Chapter 428: Liar
"No, no, to be honest, I think it's really good at the moment. 'Le 'Wen' Novel 'www'lwXs520'com'
When the paparazzi were exposed to the scorching sun, the air-conditioned studio even made people have the urge to put on a coat, and Jenny, who had lunch, did not return to her trailer to rest or mess around like the rest of the actors, and she was still wearing a uniform She has returned to the editing room, and together with Kevin and Jos, she reviewed the finished products cut out of "The Avengers" so far, and she has always had a lot of opinions and dared to confront the director and the rest of the producers, but this time she completely changed her style, A mouth full of praise almost all made Kevin. Faigie was a little uncomfortable - he had the impression that Jennifer had always been not synonymous with easy-going.
"Are you sure?" He pointed to the still picture with some anxiety and said, "You really don't have much of an opinion on this rough cut?" ”
"The Avengers" has been filmed last year, and most of the filming schedule coincides with Jenny's "Life Journey", however, the reshoots currently underway are not all Jenny's scenes, and after signing a contract with Sony, the two sides will join forces to develop "The Amazing Spider-Man" and add content. Garfield has quietly joined the group a few days ago, and it is indeed very difficult to keep this secret before the many paparazzi attracted by Jenny, which staged a good show, wits and courage, thrilling, no less than a wonderful spy war scene, for this reason, there is also a scene that was completely placed in the studio - after signing the contract to decide to develop together, Sony is quite generous, and even promised to let Andrew show his face at the end of the film, of course, in exchange, the heroes of the Avengers will also appear in "The Amazing Spider-Man" made a cameo in the plot.
Since Shero and Spider-Man don't have many scenes in the film after all, they only belong to cameos, so now in fact, the rough cut has been approximately completed, and it is enough to add reshoots in the later stage. Jenny was also using this time to fulfill her duties as a producer, and Kevin even moved his office to a nearby location - they were quite suspicious of Joss's rough cut, and they were using Jenny's advice with some of their own problems.
"I understand your concern, Kevin, yes, there isn't much drama in this rough cut, and the pacing doesn't follow the tradition very much, and the characters are portrayed-" Jenny waved at the screen, and Kevin nodded in agreement, "It's not that detailed, so to speak, if you haven't seen the first few movies, then you may be a little confused about the drama of this film from beginning to end." ”
"yes, that's exactly one of the things we're facing, and the fact is, if you were to assign some growth drama to everybody, the length of the film would probably go straight to three hours, and now this 130-minute cut is pretty impressive in terms of length, but you still think the movie is ...... It's not a lot of ups and downs, if you know what I mean, it's more like a couple of heroes coming together, fighting a fight, and everybody having a handsome solo show, putting some plot on top of those solo shows-" Jos's brow was also tightened, and it seemed that he didn't like the version himself very much, and just barely edited it as Kevin had requested. "It's hard to say whether the audience will buy a finished product like this."
Although Joss and Kevin's confusion is very sincere, and the difficulty and pain in the trade-off can be seen, Jenny is not affected at all, and she can certainly answer their question with great confidence, because Jos's current rough cut version is not much different from the final release version - it can be inferred that in the end, Kevin and others still think that instead of prolonging the time and increasing the drama, it is better to sacrifice the sense of rhythm and give the scene to the special effects fights and the handsome shots of the heroes, and this choice is right or wrong? The box office and word-of-mouth speak for themselves, and Kevin and others won the bet in the end. And what she needs to do now is to alleviate their hesitation in choosing and vote for her confidence.
"I think the audience will buy it – in fact, it's the only way to make a group film like this, so we don't really have any more options." What she said was actually Jenny's interpretation of Kevin and Jos's thoughts after she was in the industry, "From the plot point of view, it should be Iron Man who is affected by the personality of this incident, he is the one who is affected by aliens and has a growing sense of inner insecurity, which is also an important clue throughout "Iron Man 3", so emotionally, you can think of Tony as the protagonist of this movie, because for the rest of the people, the Avengers, aliens, this is just part of the job, Their outlook on life has not been shaken by this. - But the impact of this incident, and the subsequent growth, was arranged in "Iron Man 3" in the planning, so in "The Avengers", let anyone have personal frustrations - growth will disrupt the rhythm and focus of the movie, and the only drama can only be placed on the team run-in, and this almost eliminates the possibility of the existence of all literary dramas - it's hard to imagine them solving problems through debate, right? For a first-time, grumpy team. ”
"But there's still a problem with the current editing - there's not much to say about the Big Three, they all have their own prequel films, and the personalities are already clear, but for Hawkeye, Black Widow and Hulk, their past is still defined by the comics, and the film image is blurred and labeled," Joss frowned, "and if the problem is not solved in the first part, it will have to be pushed to the second part - and at that point, the problem will become very tricky." Because the second phase of Marvel will still have movies of the Big Three, their growth will be clearer, which will make the Hawkeye trio even more marginalized-"
"This can be solved by the interaction of a single-player film, a movie with a six-player protagonist, all the contradictions should still revolve around the team," Jenny said categorically, "so keep the current line of thinking, edit in the context of the formation of the team - discrete - the first bridge, don't be afraid that the audience will not understand the side dialogue related to the previous work, this will boost DVD sales, believe me, if they like the movie, they will not care if they don't understand it, but are happy that there are so many movies to explore." ”
"Okay." Kevin seemed to be convinced, "So, about the love scene, is it still the same as "Codename Shero", never dealt with?" ”
"I think what the audience wants to see in this kind of movie are creative and energetic fight scenes, especially the kind of cool and cool big scenes, such as that five-minute long take? It's just gorgeous - I'm not afraid to tell you, Jos, the reason why I nodded and let Shero join the Avengers is because I wanted her to appear in such a big scene with so many people and flashies......"
Joss looked almost a little proud - he said reservedly, "We can think about it in Avengers 2." ”
"Of course we have to arrange!" Kevin exclaimed instead - now his attitude towards Jenny has become very affectionate, "This is exactly what Shero is all about joining Marvel - a strong combination!" ”
It can be seen from his expression that although Kevin is also a comic book fundamentalist, he will also open up when the time is right, such as now, he is extremely enthusiastic about the addition of Shero......
“…… Therefore, everything will come to an end in the second half of the year, and the filming schedule of "Iron Man 3" ......"
After filming the afternoon scenes in the studio, the discussion continued until nightfall, when Kevin and Jenny walked out of the studio together, leaving Joss to continue sorting out the footage in preparation for tomorrow's shoot. They talked about the strategic layout after that, "If everything goes well, "Captain America 2" and "Thor 2" will also be launched one after another......"
"The most important thing is the script, and I don't want to see a situation where the director doesn't get the script on the eve of filming......," Jenny accentuated, "This kind of internal bureaucracy is very dangerous, Kevin, and it will ruin the core of the film - a story that at least makes sense...... Also, Kenneth. Of course Branagh is out, I love Kenneth, but he's really not a good fit for a superhero movie like this, and if you asked me, I'd say at the beginning - you guys weren't very wise about the director choices for Captain America 1 and Thor 1......"
"If you had made 'Codename Shero' at that time, I promise I'd be obedient." Kevin replied with some humor, "Oh, be careful—"
He tugged Jenny to avoid a puff of condensation above her head, and Jenny said, "Well, if Bob hadn't convinced me to join the Avengers—"
She didn't finish her sentence when she was interrupted by the flashing lights in the passage next to her—Jenny almost instinctively broke free of Kevin's hand, realizing that she still had a faint smile on her face, and what that scene would look like in the photo—she scolded softly, and amplified her voice, "Who's there?" Come out - Woody, Woody - "
The team of bodyguards, who had almost never left for several years, had already rushed over from the other end of the aisle, and Jenny comforted Kevin, who was still a little confused, "I'm sorry, I should have come to shoot my paparazzi", while another bodyguard on duty got into the corner, and after a while, he came over with a paparazzi by the arm.
"Give me the camera." He said in a gruff voice, clearly unhappy with his mistakes, "This is private territory, you crossed the line." ”
"Also, I'm next to Kevin, not a star." Jenny said—seeing the look on the other person's face, she added, "He's the president of Marvel Studios...... Are you new to the industry? ”
"I'm a reporter for the Daily Mirror." The paparazzi said in a thick London accent, and he shook off the bodyguard and preempted Jenny and said, "Don't try to buy me off - I got a good picture and I know it will give me a powerful report, I'm British, and the lawsuit here is not binding on me." ”
Woody let out a suppressed roar as he stepped forward and touched his fists suggestively, but Jenny stopped him.
"Interesting." She looked at the paparazzi and thought he was a little special, "You're emphasizing your strengths, so you still want to make a deal?" ”
The paparazzi swallowed his saliva, and it was obvious that Woody was making him nervous, but he was trying to encourage himself not to be defeated by fear.
"Yes," he said, pulling out the camera's memory card, "I want to ask you a question - if you can answer me, it's yours, if not...... I'm going to sue your bodyguard for personal injury, you know, there's always going to be some physical contact when he's getting the memory card. ”
Jenny narrowed her eyes and looked at the memory card—she was genuinely interested now.
"It's not enough," she said, "and your phone is going to be checked by Woody — you might as well talk about your problem, and if it can be resolved peacefully, let's keep a low profile, okay?" ”
"Okay, I know what you're thinking - but it's not about your divorce." The paparazzi said that he picked up his phone and handed it to Woody - and at this moment, his expression changed, like a mask shattered on a corner of his face, and a vivid expression mixed with hope and fear was revealed from this corner, making him look extraordinarily sincere at this moment. "You remember Shef. Cohen -- he's my friend. ”
Jenny's breathing paused.
"He's gone — if you don't know, after he's been charged with wiretapping." The paparazzi were carefully observing her expression, his suspicion spreading along with the smell of sweat on his body, so thick that it was hard to ignore. "It's weird, because Sheff hasn't heard from him for four years, and even after the limelight has passed — you know, it's not like him."
Thanks to Cesare's years of training, Jeanne was sure that she hadn't shown the slightest flaw, and she snorted, showing that she had no interest in the matter, "So? ”
"I know - the eavesdropping incident has caused you a lot of trouble," the paparazzi's suspicions seemed to lessen, but he still didn't give up, but smacked his lips and made a final effort, "I wonder if you're - did you - let someone teach him a lesson......"
"In a way that makes him disappear?" Jenny asked rhetorically, making sure her tone was so unbelievable, "Who do you think I am?" Edgar. Hoover? cia? ”
Woody, who was usually a man of few words, let out a low laugh, "Geez! You Brits—what do you think we're doing, Jennifer's thugs? ”
"Uh-" Even Kevin, who had been unable to speak, laughed, which greatly shook the paparazzi's confidence, and he took a step back, "Uh-"
Jenny motioned for Woody to take the camera away, "I can assure you that his disappearance has nothing to do with me. ”
She said indifferently, "This is private territory, you can't come in, the next time I see you, I'll call the police - tomorrow with your passport to find Woody to get your phone and camera, now you can go back the way you came." ”
Escorted by two bodyguards and Kevin, the paparazzi took a few steps back and finally trotted into the darkness, Kevin shook his head, "Security on the set must be strengthened - think about it, if they get that person......"
"yes, that's a priority." Jenny pressed all her thoughts and walked back with Kevin, staring at the darkness in the passage and suddenly asked. "James—was he alone there when you chased him over just now?"
"Yes, there are no accomplices." James said. "Is there something wrong, J.J?"
"It'......s nothing," said Jenny, "but I feel like someone else is looking at me—"
She shook her head and quickened her pace. "Big news about that person......
