Under the operation of CAA and Bill Rothes, Gal Gadot soon started his own personal blog, and uploaded some fitness photos from time to time, telling everyone that she was working hard for the role of Wonder Woman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, as Gal Gadot said, in addition to fitness, she also does a lot of training in fighting, boxing, fencing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other sports, Wonder Woman is not Superman after all, although the fight is basically based on a straight show of strength and speed, but the characteristics of the female god of war also determine that a certain skill is required.

For the two actors, Gal Gadot and Chris Evans, the most pressing task is fitness and training.

After the final draft of the script and the storyboard were decided, the special effects production of "Man of Steel" had already started before filming, and in order to cooperate with the time-consuming and labor-intensive special effects production, Murphy would also shoot the action scenes first after completing a few shots to cooperate with the promotion.

Unlike the previous shoots, this film will use more than 2,500 special effects shots, and all the special effects shots involved in Murphy planned to build a green screen in the studio to complete, and as for the final boss, he also found the Russian actor who played the original Colossus to shoot and produce in a motion capture way.

During the long preparation period, in addition to all kinds of busy work, Murphy will also let people jump out from time to time and reveal some news to the outside world to maintain the topicality of "Man of Steel".

For example, in mid-October, Chris Evans spat on the media in an interview, "I work out for two hours a day, and it's brutal. I usually like to work out, but this time it was different, I practiced until I felt like I was going to throw up, I felt like I hated the coach, I hated the movie, I wanted to go home and sleep for a week. This is really cold-blooded and ruthless, my metabolism is fast, and I lose weight quickly, so as long as I eat it, I will quickly gain weight again. ”

He also added, "It's disgusting to practice, it's even more disgusting to eat, and I've gotten to the point where I can't even look at fried chicken, and I'm going to get swollen from practice, but at the same time I have to keep consuming protein, which is a real dilemma." ”

Although this is for publicity purposes, it is not an exaggeration at all, and Chris Evans has put in a huge effort to be competent for the role of Superman.

Correspondingly, Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, will not be easier than him.

She has a very high metabolism, which makes it difficult for her to maintain her weight, and she has to increase her food intake, especially high protein, she trains for about two hours at a time, focusing on only two muscle groups, by increasing the amount of exercise, at a faster pace, from every possible angle, constantly stimulating her muscles until she reaches the fitness goal she has set.

By early November, Gal Gadot had successfully gained fifteen pounds of muscle.

Two weeks later, Murphy led the crew out of Los Angeles to the location of San Jose, which had already been inspected, and after a long and hectic preparation, "Man of Steel" officially began filming.

On an ordinary Monday morning, just after dawn, dozens of trailers and trucks drove to the outskirts of a small town, and under Murphy's command, began intense preparations for the shoot.

Since a lot of the work was done yesterday, it's now more about setting up the lights and adjusting the camera positions.

While waiting for Filip Raschel to adjust the camera, Murphy asked Gal Gadot, who was standing behind him, "Is the reporter contacted by Warner Bros. here?" ”

Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "I'm on my way over, I'll be there soon, no more than five minutes." ”

Now she looks a little plumper and a little stronger than her previous bony slenderness, not so thin, and the added muscles make her more shapely.

In addition to playing Wonder Woman with a cameo appearance, Gal Gadot is more of an assistant producer, and she has fully recognized Murphy's words, and specially asked for an internship leave from school to study in the crew.

Just like Murphy struggled with his beginnings, there is often a big difference between learning and practice.

"Let Ghent coordinate with the reporters." Murphy explained carefully, "I have to wait until I finish shooting the first one, and then let the reporter in to take pictures." ”

The crew's preparations were still ongoing, Murphy continued to be busy, and not far from the periphery, some reporters had already gotten out of the car.

Seeing the busy set ahead, Herstein raised his camera and wanted to shoot, but a staff member stopped him.

"I'm sorry, sir." The staff was quite polite, "The crew is about to start filming, and there will be a unified media photo time." ”

In this regard, Hollywood and the media have always had a silent tacit understanding, and Herstein did not insist, putting down his finger pressed on the shutter.

After waiting for less than a minute, his eyes suddenly tightened as he looked at the set, and Chris Evans, dressed in a blue tights, appeared in front of the camera lens, as if communicating something with director Murphy Stanton.

Almost as soon as he saw Chris Evans, Herstein realized that he could get the big news today!

The filming of the crew was very simple, just two shots of Superman walking, and the shooting was completed quickly, and after the assistant director came to inform, all the reporters, including Herstein, flocked to the set like a swarm, and they could all realize that there would inevitably be a series of arguments around the new Superman on the set.

All the camera lenses were aimed at Chris Evans, who was still on the set, as if they were aimed at Hollywood's super-A-class star.

The sound of camera shutters was continuous, and many reporters only filmed Chris Evans dressed as Superman, and didn't care about anything else, hurried out of the set, rushed to their respective cars, took out their notebooks, and passed the pictures and typed text to the screenwriting department as quickly as possible.

In this day and age, the timeliness of news is more important than ever.

Just half an hour later, the most prominent position on IMDB's homepage was the latest report on "Man of Steel".

"Superman's classic style has changed dramatically, and the new scene photos of "Man of Steel" reveal explosive news!"

To the right of the title, there is a picture of Chris Evans' new Superman look.

"IMDB News: "Man of Steel", which is being filmed in the suburbs of San Jose, California, has recently exposed a set of set photos, unlike the previous inconsequential pictures, the protagonist of this leaked photo is Superman himself, and what is even more shocking is that it revealed to us a very explosive news - the new version of Superman will say goodbye to the iconic red underwear!"

"Previously, whether it was the official stills or the exposed shooting set photos, due to factors such as dark light and distance, we did not find a major difference between the old and new Superman costumes, but today's close-up allows us to finally see the huge secret, Superman's iconic red panties are gone! Being able to use such a different outfit from the classic comic book style can't help but make us deeply admire the courage of director Murphy Stanton. ”

"In addition to the red pants, we also found some other variations of Superman's look, with the costume opting for a similar scaly texture that not only fits the body, but also accentuates the sculpted body of actor Chris Evans; In addition, on Superman's waist, we also found an ornament resembling a belt loop, which is unclear if this was used for another purpose or just as a decoration; But then again, such a subversive shape, coupled with the disappearing curls on the forehead and the enlargement of the S logo on the chest, can't help but make us wonder, is this still the Superman we are familiar with? ”

Superman's appearance is not a change, it can be said to be a drastic change.

There is no doubt that these are all for the promotion and marketing of "Man of Steel", since the preparation entered the later stage, Murphy no longer bothered about publicity and marketing, but handed over all the energy to Warner Bros. to shoot and produce, even if it is related to filming, it is also in line with Warner Bros. publicity plan.

After the news broke that Superman's classic look had changed dramatically, Warner Bros. also handed over a survey data to Murphy, most people were not disgusted with Superman's new look, and quite a few Superman fans still had expectations.

There are also people who lash out, and this is unavoidable.

Of course, more people are more interested in the storyline of "Man of Steel", the past five Superman movies have modeled Superman's story, even Brian Singer's "Superman Returns" is just old wine in a new bottle, except for the use of new technology, that movie is not fundamentally different from Christopher Reeve's Superman series.

As long as a superhero movie like this is in a specific setting, there are no big problems in logic and no technical problems, even if the story has some flaws, the audience will generally have a good evaluation.

"Is Superman Return really that bad?"

On the plane to Alaska, Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "You also think it's very bad?" ”

"It's worse than I thought." Murphy shrugged, "So I'm going to avoid the mistakes made in Superman Returns." ”

Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, not quite understanding what he meant.

This is his closest person, Murphy speaks without concealing it, "The movie "Superman Returns", I can only say that a gay director is filming his own 'male god', every shot is looking up, and every shot is a delicate close-up. In addition to keeping up with the times in terms of special effects, in fact, it is still a reproduction of the old version of "Superman" in his bones, Brian Singer has completed a self-satisfaction, but it has made the Superman series of movies face a more severe situation. ”

Then again, in some ways, he also has to thank Brian Singer for the failure of Superman Returns, and he wouldn't have the super high treatment he has now.

The plane landed in Juno, the capital of Alaska, and Murphy led the crew to the snowfields of the Far North to prepare for the filming of Wonder Woman vs. Superman. (To be continued.) )
