"A true hero needs more than combat power." Duke raised his right hand and pointed to his chest, "and still have a firm mind."

According to the script setting, Ferosa is an action-oriented person, and behind a series of actions, she also has an extremely strong heart.

Over the years, superhero movies have been bombarded continuously, and topics such as "Batman and Iron Man fight, who will win?" seem to never go out of date. For superheroes, everyone's focus seems to be on combat effectiveness. Rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation, people with superpowers, and those who don't have superpowers will also need to spend money. In short, superheroes are a group of guys who can fight more than ordinary people.

However, don’t forget that the super villain is also a group of guys who are rich and super abilities, even more awesome than the protagonist. Whether it is Ninja Master, Lai Tu, Hydra, Ultron, who doesn’t spend money to catch up with the protagonist’s team?

The reason why heroes become heroes is not only because of their combat effectiveness, but also because they have a strong heart.

Although this sentence is cliché, it is precisely this that made Iron Man give up his identity as a weapon merchant and put on iron armor, allowing Batman to uncover the Playboy's mask and turn into a dark knight, and let Spider-Man be so poor that he is still working in class to save the world.

It is not because they are stronger than ordinary people that they need to protect the world, but because they have firm beliefs and determination to fight for them that they need to work hard to become stronger.

Hearing this, Charlize Theron showed a thoughtful look, and after thinking for a few minutes, he said, "Ferosa can be said to be one of the outstanding female characters I have encountered. It is indeed as you said. The character is outstanding not because she is stronger in combat, but because she is first and for one in the movie. It is not for the person who appears in love with the protagonist, but secondly, it is a woman."

"Rampant Road" is definitely the opposite of the popular science fiction movies today. Even Duke has to admit that even if it appears in the Marvel series continuously, Agent Natasha Normanoff, who is extremely important to the entire series, is actually a foil for men. In the two movies in which she appeared, the world is still saved without Black Widow.

The image of Black Widow is also quite single "beautiful and sexy" - the audience's impression of Black Widow is that it is as rigid as "the front and back are raised, the back are good in figure, and the combat power is super cool in character". It has not considered whether it will be inconvenient for people on the battlefield to dress like this.

However, Ferosa is different. Duke has already made plans. In the whole film, although she has a beautiful face, she has a big bald head cut; although she has long legs, she is wrapped in her pants without showing it once.

Basically, her treatment is the same as Tom Cruise, who has muscles but never has a big shirt. The plot line she walks basically has nothing to do with whether she is a girl or not. She cooperates with the male protagonist and is even more outstanding, and it is very reasonable not to fall in love at the critical moment of war.

In Duke's last few years, why did countless movie fans like the male characters in yy superhero movies to be a gang? Because the back is only given to you for protection at the critical moment of life and death, the tacit understanding of you charging into battle and I sniping at a long range is much more exciting than the heroes who save the princess and pretend to be hypocritical!

Duke and Charlize Theron went to the stunt department, and the robotic arm designed specifically for Charlize was ready according to his body proportions.

With the help of two staff members, Charlize Theron put on the mechanical fake hand.

She flipped her prosthetic arm and looked at it, saying to Duke, "I'm not only bald, but also a broken arm."

Duke shrugged but didn't accept her words. In fact, the truth is very simple. A woman can climb such a high position in a doomsday world and will definitely give more than a man.

These settings are also in line with the usual ways of Hollywood movies. In Hollywood movies, the future is either a good mess or a madness that turns into the end of the world.

After seeing off Charlize Theron, Duke summoned Anna Prinz and others to the studio, watched the video of the second audition together, and determined the remaining main actors.

The five angels from Victoria's Secret were first unanimously approved, and the biggest role of these characters in the film is embellishment.

The remaining two important roles are basically confirmed. James Franko plays the role of "Son of War" Nux, and Anthony Hopkins plays the villain Oss Immortal Old Joe.

Of course, these will not be determined after Charles Rowan negotiates with their agents.

The literary scenes in this film are almost too few to be ignored, and all the preliminary work is almost always preparing for action scenes.

After being recognized by Duke, various prop cars quickly moved to the modification stage, but the huge amount of more than 150 vehicles is not something that can be completed in the short term. Duke also left enough time for the prop group and other departments to complete it before the shooting starts in December.

"Raging Road" is still a bit tight to catch up with the Cannes Film Festival in May next year. Duke reserved 80 days for the filming time for the film, but many important stunts need to be filmed on the spot, and he also made plans to exceed the shooting period.

Such a movie is much more complicated to shoot than those green screen movies.

Duke is not opposed to green screen CG technology, and he agrees with this technology that can streamline the shooting process, which also represents the future development direction.

Film development is always closely related to technological progress, just like the progress of productivity, which is unstoppable for anyone.

However, compared to on-site shooting, the cg special effects that are outstanding are often more expensive.

As we all know, it is very expensive to make movie CG special effects, but specifically, where is the money spent? How much does a movie cost to produce satisfactory special effects?

There are many places that cost money to make movie special effects, and the largest proportion is labor costs. Large productions like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Spider-Man" often use teams of hundreds of people in post-production.

In Hollywood, many major investment movie special effects are handled by more than ten or even more than twenty special effects companies and studios. Many are animators, synthesisers, etc. with many years of work experience, and their salaries will definitely not be low.

At the same time, the production cycle of a considerable number of films can last up to several years, so the expenses are naturally indispensable.

To put it simply, good special effects are piled up with money.

In the country where Duke once lived, countless movies and TV series were criticized as 50 cents special effects. In fact, the gap between them did not entirely come from technology.

Many of Hollywood special effects companies are outsourced to studios around the world, and some of them are produced on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and technical factors are not the key.

Duke has worked hard in the industry on the other side and is very clear that this gap mainly comes from two aspects.

First, capital. Looking around the world, movies in any country cannot reach the level of investment in mainstream Hollywood production. The market and audience of these movies also determine that film companies cannot invest so much money, and capital is the key to making special effects.

The second is the production concept, which has a greater impact than funds.

In mainstream Hollywood production, replacing real-life shooting with green screen often means more money, post-production time and the requirement for excellence in the picture; and in the industry Duke used to be, when there were great difficulties and problems in building real-life scenes, directors or producers would use cgi special effects technology. In their inherent concept, this is just an alternative way to save time and money, and the final effect can be imagined.

There is a very interesting thing in the special effects industry. If you want to achieve 80% of the quality in your mind, 20% of the capital and time may be enough, but often the 20% of the quality in the end will take 80% of the time and money!

It can be said that shooting only takes up a very short film production cycle. Even people like Duke who can cheat have to spend several times the shooting time in pre-preparation and post-production. Sometimes he also wants to know how the legendary directors' films that do not need to participate in pre-preparation and post-production are successful?

This is even more fantasy than a fairy tale.

If a film like "Transformers" is not fully prepared and the time consumed, how can it have such excellent special effects?

The film was officially removed from North America in early November. After more than five months of screening, the film swept away $461.55 million from the North American market. For a non-sequel film, such results are excellent enough.

Although "Transformers" is not as good as "The Dark Knight" in the North American market, it is obviously more popular in the overseas market. Since its release, the film has received US$768.77 million from overseas, thus pushing the global box office through the US$1.2 billion mark and reaching US$1.230.32 million, surpassing the global box office figure of "The Dark Knight" in one fell swoop.

Moreover, the overseas screening of "Transformers" has not ended yet, and there is still room for further increase in global box office numbers.

In terms of peripheral aspects, "Transformers" is also very popular around the world, and it is also a big hit in "The Dark Knight". The different settings and types of the two films determine the treatment they can enjoy in the global market.

Undeniable that "The Dark Knight" is even more outstanding and exciting, and "Transformers" seriously tends toward popcorn, but the overseas box office of "The Dark Knight" proves that after leaving North America and the English-speaking areas, it is somewhat unacceptable.

The commercial achievements of a film are sometimes disproportionate to whether the quality of the film itself is good enough.

Duke knew very well that the commercial achievements of "Raging Road" could not be as good as "Transformers" or "The Dark Knight", but the film could also find enough audiences, and profit was not a problem.

After entering December, he led a huge convoy into New Mexico. (To be continued...)
