"Firefly" ushered in a sweet angel, and Jessica Alba joined in to play the mysterious girl Reva. ”

With the announcement of the news, the official website of "Firefly" also unsealed the concept map of Ruiva's character, which was reprinted by major movie entertainment websites along with the news, only to see a brown-haired girl in a white dress standing in front of the spaceship, her long hair shawl, expressionless, holding a long revolver in her hanging right hand, and the back of her left hand was stretched out to the ground, as if in a defensive gesture, and the spaceship behind her was printed with the Serenity/Serenity logo for the first time.

"YES, YES!YES!!!, GREAT!" Hearing the news, the happiest people were not Jessica's fans or fans of "Firefly", but Jeffrey Westerhoff and a group of members who criticized the Black Yang faction, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The seriousness of the theme of "Firefly" suddenly dropped a few notches. At the age of 18, she was his angel, and now at the age of 22, she has become a nemesis. Because looking at the list of magical Young's works, what happens when there are "angels" in his films? He will hold Jessica in the palm of his hand and care for her, for fear that she will be "hurt" in the slightest, and the theme of the movie will be childish, and he will become a cute puppy.

When he was 19 years old, he was still magical, and now he is 23 years old, and he is shallow and beaten by the film critics.

"Firefly" may be an interstellar travel book, enjoy the scenery, tell jokes and dance around the campfire, what a wonderful and enjoyable day! Blue Glove is the villain? Is there any villain with Jessica? Meryl Streep's Miranda are so cute.

This is a director's positioning, love and creative tendency for a certain actor, just like Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino's eyes, so there are "Vulgar" and "Kill Bill", and like Natalie Portman in the eyes of Magic, there are "Juno" and "MIT-21-TEAM", everyone thinks Natalie is elegant, intellectual and quiet, but he doesn't, so he makes Natalie a rebellious, smart, ghostly elf, the most trendy and coolest person.

Jessica in the eyes of the magical Yang is sweetheart, angel, and pistachio...... Therefore, "Sin City", which has such a dark style, even if the schedule is fine, fans think that Wang Yang may not be willing to shoot Jessica, and now the answer has surfaced, he continues to leave "Angel" on his set, but it is dangerous to turn "Firefly" into a sci-fi light comedy. Why would Reva hold a revolver?

"Reva is a mysterious girl with great fighting power, she is very beautiful, charming, and dangerous, and I believe that Jessica will bring a big screen surprise to everyone. Wang Yang confidently explained the concept image in the official website in the franchise news, saying that this is a screen image change for Jessica, and she will have a lot of martial arts action scenes in "Firefly".

Martial arts scenes are very hard, and even injuries, is he willing to let Jessica suffer?

In the news, Jessica happily said: "Reva is a new challenge! I always thought that I could play some martial arts masters, and this wish has finally come true!" She laughed and said: "It's great to be able to work with Yang for the sixth time, I can't wait for the start of "Firefly"." ”

Jessica's words are more like Wang Yang's satisfaction, which shows that Yang is likely to be a very controlling male chauvinist, who controls Jessica Alba's every word and deed, ties her to his side, squeezes her personal space, and does not let her take over other movies such as "Fantastic Four", maybe Jessica is not as happy as we see on the surface. I don't know if it's Jessica fans or Yang Hei, Greg D commented with a sigh on Yahoo.

Levins said: "There is no doubt that Wang Yang has a lot of traditional and old-fashioned ideas of Asians, they treat women as personal goods, there is no respect but confinement, and Jessica will not be happy when she marries him." Plinton said excitedly, "What right does he have to keep Jessica from making other films? It's so selfish!" Turner said, "I've seen him unpleasant, and I'm sure Jessica is about to run out of patience and look forward to seeing them cancel their wedding!" ...... For Jessica's rejection of "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four", a large number of male fans are very depressed, without him, in Amazing Young's "Firefly", there must be nothing.

"Damn!" Heath Ledger's agent Steve also wailed, he didn't care about any gossip or what happened to Jessica, Heath shouldn't be sent to hip-hop, right? Geoffrey Westerhoff, who was very excited and happy, couldn't wait to make a sarcastic on his blog: "Will this be the cosmic version of 'The Devil Wears Prada'? I sincerely think that Jessica is better off staying on Earth, doesn't Wang Yang know? Tranquility is a spaceship that explodes at any time." ”

In fact, Jessica's appearance in "Firefly" was expected by the media, and there are so many roles in the sci-fi big production of the spaceship genre, and she must have a share, whether this is a commercial movie tailored for Magic Young for his woman, or it is obviously not suitable and must be played by her.

A few years ago, Jessica chose "Youth Musical", which no one was optimistic about, and gave up "Idle Hands", which is better for all conditions, and now she is naturally very wise and correct; This is not surprising, and perhaps 99% of actresses will make the same choice. It's just that I have to give up "Fantastic Four" with different schedules, why?

Is Wonder Young really a male chauvinist? Does Jessica have to control what she wears, or does she really just like acting for her fiancé?

The gossip entertainment media paid attention to these, according to Jessica's friends revealed to "US-eekly": "Wang Yang does manage Jessica very strictly, he checks the call records of her mobile phone and the email records on the Internet every day, he is really sticky to her, and hopes that she can appear in every movie of his own." Jessica always complained to me about what drove her crazy, and she felt more and more bored and out of breath with Jan. ”

The film press noticed something unusual, why the hull logo of the Tranquility spacecraft was printed in Chinese, maybe it was just as cool as a Chinese tattoo. And the official website of "Firefly" obviously has no intention of unveiling these mysteries for the time being. So the expectant is even more looking forward to it, and many people forget that Magic Yang will not allow the movie starring "Angel" to fail;

"Look, I can't help it! What are these gossip magazines talking about! What friends? It's so infuriating!" In the night, there was a snap, and Jessica angrily slammed a copy of "US-eekly" on the floor, and Danny cautiously walked up to sniff it. With the wedding approaching at the end of the month, and a new round of high popularity brought by "TDP", the attention of their couple who have been quiet for several years has increased significantly, and there has been this pure fabricated gossip from time to time recently.

Almost all of them are "the wedding can't be done", the reason is that the prenuptial agreement cannot be negotiated, and the premarital fear and contradictions erupt, this time Wang Yang has become a nervous man.

"Oh my God!" no one knows better than Jessica that she clings to him and depends on him, hoping to appear in every one of his movies, and can't sleep without hearing his voice for a day, and now the gossip is reversed...... She gritted her teeth and swung a punch: "I really want to beat them!" Wang Yang, who was sitting on the bed over there, closed the thick script of "Firefly" in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Am I not? But gossip magazines are like that, don't be angry, we just don't do it." ”

Jessica is still annoyed: "Someone will believe them! I don't want you to be misunderstood, what chauvinism, what deprivation of my freedom......"

"Don't worry about this, do you know what is the best way to fight back against these news?" Wang Yang smiled, not without a trace of discomfort in his heart, but he cared more about the movie with the relatively nonsensical gossip, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Do our wedding well, and shoot "Firefly" well." ”

Jessica nodded quietly, a charming smile on her face, "Okay!"

Regardless of whether there are any doubts about these "office building rules", "magic nemesis" and so on, Wang Yang will do his best to create "Firefly", he is not 100% sure that he can crush all those doubts in the future, because he is preparing to shoot "Firefly", which does not have future success experience like "TDP", nor does it have future failure experience such as "Winning 21" and "Lucky Player" like "MIT-21-TEAM".

The script story to be told in "Firefly", the form of expression, the picture style, and the level of the scene...... It's all different X-factors, it's all a test, Joss Wheddon's original TV series "Firefly" can not help much, the design of the Tranquility has changed, the world setting of the script, the story, and the number of battles have changed a lot, the scale of the battles and special effects have been greatly upgraded, not to mention the storyboards, this is a new movie from scratch.

The biggest problem and danger lies in the fusion of western cowboy and oriental aesthetics, "Serenity/Serenity" is an unprecedented attempt, or previous attempts at similar fusion have ended in failure, they engage in some nondescript oriental elements, the characters wear the wrong clothes, appear in the wrong scenes, create a sense of weirdness, and the crappy script, it is not surprising that it fails.

This is a huge challenge, and if it fails, it will be a very ugly situation. Wang Yang knows this, but that's interesting, isn't it! After making three genre commercial films, it's time to play big, either to shock the world or be besieged by the world. He's confident that Firefly will get the former, and he's not alone, he has a strong team both in front of and behind the scenes.

There are also excellent talents who have joined the team one after another, and the first phase of the shooting schedule of "Firefly" is the interior of the studio, focusing on the "interior of the Tranquility spaceship", and the starring cast that needs to be finalized before the start of filming is still missing several crew members of the Tranquility, Hogan Walsh, the pilot of the Tranquility, the black first mate Zoe, the muscle mercenary Janeny, and Reva's doctor brother Simon.

In the script finalized by Wang Yang, the pastor Booker and the companion girl Inara, who were in the script of the Joss Whedon TV series, were temporarily not on the Serenity, because they had no role in the story of the episode, and the length of the film and the footage were limited, although he set the length of the film to be about 150 minutes.

Some characters were removed, and some characters were added, which stemmed from the change in the setting story. The mysterious girl Reva is not only the target of the Blue Glove pursuit on the Star Alliance's side, but also the third-party forces "Marauders" in parallel with the Star Alliance and the independence faction.

The Marauder is the product of a failed transformation pilot of the Star Alliance's "Brave New World" Soul Purification Project, in fact, this project has many pilot planets, purified by different experimental methods, and some failed pilot humans end when they die, but the Marauder Planet, which was originally very successful, suddenly exploded and became a third-party force out of control.

Marauders are like the social structure of shrimp wormmen, low-level marauders have no intelligence, only brutal and bloodthirsty instincts, each ship has a common leader, and each ship group has a big leader in charge, who decides to attack the target, the movement of the ship, contact other marauder groups, etc.

At the same time, they not only torture, kill, cannibalize, and destroy, but also capture normal humans alive to "purify" and become a member of the predators. Because the predators think that this is the brave new world! They are the new humans who have successfully purified, and they are the "supermen" that Nietzsche said! (Over-Man, not Super-Man) God is dead, and Superman is the new God! Supermen are the apex of human biological evolution, the best part of the human species, they rule over everything, they are above the concept of good and evil, and they are completely unreproached by conscience, so the predators can wantonly kill people and set fires. Rape and plunder, the tears of the mediocre group do not need to be pitied, because superman is a supreme moral ideal.

Their will, their words, are the law. In the three-level spiritual realm of superhuman philosophy, no predator is the "you should" of the camel realm, the ordinary predator is the "I want" of the lion realm, and the big boss is the "I am" of the child realm. Superman is not "what", Superman "is".

Superman loves adventure, takes pleasure in taking risks, specially chooses strong people to fight with, and is alone, absolutely free, and does not have any friends. Therefore, the marauders are all floating in space with a high-IQ "superman" with a group of ships, doing whatever they want and purifying humanity everywhere, they disdain what base camp they have, and they do not easily assemble into groups. As a result, the Marauders originally had the ability to conquer a large planet together, but they never only wandered and raided at the edge of the universe, and developed ship groups.

Supermen are the most able to endure painful torture and can rise from pain, they can endure the most intense and painful torment, so that they have the strongest willpower, and the most painful genius has the most hope of becoming "Superman". So in addition to the self-proclaimed superhuman captain of the ship, every Marauder likes to mutilate himself and masochize himself, cutting his face to shreds and smashing it, and taking pride in it.

This is the Nazis, this is a misinterpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy of the superman, and in any case, this is the crazy predators with abnormal neurointelligence, their social structure and their way of operating.

The new character is none other than Superman, the Marauder leader of a fleet of ships, a complete lunatic, who is as fanatical as Blue Glove in his pursuit of the "brave new world", and he has been involved in this experiment because of this faith. The difference is that in the understanding of the ideal world, the blue glove believes that there is no evil, everyone is equal and loves each other, and the predators after the experiment believe that there is no good and no evil, and the superman is the highest.

The role of "Predator" is not very many, but it has a very important role, and if the short scene wants to have a flash effect, it will naturally test the actor's acting skills even more, who should be invited to play this important supporting role?

This candidate is not in a hurry to find, and the crew of the Serenity needs to unravel the concept map as soon as possible. "Firefly" is not only preparing the cast, but also another important work scene construction has been built in the Vancouver fire studio, including the interior scenes of the spaceship and various buildings on the script, which are all ordered and produced according to the drawings designed by the art team, and Joss Whedon, set designer Gordon Sheen, and prop master Drew Petrota are in charge of the team.

Of course, in addition to the interior and exterior scenes, there will definitely be a large number of picture shots to use green screen shooting technology, and the special effects shots of the film may be as high as 1500-2000, which is more than twice that of "District 9", and at the same time, there are more molds to be built and more details to be painted. With the manpower of "District 9", it cannot be completed within the deadline, but "Firefly" is a "money burning party", with a budget of up to 200 million.

And "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" is 115 million, "Fantastic Four" is 100 million, and "Batman" is 135 million, so they are uneasy, and the media will be surprised to call Wang Yang's production of "Firefly": "The ambitious Fantastic Yang wants to build a skyscraper." ”

Especially with a budget of 200 million yuan, there is no real first-line superstar, and almost all of this large amount of money is used for its own production. Money can be more sophisticated, it can also be faster, the graphics engine has expanded the world to recruit excellent animators, forming a new team of "Firefly" visual effects, despite this, a company of manpower and technology can not eat alone, and like "District 9", the graphics engine needs to find other special effects companies to cooperate.

Now their job is to make clay models, 3D models, texture textures, etc., based on the design drawings, and then draw the scenes of outer space according to the storyboard script.

Actors, hardware preparation, special effects...... Wang Yang needs to follow up on all the work, and the personal side has to prepare for the wedding at the end of the month, and in the busy life track, the footsteps of the 61st Golden Globe Awards are gradually approaching.
