Chapter 388 Subversive modeling

Under the operation of Caa and Bill Roses, Gal Gadot quickly opened her personal blog and uploaded some fitness photos from time to time, telling everyone that she was working hard for the role of Wonder Woman.

In fact, as Gal Gadot said, in addition to fitness, she also conducts a lot of training in combat, boxing, swordsmanship, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and other events. Wonder Woman is not superman after all. Although fighting is basically direct and straightforward to show strength and speed, the characteristics of the female war god also determine that certain skills are needed.

For the actors Gal Gadot and Chris Evans, the most urgent task is fitness and training.

After the final script and storyboard were confirmed, the special effects production of "Man of Steel" began before shooting. In order to cooperate with the time-consuming and labor-intensive special effects production, Murphy will also start shooting the action scenes after completing several promotional shots when shooting.

Unlike the previous shots, this film will use more than 2,500 special effects lenses. Murphy plans to set up a green screen in the studio to complete all the shootings of special effects lenses. As for the final battle, the Russian actor who played Steelers was also found and filmed and produced in motion capture.

During the long preparation period, in addition to all kinds of busy work, Murphy would also let people jump out from time to time to reveal some news to maintain the topic of "Body of Steel".

For example, in mid-October, Chris Evans spitted at the media during an interview, "I exercise for two hours a day, which is cruel. I usually like to exercise, but this time it is different. I practice until I feel like I want to vomit. I think I hate that coach, I hate this movie, I want to go home and sleep for a week. This is really cold-blooded and ruthless. I quickly metabolize, quickly lose weight, so as soon as I eat, I will get fat again."

He also added, "It's disgusting to practice, and eating is even more disgusting. I'm so embarrassed that I can't even look at fried chicken. I'm going to be swollen when I practice, but at the same time I have to constantly consume protein. It's a dilemma."

Although this is for publicity needs, it is not an exaggeration at all. Chris Evans has made great efforts to compete with the role of Superman.

Correspondingly, Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, will not be easier than him.

She has a very high metabolism, which makes it difficult for her to maintain her weight and has to increase her food intake, especially high protein. She trains for about two hours each time, focusing on two muscle groups. By increasing the amount of exercise, she constantly stimulates her muscles from every possible angle at a faster rate until she reaches the fitness goals she sets.

By early November, Gal Gadot successfully added fifteen pounds of muscle.

Two weeks later, Murphy led the crew to the outdoor site of San Jose, which had been inspected for a long time. After a long and busy preliminary preparation, "Body of Steel" officially started filming.

On an ordinary Monday morning, just dawn, dozens of trailers and trucks drove to the periphery of a small town. Under Murphy's command, they began the intense preparations before shooting.

Since a lot of work was completed yesterday, it is now more about laying out the lighting and adjusting the camera position.

While waiting for File Raschel to adjust the camera, Murphy asked Gal Gadot, who was standing behind him, "Is the reporter contacted by Warner Bros. here?"

Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "It's on the way here, it's coming soon, no more than five minutes."

Now she looks a little more plump than before, and she looks a little stronger, not so thin, and the increased muscles make her more symmetrical.

In addition to playing Wonder Woman with a guest appearance, Gal Gadot works more as an assistant producer. She has fully recognized Murphy’s words and specially asked the school for an internship leave to study on the spot on the crew.

Just like Murphy encountered many difficulties when he started, there are often very big differences between learning and practice.

"Let Gent go to coordinate with the media reporters." Murphy explained carefully, "I will let the reporter come in and take photos after I finish the first one."

The crew's preparations are still in progress, and Murphy continues to be busy. Not far from the outside, some reporters have already gotten out of the car.

Seeing the busy set ahead, Hulstein raised the camera in his hand and wanted to take a picture, but a staff member stopped him.

"Sorry, sir." The staff were quite polite. "The crew will start shooting soon, and there will be a unified media photo time."

In this regard, Hollywood and the media have always had a speechless tacit understanding. Hulstein did not persist and put down his finger pressed on the shutter.

After waiting for a minute, his eyes suddenly tightened when he looked at the set. Chris Evans, wearing a blue tight outfit, appeared in front of the camera, as if communicating with director Murphy Stanton.

Almost the moment he saw Chris Evans, Hulstein realized that he could get big news today!

The crew's shooting was very simple, just two scenes of Superman walking, and the filming was completed soon. After the deputy director came to inform him, all reporters, including Hulstein, rushed to the set like a rush. They could all realize that a series of debates would inevitably arise around the new Superman on the set.

All camera lenses were aimed at Chris Evans who was still on the set, as if they were aiming at Hollywood's super A-level star.

The sound of the camera shutters was connected, and many reporters only photographed Chris Evans, dressed in Superman, and ignored everything else. They hurried out of the set, rushed towards their respective cars, took out their notebooks, and passed the pictures and the words they knocked out to the screenwriter's department as quickly as possible.

In today's era, the timeliness of news is more important than before.

Just half an hour later, the most prominent position of the imdb homepage was posted on the latest report on "Body of Steel".

"Superman's classic look has undergone a huge change, and the new photos of "Man of Steel" reveal explosive news!"

To the right of the title, there is a picture of Chris Evans' new superman look.

"imdb News: "Man of Steel" which is being filmed in the suburbs of San Jose, California, has recently exposed a set of photos on the set. Unlike the previous unrelated pictures, the protagonist of the photo leaked this time is Superman. What's even more shocking is that it reveals to us an explosive news. The new version of Superman will bid farewell to the iconic red underwear!"

"Whether it was the official stills or the exposed shots on the set, due to factors such as dark light and long distances, we did not find a major difference between the old and new Superman costumes. However, today's close-up finally made us realize the huge secret. Superman's iconic red underwear is gone! It is possible to use a outfit that is so different from the classic comic style, which makes us deeply admire the courage of director Murphy Stanton."

"Apart from the red shorts, we also found some other changes in Superman's shape. The clothing chose a similar scale texture, which not only fits the body, but also highlights the clearly contoured body of the actor Chris Evans; in addition, we also found a decoration similar to a belt ring on Superman's waist. It is not clear whether this is another use or just decoration; but then again, such a subversive shape, coupled with the curly hair disappearing on the forehead and the enlargement of the S sign on the chest, can't help but make us suspicious. Is this the Superman we are familiar with?"

Superman's appearance is not a change, it can be said to be a drastic change.

There is no doubt that these are all for the promotional and marketing of "Man of Steel". Since the preparations entered the later stage, Murphy has no longer involved in publicity and marketing matters, but has left all of it to Warner Bros., and has turned all his energy to filming and production. Even the promotion related to shooting is in cooperation with Warner Bros.'s publicity plan.

After the news of a huge change in Superman's classic look broke out, Warner Bros. also handed over a survey data to Murphy. Most people were not disgusted with Superman's new look, and a lot of Superman fans were still looking forward to it.

There are also people who criticize, which is inevitable.

Of course, more people are more interested in the plot of "Man of Steel". The past five Superman movies have patterned the Superman story. Even "Return of Superman" directed by Brian Singer is just an old wine in a new bottle. In addition to using new technologies, that movie is not essentially different from Christopher Reeve's Superman series.

As long as superhero movies like this are in specific settings, there are not much logic or technical problems. Even if the story has some flaws, the audience will generally have good reviews.

“Is “Return of Superman really that bad?”

On the plane to Alaska, Gal Gadot looked at Murphy sitting next to him and asked, "Do you think it's very bad, too?"

"It's worse than I thought." Murphy shrugged, "so I'm going to avoid the mistakes made in "Return of Superman."

Gal Gadot looked at Murphy and didn't quite understand what he meant.

This is his closest person, and Murphy speaks without any concealment. "I can only say that the movie "Return of Superman" is a gay director filming his own "male god". Every shot is looking up, and every shot is a delicate close-up. In addition to keeping up with the times in terms of special effects, in fact, it is still a replica of the old version of "Superman". Brian Singer completed a self-satisfaction, but put the Superman movies in a more severe situation."

Having said that, in some ways, he would have to thank Brian Singer for not having the failure of "Return of Superman" that would not have been the super-high treatment he has today.

The plane landed in Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Murphy led the crew to the snowfields in the far north to prepare for the filming of the scenes of Wonder Woman vs. Superman. (To be continued.)
