mature. The real-time preview technology is good, the visual presentation is a little worse, but at least it can give a general appearance, which can provide specific visual analysis to the director team and special effects team, which is much better than the previous green screen shooting with dark eyes. Expression capture technology has a big problem. This is a set of equipment developed by the MIT Optical Physics Laboratory, and New Universal spent a full $30 million for this! Of course, $30 million is not just a set of equipment, but also detailed research and development processes and related technical materials, which can be provided to Dolby Laboratories for study and research. This headgear optical expression capture system, because the design is too complicated, occasionally has a small problem of leakage~www.novelbuddy.com~ is more dangerous. Changed for more than a month, still no solution. "What do you say?" Tang En was very unhappy when he heard the report. Nina Jacobson will personally serve as the executive producer of "Avengers", she is also very helpless, "two options, either use the old-fashioned expression capture technology, or ... you can only postpone the shooting schedule I watched some shots of "The Polar Express", and ILM's expression capture is excellent." Dunn said: "If I wanted to use ILM's technology, I would have spent $30 million to buy such a set of semi-finished products. Equipment?" The visual effects of "Avatar" are too shocking. Compared with the "Polar Express", it is far inferior. With good ones, of course you can't use bad ones. Nina Jacobson said tentatively: "It's really not possible, just postpone it. "Ant-Man 2" will not be completed until the end of June, "Iron Man" has only been filmed for a week, and "Thor" will even be filmed until mid-August. Actors It's too hard for us to keep on filming." Tang En frowned. For the actors, of course, it is very tiring to shoot in a row. But for studios, there's a huge benefit - saving money! For example, in "Thor", all the costumes, props, sets, and even movie shots and actor status can be well approached in "Avengers". If you shoot a year apart, everything will have to be rearranged, and there will be an extra cost. Now, "Ant-Man 2" and "Iron Man" have just been completed, and "Thor" is still being filmed, which is the best time to start "The Avengers". Why did the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy take three consecutive films? The biggest reason is that continuous shooting saves money! If the "Avengers" filming schedule is postponed, I am afraid that at least an additional 20 million to 30 million US dollars will be spent. Enough to buy a set of the latest headgear optical expression capture equipment. Please remember this book's first domain name: . Nine Heavens God Emperor mobile version reading website:
