Once Upon a Time In Hollywood-Chapter 444: Three treasures for one child
Chapter 444 One Birth Three Treasures
"What? Change the script?"
Looking at the thick stack of scripts handed over by Kevin Fitch, Roland could tell at a glance that there were at least three or more of them, although the industry standard is one page per minute, one movie script Generally, it is about 120 pages, but there is a big difference between a finished film and a draft, because no one can guarantee that what you write can be read once.
But well...
As a capitalist who should be hanged on the street lamp in the hearts of ordinary people, Roland will not consider other people's workload after paying the money.
Will the screenwriter go bald or vomit blood for the creation?
This kind of thing has nothing to do with Roland!
And last year, Kevin Fitch was appointed as the president of Marvel Pictures, and he gave general guidance on the follow-up creation, requiring Kevin Fitch to make the plot of "X-Men 2" take over from "X-War In the case of the content in "Police", Kevin Feige should not have doubts during the creation process.
But when "X-Men 2" was about to start filming, the helmsman of the team actually came to ask his boss for advice with a notebook?
This behavior really confused Roland.
So, he asked: "Kevin? Didn't we set the main tone of the script last year?
Why do you have problems again this year? "
It seemed that he saw the boss's confusion, but it was more like wanting to vent his difficulties, so after Roland asked, Kevin Fitch nodded decisively and said, "Yes, regarding the direction of script creation, We really nailed it last year.
And this development has never bothered us.
Our real problem is based on the extension in the general direction. "
After hearing what Kevin Feige said, Roland immediately frowned, "Extension in the general direction? You are talking about the plot development of "X-Men 2", which may have a certain impact on our previous sequel plan. impact?"
"Yeah!" Finding that the boss understood, Kevin Fitch nodded decisively.
After getting the confirmation from the dead bald head, Roland, who didn't want to take care of things, couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly: "Tell me carefully."
No way, as the only mature movie universe in Roland's hands, Roland doesn't want it to have any problems.
Especially now, when Kevin Feige is very ambitious and wants to mix mutants and Avengers together.
After getting Roland's approval, Kevin Fitch stopped hiding, cleared his throat and said, "Boss, according to our previous idea, the second part of "X-Men" is a direct To undertake the plot of the first part.
In the first part, the core appeal of the protagonist Wolverine is not to destroy the evil conspiracy of Magneto, but to retrieve his own memory, but he was accidentally involved by the little rascal while retrieving the past. Magneto’s plan for the co-evolution of all mankind, so when Magneto was arrested, at the beginning of the second part, it was about Wolverine going to the address given by Professor X, going to the military base, and looking for the things he might have left behind. trace.
We will spend a minute describing the desolation in the base, and then describing Wolverine's regret.
And when he stared at the ruins and sighed, the seemingly damaged and useless camera on the side faithfully transmitted everything on the scene, and then the screen flashed, and William Stryker, the biggest villain of the movie, would go online. "
"William Stryker would stare at Wolverine on the monitor with nostalgia, because they knew each other.
Although he is an ordinary U.S. military colonel in terms of military rank, secretly, he stabbed mutants severely, because he originally had a happy family, but since his son had a genetic mutation, he became a After mutants...
Their family was shrouded in nightmares.
After his son awakened, he possessed the ability to create illusions, making people around him immersed in illusions and unable to extricate themselves. Since he could not control his own abilities, he caused great damage to everything around him.
When William Stryker's lover, that is, the mutant's biological mother couldn't bear this kind of torture for many times, she chose to commit suicide, and William Stryker, who loved her deeply, had a violent reaction to the son who caused all this. With extreme hatred, he believes that mutants with genetic mutations are devils, and when he has power, he wants to take revenge on mutants.
So he formed the XTeam team, which specializes in catching mutants and conducting research.
Since this was after the Vietnam War, Wolverine, who had just finished the Vietnam War at that time, also joined it.
But because Wolverine felt that XTeam's methods were too cruel, he withdrew.
Find a small village to live in seclusion, and meet my girlfriend.
But Wolverine's withdrawal made him the target of William Stryker.
The self-healing ability attributed to him made William Stryker's heart.
Under William Stryker's plan, Wolverine's girlfriend was brutally murdered.
In order to get revenge, Wolverine agreed to accept the military's transformation plan and infused it with Edman alloy.
But when Wolverine discovered that the conspiracy of XTeam and William Stryker was actually to capture mutants. After studying the mutants, he fled the military base after being transformed, and wanted to destroy everything.
When he made a comeback, William Stryker, who had successfully studied, sent Deadpool to fight Wolverine.
Although Wolverine had the last laugh and destroyed William Stryker's Mutant Research Institute, he himself lost his memory, and the Deadpool who was killed by him was resurrected after being beheaded by him, and separated from William Stryker. Stryker's control.
After that, due to the massive fighting between the two sides, the impact was too bad.
William Stryker's mutant research project was stopped by the above.
Unwilling to be reconciled, he could only go underground until he found out that his most outstanding work, Wolverine, was still alive, and when Magneto wanted to continue destroying human beings, he decided to come out of the mountain again. "
"In order to ensure that my plan can be implemented smoothly, I will not be stopped by my superiors like before.
So he took out the potion that he had studied with great concentration over the years, which could control the mind of mutants and make them obey his orders, and asked his subordinates to drag out the mutant night crawler who could teleport from the research base and manipulate it.
William Stryker ordered Nightcrawler to break into the White House.
But it is not for him to assassinate the president, but to put the dagger of freedom on the president's desk.
This approach can create an illusion for the president that even though Magneto has been captured, mutants are still a threat.
Then when the president was at a loss and wanted to seek help from experts, he, a guy who had done in-depth research on mutants, would appear along the way and suggest to the president to temporarily suppress the implementation of the mutant control act.
Give the mutants the illusion that humans are willing to negotiate peace with them, downplaying this threat.
Then, he would secretly go to the school founded by Professor X to talk to Professor X, because at the beginning, after Magneto was arrested, Professor X assured them that with the arrest of Magneto, mutants and humans will openly confront each other. Incidents rarely happen, but after a few days, someone came to threaten them again.
For such a proposal, the president whose life was threatened was very satisfied, but at the same time, when William Stryker was about to leave, he also told the other party to pay attention to safety, and after hearing such concern, William Stryker Trek laughed.
Because his core purpose is to capture Professor X and kill all mutants through the brainwave machine..."
The same as what Roland showed in his previous life, Kevin Feige's script idea is to go straight to the point.
When he had no power, the "X-Men" series dominated by Fox was like a decrypted film.
In the first part of "X-Men", Fox's main creative team clearly filmed Magneto's childhood experience, but they filmed half of it and released half of it. They just told the audience that Magneto had a tragic childhood, so he wants to take revenge on mankind.
As for how miserable he is?
How much does he hate humans?
These things are not reflected at all.
So, when he desperately emphasized in the movie that his idea of ??letting all human beings evolve is revenge, not evil, that kind of talk seemed abnormally empty, and when Magneto talked about his ideals to Professor X—
As long as anyone has watched "Naruto", there will be an illusion of Sass roaring at Naruto in his heart!
Because before Masashi Kishimoto explained Erzhuzi’s miserable life experience clearly, the high coldness shown by Sass was the twittering of the boy with the second illness, just saying that you don’t understand my pain, but not saying what he went through What hurts?
You leave half of the description of what you say, how to make others sympathize, how to make others empathize!
Even a talent show like "Good Story" knows how to let the contestants tell their miserable stories completely!
As the main creative team of a film, but hope to let the audience communicate with the characters on the screen?
Then this is nonsense!
Kevin Fitch has never been like this. The movies he really directs have a clear main line that is not ostentatious.
Like "Iron Man", it gives you the image of the second generation ancestor that everyone hates at the beginning!
In this way, the changes after the attack can be fully reflected.
"Captain America" ??is the same!
Even if a narration is used, it is necessary to clearly explain the current environment and the weakness of Steve Rogers before he accepted the transformation.
It doesn't matter if it is the most common and corny description!
Because his first priority is to let people who walk into the theater understand the movie quickly!
As for "Wonder Woman 1984", at the end, the audience doesn't know what the gods are? What is the villain's motivation for wanting to help people realize their wishes? Low self-esteem is the driving force behind Leopard Girl's desire to become stronger? As the daughter of God King Zeus, why would Wonder Woman make a wish on a stone?
This kind of situation is absolutely impossible!
So, following his explanation, Roland, who sat opposite him and listened carefully, could quickly grasp all the main points of the whole movie, and at the same time, he also felt—"Your plot is okay!
I think it's a great idea to use Wolverine's perspective to cut into the broken base and draw William Stryker!
And, while William Stryker is looking at Wolverine, he's showing his hatred, right?
Using photos on the table to elicit William Stryker's memories of his wife, telling his son's behavior of killing his mother after becoming a mutant, and showing his hatred for mutants will make William Stryker The character of Gram has become fleshed out. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
Because what we have always emphasized is that the villain must also have a soul.
A flat character is an arrogance to every complex and specific person. "
While showing his liking for the entry point that Kevin Feige said, Roland also added, "Of course, the story of him and Wolverine, it has to be hidden, right? Because I think it should Is it from the Wolverine solo movie?"
The boss's evaluation and instructions made Kevin Feige nod. While expressing that he would not mention all the conflicts between William Stryker and Wolverine at the beginning of the film, he also said: "Although at the beginning There may not be a problem, but the subsequent development actually has a big problem.
According to my previous assumption, William Stryker will use the ability of his son's phantom to manipulate Professor X, and let Professor X kill all the mutants in the world through the brain wave device.
In the process, Wolverine gradually recovered his lost memory.
At the same time, Professor X, who has witnessed the cruelty of human beings, will also become the object of ridicule by Magneto.
The two main points are to strengthen their personal image, to make the role of Wolverine more plump, and to make Magneto's madness more reasonable.
After all, if you don’t fight violently when humans try to kill you, that’s Gandhi.
Of course, when Magneto mocked Professor X in a venting speech, he would control his son with a potion made by William Stryker and give him orders to manipulate Professor X to kill the world all human beings.
At the last moment, Phoenix and Storm will arrive to fight Magneto.
Then, the professor was saved, and Magneto retreated. "
Although Kevin Fitch’s development of the film is so far, and he didn’t specifically describe how many scenes each character has at which time, but all this is enough for Roland.
Because he already has a clear understanding of the whole movie in his mind.
Of course, he still couldn't hear what the difficulty Kevin Feige was talking about was.
So, while nodding, he asked, "And then?"
"Then? Then it's very simple..." Kevin Feige said: "At the end of the film, Wolverine finds William Stryker, wants to kill him, and avenges his girlfriend, but when he does it, A guy in a red tights with two knives stopped him, and while Wolverine was puzzled, he cut off William Stryker's head first.
After he took off his mask, Wolverine suddenly called out his name—Wade Wilson.
This paragraph is to lead to Wolverine's personal movie. "
"On the other hand, when Professor X was saved, and he was glad that the children came in time and did not allow himself to kill all human beings with his own hands, under the questioning of the children, he also recalled his past, and shared with the children about himself and all mankind. The story of Magneto.
This paragraph is to lead to Magneto's personal movie. "
"Besides, according to my arrangement, during the development of the film, that is, in the process of crushing William Stryker's conspiracy, he who raided the mutant school will also capture Cyclops and control him.
This way, when the X-Men stormed William Stryker's base, Cyclops would face off against Phoenix.
If you don't want to hurt your sweetheart, Phoenix Girl will be injured by Cyclops.
Then, with her draw fire, Storm freezes Cyclops. "
"In this way, when Magneto smashed William Stryker's conspiracy, and then forcibly ascended to power, wanting to make his old friend Professor X kill all humans, the only ones who can fight him are Phoenix and Storm up.
During the fight, Magneto killed Phoenix, and Storm also took the opportunity to rescue Professor X.
When Magneto found out that the plan was bankrupt, he left directly, and the newly rescued Professor X would also face the anger of Cyclops who wanted to avenge his girlfriend, and Cyclops, who was very sad, roared and asked Professor X for information about Magneto At that time, as I said before, the reason for Professor X to share his youthful experience with the children also has.
He can tell the children the story of himself and Magneto with guilt.
While leading up to the Magneto solo movie, we can also cut back to the end of X-Men 2 at the end of the Magneto solo movie, when Cyclops asks Professor X for information about Magneto.
When all the memories are over, it can lead to Professor X thinking that Phoenix Girl may not be dead.
In this way, the solo movie of Phoenix Girl can also be opened, how Professor X discovered her, how to cultivate her, how to seal her communication with the Phoenix Force in her body with her permission... we can all know explain.
And after the solo movie of Phoenix Girl is finished, the resurrection of Phoenix Girl can also be arranged. "
After Kevin Feige said this, Roland understood what the plot trend of "X-Men 2" would affect the subsequent development of the mutant series.
Because according to the current arrangement of Kevin Feige, the dead bald man, at the end of "X-Men 2", it will be a solo movie that can lead to three superheroes!
The first one, that is Wolverine!
The appearance of Deadpool can put Wolverine's solo movie directly on the agenda!
As two super-popular characters in Marvel, as long as you arrange them to fight, it's so special that you can sell tickets even with your eyes closed!
The second one is Magneto!
After the crazy portrayal of the two movies, no matter how popular superheroes can start a solo movie!
Not to mention, Kevin Feige used two movies to portray Magneto’s conceptual correctness, and in this case, launching a movie about the rise of Magneto is the most correct choice!
The third one is Phoenix Girl!
Compared with the previous two, this one's popularity is not too high, and the public's voice is not strong, but for the sake of storytelling, her personal movie must come out!
Whether to lose money is not what Marvel should consider now, how to tell the whole story is the most important thing!
Not to mention-
Marvel is not short of money now!
Of course, if you want to understand, you want to understand, if you don’t understand, you still don’t understand.
Because in Roland's opinion, the timing of the introduction of these three single-player movies is very good.
Not to mention-
"If you want to make a solo movie of Wolverine, he has experienced the Civil War, World War I, and World War II, but he can attract countless superheroes. Although the popularity varies, but only Captain America and Tony Stark Dad, that's enough!
Also, can’t Magneto’s single-player movie lead to the Hellfire Club?
If I remember correctly, his ability was developed with the help of Black Emperor Sebastian Xiao?
And if he can get out of the Hellfire Club, wouldn't Phoenix Girl's resurrection be more tenable?
Because the black queen in the Hellfire Club is her!
We can set the solo movie of Phoenix Girl as the beginning of "X-Men 3", because after the resurrection, Jean Gray can't control the ability in the body at all, so someone needs to help suppress it.
In this process, she singled out all the mutants alone.
As for the ending?
Think about how to shoot? "
Kevin Fitch's arrangement reminded Roland of the plot of "X-Men 3" in his previous life.
In that one, Jean Gray was resurrected and turned into Dark Phoenix.
She killed Cyclops, she killed Professor X, and she wants to destroy everything.
Finally, Wolverine resisted the Phoenix Force and stabbed her to death with tears in his eyes.
In Roland's opinion, this kind of plot is very ridiculous.
Due to the unbalanced combat power, the mechanical descending technique makes the plot of the whole movie look extremely bad.
But now—
The situation is different.
If Deadpool and Hellfire Club can be pulled out, then this battle...
Well, probably still no fight.
Before Magneto is officially promoted, these guys together can't suppress the Phoenix Force.
However, these things are not important.
Because after the resurrection of Qin-Grey, whether it is Dark Phoenix or Phoenix Girl, we will have to wait until the three solo films "Wolverine", "Magneto" and "Phoenix Girl" are finished.
If the audience likes it, let Dark Phoenix beat up all the mutants in X-Men 3.
After Ou finished, find a reason for her to exile herself, just like "Captain Marvel", let the super combat power that affects the shooting leave, and then suspend the mutant collection plan and continue to push "Wolverine" and "Deadpool" "The single-player movie, and then lead to the characters in the Avengers, such as the US team and Iron Man.
And if the audience doesn't like to watch it, let Jean Gray simply resurrect.
Then choose a Boss to fight, and then lead to the reunion.
No way, everything, look at the money!
When Roland opened his mind and connected all these movies together, Kevin Fitch said with a sad face, "No, no, no, it doesn't really matter in what form Jean Gray will be resurrected.
The really important thing is that I think there is still room for expansion. "
"Is there room for expansion?" Roland was startled.
When Kevin Feige can use one movie to lead to three solo movies, he still thinks there is room for expansion?
Your birth is not enough for three treasures?
Do you want to be more alive than female video novels?
It’s really like a sow giving birth to a movie!
And after Kevin Fitch saw the surprise on Roland's face, he sighed even more, and said, "This incident was actually an accident. If Halle Berry hadn't won the Best Actress two months ago, I would have I wouldn't even think about writing her in..."
That's right!
The expansion space that Kevin Fitch mentioned is Storm!
