Burbank, Hughes Aircraft Factory's hangar studio.

The crew of "Iron Man" has finished filming and has not left yet. Due to the full digital shooting, director Jon Favreau reviewed the shots of several key scenes through equipment temporarily set up in the studio. If there is something unsatisfactory, while the crew has not yet disbanded, he can call for a hand-made shot at any time.

Jon Favreau also invited Ronan and Kevin Fitch to come over.

Neither Ronan nor Jon Favreau and Kevin Fitch wanted to wait until the post-production began before calling for a hand-made reshoot.

It not only takes time, but also requires a considerable budget.

Many shots of the video are shot in front of the green screen, and no special effects are added for the time being.

Although Ronan can't make movies, over the years, his producer's abilities have been trained and his vision is still there.

Many of the special effects of Robert Downey Jr.'s scenes are model real-life shooting and post-production, and they are not as funny as the behind-the-scenes footage of the film released by Marvel.

What Ronan remembers most clearly is the scene where Wanda, the Scarlet Witch released magic, which was like a huge cramp in the human body.

In fact, it is not less difficult to perform these in the air than to shoot independent art films.

After several key scenes were played, Jon Favreau asked: "Ronan, Kevin, what about your opinions?"

Ronan waved his hand: "One of you and Kevin are directors and the other are producers, it's up to you to decide."

The two of them controlled the shooting of the video throughout the whole process and knew the specific situation better than him.

"It's OK," Kevin Feige said: "At present, there is no need to add further shooting."

Jon Favreau also said: "I think it's OK for the time being."

Ronan nodded: "Then let's move on to post-production, there is still one year before it is released."

Kevin Feige said: "There is plenty of time. With our plan, we can complete all the post-work in about ten months."

The post-production of this kind of video is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than shooting.

Ronan reminded: "The construction must be completed before April next year. The Embassy Film Company will need at least one month to test the screening, create momentum and operate reputation."

Jon Favreau promised: "I will do it on time."

Ronan was relieved. The first step of the Marvel Avengers plan was temporarily going smoothly, but there is only one criterion to measure whether it can be successful - the market reaction of "Iron Man" after its release next year.

"Has the Easter egg been photographed?" Luo Nan asked again.

"The filming is over," Jon Favreau replied, "Several actors are very interested in this novel way of connecting the film."

Kevin Feige said: "Bruce Banner's actor has not been confirmed yet, and there will only be a CG video about the Hulk in the Easter egg."

Ronan said: "The Hulk project will also begin preparations, and the actors and directors will sign long contracts, pay attention to learning from the lessons learned from Ang Lee's version of the failure."

Kevin Feige said: "The script is being written, and I will send it to you as soon as possible after it is finished."

Ronan asked: "Do you have any candidates you like for actors and directors?"

"The director has not yet." Kevin Feige told the truth: "There is one actor."

He simply said: "Edward Norton's agent has contacted me and is willing to sign a long contract."

Ronan frowned: "Is this the will of Edward Norton, or the will of his agent?"

Edward Norton's acting skills and image as Bruce Banner are not a problem. An actor who plays a supporting role wearing a mask throughout the whole process can kill the male lead in an instant, which is enough to show his strength.

But Edward Norton signed a long-term contract with Paramount Pictures, and the two sides had a very unhappy relationship and even sued the law for a while. In the end, Edward Norton lost the case and had to play an extremely vulgar villain in "Stealing the Sky and Change the Sun".

Having experienced this, will Edward Norton still sign a long-term contract with the production company?

Kevin Feige thought for a while and said, "I have ignored this question. I have never asked about it. I will contact Edward Norton's agent later."

Ronan said directly: "If Edward Norton himself is willing to sign a long film contract with Marvel, we can consider him. If this is just the agent's wish, or Edward Norton only wants to shoot a film, we don't have to consider him."

"I understand." Kevin Feige said.

Jon Favreau responded: "I recommend a candidate, Joaquin Phoenix is ​​good. Once he chatted with me, talked about Marvel Comics, and said that he was a Hulk fan."

Joaquin Phoenix Ronan felt that the name sounded quite familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he roughly knew who it was.

Revan Phoenix's younger brother, who was dying of drugs, played Russell Clow in "Gladiator" and played the role of the Mad King.

This person has a good acting skills and has a temperament that he cannot survive without being crazy.

Once, I seemed to have also starred in the alternative superhero movie "The Joker" of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

This alternative superhero movie also won a Golden Lion Award from the Venice Film Festival.

Sometimes I have to admire Warner Bros., who always shoots the villain movies of DC comics very attractively. Can DC superhero movies really only rely on villains to save them?

You can't count on Thunder, right?

Ronan quickly thought about it and said, "Jon, you can contact Joaquin Phoenix first and test his attitude if he is interested." He looked at Kevin Feige: "Let Marvel Entertainment arrange an audition."

Kevin Feige should come down: "No problem."

The current Marvel Avengers plan will not use popular stars in a short period of time, and the selection of actors is relatively wide. Whoever is willing to sign a long-term contract with Marvel Entertainment will have an absolute advantage.

Actors like Edward Norton and Joaquin Phoenix often find it difficult to accept a long appointment with nearly ten movies.

I can only let Jon Favreau and Kevin Fitch contact you first.

Jon Favreau stayed on the set to continue to handle the rest of the crew's work, and Kevin Fitch accompanied Ronan to walk outside the studio.

Ronan is still talking about actor matters: "The selection of actors for Thor and Captain America must also be put on the agenda. These two actors need a particularly strong type, and their figure is more important than acting skills."

It's simply funny to be a sissy actor who plays such a role.

Kevin Feige said: "I have a lot of information about the actors on hand and are undergoing preliminary selection."

Ronan said again: "You keep in touch with Susan Levine, so that she must be the first supervisor of Robert Downey Jr., not only to prevent Robert Downey Jr. from getting into those messy things, but also to urge Robert Downey Jr. to keep physical exercise. I don't require him to become a muscle expert, but he must maintain his body shape."

When people reach middle age, they will easily gain weight if they are not careful. Moreover, people who have successfully rehabilitated drugs often become obese.

Robert Downey Jr. needs to work harder than normal people to maintain his current figure.

Kevin Feige told the truth: "Susan Levine is more concerned than us when supervising Robert Downey Jr.."

Ronan smiled and said, "Robert Downey's greatest luck is meeting a good woman."

Kevin Feige fully agrees with this: "Famous to scumbags will ruin your life, but a good woman can drag the prodigal son back on the right path."

Luo Nan nodded slightly. The scumbag girl was as terrifying as a scumbag.

What will happen when a scumbag meets a scumbag? I guess the earth will explode.

Therefore, for the sake of the security of the earth and all mankind, the destination of a scumbag must not be a scumbag girl.

Kevin Feige asked with concern: "How are the copyrights of "X-Men", "Fantastic Four" and "Spider-Man"?"

Ronan shook his head: "The progress is not very big. Sony Columbia Pictures is better and is willing to sell some profits to Marvel Entertainment. Twentieth Century Fox is unmoved."

Kevin Feige said: "It's too difficult to buy back what you sell to six major companies."

Ronan said: "The new version of the comic "Fantasy Four" is becoming more and more powerful. Sony Columbia Pictures has concerns, so it is willing to give away two percent of the box office revenue in North America to Marvel Entertainment. I temporarily suspended the negotiations with Sony Columbia. It would be good to get such a result. I would like to wait for the right opportunity to talk about it."

He thought for a while and said, "As for the 20th Century Fox, there is no progress. Last week, the court conducted an out-of-court mediation, and 20th Century Fox refused to give in, and this war could only last."

Kevin Feige said: "It's a pity that Fantastic Four and X-Men can play a bigger role in our hands."

Ronan smiled: "There will always be a time to take it back."

Once upon a time, Marvel Studios did not have the copyright of X-Men, so it might be a blessing. After all, the power system of mutants is more complex and chaotic. It takes a lot of thought to join the Avengers universe.

There are too many mutants in the comics who destroy the world at any time.

Compared with Mutants, Fantastic Four is more suitable to join Marvel's Avengers movie universe. This small team can fight, research and cause trouble, and its mortal enemies are also very tricky.

By the way, the first trailer of "Fantastic Four" by 20th Century Fox, the person who starred in the Thunderbolt is called Chris Evans, who was once Captain America.

Ronan has been specifically asked about it. Chris Evans and Twentieth Century Fox only signed a contract for one movie.

Hopefully, under the influence of the comics, the 20th Century Fox's "Fantasy Four" movie will not have another sequel.

Ronan and Kevin Fitch chatted and left the studio. As soon as they arrived at the door, a red-haired woman came over.
Chapter completed!
