Chapter 259: Contaminate a new realm

This concept was first established by Murphy, who communicated with all the main creators. During the filming, it was also reiterated to further emphasize that the heads of the department should not forget this.

He worked with the team on three typical cult-style noir films, "Saw", "Scary Planet" and "Sin City", which have styles that will definitely affect everyone involved in the production, but Murphy doesn't want to shoot "Deadpool" as a work similar to the first three.

The reason is very simple. The film was produced by Twentieth Century Fox. The investment of up to 60 million US dollars and his first film to enter the mainstream commercial film industry determine that "Deadpool" cannot be those films.

In any case, "Saw", "Scary Planet" and "Sin City" are both typical genre films, and they are relatively small audiences in genre films. Their investments are relatively limited, and the audience they target is also a small group of people with very clear goals.

But "Deadpool" is different. This is a typical commercial film. Murphy has more box office expectations for this film.

As a director, talking about box office seems to be inexperienced and it is a very depressing behavior. However, in Hollywood, directors who don’t talk about box office are hooligans.

Currently, the mainstream large-scale commercial films in Hollywood are facing a good era. Although in Hollywood, the standard for success of a director has never been single, box office is an extremely important basis. In Hollywood, the extremely commercial and industrialized film industry circle, whether it is an art film director or a commercial film director, it can even be said that there is no possibility of becoming a director without box office and market value.

At the beginning, Murphy's favorite superhero was Marvel Comics and Batman that were more suitable for this era, but reality would not be shifted by his personal will. In the end, he could only target the alternative character Deadpool.

The film "Deadpool" bears too much hope. Murphy is very clear that he has switched to mainstream commercial movies for the first time. If he fails, he will definitely be beaten back to the independent film industry. He may not find a good opportunity in the future.

This also determines that the style of "Deadpool" must be compromised with business and cannot be too niche and dark.

To put it bluntly, Murphy just wanted more viewers to watch "Deadpool" and contribute the box office to this film.

Therefore, the black style of "Deadpool" is more reflected in color design and black humor, rather than in content and theme. For example, the tones of the film will be mainly extended by gray, dark, cold, etc.

In Hollywood films, tones are often a direct reflection of the film and the protagonist.

For example, the black that Murphy has always been good at using has many meanings such as negation, strength, ****, mystery, fear, anonymity, unhappiness, depth, style, evil, sadness, regret, anger, etc.

As long as the tone of the film does not go astray, the shooting will be relatively smooth.

Starting from the next day, Murphy added a large number of action scenes to the shooting, and continued to use some high-speed slow motion to slow down to set off the fast. When shooting action scenes, he would also become a reviewer and hand over the pure action scenes to the action guidance team for control.

However, all the action shots taken must follow his philosophy, and Deadpool's action scenes must also contrast with his personality.

In the next few days, Murphy would also listen to Seth Logan's opinions appropriately for shooting some humorous scenes. He asked Seth Logan to join the drama group as an assistant director, in order to assist him in shooting some humorous and funny scenes.

There is no omniscient and omnipotent director in this world, and he is no exception. Language humor can be expressed through actors like Robert Downey Jr., and some typical American body humor are really not capable of. He is neither good at funny nor actually growing up in this country, nor can he understand and control American body humor language.

For example, American humor frequently mentions sex, organs, and uses body movements to show large-scale sex. It is implied that Murphy doesn't think it is funny at all, but some people can laugh so hard that they can't stand up.

It is no exaggeration to say that his funny points with the people around him are not on the same plane at all.

In contrast, some of the lines designed by Robert Downey Jr. for Deadpool are more interesting.

Those who designed lines for Deadpool include Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan and Jonah Hill, and even a story about Gal Gadot in a play where Wade Wilson confesses to Vanessa.

These lines can be said to have reached a new level. In the entire script, there is basically no line of Deadpool's lines that are "clean" and simple and straightforward "f-words". The little slut in the script opens its mouth, and pornographic jokes with various levels of connotation pop up every now and then.

In the words of Robert Downey Jr., watching this movie is definitely a test to test the level of "pollution level" of friends around you. The audience who laughs the most frequently and loudest on the scene is definitely a "pollution level 10 scholar", because this person must have gotten all the pornographic jokes from straightforward to obscure to super obscure, and audiences who only know how to count how many "f words" appear in the film are already very stupid and naive.

However, no matter how ugly the pornographic jokes are, they only have the skills to speak. If you want to get into a new realm, Murphy of course needs to let Deadpool use movements to match them.

There are also various passionate scenes. In a large-scale shooting, the male and female protagonists not only teased Master Yoda and Luke Skywalker, but also did a whole year, spending them all on the bed from Valentine's Day to Christmas.

Moreover, there has been filming and success in "City of Sin", and Jessica Alba, who plays Vanessa, no longer rejects shooting large-scale action scenes.

But in order to consider hierarchical considerations and to appear in more overseas markets, Murphy has restrained too much compared to "Sin City". The picture is not particularly excessive. At most, Jessica Alba is naked, Robert Downey Jr. guards the front and back of the keys*****

However, some things cannot be expressed directly from the camera, but they can be associated with the audience in another way. For example, Murphy then filmed a scene, asking Jessica Alba to Robert Downey Jr. to have an anus... No, it was Vanessa's anus that exploded Deadpool.

Even if the visible scale of the camera has a bottom line, the content of the camera "left blank" can definitely make the audience "dirty"!

The exact situation can be said to be so. Although the camera was not completely shot, Xiao Jianjian was definitely the first superhero on the screen to be attacked by the "Queen".

Among all the scenes that have been filmed, Murphy is actually very careful to control the scale. The director is very clear that he is going to make a popular film instead of the purer black films before.

Therefore, Murphy still made the whole film dirty on the outside and warm on the inside, filled with the so-called mainstream aesthetics of North American audiences. Just like the little slutty, it was full of all kinds of non-heroic qualities, but in the end it had to run wildly on the road of heroes.

He will make all the yellow, violent, dirty, and cheap mixed together, and then form a very warm and touching core.

Among them, the purest and sincere love that Deadpool Xiao Jianjian and Vanessa ended up with non-mainstream ways of getting along with each other. The "live-to-death" way of getting along with friends is undoubtedly extremely in line with the so-called mainstream values ​​and the aesthetics of mainstream audiences.

Half a month after filming at Fox Studios, Murphy led the crew to a bar that Paul Wilson contacted, and hired a large number of strong and fierce Australian extras to start filming scenes at the Mercenary Bar.

It was here that Deadpool and Vanessa met.

The bar was crowded with alcohol and impulse. One extras after another came out of the makeup cart outside and walked into the bar. Then they were taken to their respective positions by Seth Logan and Paul Wilson, and then told them what to pay attention to when shooting.

David Robbie was bringing people to arrange the lights; Helena Espora adjusted the background of the bar and covered the entire white wall with a slightly shabby and gray set; Jack Watson stood beside Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba, directing two makeup artists to make up for the male and female protagonists.

Murphy stood in the corner of the bar and discussed the shooting with Filey Raschel for a while.

"I don't need a shaking shot." He rejected Filey Raschel's proposal, "abandoning the portable camera and switching to Stenikon."

Filey Raschel nodded, "Yes."

"I also need your main camera to take a panoramic view." He pointed to the bar counter. "After the heroine appeared, Stenikon followed her and shot it in a semi-arc motion track."

The shooting must be carried out according to the actor's position.

After communicating with Filey Raschel, Murphy walked over and explained to Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba. After all the preparations were ready, the shooting began immediately.

"Oh, oh, oh, baby..."

In front of the counter at the bar, Jessica Alba, who was dressed in sexy clothes, turned out from behind Robert Downey Jr., and deliberately teased his body with one hand, his tone was full of provocativeness, "Do you want to ejaculate?"

A photography assistant with Stenikon set up has been pointing the lens at Jessica Alba.

This line also shows Vanessa's identity, a woman who makes a living by selling her body.

Jessica Alba transferred to Robert Downey Jr., "Do you want to spend all the money?"

"It's hard..." Robert Downey Jr. made a very ambiguous gesture first and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Jessica Alba pressed a hand on Robert Downey Jr.'s chest and then slashed downwards. "You'll tell me who you are."

She said first, "I am Vanessa."

Robert Downey Jr. replied, "I'm Wade."

Is this introduction of the male and female protagonists a bit dull? Some of them do not conform to Wade Wilson's personality? Thinking of this, Murphy shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Then he waved, "Donny, Jesse, come here."
