The expectations for superhero movies are actually quite pure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unbridled imagination and gorgeous action scenes are the reasons why audiences pay for tickets. If you add a logic that can basically mix the past, and the scene of exploding from beginning to end, everyone will enjoy watching it - such as the former "Avengers". If you can add a little philosophical thinking while the scene is exciting and the rhythm is gripping, you will get a masterpiece, such as the former "The Dark Knight".

Murphy thinks very clearly that he must avoid using a crude narrative like "The Avengers" to discuss a proposition as profound as "The Dark Knight" like the previous "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", and for audiences who want to see "The Dark Knight", "Dawn of Justice" cannot satisfy them in terms of depth of thought; For viewers who hope to see "The Avengers", the more than an hour before "Dawn of Justice" seems too long.

Also, since this film is the opening work that leads to the entire Justice League universe, it will inevitably involve other superheroes, especially Batman and Wonder Woman, who are also the Big Three of Justice.

Similarly, the use of a lot of obscure ways to add easter eggs to the plot in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is also a typical negative lesson.

A large number of cool shots and lines without beginning and ending were "randomly" assigned throughout that movie, and DC Comics fans would whistle excitedly at the beginning of the movie because Lukes Lesser knew Superman's identity, while ordinary viewers were confused; The various scenes that Bruce Wayne dreamed of, DC Comics fans will scream and point out to you that this is the foreshadowing of "Flashpoint", "Injustice", and "The Dark Knight Returns", and the big "Ω" on the ground is the supervillain Darkseid, and the general audience is confused; Seeing the collective appearance of the founders of the Justice League in the video, DC fans will burst into tears, "There is no Martian Manhunter but there is a steel bone, where did the green light go?" The general audience was confused; At the end of the movie, DC fans were full of expectations for "Justice League: War" because of Lex Luthor's "death knell warning", and ordinary audiences probably fled from the screening hall in a daze.

Only with the "common sense" of fans, who regard parallel universes and time travel as the basis for understanding the world of American comics, can it be possible to keep up with the strange narrative rhythm of this movie, and these well-designed bridges have become a tacit little secret between the director and other DC Comics fans, who are excited to whisper together and imagine the infinite possibilities that will continue to appear in the DC universe together, and the audience's confused expressions have become an excellent background for them to show off their knowledge and beliefs.

It is obvious that such easter eggs not only will not make the people with unknown backgrounds buy it, but also greatly increase their viewing obstacles, and when the story of the movie is so thin and the rhythm is so dull, for ordinary audiences, more than two hours are tantamount to a kind of torture.

Ordinary viewers who know little about DC comics almost unanimously believe that this is a bad movie, and this denial finally fermented into "disdain" under the show-off of a few brain-dead DC fans - "I have only heard that the audience picks the movie, but I have never heard of the movie picking the audience." ”

It is indeed unacceptable for a commercial genre film to be so harsh on the audience, and many fans said that they are willing to spend money to buy tickets even if they watch Batman play for two hours on the big screen.

Yes, Murphy believes that Superman also has such lovable fans, but also believes that DC and Warner know very well that such fans alone cannot resist the menacing Marvel and Avengers universe.

Relying on comic fans alone will never be able to support a film that has exploded beyond the deadline, and a typical market-oriented film like this, even if the style is unique, must take the initiative to adapt to the needs of the market.

In addition to completing the script for the new version of "Superman", Murphy also has to determine a general Justice League Cinematic Universe plan for DC Comics, which requires him, who is not a fan of comics, to take a look at and study the Justice League comics, including the Justice Triumvirate.

However, all the manga is only the basis of the adaptation, not the key.

Speaking of the Justice League, people are undoubtedly most impressed by the superman Clark Kent, Batman Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman Diana Prinz, the justice triumvirate, these people are far less famous than the members of the Avengers by the standards of the former Murphy.

The main reason for this is nothing more than that the superhero movies created by Marvel Studios with a popular route are more widely circulated and more acceptable to passers-by audiences other than fans.

But in terms of the history of the comics, to a certain extent, the Avengers are just a copy of the Justice League.

In 1960, DC Comics collected a bunch of its own heroes to form a team "Justice League", and Marvel Comics was inspired by this, and in 1963 it also launched its own hero team, "The Avengers", both of which brought together the top masters of their respective companies, the elite of the elite.

The significance of this is not only to allow Superman and Batman and other heroes to fight side by side, but also to ensure the overall continuity of the story produced by the same company within a certain range, and the events are not only in the story of one person, but all characters in the same world may be affected, which is the concept of "universe".

Warner Bros. and DC Comics wanted to bring "Justice League" to the screen, and Murphy needed to unify the superheroes under one worldview, which was quite difficult.

The unified universe presents a greater challenge for filmmaking, and it's not hard to do it with special effects - in a world where CG is becoming more omnipotent, it's not a problem to make superheroes with all kinds of magical abilities.

The problem is how to make the audience accept this universe where gods, aliens and humans coexist, and make their abilities roughly balanced, the setting of each movie cannot contradict each other, and the characters of the DC universe are more imaginative, and it is not easy to create a unified worldview.

The trajectory of the former Marvel film series is very clear: first shoot the stories of each character, and then shoot the hero team "The Avengers", so that the setting of each film is unified, and it also lays interconnected foreshadowing in each film, forming a unified world view, and then extending from this world view, step by step to put its other heroes on the screen.

At that time, DC did not have a clear strategic plan due to its late start, and although Christopher Nolan's "Batman" series was very successful, it only came out in three or four years, and the entire world view was self-contained, which was not as good as Marvel's step-by-step and full flowering.

Now it's different, DC and Marvel started almost at the same time, and they can take a step-by-step strategy, step by step to create their own cosmic films, accumulate audiences and markets, and finally assemble to fight for a general explosion.

This is undoubtedly the least risky and safest approach, and it is a major component of Murphy's plan.

Although the contract with Warner Bros. only clearly stipulates that directing the first film as the beginning of the series, and joining this series, Murphy has made no secret of the high pay, but since he takes this job, whether it is due to responsibility or fame, Murphy will try his best to make this new Superman film a success and make a good start for the entire series.

After the script entered the actual content writing stage, DC Comics' CEO Diego Harris moved into the Stanton studio with two editors to ensure that the two sides could communicate as soon as possible.

Murphy also understands the importance of communication to the success of a film, and is not so arrogant as to write and change it casually, and many drastic adaptations are carried out before the two parties sit together and negotiate calmly to achieve the most ideal result.

This communication also turned most of Murphy's adaptation into a tangible plan on paper, and in this reboot, many of Superman's classic settings will be boldly subverted, and new elements and visual aesthetics will breathe new life into the veteran superhero.

The first is the change of Superman's image, Murphy will remove the red underwear that he will always wear outside, Superman's original bright blue combat suit will also change to black and blue, and the sky when he appears will no longer be blue, but cloudy.

This setting is just one of the details that Murphy has made to create a realistic Superman, this time Superman's outfit can be called "the least glamorous in history", when communicating with Diego Harris, he made it clear that the audience can see Superman's heart this time, he is no longer a god that everyone looks up to, the audience is going on adventures with him, and the costume is his externalized expression.

In addition, Murphy also drew several concept drawings in conjunction with the script, and since the theme of the film itself tends to be dark, the use of dark black is an inevitable result, which is also his style all along.

Of course, Murphy also knows that this dark style has both advantages and disadvantages for the film, the picture style is not bright and bright, and the corresponding narrative style is more serious, the work will show a sense of pathos and solemnity, which is very different from the light-hearted and humorous style of other popcorn films, and will inevitably lose a group of audiences.

But the "Superman" series has been brought into a dead end by "Superman Returns", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is about to completely rot, and if a huge earth-shaking change is not carried out, the movies in this series may only have one ending of failure.

Therefore, Murphy knows better that the use of this dark tone will also give superhero movies a completely different vitality, Superman's suit is darkened, and the underwear is no longer worn outside, making the rebooted version of Superman more combative and complex, and can wash away the blandness of "Superman Returns" directed by Brian Singh.

Last but not least, Murphy officially offered to bring Wonder Woman Gal Gadot into the film. (To be continued.) )
