The scene in New York's Central Park is the last scene filmed by the crew, and it is also the only shot in New York in the entire filming of Duke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the day the project was established, Warner Bros. and Marvel Studios have been building momentum in a planned manner, and "The Avengers" has always been the focus of attention of the media and fans.

The crew, which was fine when it was previously filmed at Warner Studios and Hughes Aircraft Factory, is now in New York's Central Park, which immediately sparked onlookers.

When Duke and the seven main actors appeared in a small square in Central Park, the number of reporters and tourists gathered around was enough to thousands, and the reporters were okay to say that they all obeyed the tacit agreement not to disturb the normal filming of the crew, but tourists from all over the world did not care about this, and surrounded the neighborhood and kept talking and taking pictures, and Duke could not shoot normally at all.

"What should I do?"

Hearing the words of an assistant director, Duke simply sat back in his director's chair and said, "Wait, people's curiosity has a limit, and when you have watched enough, it will naturally disperse." ”

In addition to waiting, the publicity department of the crew is also taking pictures, which are very good promotional materials.

While he was bored of waiting, Duke was also interviewed by a reporter from The New York Times.

"How so?"

In response to a reporter's question, Duke pointed to the seven actors and said, "With so many superheroes present, there will probably be a fight every ten minutes on average in the film." But I also know very well that if a movie only has action scenes and no strong storyline, it is not a good film, and there have been countless bad movies over the years that focus on scenes and light on stories, so the storytelling of this film is beyond doubt. ”

Duke didn't say much, saw Scarlett come over and asked the assistant to take the reporter out of the set.

Scarlett? Johnson stood out among the actors, wearing a camel-colored leather jacket and jeans.

"Can't shoot yet?" She handed Duke a bottle of water in her hand.

Take it. Duke took a sip and looked around, compared to the previous one, under the maintenance of the many security personnel. It was quieter indeed, "Just wait a little longer." ”

Taking the bottle of water back from Duke's hand, Scarlett asked with concern, "What happened when you came, you got so angry?" ”

In the car that came over. She saw Duke answer a phone call, although he didn't say anything, but with the familiarity of the two, Scarlett could naturally see that Duke was angry.

"Things inside Marvel." Duke gave her a reassuring look, "I'll go over and deal with it after the shooting." ”

Like all commercial companies, the management of Marvel Comics, in which Duke has taken a controlling stake, also has personnel struggles.

Originally, Duke knew about this, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Any company will have internal struggles, and proper internal struggles are also a process of survival of the fittest, as long as it is maintained within a certain range, he, the controlling party, will not interfere.

It's just that today's battle has exceeded the proper scope, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely to affect the future development of Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios.

On the way here, Duke picked up Tina? Faye's notice, Marvel Studios CEO Kevin? Feige has officially submitted his resignation to the Marvel Board of Directors!

No one is indispensable in this society, Kevin? Feige is no exception to Marvel Studios. But he has the ability to understand both Marvel comics and a great filmmaker, when it is not necessary. Duke also doesn't want to see him leave Marvel Studios.

Actually, Duke, who knows something about the internal feuds of Marvel Comics, knows very well that Kevin? Feige is not necessarily looking to resign, but more to put pressure on Marvel's board of directors to target his enemies within Marvel - the Creative Committee.

Another half hour passed, thanks to the efforts of the security personnel. The area around the square finally quieted down, and Duke began filming, which was relatively simple, and it only took one morning for the filming to be completed.

This is the end of all the filming of "The Avengers".

Just finished filming, Duke simply ate a burger and handed over the crew to Anna? Prinz was in charge, and he drove to the Marvel Comics headquarters in Manhattan. Feige is there at the moment, Tina? Faye had already rushed over in advance to convene the top management of Marvel Comics on behalf of Duke to discuss the matter.

Actually, before Tina? Faye called and told Duke the good news that after a months-long lawsuit, the Los Angeles court dismissed Jack? Kobe's descendants appealed and ruled that Marvel legally owned the copyrights of "The Amazing Spider-Man", "The Avengers" and many other comic books.

This also cleared the last obstacle for the release of "The Avengers".

Although Jack? Kobe's descendants and lawyers did not give up, claiming that they would appeal and stick to the end, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are just a false appearance.

Arriving at Marvel Comics headquarters, Duke and Kevin first? Feige met and then consulted with Marvel's top executives.

After nearly ten years of hard work, the shares of Marvel Comics with voting rights in his hands have exceeded 50%, and Marvel Comics has long changed his surname to Rosenberg.

As long as Duke wanted to, he could lay off most of the people at Marvel without much effort, but he never did, Marvel Comics is a modern business with perfect rules and regulations, not personal playthings.

Kevin? Feige and Marvel's creative committee have a long-standing feud, and the contradictions between them are extremely acute.

The Marvel Creative Committee is chaired by the head of Marvel Entertainment, Ike Brown. Led by Pamut, Marvel Entertainment originally included three divisions: Marvel Games, Marvel Studios and Marvel TV, so Pamut is considered Kevin? Feige's immediate boss.

Other members of the Creative Committee include Marvel Entertainment Chairman Allen Brown? Vane, the famous comic book author Brian? Michael? Bendis, Marvel publisher Dan? Barkley and former Marvel editor-in-chief and current chief creative officer Joe? Quesada.

They are important people in Marvel's management, and in the Marvel film creative team, they are responsible for providing the main ideas and outlines, in other words, they are able to give certain script decisions.

The creative committee was deeply involved in the creation of Marvel films, sometimes delaying production, bogging the crew into unwarranted disputes over scientific issues, and even the departure of the director because of their disagreements with the director.

As the real leader of Marvel Studios, Kevin? Feige has made a significant contribution to the development of the entire Marvel franchise, and there has been some risky decisions along the way.

Contrary to Marvel Entertainment's Ike? Pamut is a typical conservative, who has always been known for being picky and conservative, and is always trying to control the budget of each film, and even decided to cut the "Fantastic Four" comic book in order to limit the superhero movies under Twentieth Century Fox, and did not allow the comic book author to create new "X-Men" characters.

Ike? Pamut has become an unpopular character inside and outside Marvel, and the creative committee that stands on the same front as Pamut naturally does not get the favor of everyone.

The creative committee, however, was supported by Duke.

The actual owner of any company will not give unlimited power to a professional manager, Michael? The feud between Eisner and the Walt Disney family is the best example of the opposite.

Duke trusts Kevin? Feiqi, but any power needs to be restrained, and the full force without supervision is undoubtedly a tiger out of the cage, which will not only hurt the outsiders, but also hurt himself.

Having experienced the previous life, Duke knew very well that power must be supervised and restrained, and it was impossible for him to let Kevin? Feige is self-incarcerated and self-managed.

The creative committee itself exists to limit the power of some of the company's executives.

Having said that, there is a certain struggle within Marvel, and it is not a situation that Duke wants to see, and no boss wants his company's management to be monolithic.

In fact, the comic and film branches within Marvel have been in a state of game, not only because of the influence of the creative committee formed by these old comic books on the movie, but also because Marvel movies often make comic book writers cry and laugh, in order to cooperate with some plot designs of movies and TV series, Marvel Studios will also intervene in comics and put forward some plot requirements, but this often destroys the coherence and consistency of the comics themselves.

Marvel's "civil war" is comparable to a "palace scheming", if Pamut is an iron-fisted wolf, then Kevin? Feige is by no means a white rabbit who has been bullied.

Kevin? Feige's plan is clear, he wants to put pressure on the Marvel board of directors and Duke to dissolve the creative committee.

I have to admit that whether it is from the production process or the market level, Kevin? Feige must be better than Ike? Pamut knows more about movies.

And, without a creative committee, the production cycle of a film might be shortened, which is really not a bad thing from a business point of view.

But Duke never intended to do that.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is also built on the world that comics have shaped for a long time and the popularity it has accumulated, and the Creative Committee, as a group of people who know the most about comics, can better understand the needs of the core loyal users of Marvel movies.

Finding the most suitable plot for reference and adaptation from the vast number of comics cannot be ignored by the contributions of the creative committee members who have been immersed in the comic book industry for decades.

On top of that, the Creative Council is on a similar role to Kevin? A check on the power of a person at the helm of a company like Feige.

Yes, the creative committee actually doesn't play much of a role in matters such as the quality and publicity of the film, but they are Duke's other hand controlling the entire Marvel, and it is impossible for him to cut off his arm. (To be continued.) )
