Chapter 606 Loki: Who is the main villain of the movie?(1/2)
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 Stone, 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 first gathering, then being separated for some reason, and then finally gathering to fight the BOSS.
In the movie, Hawkeye is the first to appear among the Avengers heroes.
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 the attention of Director Fury.
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, 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 it needs to be arranged in this way.
However, the director and screenwriter Joss Whedon reviewed the script and found that Hawkeye was the most suitable.
First of all, Loki needs helpers. However, I have never fought against the Avengers alone. I was hammering everywhere outside the movie, and I almost didn’t have 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 there is no clue as to who to choose as a helper.
First of all, Loki was transported to Earth by the Cosmic Cube, and Cao Xuan came to pursue him, so I might be controlled later.
Moreover, Fang Shan has become Loki's thug, and the brothers have a role in stirring up Loki, which may even lead to the conflict between Earth and Asgard.
Compared with the Hulk, I can certainly control it, and the movie has set up an albino scene, so if I control it again, it will overlap.
Iron Man and Captain America are largely responsible for the conflict in the formation of the Avengers. Without the two, there is no way to act against each other. White Widow has slightly higher combat power, but the value of "inciting rebellion" is low.
Therefore, the Hawkeye guarding the Cube in the later stage had problems with his logic and timing. At the same time, my combat power was weak, and coupled with the various insider information of SHIELD, the damage was far greater than the 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 were someone else, it would be easy to create a feud within SHIELD, which would be the benefit of being a direct descendant.
Another point is that Hawkeye is a very emotional person. Many people from S.H.I.E.L.D. died because of me, which will definitely make me feel a certain amount of guilt, which can also be regarded as paving the way for the above plot.
Outside of the original movie, Hawkeye marries a wife and has children, returns to his family, and his relationship with the White Widow becomes a comrade-in-arms, a confidant, and a family member.
In the Starry version, Marvel had to give up the CP of White Widow and Fang Shan, but Thor would appear in some movies, so they created a new setting.
Let Hawkeye weaken!
Apart from my personal movie, my good brother died because of me, and outside of Revenge League, I indirectly killed many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, so Hawkeye feels guilty and feels that his abilities are not enough.
Therefore, before the Battle of New York, I went to the ancient holy land mentioned by the Master Swordsman and took a step back to practice [Qi]. Through SHIELD special training and spiritual training, I became immune to mind control, and still worked on the plot above.
bedding.
And that would solve the problem of Hawkeye's role to a small extent.
If you have nothing to do, go up to the mountain to join the battle; if you have something to do, go back to the mountain to practice in seclusion.
Every time you go up the mountain, your combat effectiveness can be improved, and you can even appear as a super aid to increase the sense of surprise.
Thor is satisfied with that arrangement, but as for being controlled by Marvel movies and being able to join in disorder, Marvel has also refused.
We would also like to control Thor, but Thor's salary is really cheap.
The person with the lowest salary in "Avengers" is Robert Downey Jr., who is said to have earned US$50 million. The truth is unknown, but considering the results of the two "Iron Man" films, the difference should not be much higher.
Thor's salary is US$13 million, which is the same as the widowed sister Scarlett Johansson.
It is said that in the end, Marvel planned to give two people US$15 million and US$12 million, but they were afraid of starting a fight, so after discussions with all parties, they finally let both of them receive US$13 million.
As for Captain America and us, the box office has increased a lot compared to when we were shooting individual movies, but we can’t compare with those eight.
The combined salary of Cao Xuan, Captain America, Loki and the Hulk may just be comparable to that of Thor or Widowmaker.
Of course, that's only if Renren's movie has not been released yet. If it is released before and performs well at the box office, it will be difficult to get that kind of cabbage price.
Personal movie protagonists like Fang Shan and Captain America are paid tens of millions of dollars at most. Thor and The Widow are directly hitting the $20 million club.
As for Robert Downey Jr., people really pay by the second. After Thor, he actually has no intention of looking for me to co-star in a movie. I came to inquire about the market price and felt that there are still many other good actors in Hollywood.
.
It is also because of such a low salary that Marvel will easily use characters like Fang Shan and White Widow to participate in other movies, or it will be said that they will use them all, because they are too expensive.
………
Unlike actors like me, who may at least explain their understanding in literary scenes, Thor is actually half an action star and has filmed very few action scenes.
After a long illness, I took less pictures, and I was able to do some martial arts coaching work, so Gerry and Joss Whedon discussed action design.
The plot is like this. The astronomer uses the Cosmic Cube to open the space door, Loki appears, and then has a small battle with Hawkeye and others.
In terms of pure combat power, Loki would definitely be able to beat Hawkeye, but I attacked others at the same time, leaving Hawkeye with no scruples and letting his hands and feet go freely. In addition, he thought of the mind-controlling move, which resulted in his defeat and being defeated.
its control.
There is a problem at this stage. Although it is weak to strengthen Hawkeye, it is understandable considering that Hawkeye has encountered that kind of enemy.
But regarding the specific action design, Lei Shen believes that the director's design is not a bit too complicated and is logical.
Hawkeye didn't attack back until Loki took the lead, and he used arrows instead of guns, and Hawkeye was carried by Loki from beginning to end, which was consistent with the character.
"Hawkeye is an agent with rich combat experience and no very weak combat qualities. With such a small fluctuation in the space gate, a man dressed in weird clothes came out.
I am simply protecting myself from the public, and I should also be extremely vigilant.
At the same time, Hawkeye is a warrior, and a warrior's weapon will be removed from his hand. Usually during a mission, he may use a powerful pistol instead of a bow, sword, and quiver.
Hawkeye can be beaten passively, so he should counterattack as soon as Loki takes advantage.
It is wrong not to take care of your comrades, but you may be led away. Only newcomers will make such mistakes.
The correct approach should be for Hawkeye to react slowly and attack Loki with all his strength. Only by killing the enemy can he save fewer people.
If you must let Hawkeye take action, you can start with Fury, who lets Hawkeye cover himself and expose his flaws, leading to his capture..."
The God of Thunder, Barabala, immediately stunned Joss Whedon, but he still had to deny that what Fang Shan said was unreasonable.
I just wanted to be quick and decisive at the beginning, to highlight Loki's late-game strength as a villain, but I felt that Hawkeye was weakened too much, and he was even reduced to a passerby.
If SHIELD's Ace + Avengers heroes are so good, then the logic of Hawkeye's scene in the sequel that severely damages SHIELD is valid.
"Cao, he is right, you can discuss it some more."
Whether Joss Whedon can show off as a director or not, I can show off in front of Thor.
Moreover, Thor's suggestion is right. I also insult Fang Shan's opinion of a professional action actor. In terms of action design and battle scene imagination, I am indeed like Thor.
So the two of them held an impromptu discussion meeting with several other main creators, and then Thor became the action director for that scene.
That was also the first time Thor acted as an action director. After that, outside of the movie "Eagle Eye", I participated in a small amount of action design, so I was very familiar with it.
Even in the subsequent "Hurricane Rescue" series, although Fang Shan was the action director, she also provided very few opinions and designs. That's why I dare to speak. I really don't have that ability.
I may be modest in front of these top domestic martial arts directors, but on the set of "Avengers", I am confident that I am worse than the original action director.
The special effects of "Avengers" are great, and even some of the stunt scenes are wrong, but the fighting scenes are really special, and at most they can even be described as "smooth" in the later stages.
That's why Raijin couldn't speak. After all, I'm also a new generation of "kung fu superstar". It would be really embarrassing if the action scenes were good-looking.
………
Thor also failed to live up to expectations, and he quickly let the crew know what true professionalism meant.
After I designed the previous actions and scenes, although the changes were small, they were less murderous and fierce, and the overall picture felt more urgent and calm.
According to Director Fury's evaluation, it doesn't feel like a real agent fighting.
Fang Shan is still not satisfied at all, or my action style is actually too suitable for superhero movies.
The fierce and urgent fighting based on reality can give the audience a feeling of bloodshed and allow the audience to experience the reality and excitement of fighting.
But outside of the Marvel movies, Loki waved his scepter, swept away the shock wave, Hawkeye used [Qi] to fly arrows, penetrated metal and broke Qi. The scene may still be very hot, but this kind of punching to the flesh feels real.
It just exists again.
The opening scene of the movie only lasted about five minutes, but it took seven days to shoot, and director Joss Whedon was present throughout.
After the fight scenes were filmed, the assistant director was asked to take charge of other branch shooting, and I watched the bickering between Captain America and Iron Man.
The god of thunder, who was controlled by his mind, wore a pair of contact lenses with completely white pupils, which reduced some evil spirits out of thin air.
The other part of the plot is that before Hawkeye was controlled, he shot Fury, but failed to kill him. Fury realized the terror of Hawkeye and Loki and ended the formation of the Avengers.
Hawkeye is the ace of S.H.I.E.L.D. and knows very few inside stories about S.H.I.E.L.D. He guessed what Fury was doing and the two discussed the battle plan.
Loki asked curiously: "Are we not a threat?"
Thor had an expression on his face: "It may work alone, but if Fury asks us to join forces, you will encounter a little trouble."
