[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Joey agreed with Tom's plan, that is, the plan to have a child, but as for when this surprise will come... No one can decide.

At this time, Joey was sitting in a coffee shop, drinking coffee while wearing big sunglasses, waiting for someone, the agent Catherine.

Then she saw Catherine walking into the coffee shop with big bags and small bags, Joey waved to her, and Catherine came to her.

After she sat down, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Oh my god, I'm really old, I'm 50 years old, and I'm sweating profusely even when I'm buying some snacks for my son."

Joey squinted his eyes and enjoyed the iced coffee in his hand, as refreshing as a bowl of mango shaved ice in summer, "Dear Catherine, you know, I seem to be in trouble again recently."

Catherine was obviously not ready, and was startled by Joey's words, "What's the matter? You have had a good harvest in your career and love recently, shouldn't it be the time when the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease?"

Joey showed a struggling smile, "I think if this continues, my identity and occupation on Wikipedia will be listed behind. It should not be an excellent film director, but a successful comic director."

Catherine laughed loudly: "God, to be honest, you are indeed the most successful comic film director in the world. Is there any problem with that?"

Joey added a spoonful of sugar to the coffee, "But I really never thought about becoming the most successful comic book director in the past. Why did I take this path? Why are major film companies looking for me for one purpose? That's a manga movie..."

Catherine suddenly asked: "WAHT? What do you mean, a big film company came to ask you to make a new manga movie?"

Joey tugged at his ear annoyed, and the earring on it reflected the crystal texture from different angles under the light, "Yeah, and this time it's not Warner, Disney, or Paramount."

"Oh, is it Sony? They're planning to reboot The Amazing Spider-Man."

Joey replied puzzledly, "No...it's not Sony, it's not Universal, it's Fox..."

Catherine's eyes widened in surprise, "Okay, you finally messed with the X-Men, Fox's superheroes only have the copyright of the X-Men, I heard that they plan to open a "Deadpool" series alone, don't tell me? They want you to do Deadpool?"

"No..." Joey pinched his brows.

"Is it the prequel series of "X-Men" they restarted? After all, the old trilogy of "X-Men" is over, and it is impossible to continue filming."

Joey denied again, "It's not...it's the "Wolverine" series."

Catherine made a dissatisfied look, "Wolverine? This series is really not very good. The first and second films have a mediocre reputation, and the box office is not very good. They asked you to make the third part? I I'm not very optimistic about the third part."

Joey said: "Fox and I had a general chat, but I'm actually quite interested, because this is the last part of the trilogy, it's the end chapter, Hugh Jackman doesn't plan to play Wolverine anymore, Fox plans to give The end of Wolverine and those heroes of the X-Men who are still alive, this may be the most bleak superhero movie in history."

Catherine was still quite dismissive, "So you are attracted by this kind of temperament that is a twilight beauty and a hero's end?"

Joy was still very distressed, and she even growled: "Yeah! But I'm still very conflicted! I really don't want people to mention my name in the future, and the first reaction is: Oh, Joey Grant, the most powerful in the world Oh, the manga director."

Catherine couldn't help pinching her round face, "It's alright dear, don't get entangled, you can pick it up if you want, you must know that the most powerful manga director in history has not been born in this world, I think You can consider being a person for this milestone."

Joey sighed as if discouraged, "I thought you would persuade me not to mess with Fox, but I didn't expect you to say that!"

Catherine said lightly, "Yeah, go ahead, I'm looking forward to you making "Wolverine 3" into a dark gothic style like "Suicide Squad". To be honest, Fox's X-Men series and other related The spin-off character movie has not produced a work with a good reputation so far, and the first two Wolverine movies are really mediocre, and they probably want you to save their reputation in the final chapter."

Joey frowned and listened to Catherine's point of view, and she said abruptly: "Actually, I am just very touched by the desolate and end-of-hero style of superheroes. I think this kind of theme can completely shoot a completely different superhero." Hero movies. After all, there has never been a movie that abuses superheroes so far. The tone of superhero movies still cannot escape the coolness. Even if it is "Suicide Squad", it is still cool and cool. Probably "Wolverine" will be The existence that pioneered the abuse of superheroes."

Catherine easily made a decision for Joey, "Okay, then go ahead and make the first superhero abuse movie in history."

"..." Joey stared at Catherine angrily, "I came here to discuss with you, why don't you think about it for me!"

Catherine asked back: "What do you want me to think for you? I am not your thinking, I am your manager!"

Joey is still hesitant, "But you also said that Fox's X-Men series and the first and second parts of "Wolverine" are really mediocre. I think the temperament of the X-Men is really difficult to shoot. Something refreshing, it’s not as dark as Suicide Squad, it’s not as shocking as BVS, it’s not as philosophical as Ghost in the Shell.”

Catherine said: "But you also said that the third movie will abuse those superheroes. This is a tragic superhero movie with the end of the hero. I think it can be filmed with a unique temperament. Don't worry about it, I know. You don’t want to be what people think of as a comic book director. But you have to face the reality honey, that your comic book movies are better, more influential, and higher than other movies.”

Joey glanced at Catherine, "Okay, then I'll try to contact Fox again."

Then, Joey made an appointment with Fox and wanted to talk about the "Wolverine 3" project in depth.

But what she didn't expect was that when she came to Fox, those high-level executives were too busy to talk to her...

As for what they are tearing up, of course they are tearing up "Wolverine 3".

As for what is tearing up Wolverine, it is roughly the direction of the story of Wolverine 3.

Joey didn't express much opinion, and was listening carefully to their tear-force content.

"Are you kidding? If the story of "Wolverine 3" is that Wolverine dies in the end, and Professor X dies, is this still a superhero story? Are you going to suffocate the audience? You are not afraid of being sprayed by the audience. dead?"

"That's right, I also think it can't be done like this. Why do audiences like to watch superhero movies? It's because of Su Shuang! If you make such a tragic ending chapter, you want to piss off the audience! This is not to screw us X The brand of the Cops? Who will watch the X-Men prequel series in the future! Anyway, Wolverine is still dead in the end! We filmed "X-Men: Days of Future Past" before, and it was a hairy reversal. Anyway, it was five years after the reversal. Years, damn it is dead."

"But what's the key issue? The key issue is that Hugh Jackman will never play Wolverine again! Then we can only write him dead! Professor X just died incidentally, otherwise what should we do?"

Joey probably knows the focus of the debate.

The old X-Men trilogy is over long ago, and the heroes in the last "X-Men 3" are dead and disabled.

Then Fox made a Wolverine trilogy for the most popular Wolverine in the X-Men.Then, Hugh Jackman announced that after playing the role of Wolverine for more than ten years, he does not intend to continue filming, and "Wolverine 3" will be the last time he plays Wolverine.

Therefore, the "Wolverine" series must end tragically, which means that the older generation of X-Men headed by the character of Hugh Jackman has come to an end.

Of course, a large part of the reason is also because the new version of the "X-Men" prequel universe reboot series headed by Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Jennifer Lawrence has become the mainstay, which can completely support the new version of the X-Men the sky.

Fox also no longer needs the heroes of the older generation of X-Men.

The X-Men universe restart series, "X-Men: First Battle", "X-Men: Reversing the Future", and "X-Men: Apocalypse", these three new versions of the X-Men prequel series have completely started the X-Men series. new banner.

Therefore, the older generation of X-Men, it is time to call the curtain down.

The protagonists of the older generation, Magneto, Storm Girl, Cyclops and others have long died in the old X-Men trilogy, and the only ones left are Wolverine and Professor X who are "into old age" .

Therefore, it is understandable that "Wolverine 3" will give them a tragic end.

One reason is that Marvel has decided to plan to completely kill the hero Wolverine in the comics in 2014.

Secondly, the role of Hugh Jackman and Wolverine has been bonded for more than ten years. In the past ten years, everyone has experienced three Spider-Man, two Superman, and two Batman, but Wolverine has only him one.

In order to play Wolverine well, he has insisted on high-intensity strength training for more than ten years. He needs to eat 6 meals a day, consume more than 6000 calories, and fill his stomach with chicken breast, steak, and eggs for free.

Push-ups and lifting weights are basic movements. In order to reduce body fat ratio and enhance the performance, he even started intermittent fasting, three-hour hell training, 36-hour dehydration training, and other extreme methods, which perfectly restored the Two in the comics in the film. -dimensional muscles, but Hugh Jackman was deeply exhausted by this. He himself said: I can't eat any more eggs.

With the complete victory of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", the project that restarted the X-Men universe, it is time for the older generation of X-Men, including Wolverine, to retire.

But Fox believes that the audience cannot accept it!Can you accept that Wolverine and Professor X die in the movie?Can you accept that Professor X suffers from Alzheimer's and can't control the bedwetting in the end?

Can't!The audience will be suffocated!They are great superheroes!They can save the world!

How can a superhero turn into such a hero's end!

After the superheroes defeated the big villains that destroyed the world, they found that the real enemies were time and themselves? !

"Can't we change the way? There are many ways to make the heroes of the older generation disappear. Why do we have to choose such a tragic way?"

"Yeah, it can be changed to another method, it's better than letting Wolverine die, if we shoot like this, believe it or not, those die-hard fans will come to Fox to kill-people!"

In the end, they argued for a long time and still couldn't agree on a reason. They all looked at Joey, "Director Grant, tell me your opinion. How do you think this movie will develop?"

Joey was stunned. A large group of you can't come up with a result. What result can she give?

She showed a half-smile embarrassingly, "Uh...I think, let me say that I can't tell. Oral can never express the need to feel on paper. Why don't I go back and write a version in my own mind. The approved script comes out, and then you see if it is acceptable?"

Everyone at Fox was also stunned, "Have you agreed to film Wolverine 3?"

Joey smiled helplessly, "Not yet, but if you can accept my script after reading it, I think I can accept it too."

"Are you going to write the script yourself?"

Joey nodded, "That's right, "Wolverine" and the old X-Men series, choosing to end in this way also gave me more room to play, so I can write the script myself, no problem."

"Well then, Director Grant, you can try to write a version of the script first, maybe it will change the stalemate between the two of us, maybe we will all be convinced by your script."

Joey still looked at them helplessly, "I hope so."

Then she left Fox's mansion, but didn't go back directly to think about the script, but hoped that Fox could help her find the Wolverine actor-Hugh Jackman.

Fox was shocked by Joey's request... Joey Grant said he was going back to write the script, why did he come here and ask them to contact Hugh Jackman?

Joy's explanation for this is: She wants to hear the thoughts of the actor who plays Wolverine.

After all, for movie fans, Spiderman can be Garfield or Tobey Maguire, Batman can be Ben Affleck or Christian Bale, Superman can be Harden or Henry Cavill , but Wolverine, he can only be Hugh Jackman.

When Fox contacted Hugh Jackman and expressed Joey's desire to chat with him, Hugh Jackman was even more shocked than Fox.

He was very happy to learn that Joey had such an idea, and he was looking forward to meeting the legendary director.

The two people made an appointment at a place that day, and then had a meeting there that both parties were looking forward to.

After a few simple greetings with Joey, Hugh Jackman talked about his deep feelings for the role of Wolverine, "It was still in 1999, I received an invitation to audition for Wolverine, and my wife was watching it. After receiving my invitation letter, she said to me very speechlessly: A superhero with claws growing out of his hands is a bit ridiculous? Haha, I think at that time my wife must not have thought that I would act for more than ten years.”

Then he sighed with great emotion, "Then the first "X-Men" was released in 2000. It really has been so many years."

After Hugh Jackman fell into contemplation for a moment, Joey slowly asked: "So Hugh, what do you think this character, that is, Wolverine, should end? You know, Fox has already quarreled over Wolverine's ending. It's turned upside down."

Hugh Jackman pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly, as if he was very reluctant to part, "To be honest, I think death is its best destination. Although this role is my entire career, I don't want him to be like that. die."

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was shrouded in sadness. Joey knew how reluctant and struggling Hugh Jackman was for this role, but he still hoped that he would die very decisively.

Because, for a superhero who has come this far, death is his best destination.

In the first two parts of "Wolverine" and the third part of "X-Men", the fate of Wolverine, the lone star of Tiansha, was unable to change. People he cared about left one after another, old injuries recurred, and new injuries remained unhealed. All in all, Wolverine sees immortality as a curse.

Uncle Wolf really couldn't bear it any longer, and death might be a gift to him.

The tragic fate of the lone star of Tiansha, the double torture of body and mind, and the curse of eternal life that cannot be killed, these all indicate that for the most important superhero in the X-Men universe, death is his best way to end the curtain .

When Hugh Jackman said this, he was actually suffering in his heart, but as the actor of this role, Joey had reason to think that what Hugh Jackman gave was the best way to end the role.

Hugh Jackman looked at her and asked, "What do you think, Joey, what do you think the best ending for Wolverine should be?"

Joey showed a sweet smile, and then said slowly, "My point of view is the same as yours."

Hugh Jackman also smiled sincerely at Joey, "Then, you are also a director who knows this role very well, you will be very suitable to direct this movie, and we will work together to produce a very good ending."

Joey tilted his head and thought, rubbing his hands on the necklace he was wearing around his neck, "I am very relieved that you will play Wolverine, I don't think I need to discuss with you how to play this role, because you are King Kong Wolf, I don't need to worry at all."

Hugh Jackman said: "You come to shoot this movie, I am also very relieved, and I don't need to worry about it, but you probably won't make "Wolverine 3" an anti-hero steampunk like "Suicide Squad" Is it the God vs. Man philosophy like "BVS"?"

Joey smiled and said: "No, I will shoot a new style, a closing method tailored for "Wolverine 3" and its unique flavor."

Hugh Jackman showed a charming smile, "Then I would like to thank you in advance, thank you for completing my final work of Wolverine with all your heart and soul."

Joey replied: "You're welcome, this is what I should do, because the tragic and desolate nature of this tribal work attracted me."

Later, Joy chatted with Hugh Jackman about "Wolverine". She thinks that Hugh Jackman has more say than her about making this movie.

Then she went back to writing the script, articulated what she thought was the best way to end the scene with Wolverine.

A month later, when she finished the script, she immediately took the script to the Fox executives, because although the script was completed, if it was to be filmed, it still needed the approval of Fox executives.

She first took it to Robert Stewart, director of Fox studios.

Robert Stelter was not in his office that day. When Joy walked in, there was no one there. Originally, the secretary asked her to wait inside, but later learned that Robert might not be back in a short time.

Joey decided to leave the typescript of the script on his desk before leaving.

But this alone was not enough. In order to prevent Robert Stewart from smashing the table after reading the script, Joey finally left a note on his desk.

"I finished the script, read it when you have time, don't cry~"

Then he left his office.

When Robert came back, the secretary told him that Joey had come and left the script on the table, and Robert dug out his glasses from the drawer.

Then he sat on the boss chair and began to look at it seriously, as if he was dealing with an extremely solemn matter.

Time passed minute by minute.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of pages being turned could be heard.

"Uh, uh, uh."

There is also Robert's clearly audible panting, from the silence and depression at the beginning, to the gradual dignification at the end.

In the end, hours passed without knowing it.

When Robert turned the last page, a man who was nearly fifty years old dropped a tear from his eye socket.

Tears fell heavily on the last page of the book.

Yes, he cried.

Quietly, these are the tears of a tough guy, and the touch of a man.

On the last page of the script, his eyes still stayed on the line on the tombstone of Logan (Wolverine).

He expects that the following plot will be like other superhero scripts, the tombstone will suddenly move, and there will be Logan's "fuck, thathurts" immediately after the easter egg

However, the stones on the tombstone did not move, not even the Easter eggs.

Because it's really over, Logan is really dead.

This whole script is a capitalized "hero's end, bleak evening scene".

Wolverine used to be able to meet gods and kill gods, and Buddhas to kill Buddhas, but after a hail of bullets, he just looked at the wounds contemptuously, and then continued to fight.But now he can't.

He is old.

His wounds healed slowly and he was covered in scars.My eyesight has also decreased and I need to wear reading glasses.I don't know what happened to my legs, and I actually walk with a limp.

He is no longer a hero, and he also needs to support his own life. In order to make a living, he became a driver.His body was not as good as before, so he could only curse and continue to drive to earn money.

Don't talk to him about saving the world, it would be nice if the world didn't come and kill him.

He was accompanied by a man, an old man with dementia who had to rely on drugs to stay awake.

You don't know him?Just kidding, how could you not know him, he is the most powerful brain in the world in the X-Men, back then he could control the whole world!

Now, this Professor X is also old, he can even wet the bed and talk nonsense.

Robert really, really, really hated the script, terribly!

Apart from scolding FXXX angrily, what else can explain the unhappiness in his heart now.

However, understandably, he has to admit that Joey gave Wolverine the best way to end the curtain.

All superhero comics are faced with a lifespan problem.

It's not that I can't continue to shoot, but that there is really nothing to shoot.

The problem with Batman and Superman is that they have too few enemies. These two characters have a history of 80 years. Apart from Luthor, Ugly, Penguin, and Judge, what other decent enemies are there?Then kill these enemies, there is nothing to shoot.

Spider-Man is even more funny. There are no enemies anymore. Pull out all the classmates, teachers, relatives, classmates’ fathers, and classmates’ relatives to make bosses. In the end, there is really nothing to shoot. KO the entire universe and restart the universe. , Start over.

There are many X-Men heroes, so it can still be filmed, but this will encounter another problem, that is, the age of the actors.

Either they are too old to be able to shoot, or they are too expensive to hire, so the team can't get together.

For example, Wolverine is old and can no longer act, so the universe has to be restarted. For example, some actors have become too expensive to hire, so the universe has to be restarted.

No superhero movie lasts forever.

As with all superhero movies, the universe reboots, forever inevitable.

Of course Robert also knows, but he doesn't want "Wolverine" to end with death, he hopes to go far away, disappear or enjoy his old age.

Although he was already mentally prepared, when he saw this script——

Fuck, he, mother, fuck.

Joey actually used this method to end the curtain, or to restart it.

Are superhero movies supposed to be family-friendly popcorn movies for all ages?

Joey Grant wrote "Wolverine 3" so tragically, is this the rhythm to kill him?

He really admired Joey's height and courage.

He really admired Joey's vision and heart.

After reading this script, he was very upset, very, very upset, and he believed that this emotion would haunt him for half a year.

Because of this script, he, mother, is so different, so heroic that there is no way to describe it in words!

It's unimaginable that Joey Grant actually wrote down all the mutants on the entire earth to death.

Yes, the mutants on the entire earth are all dead!

Even the protagonist is dead and buried!

It's really a complete, clean death, all his, his mother's dead!

Fans have been chasing Wolverine and X-Men for more than ten years, and now Joey Grant clearly tells you that yes, they are all dead, and this series is completely over.

It's over, it's over, it's over.

It's really over, there is no suspense at all, and it is not procrastinating at all, it can't be over anymore.

Although for Fox, such an ending is also reasonable, so that fans no longer have any nostalgia for this series.Only in this way can it be convenient for Fox to restart another universe of the X-Men, and also allow fans to focus on another X-Men universe restarted by Fox.

However, it still hurts.

Robert's tears fell on the last line of the script, the text of Wolverine's grave.

He expects, expects that there will be a line below, Wolverine will crawl out of the grave, just like in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", Superman is dead, and the soil on the coffin moves in the last shot.

But Joey didn't, she insisted on shattering everyone's illusions.

Wolverine is really dead, let's face it, not a grain of sand will move again.

This is not Wolverine's grave, this is the collective curtain call of the older generation of X-Men.

Joey Grant, you are too ruthless, you are really too ruthless.

This kind of superhero movie will be shot with a style that has never appeared in superhero movies. This will definitely lead to a bloody storm!

That's right, they Fox said that "Wolverine 3" is the end and end of the old generation of X-Men series, but your writing is too bleak and heroic!

This is a rhythm that will force old fans to cry for months!

Simply... simply... Robert has only one adjective in his mind at the moment, which is simply amazing.

Besides Joey, who else in the world would dare to make a superhero movie like this?

Besides Joey, who in the world has the courage, height, vision and heart to write such a desolate superhero script, and even dare to write all the mutants and X-Men in the world to death!

When fans see this movie, they will definitely thank Joy for giving fans around the world a tearful farewell to an era, the end of a group of heroes.

With such a tragic script, she gave the most shocking ending and ending of the entire X-Men era.

Thank her for taking over the movie "Wolverine 3".

This will be a script that shocked the entire Hollywood. If this script is made into a movie, it will definitely become the most unique superhero movie of this era.

A tragic, desolate superhero elegy!

This is the first time someone has made a superhero movie in this style.Not Su Shuang from beginning to end, but downright unhappy.

However, this is the ending method and ending that is most in line with Wolverine and the older generation of X-Men.

It's also the most logical way to kick off Fox's new X-Men universe.

Joey told the world in his own unique way——

Since then, there has been no Wolverine in the world.
