Senior Superstar

Chapter 932

For Oscar, Li Shixin is still very interested.

May I ask which man is so handsome that he doesn't want to keep a statuette on his bookshelf?

Hearing the news of Oscar nomination from Zhao Jinzhi, Li Shixin was in a great mood.

But he was in no rush to announce the news.

It is early March.

According to the Oscar process, after the jury confirms the nominations, it will notify the shortlisted film teams in advance to prepare, but there may be some changes in the future. Therefore, the official announcement time is generally in mid-March.

Li Shixin is not in a hurry for those ten days or eight days. Now that the role of the clown has been obtained, Li Shixin thinks that the adaptation is likely to be finalized, and the Oscar will not be held until the end of March.

The most urgent thing right now is the upcoming Strange 2.

After making a simple plan for himself, Li Shixin threw himself into the preparations for the shooting.

Marvel’s superheroes are actually quite simple and crude in terms of storytelling. Whether it’s Spider-Man or Iron Man, the routine is the same; Superman, and meet the villains who want to destroy the city/world, and finally use your own ability to defeat the villains and save the world.

To put it nicely, popcorn movies.

To put it bluntly, in terms of storytelling, Marvel's live-action movies can't keep up with domestic web literature.

The script of Strange 2 basically continues this routine.

In the first part, Stephen inherited the career of the ancient mage, and dragged Dormammu into an infinite loop of time and space by means of the levitation cloak, magic and the eye of Agamotto, preventing Dormammu from invading the earth's evil plan.

The story of the second part unfolds with the theft of the Eye of Agamotto, which is the time gem.

The Eye of Agamotto was mysteriously lost, which terrified Doctor Strange and his team. This magical magic weapon can not only see everything and know everything, but it also has another very important function-opening the entrance to the multiverse and manipulating the timeline.

More importantly, before Stephen failed to inherit Agamotto, the previous supreme mages used this sacred object to defeat many villains who tried to disrupt the world, and imprisoned them in an infinite loop of time and space.

If someone uses the Eye of Agamotto to release these people, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the world.

In this way, Doctor Strange, Wang and others began to search for the lost Eye of Agamotto according to the few clues.

According to the clues found at the scene of the disappearance of the gem, everyone determined that the person who stole the gem used a spell called Sword Control to bypass the magic guard.

And this kind of spell belongs to Shushan.

Doctor Strange and his entourage found Shushan, but found that it had long since fallen, and had conflicts with Shoushan, the only surviving descendant of Shushan.

After learning about the intentions of the crowd, Shou Shan said that the art of controlling the sword has long been lost.

In order to retrieve the inheritance of Shushan's swordsmanship, Shoushan joined Doctor Strange and his party.

Just as everyone was going down the mountain, an accident happened in the British Royal Museum.

A mysterious old man broke into the museum, killed dozens of guards effortlessly, and took away a sword displayed in the museum.

Seeing the sword in the news, Doctor Strange realized that something was wrong-a groove on the hilt of the sword was exactly the same as the stolen Eye of Agamotto.

Through the museum, everyone learned about the origin of the sword. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a natural vision, evil spirits invaded, and monks from various sects united to prevent a catastrophe, and this sword was the magic weapon that sealed the evil spirits back then.

Following the breath of the sword, everyone finally found the thief after several twists and turns.

Shou Shan was surprised to find that this person was very similar to Li Chungang, the last head of Shushan.

After a fight, everyone lost.

And the old man also revealed his true identity—it was Li Chungang himself.

It turned out that in that battle, the monks of various factions lost to the evil spirits. In the end, Penglai and Shushan merged their respective magical weapons, the demon-suppressing sword and the open sky eye. void.

But at the time of Shattering the Void, the people of Shushan were fighting with demons. In the chaos, Li Chungang's junior sister Xuan Qing was sucked into the void along with the demon.

Afterwards, Li Chungang became the head of Shushan.

Unable to accept the truth that each faction sacrificed one person to save all the people, Li Chungang resigned as the head of the sect and lived in the world.

This time to snatch back the Eye of Agamotto, that is, the Eye of Heaven and the Sword of Suppressing Demons, in order to open the rift in time and space again and save the junior sister Xuan Qing.

During hundreds of years of wandering and self-exile, Li Chungang's mentality has long been extreme. He did not hesitate to destroy the world and rescue Xuan Qing.

Telling the cause and effect, Li Chungang's sword pierced the void and opened the time-space rift.

Seeing that the devil trapped in the void is about to come, Doctor Strange uses magic again to drag Li Chungang into the time loop.

But with the blessing of the time gem and the demon-suppressing sword, he can use the rules of time as he wishes, and Li Chungang has the advantage.

Just when Doctor Strange was about to receive his lunch box, Xuan Qing, whom Li Chungang had been looking for, appeared in the time loop.

While Li Chungang was looking for Xuanqing, Doctor Strange used magic to separate the Zhenyao Sword from the Time Stone, and took back the stone.

Knowing that Xuanqing has merged with the time rift and could not return to the wishing world, Li Chungang broke through all magic with a sword, sealed the evil spirits that intended to invade the world through the time rift, and bought time for Doctor Strange to escape and seal the time rift .

Doctor Strange saves the world once again, and that's the end of the story.

Throughout the whole story, the character of Li Chungang is not a pure villain.

But it does do the job of destroying the world.

Li Shixin is still satisfied with the script revised by Marvel.

Although the playing time is not much, but the role is still relatively heavy.

It can be said that the entire story line of Strange 2 is pursuing the experience and trajectory of the character Li Chungang.

He is also very pleased with the setting of this tragic villain.

Especially the character beliefs.

The same is putting people to death. It is benevolence to sacrifice one person to save all people. Why is it cruel to harm all people for one person?

This character is not purely bad, it's just that he can't get around his obsession.

Grasping this core, the characters are not difficult to interpret.

In the next few days, Li Shixin finished figuring out the role.

And arrived at the crew after receiving the notice.

Before Li Shixin, Strange 2 has been filmed for more than a month, and Li Chungang's story line is the last part of the film.

Unlike Li Shixin's previous works, most of the filming of Strange 2 is without real scenes.

Before the green screen, Li Shixin felt a little awkward doing all kinds of middle school moves.

But seeing the familiarity of the other leading actors in the crew, Li Shixin also went all out.

As long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassment is the later stage!

With this belief, the next shooting can be described as smooth sailing.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

As Li Shixin finished filming on the crew of Strange 2, there was also definite news from Oscar's side.

In addition to receiving the news that The Silence of the Lambs was confirmed to be shortlisted, Li Shixin also received an official contact from the Oscars - asking him to make an appearance.

Hearing the news, Li Shixin, who had just finished filming and lost three to four catties, curled his lips.

Generally speaking, as long as the award ceremony tells you that you must attend, it means that there is at least one award!

This wave is steady!
