Chapter 394: The Father of Superheroes
Ask for recommended tickets and commuter passes!
The press room was crowded, with signs on their chests of websites such as newspapers, television stations, or entertainment movies, and their targets were the four people sitting at the front, and in any case, this was a "Superman" movie, which naturally attracted the attention of the media and the public. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Media reporters have different attitudes towards different people.
They asked Chris Evans basically about how it felt to play Superman, asked Megan Fox about the differences and similarities of working with two big directors, and asked Gal Gadot basically about his feelings!
That's right, even today, the media still questions why such a Jewish girl with no qualifications, too slender figure, and **** no more than C at most, can get the important role of Wonder Woman?
All media reporters actually have the same answer, because Gal Gadot's boyfriend is the film's director, Murphy Stanton!
Although he has been questioned and troubled, Gal Gadot is smart enough, and he has gradually become mature and capable in recent years, and he has dealt with it quite decently.
"Stanton Director ......"
In the end, the reporter's question focused on Murphy, the director, "According to the various news that has been revealed so far, "Man of Steel" will be a very serious work? Why? ”
Murphy adjusted the microphone and said, "In the real world, people don't joke about it all the time, like in those films in the last few years, which are more artistically expressed, but I don't think there's anything wrong with being serious." ”
"Man of Steel is the cornerstone of the entire Justice League franchise?" Another reporter asked.
I don't know if it's an intentional release, Warner Bros. intends to create the entire "Justice League" series, so Murphy's "Man of Steel" is a big killer offered by Warner and DC.
Such news also made DC comic fans ecstatic.
Compared with Warner Bros.'s high-profile publicity and marketing, Murphy is still more cautious and subtle, "If you can shoot "Man of Steel" well and shape the character of Superman well, you can hope to do more "Justice League" series, so we must first let the audience accept "Man of Steel", this is our greatest hope, take the road ahead, that's all." ”
"Man of Steel" has been scheduled to be released at the beginning of the summer season in May, and after this promotional announcement, the film has officially entered the pre-screening publicity stage, and Warner Bros. and the crew have begun to release relevant promotional materials and information to the outside world.
"Los Angeles Times: Warner Bros. recently released the official plot introduction of "Man of Steel", and the whole story will revolve around the recognition and search for Superman's self-identity.
"In the camp of superheroes, Superman has always been the most recognized and sought after one. Clark Kent is an ordinary young man in his 20s on the surface, but there is an unknown superpower hidden in his body, which makes him always have an invisible barrier between him and other people, and this superpower that can destroy everything comes precisely from the Krypton planet where he was born. “
"Clark is an orphan of that highly intelligent alien planet, because he has no biological parents, his identity has always been a mystery that haunts him, and the Kent couple who adopted him have a deep impact on his upbringing, and how to use his superpowers, this value judgment, is also inherited from this kind couple. When the survival of the world is hanging by a thread, can he really stand up? ”
This so-called plot introduction will not cause any spoilers, but can effectively attract the attention of fans.
At the same time, "The Hollywood Reporter" announced the ten most anticipated blockbusters this summer, "Man of Steel" and "Spider-Man 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Transformers" and other films are all among them.
Since "Man of Steel" was released on the second weekend after the release of "Spider-Man 3", the two films are also seen by many as a super competition between the surprise superhero movie and the DC superhero movie.
Man of Steel still had some post-production work left unfinished, and Murphy then returned to Warner Studios to continue his work.
He first reviewed some of the shots that Jody Griffith had finished, the editor who had worked with Murphy for many years, was undoubtedly very clear about the effect that the film needed to achieve, except for a few places, Murphy was quite satisfied with the clips he had finished, and Jody Griffiths could continue to be responsible for the later cuts.
The second is the special effects production, most of the special effects production of the film has been completed, but in order to meet Murphy's requirements, the special effects production team of Industrial Light & Magic still needs to continue to improve and render.
Then there is the soundtrack, Hans Zimmer completed the first version of the main score, just like "Titanic", the soundtrack of mainstream Hollywood commercial films will be based on a single tune, and then evolve into a soundtrack suitable for different plots and scenes.
Hans Zimmer's ability goes without saying, in addition to the main soundtrack, he also submitted two different background music about Wonder Woman to Murphy, and finally Murphy chose an exotic, electronic soundtrack with a clear rhythm of the drum, and let Hans Zimmer further increase the appeal of the music, and strive to make people who hear this background music can burn at the same time as seeing Wonder Woman on the screen.
After all of this, the post-production work is more than half done, but Murphy has no time to relax, and there is still a lot of work to be done in dubbing, color grading, and sound effects editing.
Also, Chris Evans' personal image will also be fine-tuned to be more in line with the superhuman image of the comics, and issues like hair color and skin tone are not a problem at all in the face of today's film technology.
After the Oscars this year, Warner Bros. continued to make efforts in publicity and marketing, and the crew officially signed contracts with companies such as Burger King, Coca-Cola and Gatorade to jointly launch new products with the image of Superman, and Burger King also specially launched a Kryptonian package named after Carl El.
At the same time, Murphy also let the crew release the first official poster, the protagonist of the film is Superman, and the poster is naturally Superman.
The poster spread the internet as quickly as possible, and appeared on numerous television stations and print media.
The "Superman" on the poster shows its side face in the dark, and the light spills in, shining on the huge S logo on the chest of "Superman". Fans can clearly observe the changes in the "Superman" style in "Man of Steel": the small curly hair on Superman's forehead is gone, the S logo on the chest has become larger, the blue tights still have the texture of scales, and the biggest change is that the bright red of the chest logo and cloak has changed to maroon.
"Every character in the film brings a believable sense of reality." Murphy also updated his personal blog with the poster, "Superman is the jewel in DC's crown, and when we shoot the Superman series well, what else is impossible." ”
He also alluded to "Man of Steel" going straight to the "Justice League" series that followed.
At the same time, Superman's new version of the logo was exposed, this new "S" type LOGO, which continued the darker tones of various promotional materials previously transmitted by the crew, and there were more complex lines in the "S" word, many people speculated that this version of Superman would encounter various difficult and tortuous obstacles.
On the first day of April, Warner Bros. released the first version of "Man of Steel" through a number of public television stations and Internet media.
The trailer for this exposure is divided into two versions, both versions are exactly the same from the picture to the soundtrack, the ingenuity lies in the narration, Murphy deliberately uses the narration method, in an extremely short trailer, to tell the audience some of the characteristics of this copyright superman.
The narration in the first revealed version of the official blog is pronounced by Superman's adoptive father on Earth, Jonathan Kent: "You're not an ordinary person. One day you will have a choice. You will decide what kind of person you want to become. No matter who you become, good or evil, you will change the world. ”
The trailer for the NBC TV release was whispered by Superman's biological father, Joel Eyre: "You have to give people an ideal to strive for, and they will follow you, and they will fall, and they will fall." But they will eventually follow you in the light, and you will work miracles. ”
While there are all the differences between the two versions of the trailer, the messages of the two Superman fathers are different but they are both uplifting enough.
Along with the two versions of the trailer, there is also a small video by Murphy, in which Murphy claims, "Superman is the father of all superheroes, and is the Rosetta Stone that interprets the unique theme of 'superheroes'." I have a lot of respect for Superman and I will reflect that respect in the film, and I am proud to direct Man of Iron and believe that the film's unique style and quality will conquer the audience. ”
As the video footage of "Man of Steel" was finally released, fans who had been waiting for it began to gather on Superman and Murphy's official website and blogs to express their expectations for the film.
"This trailer is bullish, you can score more than 9 points by watching the trailer, I promise this movie is not bad, because the director is Murphy Stanton......"
"I was completely blown away, the majestic soundtrack emerged as the Son of Krypton, and the two unique narrations seemed to indicate that the story was more twisty and unforgettable, and the ideal Superman seemed to be returning...... Expect! ”
Of course, among Murphy's fans seriously, everything about him is the best.
"After watching the trailer, why do I think the director is more handsome than the protagonist?"
"Murphy's screenwriter and director, the picture, the plot, the style, and the music are absolutely perfect! Gotta look forward to it! ”
On the one hand, it is Superman's well-known name, and on the other hand, Murphy's long-established reputation and appeal, and a large number of fans have considerable expectations for "Man of Steel".
But there are also many people who are bearish, and the reasons for their attacks are quite concentrated.
"A flat-chested Wonder Woman? What are you kidding, at that point, I won't watch this film either! (To be continued.) )
