From the Los Angeles Times to the New York Times on the East Coast, from the Washington Post in North America to Le Figaro in continental Europe, from The Times in the British Isles to the Asahi Shimbun in the Japanese archipelago, from the professional Hollywood Reporter to the typical tabloid The Sun, reporters were sent to this press conference.

"I've accepted an offer from Marvel Studios to be the director of The Avengers."

Although it was the focus of the press conference, Duke didn't say much, except for announcing that he had signed with Marvel Studios, he also admitted that the film will be shot in 3D, "It's interesting that 'The Avengers' will be made into a 3D movie." ”

He didn't hesitate to say these words, "I don't like the kind of movies that are long shots, full of dialogue everywhere, I like the kind of movies that make people feel immersive." So, 3D is very much in line with my aesthetic leanings. Truth be told, there are a lot of movies that aren't meant to be made into 3D, but the 3D version of The Avengers is certainly not annoying, and there are a lot of scenes that make you feel like you're in a movie. From this point of view, I love the 3D "Avengers" very much. ”

At the press conference, Duke took the initiative to step aside, and now the publicity actors are more topical, and the six Avengers members have also become the focus of media attention, according to the arrangement before the press conference, each of them also told the media about their role in the film.

The first to speak was Chris? Evans, his Captain America will be the soul of the Avengers,"

"Seventy years into the present day, Captain America has magically reawakened and joined the Avengers......"

Chris? Evans talked about the difficulty of the role. He has a lot of new things to accept, and he has to adapt to the rapid changes in human morality, values, and science and technology in modern society as soon as possible. He had no relatives, no friends, and couldn't understand buzzwords. I don't know what the Internet is; But his vast combat experience and leadership skills have made the Avengers a cohesive and powerful team. ”

Robert Jr.? Downey focused on the relationship between Iron Man and Captain America to the media.

"Tony and Steve are like long-lost brothers, Tony's dad Howard? Stark also likes him the most, although Tony is a playboy who never leaves the beauty and wine. However, he did not hate his father's preference for his brother, and after meeting the captain, he regarded him as a close friend, and attacked according to Captain America's instructions at critical moments. ”

Mark? Ruffalo admitted to reporters, "In order to play the Hulk well, I have been to the zoo to observe the gorillas for a long time, and I hope this will inspire me to play the Hulk." ”

Subsequently, the reporters almost all besieged Scarlett? Johnson, her Black Widow is a key player in connecting the entire Avengers.

"I'm excited to continue playing Black Widow in 'The Avengers', I love the role of Black Widow myself, and I'm glad that fans like my interpretation of Black Widow."

When asked by a reporter if her character would spark love with other heroes. Scarlett said directly, "For Natalie? For people like Normanov, falling in love is a child's trick, and the alliance is very busy, so there is no time to fall in love! ”

After the actors, such as the newly designed hero suit and some concept art of Duke who was exposed, also became the focus of media attention.

The press conference lasted all morning, and after a lunchtime reception, Duke, as producer and director, summoned all the key members of the film to Marvel Studios. An internal meeting was held.

Marvel Studios' office in Burbank is not large, just a small two-story building, and if you look at it alone, it is hard to imagine that this is the film company that has produced several super-blockbusters that have been released around the world. It's more like the kind of movie studios that Hollywood stars have run that can go out of business at any moment.

Just after noon, it became a gathering place for Marvel heroes, and the paparazzi, who followed a few stars, almost broke the shutter of the camera.

Black Widow Scarlett? Johnson, Pepper Rachel? McAdams, Iron Man Robert Jr.? Downey. Mark the Hulk? Ruffalo, Hawkeye Jeremy? Reina, Samuel the One-Eyed? Jackson......

And Chris, the god of thunder that has not been released, but is already widely known? Hemsworth, Rocky Tom? Hiddleston.

Since a press conference had just taken place, everyone knew that the strongest team on the planet was about to be assembled.

When Duke arrived, many reporters surrounded him, as if they hadn't asked enough questions at the morning press conference, and threw out all sorts of questions.

answered a few casually, and Duke, under the cover of bodyguards, hurriedly walked into the office building of Marvel Studios, and the reporters behind surrounded Kevin, who had just gotten out of the car? Feige, the CEO of Marvel Studios, was not as lucky as Duke.

Entertainment reporters threw out knife-like questions, many of which were about the style of the film.

Listening to the reporter's questions, Duke walked towards the conference room on the second floor under the leadership of the front desk staff.

Although "The Avengers" is a movie that many comic book fans and superhero fans have been waiting for, in the minds of most industry insiders, this movie is not a sought-after bait, and the reason is actually very simple - too many heroes, too many different superpowers, too difficult to mix together.

Frankly speaking, "The Avengers" is a hodgepodge, and a hodgepodge movie is never easy to make.

Walking into the conference room, Duke greeted Robert Jr. who came over to say hello one after another. Donnie and Samuel? Jackson and the others nodded, and then walked to the top of the conference table, waiting for Kevin? After Feige's arrival, the meeting kicked off.

This is the preparatory meeting of the crew, there is nothing special, in fact, most of the affairs, as early as when the script was handed over to the relevant people, they have been communicated, the preparatory meeting is more like a meeting and coordination meeting, and the main creative staff may communicate face-to-face about possible problems.

Group drama is a very troublesome thing, there are many characters in the film, and each character is a "popular star", and the screenwriter cannot evenly distribute the scenes, so it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of "favoring one over the other", which is easy to cause open and secret battles between various actors.

Fortunately, most of them are male actors, and the fights between men are not as entangled as women.

In order to prevent those bad things that may occur in the future from hindering the filming, after the routine reading of the script, Duke deliberately stood up and said a few words.

"Cinema is the art of regret, no matter what aspect or when, regret will be left behind. In terms of plot, Marvel, Stan? Lee and the screenwriters have done their best and tried to equalize everything possible. ”

Sweeping his gaze over everyone in the room, Duke said solemnly, "But unfortunately, this is an unrealistic idea. Therefore, some superheroes can only be used as supporting roles in this movie. ”

As soon as Duke's voice fell, Kevin? Feige said cooperatively, "However, this will not disappoint, because there are a lot of action scenes in the film, although there are so many superheroes together, but this movie is still an action movie, just pay attention to those big action scenes, because this is the blood of this movie." ”

In fact, these people can't say anything on the surface, Duke is not the Joss he used to be after all? Wheddon, as a director, is powerful enough for these actors to keep some unrealistic ideas in mind.

For example, Captain America doesn't have many scenes in the script, although it is the brain of the Avengers, it is definitely not the most brilliant one, and it is even more like an ornament.

This is a normal thing, when a group of superheroes gathers together, it is inevitable that some people will stand out and some people will be reduced to decoration.

According to the setting of the script, Iron Man Tony? Stark definitely took advantage, humorous, poisonous and conceited, and finally became a "fighter" among superheroes because of his courage to dedicate himself, in addition to serving on various most dangerous combat missions, Iron Man also gave full play to the huge energy of comedians, all kinds of ridicule, all kinds of "no shape".

To be precise, there is a clear division of labor in the script, Iron Man is responsible for playing treasure, Captain America is responsible for playing handsome, Black Widow is responsible for showmanship, One-Eye is responsible for scheming, and Hawkeye is responsible for showing off his arms......

As for Thor, I still continue to abuse me thousands of times, and I treat my brother like my first love.

This is also done because there are too many main characters, and the script is really difficult to measure.

Even, Stan? Lee once asked Duke for advice to remove the annoying character of Thor, but he got a negative answer, after all, he wanted to make a film that showed these comic book characters in a panoramic way.

"The film has a very comic script, and it looks like the members of the Avengers are coming out of their respective films, and these things are mixed up to look silly and funny."

Facing the eyes of everyone, Duke also said some of his own directing concepts, "There are mythological characters here, there are American GIs in World War II, and there are Tony? It's not easy for an arms dealer and a lone ranger like Stark to put these characters together. ”

"Fundamentally, these people don't belong in a movie, and we're going to tie them together with a story that's going to captivate superhero fans around the world." (To be continued.) )
