Chapter 151 Crazy Hulk, anti-hero setting

Ovitz's hand holding the pen paused for a moment.

After Jamie's dictation of the plot progressed to this point, a minor BUG appeared. Since the researcher could no longer stand the idea of ​​General Ross conducting illegal human experiments on homeless people, why didn't he come forward and report it himself?

If a professional Hollywood screenwriter were sitting here, he would definitely scoff at this question.

How about I give you a pen and you write it?

Banner is the protagonist. If it is not written this way, how can he be involved in the plot line?

Besides, it is not easy to explain the other party's motives. For example, his family is threatened and controlled by General Ross, and he is worried about being retaliated by General Ross, etc.

Jamie's dictation did not pause because of Ovitz's hesitation, and his voice continued.

"Banner didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first. Now he just wants to figure out the abnormality in his body. But when he went downstairs to the supermarket to buy things, he passed by the corner where the homeless man used to stay. Banner would chat with him on weekdays. After a few words, the other party was considered one of the few friends in his low-level life, so Banner began to hesitate."

After hearing this, Ovitz stopped writing again and looked up at Jamie with confusion.

This plot always feels a bit redundant. According to the discussion of Hollywood commercial films, shouldn't the male protagonist be filled with indignation and justice as soon as he hears about illegal human experimentation, and start investigating immediately?

Why have I become a mother-in-law and become hesitant?

Jamie smiled and asked:

"Do you think the protagonist is timid?"

Ovitz shrugged.

"Is this a character design you deliberately designed for the male protagonist?"

Jamie nodded, acknowledging this.

Ovitz didn't say anything, but he became more and more curious.

Will the audience like Bruce Banner, a timid and hesitant protagonist?

Jamie didn't immediately explain why, but continued.

"Banner finally decided to find out about it secretly and then find a safe way to expose it, so he called his ex-girlfriend Betty to make an appointment."

"Betty arrived as scheduled, and after meeting, they chatted about their current situation. Betty told Banner that she was engaged, and her fiancé was Emil Blonsky, the most admired subordinate of her father, General Ross, a commander of a special forces commando."

"Banner pretended to bless Betty generously, and Betty was concerned about the academic scandal that caused Banner's reputation to fall. She firmly believed that Banner would not cheat, and she wanted to help Banner restore his reputation."

"Banner resisted the urge to tell Betty the truth, deliberately changed the topic, and asked about the progress of gamma ray research. Betty told Banner that she had been transferred from the project team six months ago, but she still entered Laboratory permissions.”

"Then taking advantage of Betty going to the bathroom, Banner stole the access card from Betty's bag. After the meeting, he immediately went home and put on a decent suit that had been hidden in the closet for many years, cleaned himself up and disguised himself Researcher Cheng, relying on his familiarity with the members of the experimental project team, successfully deceived the security guards and entered the institute."

"In the deepest part of the institute, Banner found a laboratory that even Betty's access card did not have permission to enter. At this time, two researchers pulled out the body of a homeless man who had failed the experiment. Banner who was hiding aside Na witnessed the homeless man who had turned into a monster due to gamma ray radiation, and the tattoo on the other man's arm made Banner recognize him as his old friend who had been missing for many days."

"Banner gave up decisively. On the one hand, he knew that General Ross must have received some kind of instruction from above if he dared to conduct such a bold and crazy human experiment. Even if he did expose this matter, he would be quickly dealt with by the forces behind him. .”

"On the other hand, Banner is more worried about himself. Although he doesn't know how much gamma rays those homeless people were exposed to to turn into this ghostly appearance, Banner definitely doesn't want to become a monster himself."

"On the way to escape from the institute, Banner accidentally exposed himself. The special operations team arranged by the military at the institute immediately launched a search for him. Banner fled desperately in panic and fear, and was finally blocked in a small house. "

The story ends abruptly.

Ovitz stopped writing and looked up.

"The Hulk appears?"

Jamie shrugged.

This is obvious.

"How long do you think it would be appropriate to control the scene before the Hulk appears?" Ovitz asked.

Jamie replied without hesitation:

"It should not exceed half an hour at most. Even the foreplay of Banner being irradiated by gamma rays and being framed by General Ross does not need to be filmed directly. The background can be explained clearly through the protagonist's memories or other methods."

"This scene is mainly to shape Banner's original character, a weak loser who is always hesitant to look forward and backward when encountering problems."

Ovitz hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart until now after hearing the story.

"Did you design Banner with such a character to contrast sharply with the Hulk's personality and create a highly contrasting dramatic effect?"

Applause rang out.

When it was over, Jamie put down his hand and looked at Ovitz with relief.

"In reality, Banner is submissive, turns into a fat green man and punches hard. What do you think of this design?"

Ovitz told the truth.

"It's very bold and adventurous, and it's also very innovative. At least I don't know of any similar movies that have been made like this."

Jamie immediately asked again:

"Compared with Li An's script, how about it? Which one do you think Universal executives will favor more?"

This question really stuns Ovitz.

One is a bold attempt to break the rules, and the other is a commercial film adapted from a comic by an artistic film director. It’s hard to say which one is more risky.

The most important thing is that Jamie's story has not yet been told, and it is too early to draw conclusions now.

"How long do you plan to design this fight scene where the Hulk appears?"

Jamie shrugged and replied:

"At least ten minutes or more."

Ovitz was stunned on the spot.

Just ten minutes after coming out. Is this going to tear down the entire institute?

Jamie snapped his fingers at Ovitz triumphantly.

"The answer is correct. The Hulk's combat power and destructive power are top-notch, so the film should leave an intuitive and deep impression on the audience as soon as it appears." "Action design is not my strong point. I only have one request. , the Hulk’s action design does not need to be constrained by any sense of right and wrong or morality. The more enjoyable the fight, the better.”

Ovitz was shocked again.

According to Jamie's description, what is the difference between the Hulk and the villains in the movie?

Jamie replied excitedly:

"That's right, you can just shoot the Hulk as a villain. This is an anti-hero design. You don't have to worry about being too cruel or unfair. First of all, this is the character of the Hulk in the comics. There is no enemy or friend. Just destroy everything in front of you."

"Returning to movies, such recklessly designed fighting action scenes can bring a kind of sensory stimulation to the audience that normal movies cannot provide."

This trick has been tried and tested in Hollywood in the previous life. "Venom", the target of Jamie's copycat adaptation, successfully broke out of the industry by relying on the anti-hero brand.

The most exciting part of that movie was watching Venom eat people in various ways. Such a plot was completely unimaginable in previous superhero movies.

Of course, there is a premise for this. Whether it is Venom or the current Hulk, they must kill bad people.

Venom is a villain in his own right, so the threshold can be lower, but that cannot be the case with the Hulk.

That's why Jamie placed the Hulk's first appearance in a research institute where illegal human experiments were conducted.

No matter whether the people here know it or not, at least no one is innocent. The Hulk wreaks havoc and kills people here, which will not cause any emotional resistance from the audience.

Ovitz's mouth dropped open.

He decided to take back his previous comment.

Jamie’s design is not bold, but directly crazy!

Even so, Ovitz must admit that Jamie's design of this anti-heroic Hulk can definitely open up a new field in superhero movies.

After hearing Jamie's description, Ovitz couldn't wait to see the Hulk's second appearance.

As for Banner, the real protagonist, he has become a real foil at this moment.

"The Hulk left the scene after completely destroying the research institute and the troops who came to support him. Banner, who regained control of his body, stole a suit of clothes from a nearby home and put them on, and then immediately gave them to the man who helped him secretly study body abnormalities. The transformed university professor called and told the other party that there was a green monster living in his body. Once the other party was angered by the outside world, he would transform and take away Banner's control of his body."

"The university professor initially thought that Banner was suffering from mental illness and suggested that he see a psychiatrist. It was not until he saw the news of an accident and explosion in the institute on TV that he was sure that Banner was not lying."

"Although the university professor was very interested in Banner's situation, he still gave the most pertinent advice, asking Banner to flee the United States immediately, otherwise the military will definitely find him and seize him for study."

"Banner was lucky at first, because the entire research institute was destroyed by the Hulk, and General Ross would not be able to find him so quickly. As a result, as soon as he returned home, he went to the nearby streets and saw him from a distance. Went downstairs to the apartment and were surrounded by police cars.”

"Banner was so frightened that he ran away immediately. After several years of being on the run, he finally hid in a soda factory in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."

"One day Banner accidentally cut his hand, and his blood fell into a batch of drinks. The drinks were then exported across the ocean to the United States, and were drank into the stomach by an old man, who turned into a green monster. , exploded and died.”

"The cheap old man, General Ross, followed this clue, locked the location of Banner's hiding place, and sent an elite task force to Brazil, led by Betty's fiancé, Emil Blonsky."

While Ovitz was recording, he had already guessed that the Hulk was about to appear for the second time.

But he only guessed the outcome correctly, but not the beginning.

Jamie did not repeat the old plot of the last time the Hulk appeared, being forced into a desperate situation and then transformed. Instead, Banner faced the task force that suddenly attacked the factory, and was caught by the opponent without much resistance.

After boarding the military plane returning to the United States, Emil Blonsky interrogated Banner alone. He mainly wanted to know whether Banner and Betty were still disconnected.

Banner had a tough mouth and deliberately said something to annoy Blonsky, which naturally resulted in a beating and kicking.

Banner then said with a smile, "You pissed him off" with his mouth full of blood.

Following the Hulk's appearance, he beat up the people on the plane, eventually smashed the entire plane, and jumped from an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.

In the end, of course Banner would be fine, but what was outrageous was that Blonsky also survived the plane crash, at the cost of being paralyzed.

Banner, who had escaped capture, contacted the university professor again, who excitedly told him that a targeted drug that could inhibit the emergence of the Hulk had been developed.

Banner immediately left to return to the United States.

After meeting the professor, Banner immediately took the suppressive drug.

In order to test the effect of the potion, Banner deliberately went to a slum with a high crime rate and deliberately angered a group of gangsters who didn't look like good people.

As a result, Banner was severely beaten by these gangsters. His face was covered with blood and his body was covered with injuries, but he smiled happily.

He thought that the suppressive medicine was really effective and that the monster in his body would not appear again.

But in fact, this is just a joke played by the Hulk in the body.

It deliberately failed to show itself, leading Banner to think he had successfully gotten rid of it.

The happy Banner found Betty, told all the truth to his ex-girlfriend, and then left again.

At the same time, General Ross also found the university professor and obtained Banner's blood sample from him.

A bold and crazy plan was born in the mind of General Ross. He decided to inject Banner's blood into the experimental subjects, and at the same time expose the subjects to high-intensity gamma rays, so that they could create biological weapons like the Hulk. .

Blonsky, who was completely paralyzed, volunteered to become an experimental subject, and eventually survived gamma ray radiation, turning into a super monster that could not regain his human form. Abomination!

His hatred for Blonsky changed drastically. He refused to obey General Ross's order. At the same time, he did not believe that the Hulk who beat him into a cripple would really be eliminated by a small bottle of inhibitory potion, so he kidnapped Betty and traveled across the country. The TV show publicly called Banner to ask for a fight.

Although Banner wanted to save Betty after seeing the TV show, he thought that the Hulk had been eliminated by the inhibitory drug, and that when he returned to normal, he went to find Blonsky to die, so he decisively chose to run away.

As a result, at this time, the Hulk in the body stopped pretending.

The reason it was enraged this time was that an impostor who relied on his blood to gain great power dared to challenge it, so he transformed directly and rushed to New York to fight against the abomination.

The fat green man was careless at first, and was pushed to the ground by hatred and beaten with a hammer.

Later, the green fat man finally awakened to the top-level BUFF, which became stronger and stronger as he became more angry. He hated being fucked when he failed to show off, and in the end, the green fat man was hammered to death.
