856 Overthrow and rebuild
Hulk Bruce Banner is a character worth digging and focusing on, whether it is the eighties or the twenty-first century, when Marvel Entertainment conceives the big screen strategy of movies, the Hulk is the first echelon of the object to consider, and it can even be said to be the first choice, better than Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.

But everyone is puzzled as to why the Hulk series of movies all failed, without exception. Until Lance was reborn, Hollywood did not find an accurate answer, and the reboot plan of the Hulk one-man movie was always in the "negotiation" stage and was not on the agenda.
Now, Lance has to face this "unknown puzzle" that has not been solved for 20 years.
In Lance's view, it is actually a problem with the script, one is the framework of the script, and the other is the main line of the script.
From the perspective of the script framework, commercial films all follow a certain routine, setting up a main line, one to two branch lines, and structuring according to a three-stage framework, with two to three turns, two small and one large, and the script duration is controlled within 100 to 130 minutes. This is true of almost all genre movie scripts that have been successful.
The reason why Ang Lee's version of "Hulk" failed miserably was because it broke away from such a framework and wrote it from the perspective of the tragic story of the heroes of the ancient Greek epic, creating the most unique superhero in the history of cinema, but the desperate attempt suffered an avalanche of fiascos in the summer file.
From the perspective of the main line of the script, superhero movies also have a certain pattern, gaining ability, opening eyes, encountering evil, waking up, punishing evil and promoting good, and the ultimate showdown. There is still a sense of justice throughout, but the way it is expressed is slightly different, and works such as "Iron Man", "Captain America 2", and "The Avengers" that have achieved a win-win situation at the box office and word of mouth all follow this main line.
Louis Leterrille's version of "The Incredible Hulk" follows the framework of genre films, but the main line of the script seems vague, not only losing the soul that makes the audience's blood boil, but also making the character of Bruce Banner full of depth completely incomprehensible.
Both "Hulk" and "The Incredible Hulk" failed, but there's no denying that both works have their own merits.
Ang Lee's excavation of the role of the Hulk, from childhood shadows to nightmares, from disaster turns to tragedy emerges, revolves around the fateful entanglement between Banner and his son, presenting a tragedy of fate, although the movie failed, but it achieved the most unique superhero image of the Hulk Louis is not experienced as a director, but he filmed the "Death Express" series, the rhythm control of genre movies is commendable, and the whimsy left a lot of impressions, In particular, creating an atmosphere where the Hulk alone confronts the whole world can be said to be a necessary element in genre movies.
If you can mix the advantages of these two works in the previous life, it will inevitably create an excellent work, and it may even surpass "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" as the best superhero movie in history. However, if the adaptation was really that easy, the Hulk project would not have been silent for so long.
Now, Lance has the opportunity to follow the idea of creating "The Incredible Hulk".
In the previous life, the script for "The Incredible Hulk" was written by Zach Payne Kenn. If you simply browse Zack's resume, many people will be surprised, "Men 2", "Men 3", and "The Avengers" are all works, so why did you write such a paste-like script as "The Incredible Hulk" and what is the reason for the abnormal performance
But if you look through Zack's collection carefully, it is not difficult to find that "Men of War 2" and "The Avengers", two works with excellent reputation and outstanding box office, are responsible for writing the story synopsis, while "Men of Arms 3", the lowest work in the series and encountering countless bad reviews, is responsible for writing the script dialogue "The Incredible Hulk" belongs to the latter.
In other words, Zack's ability to conceive the story and think about the main line is worthy of recognition, but there are serious shortcomings in the specific implementation. The "Incredible Hulk" is a typical example.
"The Incredible Hulk" tells the story of Bruce Banner after he has been transformed, in order to avoid hurting his lover Betty, and in order to avoid being captured by the military, he escaped to Bahide himself, on the one hand, looking for a way to control his emotions, and on the other hand, looking for a way to scientifically eliminate Hulk from his body. But it backfired, and it was discovered. The U.S. side wants to copy Hulk's genes and batch war machines, but Bruce doesn't want to see war, let alone see science achieve some people's ambitions, so he can only keep fleeing.
The main line of the story is very vague, the first half is Bruce trying to kill the Hulk inside him and get his life back on track, and the second half is Bruce deciding to use the Hulk against the villain War Maniac. There is a lack of cohesion and transformation between the two main lines, and the plot becomes weak and empty, which is not only unconvincing, but also incomprehensible to the audience.
For example, at the beginning, Bruce and Betty's father, General Brown, were in full swing, and then the two suddenly teamed up, teaming up to try to eliminate the villain, and even the military who fought to the death stood behind the Hulk.
For another example, the villain of the war maniac has almost no description, just the persistence and madness outlined, and in the absence of foreshadowing, he suddenly wants to gain more power to destroy the world, so that the main line in the second half seems inexplicable.
For another example, Bruce has been trying to destroy the Hulk, but finally decided to accept it, without the support of the plot, the audience is in a fog.
Not to mention the heroine Betty, logically speaking, in the story, she should be the only reason why the Hulk was able to calm down, but first, the love between the two lacks foreshadowing, and suddenly becomes each other's only support, dead or alive Second, Betty almost did not play any role in the promotion of the plot, but kept shouting "Bruce", completely reduced to a vase, which did not help the plot change.
To summarize simply, when Zach conceived the story, the idea was undoubtedly good, but he was in big trouble in the execution stage, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all, resulting in the story becoming a mess, and after watching the movie, the audience didn't know what the core idea of the movie was at all, and even the hero of the Hulk only had a vague shadow, and in the end only part of the bombardment was left To be honest, such a bombardment was not as exciting as Michael Bay, Moreover, director Louis is still too childish in his conception of the battlefield scene, and he does not have the spirit of pioneering and innovation, which makes the visual effects unsatisfactory. The failure of the film, which is also predictable.
Lance decided to completely overturn and rebuild the entire script of "The Incredible Hulk", but the story framework can be used as a reference.
The core idea should be Bruce Banner's awakening, from the beginning, Bruce decided to kill Hulk, completely heal himself, and regain his normal life, but Betty believes that Bruce can control Hulk, not kill, because when Bruce transforms into Hulk, "I can feel your existence" In the finale, incarnate as a hated war maniac and begin to destroy New York City, with Betty's encouragement, Bruce took the initiative to incarnate as Hulk, trying to regain his senses, fight against hatred, and save the world.
This is the main line of the whole movie, which is similar to "Iron Man", around which all the plots will be reset.
In the opening chapter, Bruce Banner makes a mistake during the experiment, transforms into the Hulk for the first time, destroys the laboratory, and almost kills his girlfriend Betty. On the one hand, "The Incredible Hulk" cannot be strictly regarded as a sequel to "Hulk", Lance hopes to explain the ins and outs in a short space, which can be regarded as a condensation of Ang Lee's work.
Then into the Brazilian part, you can slow down the pace and counter the extreme chaos of the opening chapter with extreme calm. Then came the appearance of the War Maniac.
In this section, Betty's father, General Rose, and Brosky, who later became hated, will be the most important. First, the triangular relationship between Betty, Ross and Bruce, Lance thinks that it is simple to deal with, remove the abrupt transformation of Ross in the previous life "The Incredible Hulk", and truly build Ross into a cold-blooded and ruthless war machine, and even family affection can be sacrificed, this pathos of fate can even be extended to the sequel work, making Ross the ultimate villain behind the scenes, for example, trying to produce more Hulk, conducting many experiments, even if the human body explodes, he is unwilling to give up, and later even under Browski's initiative, Try again with Brockski as a test subject. This will increase the drama of the plot, Betty's character will be more three-dimensional, and most importantly, the main line will become clear in this work.
Second, Browski has to increase the scene, and in the process of Browski's constant hunt for blues, the memory flashbacks can be increased, and there is no need to ink too much, only the frenzy of killing needs to be emphasized, and every war in the past thirty years has been actively involved, constantly seeking excitement, seeking opponents, and thirsting for killing can be set as having just left the battlefield in Iraq, transforming into a mercenary, and performing all the killer missions. So, seeing the great power of the Hulk, Browski had a desire to have this power, frantically wanted to have this power, and seized all possibilities regardless of it, and finally became a test subject for General Ross, and became a hate.
The frenzy of war and human introspection will be at the heart of this section, which is why Bruce is finally willing to try to control the Hulk in his body, not only to save New York City, but also to regain peace. To be continued. ,
