Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 127 Can Movies Be Filmed as Series?
"Director Xu, your movie universe is interesting."

Nanshan Smart Villa, in the living room on the first floor.

Director Wang Shifeng, He Feiyang and other well-known figures in the film and television industry were chatting with Xu Nuo about this topic while having a meal.

"There has never been such an idea before, using one single movie after another to connect a movie universe."

He Feiyang also felt very novel.

When Xu Nuo proposed the concept of "movie universe" to them, Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang were indeed very surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Surprised that the movie can also be made as a series?There is a connection between each other, and one by one can be connected in series in the future?
Surprisingly, Xu Nuo was able to come up with such a novel film method.

"Before this, it was at most a series of movies. Director Xu, your concept of the movie universe is really innovative. No wonder you put an easter egg at the end of the movie "Iron Man". At first I thought it was a follow-up easter egg of the "Iron Man" series of movies, but now it seems that some movie protagonists like Iron Man are brought together to form an alliance?"

Director Wang Shifeng is particularly interested in Xu Nuo's concept of "movie universe".

The most important thing is that "Iron Man" has already been so successful, and the global box office has already entered the top ten in movie history. If there are more movies like "Iron Man", and then the protagonists of these movies All come together to form a union.

Turtle!

The explosive effect of that appeal is unimaginable.

"Yes."

Xu Nuo nodded with a smile, and explained: "Each protagonist has its own characteristics and stories, but these stories are connected with each other, and they are in the same movie world."

"Old Xu, this is a very large and complex setting. It is novel, but no one has tried it. There are certain risks, but I think it is definitely worth a try."

He Feiyang was a little worried that the setting was too large and complicated, and he would not be able to grasp it.

But there was the great success of "Iron Man" before, and the disciples can be said to be quite profound, so you might as well give it a try, because once it succeeds, it will be an important stroke in the history of world film.

"Since Director Xu has a certain degree of confidence, I think we can also focus on building it."

Director Wang Shifeng believes in the ability of the young director in front of him. He has already proved his talent in making movies with his strong strength.

Xu Nuo asked Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang to come here today. In fact, apart from the three cobblers trying to figure out the title and plot timing of the adaptation of "Captain America", another reason is to let them know about themselves. The concept of "movie universe".

Even Xu Nuo's movie universe may need them to help him build it together.

Because Xu Nuo pondered for a while.

"Iron Man" can be filmed by itself, and the adaptation of "Captain America" ​​can also be filmed by itself, because there are more or less sci-fi elements in these two films.

And the rewards are what you want.

But how can "Hulk" be shot in real life?
Is it possible to really produce gamma rays?

This thing can’t be grasped, even Xu Nuo doesn’t want to grasp it. After all, movies belong to movies. Real gamma rays can easily cause DNA breakage in human cells, and then cause cell mutation, hematopoietic function loss, cancer and other malignant diseases. , and the consequences may even be more serious.

There is also "Thor", this kind of movie with a strong mythological color, Xu Nuo himself is not good at shooting it, whether it is Meow Meow Hammer or Rainbow Bridge, Xu Nuo can't make it "real".

The adaptation of "Captain America" ​​is not bad. The biomedical field involved can obtain the qualification for real filming by investing in Professor Helen De's physique serum research project.

So after Xu Nuo thought about it, he decided to hand over the few films in the movie universe that he couldn't make to a director he could trust and be capable of.

If there are scientific and technological rewards, of course it is up to me to shoot.

"Then what I told you just now, this movie set with super soldier serum, do you have any good suggestions?"

Xu Nuo looked at Director Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang, and asked.

The first is the choice of time node for adapting "Captain America".

In the end is to choose 99 years?Or choose World War II?
These two time points must be full of attraction for the audience.

"Old Xu, 99 is a good time point. The super soldier serum must be used to create a super soldier, and then use it to fight aliens. It's another sci-fi theme you are good at."

He Feiyang first expressed his thoughts.

"Um"

Xu Nuo nodded slightly, and couldn't help thinking about it.

If you choose the time point of 99 to shoot the adaptation of "Captain America", then it is indeed a very good gimmick to fight aliens, but Xu Nuo needs to redesign the plot, and it has to be linked with "Iron Man" , and considering the connection of the subsequent "Avengers".

To be honest, Xu Nuo is a bit of a challenge.

"Director Xu, Ah Fei and I have different views."

At the dinner, since everyone was expressing their opinions, Director Wang Shifeng expressed his own thoughts: "Director Xu, didn't we just talk about this movie universe in general, when the Avengers assembled in the end, it was to fight aliens, right? "

"Correct."

Xu Nuo nodded.

"Then if you choose the time point of 99 to shoot this movie about super soldier serum, if it is also about aliens, will there be any repetition in perception?"

Director Wang Shifeng analyzed it, and then continued: "Since every Avenger role has its own characteristics and stories, I think it's pretty good to put this story in World War II."

After listening to director Wang Shifeng's thoughts and suggestions, Xu Nuo couldn't help thinking for a moment.

Under the background of World War II, it is indeed a better idea. Whether it is the plot adaptation or the setting relationship of the entire movie universe, after all, in the movie, Iron Man's father is closely related to the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. The advancement of a series of plots.

So in this way, there is indeed more room for maneuvering in the time span from World War II to the present.

In 99, the timing is really interesting.

But it is true, as director Wang Shifeng said, after fighting the aliens in 99, when the first Avengers was assembled, they fought aliens again?

This is too easy to cause repetition in perception.

"It makes sense to say that. If you set the background in World War II, you can still beat up Xiaozizi."

He Feiyang also reacted after listening to Director Wang Shifeng, and felt that he might have taken it for granted, but Director Wang Shifeng analyzed it more thoroughly.

It is true that the background is set in World War II, which is more characteristic of the story.

"Well, since that's the case, let's set the background of the story in World War II. Director Wang, Ah Fei, what do you think is a better title for the film?"

If the background of the adaptation of "Captain America" ​​is still set in World War II, Xu Nuo will be more comfortable in filming. After all, he is familiar with it. Unlike if it was set in 99, it would be another new story.

"Super soldier?"

He Feiyang thought for a while and said.

Obviously, he thought of the title in combination with Xu Nuo's "Super Soldier Serum" movie setting, which is indeed the simplest and crudest.

But Xu Nuo felt that the title might be a little too simple and crude.

"Director Xu, combined with the script you mentioned about the background of World War II, since the male protagonist is the only soldier who successfully used the super soldier serum, he first defeated the little day with the raid team, and then united with all parties to defeat the little day but finally sacrificed himself , it has the excellent spiritual quality of our country for 5000 years, so what do you think of the title "Dragon Squad"?"

"Dragon team."

When Xu Nuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This name is really easy to pronounce, and every Huaguo person is not a descendant of the dragon, even Xu Nuo can set the protagonist's surname as the "Dragon" surname in the hundred surnames.

In this way, no matter from the macro level or the micro level, this Chinese soldier who successfully used the super soldier serum is closely related to the word "dragon".

"Director Wang's title is not bad. "Dragon Squad" has some characteristics of our country."

He Feiyang quickly praised.

Xu Nuo thinks that if the adaptation of "Captain America" ​​is actually set in World War II, then no matter whether you choose "Super Soldier", "Captain Huaguo", "Captain Peace" or other titles, it will be pretty much the same .

But the "Dragon Squad" proposed by director Wang Shifeng is indeed concise and to the point.

At that time, the captain's shield will not be the color of the American flag, but a dragon!

"Okay, then temporarily decide to set the background of the story during World War II, and then the title of the film is called "Dragon Squad". The character of Dragon Squad finally wakes up in modern times, and Iron Man and other movie characters, in A.H.I.E.L.D. Under the planning of the Bureau, the Avengers Alliance was formed."

Xu Nuo nodded, then looked at Director Wang Shifeng and asked, "Director Wang, do you have any plans for a new film project?"

"Not yet, why, Director Xu, do you want to?"

Seeing Xu Nuo asking himself this question, Wang Shifeng certainly understood what it meant.

"Yes, before the first Avengers assembly, there are probably a few major characters such as Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Dragons who can shoot related movies. I must have limited energy alone."

Xu Nuo explained: "I have already filmed "Iron Man", and "Dragon Squad" is currently in the planning stage. Director Wang, your directing ability is definitely worth mentioning, and you are also good at mythology. Why don't I leave "Thor" to you to shoot?"

The movie "Thor" must use the mythological elements of Huaguo, so there is no doubt that director Wang Shifeng is a very good choice.

"it is good."

Director Wang Shifeng was already very interested in Xu Nuo's movie universe, and Xu Nuo personally invited him, so why not agree?
"Old Xu, don't you want to shoot "Hulk" for me?"

He Feiyang suddenly became excited.

"How is it, are you confident?"

Xu Nuo asked.

He Feiyang has been shooting movies with Xu Nuo for a long time, and Xu Nuo also used him as an assistant director, especially when filming "Iron Man", because he played the protagonist Iron Man, so Xu Nuo often acted as an assistant director. When going on camera, the scheduling and directing of the filming set were all left to He Feiyang.

It turns out the guy did a pretty good job.

In addition, he has also filmed "Terminator", "Transformers", "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Iron Man" so many movies with him, and his ability has already been tempered.

"It's okay, but I'm not as good as you. I shoot real shots at every turn. Who can stand it?"

He Feiyang is quite confident about shooting a movie.

But if Xu Nuo is like Xu Nuo, he will definitely not be able to do it. This title of "real shooting madman" is the only one in the world.

"Real shots are just my personal preference." Xu Nuo shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't ask you to have to take real shots."

"That's fine!"

Seeing what Xu Nuo said, He Feiyang had confidence.

Although I can't guarantee that the filming can be as awesome as Xu Nuo's "Iron Man", but there is no problem in making a popcorn movie.

Xu Nuo had a hunch that by then, no matter whether it was "Dragon Squad" he filmed, or "Thor" and "Hulk" filmed by director Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang, they would probably be on par with him in terms of popularity and box office. An "Iron Man" can't compare, but as long as the filming is done well, it will definitely not be so bad.

At that time, the protagonists of these movies will be assembled to form the first "Avengers". The "Iron Man" alone has already exceeded 20 billion US dollars. What a strong box office appeal.

"Guan Ju, print out the scripts of the two film projects "Thor" and "Hulk", Xiaowen, you can get them."

When Xu Nuo was thinking about the Avengers, he had already worked out the scripts of "Thor" and "Hulk". Of course, the localization may not be perfect.

So Xu Nuo looked at director Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang, and said, "I'll give you the script later, if you think there are better suggestions for the plot, you can tell me as long as it doesn't affect the overall framework of the movie universe." Under the circumstances, we can discuss and optimize the plot again.”

Anyway, the two films "Thor" and "Hulk" were filmed for Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang, so they were naturally not restricted by the rules of their own system.

"it is good!"

The two answered in unison.

After a while, Wen Ruohan took the scripts of "Thor" and "Hulk" that Guan Ju had printed out, and handed them to Director Wang Shifeng and He Feiyang respectively.

Then she turned around and said to Xu Nuo: "Boss, we should prepare to leave for the airport later."

"Old Xu, where are you going?"

He Feiyang was about to open the script of "Hulk" to take a look, but after hearing the words, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Xiangyang City."

"What are you going to Xiangyang City for?"

"The National Super Collider Science Center is in Xiangyang City. There is a large-scale particle collider in my country. I went there to collect materials for my movie." Xu Nuo stood up and explained simply.

"We can't understand the brain circuits of technological geniuses."

Wang Shifeng shook his head and said to He Feiyang.

However, He Feiyang was still full of curiosity: "It's not Lao Xu, what kind of movie? You have to use a large particle collider to get material?"
