984: Shooting

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

To be honest, "Iron Man 3", a "representative of the new century hero" who coexists with beauty and intelligence, cuteness and cheapness, and has both gold and infatuation, is not easy to film, especially after the fire of "The Avengers". (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

"Iron Man" is now in a state of unrivaled fierceness except for the organization, and any other "Avenger" may not be able to achieve such a sensational effect when he flies solo!

And in DC's "CPPCC" camp, only "Batman" who has stepped into the river of "realism" can compete with it, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Stark is already the "spokesperson of Superhero in the new century".

Looking at the unique comic book hero culture in the United States, although there are many characters in the exhibition for hundreds of years, there is always one who has become a leader in different eras. In the last century, under the interpretation of Christopher River, people have become the endorsement of comic book heroes with the label of "perfect", handsome, tall, muscular, invincible steel body, shy and gentle after taking off the cape, every angle is interpreting perfection. In the world promotion stage of American comic culture, such an image is undoubtedly the best "American endorsement" -- a firm and unhurried appearance, and an elegant and civilized connotation.

In the new century, people's definition of perfection began to drift. The 21st century is the era of selling corruption and selling cuteness, in addition to the "male" selling point of selling corruption, the cute and bursting yuppie men's style has become popular, coupled with the "perfect personality" in psychology: when people reach middle age, men and women will gradually integrate the personality characteristics of opposite genders to achieve "perfection", so the middle-aged uncle has both male fortitude and bravery, and female delicacy and warmth. And vice versa. So little Lori loves uncle. These have become the reasons for the popularity of "Iron Man".

And the more people look forward to it, the greater the creative pressure.

In order to make "Iron Man 3" pass the previous work, Li Donglai had to make a ruthless move.

Armor upgrades are a must. Rhythm reversal is also a must. The important thing is that the protagonist has to be abused so hard that he can bounce back harder, and anyway, heroes can't be killed.

In order to present the real Iron Man in the camera, the Iron Man evolved armor needed to be made in reality to be exactly the same as the gorgeous Iron suit in the computer. This work has been done very well in the first two parts, but in the third part, the demand for props has increased more than tenfold at once.

Li Donglai needs dozens of sets of Iron Man suits to fly into the sky under intelligent operation, and can also act as bombs if necessary. This has led to a sharp increase in the work of the props team, and Li Donglai is a person who has high requirements for details. He makes movies very quickly, which also requires a perfect behind-the-scenes team.

After many practical actions, they finally solved the problem that Robert Downey Jr. can still make sharp fighting moves in the new Iron Man suit

"Gross. The smell is disgusting. "Because they had to shoot snow scenery in the summer, the crew had no choice but to make artificial snow on the ground, but they encountered difficulties. Even at night, it still melts quickly. No way. In the end, Li Donglai came up with a bad idea. Simply use chemical fertilizers. Then Robert Downey Jr. was working hard in the fertilizer heap, tossing and turning, before he had such a complaint.

Li Donglai turned a deaf ear, "Donnie, it was great just now, but it's still a little close." Cheer up, you've frowned too many times just now, making your whole face look ugly. You're the best acting maniac. How many times do you want me to shout ng? ”

Little Robert was complained about and rolled his eyes. The initiative interrupted his chatter, "Okay, let's do one more." ”

……

The crew didn't have Bingbing Fan's role today, and she has been staying in the crew. She is grateful to Li Donglai for making her the second protagonist of Soy Sauce. Mingli didn't dare to provoke Li Donglai, because there were too many eyes around him, but secretly he enjoyed all the tenderness.

Playing the role of the Manchurian is Ben Kingsley, the scientist Aldridge Kilian who met by chance 13 years ago is played by the handsome guy Guy Pearce, plus the female botanist Maya played by Bingbing Fan, they are all working with Li Donglai for the first time, and they didn't know Li Donglai's work status before.

Now that they have cooperated, they know how Li Donglai dispatched the scene.

The whole process of filming can keep people in an exciting dynamic rhythm, but there is no "adrenal secretion" pressure feeling, of course, thanks to the natural and smooth connection between the various action scenes.

And the most surprising thing is the control of the characters, in addition to the old faces of the series (Stark, Pepper, War Machine) this time a considerable number of supporting characters have been added, such as Dr. Kirian, Manchurian, botanist, security guard, President of the United States, little boy and even Tony several handsome guys and so on.

The full number of people will naturally bring strong plot pressure, but under the command of Li Donglai, these characters still maintain enough scenes. It is not easy to interact with each other to promote the plot within the limit of 2 hours and 1o minutes, and to shape the personalities of their respective characters more completely.

Although I can't see their faces on the movie screen now, Li Donglai's shooting method will definitely not be too few in the movie. Because Li Donglai's shots are too few, as long as he likes the shots, most of them rarely shoot from multiple angles, as long as they are enough for him to complete the editing, they are finished.

Doing so undoubtedly greatly improved the efficiency of filming, but it also puzzled the actors who were in contact with it for the first time, "Won't this happen?" ”

"Ahh

Robert Downey Jr., an old fritter, said, "What he shoots, it's a favorite for editors because they don't have much work. Don't worry about movies, what has been done in the past is enough to prove it. ”

Yes, even producer Kevin Feige isn't that worried. In fact, he dared to find a new assistant director for Li Donglai before, but now that "The Avengers" is a big hit, he rarely even refutes Li Donglai's opinion.

The only weakness lies in the acceptance of fans of the original comics, after all, Li Donglai's adaptation of "Iron Patriot" and "Manchurian" is too bold, but there is no barrier to acceptance for us who have no comic background. The most important thing is, "Since Li Donglai insisted." Then it was such a happy decision. ”

……

The shooting quickly shifted positions, and this time came to Iron Man's enviable seaside villa. Li Donglai played even harder, and he directly simulated blasting the entire villa.

looked at Li Donglai and bowed his head. Looking back at Robert Downey Jr.'s expression just now in the camera, Gwyneth Paltrow, who was next to him, also saw that he was frowning and dissatisfied.

"Lee, what's wrong? Do you think it's bad just now, it's been a day of filming, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Gwyneth is also an Oscar-winning actress, and it is not only big-name directors who have the right to speak in Hollywood crews. The opinion of the lead actor is also very important.

"Well, it's a good act, but it's always a bit fake. Love xΓΉ is not enough to express ......" Li Donglai pinched his chin and shook his head. "I don't think he acted badly in the previous scenes. Why did you suddenly raise your requirements for him here? Kevin Feige also asked curiously, in his opinion, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are already top-notch, at least he calls himself a genius in acting. This is not arrogant.

"Nope. My standards have never changed. Li Donglai shook his head and said: "In the third part, Iron Man wants to create a kind of soul, the soul of the movie." Because he was even more miserable, and even his home was flattened. The previous Iron Man image symbol has been well established, so if you want to break through the previous work in the sequel, you don't rely on large-scale special effects, which have been done too much in "The Avengers". If we want to make "Iron Man 3" look like a real human movie, then what we need to do is to put the weak side of Tony Stark's character. When you are really weak, you build up. ”

Almost all fans in the world have a very big misunderstanding in metropolis-level hero movies. That is, "popcorn-style movies with no connotation" just use big scenes to attract people, as long as it is in line with the image of a high-level hero, whoever plays the protagonist is the same.

Hearing that Christian Bale was no longer starring in "The Batman", they immediately chose a new Batman, and Ben Fleck was the alternate. But if you want to pass Nolan's Batman, it's basically difficult to do it, because his Batman is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is the same reason.

Of course, this is also an impression given by most of the previous hero movies, because the traditional hero movies, to put it bluntly, are filming the story of the comics, so that comic fans can see the childhood comics in the form of real people in the movie. But this is actually the simplest hero movie, strictly speaking, it really can't be called a movie at all, it can only be called a live-action feature film that is a comic book remake.

The reason why the so-called film is called the seventh art is because the film is refined and sublimated on the basis of the original works of art such as novels, dramas or comics, and then evolved into an art form that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Among all levels of hero comics, what comic fans really care about is actually the story of the omnipotent comic book heroes of "people" and "Batman", and they do not treat them as a "normal person", but if comics are the art of building "heroes", and movies are precisely the art of talking about "people".

If the comics are not refined, the film will become a mere hero comic...... This is not what Li Donglai wants, he knows that there is only one point of integration between the two arts, and that is the heroic side, that is, the original appearance of Tony Stark in "Iron Man 3" when he faces a more powerful enemy after losing a qiΔ“.

"I think Lee is right."

Someone next to him suddenly interjected, and everyone looked at Robert Downey Jr., who had wound makeup on his face.

He said with a serious face: "What Li said is very right. Now my symbol is no longer Robert Downey Jr., but Tony Stark. This is the role of character building. But if it is still filmed like before, it will be at most the level of "Iron Man 2". It's time for us to get back to basics, of course, it's not that we don't want to make a big scene, after all, the audience is still exciting. ”

Hearing Robert Downey Jr.'s serious words, Li Donglai had a smile on his face, "Thank you, buddy." You still know me. ”

Gwyneth smiled, "I know, you're a good friend." ”

"Oh, no." The two retorted in unison, "Not really." ”

Kevin Feige looked frustrated, "Well, since you both think it's right, let's do it." I'll take care of the logistics. ”

This part of their discussion was also faithfully recorded by the scene photographer and uploaded to the Internet as a tidbit during the promotion. (To be continued!)
