Chapter 675: "Iron Man" is ready to start
"What do you mean?"
Burton went straight away, looked at Zhao Ze, and said angrily: "I know that you are also known as a genius director in Huaxia, but there is no comparison between the movies that shoot the superhero series and those garbage movies in your Huaxia."
"Hehe, our Chinese movies don't use American movies for the time being, but we have an old saying in China, called art industry specialization, which means that everyone has their own areas of expertise, and you, as a director, should focus on the shooting and coordination of "Iron Man", rather than doing comic design and costume design, which is not what you should do, I believe that Stan Studio is enough, and they have also designed for the "Iron Man" comics."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ze's eyes showed a hint of disdain: "The investment in this "Iron Man" is expected to be 200 million US dollars, such an investment, I need to beat the "Superman Returns", but, Jon. Fei Ru is doing the overall planning of "Superman Returns", on the other hand, you are doing this kind of subsection, how can I rest assured that it will be handed over to you. â
"Okay, that's it, I'll give you a day to think about it, if you think about it, come to Marvel to find me, if you still insist, then I can only say I'm sorry!"
After Zhao Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, and Stan didn't expect it to evolve like this, but, looking at Burton, he said helplessly: "Actually, Burton, I also want to say that you should put your mind on the entire crew of "Iron Man", not on this kind of thing, I admit that the armor and character design of "Iron Man". Very important. But. It's more important to shoot, because, you're the director! â
Stan is gone, and Burton himself is left in the room, and at this time, his face is getting paler and paler, he has been lonely and closed since he was a child, so to speak. He has always lived in his own world, but because of this, he has never cared about the opinions, opinions, and criticisms of the outside world.
"Burton, do you know that your first 'Batman' can be a success, and after the subsequent movies fail, why don't I let you shoot them? Because you can't tell the difference. â
"Burton. Actually, I'd love to say it. Your comics, just a hobby, shooting, is the most important thing, you are a director, do you have to put all your mind on this kind of inconsequential? â
Thinking about the words of the original DC Comics boss, thinking about the persuasion of other old friends, Burton was also silent, although he was strange and closed, but he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, before, just because he didn't question himself and didn't want to think in this direction.
"Zhao, it's the first time I've seen Burton like this, but I think you're right, many people in the circle have also said him, and sometimes he can't tell the difference between big and small things."
In the car, Stan said as he drove.
"Hehe, actually, I just want to say where to go, by the way, if my guess is right, I'm afraid, in the evening, he will call you, and when the time comes, you still need to discuss it well, "Iron Man" can't wait any longer."
Zhao Ze smiled faintly, and then said with a somewhat excited expression.
"Well, Burton is actually quite capable, don't worry, "Iron Man" is the first movie of our Comic Cinematic Universe Company, and I will never be careless."
Stan's face also showed confidence, and at the same time, his eyes flashed with excitement and eagerness, and he said in a deep voice
Sure enough, Tim. Burton calls Stan in the evening and briefly talks about the filming of the film, after all, it is impossible to get the lone ranger to say, 'I was wrong'.
So the next day, Manwei Cinematic Universe announced that "Iron Man" will be preparing for filming. Burton, starring Rob Downey Jr., Gwyneth. Paltrow and others have also announced all of them, and the total investment of this film is expected to be 200 million US dollars.
"The filming of "Iron Man" originally thought that the Manwei Cinematic Universe Company would temporarily delay the filming, and it may even stop shooting, but I didn't expect that this movie, this Chinese Zhao Ze, actually filmed, and also increased investment. Burton has such strength to shoot well, but with such a blockbuster investment, all the actors who are not famous will be selected, and it is difficult for this movie not to pounce. â
The Wall Street Journal took the lead in reporting, I have to say that Americans are more proud, in their opinion, this Chinese man is simply messing around, Marvel has gone bankrupt, and the American comics are dead, and there is no one to save at all, not to mention, a Chinese person, if he wants to shoot an American blockbuster, it is strange not to die.
Following the Wall Street Journal, other entertainment media have also reported on it, compared with the previous criticism, I have to say that this time, it is even more aggressive.
"Iron Man" has a total investment of 200 million US dollars, and the actors are in addition to Rob Jr. Except for people like Donnie who have negative news, the others are all half-new, plus the geek director Tim. Burton, it's strange that such a movie doesn't hit the streets.
However, in the face of criticism from the American media, the Comic Micro Cinematic Universe has never had any reaction, on the other hand, "Superman Returns", which was changed by DC Comics, is also preparing for filming.
This film, directed by a director who has just been nominated for an Oscar, Jon. Favreau, and as for the actors, they are all Hollywood A-list movie stars, whether it is Buden. Rose, Kate. Beth, Kevin. Shi Xi and others, such a luxurious lineup, and as the investment and entertainment company of this movie, Walt and Legend, the two major film and television companies, have jointly invested 300 million US dollars!
Well-known directors, luxury lineup, super investment, first-class shooting scenes, etc., almost "Superman Returns" occupies the time, location, and people, so huh, this movie, before filming, is constantly praised, not only that, because of Jon. Favreau did not choose "Iron Man" at that time, so he chose "Superman Returns", and many people also began to compare "Iron Man".
"If the filming time is about the same, I'm afraid that "Iron Man" and "Superman Returns" may be released together, in that case, I'm afraid that "Superman Returns" will crush "Iron Man"!"
"Superman Returns" is the fifth movie adapted from the comic book of "Superman" by DC Comics, it can be said that Superman has a strong appeal in our United States, as for "Iron Man", he is already an eliminated person, what is there to watch such a movie?"
"Anyway, what I'm most curious about now is how much the box office of this "Superman Returns" movie, with an investment of $300 million, will it reach at that time?"
"Whether it's too much or small, I only believe in one thing, that is, the box office of "Iron Man" will definitely not be much!"
"Not really, in my opinion, "Iron Man" is actually quite good, maybe this movie can create a zĂ o miracle?"
I have to say that after the Manwei Movie Universe Company obtained enough funds, it began to spend money like crazy, and began to carry out propaganda like crazy, and the entertainment media in the United States were all negative and bad reviews, so the Manwei Movie Universe Company put its mind on the audience.
After all, Marvel was a comic giant that competed with DC Comics, so it still has a lot of fame in the United States, and in addition, "Iron Man" is a movie that is different from other superheroes, so there are also a lot of audiences who express their support.
On March 5th, Comic Micro Cinematic Universe also announced that "Iron Man" will be launched. Burton, Rob Downey Jr., Stan, and Zhao Ze discussed and decided to set the film in Los Angeles, with major locations including Edward Air Force Base, the historic Cinema Trail in Penang, California, and the Preavista Platform.
As for the first major shooting scene, the Preavista platform, the two platform landscapes that often appear in the film have historical ties to Howard Hughes. The first scene filmed at the Preavista platform was Tony. Stark was taken captive to a cave and forced to make Jericho missiles for a mob from the Middle East. Ignoring Ianson's advice, Tony secretly designs his own steel cloak.
It can be said that the protagonist Tony was kidnapped by terrorists and spent the darkest period of his life, during this time, Tony experienced the moment of life and death, and fortunately with the help of Dr. Inson, Tony escaped from death, and helped Tony complete the manufacture of steel armor and successfully escaped from the terrorists!
And it is precisely because of this incident that Tony's mood has changed a lot, and a series of things that appeared later are also based on this.
"The opening ceremony is here!"
Although it is in the United States, however, Zhao Ze is still preparing for the start-up ceremony, and all of them are in accordance with the etiquette of China. Burton didn't have any opinions, he just hoped that when filming, Zhao Ze didn't have too many hands and feet.
5 days to prepare, and both Zhao Ze and Burton want realistic landscapes, so the challenge of art Mike is to create a precipitous cave-like scene, and as for Rob Downey Jr., he also volunteered, after all, he has been imprisoned.
For little Robert. Downey's opinion, Burton also readily agreed, and Zhao Ze understood in his heart that little Rob. Downey is hoping to do his best and thus live up to the success of the film.
On March 11th, Manwei Cinematic Universe announced that "Iron Man" will hold a kick-off ceremony on the Preavista platform tomorrow, and at the same time, it is also the first press conference about "Iron Man".
What the crew of "Iron Man" didn't expect was that "Superman Returns" also announced that on the same day, a press conference would be held! (To be continued......)
