Eddie took a deep breath. He still didn't believe this evil. He admitted that the two scripts were indeed a bit ordinary, but after all, he was an author himself and became a director halfway. It was pretty good to be able to write like this, right?
But seeing that Schiller still insisted and Eddie continued to read, he didn't believe that he couldn't write a story that would satisfy Party A.
The opportunity came next, because after that there was a documentary about Stark's wedding trip, that is, all the superheroes gathered together. This was so impressive. After all, it had already become popular on the Internet before.
You don’t have to worry about anything about promotion, as long as there are no problems with the script and filming, it will definitely be a hit.
The key is that scripts for group dramas are even more difficult to write, because the time is short and has to be divided among many main characters, and each person must have their own story line and emotional line, and at the same time there must be a coherent and coherent character.
The main plot really tests the skills of the screenwriter and director.
Eddie was gearing up. After all, he had been a director of wedding documentaries before, and he remembered many details very clearly. Although he could use this advantage to make a variety show full of gimmicks, it was not a waste to make a movie.
Eddie thought about it, of course, the most important thing in a group drama is everyone's motivation. Indiscriminate entry without motivation will seriously disrupt the rhythm, and all motivations must be intertwined together in the end, otherwise it will flash from beginning to end, without anything.
focus.
In the end, Eddie set his sights on the space station.
Stark basically provided most of the technology needed by the space station, so he was very proud of it. He even talked about it at the banquet he was preparing for his wedding, and there was no lack of sarcasm about magic in his words.
As the Supreme Sorcerer, Strange couldn't stand his behavior of belittling magic. He believed that in mankind's journey towards the interstellar sea, science should not be the only one, magic must also have a place, so he thought he could
Talk to Stark at this time to add to the magical element of space station and solar system exploration.
The situation of the mutants in the Andromeda Galaxy is very good, but they believe that there should be a base similar to a space station outside their capital star, so the leader of the mutants contacted Wanda, who had just given birth to a child, hoping that she could be here
Let's explore Stark's words at this party and see what price he can pay for such technology.
Asgard is not interested in how humans explore the solar system, but they believe that the Supreme Mage should have a stronger say, because they themselves also belong to a divine civilization. To put it bluntly, they are here to support Strange.
Peter, who came as a researcher, and Captain America, who revealed his identity, are both concerned about another issue, which is whether jobs such as space stations can continue to provide more jobs for ordinary people, allowing them to gain more opportunities in such technological development.
Multiple benefits.
As for Schiller, he mediates the relationships between multiple parties on behalf of SHIELD to prevent them from fighting over disagreements. Of course, Nick also hopes to gain more say for SHIELD in this process.
Eddie checked several times and felt that everyone's motives were basically in line with the outside world's stereotypes of them. What followed was a series of confrontations and negotiations. On the surface, they seemed happy, but in fact, there were undercurrents of mutual speculation, questioning, exchange and compromise.
.
Eddie is very ambitious. He believes that this film should be different from all previous superhero documentaries. It does not emphasize that they are superheroes, but that they are also individuals. They also have their own interests that they want to fight for, and they are also like ordinary people.
Like people, they will not give in in this regard. Superheroes have their own fame and fortune.
This new view is indeed eye-catching, because in the public's mind, superheroes are all great and upright, and at least on the surface they all appear to be united, helpful to each other, and willing to help others.
If you see them quarreling, quarreling or even fighting for certain interests, they will bite each other's flesh like a hungry lion and refuse to let go, they will be careful to test, over-interpret, and fully suspicious.
This undoubtedly puts the human side of what makes them up even greater.
The theme of "real superheroes" will definitely help this movie skyrocket, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular all over the world.
To be honest, this is a bit beyond the ability of Eddie, a half-way director. He thinks that he can find some long-established big-name directors to cooperate. I believe they will be interested in this kind of superhero insider script.
Schiller still disagreed.
In the end, Eddie had to focus on the crash of the space station. Disaster movies, a type that is not done well, are the type where the movie follows the director and the investors to disaster, especially the disaster movies adapted from real events, which are hilarious and tantamount to suicide.
This type of film is often invested by government departments of various countries. Generally speaking, it has a certain commemorative and warning meaning, so it must be serious and serious, fully express the sorrow and remembrance, and absolutely cannot be interpreted in an entertaining way.
For the director, this was like another level of difficulty, requiring him to dance with shackles. Eddie was not completely sure that he could write a good script, so he chose the most conservative method, just like making a documentary, only presenting
fact.
But movies are different from documentaries. Movies need to have a main perspective. Eddie felt that the safest way was to start from the perspective of ordinary employees and show how people in the air helped each other during this disaster and countries on the ground contacted and cooperated.
Just as Eddie was revising the script bit by bit, his cell phone rang suddenly, and then his colleagues screamed outside the door. Eddie quickly opened the phone and saw the short video he often watched.
The software dropped him a headline.
The cover of the news is the big face of Mysterio.
Unsurprisingly, Jameson chose to expose Mysterio.
Clicking on the video, the content is very straightforward. To put it simply, the old version of the Bugle Daily was invited by the mysterious man to interview, but found out that it was the mysterious man who saved the space station. During the interview, he discovered that this
People are full of loopholes, and after the details of various interviews were dictated, the image of an arrogant, low-self-esteem, and ignorant liar emerged vividly on the page.
The scene that was released immediately proved this point. When facing the huge spider monster, Mysterio simply ran away. He tripped over a stone halfway and finally smashed his helmet, but his face was revealed.
He was the only seriously injured person in the space station crash incident that also attracted much attention before, Justin Balk.
Soon a colleague who had worked with Stark Group recognized him. This man was not Balk at all, but Quentin Baker, a madman who wreaked havoc in the laboratory.
As more and more videos about Baker are released, people are gradually piecing together the complete image of this liar. To put it simply, he did not dare to bear the consequences when he got into trouble, changed his identity to evade responsibility, and even sneaked into the space station.
Here, everything was thrown into chaos, and finally he tried to play the savior and was exposed.
The image could hardly be worse.
But when Eddie saw the news, he didn't just condemn Baker like other netizens. He suddenly thought, if the mastermind behind all this is Mysterio, then Oakes, who was accused before, was actually wronged?
Eddie was immediately inspired. He thought he should interpret the crash of the space station from Oaks' perspective.
After all, he was considered an insider. He had heard some news before that Oakes had been receiving psychological treatment after leaving the space station, which proved that he had a mental problem.
Eddie thought that maybe he could use magical realism to present the terrifying space station from Oakes' perspective at that time, which would not only alert people, but also help Oakes restore his social identity.
Of course, I started writing when Oakes boarded the space station. On the one hand, he had to bear the burden of his family, and on the other hand, he was not going well at work. He was also provoked by villains, so he gradually lost control of his emotions, and more and more hallucinations appeared in Oakes' mind.
, which ultimately led him to place all the blame on himself.
Eddie wrote more and more smoothly, and after a while he wrote several drafts of paper. As he wrote, he introduced his ideas to Schiller, such as how to distinguish the real world from hallucinations, how to express Oakes' inner painful struggle, and at the same time
How to bring out the emergency situation of the space station.
What's rare is that Schiller listened carefully this time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Eddie wanted to hit the wall. He said: "Why did you only write about the lack of oxygen in half of the space station? What about the other half?"
Eddie opened his mouth and said: "I mentioned it. Oaks, who was trapped in the room, received the news that the other half of the space station had fallen..."
"What about the details of the fall?"
"This has nothing to do with this movie." Eddie said: "The main character we show is Oakes, not the other half of the people on the space station. The movie requires a certain degree of artistic processing. You can't shoot everything, otherwise it will be
It’s a hodgepodge.”
Just as Schiller was about to say something, Eddie interrupted him and said: "I'm not saying that the other half of the space station staff are not worthy of sympathy. In addition to recording facts, movies must also be expressionistic and style-based.
The characters, scenes, storyline and spirit of expression are completely unified, otherwise it would be a complete bad movie.”
"Just like when you're filming a teenage love story, it's impossible to record every math class they take. Although in reality they must have taken it, these details can neither reflect their character settings nor promote the main story.
If it goes ahead, then there is absolutely no need to film it.”
"Just like the story I wrote, the other half of the space station did encounter a disaster, but it did not have any impact on this half of the space station. It had nothing to do with the main story, and it did not promote the emotional changes of Oaks, nor could it be better shaped.
The spirit of everyone working together to get out of disasters and difficulties is meaningless to this movie."
"I don't care, you have to shoot." Schiller stared at Eddie and said, "And none of the previous scripts will work. You have to shoot according to the facts."
"Then tell me what's wrong." Eddie was so angry that he turned his chair around, crossed his arms and looked at Schiller and said.
"First of all, Robbins didn't have any coming-of-age story," Schiller said. "The story after he got to Kama-Taj was changed to him being defeated, locked up, and escaping."
Eddie was stunned and said: "Why do you want to change it like this? I portray a teenager who is not bad in nature, but is reckless and impulsive. In a movie of this style, the protagonist must grow up..."
"Because that's what happened." Schiller did not dwell too much on this issue, but said forcefully: "The Sandman also needs to be changed. It should be changed to the fact that he was kidnapped by Robins and was hypnotized to lose control of his abilities, so he came from the East.
Coast to coast.”
"Wait a minute, this is no longer a problem in the movie." Eddie said: "What's the motive? Why did Robbins kidnap the Sandman??"
