Chapter 2781 Star Core Rescue (Forty-One)

Chapter 2755 Star Core Rescue (Forty-one)

Eddie took a deep breath. He didn't believe it. He admitted that the two scripts were indeed a bit ordinary, but he was an author after all. He became a director halfway through his career. It was already very good to be able to write like this, right?

But seeing that Schiller still insisted, Eddie continued to read on. He didn't believe that he couldn't write a story that would satisfy the client.

The next opportunity came, because there was a documentary about Stark's wedding journey, that is, all the superheroes gathered together. This was too exciting. After all, it had been popular on the Internet before. There was no need to worry about publicity. As long as there were no problems with the script and filming, it would definitely be a big hit.

The key is that the script of a group drama is more difficult to write, because the time is short, and it has to be divided among many main characters, and each person must have his own story line and emotional line, and at the same time there must be a main line that is scattered in form but not scattered in spirit, which is a great test of the skills of the screenwriter and director.

Eddie was ready to go. After all, he was the director of a wedding documentary before, and he remembered many details very clearly. Although he could use this advantage to shoot a variety show full of gimmicks, he was also good at making movies.

Eddie thought about it. Of course, the most important thing for a group drama is everyone's motivation. The intrusion of people without motivation will seriously disrupt the rhythm, and all motivations must be intertwined in the end, otherwise it will flash from beginning to end without focus.

In the end, Eddie still set his sights on the space station.

Stark basically provided most of the technology needed for the space station, so he was very proud of it. He also boasted about it at the banquet where he prepared for his wedding, and there was no lack of irony about the magic side in his words.

As the Supreme Sorcerer, Strange was very dissatisfied with his behavior of belittling magic. He believed that science should not be the only one to dominate the journey of mankind to the interstellar sea, and magic must also have a place. Therefore, he thought he could talk to Stark at this time to increase the magic factor in the space station and the exploration of the solar system.

The mutants are doing well in the Andromeda Galaxy, 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, hoping that she could test Stark's opinion at this gathering to see what price she could pay for such technology.

Asgard is not interested in how humans explore the solar system, but they believe that the Supreme Sorcerer should have a stronger voice, because they themselves belong to the divine civilization. To put it bluntly, they are here to support Strange.

Peter, who came as a researcher, and Captain America, who is publicly identified, are both concerned about another issue, that is, whether work such as space stations can continue to provide more jobs for ordinary people and allow them to gain more benefits from such technological development.

Schiller, on behalf of SHIELD, mediates the relationship between the multiple parties to prevent them from fighting over a disagreement. Of course, Nick also hopes to gain more voice for SHIELD in this process.

Eddie checked several times and felt that everyone's motives basically matched the outside world's stereotypes of them. Then there was a series of confrontations and negotiations. On the surface, they seemed to be happy, but in fact, there were undercurrents, mutual speculation, questioning, exchange and compromise.

Eddie was very ambitious. He thought that this film should be different from all the superhero documentaries he had shot before. It did not emphasize that they were superheroes, but emphasized that they were also individuals. They also had their own interests to fight for. Like ordinary people, they would not give in in this regard. Superheroes have their own fame and fortune.

This new view is indeed very eye-catching, because in the public's impression, superheroes are all great and glorious, at least on the surface, they all seem to be united, helping each other, and willing to help others.

If you see them still arguing, quarreling or even fighting for certain interests, they will bite each other's meat like a hungry lion and refuse to let go, they will carefully test, over-interpret, and fully doubt, which will undoubtedly make the human side of what constitutes them bigger.

The theme of "real superheroes" will definitely help this movie soar, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular all over the world.

To be honest, this is beyond the ability of Eddie, a half-way director. He thinks he can find some well-known big-name directors to cooperate with, and he believes that they will be interested in this kind of superhero insider script.

But Schiller still disagrees.

In the end, Eddie had to focus on the space station crash. Disaster movies, if not well shot, are the type of movies that will follow the director and the investors into a disaster, especially disaster movies adapted from real events, which are equivalent to suicide.

Such films are often invested by government departments of various countries. Generally speaking, they have certain commemorative and warning significance, so they must be serious and serious, fully express the deep remembrance, and absolutely cannot be interpreted in an entertaining way.

For the director, this is like the difficulty has reached another level, and he needs to dance with shackles. Eddie is not completely sure that he can write a good script, so he chose the most conservative way, just like making a documentary, only presenting facts.

But movies are different from documentaries. Movies need to have a main perspective. Eddie thinks the safest way is to start from the perspective of ordinary employees and present the scene of people helping each other in the air and countries on the ground contacting and cooperating in this disaster.

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 Mysterio's big face.

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 his attempt to play the savior 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 space station crash from Oakes' 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 a magical realism approach 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 staff on the space station are not worthy of sympathy. In addition to recording the facts, the film 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 you do it, then there is no need to shoot.”

"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 Oaks' emotional changes, nor could it be better shaped. The spirit of everyone working together to get out of disaster and trouble would be 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. “Change the story from when he got to Karma Taj to him being defeated, locked up, and running away.”

Eddie was stunned and said: "Why do you want to change it like this? I am portraying 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 say that he was kidnapped by Robbins 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 about the motive? Why did Robbins kidnap the Sandman??"
