[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Robert immediately copied the script of "Wolverine 3", which has the aura of a masterpiece, and gave it to the company's senior management to read.

He had a premonition that this would cry to death.

The first superhero movie to be made in such a desolate and tragic style will be the first innovative step taken by Joey and Fox in the history of superhero movies.

It will also refresh all movie fans. It turns out that superhero movies can still play like this! ?

About three days later, all Fox executives got together, and they decided to discuss whether to use Joy's version of the script.

And after visually observing the faces of every high-level person present, Robert sighed deeply, as expected, all of them looked as if they were dead...

Everyone had a look of serious displeasure, and Robert suddenly felt that maybe this time, the opinions of the two high-level leaders could be unified, and let Wolverine die so heroically. Everyone seemed to agree. Joey's ending.

Because, Joey made this script so perfectly, it was so reasonable that it was impeccable, every frame and every second was full of FLAG, and when Wolverine died at the end, everyone took a long breath, as if they could feel to his relief.

"Ahem, I think, this script... How should I put it, it made me very uncomfortable after watching it, but after so many years of watching superhero movies, this script is the only one that makes me smell a kind of masterpiece."

"It's amazing that she wrote such...extreme script."

"It's not a superhero at all, I think it's the life of the tragic Arthurian legend."

"It's refreshing. I admire her height and courage for daring to shoot like this."

Robert was not wrong in his prediction. As soon as the script was released, it immediately aroused the collective shock of the Fox executives.

Presumably, it will shock the executives of all Hollywood film companies in the near future. It turns out that superhero movies can still be made like this?

The female director who has proven her godhood in "Ghost in the Shell" has now decided to make a movie that kills all superheroes like this.

admire.

Then, almost without any dissenting voices, Fox executives all passed Joey's version of the script.

Fox has been filming X-Men for more than ten years, and each of the previous ones strictly followed the iron law of superhero movies, that is, from the beginning to the end, justice will surely defeat evil, but never thought that one day they would film justice being abused Dead X-Men.

Not only Fox, but there is no superhero series in Hollywood that would shoot like this.

This "Wolverine 3" not only shocked Fox, but it will surely shock all comic movies in the future, and even affect the route and style of super-English movies.

Joey opened up another shooting route and vision for superhero movies.

At this time, Joy was at her home in Beverly Hills. She received a call from Fox, and Robert told her personally, "Dear Grant, I am very happy to tell you that your script has moved us all."

Joey took a pen and turned it around in his hand, "Does this mean that I can shoot according to my own ideas?"

"Yes, we are very much looking forward to your making this movie. To be honest, I look forward to the birth of another comic-changing masterpiece from your hands."

Joey responded embarrassingly: "I'm even embarrassed to say that, I think I can only do my best."

"Okay, come to Fox when you have time, let's discuss the specific plan for the shooting schedule."

After hanging up the phone, Joey stared at the phone for a while, and Tom, who was sitting on the sofa, kept flipping through Joey's script.

To be honest, if the reaction of the entire Fox executives to this script was shock, Tom's reaction was: Joey is just playing at a normal level.

There is no second manga director in this world who can reach the height of her understanding and creation of manga works, even Christopher Nolan.

Joy is a natural director of comic adaptations. Her characteristics, skills, and strength preferences are all the most suitable for filming comic adaptation movies.

Joey walked behind Tom, rubbed his fluffy hair with his hands, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say after reading this script?"

Tom grinned happily and said, "I was thinking, you are so good at writing scripts, or I will leave my film selection to you in the future? You can help me screen the films."

It was rare for Joey to laugh at him contemptuously, "As far as your vision of film selection is concerned, you really should learn from others."

Tom pursed his lips in obvious dissatisfaction, then turned around to face Joey, and said in a very serious tone: "Do you really think that my vision in film selection is not good?"

Joey smiled and said, "Do you think what I said is false? If your eyes are always on the line when choosing films, how could you make "The Spy War" and "Assassination of Hitler"... Your level of film selection is always the same. It's going up and down...you have to learn that from Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon."

Tom raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I have to humbly ask you for advice?"

"Of course, why don't you show me all the films handed to you in the future." Joey turned around and smiled softly, then walked upstairs.

Tom saw her walk away and yelled something behind her, "Hey, honey, but to be honest, you wrote a really good script for Wolverine 3."

Joey walked under the stairs and smiled back at him, "Since you like it so much, do you want to come and play a cameo?"

Tom spread his hands helplessly, "You know, it's not for me."

*****

The casting of Wolverine was all done by Fox. Anyway, the main character remains the same. The only new main character is Wolverine's "daughter", the little loli.

Fox also had his own choice for this role, and Joey didn't have any objections.

So after Fox prepared for a period of time, the filming of "Wolverine 3" officially started.

Joey met Hugh Jackman, who had just met not long ago, on the set.When he saw Joey's first words, he said to Joey with a very moved expression: "I have read the script many times, thank you for giving Logan a perfect ending."

Joey smiled, "We have already reached a consensus that this is the best ending for Wolverine."

Hugh Jackman said again: "I don't just refer to Wolverine, but also the last part of this entire series. You gave the most suitable ending tone."

Joey shook his head very modestly, "No, the biggest soul of this story is actually you, Hugh."

Hugh Jackman jokingly said: "I think after filming, I can finally eat three burgers in one go."

Joey smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Many scenes of "Wolverine 3" are real shots, so after the prop masters and scene designers finished setting up the scenes, the first scene will finally start shooting.

But many of the staff present at the moment didn't know what kind of superhero movie Joey planned to shoot, which caused most of the staff to be stunned after the filming started for a while.

The reason they were stunned was not that Joey made any big moves, but that Joey didn't make any big moves at all.

Because what does a superhero movie mean in the minds of most filmmakers?

It means: strange superpowers, powerful new weapons, a world at stake, heroes and villains fighting together, a huge army of soy sauce, dazzling laser beams and energy fields, all kinds of traffic that are smashed into scrap iron and blown up to the sky Tools, ruined city buildings...

This is the superhero world that every viewer, movie fan, and filmmaker envisions, and that's exactly what every superhero movie in the world does.

Cool visual effects are the foundation of a superhero movie.

But, Joey doesn't have it here.

This is a bleak movie, with only a dark vision, an atmosphere of twilight, and emotions of sadness and vicissitudes.

Yellow sand in the desert, a lonely hero.

It seems to have returned to the westerns and road movies of the 70s in the United States.

Visually, it is basically back to basics, all those cool visual colors and special effects are gone, and the visual tone of the whole movie is basically muddy and dirty.

All the colors are colors that make people feel unhappy, unhappy, and depressed.It seems to tell the audience that unfortunate things will happen at any time.

This is too far from other superhero movies that are glamorous, technological, and bright...

Even the prop master was very surprised that in the budget of the film, the biggest battle scene in the whole film turned out to be just a scene of chasing cars in the wilderness. Moderate cutscenes.

At best, it can be regarded as a cutscene, let alone the final battle, which must be a colorful, technologically rich, bombing scene.

But "Wolverine 3" doesn't have that kind of big scene at all, and Joey doesn't plan to shoot any big scenes at all. Its biggest scene is this one that is at most a cutscene in other comic blockbusters. A car chase.

That's amazing, isn't it?All the staff present were really basically the first time they saw a director making a superhero movie like this.

At present, there are only three mainstream comic-adapted movies.Fox, Warner, Disney.

Dominant Disney (Marvel series): harmless to humans and animals + visual bombing;

Controversial Warner (DC series): Suffering and deep + visual bombing;

Uncertain Fox (X-Men series): homosexuality + visual bombing.

You see, in such a summary, visual bombing is definitely a must-have quality for a comic book.

However, this is the final chapter of the older generation of Fox's X-Men series, which belongs to the uncertain weather. It should have a larger investment, larger scenes, stronger blasting, cooler visuals, and more dazzling skills than the previous ones.

But no, it doesn't have all those dazzling powers and gimmicks, and it doesn't have an ambitious plot to destroy the world or a responsibility to save the world.

There are only - in the desolate and lonely wilderness, the only one Wolverine has to help is his close relatives, and the only one he has to get over is his sinking self.

This can be called a clear stream in the comic film industry!

It's amazing, Joey wants to tell everyone that even if it's a superhero sequel, it doesn't always have to have bigger scenes, more dazzling weapons, and more explosive special effects.You can return to the basics, you can be depressed, because this is also the law of nature.

It's just that there has never been a super-English movie made like this. Is Joey sure that the audience can accept it?

I always feel that the audience will be suffocated to vomit blood...

In addition to the back-to-basics on the screen, this movie has another characteristic, that is Dugu.

Joey shot every shot of this movie so lonely and sentimental, which made people collapse.

This kind of loneliness is often seen in American westerns and road movies, and this kind of loneliness also makes this superhero commercial film feel like a drama.

Several make-up artists who were chatting while watching the scene suddenly became frightened after watching the filming of "Wolverine 3" for a few days.

"You know what? I've seen every X-Man before, but I've never felt like this."

"What does it feel like? Is it this kind of crushing feeling? I followed the shooting for a few days, and I felt that my whole body was going to collapse... This movie is so lonely."

"In the past, when I watched a fork boy, no matter how the world fell apart, no matter how powerful the villain was, no matter how unfavorable the situation was, or even how blackened Jean was irreversible, I never worried. Because I knew that the fork boy would always get everything done. .But this time, I'm really worried..."

"Me too. I never thought that Joey Grant would shoot Wolverine like this. If I wasn't the audience, I would be suffocated to death. What would the audience think?"

The make-up artist's eyes turned to the shooting location, and everyone's eyes were fixed on that old and dejected Wolverine.

He is no longer domineering, one hits ten, he lives with humility, running around day and night, earning money depends on the face of drug dealers, he doesn't even have the confidence to bargain, and he misses it when he is beaten up by hooligans Or "don't scratch my car"...

In such a big environment, it is conceivable what kind of life the few remaining mutants live. Their self-healing ability has been seriously degraded, and they are suffering from injuries and erosion of Edman metal; Professor X, who is over ninety years old, suffers from "Alzheimer's disease", was imprisoned in a sealed water tower to spend his days, but he had the strongest brain, and he would hurt others and himself from time to time when he got sick; there was also Caliban, whose superpowers were in vain, who lived without sunshine all day long. Working as a full-time nanny.

Hugh Jackman looks like he is dying most of the time.

Old and lonely, just like the temperament of this movie.

And Hugh Jackman is fantastic again, a role that has covered his entire career.He is using his best acting skills to perform this closing work.

Joey sometimes even said to other staff members: "I really think he deserves an Oscar, why don't you let Fox operate it?"

She could sense Hugh Jackman's lackluster, organic performance this time.He didn't even have a blueprint, he played it all on his own, because he was Wolverine.

He fully showed all the characteristics of Wolverine, sadness, despair, anger, his beard is shaggy, his face is pale, his eyes are blood red, his movements are slow, and he doesn't care about anything. Yes, you read that right, this is once That indomitable Wolverine.

His greatest wish now is to buy a boat to escape from all this, and spend his old age peacefully with Professor X.

At this time, Joey was preparing a scene with the staff.

Joy set up the camera in a place she thought was suitable, and explained a few words to the photographer, and then, the fight scene in the hotel was about to begin.

Several actors are already in place, just waiting for Joey to say the beginning.

The staff present didn't know what Joey wanted to film this scene, they only knew that it was a fighting scene that took place in a hotel.

Fighting scenes are basically shot like that in superhero movies, fast and sharp photography and editing methods, and the actors' crisp fist movements. After all, these are the cool points of commercial movies.

They thought they would see such a play.

but.

This fight scene is surprisingly slow.Hugh Jackman, every time he fights, he can't do what he wants, he is beaten to blood, he is thrown dizzy, he is beaten...

In short, he only recovered his life by staggering.

The tempo is really insanely slow.

In superhero fighting scenes, only Joey can drag the rhythm to such a level.

This is definitely the "slowest" action scene in the history of superhero movies, and it will also be a milestone action scene.

However, its effect is also obvious.

Everyone can feel the unprecedented sadness.

This will also make the audience more and more frustrated: the angry, violent, ageless, unyielding, and fearless Wolverine, who is ready to fight for [-] rounds with his claws, is now in worrying health and has no fighting spirit. He just wants to be a driver , Receive a few orders for express trains, and save enough money to buy a boat for the elderly.

Damn it, is Joey Grant as good at shooting superheroes as you are?You are trying to kill the audience in the cinema!

However, Joey's ability is far more than that.

She made the saddest superhero movie, but you can't see any accurate, emotional points in the movie.

She was quite restrained.

The restraint even made the assistant director a little worried. He wanted to remind Joey several times, "Director, look, is our film too restrained? We should touch more of those points of the audience."

Joey asked him, "What are the points that touch the audience, you mean the sensational points?"

"That's right, our tone is so sad, we should be more emotional to make it more tearful."

Joy smiled nonchalantly, she never seemed to think it was a problem, "In my movies, there is never the word sensational, if you go to watch those sensational blockbusters on the market, it is inevitable that they are too crafty evaluation of."

Including Steven Spielberg, he is indeed a master of sensationalism, but there will always be a label of too much craftsmanship in his evaluation.

"The highest level of sensationalism is restraint." She told this sentence to the assistant director, "From your experience in the industry, you should be able to understand this sentence. This is the principle I have always made in movies."

Joy never makes sensational blockbusters, because she always believes that the highest level of sensationalism is restraint.

Therefore, in "Wolverine 3", whether it is the relationship between Professor X and Wolverine's father and son, or the relationship between Professor X and Laura (X-23), there is no deliberate sensationalism, and it is completely rendered through details, expressing restraint restrained.

Moreover, Joey had already thought about it. In the last shot, that is, the shot where Wolverine died, the shooting angle remained silent, and there was not even a little music rendering.

So... During the entire pre-shooting period, the people on and off the crew were holding back their energy...

Everyone is holding back, scratching their hearts and lungs so uncomfortable...!

When filming every day, everyone has a look of displeasure written on their faces, and everyone is suffocating, as if someone owed them money.

They were really going to be suffocated by Joey.

However, all the emotional flashpoints suddenly exploded collectively in a certain scene on a certain day.

That is the last fighting scene of the entire movie, the scene where Wolverine takes his "daughter" to fight to the death.

In this scene, Joey suddenly seemed to go crazy, and the filming was extremely violent, bloody, and hearty.

When the knife sees blood, it kills people like hemp.The knife must hit the stomach, and the blood must hit the face.

Countless remains and severed limbs, Bai Sensen's bones must be seen in the blood plasma, Wolverine's claws must be thrust, thrust, thrust, and then smashed hard.

At this moment, all the emotions accumulated in the repressed scenes in the early stage were greatly released and satisfied through the hearty fighting and killing with revenge fireworks.

Perhaps this is Joey's purpose.

Restraint, restraint, restraint to the point of unbearable, ushered in a blowout explosion.

The perception of the audience is the same.

Therefore, in this scene, restraint to the extreme, this ushered in the biggest explosion of the entire X-Men series!

The rough and bloody strength, and the tragic and tearful feelings are perfectly integrated at this moment.

This is Joey's purpose, either to make people suffocate in restraint, or to make people explode in restraint.

This is the hottest explosion, the biggest climax, and the most shocking revenge fireworks in all the X-Men series!

When the audience sees this passage, they will definitely be thrilled to death, so excited that they will fly to the sky.Because the staff present at the moment are already too happy.

"Damn it, it's so cool!"

"After holding it in for so long, I'm finally happy with your sister!"

"Uncle Wolf, break out, kill those people, I really don't want to see you die."

It’s no good, I didn’t even see the finished film. Just following Joey Grant to make a film on the spot, they were almost killed by Joey, not to mention the audience sitting in the cinema watching the finished film.

Sometimes he was suffocated to death, sometimes he was so excited, and sometimes he burst into tears, because Uncle Wolf hung up immediately after the fun, and the audience probably went crazy.

Yeah, that's one of those superhero movies that Joey Grant didn't make as a superhero movie at all, but made it into a brutal, bleak western road movie like No Country for Old Men.

A special type of film in the field of superheroes.

Dark, violent and heartrending, "Wolverine 3" is a heart-pounding dose without curveballs or flattery.

Joey throws clichés and fucks aside, digging and embracing the brutal, violent, hardcore nature with open arms.

The filming of "Wolverine 3" has not been completed, but according to Joey's habit of doing it while shooting, in fact, part of the post-production special effects has also been done.

But at this time, Fox and the group of troublemakers obviously couldn't bear the loneliness again. They thought hard about how to defeat Warner and Disney and make "Wolverine 3" a big news.

In the end, Fox racked its brains and came up with a cheating trick: Since our "Wolverine 3" is such a bad style, and it is such an unprecedented and groundbreaking special type of film, why don't we let the fans know in advance that we are Such a dick exists.

That's right, let the fans know from now on that our movie is not good, let them start looking forward to it now, and let the gimmicks out now to whet the appetite.

Okay, okay, since we want to make a gimmick, the style of our movie is a gimmick, so we must make good use of it.

So, Fox decided to make an advance trailer first.

It's not an official trailer, it's a pre-release trailer. Unlike the very official trailer, this pre-release trailer is more of a fan benefit.

Fans can spoil some plots, pictures, scenes, menus, benefits, etc. through this preview, which can be regarded as a kind of warm-up in advance.

Since "Wolverine 3" is so sad, let's make a black and white version of the advance welfare trailer.

Because there are too many blockbuster comics to be released this year, such as "The Avengers", "Captain America", "The Amazing Spider-Man" and so on, Fox can't let "Wolverine 3" fall behind.

So, after the discussion was over, the matter of the preview version was finalized.

******

Pauline Kyle's son Peter happened to be on vacation at the university today. He took his mobile phone and began to refresh the webpage, and walked out of the school gate to go home.

He habitually browses video websites, because there are many fresh videos on YouTube every day, especially some up masters he follows, who always upload very funny videos.

He also pays attention to YouTube's video hit list every day.Today, when he pulled the interface to the YouTube daily hit list, his fingers suddenly froze.

God, what did he see?

"Wolverine 3" pre-release trailer.

It is a video released by Fox X-Men's official YouTube account.

What the hell is this?But no matter what the hell it is, he must watch it, because this video has only been uploaded for a few hours, and the number of hits has already exceeded [-] million, soaring to the top of the daily hit list.

There are tens of thousands of comments below, Peter has not had time to pay attention, he first opened the first version of the trailer.

This first version of the trailer made Peter completely unexpected, and Peter was caught off guard.

This is a completely black and white trailer, like a lament.

Are you sure he read it right?Is this a superhero movie?

A gray-bearded Wolverine and an aging Professor X?

Also, what is the background of this sandy sky? Shouldn’t superhero stories take place in those colorful and bizarre metropolises on the West Bank or East Bank?

Why the story of "Wolverine 3" takes place on the border between the United States and Mexico, a small town full of sand and stones, lifeless.

Soothing and atmospheric shots, real blood and flesh, countless body parts and vulgar language, the whole trailer exudes an endless and heart-wrenching violence and serious theme.

This kind of wonderful chemical reaction makes this movie, which doesn't even have any fancy visuals, show a feeling of American westerns in the 70s.

Yes, speaking of special effects.

This is the first time I saw a superhero movie trailer without any dazzling special effects...

What is this doing?

However, although there were no special effects, this energy was strong, and an energy that came out of nowhere rose in Peter's heart, depressing, angry, and sad.

This energy ran wildly in his chest, but he couldn't find any outlet to vent it.

A downright lackluster movie.

Desolation, anxiety, wild primitive desire.

Great, is Joey Grant really serious this time?

She completely subverted the inherent type and style of superhero movies, and the first superhero movie director in history who completely disdained any cool special effects was born.

This is not a Marvel-style fast food work, without ubiquitous humorous jokes and stunning visual effects, without talking ducks or ancient evil gods, this is a road movie with a western style, and a movie about mutants "Western World".

However, the most shocking thing is far more than these.

When Peter saw the last shot, in black and white, the grave of Wolverine stood there...

Like the quicksilver's grave and the death of Professor X that flashed before the trailer, when it all intertwined...

Suddenly Peter's legs went limp, and he knelt down in the alley.

He didn't do it on purpose, he really had a weak leg.However, is this destined to kneel down to Joey Grant after watching this trailer?

If a superhero movie really dares to shoot all the heroes to death, what else can it not do?

It is not a masterpiece, what else could it be?

In any case, as a fan, he has only one feeling.

The sense of panic before a masterpiece is about to be born.

This is absolutely... the biggest earthquake in the history of superhero movies!
