The next few days were full of Rock Prize topics.

However, Luo Yuan doesn't care anymore, as he said, after participating in the Rock Awards, he will shoot "The Avengers", and the crew has already completed the preparations, he, the director, is in place, and the shooting will start directly and vigorously.

Making movies meant that he had to leave Yenching from time to time.

In order to take care of the emotions of his family, Luo Yuan chose to shoot Yanjing's scenes first, and then shoot scenes outside Yanjing, so that he didn't have to leave at any time and ran outside, and because many scenes in "The Avengers" were completed under the green screen, what Yanjing was able to accomplish accounted for 70% of the film's shooting length.

There are a lot of people in the crew.

Chinese people, American people, British people, etc., because they have the shooting experience of "Pearl", so even if the crew is full of many foreigners, Luo Yuan did not find it difficult to do, and the assistants brought by these foreigners are all fluent in many Chinese, so there is no problem in communication, but occasionally there is no direct dialogue.

For example, the actor who plays Thor does not perform well.

Even if Luo Yuan is a guide, he must first explain it to the translator, and then he can let the actor who plays Thor know Luo Yuan's meaning through the translator's mouth, and make adjustments to the performance, these actors are not impatient, after all, Luo Yuan is the biggest winner of the Locke Award, and the world's recognized number one director at the moment, all actors will cherish the opportunity to work with such an existence.

Noteworthy ......

Sometimes, it is difficult to solve the problem directly with language, Luo Yuan will choose to go into battle in person, for example, the actor of Captain America has a scene, and he still failed to pass after dozens of repeated filming, Luo Yuan asked the actor of Captain America to stand aside and demonstrate how to perform in person, and then let the other party draw a scoop with a gourd to find the right feeling.

It's also thanks to Luo Yuan that he is an acting school.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and because Luo Yuan also played a role in the movie, the actors didn't feel too much estrangement from Luo Yuan, and even they had some rivalry in the movie, so everyone got along very harmoniously, and such a harmonious crew was more conducive to Luo Yuan's management.

"How's it going?"

This afternoon, Ai Xiaoai came to the crew to visit the class, and she also took the child with her.

Luo Yuan smiled and nodded, introduced some familiar actors to Ai Xiaoai, and then waited for the group of people to leave with interest, he said: "The early stage is a little more difficult than the filming of "Pearl", because the early stage of "Pearl" is all about literary dramas, and the basic fight is everyone's acting skills, "The Avengers" is different, we were challenging all kinds of green screen scenes or non-physical shooting at the beginning. ”

"But the post-production of 'Pearl' was very difficult. ”

Luo Yuan nodded, this is a fact, the post-production of "Pearl" made him feel anxious for a long time, "So the later stage of this movie should be a little easier, the real difficulty is actually the post-production special effects rendering." ”

Ai Xiaoai is clear.

She also knows that the filming of a movie like "The Avengers" can be done in two or three months, but the post-production special effects will take longer and cannot be completed easily, because in this kind of movie, if the special effects are not done well, it is not far from failure.

"Hi, Luo Dao, I want to drink water. ”

At this time, Xia Ran came over slowly.

Seeing Xia Ran, Ai Xiaoai couldn't help but laugh out loud, because Xia Ran at this moment was wearing handsome Iron Man red armor on his upper body, but his lower body was wearing professional tight black pants for motion capture, so that the whole person's outfit looked nondescript, and at this time Ai Xiaoai had to admit the importance of post-special effects-

In the movie, such a cool shot.

But in reality, it is presented in this way like street art, which is really funny, because the contrast is really very large, compared to Thor, the shape is not much different from the movie, but in terms of handsomeness, it must not be compared with the movie, and now they are more like a group of Marvel fans playing cosplay on the set.

Luo Yuan helped Xia Ran take off his helmet.

Then Xia Ran was able to pour water into his stomach, there was no way, it was too inconvenient to wear this costume, in the movie, Iron Man's helmet could be adjusted to expose his mouth, but obviously it was very troublesome in reality, Xia Ran couldn't let the corners of the helmet's mouth stick to the fish-flavored shredded meat.

"That hammer ......"

Ai Xiaoai couldn't help but be curious when he saw the hammer next to Thor, Luo Yuan smiled, took the hammer directly, and shook it off Ai Xiaoai, and then Ai Xiaoai sighed again: "That's why I said, the actors' acting skills are really good, obviously not so heavy hammers, they want to pick it up, but it seems that this is the heaviest thing in the world, and I will try the golden hoop stick again when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Golden hoop sticks?"

Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, the golden hoop stick is not necessarily much heavier than the hollow, the Jin Ge Iron Horse in the TV series is all dubbed in the later stage, and the sparks of those three hundred rounds of the big battle can be said to be very magical." ”

Ai Xiaoai said: "Sure enough. ”

Xia Ran on the side said: "I think that hammer can be taken out for auction after the end of the Marvel movie's Thor World line, including other superhero items, I believe it can be auctioned at a good price." ”

"You're a clever little ghost. ”

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes, but knew that Xia Ran's proposal was okay, Marvel in the previous life did hold a similar auction, although the Avengers player "Thor" has a strong ability, but its representative output is the hammer of Thor built by Asgard, but the original version was taken out for auction, that is, the version used for film shooting, and the estimated bid price of the public auction is $25,000 to $40,000-

That is, RMB 167,000 to 267,000.

This kind of peripherals that require crazy kryptonite are not really affordable for ordinary people, and other auction items at that time also included the black mask used by Star-Lord to shoot "Guardians of the Galaxy", the mask used by the "X-Men" trilogy series "Professor X", and the Superman cape used by Christopher Reeve to shoot "Superman 4", etc.

Reputedly......

is considering that the movie version of Thor's hammer was destroyed by Hela, and Thor still fights with a sword in "Avengers 3", maybe Thor will not lift it in the later stage, so Marvel plans to sell it and return to the "save budget".

Of course, Luo Yuan doesn't need to save his budget like this.

At least for now, he won't sell the original props used by these Marvel superheroes, it's a big deal to collect it himself, or give it away, anyway, Luo Yuan really doesn't care about that money, at this point, Luo Yuan is richer than Marvel in his previous life, and it may not be a big problem to wrestle with Disney in the next time and space.

"Hello Minister Ai. ”

When Ai Xiaoai was chatting with Luo Yuan and Xia Ran, Jing Yu came over to say hello, because Jing Yu is the director of "Iron Man 2", so he also participated in the filming of "The Avengers" and did some assistant director work, just like when he followed Luo Yuan to shoot "Loyal Dog Hachiko".

"Oh, let's let you work. ”

Ai Xiaoai felt that the time was almost up, and said with a smile.

Luo Yuan nodded, sent Ai Xiaoai away, and continued filming, although the familiar assistant director Qiao An was not there, but the arrival of Jing Yu gave Luo Yuan a good sense of transition, making up for Qiao An's lack of unaccustomedness, and even, Jing Yu was able to give Luo Yuan a lot of suggestions, such as the script of "The Avengers".

At the time of the script discussion......

Jingyu is very worried about the cooperation between Thor and a human character like Iron Man, he feels that Iron Man is an orthodox human superhero, but because of the existence of the character Thor, he has to bring some supernatural attributes, if it is in the comics, the two of them can do a very tacit understanding, or even not disagree at all, but it takes some effort to make a movie, so as not to disillusion the movie universe, which is the trouble we have to solve first. ”

"Maybe we should cut down on Thor's role. ”

In the end, Jingyu proposed his own solution, but this made Luo Yuan refuse, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the previous life, several members of the original Avengers were undoubtedly the most liked by everyone, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor were also known as the "Big Three".

In this life, the first part of "Thor" was not filmed well.

However, Luo Yuan is confident that Thor will become popular in other movies, so he is unwilling to reduce Thor's role, while Jingyu hopes that there is no need to highlight Thor for the first time -

He also gave a solution.

In fact, his method is simple and crude, that is, to make Thor more down-to-earth, more scientific, less magical: "We don't need to destroy Thor's image, although his independent film is not particularly successful, but at least that film gives us room to turn around, there is a race called Asgard, connected to a world that we don't know at all, that is, this is science, but humans don't understand." ”

Luo Yuan said to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu was finally persuaded by Luo Yuan.

The Avengers idea is very good, but anyone who thinks of this idea, in fact, the first reaction in their mind is that script writing will become very, very difficult, and the cooperation of these superheroes sounds very attractive, but when they are in the same room, it is very inconsistent, let alone fighting side by side, but this is the definition of S.H.I.E.L.D. that Marvel and the movie have always emphasized.

To this end, Luo Yuan came up with a lot of ideas.

is not only a copy of the original version of the movie in memory, but also adds his own understanding of Marvel, he has never been a person who can only copy the version in memory, he also has a lot of his own ideas, but the result is also subject to some restrictions, after all, the script of "The Avengers" is not Luo Yuan alone, Luo Yuan intends to let everyone brainstorm, so it is inevitable to encounter obstacles, but these ideas collide while constantly improving the script that was originally completed by Luo Yuan alone.

This is normal.

Even if it is a script written by Luo Yuan, sometimes it will be overturned when filmed, or it comes from a flash of inspiration from the director, or from the suggestion of an actor, etc., all in all, as long as it is good for the movie, Luo Yuan can accept it with an open mind.

Hawkeye's story can't be added.

In "The Avengers", the existence of Hawkeye, for people who don't understand comics, is a bit abrupt, Luo Yuan tried to briefly introduce Hawkeye, the new superhero, in the movie "The Avengers", but unfortunately, the movie is limited in space, Luo Yuan can't introduce it directly, so he decided to start the independent film shooting of "Hawkeye" directly at the same time as the filming of this movie.

His decision was met with an immediate response.

The relevant crews have been set up and filming is about to begin.

In his previous life, "Hawkeye" did not have an independent movie, but Luo Yuan felt that Hawkeye served as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in his Marvel version, that is, an important bodyguard of the role he played, and he must have enough scenes and stories, he is like Black Widow, he is the right and left hand of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I believe the audience will also like this setting, Luo Yuan knows that the role of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., because of his own appearance, has almost become the only character in Marvel who is not a superhero, but his popularity is about the same as that of Iron Man.

Although before he starred, he didn't expect it to be like this.

However, when he found that he had become one of the iconic characters in Marvel movies, Luo Yuan was no longer just a cameo, but would consciously increase some of his roles in the movie.

Xia Ran also mentioned the proposal for the script.

He pleaded with Luo Yuan and let Iron Man be the protagonist of "The Avengers", he hoped that Iron Man could take everyone to pretend to be forced to fly with everyone, Luo Yuan was said to move, tried but failed, and the script of "The Avengers" written with Iron Man as the protagonist was shot by the crew director, because everyone believes that the purpose of the Avengers is teamwork!

"It's a pity. ”

Xia Ran sighed for a long time, but when he learned that Luo Yuan was going to let Thanos be the mastermind behind the scenes, and while Loki completed the order, he secretly arranged everything, everyone felt very happy, thinking that this was a good idea, and Thanos would become a strong promoter in the movies after "Avengers".

"Thanos can be used as the main line of the Avengers series. ”

Jing Yu said this, Luo Yuan was thoughtful, and it could be seen that Jing Yu, who had finished filming "Iron Man 2", had a very deep understanding of the Marvel series, maybe the follow-up films of the Avengers could also be handed over to Jing Yu for filming?

Shaking his head, Luo Yuan smiled bitterly.

He found that he was really lazy now, obviously the first part of "The Avengers" had not been successfully filmed, and he even began to struggle with who to find to shoot the subsequent films, there was really no one.

But......

The emergence of this idea made Luo Yuan let go a lot, he would consciously hand over some shots to Jing Yu to shoot, and some more important parts, Luo Yuan would go on his own, which seemed more secure.

People didn't think much of it.

Because of normal film shooting, the director will also divide the crew into two groups or more, and each will shoot some scenes, which can effectively improve efficiency, after all, not every shot, the director has to stare at it, some shots, it is okay to hand over to others to shoot, what the director really has to do is an overall scheduling problem.

Jing Yu realized something.

Because among the shots Luo Yuan shot for himself, there are some shots, in fact, the importance is quite high, maybe this is the boss's test for himself, maybe this is the boss's test for himself, in line with the idea that he would rather believe it or not, Jing Yu completed the shooting of these shots very seriously, and repeatedly considered it, and even was able to keep several in a row for the sake of quality, giving the boss a greater choice.

As a result, Luo Yuan really checked Jing Yu's shooting very seriously.

When he saw the finished product shot by Jing Yu, Luo Yuan didn't say that it couldn't be done, but he didn't let Jing Yu reshoot it, which made Jing Yu secretly wave his fist, relieved, and a little glad in his heart, he felt that he was probably guessing right, and the boss didn't say anything, which means that these shots can be used, and he is at least qualified in this test.

In the days that followed.

Luo Yuan will give Jing Yu more opportunities to play.

However, many times, after Jing Yu finished filming, Luo Yuan would reshoot the same scene, and then let Jing Yu carefully observe the difference and compare which one had a better shooting effect, but Jing Yu had to admit that the outside world called himself Luo Yuan's two carriages, this kind of thing is not gratuitous-

I really can't compare to my boss.

However, he was relieved to think that his boss was the world's No. 1 director, after all, he was not the world's No. 1 director, so it was completely understandable that his strength was not as good as the boss, and besides, the boss's hand-in-hand teaching was also more conducive to the improvement of Jingyu's personal level.

Although sometimes, Jingyu will also insist on his own opinion.

But Luo Yuan is not a strict teacher, and he will not completely let Jing Yu become another self, so when Jing Yu insists on his own views, he will also express some recognition and encouragement, in his own words, most of the directors in this world, except for those walking dead soulless workers, are unique, because they infuse their own views in their works, their works can finally shine, and these shining things are often not measurable at the box office or popularity.

A smell of chicken soup.

But Jing Yu killed it beautifully.

In this way, he played a very good assistant director role in Luo Yuan's "Avengers" crew, and he could help Luo Yuan share a lot of things, even better than Qiao An, who had been with Luo Yuan before, but Qiao An was still better in terms of details and shooting trivia, but fortunately, Luo Yuan's assistant Zhao Rui would take care of some affairs......

A month and a half later.

Luo Yuan took the crew and left Yanjing and began to travel around the country for framing and shooting, after all, the scene of "The Avengers" is very large, and this process is expected to take two months, and the crimson special effects department has already held a department meeting on the post-production work of this film in advance.

For a rainy day.

To ensure the smooth production of "The Avengers" to the greatest extent.
