Chapter six hundred and eighty fifth cold and cruel

After chatting for more than half an hour, Matthew took the lead and left. Kevin Feige sat on the seat but did not move. Through the glass curtain wall, he watched Matthew get into a Mercedes-Benz sedan under the bodyguard's escort. He couldn't help but remember what Matthew had just said.

It is recognized in the circle that Matthew Horner has unique features in choosing movies and is also very thoughtful about the production of the movie.

That success again and again is the best proof.

Kevin Feige has actually experienced it, for example, Matthew Horner highly recommended Robert Downey Jr., and it turns out that Robert Downey Jr. is simply a natural Tony Stark.

Also, Matthew Horner complained about Gwyneth Paltrow's role as Little Pepper, but after the movie came out, the character Little Pepper was criticized the most.

Many examples prove that North American audiences don't seem to like Gwyneth Paltrow very much.

Kevin Fitch sighed that Matthew Horner had a worse insight into the market.

Although "Iron Man" has achieved great success, several major productions with investments of more than US$150,000 were launched one after another, and Kevin Feige was also under great pressure.

He knew that this would directly affect his future.

Walt Disney has a very high chance of success in the acquisition of Marvel Comics. If Disney really supports him in the future, he must prove that he has the ability to lead the Marvel superhero movies to be extremely successful.

Today, he asked Matthew Horner to come over. On the one hand, he confirmed Matthew Horner's true view on Disney's acquisition of Marvel, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ask Matthew Horner's thoughts about Marvel superhero movies.

This is related to Matthew Horner's investment, and he believes Matthew Horner will not joke about tens of millions of dollars in investment.

Kevin Feige considered what Matthew just said very seriously, which made a very reasonable way to develop.

Movies, especially commercial productions, have too many unstable factors, so it is too far to consider the future "Avengers".

If a single superhero movie cannot be successful, a team of characters that have not been seen on the big screen will also receive extremely limited attention.

The practice of superheroes teaming up as a station must be very interesting for movie audiences, especially when you can watch all this on a larger screen than a comic. The setting of the comics themselves being connected is already very interesting. If you can experience such a wonderful story in the cinema, the audience and fans will definitely be satisfied.

And in the shooting and production of these individual movies, some seeds can be planted like the easter eggs at the end of "Iron Man". If these seeds can ferment successfully, they may be able to exchange for three movies of a certain character, but if not, forget it.

In this way, if you have better ideas for the movie, plant some seeds in a movie and sell well in the end, there will be several movies that will follow. But if this seed is not accepted by everyone and it ruins the movie, then see you again, and you can do something else.

The more Kevin Feige thought about it, the more he felt that Matthew Horner's words made sense. To make these movies well, it is not to sit down and discuss how to establish a worldview, but to discuss how to shoot this part first. If the reaction is positive and the audience is interested, continue to extend it.

This sounds very simple, but it is not easy for Marvel, who suddenly succeeded after years of ups and downs.

The poor get rich often leads to vicious expansion, pursuing something that is too far away, thus ignoring the most important foundation in front of them.

Marvel Comics must not become like this.

It seems that Matthew Horner is reminding himself in this tactful way.

Kevin Feige nodded slightly. No wonder Matthew Horner was so successful. Such a clear mind was not something that anyone could have.

With this understanding, he felt that Marvel superhero movies would definitely be more successful.

Nowadays, the advancement of technology has made CG more high-standard, and only superhero-type movies can make the audience pay for it, and then one movie can be filmed after being liked by the audience...

Even Matthew himself would not have thought that Kevin Feige could extend so many things from his words.

I can only say that over-interpretation of such things often happens to everyone.

In November, Matthew returned to the crew of "Special Forces" to continue filming. After completing the interior scenes at the Houston Aircraft Factory, the crew flew directly to Europe. They first filmed in Paris for five days, then moved to London and Dublin respectively, and finally came to Iceland to shoot an extremely important action scene.

Although Iceland has not yet entered the coldest season of the year, thick down cold-proof clothing is a necessary equipment when walking on glaciers and high altitude areas.

As early as the early preparations, Stephen Somos came to Iceland in person to inspect and chose the Vatner Glacier as the shooting location.

This glacier is located near Hossic City in southeastern Iceland, with an area of ​​8,300 square kilometers. It is not only the largest glacier in Iceland, but also the largest glacier in Europe, second only to the Antarctic Glacier and Greenland Glacier.

After putting on makeup, Matthew put on thick white training clothes, and came out with a warm makeup trailer. Walking on the vast ice field, the sound of wind whistling in his ears, and from time to time you can see the hot springs formed by geothermal heat. This place is like a virgin land far away from human society. Nature uses its unique magical craftsmanship to carefully carve those uneven landforms, which can easily bring people a beautiful enjoyment.

The crew was busy decorating the shooting site. He walked forward for a while and saw Sienna Miller who had just come out of the makeup trailer.

"Hi, Matthew." Sienna Miller greeted him with a breath of breath.

Matthew walked on thick snow and came to Sienna Miller in a few steps, reminding him, "It's too cold, where is your coat?"

Compared to the down training uniform he wore, Sienna Miller still wore a tight black leather outfit for filming.

Sienna Miller's assistant chased out of the makeup trailer at this time, holding a long down cold-proof clothing in his hand. Matthew immediately took it over and helped Sienna Miller put it on.

"Thank you." Sienna Miller smiled, "I just came out in a hurry and forgot to wear it."

Matthew pointed to a high ground in front, which was the set and said, "Let's go there."

Sienna Miller was wearing black high-heeled leather boots for photography. It was inconvenient to walk on the snow and ice. After walking for a few steps, she started to slip. Matthew quickly held her.

"Be careful," he reminded.

Sienna Miller turned his head, smiled at him, hung on Matthew and walked towards the high ground.

"This weather..." Matthew looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, "It's too cold."

Sienna Miller complained, “Isn’t it more cost-effective to shoot blue screens in the studio? Why do you have to come to Iceland?”

Matthew shrugged, "I don't know either."

"Aren't you a producer?" asked Sienna Miller.

"I am a producer just named." What Matthew wants is to ensure his own rights and interests and basically not interfere with the normal operation of the crew. "Stephen Somos makes the decision in terms of shooting, and others cannot overstep their authority."

All he told is the truth.

Sienna Miller didn't believe it, "Do you have little power? Didn't you get a supporting actress to come to the crew?"

Matthew said casually, "Karolina Kokuva got the role through the audition."

How could Sienna Miller believe this? As long as you are not blind, you can see why Karolena Kokuva obtained the role of the redhead.

She heard a young girl who served as the assistant of Karolena Kokuva in the crew that once the Duke and the Redhead ended, Matthew and Karolena Kokuva hurried into the latter's makeup trailer. Not long after, Carollena Kokuva's painful shouts came from the trailer.

Later, when the two left the trailer, the girl went into the trailer and took a look. She saw that the resin handcuffs and imitation leather belts used by the crew to shoot were thrown on the ground at will, as if she had just been used and discarded.

Sienna Miller is a model and has not completely left the fashion circle. He has heard about some things about Karolena Kokuva. Now that I think about it, Karolena Kokuva will definitely pay a considerable price to join the crew.

However, she had no intention of contempt. She thought that she had also paid a lot when she switched from a model to an actor circle. Later, she used Jude Law's power, which led to her entanglement with Jude Law.

This circle is too unfriendly to women.

How many women have given their health and even more to get some resources?

What about the powerful men in Hollywood?

Thinking of this, Sienna Miller couldn't help but look at Matthew and nodded slightly. Among the powerful men in Hollywood, Matthew Horner is actually a very good reputation. Like most people, he makes deals with beautiful women, but actresses can get rewards by giving their efforts.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, Matthew Horner can be said to be a good person.

He helped Sienna Miller to the high ground, and the set was still being set up. Matthew found a place with a good view and looked into the distance.

A scene similar to Iceland with snowy sky is quite rare for him.

It looks like a plain, but it is actually a bowl-shaped highland. There are many towering mountains around the Vatner Glacier, some of which can be more than 6 feet above sea level.

From this we can see that there is a vast white area, the earth is white, and the sky is white.

The scene of the glacier is like a white miracle. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, people feel cold and cruel, like a poisonous snake.

No wonder Stephen Somos chose this place as the headquarters of the Cobra and asked for on-site shooting.
