Chapter 859 close cooperation

Edward Norton is an excellent actor, there is no doubt about it, whether it is “Fight Club”, which is sought after by countless fans, or “First Fear” and “American X-Files”, which won Oscar nominations, or The stylized “Kingdom of Moonrise,” “Birdman,” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” all testify to his talent and ability.

Unfortunately, in the “Invincible Hulk” of the previous life, Edward hardly got much room to play. Even Bruce Banner’s loneliness and struggle did not show. The temperament of a weak scholar was exposed, and he seemed out of place. This is undoubtedly a major failure of director Louis.

In fact, Bruce’s bookish temperament and the violent madness after turning into the Hulk can be said to be the double sky of ice and fire. This huge difference can on the contrary highlight Bruce’s inner struggle and highlight his eagerness to get rid of the Hulk. The visual impact to the audience is also doubled. From this perspective, the three versions of the Hulk, Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton and Eric Bana, more or less have this kind of temperament, and the casting itself is not a big problem. Unfortunately, Louis No one has been able to exploit this cleverly.

What’s more, Edward once played a racial discriminator in “American X-Files”, and the image of the cruel and **** perpetrator is impressive. In that work, Edward’s temperament changes without any sense of disobedience, and the character is presented seamlessly. This also shows that Edward has the ability to interpret tough characters, but this is not seen in “Invincible Hulk”.

From the point of view of performance, there is no problem for Edward to play “Invincible Hulk”, he has enough ability to meet the requirements of Lance; but from the point of view of genre movies, Edward needs more training—not just exercise Muscles, but to make the escaping action look more handsome, even if he fled embarrassingly, it should be more photogenic. This is very important for superhero movies.

An example of a simple comparison is Matt Damon in “The Bourne Shadow” and Ben Affleck in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”. They also exercise muscles. Matt is just right, even slightly thin, but this This kind of refinement is vividly displayed in the sharp action scenes; but Ben is a little over-trained, and the whole person looks too strong, so that he looks a little fat after being photographed, and has trouble moving. Many action scenes even look extremely clumsy. Seriously affected the viewing effect.

What Edward needs is not muscle, but flexibility, especially the sharpness of running and fighting movements, which presents the temperament of Indiana Jones, which is both professorial and heroic.

Maybe he should ask Edward to come out and talk in detail, and exchange opinions with each other. Although the two are good friends and have maintained similar views in film, performance, drama, etc., the two have never cooperated, and Edward and Lance are both stubborn people who insist on what they see, so such cooperation is either Reach an agreement and go smoothly, or disagree and fall apart. So, they need to have a good conversation.

From Edward, Lance also thought of the choice of two roles, Betty and Brodsky. The “Invincible Hulk” of the previous life, these two roles were played by Liv-Tyler (Liv-Tyler) and Tim-Ross (Tim-Ross).

In Lance’s view, these two castings are not missteps, but they are far from successful. Acting is certainly a part of it, but the more important reason is that the actor did not fit the temperament of the character. As an actor whose acting skills are commendable, Tim seems out of place with the cold-blooded and crazy Brodsky, and even some plays, not acting skills No, but neither the director nor the actors have found a correct entry point; Betty played by Liv is not even a vase, the whole movie process seems to be dissociated, and even some scenes seem a bit redundant, This is definitely a fatal injury to genre movies. Even as a vase, the heroine should also become a beautiful landscape in the popcorn—

What impressed Lance the most was “King Kong”. Leaving aside the quality of the film, the scene of Naomi Watts in a white dress hunting on the Empire State Building has the grandeur and solemnity of a Shakespeare tragedy. It really adds a lot to the movie. But in “The Incredible Hulk,” Liv is mostly in shirts and jeans, as if the stylist and director hadn’t communicated at all.

For a truly great film, every link counts.

If Lance were to choose the roles, it is certain that he would not choose Liv and Tim. As for the specific candidates, he needs to re-conceive and think carefully after the script is completed.

The script creation process of “Invincible Hulk” is indeed exciting, but the speed of advancement is not fast at all. Lance must consider every detail, especially the rhythm control of the script, not to mention the script of “Iron Man”. It needs to be conceived and typed out word by word, and the workload is huge, which is not inferior to that during the filming of “Fury Road”.

This kind of creative process actually reminded Lance of the time when he wrote the script of “City of God”. It will be recorded for the first time, it seems that the whole brain is revolving around the story and the characters, from time to time there will be whimsical ideas, those characters are vivid in the mind, as if they have been given life.

It’s like now, he came to the coffee house thirty minutes earlier, and there will be a meeting later, but suddenly thought of some details to polish, and couldn’t wait to start recording.

“Hey, look who this is, isn’t this Lancelot?” A voice sounded in the ear, with a hint of excitement in the joy, but Lance didn’t look up, just raised his left hand to make a stop gesture, and then continued to concentrate on quickly recording something on the toilet paper he found at hand, and Kevin Fitch was a little embarrassed by his attitude of being alone.

Glancing at the toilet paper secretly, it was a pity that the scribbled handwriting could not be read clearly at all. Kevin could only lick his dry lips, and carefully sat down opposite Lance, looking left and right, the waiter was far away. He cast his gaze from a distance, intending to come over to provide services, but Kevin glanced at Lance, stopped the waiter from moving, and relaxed his breathing, lest he would interrupt Lance’s work.

After a while, Lance sat up straight, quickly scanned the toilet paper, and after confirming that he had not missed the flash of inspiration just now, he folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket, only then did he notice the person sitting opposite him. Kevin, “Kevin, when did you arrive?” Apparently Lance didn’t realize what happened just now, it was just a subconscious move.

Kevin originally wanted to explain, but the words lingered on the tip of his tongue, and he shook his head, “Just sit down.” Then he beckoned the waiter over, “Give me a latte, and A piece of black forest…” Kevin looked at the table in front of Lance, there was only a lonely cup of coffee, “Do you need some food?”

Lance nodded and said to the waiter, “A piece of tiramisu, thank you.”

After watching the waiter turn and leave, Kevin pointed to the direction of Lance’s pocket with his eyes, “So, are you still busy recently?”

“The script, I’m still working on the Marvel script.” Lance said simply. Needless to say, the Marvel Universe is now the core focus of Lance’s work.

“Oh, the script.” A bright smile appeared on Kevin’s face immediately, “I must say, the script is really good, you know, the cartoonists in our company have read the script, Stan Lee (Stan-Lee) ), Larry-Lieber, Jack-Kirby and more, we all think you’ve done a fantastic job, fantastic, really fantastic!”

Kevin did not hold back his praise. Five days ago, Lance sent the first draft of the “Iron Man” script to Marvel Pictures. The first draft of the script was circulated within the company. Unexpectedly, it won the creative The committee praised it unanimously, but there are some purely comic details similar to Iron Man’s armor setting that need to be revised. As for the plot, characters, and main line, there are no problems at all. This is definitely a first-of-its-kind experience—you know, even for “Spider-Man”, which won the box office and won word of mouth, the creative committee is quite critical~www.readmtl.com~Because Sony Pictures Many of the idiosyncrasies of manga were stripped out in order to cater to the masses.

Although Lance is well-known, two Oscar-winning screenwriters are enough to see his ability; but the script of “Iron Man” is still eye-catching, which is really good for Kevin news. The cooperation between Marvel Pictures and Chaos Pictures is one step closer.

“I talked with Theo on the phone this morning, and we have reached a preliminary consensus that the two companies will work together to shoot this work, with an investment cost between 100 million and 150 million. In addition, part of the cost will be paid for the shooting. We will hold a meeting to discuss the specific situation.” While Lance was busy with the script, Kevin and Theo also had frequent contacts. The most important obstacle has been resolved, and it is foreseeable that the next negotiation will be very smooth, “So, have you made a decision? Are you going to play the role of Tony Stark yourself? In my opinion, no one is better than you It fits even better!”

Kevin’s tone became obviously relaxed, and the smoothness of the matter was far beyond imagination.

Lance twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, “Don’t be so anxious, I have a more ambitious blueprint for ‘Iron Man’, don’t you plan to listen to it?” Kevin couldn’t help being stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
