[Comprehensive British and American] Welcome to Lego City

At the shooting site of Lego City, Dick stood in the city covered by yellow sand, shook the sand on his clothes and patted his face stiffened by the wind, and easily broke free from the hand of the heroine Damian and jumped off the helicopter. Strolling to the director's side, he asked, "How is it? Is the filming of this episode finally over?"

As we all know, Lego City is a hodgepodge universe. This is the desert they rented near the Tower of Fangs in Mordor, Zhongzhou. It used to be the territory of Sauron, the Dark Lord, and Aragorn, the king of Gondor, also expressed his excitement here. Heartfelt speech.

However, times have changed, Sauron spent the 60th anniversary of his birth in Lego Phantomland, and the Mordor Desert has become one of the famous tourist attractions. In some places, there are still huge building ruins and animal bones, which are very suitable for use. Make a disaster movie.

What they had just shot was the first big part of the movie.In a simple summary of the plot, Dick is an heir to an ancient and rich desert city and has lived a happy life for a long time.

Suddenly one day, the super villain Lego Brainiac from the alien galaxy stared at the city, wanting to shrink it into his own collection.

The army in the city was unable to fight against the invaders. At the critical moment, Dick's childhood sweetheart, Damian, the eldest daughter of an ancient family heir who was influenced by a family of martial arts since childhood, took Dick to escape from the desert before the city shrank, and went to the legendary city of freedom, Lego City, to seek help.

But there is a problem here - Brainiac is a well-known villain both in Lego City and in the real universe. Cities are shrunk and bottled for collection.

The guy in Lego City is in prison, and his sentence has not yet been completed. It is impossible to let him out to participate in the movie.

So who plays the villain No. [-] in the movie?

"It's me." Lego Iron Man remotely commanded a battle armor Mark 42 that he hadn't used for a long time to control the skull-shaped spaceship left by Lego Brainiac. He himself is still working on "Iron Man" The script of the character, "In addition to Mark 42, there are Lego Brainiac clones, Brainiac 2 and Brainiac 3, who control the spaceship.

They did not have a good relationship with the main criminal, Brainiac No. 1, and they performed well during their sentences, and they were given the opportunity to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.If the performance on the set is qualified this time, the bad police will consider commuting his sentence. "

Lego Brainiac No. 2 and No. 3 quickly showed cute smiles to everyone to prove their determination to change their ways.

"The first part is finished." The director finished sorting out the work at hand, raised his head and said to Dick in the midst of his busy schedule, "Good job, young man, if you don't want to inherit the property of the Wayne family, maybe you can become a professional actor."

Dick gave a dry laugh without answering, and stretched out his head to look at himself in the lens.

"I still don't understand why people in the real universe can't recognize me." He asked inexplicably. Do you recognize people by their clothes?"

The director didn't know why, but his attention was still on the video, and he said perfunctorily: "Face blindness is like this. Everyone in the real universe is severely face blind. You saw the comments under the movie promotional video of the real universe YouTube Lego Company ?

Someone actually said that the only difference between me and the musician is the amount of hair - the musician is at least 30 years older than me!I bet if you put on the domino mask, they'd really believe you were Robin himself. "

Le Damian next to him said: "But Dick is beyond his age."

"It's only useful if you're tall, kid. But you're right, Dick is a little taller than Robin, so replace the hero of what I just said with you, Damian."

Behind them, the prop master quickly disassembled the helicopter into a pile of parts and put them aside for later use.

The reason for not putting the footage of the assembled helicopter directly in the movie is because of the particularity of the master builder.

Although Murphy's bottom line has been gradually reduced with more and more accidents in life, even the name of Lego City has swaggered in the movie——

The main reason is that the company is called Lego Company, and the city name in the movie is not called Lego City, how can it have the effect of advertising——

He still does not plan to describe the ability of the master builder in detail in the movie, such as being able to see part codes, and only let some characters put together gadgets at individual moments, as a way to highlight the fictional sense of the movie and increase the point of laughter.

In this way, ordinary viewers who don't know anything about the real universe will feel that Lego has used computer technology to make an entire animated movie.

The characters are modeled in 3D. The Superhero character in the movie was adapted for family fun of all ages with my consent. The plot is fabricated, the special effects are synthesized, and the dubbing is of course those who signed the non-disclosure agreement. The people who carry out post-compounding.

People who know the existence of LEGO City will think that LEGO has indeed used computer technology to make the entire animation, and the pictures have been deliberately toyed.

It's just that Chaoying's character in the movie has neither been approved by the real universe itself, nor has it been adapted (this is a sad story), and the cognition of the special effects characters in the plot is no different from that of ordinary people.

Before the truth is presented, no one will think about acting in the direction of a real person, because no one would think that the self in another universe has a pair of U-shaped hands and the leisure and elegance of taking the initiative to come to participate in the movie.

Only the trivial little issue of the voice acting might be noticeable.

"Okay, I'm ready to start shooting the second part!" The director broke free from the sorrow of his age, and shouted at the venue, "Time is tight and the task is heavy, we can't waste a second! The scene is ready! Passers-by actors are ready! Superheroes Are you all here? And Jason? Have you finished changing your outfit? It's his turn to play soon!"

The second episode takes place in Lego City.

Dick and Damian came from a small city in the desert to the bustling metropolis in the center of the universe. Lego City, the legendary capital of freedom, is also called the City of Hope, implying that all helpless travelers can live here. Find the way forward.

In addition to the large and small shops and entertainment venues that have never been heard before, you can also meet many famous people from all walks of life that you have only seen on TV.

Dick wanted a hand-picked autographed photo of Lego Superman (Dick's surprise in this shot was definitely not watered down), and Damian also won a lottery for the latest katana sword on the promotional poster.

There should be a relaxed and pleasant saliva song BGM here.

In the joyful atmosphere rendered by pop music, two homeless wanderers gradually get rid of the psychological shadow left by Lego Brainiac, but their desire to save their homes prevents them from completely relaxing.

So I had to bid farewell to the enthusiastic city residents and came to the Lego City Presidential Palace, preparing to seek help from the city ruler with high prestige among the residents.

The secretary, who struggled to poke her head out from the pile of documents, led them the way, and the president, who did not show his true face, received the prince and the general's daughter in the desert city.

After listening to the demands of the two, the president said that although he did not know what Blainiak was, he was willing to let his team help the two.

Whether it's training Dick and Damian to become qualified fighters, or directly from Lego City to find the culprit who destroyed Desert City.

As an aside, Murphy did not waste resources to return to Lego City after all. He felt guilty about this kind of public-seeking behavior, so he finally adopted a non-physical projection performance, supplemented by post-production special effects to reduce shooting costs.

Going back to the plot, Dick chose to combine the two options given by the president. He didn't think that his personal power could defeat the super villains from aliens, and he didn't want to be powerless in the face of disaster.

Damian has doubts, feeling that the president who has not shown his true face is not as frank and warm-hearted as he seems.

What's more, the code name of his chief security officer is Bad Cop—why such a strange name?

After Dick made a decision, the bad police took the two to the training ground. During this period, Damian became more and more vigilant and always on guard, but in the middle of the field, he saw the superheroes that everyone in the universe knows.

Here is the very shocking background music of thunderbolt bang bang, and a mysterious beam of holy light from nowhere shines on the curly hair of Lego Superman at the front, and there is a huge bat-shaped shadow on the wall behind.

After a moment of surprise, not only the little prince Dick, but Damian also let down his vigilance.

This plot got stuck several times, because the director felt that the two of them were too familiar with superheroes, and the number of repetitions almost caught up with the scene where Dick and Damian met the president for the first time——

Director: "It's for you to be wary of strangers who might be villains, not for you to meet old friends and the Daddy-Long-Legs next door!"

All in all, what follows is another light-hearted and inspirational plot. Similar flash scenes can be found in Kung Fu Panda and other major family movies.

Young people's sweat is always accompanied by the budding of love. Dick gradually discovered his heart, and Damian also let go of his prejudice against his childhood sweetheart and began to realize the shining points in Dick.

Lego Dick couldn't help but said when the director explained the plot: "Actually, at this time you can change to the names of the two protagonists in the movie."

"Forget it." The director said indifferently, "The name of the character is not important at all, and the audience can't remember it anyway."

The script is turned backwards. Of course, this is not the end. If this content is over, how can it support an animated movie for an hour and a half!How to advertise and deceive passers-by into the cinema!

——Just when things were gradually getting on the right track, the situation changed again.

One day, Dick and Damian were wandering the streets of Lego City, and they had almost regarded this place as their second hometown.

But on this day, the two were kidnapped by a well-planned plan. The person who kidnapped them was the famous super villain in the city, Jason Chou.

Jason Ugly took them to his base, took off the cloth bags on Dick and Damian's heads, and showed them a picture on the video tape:

The president of Lego City in a white robe is talking to Lego Brainiac who destroyed Desert City.

It echoes the plot of the promotional film!

The little prince Dick and Damian couldn't believe it, but found that the video tape was real, and when the president met with them, he denied that he had ever heard of Brainiac's name.

That means there's either a misunderstanding, or the president is secretly plotting to hoodwink superheroes and city dwellers alike.

At this moment, Jason Chou told them that he was actually a member of the rebel army in Lego City. The army is full of people with lofty ideals like him who intend to expose the president's conspiracy to the masses. I hope that Damian and Dick, two people from The Children of Hope, who are taught by the superheroes in foreign countries, can turn their backs and join their ranks.

Dick asked, "But why on earth would the president do that?"

Jason Chou: "Hahaha, let me tell you, because he wants Lego City to be an eternal prosperous country, to make this city always the center of the universe, and to make himself the god who dominates all things forever.

Anything that might threaten the city, and his own standing, was to be destroyed.

And what about Brainiac?He wanted to collect those civilizations in his showcase, just like he did for Desert City, so they hit it off and started to eliminate opponents and expand the collection list. "

Then Jason Ugly showed them the internal situation of the Rebel Army.Here is very light and very weird background music, and the environment reveals a depressing atmosphere. I have to say that Jason performed very well and is very talented.

So much so that Dick began to wonder if he had really joined the Clown Gang behind the back of the Bat family members.

"I'm just talented." I was praised by Batman during the intermission (no, Lego Batman was just invited by the director and was forced to watch the scene that made Murphy's mask painful all the way, and then told the director that the clown really Quite restored) Lego Jason said flatteredly, "When I played Batman, the double-faced people didn't recognize it."

Murphy, who took time to watch from the sidelines in another universe, pointed out: "I think when you played the clown and said the lines describing me just now, you seemed to be very sincere."

Lego Jason's eyes drifted away for a moment.

Murphy was a little confused: "I just didn't take the initiative to tell you that I knew Bruce a few years ago. As for being angry for so long?" Hasn't the rebellious period passed?

"..." Lego Jason's face flushed all of a sudden, he didn't know whether it was shyness or anger, he gritted his teeth, "Yeah, you didn't show up at my comeback party after that, Batman's birthday is a year later You didn't show up when we took a family portrait with us, and you never took the initiative to contact me once in three years!"

Murphy: "..."

He tactfully said: "I thought you needed to calm down for a while after you learned the truth."

"Oh really?" Lego Jason rolled his eyes while crossing his arms, and said impatiently waiting for the makeup artist to touch up the clown's lipstick on his face, "God, at this time I really understand why you can sometimes Go to the brain circuit of the old bat."

The intermission is over, and the plot continues:

Damian recalled his initial feelings and became convinced that the president was indeed a deep-seated villain, as Jason Chou said;

Little Prince Dick is still vacillating, thinking that at least the city residents and the superheroes have no false trust in the president. They are short-term visitors and should rely more on the judgment of the locals.

While Jason Chou and Damian insisted that these people were just being deceived, Dick slowly began to waver.

And in this process, Jason Chou's character is not only not threatening, but even cute.

So the follow-up of the movie is that the protagonist duo began to expose the president's conspiracy and defeat Brainiac together with the awakened superheroes?

—Big mistake!

How could Murphy allow himself to be a pure villain in the movie broadcast in the real universe?

Whether it's the superheroes who know Lego City exists in the real universe, or the villain team Illuminati, there is a consensus that real villains will not admit this in publicity.

He wants the Illuminati who have watched the movie to feel that the president of Lego City is really a suitable person to join them, and the role of the president in the movie cannot be a real villain.

So the question is, after two reversals, who is the man behind the scenes in the Lego movie?

Jason Chou: "Thank you, it's me."

And who made the protagonists realize that they went the wrong way and trusted the wrong person?

LEGO Luthor, playing Bruce Wayne in a wig, cleared his throat and put up his hands, smiling a Wayne dandy.

——At this time, the shooting progress in Lego City is already more than halfway.

Real Universe Outlaw Squad.

Ever since Jason received information sharing from the Batcave to the four teams, saying that Darkseid's demon-like legion had planted a chip underground in New York to transmit information to Brainiac, their attention has been from The LEGO Movie promo has shifted to supervillains who may suddenly have their eyes on New York City.

However, Brainiac has no fixed place of residence, and usually only drives a spaceship to search for collection targets in the universe.

Before he approached the earth, it was difficult for people to find the position of Brainiac in infinite time and space.

So the Outlaws quickly realized that, as important as this news sounded, it wasn't as close to them as "Murphy passed a few traffic lights while driving to the MPAA this morning."

So half a day later, they began to collect Lego's movements through various channels.

Among them, a new comment under the promotional video of the big movie on Youtube caught Jason's attention, saying: "Haha I'm going to share this video with my colleagues! I think his voice is exactly the same as the protagonist of the movie!"

Exactly which studio Lego hired to make the movie has been a mystery to people.

Jason knew that Lego City existed, and suspected that the production process was actually carried out in another universe, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there was no movement at all.

But this comment still aroused his interest. Maybe the colleague mentioned by the other party is the peer of the voice actor in Lego City.

He casually located the commenter's IP address: Brudhaven.

To be more specific, it is the local area network of a familiar office in a familiar police station.

Jason: "?"

He shared the comments along with the video to his real-verse Dick Grayson at work.

Soon the other party replied, and the punctuation marks they used were exactly the same: "?"
