I would also like to thank the book friends who have been silently supporting the storm, and tell you a good news that our book will be on the front page on Sunday! This qiē is all because of your support, thank you.
This is two weeks earlier than the storm expected, so the storm decided to adjust the outline again, two weeks in advance to launch our movie storm, of course, there is also a need to add more explosive updates, please give me a little time, I must do my best to adjust the content, so, there is only one change today.
Starting tomorrow, the Extreme Movie Journey will officially begin!
The elegant setting, exquisite dishes, sweet wine and warm atmosphere made the atmosphere of the dinner quickly reach its peak.
However, everyone was very restrained and did not get drunk.
Everyone knows that it is more important to communicate with other people than to drink heavily on this occasion, and it is not only a good opportunity to network and strengthen relationships, but also to learn a lot from different people.
After three rounds of drinking, Steve, who was sitting next to Paul, stood up, raised his glass and said, "Everyone, some of you may not know me yet, let me introduce myself, my name is Steve, and I am the executive director of Paramount." ”
After listening to his introduction, everyone except Jerry looked at each other, not understanding what he was here for.
However, Steve soon revealed the answer: "Next Wednesday, we will have a small cocktail party, and we invite you to enjoy it." ”
As he spoke, Steve glanced at Paul, who quickly took out a stack of invitations from his briefcase and distributed them to everyone present.
Ke Zihua thought that Paul came to the airport by chance, but he didn't expect them to have other intentions, and when he took the invitation card that Paul handed him with a smile, he was even more confused.
"Paramount Pictures and Marvel Reception?"
"What do these two companies do with us? Our boss is Jerry! ”
Even Cage didn't know what the situation was, and asked suspiciously, "Steve, are you sure you didn't send the wrong invitation?" ”
Steve smiled and replied, "Of course not, although this is a networking reception between Paramount and Marvel, some colleagues in the circle will also be invited to attend." ”
Then, Steve nodded to Jerry and continued, "As everyone knows, Ms. Shirley and Mr. Jerry have been friends for many years, so this time we are invited to this reception by order of Ms. Shirley. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jerry also spoke: "It's true, this is a small-scale internal drinking party, so we didn't invite many people, everyone can participate if they are interested." ”
After speaking, Jerry said to Ke Zihua again: "Shirley also wants to meet you, she wants to talk to you about the next film." ”
Ke Zihua was very surprised by this, he didn't expect that he would be so popular, and he would be able to make continuous film appointments, this one has not yet started filming, and there will be new film appointments soon.
In fact, he underestimated himself too much, he thought he was just an ordinary stuntman, and he became an action director with John's support, and there was no released work.
So until now, he still feels that he is an inconspicuous little person, at most he has shot a few sets of stunt shots that are not bad.
But he forgot that he shot it at the level of more than ten years later, although these shots could only be said to be wonderful enough at that time, and even some of them were adapted by him from scenes in other movies, but now they are enough to surprise everyone's attention.
These stunt shots of his, whether in terms of shooting techniques, creative concepts, and even the wonderful process of action, have to throw out other people several streets!
It is precisely for this reason that he will enter the field of vision of these big people, otherwise why would Jerry go all the way to Wen Gehua to invite him?
But those who have achieved good results in a certain field have also a good vision.
Whether it is Jerry or Shirley, after seeing Ke Zihua's video, they all see the huge value and infinite potential hidden in him!
Therefore, here Jerry spared no expense to invite him to the crew, and on Paramount's side, Shirley also reacted in a timely manner, and even moved out the company's major shareholder to act as a messenger.
Ke Zihua was still a little confused, and asked Jerry, "But, isn't this a networking party between Paramount and Marvel?" It seems a little inappropriate for us to go, right? ”
Without waiting for Jerry to speak, Steve preemptively explained: "Of course it's appropriate, we are trying to work with Marvel to make a series of comic book movies and bring the heroes of the comics to the big screen, and we happen to need a reliable action director, so you are the first to think of you." ”
Listening to his explanation, Ke Zihua's heart moved: "Marvel, the famous Marvel company!" Listening to Steve, they are uniting with Paramount at this time, is it to launch their cinematic universe project? ”
"It won't be so fast, will it? You must know that in the previous life, it wasn't until "Iron Man" was a big hit in 08 that they started this plan. ”
So, Ke Zihua suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked Steve tentatively quietly: "Steve, can you tell me which heroes you are going to make into a movie?" ”
Steve didn't answer his question directly, but said humorously: "It's going to be until the day of the reception, when you personally ask our beautiful Shirley president." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Ke Zihua didn't ask any more, turned his head to Jerry and said, "Jerry, you know that I just came to the crew, and I don't know what arrangements the crew has, so I'll listen to you if I go or not." ”
Don't look at Ke Zihua's flat reaction on the surface, in fact, his heart has already churned: "Last year, Marvel turned the tide with "Blade", according to the situation in memory, they are going to shoot the two series of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", right? ”
"However, "X-Men" is released by Fox, and "Spider-Man" is released by Sony, and none of this has anything to do with Paramount, right?"
"It wasn't until '08 that they made "Iron Man" that it was released by Paramount, and it was only the first one."
Suddenly, Ke Zihua remembered that after the fire of "Iron Man", he seemed to have seen a rumor in a corner, "It is said that as early as 1999, Marvel had a plan to shoot Iron Man, but it was finally abandoned because it was difficult to realize." ”
Thinking of this, Ke Zihua suddenly became hot: "If I can really decide to shoot, it will make me pick up a big bargain, haha, the action director of "Iron Man" sounds like a mess!" ”
However, then Ke Zihua fell into distress, and he was absent-minded all night, thinking about this matter all night.
Now it seems that the rumors are basically true, Marvel does have plans to shoot "Iron Man" now, and it is indeed because it can't shoot it, and finally gave up the plan.
If he remembers correctly, Marvel should have found the great director Quentin at that time, and it was precisely because of his denial that the plan went bankrupt and was not restarted until nine years later.
After Ke Zihua confirmed their plan, he couldn't help but drum in his heart: "So, if I am asked to be an action director, can I shoot the effect of 08?" ”
You must know that the special effects at this time are much worse than those in 08, I'm afraid it really can't be realized, the effect in Ke Zihua's memory.
If nothing else, just a matter of armor is enough of a headache!
During the real shooting, Iron Man did not wear armor, but carried a complete set of sensors on the actor's body, recorded the actor's movements with the sensors, and finally used computer software to synthesize the armor.
I'm afraid this technology is not mature enough, right?
Even if you can barely solve the problem of wearing armor, the link of computer synthesis is not something that can be solved now.
It is said that this requires a lot of software to achieve the real effect, and the post-production zuò alone requires hundreds of special effects teams to produce the zuò, and it also needs to use a supercomputer to render!
Thinking of this, Ke Zihua couldn't help but let out a sigh, "Even if it is postponed for five years, I have enough to grip the shot to achieve the desired effect!" ”
The reality is that if you don't have enough ability, even if you know it's a great opportunity, you can only watch it slip through your fingers.
Even if Ke Zihua is unwilling, he has to admit that no matter who wants to film "Iron Man" now, it is almost impossible, it is just an unrealistic and crazy idea.
This conclusion is the same as Quentin's, in fact, if you really want to shoot hard, you can still shoot it, but that will greatly reduce the effect.
Without extremely realistic special effects, can "Iron Man" still be the classic Iron Man?
What's more, the current Iron Man-big-eyed Donnie, I'm afraid he is still in prison looking at the world outside the bars and crying, right?
Apart from him, Ke Zihua can't imagine who else can shape the image of Iron Man to the fullest.
Without Robert Downey Jr., can he still be that classic Iron Man?
In this way, Ke Zihua pondered about this matter while absentmindedly dealing with others, and unconsciously drank too much.
No matter what country you are in, no matter what kind of banquet you attend, there will always be cases of persuasion, especially since this dinner was originally held for Ke Zihua.
If he was sober enough, nothing like this would have happened, but he had been disturbed by the Iron Man affair, and he drank all the wine into his stomach in a daze, and it was strange not to get drunk.
Finally stayed up until the end of the dinner, Ke Zihua was carried to the set suite, and fell asleep on the sofa without even taking a shower.
