Chapter 468: superhero promo
"I read the old books
Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries
The Avengers as they dictate
Hired Heroes of Eclipse
and iron man before the flight
The refurbishment is pending
But I don't have that fate
She told me where do you want to go
How many storms do you want to go through?
…”
In terms of lyrics, Dunn has made some changes, turning the previous version of "Captain America" into "Ghost Rider" and "Midnight's Son" into "Hero for Hire".
Through the lyrics of this second paragraph, it can also be seen that Dunn has made up his mind.
He wants to develop two major series of Marvel at the same time!
He wants to walk out of his own way of Marvel, and he will never copy the routine of the previous life!
One is the "Avengers" series, which focuses on witty and entertaining popcorn themes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Ant-Man, etc.; the other is the "Heroes for Hire" series, which focuses on serious and dark epic themes, including Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, etc.
This song, 4 minutes and 25 seconds in length, Zack Snyder listened to it quietly twice, and then nodded: "Unfortunately, if several other superheroes can be as well known as 'Spider-Man', the lyrics will be more It resonates. Of course, the melody is catchy enough."
"I didn't expect you to know music."
Dunn smiled and replied.
This is normal. Many Hollywood producers and directors are proficient in music, such as Clint Eastwood, such as J.J. Abrams and others, all have the strength to compete for Grammys.
Zach Snyder asked: "Do you want me to help you do the music video for this song?"
Tang En said: "The shooting of "Ghost Rider" will not start until September. There is too much time. Why don't we take this opportunity to make a short short film and accumulate experience in special effects production."
Zach Snyder is hard to understand.
What special effects can mv have?
Even if there is, it is only fifty cents for special effects, which is completely different from the movie.
"Boss, you may... don't know much about the MV production process of the song, it's very simple, it doesn't need to be like a movie at all..."
Before Zach Snyder's words were finished, Dunn waved his hand and interrupted him, "No, Zach, you misunderstood! I want to shoot v!"
"Cinema level?" Zach Snyder was stunned.
Dunn smiled and said, "This song is called "Just Want This", but I prefer another name - "The Song of Marvel", so do you understand what I mean?"
Zach Snyder suddenly realized, "You mean... with this song, you want to introduce these Marvel superheroes to fans around the world? Yeah, yes! You and the Portman couple are going to be a huge hit. Through this song, superheroes like 'Ant-Man', 'Daredevil', 'Iron Man', and 'Ghost Rider' will definitely become familiar names to everyone!"
Dunn nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it means. There are thousands of superheroes in Marvel, but there is only one 'Spider-Man' that is really well-known. Compared with dc comics, this is the biggest disadvantage. So we need to use One way to turn Marvel's heroes into people's names."
Zach Snyder's experience was deeper, and when he looked at Dunn, there was a kind of worship, "This is the value of the film, right? Through music, develop the added value of the film to attract more fans to watch and then we will Movies like Daredevil, Ant-Man, Ghost Rider, etc. to be released.”
Tang En smiled slightly, "It seems that you have a deep enough understanding of the third point of the explosion theory. Next, it depends on your understanding of the fourth point."
"The fourth point?" Zach Snyder immediately had a concept in his mind, "Highlight special effects!"
With the increasing number of special effects movies, in order to attract more attention from movie fans, it is necessary to produce special effects shots with enough highlights to stand out in a series of special effects blockbusters.
The plot of "Avatar" is actually very general. The fundamental reason why the box office sold 2.8 billion US dollars is that every shot of "Avatar" is a special special effect shot!
But Zack Snyder still had a hard time understanding, "What are the production highlights of the mv of the song?"
It's impossible to carefully polish the scenes of Dunn and Natalie showing their affection, frame by frame, right?
Dunn shook his head, "Zach, you still don't understand what I mean. I'm not trying to make a traditional MV short film, but to promote Marvel's superheroes. In other words, I want you to use this song to make a movie Marvel superhero promo!"
Zach Snyder gasped.
There is Ruo Daigo empowerment, and the jam is opened!
He is already a film director. Dunn asked him to make a music video for a song. At first, it made him feel a little bit conflicted. He didn't want to go back to his old business.
If he hadn't looked at the face of the big boss, Tang En, he would have left the table in anger.
But now, he finally understands that Tang En asked him to shoot this mv, which is a good opportunity that he couldn't ask for!
The promotional film of Marvel superheroes, and it is equipped with the affectionate singing of the big boss Dun Walker and the boss Natalie Portman, this is the rhythm of the fire!
In this mv, it is not the singing scene of Dunn and Natalie, but the content of the lyrics to show the appearance of superheroes!
Dunn smiled and said: "I have never doubted your directing ability. However, "Ghost Rider" is different from "Chainsaw" and "Resident Evil", and needs more big scenes. This MV has a previous The seven superheroes before and after, except for Odin, can best be reflected."
Zach Snyder pondered for a while, "I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
"Say!"
"First, these superheroes are all different characters, different shapes, and different styles of screen switching, which will cost more money."
Zach Snyder's face was a little dignified.
His previous MVs cost $350,000 at most. Dunn's requirements are so high, and he also requires special special effects. In his opinion, the cost of each superhero's design, composition, image synthesis, etc. is more than 350,000 US dollars!
Dunn has five fingers on his right hand, "I'll give you $5 million!"
Zach Snyder hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "It's still difficult."
Dunn shook his head and said, "$5 million is enough! We've already made two "Spider-Man" movies, and "Daredevil" is also filming. The footage of these two heroes can be edited out of the movie, no need extra cost."
Zach Snyder nodded, "There is a more important issue~www.wuxiaspot.com~The choice of actors!"
So many superheroes will be made into separate movies in the future. If the actor is determined now, it may cause trouble or even change when a movie is made in the future.
But Dunn had already thought about it all over the place and smiled: "Zach, you've thought too much. 'Spider-Man' and 'Daredevil', needless to say, are James Franco and Christian Bale; The choice of 'Ghost Rider' is almost the same, and it was confirmed in Gerard Butler and Clive Owen; the actor of 'Ant-Man' is also basically set, it is Paul Rudd, he is my former A good friend of Reese's secretary, they've acted in movies together, and they've acted in Friends."
"But what about Iron Man? And Thor?"
"'Iron Man' is very simple. He wears a helmet, and he doesn't need to show his face. 'Thor'... He is a god, he only needs to strike thunder from the air. He has a frame image and does not need to show his face."
Zach Snyder listened, and even pouted, Dunn's attitude was too perfunctory.
Tang En waved his hand, "Zach, I'll leave this matter to you. You and your wife have a lot of experience in video games. If you have difficulties, you can find a solution by yourself. I just want the result!"
Zach Snyder sat on the sofa, thought for a while, and nodded, "Okay, I'll try."
Dunn said: ""Spider-Man 2" will be released on May 3, and "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones" will be released on May 16. I hope this MV will be broadcast on major TV stations in the United States in mid-May. Come out, I'm going to make a splash and draw attention to Spider-Man 2!"
"There are still two and a half months." Zach Snyder calculated secretly and took a deep breath, "Enough!"
