Cao Xuan stayed in the United States for about a week, mainly doing various makeup trials on Hawkeye and finalizing some script details.
The shooting of "Hawkeye" is actually quite urgent. This is a new movie that was not planned. According to the original plan, they will shoot "The Avengers" early next year.
Now there is an "Eagle Eye" inserted, and the plan has changed, so we have to finish filming in February next year, and then start filming "The Avengers".
The director of "Eagle Eye" has been decided, that is, Jon Favreau, the director of the first two "Iron Man" films, is also the actor who plays Iron Man's fat bodyguard Harpy in the movie.
After directing "Iron Man 2", this man had creative differences with Marvel and announced that he would no longer direct "Iron Man 3", but he still participated as an actor.
At the same time, he has a close relationship with Marvel. He has served as the producer of "Iron Man 3", "Avengers 2" and other stars, and he can be regarded as a hardcore Marvel.
Originally, Jon Favreau no longer planned to direct Marvel movies, but this time he changed his mind because of "Hawkeye".
The main reason is that the plot of "Hawkeye" is more independent than that of "Iron Man 2", and there are not many other superheroes joining. Except for a few people from S.H.I.E.L.D., the main battle is Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Because the previous "Iron Man 2" was filmed and modified, a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. plots were inserted to pave the way for "The Avengers", which greatly reduced the independence of the film itself.
Jon Favreau resigned angrily because of this. If "Hawkeye" can maintain its creative independence, he can still trust Marvel.
Of course, the main reason is that he is a fan of Cao Xuan.
That's right, this new commercial star director who is famous in Hollywood for the "Iron Man" series, especially likes Cao Xuan's movies, and he has watched almost every movie of Cao Xuan.
As early as when he was filming "Iron Man", he wanted to invite Cao Xuan, but there was no suitable role.
Now that I learned that Marvel and Cao Xuan collaborated on "Eagle Eye", after inquiring clearly, I took the initiative to take over the director.
In addition, the cast of the "Eagle Eye" crew is still good.
Black Widow Scarlett Johansson, this drama is a serious heroine + second episode.
She had an emotional scene with Hawkeye in the movie. One of them was a childhood shadow, unwilling to open her heart, and the other was cold and arrogant, and she liked it in her heart, but she didn't say it.
The relationship line is very ambiguous, but it has never been made clear, at least the first part of "The Avengers" was not made clear, but the cp line is obvious.
Marvel has not yet determined how the follow-up will develop, whether to let the two go together completely, or let Hawkeye give up his heart to marry a wife and have children, and the two will become platonic confidants.
After strengthening, the strength of Hawkeye has soared. Even if Cao Xuan does not play, Marvel will not give up this role.
Since there is a female Hulk, a female Iron Man, a female Thor, and the second generation of Captain America, there can also be a female Hawkeye or the second generation of Hawkeye.
This new Hawkeye is a daughter in the original manga, but it can also be changed to a younger sister. Considering that Hawkeye is set to become an orphan, if it doesn't work, take an apprentice.
In any case, in Marvel's vision, the emotional line between Hawkeye and Black Widow is likely to become one of the important main lines of Marvel's previous stages.
In addition, there are three important characters in the "Eagle Eye" movie, the second male Barney and the big villain Egghead or Dr. Crazy, crossfire with the thugs under the big villain.
Barney is Hawkeye's brother in the original comics, and they learned skills together in the early years, and there is a brotherly battle in the comics.
The setting of the movie is an orphan who met in a circus when he was young. The two brothers had a good relationship when they were young, and they did secretly learn skills from "Swordsman" and "Jieshe". Set up a flower shelf.
After becoming an adult, Hawkeye left with his master Jieshe, honing his skills while robbing the rich and helping the poor.
And Barney also left the circus, relying on the skills he learned secretly, he was better than ordinary people, and joined a gang.
This gang is controlled by the villain of the "Eagle Eye" movie, and the two sides clashed.
Barney's setting is very simple, similar to Bucky, the good brother of the US team, who helps the evildoers to torture, wakes up, and the prodigal son turns back.
But although they are all from the old Ba family, he is much worse than Bucky. He has no skills. He was directly killed by the villain in the movie. The main credit is to stimulate the outbreak of Hawkeye's small universe.
Cao Xuan wants his own artist to win the role, but Marvel prefers European and American actors.
The director and producers preferred to call a British newcomer, Andrew Garfield, to play the role.
Well, that's The Amazing Spider-Man!
&At that time, there was no complete decision.
Until the filming of "Jinling Thirteen Beauties", Boss Zhang meddled in the new scene again, and Lao Mouzi was very conflicted by various related behaviors.
Therefore, Lao Mouzi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly contacted Li Xuejian, intending to join Fanxing's command.
"Xuanzi, what do you think?"
After Li Xuejian finished speaking, he took a sip of water, curious about his apprentice's attitude, and Cao Xuan didn't hide it from him.
"Director Zhang wants to come to Fanxing, of course I welcome it."
In Cao Xuan's heart, Lao Mouzi has always been a top-ranked director in China, but his shortcomings are obvious, but they can be made up for.
To be honest, Cao Xuan missed Lao Mouzi for not a day or two.
Director Chen doesn't like him, he doesn't like Feng's trousers, and the Wang brothers also take a close look at them. These top mainland directors belong to Lao Mouzi, who suits him and has the opportunity to poach them.
It's not in vain that his previous scheming in the Beijing Olympics and "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" seems to have left a good impression on Lao Mouzi.
Coupled with the advantages of Fanxing, Lao Mouzi immediately thought of Fanxing when he wanted to leave.
However, the matter of signing Lao Mouzi has to be done steadily.
On the one hand, the cooperation between the other party and the new screen "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has not yet ended, and Lao Mouzi can't just walk away.
On the other hand, if he remembers correctly, Boss Zhang has played a lot of dirty tricks, and Cao Xuan has to see if he can clean it up in private.
Even if it can't be cleaned up, let the thunder blow up a little bit, so that it won't cause too much negative disturbance.
Don't sign Lao Mouzi at that time. As a result, public opinion explodes and he has to avoid the limelight for two years. Then he, Mr. Cao, will suffer a loss.
Moreover, Boss Zhang is a bastard at best, but a mad dog at worst.
Really dug out Lao Mouzi, this guy might lose his mind and spit out everything. Although Cao Xuan is not afraid, he is still a trouble after all.
The most important thing is that Cao Xuan didn't want to turn this matter into Fanxing's bullying, poaching people's pillars, causing everyone in the company to be at risk, and it was not good for Fanxing and his reputation.
Cao Xuan thought about finding a chance to meet with Lao Mouzi, and see how he could calm him down and leave for Fanxing ?
