Chapter 4859: Wonderful Shadow and Marvelous Drama (Part III)

Shiler's scenes were concentrated in the first half of filming, and most of them were shot in the Hamptons in New York, using real locations from the Wang Guan area, as well as indoor scenes from his new house.

Luxi was mainly responsible for some everyday shots. He was really too suitable for this kind of medieval magic atmosphere shot. If Greed's part let the audience see Sapphire's outstanding talent and extraordinary wisdom, then Luxi let the audience see Sapphire's cultivation and elegance.

A character's temperament is very important. If there are no useless traits for the plot to shape his temperament, then the whole person will look like a tool for pushing the plot, lacking realism. Luxi's arrival made up for this very well.

He let the audience know what Sapphire is like in life. Luxi's slightly old-fashioned lifestyle just happened to match the era in which Sapphire lived. Even to some extent, the shaping of Sapphire surpassed that of the Supreme Sorcerer, because so far not many life shots of Strange have been filmed.

Actually, there is not much to film either. Because when Strange lives as the Supreme Sorcerer, most of the time he is meditating. He doesn't even bother much with sudden events, everything is handled by the Grand Sorcerer. So even if one wants to take material from life, there is no way.

Considering that the Supreme Sorcerer is too important a character, Chris did not force the filming, but planned to study it further. So, after the second part ended, Sapphire's popularity was significantly higher than that of the Supreme Sorcerer. Even quite a few audience members thought it would be fine to let him be the Supreme Sorcerer.

But they were destined to be disappointed. Sapphire is indeed a thoroughgoing villain, with no hope of whitewashing. Shiler also refused Chris's attempt to whitewash Sapphire.

Know that after Sapphire's exposure in the later period, he was getting up early and staying up late, exhausting himself to death to wipe out the protagonist team. In order to achieve his goal, he didn't know how much painstaking effort he had put in. Shiler's performance was also wholehearted, costing him a lot of energy.

If later on there comes some "he also has his hardships", then Sapphire's efforts in the play and Shiler's efforts off-stage will all come to nothing. Then at that time, Chris will have no choice but to let it be.

Moreover, Mephisto has completely fallen in love with acting as a profession. He first knew that pretending to be another person to tell lies and deceive people can actually make money. You say, who studied this human thing?

Actually, the remuneration is secondary. Mephisto is not short of these three melons and two dates, the key is popularity. Ordinary audiences don't know that Mephisto is played by Mephisto, they still praise Mephisto as an actor for performing really well, looking too much like the real thing. Mephisto even gained quite a few fans.

Before, in order to use the Internet to spread influence, he puffed and panted to open several accounts. He tried many contents but failed to gain followers. Just by acting in a role with a drama length of less than ten minutes, he actually gained so many fans. Mephisto jumped up right away.

What are devils best at? Of course, it's acting. But if his acting skills were a bit worse, how could he possibly deceive so many humans? Mephisto is no longer just a matter of looking like what he acts; he can directly become that person.

Moreover, it's not just specific people. He can perceive people's inner desires, thereby becoming the person the other party most longs for. That is to say, if the director has any abstract demands, he can also perfectly present them. Simply a heaven-sent acting school.

Mephisto can also be said to be unstoppable once he starts. Otherwise, how could he be called a devil? He wants to act, but the first thing he does is not to apply for a job or attend an interview, but to deceive people into investment, preparing to produce his own play.

Devils know best where there are loopholes. Mephisto's eyes rolled, and he directly went to the military—with a face almost identical to that of Captain America.

The federal government and the military have always wanted to use Captain America for publicity. But Steve firmly refused to cooperate. Don't even say filming publicity videos, he doesn't even want to show his face in interviews, let alone say more words.

But now, all superheroes' wings have hardened. The federal government and the military's set of threatening tactics are no longer useful. Although Steve already has a wife and children, none of them are easy to provoke. If they dare to move Carter, Nick will surely fight to the death. As for little Thomas, he looks more and more like a trap no matter how you look at him.

Even if they wanted to retrain a super soldier, the trend of the times has passed, and it is very difficult to surpass Captain America anymore. Helplessly, this plan could only be shelved.

But unexpectedly, a young man so similar to Captain America Steve Rogers showed up at the door. Yes, Mephisto is very cunning. He did not become exactly like Steve, but merely very similar, especially to young Steve.

This again gave the military hope. Currently, the copyright of Captain America is in their hands. That is to say, they can bypass Steve to film Captain America movies, as long as they don't use the name "Steve Rogers".

Before, there was basically no one who could play Captain America. Because Captain America is still alive now, everyone knows what he looks like. If the actor doesn't look like him, the audience simply won't buy it.

But now there is someone this similar, so what else is there to say? Just film it directly.

The military enthusiastically invested a large sum of money, and also roped in the federal government and some arms companies. The director they hired is also a famous Hollywood war film director. Not to mention the producers and crew, it is a major investment, wanting to recreate the glory of the golden age.

If Mephisto were still the old devil who only wanted to seek some benefits, and the real Captain America had nothing to do with him alive or dead, then this film filmed would probably not be disgusting enough.

But Mephisto has set his sights a bit further. Isn't it said to imitate superheroes? Then not only must we imitate, but we must also overcorrect. Having painstakingly built such an immersive large-scale live-action imitation show, we must demand ourselves to be more righteous than Captain America, in order to fully engage and achieve the purpose of tempering some emotions.

Captain America was originally not very American. After Mephisto's overcorrection, he looks even less so. As this film is being shot, the parts of Captain America's shield besides blue and white have become a bit glaring.

Seeing the trend was not right, the military urgently called off. Can't handle Captain America, can't handle you little actor?

In fact, it really can't be handled. As that saying goes, devils are very good at political struggles. After scanning around, they directly grasped everyone's inner weaknesses tightly. How do you fight him?

An angel falling to become a devil does not necessarily do well. But if a devil turns from evil to good and wants to become an angel, then he will definitely be an outstanding angel. Lucifer is like this, Mephisto is like this. In the end, those who have been evil understand better how to deal with evil. And evil people are always harder to deal with.

Mephisto struck with a heavy blow, and in just a few rounds, the military was defeated. The producers and directors also could not escape. The entire crew became Mephisto's one-man rule, he says how to change, and it changes that way.

But Mephisto is not changing randomly. He clearly knows that Captain America's life experience is something many people have been familiar with since childhood. If changed too much, it will definitely be scolded.

He conducted a very thorough investigation, even specifying which battlefield Captain America fought on and with whom he cooperated, what achievements he made, even down to specific names, and then slightly enlarged the parts that could reflect Steve's personal charm, while reducing the controversial parts.

When released, the reviewers also could not escape Mephisto's iron fist, and just let this film pass. After release, the world was in an uproar.

No one knows where this film came from. Including the members of the Avengers. Because Steve is right under their noses, how could he possibly go film a movie?

So when they heard that a movie called "Captain America" was about to be released, the entire Avengers ran to the cinema to book the whole place. They were not really going to appreciate the film, but to appreciate Steve's expression.

In others' eyes, it's nothing more than the military couldn't hold back. Steve didn't cooperate, so they found an actor to play him, insisting on completing that publicity goal. Then what kind of shocking mess this film will turn into doesn't even need to be thought about.

Crowds gathering to watch Captain America being poisoned by his own bad film, this is mostly a beautiful thing. The main reason why the Stark star came on the night before was to firmly disbelieve that Steve Rogers could refrain from swearing in this situation.

To hear the first swear word in Steve's life, everyone poured out, directly booking a cinema to watch. Everyone surrounded Steve on all sides, from left to right, from top to bottom, not missing any of his expressions.

Steve, surrounded in the middle, had lost the will to live. Although he wanted to blame the bad friends who harmed him, he was also afraid that his words would be too heavy. Wait a bit, this film is really rotten to the core, he couldn't hold back from swearing in the street, and it would be spread by them. He could only sit in the center with a pale face.

"Take it easy, Captain," Peter looked at him and said, "also don't worry too much, maybe they are willing to say some good things about you?"

Steve gave a cold laugh, also only thinking that Peter is too young, has never dealt with those people, too naive, and has no intention of arguing with him.

As the film slowly opened, everyone's gaze became more and more excited. But as the plot progressed and the story unfolded, everyone became more and more silent, while Steve's gaze became brighter and brighter.

Don't mind whether this actor who looks very similar to you is special effects or something, this plot is filmed really well, although some parts are a bit exaggerated, but most of the plot is very realistic. The actor's performance is also very invested, without any trace of acting. This kid is me!

"See? Tony, the actor playing your father really looks a bit like Howard," Steve said excitedly as he patted Stark's shoulder, "look at those two little mustaches, he used to love showing off his mustache to me."

"Hey, Bucky, the actor playing you is just not good enough, completely not as handsome as you. Moreover, he cut his hair too short, with your flamboyant personality back then, you would never keep such a hairstyle."

"Wait, what battle is this being filmed? Looking at it, it seems a bit like Berlin..."

When seeing Captain America and the Soviet Army appear together on the battlefield of the Berlin battle, everyone couldn't hold back. Peter sucked in a breath of cold air, Shiler spat out a drink, Stark held the chair back and coughed violently, Natasha almost hit her head on the ground.

"Captain, what..."

"Why did I and the Red Skull have a showdown?" Steve glared at them, "If we hadn't broken into Berlin, what battle would we two have fought?"

"Yes, but I'm asking why you would and..."

"They are the main force," Steve said, "I naturally had to follow the main force in charging. If I fell behind, the Red Skull would have no share of me."

"They didn't give you a medal, what a pity," Natasha said.

"Indeed," Steve also dropped the act, he pursed his lips, "those who entered at the same time as me all got medals, just I didn't. The fall was really not the time."
