China Entertainment 1997

new york, studio

An exterior scene similar to a secret base has been set up here, and a large number of extras dressed as scientific researchers are busy in it. Your core is an old man who also appeared in "Thor" and is an astronomer.

Surrounded by armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and guards, the core were Cao Xuan and the one-eyed man Fury, who were carrying quivers on their backs. Next to them was Loki, who was holding a scepter.

Director Joss Whedon danced while explaining the shooting arrangements.

"Loki's scepter is the mind gem, which is very powerful. Cao was hit by an energy wave because he saved Fury. Loki took this opportunity to confuse his mind..."

"Avengers" is a group drama. The roles of each protagonist are from the scattered heroes to the initial gathering, then dispersed for some reason, and then reunited to fight the BOSS at the end.

In the movie, Hawkeye is the first of the Avengers heroes to appear.

The plot continues the "Hawkeye" movie. Although Hawkeye and Black Widow destroyed Dr. Eggman's conspiracy, the other party's emphasis on the Cosmic Cube also attracted Director Fury's attention.

So he invited astronomers to use this cosmic cube to create some super weapons to deal with the endless stream of super villains.

In order to prevent anyone from sabotaging it, he sent SHIELD's ace Hawkeye to guard it.

One thing to say is that the reason why the original "Avengers" made Hawkeye an accomplice of Loki was largely because he was the first to appear among many heroes, so it added memory points to the audience.

Now that Cao Xuan has made a personal movie "Eagle Eye", it stands to reason that there is no need for such an arrangement.

However, the director and screenwriter Joss Whedon reviewed the script and found that Hawkeye was the most suitable.

First of all, Loki needs helpers, otherwise he really can't defeat the Avengers alone. He hammers everywhere in the movie and hardly has much backhand power.

Therefore, Loki must be given a powerful helper to inflict heavy damage on the Avengers and pave the way for the final battle.

But who to choose as this helper is more skillful.

First of all, Loki was transported to Earth by the Cosmic Cube, and Thor later chased him to Earth, so he could not be controlled in the early stage.

Moreover, Thor has become Loki's thug, and the brothers' role in stirring up Loki will be gone, and it may even easily lead to conflict between Earth and Asgard.

The Hulk is special, he may not be able to control it, and the movie has set up a darkening scene, and it will overlap if he is controlled again.

Iron Man and Captain America are largely responsible for the conflict in the formation of the Avengers. Without the two of them, there will be no way to play the opposite role. Black Widow's combat effectiveness is slightly lower, and her "rebellion" value is not high.

Therefore, the Eagle who guarded the Cosmic Cube in the early stage had no problem with logic and timing. At the same time, he had strong combat effectiveness and was familiar with various insider information of SHIELD. The degree of destruction was far greater than that of others.

Moreover, Hawkeye belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D., and the various consequences of the destruction can be relatively understood and forgiven by S.H.I.E.L.D.

If it had been anyone else, he might have become enemies within SHIELD, but this was the benefit of being a direct descendant.

Another point is that Hawkeye is a very emotional person. Many people in S.H.I.E.L.D. died because of him, which will inevitably make him feel a certain amount of guilt, which can also pave the way for the following plot.

In the original movie, Hawkeye married a wife and had children, returned to his family, and his relationship with Black Widow became comrades, confidants, and family.

In the Starry version, Marvel couldn't bear to part with Black Widow and Cao Xuan's CP, but Cao Xuan wouldn't appear in some movies, so they created a new setting.

Let Hawkeye become stronger!

In his personal movie, good brothers died because of him, and in Revenge League, he indirectly killed many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, so Hawkeye felt guilty and lamented his lack of ability.

Therefore, after the Battle of New York, he went to the ancient holy land mentioned by his master swordsman to further practice [Qi]. Through special SHIELD training and spiritual training, he became immune to mind control, which still paved the way for the following plot.

And this can also solve the problem of Hawkeye's role to a large extent.

If something happens, he will go down the mountain to join the battle, and if nothing happens, he will go back to the mountain to practice in seclusion.

Every time you go down the mountain, your combat effectiveness can be improved, and you can even appear as a super foreign aid to increase the sense of surprise.

Cao Xuan is satisfied with this arrangement. He will not be controlled by Marvel movies and can join in an orderly manner. Marvel generally agrees.

They also want to control Cao Xuan, but Cao Xuan's salary is really not cheap.

The highest paid person in "Avengers" is Robert Downey Jr., who is said to have made $50 million. I don't know whether it is true or not, but considering the results of the two "Iron Man" movies, there should not be much difference.

Cao Xuan's salary is US$13 million, which is the same as the widowed sister Scarlett Johansson.

It is said that at first, Marvel planned to give two people US$15 million and US$12 million, but later they were afraid of a fight, so the three parties negotiated and finally let both of them receive US$13 million.

As for Captain America and the others, the box office has increased a lot compared to when they were filming their personal movies, but they can't compare with these three.

The combined salary of Thor, Captain America, Loki and the Hulk may just be comparable to that of Cao Xuan or Widow Sister.

Of course, this is just because Renren's movie has not been released yet. If it is released and performs well at the box office, it will be difficult to get such a cabbage price.

Personal movie protagonists like Thor and Captain America are paid at least tens of millions of dollars, and Cao Xuan and Widow Sister directly hit the 20 million dollar club.

As for Robert Downey Jr., people really pay by the second. Cao Xuan actually planned to work with him in a movie before. Later, after asking about the market price, he felt that there are many other good actors in Hollywood.

It is precisely because of such a high salary that Marvel will not easily use characters like Cao Xuan and Black Widow to participate in other movies, or they will not use them all because they are too expensive.

………

Unlike other actors, who may at most express their understanding of drama, Cao Xuan is actually half an action star and has filmed many action scenes.

After a long illness, he became qualified to do some martial arts coaching work after filming a lot, so he even discussed action design with Joss Whedon.

The plot is like this. The astronomer uses the Cosmic Cube to open the space door, Loki appears, and then fights Hawkeye and others.

Loki may not be able to beat Hawkeye based on pure combat power, but he attacked other people at the same time, which made Hawkeye scrupulous and unable to let go. In addition, he did not expect to have mind control, which led to his defeat and being defeated by others. control.

There is no problem in the process. Although it is a bit forcibly weakened by Hawkeye, it is understandable considering that Hawkeye has never encountered this kind of enemy.

But regarding the specific action design, Cao Xuan believed that the director's design was a bit too simple and illogical.

After Loki attacked first, Hawkeye fought back, and he used a gun instead of arrows, and Hawkeye was hung by Loki from beginning to end, which was not consistent with the character.

"Hawkeye is an agent with rich combat experience and has extremely strong combat literacy. When the space gate fluctuated so much, a man dressed in weird clothes came out.

He is not just a simple protector in front of everyone, he should also be extremely vigilant.

At the same time, Hawkeye is a warrior, and a warrior's weapon will never leave his hand. Especially during missions, it is impossible to use a low-power pistol instead of a bow, sword, and quiver.

Hawkeye cannot passively take a beating, he should counterattack as soon as Loki strikes.

It is also true to consider your comrades, but you cannot be led away. Only newcomers would make such mistakes.

The correct approach should be for Hawkeye to react quickly and attack Loki with all his strength. Only by killing the enemy can more people be saved.

If you have to let Hawkeye take action, you can start with Fury, who lets Hawkeye cover himself and expose his flaws, leading to his capture..."

Cao Xuan's outburst made Joss Whedon confused, but he had to admit that what Cao Xuan said made sense.

He just wanted to be quick and decisive at the beginning, to highlight Loki's early strength as a villain, but he weakened Hawkeye too much and even became a passerby.

If the Ace of SHIELD + Avengers heroes are so bad, then the subsequent scene of Hawkeye severely damaging SHIELD will not be logical.

"Cao, you are right, let's discuss it again."

Joss Whedon doesn't have the airs of a director, and he can't do it in front of Cao Xuan.

Moreover, Cao Xuan's suggestion is right. He also respects the views of professional action actors like Cao Xuan. In terms of action design and battle scene imagination, he is indeed inferior to Cao Xuan.

So the two of them held a temporary discussion meeting with several other main creators, and then Cao Xuan became the action director of this scene.

This is not the first time that Cao Xuan has served as an action director. He participated in a large number of action designs in the movie "Eagle Eye" before, and he is very familiar with it.

Even in the previous "Hurricane Rescue" series, although Cao Xuan was not an action director, he still provided a lot of opinions and designs. This is why he dared to speak up. He does have this ability.

He may be a little humble in front of the top martial arts directors in the country, but on the crew of "Avengers", he is confident that he is no worse than the genuine action director.

The special effects of "Avengers" are great, and even some of the stunts are good, but the fighting scenes are really average, at least in the early stages, it can even be described as "rough".

This is also the reason why Cao Xuan couldn't help but speak. After all, he is also a new generation of "kung fu superstar". It would be really embarrassing if the action scenes he shoots are not good-looking.

………

And Cao Xuan lived up to expectations and quickly let the crew know what true professionalism is.

After his design, although the actions and scenes have not changed much, they are much more murderous and fierce, and the overall picture feels more urgent and intense.

To use Director Fury's evaluation, it feels a bit like a real agent battle.

However, Cao Xuan himself is still a little dissatisfied, or his action style is actually not suitable for superhero movies.

Fierce and urgent fighting based on reality can give the audience a feeling of bloodshed and let the audience experience the reality and excitement of fighting.

But in the Marvel movies, Loki waved his scepter like this, sweeping away the shock wave, Hawkeye used [Qi] to fly arrows, piercing metal and breaking Qi. The scene may still be very hot, but it feels so real with punches to the flesh. It ceases to exist.

The opening scene of the movie takes less than five minutes, but it took four days to shoot, and director Joss Whedon was present throughout.

After the filming of the fight scene was completed, the assistant director was asked to take charge of other side shooting, and he watched the bickering between Captain America and Iron Man.

Cao Xuan, who was controlled by his mind, wore contact lenses with completely black pupils, adding a bit of evil spirit out of thin air.

The plot here is that after Hawkeye was controlled, he shot Fury but did not kill him. Fury realized the terror of Hawkeye and Loki and began to form the Avengers.

Hawkeye is the ace of S.H.I.E.L.D. and knows a lot of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s inside stories. He guessed what Fury would do and the two discussed the battle plan.

Loki asked curiously: "Are they a threat?"

Cao Xuan was expressionless: "Maybe alone, but if Fury lets them join forces, we will encounter a big trouble."

"You think highly of Fury?"

"He is a careful thinker and good at planning."

"Is this why you didn't kill him?"

Cao Xuan slowed down for a moment, his eyes fluctuated, and his expression changed slightly: "Maybe I'm not good at using guns."

This is a small foreshadowing, proving that Loki did not completely control Hawkeye and was always fighting in his heart. This is the reason why he did not kill Fury, which makes it more logical to completely get rid of control in the future.

Loki, who had his back turned to him, did not realize this change. Instead, he stubbornly refused to hide underground and was bent on causing trouble and becoming famous.

"It's risky, but if you insist, I can help you, sir."

Loki asked with interest: "How can I help?"

Hawkeye took out a black stick from the quiver behind his back, and with a slight shake, it turned into a recurve bow, and his eyes became dark.

"Blow them up."

The assistant director stopped and Cao Xuan put away the prop bow in his hand. Loki next to him couldn't help but look at him with envy.

Even though he is a villain, in the movie he is more of a show-off and gets slapped in the face.

He was deceived by Black Widow, bitten by Iron Man, bounced off Captain America, thrown and smashed by the Hulk, carried away by his brother, and shot several times by Hawkeye.

On the contrary, Cao Xuan was more domineering. He singled out Loki in the front, the Avengers in the middle, and finally worked together to repel the aliens. Even if he was controlled, he could not lose, but became more powerful.

Sometimes Loki can't help but ponder, who is the super villain of this movie...

Cao Xuan patted Loki on the shoulder and was a little happy. He finally chose Hawkeye. If he had chosen Loki, he would be the one who would be miserable.

The biggest advantage of group scenes is that each person does not have many roles to share, and they can also get some free time off from time to time during filming.

Cao Xuan took a break from his busy schedule and went to the Grammys to be an award presenter on Valentine's Day.

This year's Grammys are full of stars, including Lady Gaga, Miss Fruit, Eminem, and the now-hotly popular Justin Bieber.

Cao Xuan met this supernova in the world music scene on the red carpet. The media coaxed the two of them to be interviewed together.

Justin Bieber, who has not yet entered the rebellious stage, was full of admiration and excitement for Cao Xuan.

“When I was a kid, I listened to Cao’s Monsters and

"We Don't Talk Anymore," I can sing all the songs on "Legend," and he's one of the singers I admire the most. Oh my god, I'm so happy to see him today. "

Cao Xuan smiled and put his arms around the young man's shoulders. He was very satisfied with his answer and helped him play.

"I have been paying attention to his music. He is a talented child. My advice to him is to keep his original intention, not to be interfered by the outside world, and to explore his talents as much as possible. Maybe he will be the next king of the world."

Although Cao Xuan's words may sound like business bragging, his evaluation is still very high.

After all, no matter how popular Justin Bieber is, he is still just a teenager now, and his future is uncertain. Having a big man in the music industry praise him is also a kind of recognition.

Justin Bieber was so excited that he pestered Cao Xuan to take a photo and posted it on his social media with the text -

【With the best singer in the world! 】

Therefore, the child does not need to be praised and has a clear distinction between love and hate. Cao Xuan praised him a few times and regarded Cao Xuan as his close friend. He immediately helped Cao Xuan remove one of them, successfully causing a quarrel in the comment area.

【Cao is the best? Where to put Michael Jackson]

[Michael is no longer here. In terms of achievements, Cao is indeed the best in the world]

【No, no, no, Eminem is also number one】

[Eminem has several Billboard No. 1 hits, and he has several Grammys]

[Eminem’s single album sold 30 million copies]

[Sorry, Cao’s sales of "Legend" were 35 million, ranking first in sales in the second century]

[No one mentioned Kanye? 】

[He should go on a date with Kardashian instead of being the best in the world]

[I am not anyone’s fan. I think Cao is very strong and is one of the best male singers in the world at this stage, but he is not the best in the world. Of course, it will be difficult for others to reach the top]

[I agree with this buddy. Cao is the best pop singer, but he cannot be the undisputed best in the world]

[The top three in the world are no problem, the first place depends on who has more fans]

[Sorry, in terms of number of fans, I’m afraid no one can compare with Cao]

[Yes, you should be glad that this is the United States. If you were comparing the number of fans in Asia, there would be no need to discuss this topic at all]

[I am Irish and I can tell you responsibly that in Europe, it is difficult for anyone to have more fans than Cao]

[I don’t care, Cao is the best in the world]

[I envy Bieber, he can take photos with Cao, I also want to get this treatment]

[This man is really cool and meets all my good yearnings for the same sex]

【homosexual? Oh, sorry……】

【……】

Cao Xuan didn't know that he had just experienced a big discussion about singer status, and he didn't care even if he knew.

This situation has become more and more common in the past two years, but the discussion has never reached a conclusion. Everyone has their own preferences and different opinions, and he has long been used to it.

However, it is worth mentioning that Europe and the United States have a high regard for him, and he is a strong contender in active service. Even his ranking in historical status is not wrong.

On the contrary, in Asia and China, perhaps due to some psychology, his status is always lowered by half intentionally or unintentionally.

Even some small fans will deliberately distort the facts, saying that Cao Xuan is just a second-rate little singer abroad, and that the so-called King of the World is just marketing and hype.

Therefore, in the past two years, Cao Xuan’s domestic fans like to carry some discussions or interviews from abroad, and slap those anti-fans in the face, which can be regarded as a scene on the Chinese Internet.

Cao Xuan has also accumulated a lot of friends over the years. When he comes to Grammy, he can't stop reminiscing about old times and taking photos.

Let Cao Xuan be a young man on foreign social media. After all, Cao Xuan has not appeared in public in the United States for a while, and everyone looks fresh.

Cao Xuan himself also posted several photos on Twitter with his apprentices Taylor, Eminem, and Justin Bieber, with a "happy" emoticon, which attracted Cao Xuan's fans to crowd around.

When will the new movie be released?

When will the new album be released?

When will the concert be held?

Cao Xuan was convinced. Other fans were all in the age of peace and crazy about shooting rainbow farts. His fans were all Huang Shiren, who used small whips to force him to roll in every day...
