"Actually, there is only one ...... truth"

Changing to a joking tone, Murphy made a throat-cutting gesture and said, "With the setting of Wonder Woman, how can people like Lex Luthor and the Joker be allowed to be presumptuous, and they can't die if they turn over and over." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gal Gadot and Nicolas Cage both laughed, and Chris Evans realized, "It turned out that they were both killed." ”

Although it can't be generalized, and it's also a joke of Murphy, to a certain extent, Wonder Woman is tougher than Superman and Batman.

Wonder Woman is a pacifist, but she has another identity - the goddess of war.

When it's time to do things and kill, she's far more decisive and ruthless than Superman and Batman, or maybe to put it another way, Wonder Woman isn't as constrained by many rules and regulations as those two.

However, Wonder Woman is a cameo after all, and the focus in the film is also a few action scenes, and the whole film still revolves around Superman.

Filming is already in the final stages, and even though it's a film about Superman's origins, Murphy hasn't shot any shots of Krypton, and Clark Kent was always so skewegy and overgrown before becoming Superman.

In this way, Murphy is to integrate Superman's story into the realistic environment, and the specific way to integrate it is to emphasize the acquired influence from the story setting, and strive to portray this is an alien child who grew up on the earth, rather than a god-like being who came to the earth.

The difference between this is that the former adapts to extraterrestrial abilities with a human mentality, while the latter is the opposite.

To put it bluntly, this is a story of how Clark Kent changed from a human to a "superman", which is Murphy's version of "Superman's First Cultivation", the key to which is to "be raised by humans", and then become Superman and be worshiped by some people, hated and feared by other people.

This also shows that Superman has more of a human side than a divine side, and that people are always complex.

After the crew spent the 2007 New Year's holiday, Murphy's filming entered the final stage, all the main shots have been filmed, and the rest are scenes that reflect passers-by.

Although there will be no protagonist in these shots, Murphy's requirements are not relaxed, and no matter how great a hero is, he needs to be supported by ordinary people.

Because Murphy had to take care of the equally important special effects production at the same time as the shooting, the few remaining shots were delayed until mid-January.

"Yes, all the filming of Man of Steel is over."

On the day the crew completed all the filming, Murphy cooperated with Warner Bros. publicity plan and specially accepted an interview with media reporters, and the main question he faced was: Why is it called "Man of Steel" and not "Superman"?

Speaking into the microphone of an Empire reporter, Murphy said, "Our decision not to call it Superman was deliberate, and I decided to call it 'Man of Steel' because I wanted to draw a line between the old Superman and the new Superman." We always knew we could use superhuman symbols and symbols when naming it, but we wanted to use 'Man of Steel' to represent the new image we created, first of all because he was a man, but he was not a man of flesh and blood, so I used 'Man of Steel' to describe him, and that's why we named it that way. ”

Murphy's words are very straightforward, and it is also the first time that the crew has clearly admitted that "Man of Steel" is a completely different movie from the old Superman movie, and the image of Superman in it is also a completely different image from the old version, although it has a similar "S" logo, it can also represent different meanings.

Soon after filming, Murphy took Jody Griffith's editing team, plus special effects, sound effects, and color grading, into post-production.

Since some shots have been stitched at the same time, the rough cut of the film is relatively easy, and in addition to determining the main plot, Murphy also has to determine a clear worldview that belongs to the series.

Unlike ordinary films, "Man of Steel" is the beginning of a whole Justice League series, and since Murphy has signed a contract, he must make some foreshadowing for the development of the following film, in addition to Wonder Woman as a cameo, there is also the Wayne Group logo in close-ups, especially the Wayne Tower in the collapsed Metropolis in the final battle.

However, that's all Murphy has done, and now unlike in the past, Marvel Comics' "Iron Man" will not be released until 2008, which is later than "Man of Steel", as long as the film can be successful, Warner Bros. and DC Comics will be able to calmly lay out the entire series of films.

As for whether Warner Bros. will continue to invite him to direct, it is not something that Murphy can control, after all, his remuneration is really high, and it is difficult to say whether the other party is reluctant to do so.

"Man of Steel" Warner Bros. offered him $10 million plus 20 percent of the global box office and DVD sales share, which, according to Hollywood rules, is impossible to renew his contract.

In the face of such a high salary, even the six major Hollywood companies have to think about it.

Murphy doesn't craze too much content into the film, the lessons of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" are in his head, and "Man of Steel" will not mention any other superheroes except for the Justice Triumvirate.

Therefore, in addition to proper foreshadowing, Murphy's rough cut is mostly to show a new and different world with supermen from the past.

In the old version of the Superman movie, there is such a phenomenon: Superman came, Superman appeared, Superman saved people and the earth, and then people very consciously thought that Superman's appearance was natural, without the slightest doubt and fear.

But is it logical? Obviously not, because from the perspective of human history, human beings have a natural fear of strange things, and they will not easily trust a powerful stranger with super powers, and these are precisely the places where "Man of Steel" will be clearly different from the old version of Superman movies, and it is precisely the darkest place of "Man of Steel" movies.

When humans face Superman, they are like the people of Gotham City face Batman, Superman is not a hero, but a monster, a monster that they can't control and understand, so the general public's perception of Superman is very simple: I don't know you, you make me scared, you don't belong here!

The worldview of "Man of Steel" is first and foremost realistic, and Murphy assumes what would happen to a man who is invincible but himself is a man of steel in the real world of human life, and that this person is still an alien and does not belong to humanity in the first place.

It is clear that Murphy wants to spend the whole film in "Man of Steel" with Superman in the doubt and fear of humans.

After the rough cut, the next focus is to add various special effects to the corresponding shots, the most important of which is undoubtedly the action special effects.

It has to be said that Christopher Reeve's version of the Superman tetralogy lives in the seventies and eighties of the last century after all, too far back, and because of this, who can't blame the rather rudimentary-looking cinematic techniques of that era and the seemingly lame battle scenes.

In 2006, Brandon Ross's version of "Superman Returns" used IMAX3D technology, but because of the lack of powerful villains, the combat special effects of the whole movie were very ineffective, which is also the reason why "Superman Returns" was criticized by many fans.

IMAX and 3D technology have been around for many years, but they have not yet been popularized, and some people have suggested that Murphy use IMAX technology, but he has not adopted it, after all, there are too few IMAX theaters now.

As for 3D, unless he has a problem with his head, he will use 3D technology in a dark-toned film.

3D has a very obvious damage to the brightness of the film, even if it is an ordinary film, but Murphy's style is destined to be unsuitable for 3D, the tone of "Man of Steel" is mainly dark cyan, but Murphy is also very careful, this is a commercial film, first of all, we must take into account the feelings of the audience, the theme plot of the film will be placed in the daytime, not the dark night.

Especially the action scenes, all during the day.

For the editing and special effects of the action scenes, Murphy also added digital doubles of Superman and Wonder Woman.

Action doubles are common in the film industry all over the world, that is, when dangerous shots or backshots, big-name stars generally use stand-ins, which is very common in traditional action movies, but in the digital age, digital doubles will be used in various shots that cannot be shot in real life or in some specific scenes.

In the fight scenes of "Man of Steel", Murphy uses digital doubles in almost all medium and long shot action shots, and even some close-ups of Superman or Wonder Woman in some non-fighting scenes, and the backs are not real people.

Then there is the soundtrack, at the request of Murphy, Warner Bros. invited Hans Zimmer, although the status of the soundtrack master in the circle is not as good as John Williams, but it is more suitable for commercial productions, and its best is the electronic symphony, melodious and melodious melodies with rhythmic drumbeats, which are quite compatible with "Man of Steel".

Murphy also specifically asked Hans Zimmer to prepare a special background music for Wonder Woman, and whenever Diana Prinz appears as Wonder Woman, she will bring her own BGM.

The work continued until February, when Man of Steel missed the Super Bowl ad due to unfinished special effects, but the film's promotional efforts continued, with Warner Bros. spending a whopping $150 million on the film.

At the end of February, the post-production of the film came to an end for the time being, and Murphy temporarily handed over the finishing to Jody Griffiths, who came to Universal Studios with Gal Gadot to prepare for the filming of the film directed by Seth Rogen. (To be continued.) )
