At six o'clock in the evening, in the Holy Citizen Auditorium, the story of "Wonder Woman 2" followed "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" at the end of last year.

The opening wedge is a team of explorers deep into the heart of the African jungle who accidentally discover a temple and take out this ancient tribal artifact called the Sein, the Blade of the Gods.

As a photographer takes a picture of the God-Killing Blade, the scene switches to a series of reports on this major archaeological discovery.

Viewers who know a little bit about the background of DC Comics will understand it instantly.

The blade of the godslayer is naturally Wonder Woman's old enemy, the Leopard Girl.

The wedge ends, followed by the opening credits.

The feature film begins with a hearing.

After the Super Bat War, countries around the world, which once again felt the threat of superpowers and extraterrestrial creatures to the earth, formed a "United Nations Special Crisis Management Committee" under the leadership of the United States.

Superman has died, and Batman has re-hidden his identity, so at the call of the United Nations government, Wonder Woman took the initiative to participate in this hearing, and the topic was mainly about the placement of the mother box with great energy.

Wonder Woman roughly explained the ins and outs of the mother box, and under the questioning of representatives of various countries in the world who wanted humanity to regain control of the mother box, Diana still insisted that the crisis caused by Lex Luthor was ahead, and the best solution was to keep the three mother boxes on Paradise Island.

The hearing ended unhappily.

After the meeting, Diana approached Bill Herman, the U.S. representative on the committee, and handed him a newspaper on the 'God-Killing Blade', expressing his desire to recover this artifact of the ancient gods that might pose a crisis to humanity.

Maxwell Lauder, a second-tier villain under the DC Comics banner.

At the same time, during the introduction process at the reception, Diana also met Maxwell's female assistant, Barbara Minerva.

Compared to Maxwell Lauder, Barbara Minerva is naturally famous.

Leopard Girl.

After a seemingly pleasant conversation, Diana was a little puzzled by Maxwell Lauder's strange gaze, and did not alert the other party until Lauder's nosebleed oozing. After Lauder dealt with the nosebleed, Diana talked to Bill a little more about the God-Killing Blade, emphasizing once again that like the mother box, this ancient artifact that was on display at the Metropolitan Museum at this time was beyond human control, and could even bring disaster.

After listening to Diana's explanation, Bill Herman said that he would deal with it as soon as possible.

After Wonder Woman leaves, Bill is invited by Maxwell Lauder to meet privately, and under Lauder's gaze, he reveals his conversation with the goddess.

It turns out that Maxwell Lauder is a superpower with mind control abilities, and Bill Herman is unknowingly controlled by the other party. It's a pity that this ability is ineffective against Diana, and not only that, but the previous attempt to mind control Diana was also counterattacked.

Lauder's purpose in controlling Bill is also for the sake of the Mother Box, and he is disappointed that the committee has failed to pressure Wonder Woman, and when he learns that the Godkiller Blade is actually an ancient artifact, he immediately makes a new plan and asks his female assistant Barbara Minerva to snatch the Godkiller Blade.

This triggered the first small climax of the film.

Museum Attack.

Sensing that Wonder Woman was also personally staring at the god-killing blade in the Metropolitan Museum, coupled with the tight security of the museum itself, Barbara Minerva confirmed that she could not steal it quietly, so she decided to rob it openly, so she led a bunch of armed men to raid the museum and kidnapped a large number of hostages as a meat shield to stop Wonder Woman.

In a wonderful battle to block bullets with bare hands, the militants led by Barbara were powerless under Diana's attack.

However, Barbara managed to get the Godkiller Blade.

At the critical moment when Diana was about to be captured, Barbara, wearing a mask, pressed the button of the remote control bomb, indicating that Diana had 10 seconds to choose between the hostage life or the god-killing blade in her hand.

Without hesitation, Wonder Woman returns to the hostage group and finds the bomb.

There are only 3 seconds left in the countdown.

Of course, Wonder Woman didn't have the speed of the Flash's hands to defuse the bomb, and at the last moment, Diana suddenly used her strength, jumped up with the bomb, smashed the roof of the museum and went to the sky.

There was a loud bang.

A dazzling flash of fire erupted over the metropolis, and a black dot was thrown far away.

All the hostages were rescued, but the Godkiller Blade was lost.

The story begins to split into two lines.

Maxwell Lauder studied the inscription on the Godkiller Blade and learned that a blood sacrifice was needed to obtain the power of the cheetah goddess attached to the artifact, so he decisively cut his own palm.

No response.

Immediately understood that the object of blood sacrifice could only be women.

After a little hesitation, Lauder handed the Godkiller Blade to his loyal female assistant, and with some mind control, Barbara Minerva stabbed the Godkiller Blade into her chest.

In a vision that shook the Lauder family's mansion, Barbara Minerva was possessed by the evil cheetah goddess who had been cursed on the godkiller's blade, and began to grow hair, taking on the form of a leopard woman, and after the transformation was completed, she immediately launched an attack on Maxwell Lauder.

Fortunately, this time, Lauder's mind control played a role, and at the critical moment when he was about to be killed by the leopard girl, he controlled the other party.

As for the reason, either Leopard Girl still retains Barbara's sanity after all, or her mental self-control ability is not as strong as Wonder Woman, or something else.

In short, it is all adapted by the screenwriter outside the fourth wall for the plot.

Wandering between life and death, Lauder finally did not work in vain, and obtained the leopard girl, a subordinate with powerful force, and launched the next plan to hunt another superpower.

Steel.

The words are divided into two ends, in order to protect the civilians Wonder Woman who was blown out of the coma woke up, and found Bill Herman for the first time, Diana only talked to Bill about the news of the god-killing blade, so it was confirmed that the news must have leaked from the other party.

As a result, even though he used the mantra lasso, he still couldn't get the information he wanted.

Because Bill doesn't remember being mentally controlled by Maxwell Lauder at all, he can't talk about lying and hiding it in front of the heroine.

However, this government official, who was only used in a positive role, and after some discussion with the woman, he thought that since some people got the news from him, he could roughly judge the other party's possible next target.

Diana was then briefed on another thing that the federal government was secretly doing.

It turned out that during the government's research on the mother box that Superman brought to Earth, a researcher named Silas Stone used the power of the mother box to save his seriously injured and dying son Victor Stone, turning Victor into a cyborg.

In the course of the Super Bat War, Silas Stone was killed unexpectedly, Victor Stone disappeared, and after experiencing the horror of Lex Luthor's incarnation of alien aliens, fearing that Victor Stone, who had also undergone alien technology transformation, would endanger human safety, the U.S. government set up an investigation team to hunt down Victorstone.

Therefore, if there is an information leak on the authorities' side, then the people behind the scenes who are interested in the god-killing blade will definitely be interested in Victor Stone, who has been transformed from the power of the mother box.

Wonder Woman can follow this line to find.

Diana listened to Bill's advice and launched a follow-up inquiry against Victor Stone, but unfortunately it was a step behind Maxwell Lauder.

The team led by Barbara Minerva, who obtained the ability of the Leopard Girl, first found Cybone, who was accustomed to wearing a mask and living a secluded life in a slum in the metropolis.

At a critical moment, Wonder Woman fell from the sky.

The second climax of the film.

After a fierce battle, Wonder Woman defeated the Leopard Girl, who was seriously injured and jumped on a high-speed train to escape under the cover of night.

It is not difficult for attentive viewers to find that the destination on the train points to another key city in the DC world - Central City.

This also made the fans in the Great Hall of the Holy Citizens excited.

During the movie promotion stage, Daenerys Entertainment kept the plot of "Wonder Woman 2" extremely secretive, and several trailers released one after another, in addition to mainly revealing that the second villain is the leopard girl, showed a very small number of steel shots half-concealed and half-concealed, allowing the audience to guess.

The crossover story of Wonder Woman and Cyborg has already excited fans, but they didn't expect that the long-awaited Flash since the first big movie in 1991 would also appear in this "Wonder Woman 2".

The assembly of three superheroes, how can it not be exciting.

on the big screen.

Worried about the unconscious Steelbone, Wonder Woman did not immediately chase after him, but rescued Cyborg.

When Victor Stone woke up and saw Diana, the first thing he showed was deep guilt.

Through conversation, Diana learned that Victor Stone was also nearby when the Big Three fought with the alien xenos incarnated by Lex Luthor, but in the face of the almost devastating power of the aliens, Victor finally chose to retreat. Cyborg has always felt deeply guilty, feeling that his withdrawal led to Superman's death, as well as the accidental death of his father.

If he had stood up bravely, maybe everything could have changed.

Diana heard about Victor's experience, and instead of blaming the other party, Diana tried her best to appease. After calming down, Victor Stone asks about the Leopard Girl again. Diana explained in detail that the soul attached to the leopard girl was originally the patron saint of an ancient tribe, but later suffered a curse during the tribal war and turned blackened, turned into an evil god, and was sealed on the god-killing blade.

Through the previous battle, Diana judged that the cheetah goddess had not fully awakened, so she needed to find the other party as soon as possible and reseal it.

The two of them deliberated and hurried to the destination where the leopard girl jumped on the train, Canterlot.

The storyline unfolds again.

Canterlot.

Barry Allen, a forensic technical expert at the police station, was woken up overnight.

A murder occurred on a late-night train from the metropolis, and in one of the carriages, two young men were attacked and died in a tragic state, as if they had been scratched and bitten by some kind of wild animal, and the two young men, who experienced a middle-aged passenger who only knew about death, tried to accost a woman. Because the woman did not resist, the middle-aged man was threatened by the little ruffian again, and feared that it would be affected, so he hid in other carriages.

Unexpectedly, a murder happened.

The plot is not dragging here, let's have a Flash detective or something.

The police in Canterlot soon broke the news that there had been a riot near the city station and that reinforcements were urgently needed, and Barry Allen hurried there with his colleagues.

At the same time, Wonder Woman arrives with Cyborg.

Find your target easily.

And a little later, the cursed cheetah goddess completely took possession of Barbara Minerva's body, fully awakened, and through a roaring summon, controlled and transformed the surrounding humans into minions with golden pupils and sharp teeth, wreaking havoc on the city.

This aspect of the details has also been adapted.

The cheetah goddess in the comics infects humans into her own kind by biting, and considering that this method is too inefficient and bloody, she switches to a more high-end sonic infection.

The final battle.

The fully awakened Leopard Girl's combat power has soared, and she still has the power to fight in one against two, not to mention that she has summoned thousands of minions to attack Wonder Woman and Cyborg together.

In comparison, having to deal with the leopard girl without harming the innocent humans who are just being controlled, Diana and Victor are quickly stretched thin.

At the critical moment, the lightning flashed, and the Flash appeared.

Quickly fend off the infected who gathered around Wonder Woman and Cyborg, so that they can greet Diana.

But there is not much time for nonsense.

Judging that the Stranger was on his side, and finding that the other party was very fast, Wonder Woman quickly gave a command, hoping that the Flash would subdue all the infected around him, and at the same time explained that as long as he defeated the Leopard Girl, these people would recover.

As a result, the memorable 'Flash Time' appeared on the big screen again, that is, Simon's imitation of the "X-Men" Quicksilver slow motion in the first "The Flash".

Barry Allen took local materials, pulled the wires on the side of the road, and counted the numbers in the ultra-high-speed movement, while tying the countless infected people in the picture who slowed down to the slowest movement into immobile 'human sticks' one by one, and couldn't help but mutter, I hope the power company will not ask for compensation from him.

The city suddenly exploded into a flowing electric light, and it seemed to be fleeting.

“38637！”

After counting one number at the end, Barry Allen had reappeared in front of Wonder Woman and Cyborg, still holding a wire in his hand, and glanced at Diana and Victor, and rushed to the Leopard Girl who had not yet reacted.

“386......”

Halfway through the number, Barry Allen was knocked away by the leopard girl, who was not slow at all, and there were a few more blood marks on the chest of the uniform.

After shooting Barry Allen into the air, the Leopard Girl decisively roared at the Flash, and as a result, Barry Allen, who fell into the rubble, was only slightly dizzy and quickly regained his consciousness.

On the other side, Wonder Woman drew her sword and shield and prepared to fight, and said to Victor next to her: "Don't be afraid, her voice can only control ordinary people." ”

This is actually an explanation for why the three of them, especially the Flash, were not infected and controlled by the Leopard Girl.

Subsequently, wonderful 3v1.

Although it is not as intense as the previous super, god, bat VS alien xenomorph, it is still hearty.

Good triumphs over evil once again.

The leopard girl is defeated, the soul of the blackened cheetah goddess escapes Barbara Minerva's body, Barbara recovers her body, and Diana recognizes the identity of the girl and understands the ins and outs of the matter.

The story comes to an end.

Maxwell Lauder was arrested.

Diana retrieved the Godkiller Blade.

The Flash eventually chose to continue hiding his identity and had no more contact with Diana.

In the final picture, Cyborg, who has grown a lot through this battle, proposes to Wonder Woman that an alliance of superpowers should be established, just like this time, everyone helps each other and fights evil together.

Diana smiled and asked what the name of the group should be.

Victor Stone thought about it for a while, and said tentatively: "Justice League, how's it going?"

The picture is dark.

Music plays.

Finally, it is still an indispensable easter egg.

In the dark and distant depths of the universe, on the huge spaceship, a burly figure in battle armor reported to the monarch sitting on the throne, and once again received the signal of the mother box energy, and the direction had been determined, and a deep and decisive voice came from the throne: "Find them, bring them to me!"

Steppenwolf, Darkseid.

When the lights came on, the two names were still in the minds of fans in the Great Hall of the Holy Citizens.

It's not enough.

Soon, there was a warm and sustained round of applause.

Just looking at the feedback of more than 2,000 viewers at this time, there is no doubt that under the aura of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which can be called a shadow, "Wonder Woman 2" handed in a pretty perfect answer, breaking the previous judgment of many commentators that the results of Super Bat Wars are too amazing will make the subsequent projects start high and go low or even lack follow-up.

"Congratulations, Simon, I have to say that Wonder Woman 2 is another masterpiece. ”

"Thank you, Roger, it's an honor to have you here from Chicago today. ”

"Oh, it's my pleasure. ”

......

"Dad, this movie is amazing. ”

"Thanks, Liz, remember to take Nikki and them back early, don't go to bed too late, and don't run around. ”

"I know, I know, it's verbose. Dad, can we get a copy in advance and read it again?"

"No, I can't. ”

"It's stingy. ”

......

"Mr. Westeros, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play the Leopard Girl, from Madeleine Swan in summer 007 to Barbara Minerva this time, oh, what a ...... I still feel like I'm dreaming, I once thought I could only be a third-rate actress in my life,"

"You're welcome, Uma, your acting skills are great, you deserve it. Well, don't cry, everyone still thinks I'm bullying you. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Westeros, I lost my temper. ”

"Or you go over there and get some rest. ”

"No, no, Mr. Westeros, I wonder if I can invite you to dinner in private, and thank you again?"

"Unfortunately, I may not have time. ”

"Then tonight, wait, let's go have a cup of coffee together. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work tonight, so I'll go say hello to the others. ”

......

After Simon finished talking to Uma Thurman, who played the leopard girl, he turned and walked towards Bob White, who unexpectedly appeared at the premiere tonight.

GE has completed the integration of Time Warner, and Bob White, the former CEO of GE's NBC television network, is now the president of the new NBC-Time Warner Group, a subsidiary of GE Group, and Terry Semel is the CEO of NBC-Time Warner Group.

After the reorganization, although they are nominally Terry Semele's deputy, in fact, the two have no subordinate relationship, they both report directly to Jack Welch, and the two are in charge of business, in addition to administration, finance, personnel, etc., each has its own bias. Mr. White is primarily in charge of television and print business, while Mr. Semel is still in charge of film, as well as Warner's telecommunications business, which is in the works.

Simon and Semel's good relationship is almost well known, and now, Semel did not attend the premiere of "Wonder Woman 2" because of his schedule, and Bob White, who is not in charge of the film business, suddenly ran over, and after a little consideration, it is not difficult to imagine the cattiness.

It seems that even if it becomes NBC-Time Warner, Warner still can't escape the fate of infighting.

This is also the point that Simon privately feels that Jack Welch lacks courage.

Probably because NBC-Time Warner was too big and Welch's expectations were high, the legendary manager was unwilling to delegate power as he did with other subsidiaries and did not want to completely evict his former management, so it was inevitable that the current situation would be recreated.

Simon greeted Bob White warmly on the surface, but he couldn't help but think about himself in his heart.

Even if power is to be delegated in the future, whether it is Daenerys Entertainment, or other companies such as Ygritt, even if they are split, this kind of entanglement cannot occur.

Sure enough, after a brief greeting, Bob White revealed his intentions: "Simon, this "Wonder Woman 2" is really great, but don't you think it's too unfair to just let Flash and Cyborg play supporting roles in it? ”

Since Bob White still had a good tone of discussion, Simon was a little patient, shook his head and said: "Bob, the Flash and Cyborg appeared as supporting roles at the right time, which is my original condition for supporting Warner's monopoly of these two superheroes." As for your second question, I think I've explained it many times, we have to control the pace of development of the DC Cinematic Universe to avoid overcrowding projects that cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience, and maybe even affect the diversity of Hollywood. Speaking of which, this trend has been serious in recent years, and the total box office of Hollywood's top 10 grossing films is getting closer and closer to 40% of the annual box office share. I think this should be a red line, maybe you have heard Diller's tent theory, if Hollywood only has tent poles, it is certainly not a healthy industrial state, so we must give other types of films enough room to survive. ”
