Chapter 569 Easter eggs

"My character is still a normal person than the female vampire in "The Legend of the Night".

After putting on makeup, Scarlett Johnson stood next to Duke, watching the busy debugging equipment in other departments of the crew, it seemed that the past chattering problem was about to look up, "Serina is almost a thousand years old, Natasha Normanov is less than a hundred years old."

She said to Duke with a bitter face, "Why must I set my character so old?"

Duke was too lazy to pay attention to her and didn't even turn his head.

"Is it popular with female characters like Serena now?" Scarlett seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice could make Duke hear it. "Salina took a cold and gorgeous route, which is different from Natasha Normanov's style."

"That's right." Duke finally spoke, "Natasha Normanov and Serena are two completely different characters."

Maybe I heard Duke's tone was very serious, and Scarlett Johnson also changed to a role discussing work. He is a master of close combat..."

"Not exactly right, Ska." Duke was discussing the role with her. "Natasha Normanov is not a close combat expert, but a murderer. She has received rigorous training from the former Soviet Union and learned all her fatal attack ability. She also fought side by side with Captain America on the battlefield of World War II, and has seen enough cruelty and blood..."

Unlike the former Agent Natasha Normanoff, Duke took the comic description in her character setting.

Like Steve Rogers, Natasha Normanov, who was once used by the former Soviet Union and Hydra for experiments, would also be an ageless monster.

Of course, Duke still uses some popular elements, such as Natasha Normanov, who will tease many of the next superheroes.

However, this female agent will adhere to a basic principle. Love is a child's trick. There will be no emotional scenes that are so bloody that people cannot look at directly.

The filming was still a while before it began, and Scarlett stood beside Duke and discussed some questions about the characters and the film with him.

Duke also told her her request directly, "Ska. Your character is as deadly as a nickname."

"Are you sure such a female character will be welcome?"

Hearing Scarlett's question, Duke simply said, "How many people don't like the action scenes of beautiful and sexy women?"

"Yes, Angelina Jolie's "Grave Robbers" and Kate Beckinsale's "The Legend of the Night" both responded well." Scarlett seemed to have thought of something. He said, "I heard that DC Comics and Warner Bros. are also interested in making a live-action movie of "Wonder Woman".

"Not for the time being." Duke shook his head, "I rejected it."

Scarlett knew Duke's say in the DC comics series and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why?"

"Because Anna Prinz is different from Laura Crawford, Serena and Natasha Normanov. She has too strong feminism."

Speaking of this, Duke briefly explained a few words, "Why can Anna Prinz become the most famous female superhero? It's not just because she appeared early, but also the feminist label that cannot be erased from her."

"But, her comics are very popular," Scarlett continued.

Duke hugged his arms and continued to explain the reason, "Comics and movies are completely different carriers, and the effects brought by the latter are more direct and shocking. Although female audiences are rising, and even in some love or light comedy movies, they can account for about 60% of the market share, but the investment scale of superhero movies has determined that female audiences alone cannot support the market."

"How to deal with Anna? Prinz's feminist ideas and remarks will be a big problem," Duke said. "If you move closer to the comics, you will inevitably lose a lot of male audiences. But abandoning the feminist color, comic fans and those feminist organizations will probably bring a lot of trouble."

"Do you want to give up the movie version of "Wonder Woman"?" Scarlett seemed a little unwilling.

Duke shook his head, "It's not a question of giving up, it's just that the current time period is not suitable. There will be opportunities in the future."

Films are deeply influenced by the social environment. With the continuous rise of feminist movements, feminist films that are not popular in the mainstream market will inevitably change in the future.

Strictly speaking, among the three giants of justice, "Wonder Woman" is indeed the most difficult to shoot, and its difficulty is even greater than "Superman". Anna Prinz's demigod identity will first affect the sense of substitution, and various thoughts and languages ​​that are above men are more in conflict with this patriarchal society.

“It’s ready.”

The voice of the assistant director's notification interrupted Duke's thoughts, he nodded to Scarlett Johnson and walked back behind the director's monitor.

Scarlett Johnson, wearing tight agent suit, found action guide Jimmy Carter, and he was mainly responsible for the next action scenes.

This part of the play is not complicated. It tells the story of Agent Colson who wanted to lead people to arrest Obadaiya Stein, but was attacked by the opponent's "Iron Overlord". After Iron Man arrived for support, he was besieged by the opponent's mercenary team. Natasha Normanov, who was undercover in Stark's company, arrived in time and killed and defeated the mercenaries in a close fight, and rescued Pepper Pots and Agent Colson.

The shooting began quickly. Like all action scenes, Natasha Normanov's fight scene was dismantled into countless clips. The long shots were only a dozen seconds, and the shortest ones were only a few seconds. In addition to the actors' prior training and drills, the action scenes in the film depended on post-production editing.

Whether it is a Hong Kong movie or a Hollywood action movie, action scenes that have not been edited through action are basically fake and terrible.

Jimmy Carter stole the stolen master Yuan Heping and incorporated some action elements from Hong Kong into modern fighting. After several films, he gradually began to mature. Combined with the characteristics of the comics, he specially tailored some sharp and direct fighting techniques for Scarlett.

Natasha Normanov's action scenes are not fancy at all. All the moves are to kill the enemy. The various equipment she equipped with is also a murderous weapon carefully crafted by the prop group that is suitable for close combat.

According to general principles, if such a fighting method is not combined with the heavy-taste scene of blood-sucking, the effect in the camera is actually not good, but this video is absolutely impossible to have bloodsucking. Otherwise, the grading of PG-13 will definitely be ruined. If the video is rated as R-level, it will lose a lot of teenage audiences.

But after the filming of the day, Duke simply edited these shots and found that as he expected, Natasha Normanov's action scenes were full of attraction. If it weren't for too few scenes, it might even steal the limelight of the protagonist Tony Stark.

The reason is very, very simple. Those fierce fighting methods seem simple and do not seem to be much ornamental, but when the person who used these was Scarlett Johnson, everything changed.

How pleasing is it to a sexy and beautiful woman who uses extremely sharp techniques to attack several times more than her enemies?

In Duke's view, Scarlett Johnson is enough to make many teenagers with strong hormone secretion suffer from nose bleeding.

Of course, only a very small number of these action scenes were completed by Scarlett himself.

In fact, it is very simple to distinguish. All the shots with clear close-ups of the face were done by Scarlett Johnson himself. The back, sides and long hair covering the face were all done by two substitutes.

And among the two substitutes, one is a male substitute with a very similar back to Scarlett, who is specifically responsible for completing those particularly difficult movements.

When the film was released, the male audience who drooled at Scarlett Johnson's sexy back would not have thought that the object they fantasized about at that moment was simply a man.

But this is the movie, this is the magical effect brought by the movie.

Although she has been preparing for the preliminary preparation for several months, Scarlett has not had many scenes. The movie is called "Iron Man" instead of "Black Widow", and she just connects one of the revenge characters.

Among the people who appeared in this episode, in addition to Natasha Normanov, Agent Colson and their boss Nick Fury, Tony Stark's lines also mention the past of his father, such as Howard Stark not only fought side by side with Steve Rogers, but also was a friend with him...

However, this is just the beginning of the big series. Many things are mentioned a little bit and will not give too much explanation. After all, there are still a series of videos that will be filmed and produced later.

After about ten days of filming, Scarlett Johnson's scene gradually came to an end.

It was pitch black on the set, and the light before dawn shone in through the window, Scarlett Johnson stood beside Samuel Jackson in one-eyed costume.

"Mr. Stark, do you think you are the only superhero in the world?"

Faced with his question, Robert Downey Jr. turned his eyes to Scarlett Johnson, "I never thought so, isn't there a female superhero standing beside you?"

He changed into a somewhat angry look, "Why did you come to my company to be undercover? Who are you?"

"I am a person worthy of your trust." Scarlett Johnson looked straight at him, as if he wanted to find someone's shadow, but in the end he gave up, saying, "I have fought side by side with your father Howard Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers..."

"How is this possible?" Tony Stark was a little surprised.

Scarlett gave him a few photos. On it, he was tracking him crazy on the ice field. When he found the plane under the glacier, he needed your help and needed you to wear steel suits and penetrate into the ice to rescue your father's life and death friendship!"

There is no doubt that this is the easter egg Duke prepared for the film. (To be continued.)
