Chapter 334 Spirit World (Earth)
The shooting time of "Shang Qi 2" was finally set at 99 days.

This is an auspicious number in China.

In addition to the recording studio at the Disney headquarters, the final filming location is San Miguel in Mexico, which is a quiet village and used to be the filming location of Coco. The retreat of the character codenamed "Yinghuo".

The second filming location is Qingcheng Mountain in China. Many filmmakers like Qingcheng Mountain, saying that it has a texture-rich, beautiful, and poetic quality. The place where the inheritance of "Siming" is passed down through the ages.

In addition to the real landscape, Siming has the two abilities of "dream" and "realization", so there will be a lot of visual effects, in order to distinguish the difference between "Siming" and "Doctor Strange", so as to facilitate later integration of revenge In the League of Legends universe, Disney's special effects artist designed a unique and exclusive effect for Siming: emotional rainbow.

In the movie, Siming can get colored 'emotions' from other humans, such as red for anger, blue for happiness, gray for sadness, and pink for love. These emotions will constitute Siming's basic ability, which is " "Fate Weapon", such as using anger to break through the limit of strength, this will definitely have a lot of "laughing" results when given to the Hulk.

Truman, Feng Zikai and others pondered over this idea proposed by the Marvel comics department. They can’t say it’s wrong, and they can’t say it’s all right... It’s really difficult for Westerners to understand what is meant by ‘fate’. .

In terms of higher-level presentation forms, Marvel Comics has designed a combat space called "Spiritual World", which is born from human thinking like a dream and exists around the real world, like a low-dimensional space. parallel to the real world.

Once you master and activate the ability of "command", you can enter this space. When fighting in it, you can also win by destroying the opponent's mind. This is creatively modeled on the mirror world of "Doctor Strange". In terms of expression It borrows from "Inception" and adds Chinese characteristics. The two sides in the battle can summon the "fate" gathered by dreams, which is even more dazzling.

When making this setting, in order to prevent the audience from being overwhelmed by too much information, and the scary situation of "unintelligible", the Marvel Comics Department intends to let other Avengers come in here, such as Shang Qi Adoring Captain America, the first "fate" he summoned was Captain America.

The "spiritual world" will only appear in Shangqi's own big movie. Once it joins other universes, Shangqi will only have the basic ability of "emotional rainbow". Of course, Shangqi will have other settings, but they are based on this as the basis.

Shang Qi at this moment is indeed convenient to integrate into other hero groups. At present, there is indeed one less Marvel hero who can control the human mind like Dr. X, and Shang Qi can fill this gap.

In the big movie "Shang Qi", Shang Qi will fight against the evil organization that now controls the command. A world is waiting for you to save.

After setting the ability and organization of Commander, "Shang Qi 2" will not be as loosely structured as "Shang Qi 1", and other plots can be shown in a logical way, although it is still the boy who has obtained the inheritance and defeated the evil villain. One set, but Marvel only loves this one set.

After the new draft of Shangqi ability design appeared in early March, Disney executives were quite satisfied with it, because it was quite interesting. It not only had a refreshing oriental traditional culture, but also skillfully integrated into the Marvel system. The filming officially started.

Due to the order of several filming locations, the entire plot was also shot in disorder. First, a series of "spiritual world" battle scenes were shot on the green screen at the Disney headquarters, and the film animation studio would produce them simultaneously to save time.

Due to the current high labor costs in Hollywood, almost all CG animation productions have been transferred to Chinese animation studios, so more Chinese people appeared on the set, and the communication between directors, animation designers and protagonists is almost all in Chinese. A spectacle on the set of Disney headquarters.

There is nothing to say about green screen shooting, just pretending to be in various poses before the green screen. As the leading actor, Liu Tianxian is already very proficient in this shooting technique, but he still feels moved by Truman's firm belief.

When other actors face the green screen, for example, the staff is holding a piece of cardboard with red tape on it, telling you that this is Captain America’s shield, and Captain America is behind this shield, then this performance is a typical non-physical , the performance will inevitably feel absurd and laugh.

But Truman not once.

"Captain America!" Truman made a surprise gesture towards the piece of paper, "You are here! Quick, help me block them!"

Captain America will add a sentence here: "Do I need to fight for a day?"

Chris Evans (actor of the US team) has not come to the set yet, and everyone currently has no physical objects or live performances.

Liu Tianxian, who was standing next to Trumen, was emotionally out of touch with Trumen, and made director Feng Zikai yell "click", but the director was not angry, so he came over and asked Liu Tianxian very patiently if he was tired and if he wanted to take a rest.

"Shang Qi 2" has a good atmosphere, which is the only time Liu Tianxian has ever seen in his life. No matter how friendly the director is, he will get angry. Like Li Ang, who has a good temper, it is inevitable that he will be unhappy sometimes, but Feng Zikai does not, and neither does Truman. , the two directors seem to have incomparable patience, and they are calm about all accidents.

In addition, the two investors who watched the filming every day with a small bench and a big tea mug—Liu Tianxian knew that they had invested all their wealth in "Shang Qi 2", so they were able to be so calm.

All in all, in this harmonious atmosphere, Liu Tianxian feels naive and enterprising like going back to kindergarten. All the film-related staff simply want to be better and better.

Liu Tianxian was indeed tired. She said that it would be smoother if she took a rest, so she went to the side to rest.

Truman and Feng Zikai began to discuss the plot, and Feng Zikai said: "Disney suggested that we can add the appearance of the Hulk in the spiritual world, but it requires a performance fee of 50 US dollars."

$50 may seem expensive, but Captain America was paid $100 million. This is Marvel’s internal price. If other movies want to use these two images of these two IPs, they must do so in the form of commercial endorsements. Talk, at least millions.

"I think it's too expensive," Truman said.

"It's still worth the money." Feng Zikai said.

"Isn't it cheaper to invite Thor?" Truman asked.

"The image of Thor is the same as that of Captain America. Why don't you invite Ant-Man, the giant Ant-Man can be a bright spot, and it's cheaper." Feng Zikai suggested.

"Well, this is good." Truman said.
