Chapter 81: Isn't This Still a Superhero?
"Stuntman, what's this?"
Liu Mang was keenly aware of something.
Not only him, but also Pan Xiao and a few of them around him.
In the last movie, Fang Bei came up with a new trick of "superhero".
Could it be that this time what is the new trick?
They were a little nervous.
Fang Bei came out every time with something that could change the film and television industry, so that they didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of holding Fang Bei back.
It's really stressful.
Fang Bei didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to play with memes.
In addition to passing the time, it also allows him to appear less detached from his previous life.
can play directly and others can't catch it.
There was no way around it, so he had to make the stalk himself first and then play.
As the saying goes, "I'm not familiar with this world, so I'll make it a world I'm familiar with."
He began to explain what a "stand-in" was and what a "stand-in messenger" was.
As the name suggests, a "stand-in" is actually a superpower.
It is a powerful image produced by the vital energy in the body.
And the person who has this "stand-in" is called a "stand-in messenger".
There are many different types of stand-ins and I won't go into too much detail here (Note 1).
In short, just treat these "stand-in messengers" as superpowers with all kinds of strange superpowers.
It's just that their superpowers are basically activated by "stand-ins".
After listening, Liu Mang and the others were dumbfounded.
They really wanted to open Fang Bei's head and see how his brain grew.
How can such a whimsical and brilliant idea come up casually?
It's just that they can't do that, because it's against the law......
Seeing that this group of guys was still stunned, Fang Bei waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I've finished talking about the specifics, and you can solve it yourself." ”
Liu Mang and the others left silently.
Kira Yoshikage was an acquaintance with Fang Bei, so he joked: "Director Fang, you said that we want to make a literary film, but isn't this still a superhero movie." ”
Fang Bei pouted: "Super Ying, if I say it's a literary film, it's a literary film." ”
To have depth, to have connotation, to have a story.
Of course, this is a literary film!
............
"This is definitely not a literary film!"
It's still the same place just now, and it's still the four people squatting in a circle and smoking.
Liu Mang took a puff of cigarette and looked firm: "This is a superhero movie!"
"yes. Pan Xiao sighed: "I thought that the 'Super Soldier Serum' was already whimsical enough, but I didn't expect Fang Dao to have a second new trick." ”
He's really playing "superhero" to the fullest.
"Not the second, but the third. Liu Mang's small eyes flashed with wisdom behind the glasses, "I learned when I was chatting before that Lao Fang talked to that Tom Smith about superheroes, and he said that he could personify the abilities of animals. For example, ants can lift many times their own weight, and some animals or insects can jump several times their height, so why can't people? This 'stand-in messenger' is supposed to be the third type of superhero. ”
After thinking for a moment, ghostly thoughts came to me.
Liu Mang pressed out the cigarette butt, raised his head and said: "I have an idea, we should remove the setting that Lao Fang said 'only the stand-in messenger can see the stand-in'!"
Everyone was not stupid, and it quickly became clear what he meant.
Pan Xiao hesitated and asked, "What do you mean...... One worldview?"
"Not bad!" Liu Mang's face turned red with excitement, "You know the IP! Our 'superhero' series can be made into a big IP!"
This is the inspiration that Fang Bei gave him!
He was trembling with excitement now!
So he lit another cigarette with trembling hands, and said quickly: "We can make 'superheroes' into a series! Every movie has one or several superheroes leading the way, which can also be called the origin of 'superheroes'!"
"When we've made several films, we can string these movies together and make big news! When the time comes, we can put all the superheroes into one movie! Do you think you've got a head?"
Because of this, he wanted to remove the setting that "only stand-in messengers can see stand-ins"!
It's a pity that Fang Don't know, otherwise he might have to complain, "Isn't this the setting of 'X-Men'......
"There is a head to make a head, there is a head ......" director of photography Nie Fang flicked the cigarette ash, "But "Captain China" and "Shadow of Light" are not the same era, right, how can this come back?"
"Isn't this simple?" Liu Mangzhizhu was in his hand, "In the ending of "Captain China", Yan Shuangying was not buried by the avalanche of Daxue Mountain after killing Buying, let's directly set it because he is a 'super soldier', so his physical fitness has reached the limit of human beings, and then because the temperature under the snow is very low, he was frozen in the ice, and he will be dug out in the future movie, so that he will remain at the peak of his youth. ”
And that's not all.
If there is a "hodgepodge of superheroes," there must be an organization, right? If there is an organization, there will be enemies, right?
Then the enemy has to be a "transcendent creature", right?
These "transcendent beings" have to be organized, right?
Liu Mangdu already had a rough idea.
For example, domestic organizations can be called "small buildings outside the mountain", "fairy traces", "mythology", "heavenly court" and "underworld".
Foreign organizations can be called "tarot clubs" or something.
International organizations can be called "twelve zodiacs" or something.
Quite a fee!
Liu Mang was stunned by his wit.
But he was still not at ease: "Pan Shao, can you handle the special effects of this stand-in messenger?" I feel that this is much more difficult than "Captain China". ”
Pan Xiao, who was still messing around with the wedding company a few months ago, smiled confidently: "Who do you think I am? I used to be the strongest trump card of Xuanmeng!
"OK! Then it's decided!" Liu Mang finally made a decision, "Our first film has made a name for itself, and this second movie, we still want all the awards at the box office! So this time we must make a 'literary film' with gorgeous special effects, cool editing, tight rhythm, perfect pictures, and at the same time depth and connotation! Is there a problem!"
"No problem!"
"It's done!"
"It's so hot-blooded, I can't help but burn!"
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
............
On the other side, the four of them were still chatting.
Kira Yoshikage asked, "Director Fang, when will the filming start?" I feel like everyone may be in a hurry. ”
"Kira-kun, slow work can produce fine work. We are making a literary film, and the atmosphere of the literary film must be there. "Don't be old God, talking crookedly.
But Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming next to him had a feeling of not knowing what they were doing, they felt that what Director Fang said was right!
No way, when you don't have grades, no matter how right you are, it's wrong.
And when you have grades, it's just a fart, and others have to find some truth out of your fart.
For example, Fang Bei suddenly sneezed.
Chen Yongren and the others were thinking, "Why did Director Fang sneeze suddenly? What is the hint here? Could it be that he also felt that he was going to catch a cold after waiting too long, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he deliberately sneezed to remind everyone?"
And what Fang Don't think about is......
"Who wants to harm me?"
