Kevin is not an old fox like Barry Mayer or Brad Gray. He has only been involved in the production work for only five years, and it has not been six months since he took over Marvel Pictures, but Kevin is absolutely It’s not a soft persimmon that was pinched casually, otherwise he wouldn’t be sitting in this position.
However, at this moment, facing Lance, Kevin seemed to be facing the vast sea. That unfathomable feeling always took the initiative without knowing it, even though Kevin still maintained his rationality. , but I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse in my mind, so I could only follow Lance’s footsteps step by step. This reminded Kevin of the gossip in Hollywood in the past year. Under the joint blockade of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, Lance seemed to be in a mess, but he could always regain the initiative. It could be done with the help of one Tom Cruise—or a couple of Tom Cruises.
“Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, and finally…the Avengers.”
Kevin withdrew his thoughts and stayed focused, “How do you plan to build the first phase of the Marvel Universe?”
Conception is one thing, and execution is another. So far, the Marvel universe is still at the theoretical stage. With the release of the scripts of “Iron Man” and “Invincible Hulk”, this also means that the theory has officially entered the stage. the practice stage.
“Under the background of the Iraq War, in order for the United States to enter the war and develop war machines, superheroes must stand up and prevent the world from falling into war. This is the core theme of the first stage.” Lance obviously came prepared, “We The Avengers can be divided into two parts. At the end of Iron Man, Tony Stark heard the news of the explosion in the San Francisco laboratory, and then hinted at the appearance of the Hulk; Bruce, who retired to the mountains, persuaded him to join hands to stop the ambitions of the American army.”
Kevin hasn’t finished reading the script of “Invincible Hulk”, so he can’t appreciate the connection, but simply nodded. But in fact, when Lance wrote the script of “The Incredible Hulk”, he conceived that the US military represented by Ross could become the dark line through the first stage, hidden under the surface of the story, connecting all the stories in series stand up.
In the last life, the concept of the Marvel Universe was not clear. At the end of “The Incredible Hulk”, Iron Man made a cameo appearance in the Easter Egg part and met with General Ross; however, once Ross’s role was incomplete, Tony’s position was natural It is also vague, making the core of the first stage of the Marvel Universe unclear. Secondly, the fiasco of “Invincible Hulk” almost kicked the Hulk out of the Marvel Universe. a role. But now, Lance has made drastic changes, trying to add more depth to the overall universe while maintaining the light-hearted popcorn essence of Marvel’s works.
However, Kevin quickly sniffed out the abnormality, “So, when Captain America comes on stage, he works for the US military, right?”
Lance nodded affirmatively, “Captain America is actually the earliest test subject in War Machine, and he is also the only successful test subject. He will definitely work for the government.”
“So, you mean, Captain America will stand on the opposite side of Iron Man and Hulk?” Kevin frowned slightly. He could smell the tricks in it, but he couldn’t sort out his thoughts for a while.
In fact, Lance is already laying the groundwork for the second phase of the Marvel Universe. However, these dark lines will not be pulled out immediately. When the right time comes, such as “Captain America 3: Civil War” and “Avengers 3 “, it will become the main thread running through the whole work, truly presenting the magnificence of the Marvel Universe. However, in a single work, it will not overwhelm the guest.
Lance chuckled, “You don’t expect all the heroes to unite for a big party, do you?” Lance didn’t answer directly, but joked.
Kevin couldn’t help but twitched his lips, “No, no, that’s not what I meant.” The United States has always paid attention to individuality and respected ideas, so it’s perfectly normal to have different ideas about the same thing; and from the perspective of filming It is meaningless to say that all the heroes in the Avengers are friendly, enthusiastic, and love each other. “But, what about Thor? He can’t be involved with the government, right?”
Thor is a “god” outside the universe.
Lance smiled, “Remember? Each movie exists independently. Even if you don’t watch other movies, it won’t have any influence, but if you watch other movies, you will find easter eggs…”
“Easter eggs!” Kevin also reacted and said first.
Lance nodded in affirmation, “The story of Thor’s work is still based on Asgard, the eternal realm. However, when he came to Earth, he met his girlfriend. In the comics, this girlfriend is a nurse, but we Can be modified slightly, girlfriend becomes a scientist, her research is supported by the government…”
Even if Lance didn’t say the following words, Kevin would have reacted, “Then my girlfriend found out that the government/government was trying to turn her research into a war machine, so she started to object, and Thor also stood by her side.”
“Or,” Lance added, “Captain America found Thor, thinking that his power could save people suffering from disasters in the war, and his girlfriend expressed support, so Thor stood on Captain America’s side.” Kevin rolled his eyes Liang, he realized that Lance hadn’t written the script of “Thor” yet, and they could make plans based on the situation after the release of “Iron Man” and “Invincible Hulk”, “Or, Thor refuses to participate Into the struggle of human beings, so neither side will help, so they withdraw from the war.”
At this time, Kevin finally understands what Lance’s so-called “Marvel Universe” means. Each movie is independent, but the unity will bury the dark thread. If the character is successful, the dark thread will be pulled out smoothly. Draw out the story behind; if the movie fails, then bury the dark thread and make the character absent from the later works, which will not affect the overall puzzle at all.
“So, in the ‘Avengers’, you plan to fight against the government/government?” Kevin couldn’t help but have such thoughts.
No, Lance shook his head again, “No, ‘Avengers’ I intend to continue the story of ‘Thor’. After Thor repelled Loki in Asgard, Loki united with foreign enemies and began to invade the earth. As a result, the Avengers had to temporarily put aside their differences and unite in order to save the earth.”
Unexpectedly, completely unexpected, Kevin found more and more that Lance knew the Marvel Universe like the back of his hand, and this feeling was extremely exciting. He was already gearing up to devote himself to the first phase of the Marvel Universe. Just when everyone thought that superheroes were about to fight, Lance united everyone with a crisis of earth destruction. This will not only increase fans’ recognition and love for heroes, but also make the entire Marvel Universe The backstory gets fleshed out.
“So what about their differences?” Kevin couldn’t help being curious.
Lance said of course, “It can become the main line of the second stage, further digging into the story of each character, or, we can adjust the core thinking and reset the story according to changes in current events.”
“Wow.” Kevin couldn’t help but sighed softly. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn’t help but sigh again, “Wow! What should I say?”
“Yes (Yes)?” Lance’s answer made Kevin stunned, and then burst into laughter. Lance was reminding them of their cooperation: whether they are willing to jointly develop the Marvel Universe.
Kevin nodded, his smile was slightly retracted, and he gave the expected answer, “Okay.” As long as he really listened to Lance’s vision for the Marvel Universe, Kevin believed that no one in the creative committee would disagree with it. This cooperation is simply… exciting.
“However, I still want to take this script back.” Kevin raised the “Invincible Hulk” script in his hand, “As for the Marvel Universe… Is it possible for you to come to our company to give a report in person?”
“I don’t have time.” Lance shook his head and refused without any hesitation, which disappointed Kevin, “However, Theo will bring a team to Marvel Studios to communicate with you further. The framework of Microcosm, and of course, the cooperation between the two companies.”
“Perfect, perfect!” Kevin patted his palm lightly with the rolled up script, and his mind has started to run fast – in this cooperation, what position should Marvel Studios put itself~www. readmtl.com~ What interests should they strive for, and what results should they expect. At this moment, Kevin returned to the position of CEO, planning for the future of the company.
“I think today’s meeting will be like this for the time being.” Lance interrupted Kevin’s thoughts, Kevin looked up at Lance, nodded in agreement, “I need to go back and organize my thoughts now, you know, Today’s information is really too much.” Kevin pointed to his head with the script, and the simple words were full of deep meaning.
While speaking, Kevin stood up and was about to leave, “Thank you, Lance, thank you. I hope we can cooperate happily.” Kevin stretched out his right hand with a big smile on his face. With Lance’s guarantee, Not only “Iron Man”, Kevin believes that the rise of Marvel Studios is just around the corner.
Lance took Kevin’s right hand and shook it lightly, “Of course, happy cooperation.” Released his right hand, watching Kevin turn and leave, Lance suddenly remembered something, “By the way, Kevin “Kevin stopped and turned around, “I forgot to tell you, I will be in charge of directing ‘Hulk’.”
With a simple sentence, Kevin froze on the spot, thought about it carefully, and then showed a helpless smile, tilted his head and looked at Lance, and said wordlessly, “I knew it.” (unfinished To be continued.) Enable new URL
