Chapter 467: Wonderful (2nd Update)

Every man has a heroic dream, and Chen Tiandu is no exception. The reason why the United States is so rich in superheroes has a lot to do with the personal heroism they admire.

Heroism is the spiritual and cultural characteristic of American society, emphasizing the value of the individual and the free-spirited thinking, which is deeply rooted in the minds of young Americans. Even their education emphasizes this value. Naturally, movies, comics, etc. are indispensable for this kind of general market view, which is obviously more positive than idol dramas.

It is precisely in this situation that Americans can achieve their dreams as long as they work hard, regardless of whether they are rich or low, and they can create one American dream after another, which is also the key to the rapid development of the American economy.

If "Spider-Man" is the paragon of civilian superheroes, then "Iron Man" is the ultimate in plutocratic heroes. As for "Batman", he has been brought into another dark realm by Chen Tiandu.

In the filming of "Iron Man", many high-end weapons were used.

In China, it is almost impossible for a private film company with no connections to rent top-notch military equipment for filming. In the United States, as long as there is money, this is not a problem at all.

Each of the major U.S. military districts has its own intermediary agency that liaises with the film and television industries, and these agencies are all based in an office building on Wilshire Avenue in Westwood District, and the intermediary agency of the Department of Defense is the most famous of them.

As the main representative of the American cultural industry, Hollywood movies are an important way to promote American culture, and they are also the best channel and means to maintain and enhance the image of the United States in the world. But since the recent Iraq war, the image of the U.S. government has deteriorated rapidly. In the movie, it is no longer to glorify the US military, they have become clowns, poor worms, and executioners.

Because the death toll has already exceeded a thousand. This puts this year's U.S. military recruitment in a difficult position again. The Pentagon has also begun to actively seek cooperation with Hollywood. An attempt to reverse the image of the United States as a "bully" in the world. The Ministry of Defense is one of the most regulated institutions. In order to meet the needs of the film industry for weapons and equipment when filming films, the website of the intermediary agency of the Ministry of Defense even clearly marked the rental price of the weapons and equipment platform.

Chen Tiandu still has some concerns, originally thinking that with the nature of the matrix company, it will be difficult to contact the US side for help, at least there will be some obstacles. Unexpectedly, Kevin Feige just took the checkbook and went to a party of a military nature at the White House and managed to get everything done.

You can have whatever you want, and the "Air Force One" of the presidential plane has a clear price of $72,000 per hour. The lease fee for the F22 fighter is $25,000 per hour. There are even Global Hawk UAVs at your disposal. They continue to provide weapons and planes, and they also give away pilots for free for shooting, and they will also have fuel money leftover, which is completely a one-stop service.

That's capitalism, sometimes simply cute, isn't it?

In the original time and space, "Iron Man" was turned upside down in downtown Los Angeles, and as a result, there was not a single policeman, not a single soldier, and not even a press car appeared. This is a far cry from the scene in "Spider-Man" where reporters can be seen everywhere in every Spider-Man sortie.

Although these plots have been used up rottenly, and they are very bloody. But these are the cool points. "Superheroes, how can there be no reporters?" You're playing so beautifully. Of course, it needs a large enough audience to cheer it on.

And in order to increase the logical persuasiveness of the film, the movie even set the most exciting battle scene at night, when Chen Tiandu saw this dimly lit scene in the cinema, he felt that the director was completely avoiding the cost, and filmed the duel between the two robots into a brawl of street hooligans......

The big scenes, the big battles, the high tide, the most brilliant essence of the whole superhero movie, the most anticipated shots by the audience, but they can't be released to their heart's content, this is simply a crime!

Chen Tiandu's movies have always been selling with high tides.

If he shoots like this, he will probably be scolded to death by his fans.

Having said all that...... In short, to be cool, to explode, to destroy the Avenue of Fame, to destroy Hollywood! Then ...... Get an air force formation, an army armored unit, and a Navy missile submarine cruising right into the waters off Los Angeles!

With such a huge lineup, coupled with the high-tech mark1, the production cost of the film has also skyrocketed. In the end, the budget specification has exceeded 160 million US dollars.

But no one has any doubts about this level.

Compared with a blockbuster, such a budget is qualified. What's more, Chen Tiandu's offer to himself is only the lowest market price of 2+2. In today's Hollywood, even if he offers himself a price of 3+2 or even 4+2, it is estimated that some people will rush to ask for it.

I dare to question this production fee, have you lived to the end?

……

The film was filmed in California, and the opinions of the main creators of Marvel were originally New York. But Chen Tiandu feels that there are already too many heroes filmed on the East Coast, New York is indeed charming, but California is not bad, and maybe Iron Man can take a spin over Las Vegas.

Boeing founder Howard Hughes is the prototype of Tony Stark.

He was also the epitome of his time: a great inventor, an adventurer, a millionaire, a romantic saint, and an absolute madman.

Stan Lee proudly told Chen Tiandu, "The reason I wanted to create the character 'Iron Man' was that I wanted to create a character that was different from ordinary superheroes. Young people can like him because Tony is rich, handsome, funny, and attractive. At the same time, I deliberately designed his heart to be fragile so that he would not appear too perfect, and the reader would be more concerned about his well-being because of it. As a result, you know, the response from readers has been super good, and of all the Marvel comic book characters, Iron Man receives the most letters from female comic book fans. Readers of all ages care about the human side of the character, so, Chen, it's better not to make Tony Stark too bad...... "He is really worried that Chen Tiandu has not yet come out of the state of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Chen Tiandu patted him on the shoulder, and smiled slightly as a promise.

It can be seen that this old man has no desires for the rest of his life, especially these works that are regarded as children have been put on the big screen one by one. But he still didn't want his works to be tampered with, so he told Chen Tiandu a lot.

Of course, Chen Tiandu will give him enough respect, but he is the boss and the director.

Now that he has chosen "Iron Man", he doesn't need to be said by others, and he will also hope that the movie can be perfect.

Not only is the "Iron Man" character popular, but he is the only self-help superhero in the Marvel series, because his superpowers come from the male protagonist Tony? Stark's own Iron Cloak.

There may be many reasons for how a superhero can be established, but an opponent with enough weight is the most important thing.

Over the years, Marvel has created thousands of comic book characters, among which the relationships between the characters are chaotic, and some are not in the same time and space. It would be very troublesome to sort out the relationship between thousands of people...... Or simply impossible.

It's too difficult to find an opponent of comparable strength for "Iron Man", don't have so many fantasy colors, try to be realistic. The more classic villains in the original comics, such as "Titanium Man" and "Crimson Mecha", were considered in the ranks, but in the end, they chose the same villain as in another time and space - the lesser-known "Iron Overlord", whose real body is Obadia Stan, as the main enemy of "Iron Man" in this episode.

Obadiah also has his own armor and is a merchant who is in the same era as Tony Stark. But Chen Tiandu's version of Obadai will definitely be different in many ways. He is a big director, but he will not create a 90-minute film where Robert Downey Jr. brushes his face to support the scene.

……

The historic "Cinema Road" and Preavista Platform in Penang, California, are the original site of Edward Air Force Base, one of the main filming locations of the film, and the two platform landscapes that often appear in the film have historical roots with Howard Hughes.

Now, one of the scenes being filmed here is where Tony Stark is taken captive to a cave and forced to make Jericho missiles for Middle Eastern thugs.

In order to present the realistic landscape he wanted, Chen Tiandu chatted a lot with Michael Riva, who served as the art director. The precipitous cave-like scene created by him has also come in handy.

At this time, little Robert Downey had just woken up from the cave, and Chen Tiandu was sitting behind the monitor on the other side, picking up the loudspeaker and shouting: "Genius, it's time for you to show your acting skills." You're not a billionaire or a playboy now, but a prisoner. ”

"Are you really verbose, are married men like this to become uncles who talk a lot? Ready to start? ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Congratulations, you haven't even walked into the church with Susan, and you're already talkative." Since I can't wait, let's start, I'm waiting to see NG's good show. ”

Donnie gestured to his middle finger and ignored him.

Robert Downey Jr. in the camera immediately enters the groove, in which he struggles violently from a nightmare, and the expression on his face is real and dreams of hell repeatedly. Then he suddenly woke up, his skin was pale and his face was covered with sweat.

He inhaled hard, his throat itching, as if he hadn't drunk water in a long time. His head grossly probed from side to side, his hands clutched around, and then he naturally found the wires attached to his chest. He tore hard, but he brought more pain to himself.

Susan, one of the producers on the side, was a little distressed to watch, although it was a performance, the experience came from real life.

This performance was wonderful, Chen Tiandu watched it once, twice, and three times with a critical eye, and still had to shout "pass". Maybe Tony Stark's uneven writing experience is too similar to Robert Downey Jr.'s personal experience of being incarcerated, and he smoothly substituted it to have such a wonderful performance.
