"I read the old books all over again

Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries

As they dictate the Avengers

Such as the full moon and the eclipse of the hired hero

And Iron Man before flying

The outfit is TBD

But I didn't have that kind of life

She said to me, "Where do you want to go?"

How many more ups and downs do you want to go through

……”

In terms of lyrics, Don has made some changes, changing the previous version of "Captain America" to "Ghost Rider", and "Midnight Suns" to "Hire a Hero".

Through the lyrics of this second paragraph, it can also be seen that Don has made up his mind.

He's going to work on two big Marvel series at the same time!

He wants to embark on a Marvel road of his own, and will never copy the routine of his previous life!

One is the "Avengers" series, which focuses on humorous entertainment with popcorn themes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Ant-Man, etc., and the other is the "Heroes for Mercenaire" series, which focuses on serious and dark epic themes, including Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, and so on.

This song, 4 minutes and 25 seconds long, Zack Snyder listened to it quietly twice, and then said: "It's a pity that if several other superheroes can be as well-known as 'Spider-Man', the lyrics will be more resonant." Of course, this ear-catching melody is catchy enough. ”

"I didn't expect you to understand music. ”

Don replied with a smile.

This is normal, many Hollywood producers and directors are proficient in music, such as Clint Eastwood, such as J. J. Abrams and others have the strength to compete for the Grammys.

Zack Schneider asked, "Do you want me to help you shoot the music video for this song?"

Tang En said: "The start of filming of "Ghost Rider" will not be until September, and the time is too sufficient. It's better to take this opportunity to shoot a short film and accumulate experience in special effects production. ”

Zack Schneider is hard to understand.

What special effects can a MV have?

Even if there is, it's a five-cent special effect, which is completely different from the movie.

"Boss, you might ...... I don't know much about the MV production process of the song, it's very simple, and it doesn't need to be like a movie ...... at all"

Before Zack Schneider could finish his words, Donn waved his hand and interrupted him, "No, Zack, you misunderstood!

"Cinematic level?" Zack Schneider was stunned.

Donn smiled: "This song is called "Just Want It This Way", but I prefer another name - "Marvel Song", so you understand what I mean?"

Zack Schneider suddenly realized, "You mean...... You're going to use this song to introduce these Marvel superheroes to fans all over the world? yes, yes, you're going to make a huge splash when you sing a duet with Portman. Through this song, it will definitely make superheroes such as 'Ant-Man', 'Daredevil', 'Iron Man', and 'Ghost Rider' become familiar names to everyone!"

Don nodded and said, "That's right, that's what it means." There are thousands of superheroes in Marvel, but there is only one truly well-known character, 'Spider-Man', which is the biggest disadvantage compared to DC Comics. So we need to find a way to turn Marvel's heroes into names that are sung by the population. ”

Zack Schneider's experience was deeper, and when he looked at Donn's eyes, he had a sense of worship, "This is the value of the film, right? Through music, develop the added value of the film to attract more fans to watch the movies we will launch later, such as "Daredevil", "Ant-Man", "Ghost Rider". ”

Tang En smiled slightly, "It seems that your understanding of the third point of the explosive theory has been deep enough, and next, it depends on your comprehension of the fourth point." ”

"Fourth?" Zack Schneider immediately had a concept in his head, "Highlight effects!"

With the increasing number of special effects movies, if a movie wants to attract more attention from fans, it must produce special effects shots with enough highlights to stand out in a series of special effects blockbusters.

The plot of "Avatar" is actually very ordinary, and the fundamental reason why the box office hit $2.8 billion is that every shot in "Avatar" is a highlight special effects shot!

But Zack Schneider still has a hard time understanding, "What are the production highlights of the MV of the song?"

It's impossible to polish the shots of Don and Natalie showing their affection frame by frame, right?

Donn shook his head, "Zach, you still don't understand what I mean. I'm not going to make a traditional MV short, I'm going to promote Marvel's superheroes. In other words, I want you to use this song to make a promotional video for Marvel superheroes!"

Zack Schneider gasped.

If you are empowered, the mouth is suddenly opened!

He's already a film director, and Don asked him to make a music video for a song, which made him a little resistant at first, and he didn't want to go back to his old job.

If it weren't for the face of Donne, the big boss, he would definitely leave the table in anger.

But now, he finally understands that Don asked him to shoot this MV, which is a good opportunity that he can't ask for!

The promotional video of Marvel superheroes, and it is sung by the family of the big boss Donne Walker and the boss lady Natalie Portman, this is the rhythm of the fire!

This MV is not a singing picture of Don and Natalie, but a video of superheroes according to the content of the lyrics!

Tang En smiled: "I have never doubted your directing ability. However, "Ghost Rider" is different from "Saw Horror" and "Resident Evil", and it needs more large-scale shots. This MV has 7 superheroes before and after, except for Odin, it is best to reflect them. ”

Zack Schneider pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid it's hard!"

"Say!"

"First, these superheroes are all different characters, different shapes, and different styles of screen switching, which will cost more money. ”

Zack Snyder's face was a little solemn.

The MV he shot before only cost $350,000 at most. Donne's requirements are so high, and he also requires highlight special effects, in his opinion, the cost of design, composition, image synthesis and other aspects of each superhero is more than 350,000 US dollars!

Don pointed five fingers on his right hand, "I'll give you $5 million!"

Zack Schneider hesitated for a moment and said, "It's still hard." ”

Don shook his head and said, "$5 million, that's enough!" "Spider-Man" has been filmed twice, and "Daredevil" is also being filmed, and the footage of these two heroes can be edited out of the movie without additional costs. ”

Zack Schneider nodded, "There is a more important issue, the choice of actors!"

There are so many superheroes that they will be made into separate movies in the future. If the actors are determined now, when making movies in the future, it may cause trouble and even have to be replaced.

However, Don had already thought about it all, and said with a smile: "Zach, you are too worried. 'Spider-Man' and 'Daredevil', needless to say, are James Franco and Christian Bale; 'Ghost Rider' is pretty much the same, with Gerald Butler and Cliff Owen decided; the cast of 'Ant-Man' is basically set, it's Paul Rudd, who is a good friend of my former secretary Reese, who has co-starred in movies and also in "Friends". ”

"But what about Iron Man? and Thor?"

"'Iron Man' is very simple, he wears a helmet and his face doesn't need to be exposed. 'Thor'...... He is a god, he only needs to split thunder in the air, and he has a frame image that does not need to show his face. ”

Zack Schneider listened, and even pouted, Donn's attitude was too perfunctory.

Don waved his hand, "Zach, I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, you and your wife have enough MV experience, if you have difficulties, you can figure it out yourself, I just want the result!"

Zack Schneider sat on the couch, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, I'll try." ”

"Spider-Man 2" will be released on May 3, and "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" will be released on May 16. I hope that this music video will be broadcast on major TV stations in the United States in mid-May, and I will cause a sensation and attract attention to "Spider-Man 2"!"

"There are still two and a half months to go. Zack Schneider secretly calculated and took a deep breath, "Enough!"
