Although the script has long been completed, Duke is still making some changes in the entire preliminary preparations, after all, under his influence, the entire Marvel series has undergone some changes, the most typical of which is Scarlett? Johnson's Black Widow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Natasha? Normanoff's role and role in the entire Avengers organization have been aggravated, and correspondingly, in the finished film of "The Avengers", her role will also be one of the most people.

However, Duke's length of the film is only about 130 minutes, and Scarlett's role is heavy, which means that other people's scenes will be reduced.

Even if Duke, as a director, can reduce a lot of unnecessary controversy for actors, but this kind of key aspect involving their own interests, whether it is the actors themselves or their agents, will inevitably strive for it.

uses reasonable and legal means to fight for the interests he deserves, even Duke, the director, can't say anything.

Robert Jr.? Downey once approached Duke and said to him privately, "The film must open with me, Duke, shouldn't Tony take the lead?" ”

Although it is not explicitly stated, Robert Jr.? Downey's meaning is obvious, he wants Duke to revise the opening scene of the film in the script.

But Duke refused without hesitation, but he also comforted little Robert? Downey, "Iron Man will always be 'Iron Man', he will still 'mess around' and make all kinds of trouble, this will not change. ”

As long as the actors are like Robert Jr.? Downey wouldn't mind using a means that Duke could accept, and although it was impossible to make changes because of this, he would also show a similar attitude to everything.

In Duke's planning, Iron Man is naturally the most important character in the film, followed by Captain America and Black Widow. Thor and Hulk are mainly used in battle scenes, and Hawkeye is basically playing soy sauce.

Iron Man's role is easy to say, even if Duke is not good at funny lines. There will also be a dedicated screenwriter who will be responsible for writing.

How to build on the already existing script, embody the importance of Captain America and Black Widow in the entire Avengers. It's something Duke has been considering.

The role of Black Widow has changed dramatically from the movies that used to be.

is different from the previous Marvel series, in the movie "Captain America", Marvel introduced the origin and background of the character Black Widow in detail.

Natasha? Born in 1928, Romanov was raised by a Soviet soldier after both her parents were killed in a fire.

At the age of two, she was targeted by Soviet intelligence and during World War II she was part of the Black Widow program, a human modification program for female orphans with potential for development. The chosen orphan girls are trained in combat and genetically modified in secret bases to make them look younger than their real age.

She disguised her true career as a ballet dancer on weekdays, and married under the arrangement of the Soviet government, and then due to her husband's fake death, Natasha was kept in the dark and had to return to the organization to continue her studies in grief, and eventually became a chilling black widow.

In a way, Duke is very biased, but he is biased towards Scarlett? Johnson's character, that's normal.

In Duke's alterations, as a female superhero. The gender characteristics of "Black Widow" will be infinitely diluted in the film.

Although from time to time there will be scenes of her relying on her female identity to obtain some work convenience, as an inherent member of the "Avengers", her perseverance and performance will prevail over gender itself. It's hard to realize that the figure who works and fights with "the best men on the planet" is of the opposite sex.

And this can be regarded as the standard value of equality between men and women to some extent, she has never been a vassal of someone, or such an identity as a "girlfriend".

Even the only ones who are saved are out of mutual help between partners rather than plot promoters.

Captain America can be said to be the focus of Marvel's next phase of plans, and really when it comes to popularity, Steve? Is Rodgers second only to Tony in the six? Stark, who is not only a key figure in the existence of the Avengers, but also the core that can unite the other members.

Important: His popularity in the North American market is unquestionable.

From the very beginning, Captain America has been a well-deserved symbol of the American spirit - a sense of justice, a sense of mission, and a sense of morality. Firm values and outlook on life.

But it is precisely because of this perfection that Captain America is extremely lonely. The "divinity" in his body is too strong, almost overpowering the existence of "human nature", and he reawakens after 70 years of ice, facing everything that is right and wrong, such loneliness and loss, can shake almost everyone.

Loneliness, fear of communication with the crowd is an inevitable reaction after living in isolation, but Captain America will only struggle silently and quietly, finding his responsibility and belonging in the new world.

His pain is as silent as his loneliness, it is the existence of the "Avengers" team that gives him a new life, after confusion and loneliness, Captain America will reposition his own value, complete the process of returning from the "superego" to the "ego", he does not blindly follow or lose trust in people, and the leadership temperament will be fully reflected in Duke's setting.

Compared to Captain America, the Hulk is also lonely, but his choice is not to blend in with the crowd, but to stay away from the crowd, his loneliness comes from the over-inflated "id", and his own "superego" is painful and struggling with the overwhelming superiority of the reckless "id", which forms an extremely contradictory and devastating Hulk.

Although Bruce? Banner is usually a well-mannered doctor, but his heart is always roaring angry Hulk, in the tug of war between reason and instinct, the Hulk is in such an angry and painful situation all the year round, and this incomprehensible loneliness also makes it difficult for him to truly see himself as a human being, he has been swaying in the link of self-knowledge, and his doubts and divisions about self make the Hulk more dangerous.

However, Duke will not pay too much attention to the Hulk, he will only be the fist of the Avengers.

In September 2011, Duke's previous film "Gravity" finally withdrew from both the North American market and all overseas film markets after a long screening, and in the nearly ten months of screening, the film experienced both a period of box office surge and a lack of interest in the later period.

But the final box office of the film is still amazing.

In the end, "Gravity" ended its theatrical journey with $371.26 million in North America and $868.94 million worldwide.

Although the box office has just been able to recover its costs due to the high investment in the film's production costs, publicity and distribution costs, and Oscar public relations, it is not difficult to achieve large-scale profits with peripheral copyrights.

Compared with "Gravity", which has increased its cost sharply due to time constraints, the total investment of "The Avengers" is much lower.

The total production cost of the film was finally set at 200 million US dollars, of which in addition to the terrible expenditure of actors' salaries, the largest investment is still special effects production, and Industrial Light & Magic, which only became Duke's asset in the first half of the year, naturally undertook the special effects production of this film.

In addition to several special effects teams in San Francisco, ILM's subsidiaries in India, London and Singapore will also be responsible for much of the film's rendering.

When Duke was preparing the film, many CG shots of the scene had been fully determined, and ILM had already started modeling and production.

For example, the full CG environmental shot of the Helicarrier was put on the agenda by Industrial Light and Magic early.

In order to be able to create complex CG special effects shots, they created a lot of large green screen sequences, which will provide convenience and flexibility for the rendering performance of the shots.

The CG about the Helicarrier alone will use nearly 130 special effects shots.

The shots were divided into night and day, and Duke asked for the finished shot to show two different scenes, one of which was the rear of the Helicarrier visible as it flew through the clouds.

For this shot, ILM added an extension of the hull and created a number of visual effects, including clouds, skylines, exterior hulls, and foyers, all of which are double-layered against a digital background.

These were quite challenging, and ILM preferred to build the huge Helicarrier according to Duke's requirements, and the Helicarrier looked completely different in both environments, day and night......

In mid-September, Marvel Studios CEO Kevin? Feige gave an exclusive interview, and in the interview, he revealed the latest developments of the "Avengers" crew.

"Yes, The Avengers is on!"

Then, pointing to the huge poster of the Avengers hanging on the wall of his office, he told reporters, "And I want to repeat, look at these actors, look at these protagonists, it's like a rock concert, it's unbelievable." ”

Kevin? "In San Diego, when they walk on stage together, you see these fascinating actors on stage together, and if you don't feel a chill down your spine, then you must have no pulse, and basically, you can put yourself in a coffin and go back home." ”

"Now, Duke? Director Rosenberg was directing on set, I read his script, it was amazing, I saw what was going to be done, I saw all the designs, and then they didn't belong in this world, and Avengers was going to be a superhero movie at its finest. I'm hesitant to say more, but we're very, very excited about it. ”

Like Kevin? As Feige said, in the studio at Warner Studios, Duke had already kicked off the shoot. (To be continued.) )
