Chapter 697: The Avengers

The first issue of the Avengers comic was first published in September 1963, when Marvel labeled the superteam as "the strongest superhero group on Earth", and the original Avengers members were Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and Wasp.

The content of the first story is that the evil god Loki in Norse mythology used illusions to trick Hulk into destroying the railroad tracks in order to fight against his adoptive brother Thor, and Rick Jones, who was Hulk's friend at the time, used a secret phone call to ask Thor to help, but he didn't know that this was Loki's conspiracy, and his purpose was to use Hulk's power to make Thor seriously injured and then solve the endgame by himself.

Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp all received the news, so they rushed to help one after another, and gathered the strength of five people to defeat Loki.

After that, Ant-Man proposed that they form a team of five to fight side by side against the bad guys, and the Wasp named the team group the Avengers, and the founding members of the Avengers were officially born.

But from the beginning, the list of members of the Avengers kept changing, and in the second issue of "The Avengers", Hulk Hulk left the team and was joined by Captain Mi. The ever-changing roster of members has become a hallmark of the Avengers, but one important theme has never changed, and that is that the Avengers specialize in fighting enemies that a single superhero can't deal with, which is the origin of their famous battle cry "Avengers assemble!".

The Avengers are composed of humans, robots, gods, aliens, and various supernatural creatures, and even enemies who have stood against them in the past.

"The Avengers" is a masterpiece that Marvel has been brewing for many years, and Marvel President Kevin has prepared a lot for it, and the initial preparation is five foreshadowing works, and the five works are connected to each other with easter eggs, all of which point to the finale of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe "The Avengers"

The five works in the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, except for the failed "The Incredible Hulk", have all achieved great success, and the two "Iron Man" have won the box office of $1.6 billion worldwide.

Mark also agreed, but he was scandalous last year, and then he took strong control of Time Warner, so he was really flawless, but Kevin began to make preliminary preparations after confirming that Mark was willing to direct.

The production cost of "The Avengers" is 220 million, which is not a record, and it is similar to the production budget of "The Dark Knight".

"The Dark Knight" swept the world, both the box office and the beer, both the box office and the beer, both hit a new personal high for Mark, but Kevin is a pragmatic person, he knows that this kind of movie is hard to come by, rather than risking the pursuit of a box office and beer double harvest work, it is better to pursue a simple box office blockbuster.

He clearly told Mark that he hoped that this was a blockbuster commercial popcorn blockbuster, with a simple and direct plot, which made people enthusiastic and cool, and at the end he added: "Do you understand?"

Mark said: "Understood!" His brain has no water, the investment of 220 million must be cool films and commercial blockbusters, the end of the first phase of Marvel must be a big victory, announcing to the world that he is the most dynamic film production company in the world.

After Mark agreed to enter the pit, Kevin was forming a crew and production team, and after the script was approved by Mark, he began to recruit people, "The Avengers", Captain Mi is the unyielding leader.

In 1941, the war on the other side of the ocean was raging, and the values of freedom and equality cherished by the people of the United States were being destroyed. 9 months before the Pearl Harbor incident, a superhero was born, this is the most famous anti-*** hero in the history of the United States comics, the captain of the United States, cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby did not pay attention to the appeasement policy of the United States government, so that the captain of the United States beat Hitler for the first time, and won the applause of the public.

So the superheroes have joined the battle against ***, among which the status of the captain of the rice country is the most noble, he is the dual embodiment of the true spirit of the rice country and patriotism, wearing a red, white and blue three-color star-striped suit, holding a shield. After the declaration of war in the United States, the captain of the United States became the spiritual food in the army, inspiring the soldiers to fight bravely, which is the main theme to the main theme of things, has been deeply loved by the United States, it ended in 2007, sold a total of 210 million copies, is Marvel's banner, one of the superheroes.

Helplessly, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man starred in the sudden emergence and became the savior of Marvel, a well-deserved box office brother, the big brother of the Avengers, and he should be counted in everything.

Fortunately, they are all members of the Mark gang and have signed a long-term contract, since it is a work directed by Mark, what reason do they have to refuse? This is a beauty difference that others can't grab.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Facebook avatar is Iron Man, and he declares in space, "Guys, I'm going to put on Mark armor again and save the world." ”

Chris Evans: "Captain Rice is ready. ”

Chris Hemsworth: "My hammer is hungry!"

Mark Ruffalo: "It's a great honor to receive a call from Mark! I flipped through my calendar and made sure it wasn't April 1 before I dared to celebrate. ”

Scarlett Johansson: "My slot is free. ”

Jeremy Renner: "Eagle follows." ”

Tom Hiddleston: "Loki reports for duty. ”

"Peter Parker is here. ”

In the end, Peter Parker was announced on the official website, but the name of the actor was not revealed.

With Mark's golden signboard, let the Avengers assemble, that is, in one sentence, after the project was established, many film companies began to contact Marvel to determine its schedule, and no one wanted to match this super blockbuster.

"The Avengers" is scheduled for May 2011, and its estimated shooting period is four months, with eight months of post-production and three months of promotion.

Mark likes to do things with a plan, after making a plan, immediately act around the plan, this is a special effects blockbuster, more than half of the shot is completed in front of the green screen, although so, but there are still many dangerous and difficult actions, he always arranges stand-ins, if all the actors are on their own, this insurance company is difficult to find, and the insurance budget for the actors will also rise significantly.

Like Liangtang's action blockbusters, each one is on its own, creating its own professional attitude of hard work and dedication, as a signboard, but what makes the film company a headache is that finding an insurance company is a problem, and this insurance cost is also a problem, once Liangtang is injured, the whole crew stops and waits for him, this work stops, and the crew's expenses will not be less than half a point, so it is indeed a good idea to use a stand-in, saving money and time, and the troubles and problems in this regard are gone, not just because the actors can't or dare to complete these actions.

This is a special effects blockbuster, especially "Avatar", for audiences with higher and higher visual requirements, watching movies is no longer just about watching the plot, aesthetics, shocking and other visual effects and visual impact have also become an important criterion for evaluating a movie, many audiences come to the cinema to see a picture that cannot be seen in ordinary life.

And "The Avengers", a popular film before it was released, cannot disappoint everyone, in addition to the super cool action and war scenes, it also brought a different visual impact to the audience, and all this is thanks to the special effects production technology of film and television animation.

In "The Avengers", the huge Helicarrier is the main attraction, and it must have left a deep impression on the audience, what is it to play with aircraft carriers in "Transformers"?

To build a Helicarrier, the first thing to do is to make a lot of large green screen sequences for the Helicarrier, which is the beginning of the full 3D environment visuals, and of course it also adds flexibility and convenience to the realization of artistic expression.

"The Avengers" has a total of 800 special effects shots, a total of eight special effects companies to provide special effects support, Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Digital are among them, after Mark put forward the requirements of Helicarrier and Stark Labs, a total of four companies provide solutions, among which Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Field, and Weta Digital have been eliminated, and the shortlisted special effects production company is the well-known Blue Magic Eye Image (EEP) located in San Francisco.

It broke through and would produce nearly 200 special effects shots for it, 130 of which involved the Helicarrier's Stark Labs.

Most of these outstanding and huge special effects are made by their exclusive software, Maya.

The shots were divided into night and day effects, requiring two different views from the lab window. One of the scenes is that when the Helicarrier flies through the clouds, the back of the Helicarrier can be seen from the window of the laboratory, and for this shot, EEP added the extension of the hull outside the window, EEP also created a lot of visual effects, including clouds, skyline, exterior hull, and foyer, repeatedly shared some resources with ILM, and established an ambient night scene.

These productions were quite challenging, first of all EEP made the huge Helicarrier, and the Helicarrier looked completely different in both environments, day and night.

Secondly, the laboratory is located at the bottom of the ship, although it is only an external environment, but it also includes the Helicarrier, so in the end the EEP was made with a "deceptive" visual effect, and it feels like the laboratory is located on the outer side of the Helicarrier's hull.

In addition, the vast majority of EEP's special effects artists have worked in larger companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Domain, and Weta Digital, so they have higher skills. Therefore, in the production of the film "The Avengers", not only did it have to match the lighting of the live set, but also ensure that the design was within the framework of the shooting design of companies such as ILM and Vita, whether it was parallel advancement or sharing resources, in many cases, EEP had to complete the creation, modification and shooting independently, and they proposed a solution to Mark's satisfaction.
