Chapter 860

Since everything is just getting started, Marvel Entertainment in New York will not make any adjustments, and Marvel Studios will only set up a simple office in Firefly Studios for the time being, responsible for the logistics of the two film Spider-Man and Iron Man that have started Administration and other work.

Although the opening of the two films will have to wait at least until next year, the pre-special effects R & D work has already started.

In simple terms, the production goal of CG special effects is actually three types of people, sceneries, and objects.

In the past few years, most of the focus of technology research and development in the digital field has only involved the two aspects of "view" and "thing", and more concentrated on the "thing", dinosaurs, giant beasts, aliens, spaceships Other special effects lenses belong to this category. Images such as hurricanes, floods, and digital buildings can be categorized as ‘scenes’.

But this time, whether it is "Spider-Man" or "Iron Man", or in the future, "Hulk", "Thor" and other movies, there will be a lot of special effects related to "people", which will definitely involve the first It is a very common motion capture technology in later generations. Most of the scenes of Tony Stark wearing a Iron Man uniform in the movie were actually completed in motion capture suits.

Motion capture technology has been around since the 1970s, but in the past, this technology has really attracted the attention of the film and television special effects industry and began to be applied on a large scale. It was still after the successful image of Guru in "The Lord of the Rings" . According to the plan of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the "The Lord of the Rings" series will also be launched in the second half of this year, and motion capture will definitely be used at that time. Therefore, Eric deliberately regards this technology as the focus of technology research and development in the digital field for some time in the future follow up.

As long as you can accumulate enough technology and experience in motion capture in advance, there is no doubt that even in the next few years, even if other special effects companies have completed follow-up on traditional CG special effects, the digital field will still remain strong throughout the industry. leading position.

In addition to motion capture technology, fully digitized large-scale urban scenes and mecha deformation effects with real textures are also included in the technology research and development catalog in the digital field.

It is conceivable that once these two special effect technologies are perfectly implemented, they can be applied not only to Marvel movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man", Firefly can even start "Transformers" in advance if the hardware rendering conditions permit. 》 Production.

After the reunion at the "Titanic" celebration feast, Cameron specially arranged several detailed auditions for Stewart Runkel, and the results were very satisfactory. Stewart already has a very good talent for performing arts. Coupled with these years of experience, it is more than enough to control a babble Peter · Parker image.

It ’s just that the signing process is not so smooth.

Stewart ’s brokerage contract is still in Creative Artists Agency, and the manager over there directly rejected the packaging contract for the six films proposed by Firefly. At most, they are only willing to sign three, and said that each one must renegotiate the remuneration. This is obviously Firefly does not As may be agreed, the dual convenience temporarily stalemate.

Eric told the Stewart Marvel super film signing strategy in detail on that party. He knows that if Stewart is unwilling, he will definitely not participate in the audition of Cameron any more. The situation in front of me, as he said at the time, hope to spend the sixteenth birthday and talk about others.

According to the temperament of Cameron, the start of "Spider-Man" ​​may even be delayed after "Iron Man". Therefore, Eric did not rush to personally ask about it, and let the person in charge of Marvel Studios and manager of Stewart slowly grind.

On the other hand, Eric has also begun to build the main creative framework of "Iron Man".

The Director Jon Feir of original "Iron Man" is still just a guest role in various independent movies. Although there are some regrets, Eric is also impossible to raise seedlings and directly appoint someone who has not touched the guide tube. The newcomer is Director of "Iron Man", but the replacement is also very easy to choose, there is Jose Weden.

In the original time and space, The Avengers of Jose Weden Director has the halo blessing of Marvel Superhero, but the quality of the film itself is also very good.

In these years, José Whedon is not only responsible for the production of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Director and screenwriter, but also has directed two low-cost independent movies, plus José Wheden himself is A super comic fan, the ability to control the film "Iron Man" is also sufficient.

Besides Director, the most important thing is undoubtedly the actor.

In this respect, the small Robert · Downey is definitely an unavoidable hurdle. After all, original's "Iron Man", Downey's performance is too successful, it can be said that Marvel Cinematic Universe has achieved the most perfect combination of people and drama character of.

Although the age of the new version of "Iron Man" actor has been adjusted, Downey still attaches to this condition.

It's just that when Eric asked the assistant to contact each other, he got the news that he had just been put in jail for the second time this year, and he had already booked a treatment center after the six-week prison term expired. In the data collected by the assistant, the whole person of Downey is also completely blessed by long-term addiction, and he has no memory of the vicissitudes of the prodigal son when he played Tony Stark in his memory.

Although there is some sigh, Eric ca n’t wait for the other party to understand again, but people start to look for new roles. After all, Hollywood lacks the most opportunity, and the most lacking is Actor.

It happens to be the weekend, and the time is already May 17.

The wedding of Chris will be held in three days. Eric had planned to fly to Maryland today, but temporarily received a call from Marvel EntertainmentCEOAvi · Arad to visit, so he had to postpone the itinerary by one day.

The purpose of Avi · Arad's visit is also to choose the actor for "Iron Man".

At the same time, along with him, there was another person who made Eric unexpected, Paula · Wagner, Producer of Tom · Cruise, which is obviously why Avi · Arad solemnly flew from New York.

Cliff Peak Manor villa, the reception area by the glass curtain wall.

Avi · Arad and Paula · Wagner looked at the two girls wearing tennis clothes serving coffee to them. They looked at the petite figure Christina for a few more moments, but they did not express any interest. It was only after Miranda Kerr, who was a relatively tall tall and slender, poured himself coffee that politely thanked him.

Compared to Miranda, who is already one-to-one seven meters tall, Christina, which is only one meter five and obviously no longer grows, is obviously easy to misunderstand as a teenage girl, but God knows that Christina is better than Milan He is three years old.

A pure face with a little charming femininity on her face really makes Eric feel a little helpless.

It grows so fast, it grows so fast, it grows so fast ...

People do n’t have the sense of accomplishment of raising loli!

Looking at Miranda bending her thin waist and pretending to pour herself a cup of coffee, Eric quickly said: "Go play, don't need your help here."

The Christina on the other side put down the coffee pot, but asked, "Eric, will guests stay at noon?"

"Of course, you let the chef prepare carefully," Eric said, looking at Avi · Arad and Paula · Wagner: "Avi, Paula, do you have any particular favorites?"

Paula · Wagner shook his head and said: "Just do whatever you want."

Avi · Arad also echoed: "Me too."

"That's it," Eric waved again: "You go to play first."

After the two girls disappeared, Eric first said to Avi · Arad: "You should have talked to Joss Whedon, how are you feeling?"

"A young man with a lot of ideas," Avi · Arad nodded: "Although his directing experience is a little lighter, I believe that if you personally check it, you ca n’t make a mistake."

Eric smiled, and then turned to Paula · Wagner: "So, Paula, how is it recently, I heard that Cruise is making a new film in New York shoots?"

Avi · Arad arrived at Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, and has discussed with him the intention of Paula · Wagner on the phone.

Although Firefly has not officially announced the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan to the outside world, in the case of frequent actions of Firefly, this matter is no longer a secret in Hollywood, and some media have even launched small-scale reports.

Maybe it was stimulated by Warner's three consecutive "Batman" Box Office, and Tom · Cruise also became interested in "Iron Man".

In the memory of previous life, "Iron Man" actually became a thing in the pocket of Tom · Cruise. It was only because of the repeated delays of Marvel and script that could not satisfy Cruise.

Speaking of that, as a Actor, sometimes, opportunities really seem very important.

Take Tom · Cruise and Kevin · Costner. In the past history, after experiencing the Box Office defeat of "Waterworld", Kevin · Costner gradually broke away from the ranks of superstar. And because of the bodyguards of the "Mission: Impossible" series, although Tom · Cruise has also experienced some failures, it can come back every time with the sequel of "Mission: Impossible".

Now, the "Mission: Impossible" series belongs to Kevin · Costner, which also makes him save his career in time after the similar defeat of "Waterworld" Box Office. Tom · Cruise is not so lucky. Although it has always been in the front line, it has tried several major production movies in the past few years, but it can only be said that the response is mediocre. Gradually, Paramount that cooperates closely with Tom · Cruise He doesn't even want to let Tom · Cruise participate in the big production film, but positions him in the type of low-cost literary and artistic films. After all, although Tom · Cruise has not been recognized by the Oscar award, he has played the story and literary art. Film, Box Office is still very secure.

The Tom · Cruise just mentioned by Eric is in a new film of New York shoots, and it is also a story and literary film with a cost of about 40 million USD.

But obviously, Tom · Cruise is not willing to continue this way. After all, Hollywood's big production commercials, even if they don't mention the "Titanic" that just created a miracle, there are many films that frequently touch the threshold of global Box Office 700 million or even 1 billion, and literature and art Even if it is sold well, global Box Office can usually only be maintained at around 300 million USD, and the benefits involved cannot be compared.

Paula · Wagner took a sip of coffee and nodded: "Yeah, this is a biographical adaptation film. Tom hopes to hit Oscar again."

Eric smiled lightly without expressing any opinion on this, saying: "So, why are you interested in Iron Man this time?"

"Eric, don't you think Tom is very suitable for this role?" Paula · Wagner said, put down the coffee cup, took out a few photos from the handbag, and handed it over.

Eric took a look at it. It turned out to be a rendering of Tom · Cruise wearing a steel suit. This was obviously produced with the help of Marvel. After all, the design of the Iron Man suit is currently only visible to senior Marvel.

Speaking of it, if you do n’t raise your height, Tom · Cruise is very similar to Tony · Stark in the comics.

After reading a few photos, Eric looked up and said: "Paula, since you got these design drafts, then you must have heard that I have conceived the character Iron Man."

"Of course," Paula · Wagner nodded: "Eric, although, there are some peak images, but you definitely know that Tom has enough strength to control this role, you have worked together in 《Running Out of Time》, haven't you?

Eric nodded with a smile, Eric did not have too many prejudices against him except for Tom · Cruise ’s somewhat irrational desire to control, and now, although Tom · Cruise is still Hollywood first-line superstar, but with Eric In contrast, the two are no longer in a heavyweight category, and he naturally will not be about the small details of the past.
