Vol 2 Chapter 569: Easter eggs

"Compared to the female vampire in "Underworld", my character is still a normal person."
Scarlett Johansson was standing next to Duke after putting on makeup, watching the busy debugging equipment of other departments of the crew, and it seemed that some of the chattering problems in the past had to look up, "Selena is almost a thousand years old, Nata. Sha Normanoff is less than a hundred years old."
She grinned and said to Duke, "Why do I have to set my role so old?"
Duke didn't bother to talk to her, he didn't even turn his head.
"Is it now popular for female characters like Serena?" Scarlett seemed to be muttering to herself, her voice could be heard by Duke, "Selina went the cold route, with Natasha? Manoff’s style is different."
"That's right." Duke finally said, "Natasha Normanoff and Serena are two completely different roles."
Probably because I heard Duke’s tone seriously, Scarlett Johansson also changed his attitude to discussing work, "My role is a close combat master..."
"Not quite right, Scarlett." Duke was discussing the role with her at all. "Natasha Normanoff is not a close combat master, but a master killer. She has received rigorous training in the former Soviet Union. , What she learned is deadly"◇, offensive ability, she also fought side by side with Captain America on the battlefield of World War II, and had seen enough cruelty and blood..."
Unlike the former agent Natasha Normanoff, Duke adopted a comic description in her character setting.
Like Steve Rogers, Natasha Normanov, who was once tested by the former Soviet Union and Hydra, is also an immortal monster.
Of course, Duke still uses certain elements that he loves to hear, such as Natasha Normanoff who will molest many of the next superheroes.
but. This female agent adheres to a basic principle-that love is a child's trick-there will be no emotional scenes that are too to be seen directly.
The filming still had some time to start, and Scarlett stood beside Duke and discussed some questions about the role and the film with him.
Duke also told her directly, "Scarlett, your role is as deadly as your nickname."
"Are you sure such a female character will be welcomed?"
Hearing Scarlett’s question, Duke said briefly. "How many people don't like action scenes with beautiful and women?"
"Yes, Angelina Jolie's "Tomb of the Lost City" and Kate Beckinsale's "Underworld" are okay." Scarlett seemed to have thought of something, and said, "I heard that DC Comics and Warner The brothers also intend to make a live-action movie of "Wonder Woman."
"Not for the time being." Duke shook his head, "I vetoed it."
Scarlett knew Duke's right to speak in the dc comics series, and couldn't help but wondered, "Why?"
"Because Anna Prinz is different from Laura Kraft, Serena and Natasha Normanoff, she has too much feminist color."
Having said that, Duke briefly explained a few words. "Why did Anna Prinz become the most famous female superhero? Not only because of her early appearance, but also because of the feminist label that she can't erase."
"But, her cartoons are very popular." Scarlett continued.
Duke put his arms around his chest and continued to explain the reason, "Comics and movies are completely different carriers, and the effect of the latter is more direct and shocking. Although female audiences are on the rise, even in some love or light comedy movies. Can account for About 60% of the market share, but the scale of investment in superhero movies has determined that female audiences alone cannot support the market."
"How to deal with Anna Prinz’s feminist thoughts and speeches will be a big problem." Duke added, "If you move closer to the comic setting, you will inevitably lose a lot of male audiences. But give up the feminist color, comic fans and those Feminist organizations will probably cause a lot of trouble."
"Are you going to give up the movie version of "Wonder Woman"?" Scarlett seemed a bit unwilling.
Duke shook his head. "It's not about giving up, it's just that the time period is not right now, there will be opportunities in the future."
Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment. With the continuous rise of the feminist movement, nowadays, the feminist movies that are not seen in the mainstream market are not recruited. The future is bound to change.
Strictly speaking, "Wonder Woman" is indeed the most difficult to shoot among the three giants of justice. Its difficulty is even greater than that of "Superman." Anna Prinz’s demigod identity will first affect the sense of substitution. Thoughts and language above men are more in conflict with this patriarchal society.
"Ready."
The voice of the assistant director's notification interrupted Duke's thoughts. He nodded to Scarlett Johansson and walked back to the director's monitor.
Scarlett Johansson, wearing a tight-fitting agent suit, found action director Jimmy Carter, and he was mainly responsible for the next action scene.
This part of the scene is not complicated. It is about the final battle when Agent Colson wanted to take someone to arrest Obadiah Stan. He was attacked by the opponent's'Iron Overlord'. After Iron Man rushed to support, he was attacked. The opponent’s mercenary team was besieged, and Natasha Normanov, who was undercover in Stark’s company, arrived in time, killed and defeated the mercenaries in close combat, and rescued Pepper Poz and Cole. Agent Sen.
Shooting soon began. Like all action scenes, this fight scene by Natasha Normanoff was disassembled into countless fragments. The long shot was only a dozen seconds, and the short shot was only a few seconds. The action scenes in the film, apart from the actors' prior training and drills, rely more on later editing.
Whether it is a Hong Kong movie or a Hollywood action movie, the action scenes that have not undergone action editing are basically fake and terrible.
Jimmy Carter steals from Yuan Heping and integrates some of Hong Kong's action elements into modern combat. After several movies, he gradually matures. He combines the characteristics of comics and specially tailored some sharp shots for Scarlett. Direct fighting techniques.
There is nothing fancy in Natasha Normanoff's action scenes. All her shots are aimed at killing the enemy. The various equipment she is equipped with are all carefully crafted killing weapons suitable for close combat by the props.
According to the general principle, if this fighting method does not match the heavy taste scene of the blood, the effect in the shot is actually not good, but this film is absolutely impossible to be blood, otherwise the pg-13 rating will definitely be lost. If the film is rated as r-rated, it will lose a lot of young audiences.
But at the end of the day of filming, Duke simply edited these shots and found that, as he expected, Natasha Normanoff’s action scenes were full of appeal. If it weren’t for too few scenes, it might even steal the protagonist. Tony Stark's limelight.
The reason is very, very simple. Those fierce fighting methods seem simple, and they don't seem to be of much appreciation, but when the person who used them was Scarlett Johansson, everything changed.
How pleasing is it for a and beautiful woman to use an extremely fierce technique to shuttle and attack among enemies that are several times larger?
In Duke's view, Scarlett Johansson is enough to make many teenagers with strong hormone secretion have nosebleeds.
Of course, only a few of these action scenes were done by Scarlett himself.
In fact, it is very simple to distinguish. All the shots with clear facial close-ups were done by Scarlett Johansson. Those shots on the back, sides, and long hair covering the face were all done by two substitutes.
And among the two avatars, there is also a male avatar whose back is very similar to Scarlett, who is responsible for completing those particularly difficult movements.
When the film was released, those male audiences drooling at Scarlett Johansson’s back would not have thought that the object of their fantasy at that moment was simply a man.
But this is the movie, this is the magical effect brought by the movie.
Although several months of preliminary preparations were made, Scarlett did not have many roles. This movie is called "Iron Man", not "Black Widow". She is just one of the key figures that connect the Avengers together.
In this episode, apart from Natasha Normanoff, Agent Colson and their boss Nick Fury, some lines of Tony Stark will also mention the past of his father. , For example, Howard Stark not only fought side by side with Steve Rogers, but also was a good friend with him...
However, this is just the beginning of the big series. Many things are only mentioned briefly, and will not be explained too much. After all, there will be a series of films to be shot and produced.
After shooting for about ten days, Scarlett Johansson's play gradually came to an end.
The set was completely dark, the light before dawn shone through the window, and Scarlett Johansson stood beside Samuel Jackson in the Cyclops.
"Mr. Stark, do you think you are the only superhero in the world?"
Facing his question, Robert Downey Jr. turned his eyes to Scarlett Johansson, "I never thought so. Isn't there a female superhero standing beside you?"
He changed into an angry expression, "Why are you going to my company to be an undercover agent? Who are you?"
"I am a person worthy of your trust." Scarlett Johansson looked straight at him, as if trying to find someone's shadow, but finally gave up and said, "I and your father Howard Stark Fought side by side with Captain America Steve Rogers..."
"How is this possible?" Tony Stark was a little surprised.
Scarlett gave him a few photos, which showed a big green man going crazy on the ice sheet. "When we were tracking him, we found a plane under the glacier. We need your help and you need to wear a steel suit Go deep into the ice and save your father's life and death!"
There is no doubt that this is an easter egg prepared by Duke for the film. (To be continued...)
