Chapter 2744

Eddie took a deep breath. He just didn't believe this evil. He admitted that these two scripts were indeed a bit ordinary, but after all, he was an author himself, and directing was a halfway house. Being able to write like this was already quite good, right?

But seeing Schiller still insisting, Eddie continued to look down. He just didn't believe he couldn't write a story that satisfied the investor.

The next opportunity came, because later it was about the documentary of Stark's wedding trip, that is, various superheroes gathered together. This was too good to film. After all, it had already been popular on the internet once before, so there was no need to worry about promotion. As long as the script and filming didn't have problems, it would definitely be a big hit.

The key is that the script for an ensemble drama is harder to write, because the time is short, and it has to be divided among many main characters, and everyone must have their own story line and emotional line, and at the same time, there must be a main line that is scattered but not chaotic, which is quite a test of the screenwriter's and director's skills.

Eddie rubbed his hands. After all, he was the director of the wedding documentary before, and he remembered many details very clearly. Although he could use this advantage to film variety shows full of gimmicks, he wasn't afraid of filming movies either.

Eddie thought for a moment. Of course, the most important thing for an ensemble drama is everyone's motivation. A random entry without motivation will seriously disrupt the rhythm, and all motivations must eventually be intertwined, otherwise it will flash from beginning to end without focus.

Finally, Eddie still set his sights on the space station.

Stark basically provided most of the technology needed for the space station, so he was very proud of it, and also boasted about it at his own wedding banquet, and there was no lack of sarcasm towards the magic side in his words.

Strange, as the Sorcerer Supreme, was very displeased with his behavior of belittling magic. He believed that in humanity's journey toward the starry sea, science shouldn't be the only one to dominate, and magic must also have a place. Therefore, he believed that he could talk to Stark at this time to increase the magic factors in the space station and the exploration of the solar system.

The situation of mutants in the Andromeda galaxy was very good, but they believed that there should also be a base similar to a space station outside their capital planet, so the leader of the mutants contacted Wanda, who had just given birth to a child, hoping that she could probe Stark's tone at this gathering to see what kind of price could be used to exchange for such technology.

Asgard was not interested in how humans explored the solar system, but they believed that the Sorcerer Supreme should indeed have a stronger voice, because they themselves also belonged to a divine power civilization. To put it bluntly, they were here to back Strange up.

And Peter, who came as a researcher, and Captain America, who had made his identity public, were both concerned about another issue, which was whether work like the space station could continuously provide more job positions for ordinary people, allowing them to gain more benefits in such technological development.

And Schiller, he represented S. H. I. E. L. D. to mediate the relations between multiple parties to prevent them from fighting if they didn't agree. Of course, Nick also hoped to win more voice for S. H. I. E. L. D. in this process.

Eddie checked it several times and felt that everyone's motivations were basically in line with the stereotypes the outside world had of them. After that, it was a series of confrontations and negotiations, which looked harmonious on the surface, but were actually undercurrents surging, guessing, questioning, exchanging, and compromising with each other.

Eddie's ambition was very big. He believed that this film should be different from all the superhero documentaries filmed before. It shouldn't emphasize that they are superheroes, but emphasize that they are also individuals. They also have their own interests they want to strive for, and just like ordinary people, they don't give an inch in this regard. Superheroes have their own vanity fair.

This brand-new perspective was indeed very eye-catching, because in the public's impression, superheroes are all great, bright, and upright. At least on the surface, they all look united, helping each other, and willing to help others.

If one saw that they would still have disputes, quarrels, and even take action for certain interests, would bite the other party's meat like a hungry lion and not let go, would carefully probe, over-interpret, and fully suspect, this undoubtedly magnified the human side that constituted them.

The theme of "Real Superheroes" would definitely help this movie soar, and it would only be a matter of time before it became a global hit.

To be honest, this was already a bit beyond the ability of Eddie, a halfway director. He believed that he could find some big-name directors who had been famous for a long time to cooperate, believing that they would be interested in this kind of inside-story script about superheroes.

But Schiller still disagreed.

Finally, Eddie had to set his sights on the space station crash event. Disaster film, a type that if not filmed well, the movie, the director, and the investor would all be a disaster together, especially disaster films adapted from real events. Laughing and joking is equivalent to suicide.

This kind of film is often invested in by government departments of various countries. Generally speaking, it has a certain commemorative and warning significance, so it must be serious, serious, and serious again, fully expressing deep mourning, and absolutely cannot engage in any entertainment interpretation.

For a director, this was like the difficulty level going up another level, needing to dance in shackles. Eddie didn't have full confidence that he could write a good script, so he chose the most conservative way, just like filming a documentary, only presenting the facts.

But movies are different from documentaries. Movies need a main perspective. Eddie felt that the safest method was to start from the perspective of ordinary employees, presenting the scene of people helping each other in the air during this disaster and the cooperation of various countries on the ground.

Just when Eddie was modifying this script bit by bit, his phone suddenly rang, and immediately after, the screams of colleagues came from outside the door. Eddie hurriedly clicked on his phone and saw that the short video software he often watched had pushed a headline news to him.

The cover of the news was Mysterio's big face.

Unsurprisingly, Jameson chose to expose Mysterio.

Clicking on the video, the content was also very straightforward. Simply put, the boss of the Daily Bugle was invited by a mysterious person to conduct an interview, but discovered that it was precisely Mysterio, the hero who saved the space station. And in the process of the interview, he discovered that this person was full of loopholes. After the details of various interviews were dictated, the image of a self-important yet inferior and ignorant straw-bag liar jumped onto the paper.

The footage released immediately after further corroborated this point. When facing a huge spider monster, Mysterio simply fled in a panic, tripped over a stone halfway, and finally smashed his helmet. But the face revealed was Justin Balk, the only seriously injured person in the space station crash event that had also received much attention before.

Soon, colleagues who had worked together at Stark Industries recognized him. This person was not Balk at all, but Quentin Beck, a madman who caused destruction in the laboratory.

As more and more videos about Beck were released, people gradually pieced together the complete image of this liar. Simply put, he caused trouble himself but didn't dare to bear the consequences, changed his identity to evade responsibility, mixed into the space station, threw everything into chaos, and finally tried to play the savior but was exposed.

The image could almost not be worse.

But Eddie, looking at this news, was not like other netizens who only cared about condemning Beck. He suddenly thought, if the mastermind behind all this was Mysterio, then Aux, who was accused before, was actually wronged?

Eddie immediately had inspiration. He believed that he should start from Aux's perspective to interpret this space station crash event.

After all, he could be considered an insider. He had heard some news before. After Aux left the space station, he had been receiving psychological treatment, which proved that his mental state had problems.

Eddie thought, perhaps he could use the method of magical realism to present the terrifying space station from Aux's perspective at that time. This could not only give people a warning but also help Aux restore his social identity.

Of course, start writing from the moment Aux boarded the space station. On one hand, he had to bear the burden of his family, on the other hand, his work didn't go smoothly, and he was also provoked by villains, so his emotions gradually went out of control. More and more hallucinations appeared in Aux's mind, eventually leading him to attribute all the blame to himself.

Eddie wrote more and more smoothly, and in a short while, he wrote several pages of drafts. While writing, he introduced his ideas to Schiller, such as how to distinguish between the real world and hallucinations, how to express the painful struggle in Aux's heart, and at the same time, how to bring out the emergency situation of the space station at that time.

Rarely, Schiller listened carefully this time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he made Eddie want to hit the wall. He said: "Why did you only write about the oxygen deficiency in half of the space station? What about the other half?"

Eddie opened his mouth and said: "I mentioned it, Aux, who was trapped in the room, received the news, and the other half of the space station fell..."

"What about the details of the fall?"

"This has nothing to do with this movie." Eddie said: "The main character we are presenting is Aux, not the people on the other half of the space station. Movies need a certain degree of artistic processing, and you can't film everything. That would become a hodgepodge."

Schiller was just about to say something, but Eddie interrupted him and said: "I'm not saying that the staff on the other half of the space station are not worthy of sympathy. Besides recording facts, movies need to express expressionism and style, and need to achieve complete unity of characters, scenes, story lines, and the spirit expressed, otherwise it's a complete piece of trash."

"Just like if you film a teenage love story, you can't record every math class they take. Although in reality they definitely went to class, these details can neither reflect their character settings nor promote the main story line, so there's no need to film them at all."

"Just like the story I wrote, the other half of the space station did encounter a disaster, but it didn't cause any impact on this half of the space station. It has nothing to do with the main story line, didn't promote Aux's emotional changes, and couldn't better shape the spirit of everyone working together to get rid of disasters and difficulties. Then it is meaningless to this movie."

"I don't care, you must film it." Schiller stared at Eddie and said: "And the previous scripts are all no good. You have to film according to the facts."

"Then tell me what's no good about it." Eddie was also angered enough. He turned his chair around, hugged his arms, and looked at Schiller and said.

"First of all, Robbins has no growth plot." Schiller said: "Change the plot after he arrives at Kamar-Taj to him being defeated, locked up, and then escaping."

Eddie was stunned and said: "Why change it like this? I shaped a teenager who is not bad by nature but reckless and impulsive. In this style of movie, the protagonist must have growth..."

"Because that's how the facts happened." Schiller didn't dwell on this issue too much, but said very toughly: "Sandman also has to be changed, change it to him being kidnapped by Robbins, hypnotized and his ability went out of control, so he chased from the East Coast to the West Coast."

"Wait a minute, this is no longer a movie problem." Eddie said: "What about the motivation? Why would Robbins kidnap Sandman??"
