Chapter 15: The Spider Hides

Kevin Feige had to stand up and walk to the large projection screen, he pressed the button a few times, but the remote control that did not respond made him a little flustered.

Such a performance not only made several executives of Fire Lion Pictures present frown, can such a frizzy boy be worthy of the heavy responsibility given to him by the boss?

"Oh! Kevin Feige finally figured out the remote control, cleared his throat and straightened up to look at the attendees. Although the eyes of the entire conference room were on him, he was unhurried, which made Sid nod secretly.

Kevin Feige, who was in a good condition, smiled at everyone, "Actually, the project of "Spider-Man" started in March last year. ”

"Ah——!" "What?" "TF?"

Kevin Feige's mouth made everyone's faces change dramatically, in March last year?

"Spider-Man" started secretly at that time?

"Quiet!" Sid suddenly spoke with a flat face, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Sid in unison, and Sid said slowly, "Kevin will explain the situation to you." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Kevin Feige again, and he had to continue: "Last February, after the filming of "X-Men" was completed, the Marvel team I led returned to the company. After that, the boss called me, and according to the script, we started all the preparatory work. ”

"Wait!, script?" interrupted Henry, the manager of the production department, in surprise.

"Not bad. Sid smiled faintly, "The script for "Spider-Man" has already been completed. ”

Although he knew the ability of his boss, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but buzz from ear to ear, Sid "Bang!" slapped his palms twice, and after attracting everyone's attention, Sid smiled: "I know everyone has a lot of questions, and then listen to Kevin's introduction, I promise that everything will be clear." ”

Now that Sid had reassurance, everyone suppressed their curiosity and turned to Kevin Feige, who had no choice but to continue.

"Based on the script of the boss, we started with the art style, and after experimenting with 9 different styles, we invited three-time Oscar-winning James Acheson to design the new Spider-Man suit based on the comic book of the Golden Age!"

Following Kevin Feige's words, he pressed the remote control at the right time, and the big screen suddenly switched to the next design of Spider-Man's suit. I saw a silver net on a red background, blue around the perimeter, a black eight-legged spider logo in the middle, and a design draft of the Spider-Man suit covering the whole body, which appeared on the big screen.

"Looks good—" "It's very simple." Everyone nodded.

"Because the silver thread of the Spider-Man suit changes color depending on the surrounding environment, in our CGI concept art, the suit looks like this......" said Kevin Feige pressing the remote again.

The big screen switches again, this time the CGI-made Spider-Man jumps over the photographic city, and under the golden sunlight, the whole suit shines, especially the original silver spider eyes, which also turn golden. Spider-Man is jumping on it, stretching out his right arm and making his signature silk-firing motion.

"Wow-" "That's so handsome!" "W-It's true!?"

It wasn't until they saw this photorealistic concept art created in CGI that everyone understood what kind of existence Sid's upcoming "Spider-Man" was, which couldn't help but make them excited.

As one of the top idol heroes in the European and American world, most boys grew up with Spider-Man when they were young.

"Once we had decided on the art style, we went on to prepare for the costumes, sets, and CGI storyboarding. Although he was also very excited, Kevin Feige continued to explain to everyone.

"In terms of special effects costumes, the main ones are the Spider-Man suit and the villain Green Goblin's suit. While Kevin Feige explaining, he also pressed the remote control to show everyone the design exploded view of the Spider-Man suit and the Green Goblin suit.

"The difficulty of Spider-Man's suit lies in the material and process, and finally Mr. James Acheson used the silkscreen printing process to print Spider-Man's muscle lines onto the surface of the clothing. In this way, the flexibility of the actor's movement and visual strength are ensured. ”

"On the Green Goblin, it's a complex part, you can see ......" Kevin Feige showed everyone a model of the CGI version of the Green Goblin suit, the green suit with complex parts, not only the styling style is very complete.

And similar to Batman's suit, there are so many small arms and widgets on the Green Goblin suit that Justin Lin even saw something like a narcotic aerosol jet on it.

"In addition, we spent 6 months designing and 2 months making 22 Spider-Man costumes and 9 Green Goblin suits for the shoot. ”

Kevin Feige's words surprised everyone, "22 sets!?"

"Not bad. Kevin Feige nodded, "Because according to the script, Spider-Man will encounter various situations and suffer various injuries, so we have made suits with different damaged appearances such as burns, knife cuts, tears, etc. ”

Kevin Feige's words made the Fire Lion crowd show surprised expressions, they didn't expect that the preparation of "Spider-Man" had been carried out to such a meticulous level, nor did they expect Kevin Feige to grow to such a point after only being the executive producer of "X-Men" once.

"Uh, Boss, if the Spider-Man suit is ready, have we chosen the actors?" Henry, the manager of the production department, suddenly thought of a very serious question.

"Nope. Sid shook his head.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, "This actor hasn't been selected well, what should I do if the costume doesn't fit!?"

If the costume that took more than half a year to design and produce does not fit, it will be a complete waste? and it will even slow down the filming plan!

"Oh, it's easy. Sid smiled and pointed at Kevin Feige.

He had to explain: "When we made the Spider-Man suit, we took into account the elasticity, so all the suits can fit actors between 170 and 175 cm tall. ”

Kevin Feige's words made everyone laugh helplessly, that is, they can only find someone between 170-175 to play Spider-Man Law.

Such a "perverted" audition request will definitely drive all the candidates crazy.
