Hollywood Domination Chapter 428: Liar

"No, no, to be honest, I think the current rhythm is really good."

When the paparazzi were basking in the scorching sun, the air-conditioned studio even made people have the urge to put on their coats. After lunch, Jenny did not go back to her trailer to rest or Nonsense, she is still in uniform and has returned to the editing room. Together with Kevin and Joss, she has reviewed the finished products of "The Avengers" so far. She has always had a lot of opinions and dared to talk to the director. , other producers confronted her, but this time she completely changed her style, and the full of praise almost made Kevin Feige a little uncomfortable-in his impression, Jennifer has always been easy-going and difficult to draw. The upper equal sign.

"Are you sure?" He said anxiously pointing to the still picture, "You really don't have much opinion on this rough cut?"

The filming of "The Avengers" was completed last year, and most of the filming schedule coincided with Jenny's "Life Journey". After Fang signed the contract, the two parties will jointly develop the content added in "The Amazing Spider-Man". In fact, Andrew Garfield, the actor of "The Amazing Spider-Man", has quietly joined the group a few days ago. It was indeed very difficult to keep this secret before, and there was a good show in it, a battle of wits and courage, thrilling, no less than a wonderful spy war scene, for this reason, there was another scene that was completely placed in the shed—— After signing the contract and deciding to jointly develop, Sony was quite generous, and even promised to let Andrew show his face at the end of the film. Of course, the exchange is that the heroes of the Avengers will also appear in the plot of "The Amazing Spider-Man". Cameo.

Because Shero and Spider-Man don't have many roles in the film after all, they are only guest appearances, so in fact the rough cut has been almost completed now, and it is enough to add reshoots in the later stage. Jenny is also using this time to perform her duties as a producer, and Kevin even moved the office nearby—they were quite suspicious of this rough cut version of Joss, and they were more or less concerned about gains and losses, and they could use Jenny's Opinion.

"I understand your concern, Kevin, yes, there is not much drama in this rough cut, and the rhythm is not very traditional. The shaping of each character—" Jenny waved her hand towards the screen , and Kevin nodded in agreement, "It's not that detailed. It can be said that if you haven't watched the previous movies, then you may not understand the literary drama of this movie from beginning to end."

"Yes, this is exactly a problem we have to face, the fact is, such a large ensemble movie, if you were to assign some growth drama to everyone, its length may go straight to three Hours, now this 130 minute cut is pretty respectable in terms of length, but you still feel like the movie is...not dramatic enough, it's more like a couple of heroes gathered together if you know what I mean Together, let’s have a fight, everyone will have a handsome solo show, and put some plots on these solo shows—” Joss’ brows were also tightened, it seemed that he didn’t like this version very much, just Reluctantly edited according to Kevin's request. "It's hard to say whether the audience will buy such a finished product."

Although Joss and Kevin's confusion was very sincere, and they could see the difficulty and pain in the choice, Jenny was not infected at all. Of course, she could answer their question with confidence, because Joss There is almost no big difference between the rough-cut version and the final release version-it can be inferred that in the end, Kevin and others still think that instead of prolonging the time and adding more drama, it is better to sacrifice the sense of rhythm and give the role of special effects to fighting and The handsome shots of the heroes, and is this choice right or wrong? The box office and word of mouth are enough to explain everything, and Kevin and others finally won the bet. And what she has to do now is to alleviate their hesitation when choosing, and cast a vote of her confidence.

"I think the audience will buy it-in fact, for this kind of ensemble movie, this is the only way to make it, so we don't actually have more choices." After scrambling, I went back to the interpretation of Kevin and Joss' thinking, "From the perspective of the plot, the person who was affected by this incident should be Iron Man. He is the one who was affected by aliens and felt uneasy Heavier and heavier people, this is also an important thread throughout "Iron Man 3", so emotionally, you can think of Tony as the protagonist of this movie, because for the rest, the Avengers, aliens People, this is just a part of the job, and their outlook on life has not been shaken by it. ——But the impact of this incident, as well as the subsequent growth, were arranged to be carried out in "Iron Man 3" in the planning, so in "Iron Man 3" In The Avengers, letting anyone have personal setbacks-growth will disrupt the rhythm and focus of the movie. The only literary drama can only be placed on teamwork, and this almost eliminates the possibility of all literary dramas—it is difficult Picture them debating to solve problems, eh? For a first-time, grumpy team."

"But there is still a problem with the current editing - for the big three, there is nothing to say, they all have their own prequel movies, the characters are already clear, but for Hawkeye, Black Widow and Hulk , their past is still defined by the comics, and the image of the movie is blurred and labeled," Joss frowned, "If this problem is not solved in the first movie, it can only be pushed to the second movie Go ahead - and then, the problem will become very difficult. Because Marvel's second phase will still have the big three movies, their growth veins will be clearer, which will make the Hawkeye trio even more fringe Transformation—"

"This can be resolved through the interaction of a single-player movie. For a movie with 6 protagonists, all conflicts should still revolve around the team," Jenny said firmly, "so maintain the current thinking and use the formation of the team— — Discrete — edited for the first time to bridge the context, don’t be afraid that the audience can’t understand the side dialogues related to the previous work, this can promote dvd sales, trust me, if they like this movie, they won’t care if they don’t understand , but glad that there are still so many movies to explore."

"Okay." Kevin seemed to be convinced, "So, about the love scene, is it still the same as "Code Shero", never dealt with?"

"I think what the audience wants to see in this kind of movie is creative and exciting fighting scenes, especially the kind of cool and flashy big scenes, such as that five-minute long shot? It's gorgeous-not afraid Tell you, Joss, the reason why I nodded to let Shero join the Avengers is because I want her to appear in such a gorgeous scene with so many people..."

Joss looked almost a bit proud-he said reservedly, "We can consider arrangements in "Avengers 2."

"Of course we have to arrange it!" Kevin yelled instead—now his attitude towards Jenny is very affectionate, "This is exactly the meaning of shero joining Marvel—a strong alliance!"

From his expression, it can be seen that although Kevin is also a comic fundamentalist, but at the right time, he will open his side. For example, now, he is very enthusiastic about the addition of Shero...

"...So, everything will come to fruition in the second half of the year, the shooting schedule of "Iron Man 3"..."

After filming the afternoon scene in the studio, the discussion continued until the night fell, and Kevin and Jenny walked out of the studio together, leaving Joss to continue to sort out the materials and prepare for tomorrow's shooting. They were talking about the future strategic layout as they walked, "If all goes well, "Captain America 2" and "Thor 2" will also be launched one after another..."

"The most important thing is the script. I don't want to see a situation where the director can't get the script on the eve of shooting..." Jenny emphasized, "This kind of internal bureaucracy is very dangerous, Kevin, it will Ruined the core of the movie - a story that was at least passable... Also, Kenneth Branagh is out of course, I love Kenneth, but he really isn't the type to do this kind of superhero movie, if you ask me, I'll say it from the beginning-you guys are not very wise about the director choices of "Captain America 1" and "Thor 1"..."

"If you had filmed "Codename Shero" at that time, I promise I would be obedient." Kevin replied with some humor, "Oh, be careful—"

He gave Jenny a tug to avoid a cloud of condensation pouring down her head, and Jenny said, "Well, if Bob doesn't convince me to join the Avengers—"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the flashing lights in the passage beside her - Jenny almost instinctively broke away from Kevin's hand, and at the same time realized that she still had a faint smile on her face , and what the scene just now would have looked like on the photo——she cursed softly, "" and amplified her voice, "Who's there? Come out—— Woody, Woody—"

The team of bodyguards who have almost never left for several years has already rushed over from the other side of the passage. Jenny comforted Kevin who was still a little confused, "I'm sorry, I should have come to take pictures of my paparazzi", while signaling Woody to stay Protecting her, while another bodyguard on duty got into the corner, and after a while, he came over holding a paparazzi's arm.

"Give me the camera." He said gruffly, obviously displeased with his work mistakes, "This is a private space, you have crossed the line."

"Besides, I'm with Kevin, not a star." Jenny said—seeing the expression on the other's face, she added, "He's the president of Marvel Studios...you're new to the industry Is it?"

"I'm a reporter from the Daily Mirror," said the paparazzi in a thick Cockney accent, and he shook off the bodyguards before Jenny said, "Don't try to pay me off - I got a picture Great photo, I know it will give me a strong report, I am British and the suit here is not binding on me.”

Woody let out a suppressed roar, and he stepped forward, touching his fists suggestively, but Jenny stopped him.

"Interesting." She looked at the paparazzi and felt that he was a bit special, "You are emphasizing your advantages, so you still want to make a deal?"

The paparazzi swallowed, it could be seen that Woody made him very nervous, but he was trying to encourage himself not to be defeated by fear.

"Yes," he said, pulling out the camera's memory card, "I want to ask you a question - if you can answer me, it's yours, if not... I'll sue your bodyguards Physical injury, you know, there's always some physical contact in the way he gets the memory card."

Jenny squinted at the memory card—she was genuinely interested now.

"That's not enough," she said, "and your phone is also going to be checked by Woody - you might as well talk about your problem, if it can be resolved peacefully, let's keep it low-key, okay?"

"Okay, I know what you're thinking—but this has nothing to do with your divorce case." The paparazzi said, he picked up his mobile phone and handed it to Woody—and at this moment, his expression was There was a change, as if a corner of the mask was broken on his face, and the vivid expression mixed with hope and fear revealed his true feelings from this corner, making him look extraordinarily sincere at this moment. "Do you remember Jeff Cohen - he is my friend."

Jenny's breathing paused.

"He disappeared—if you don't know, after he was charged for wiretapping." The paparazzi was watching her expression carefully, his suspicion and the smell of sweat on his body came together, so strong that it was hard to ignore. "It's weird because Sheff hasn't heard from him in four years, not even a call after the limelight has passed - you know, it's not like him."

Thanks to Cesare's training for many years, Jenny was sure that she hadn't revealed any flaws, she snorted, indicating that she was not interested in this matter, "So?"

"I know—the wiretapping incident has brought you a lot of trouble," the paparazzi's suspicion seemed to have eased, but he still didn't give up, but smacked his lips and made a last effort, "I want to know , did you—did you—let someone teach him a lesson..."

"A way to make him disappear?" Jenny asked back, she made sure her tone was so incredible, "Who do you think I am? Edgar Hoover? cia?"

Woody, who has always been reticent, let out a deep laugh, "geez! You british guys—what do you think we are, Jennifer's thugs?"

"Uh——" Even Kevin, who had been speechless all this time, laughed, which greatly shook the paparazzi's confidence, and he took a step back, "Uh——"

Jenny signaled Woody to take the camera away, "I can assure you that his disappearance has nothing to do with me."

She said indifferently, "This is a private domain, you are not allowed to come in, next time I see you, I will call the police - I will ask Woody to get my phone and camera with my passport tomorrow, now you can go back the same way."

Under the guard of two bodyguards and Kevin, the paparazzi took a few steps back, and finally trotted into the darkness, Kevin shook his head, "It is necessary to strengthen the security of the set—think about it, if they I caught that person..."

"Yes, this is the top priority." Jenny suppressed all her thoughts and walked forward with Kevin again. She stared at the darkness in the passage and asked suddenly. "James—was he the only one there when you chased him just now?"

"Yes, no accomplices." James said. "Is something wrong, j.j?"

"It's nothing..." Jenny said, "I just feel like someone is watching me—"

She shook her head and quickened her pace. "About the big news related to that person..."
