Chapter 676: Boot & Fight

"On March 12th, "Superman Returns" will hold a press conference in Times Square, New York, and reporters are welcome to come, and on the day of the press conference, the full lineup of "Superman Returns" will also be announced!"

Almost less than an hour after the statement of the crew of "Iron Man" was issued, the official announcement of "Superman Returns" was also announced, and for a while, the most exciting thing was the vast number of American entertainment media.

The media knows no geographical borders, and what entertainment media reporters pay attention to is that as long as there is a conflict, it is fine, so the press conference was released on the same day that "Iron Man" and "Superman Returns" were announced, and it was also a key report.

"Iron Man" and "Superman Coming" will hold a press conference on the same day, for these two films since the beginning of the preparation, "Iron Man" has been questioned, but "Superman Returns" has received a lot of praise and expectations, two movies with completely different treatments, two movies with different treatments, whether there will be a change next, let's wait and see - Washington Post"

"Marvel and DC Comics were still the two giants of American comics more than ten years ago, but now Marvel has been acquired and turned into a Comic Cinematic Universe company, and DC Comics is still in full swing, and now, after DC Comics' adaptation of "Superman Returns" and the first film of the Comic Cinematic Universe "Iron Man" collided, however, now it seems that filming has not yet started, "Superman Returns" is a small victory - Chicago Sun-Times"

"Walt's $300 million investment in "Superman Returns" is about to start filming shockingly, this one. It is not known whether the highly anticipated movie can recreate the glory of Superman, and the other, "Iron Man", although it claims to have an investment of 200 million US dollars, but, unfortunately, this movie may become the foil of "Superman Returns" - "New York Magazine"

And almost at the time of these news media, reporters are still afraid that the world will not be chaotic. interviewed the director of "Superman Returns" and the CEO of Legendary Film and Television. As a result, Jon. Fei Ru faced the reporter, laughed directly, and asked the reporter rhetorically: "Do you think the two movies are comparable?" ”

As for the legendary film and television boss. It's more direct. Directly said "A movie like "Iron Man". If it really succeeds, then, Marvel will not go out of business. Haha, American comics, American audiences, what they really like is superheroes like Superman! ”

In addition, DC Comics is very high-profile, expressing the hope that American comics can take a new turn, and also hope that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's movies will not be too miserable, after all, they also hope that different voices of comics can appear in the United States.

Compare to Jon. The statement of Fei Ru and the legendary film and television boss made Qi Tan the most angry than the attitude of DC Comics, and Stan said directly and loudly: "DC Comics, those who were suppressed by our Marvel back then were dying, and as a result, Annie didn't listen to my advice, so they developed hugely, what qualifications do they have to comment on Marvel?" ”

Although Zhao Ze understands Stan's anger, he himself does not have too much anger, he is just a little surprised, in the other world, this "Superman Returns" is full of ups and downs.

Warners actually invested a total of $350 million in "Superman Returns", but only $300 million actually reached Singh, and the remaining $50 million was all wasted on the bumpy road of changing scripts, directors, and actors. Director selection from Tim. Burton to Michael. Bey then to McG, and finally finally in Bright. The dust settled on Reina's hands.

Moreover, this film, because of the "superman" candidate Nicholas. Cage was fed up with the repeated procrastination of the whole process and moved on to other films, and was once again put on hold. At the moment when the funds, scripts, and directors were all in place, Bright. Reiner had been in contact with Jude. Lowe, Ashton. Kutcher, Paul. Volcker, Josh. Hartnett and many other popular students, except for Russell. Except for Crow who refused to play "Superman" without even thinking about it, the other candidates have never been able to reach a consensus.

However, in this time and space, this "Superman Returns" does not have so many twists and turns. After Burton refused, he began to let Jon. Favreau directed.

Zhao Ze was also a little drunk when he thought about it, originally, it should have been Jon. Fei Ru directed and filmed "Iron Man", but the result was good, he ran to "Superman Returns", thinking of this, Zhao Ze's heart was also a little bottomless.

"Can 'Iron Man' beat 'Superman Returns'? Time and space have changed, can "Iron Man" still create a zào miracle? ”

Although Zhao Ze is not clear about these, but now he has no way out, all he can do is move forward and move forward.

The next day, all the crew of "Iron Man" went to Preavista, and because it was the opening ceremony, in addition to all the actors, Stan and Zhao Ze also followed.

A few days ago, Zhao Ze came here once, and it was located in a vast area west of Los Angeles, which was large enough to accommodate the location shooting of Iron Man, and in a few days, the layout of the cave was all done.

The weather is not good now, and the temperature of this kind of cave is even lower, but the next month is to spend a month here, and the door of the cave has already been placed with the necessary things for the opening ceremony.

Even though "Iron Man" has countless bad reviews now, there are still a lot of reporters who come, and when Zhao Ze led a group of leading actors to start the worship ceremony, they also crackled and began to take pictures.

Almost half an hour later, the worship ceremony was over, and at this time, some reporters also began to ask about Zhao Ze, Tim. Burton et al. question.

"Tim. Burton, you turned down the position of director of "Superman Returns" at the beginning, but what made you choose "Iron Man", and the position of director of "Iron Man" should have been Jon. Fei Ru, however, he refused, and instead went to be the director of "Superman Returns"? ”

A reporter in New York asked, this is also what everyone feels curious, both are extremely famous directors in Hollywood, but they both rejected the other party and chose each other instead.

Moreover, what these reporters are even more curious about is that the other directors of Zhao Ze's "Iron Man" have chosen to ignore them, and the result is only Tim. Burton, however, chose to direct directly.

"There is no reason, because, in my opinion, the movie "Iron Man" will bring us different feelings in the United States and even in China, and everyone can wait and see."

Tim. Burton said this, and apologized directly to the reporter: "Okay, as for the other interviews, you can ask these two investors of mine, I believe that they have more say than me, and I need to go to Cave City to watch the filming scene now." ”

The reporter was not surprised that, after all, all along, Tim. Burton is like this, and when the topic shifts to Zhao Ze and Stan, Stan has always held his breath, as for Zhao Ze, he doesn't care at all, so when the two heard that the reporter wanted to compare the two movies, they also laughed.

"There is really no comparison, and when the time comes, everyone can look at the box office and word of mouth."

Everyone understands in their hearts that this year, before the two movies are filmed, this is a considerable distance, I am afraid that "Superman Returns" and "Iron Man" will be on the line.

Even, many people felt stunned, because the self-confidence of Zhao Ze and Stan in front of them was even stronger than that of "Superman Returns"!

After dealing with the reporter for almost an hour, the interview was over, and Zhao Ze and Stan also walked inside, only to see Tim. Burton was creating.

"Here, press a few lights, I need light!"

"And here, this is the monitoring room, don't you remember? Terrorists have been using surveillance footage to keep watch

Gafen heard Zhou Shaoming's words and responded with a smile: "I don't know what else needs to be improved?" Spy on Tony and Dr. Inson's movements! Therefore, it is necessary to put a few more sets here. ”

"Don't be too bright on the caves on both sides, otherwise the picture won't be very good!"

As soon as he put himself into work, Tim seemed to be a different person, one after another request, crackling and letting it out. Burton's command, Zhao Ze was also relieved.

"Burton, I'll leave it to you next, don't worry, I won't interfere in the filming scenes, I only have one request, I must shoot a movie that you, me, Stan, and the whole American audience are satisfied with, ask for money, or people, we fully support."

Zhao Ze and Stan are about to go back, and Burton is preparing to prepare here, and Zhao Ze is also talking to Burton.

"No problem!"

Tim. Burton was obviously still jealous of Zhao Ze's previous words, and after saying this coldly, he turned around and left directly.

"I hope you don't let me down!"

didn't care about Burton's attitude, Zhao Ze and Stan were also driving to leave, and at the same time, on the side of "Superman Returns", the news interview was also over.

As expected by Zhao Ze and Stan, "Superman Returns" added $50 million on the basis of $300 million, and in addition, several important characters in the movie also appeared one by one.

During the interview, when "Iron Man" was mentioned, it was still all kinds of falling stones and all kinds of contemptuous ridicule, and Zhao Ze didn't care much about the next media reports.

After all, Huaxia, there is still a crew waiting for him! (To be continued......)
