Chapter 149 Cosmic Cube

Tony's house, in the conference room.

After some fighting, Natasha and Steve separated Lu Mingfei and Tony.

"In short, this script is not approved!" Lu Mingfei slapped the table, "Tony, don't bring any personal information. The protagonist of this movie is Captain America Steve, not the playboy Howard. I'm going to kill you." The father’s role has been changed to the male lead!”

"Correction, this is my part," Tony straightened his collar and said proudly, "And is there anything wrong with this script? It's just that you don't have a movie aesthetic!"

If you ignore the red mark on his neck that was pinched by Lu Mingfei, he is quite impressive.

"Then everyone votes," Lu Mingfei said, "A show of hands if you agree to use this script."

Only Tony raised his hand.

"Those who oppose this script raise their hands!" Lu Mingfei said.

Lu Mingfei, Steve, and Dr. Banner raised their hands almost at the same time, but the strange thing was that Natasha did not raise her hands immediately, and instead showed a thoughtful expression.

what happened? Is this woman trying to do good things by changing her gender? Tony was a little surprised.

Should we consider letting go of our prejudice against her a little bit...

While Tony was thinking about this, Natasha said leisurely: "I'm wondering if we directly ban Mr. Stark from playing any important supporting roles in the movie, can we fundamentally solve the problem that he likes to add drama to himself? question?"

Tony's eyes widened, and he had the look on his face like a middle-aged office worker who came home and discovered that his wife was having an affair, his son was riding a will-o'-the-wisp, and his daughter was hooking up with a yellow-haired gangster.

"I agree!" Steve raised his hand.

"I agree too." Dr. Banner raised his hand.

"I object!" Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his hand.

Tony looked at Lu Mingfei with relief.

"You don't understand Tony," Lu Mingfei shook his head. "Even if he is asked to play a non-existent cameo, he will find ways to turn the costar into the protagonist. So to be on the safe side, I propose that Tony be banned from playing any roles. "

Tony's face turned into the expression of a middle-aged office worker who came home and discovered that his wife was having an affair and was pregnant, his son was riding a will-o'-the-wisp and his daughter went to have an abortion with a yellow-haired gangster.

Natasha, Steve and Dr. Banner raised their hands at the same time: "Agree!"

"No, I don't agree!" Tony slapped the table, "I am a producer or a director, and you actually want to deprive me of my right to participate in the show?!"

"If you agree to compress your plot to the length of a normal supporting role, I will support your participation." In the end, Steve was kinder and said.

"And you need to hire a professional screenwriter," Lu Mingfei complained. "Your film aesthetic is really unflattering. I'm even afraid that you will dress everyone in gold and red clothes."

"Isn't this bad?" Tony wondered.

The other four people rubbed their foreheads one after another.

"Okay, okay, I'll hire a professional screenwriter." Tony had no choice but to compromise.

"Are you so easy to talk to?" Steve was a little surprised. He and Tony had been working together for several months. Although they got along quite happily, there was no doubt that Tony was an extremely conceited and arrogant person.

"I figured out that I can only play supporting roles in other people's movies, so I want to make a movie of my own, called "The Birth of the Great Hero Iron Man."" Tony raised his head and said.

"How about calling it 'How Iron Man Was Made'?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"This is suspected of riding on the popularity of famous books." Tony shook his head.

"You're really thinking about it..." Lu Mingfei complained helplessly.

"Ahem, gentlemen, let's get back to the point." Natasha clapped her hands gently to attract the attention of others and bring the meeting back on track. "To make a movie, we need to solve several problems. First, there is a professional behind-the-scenes team. Including sets, props, photography, lighting, makeup, editing, post-production special effects, etc..."

"Leave it all to me, I will make the props," Tony said. "Let Jarvis handle the post-production special effects. I will hire the most professional people for other positions."

"The second is the actors. We'd better find some big-name stars to join. But with Captain America's name, there will definitely be no shortage of big-name stars who want to join this movie. Don't worry too much about this. In addition, there will be a large number of extras..."

"Leave it to me, to be precise, just leave it to the team I invited." Tony said.

"No, what I want to say is that in terms of extras, SHIELD can provide some professional agents." Natasha said.

"You SHIELD people are so idle?" Tony looked at her.

"Always do something for your allies," Natasha shrugged. "You shouldn't have any doubts about the acting skills of Agents of SHIELD, right?"

Lu Mingfei and others nodded - there is no doubt about this. After all, if an actor does not perform well, he or she will lose some money at most. If an agent does not perform well, a quick death is considered a good ending.

"Our people can play the roles of the US military and Hydra members, and it's guaranteed to be more real than real." Natasha said.

"I think it's okay." Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin and said, free high-performance extras, don't give up.

Tony and the other three also agreed.

"By the way, I also have a friend who also admires Captain America. He will probably be happy to be a bit player," Lu Mingfei said. "With his skills, he should be able to become the best stuntman in the world."

"Stuntman? Your arthropod friend?" Tony teased.

"Arthropod boy?" Steve was a little confused.

"Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes in New York right now," Lu Mingfei said. "His real name is Peter Parker. He is a high school student who is about to go to college. He is also my friend. We were roommates."

Steve suddenly realized that he had also heard of Spider-Man and had a good impression of this young street superhero: "Your friends are welcome to participate."

"Okay, then it's settled, let's start taking action tomorrow." Tony decided.

…

The preparatory work for the filming is proceeding in an orderly manner. As the protagonist, Steve is honing his acting skills intensively, and has recorded his experience in detail, except for the confidential parts, for the screenwriter's reference at the time - —Because this is a heroic epic movie in the nature of a documentary, the captain’s own memoirs are very important.

As a director, Tony went to find those outstanding practitioners behind the scenes of the movie, and at the same time prepared some more important props to ensure that they would never be used in the movie.

Lu Mingfei and Natasha were responsible for interviewing the stars who came to audition - Natasha was mainly responsible for it. Lu Mingfei came because he found that he seemed to have nothing to do, and in order to appear that he was doing something. So he came over and followed Natasha as the interviewer.

Natasha readily agreed to this. If Tony were to be the interviewer, she would never agree, because Tony would probably turn the interview into a concubine selection scene, with all the actors getting out and the actresses wearing three-point bikinis. During the interview, those who are willing to wear transparent straps will get extra points.

But this situation would not have happened if Lu Mingfei came. Natasha even wondered if he was not interested in the opposite sex.

Two days later, at the conference table.

The four of them gathered together and each briefly talked about their progress, and then Tony took out a glowing blue cube.

"What is this?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"One of the most important props is the Cosmic Cube," Tony said. "Hydra tried to use it to develop powerful weapons. Later, during the battle between the captain and the Red Skull, this thing was lost forever in the sea of ​​ice. I found it through This prop was made from scraps of information.”

"This is something that should not exist in the world. If Hydra really uses it to make weapons of mass destruction, I don't know how many innocent people will die tragically." Steve stared at the Cosmic Rubik's Cube prop and said in a tone Shen Ning.

"How about Captain, you should be the most familiar with it in the world." Tony pushed the sharp-edged blue light cube over, "Take a look, does it look like it?"

"It's almost the same as the real thing!" Steve exclaimed.

"I put a small reactor inside, and its blue color comes from the light of the reactor," Tony said proudly, "so it itself has energy, and it can be used to power a building."

"Isn't it too wasteful? Can't you just put a light bulb in it?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"This is called professionalism. When making props, you must have this spirit of restoring it as much as possible." Tony said.

Natasha looked hesitant: "The existence of the Cosmic Cube should be a secret, right? Isn't it inappropriate to film it in a movie?"

"What's inappropriate? The movie should strive to be real, and adapt it if it involves a little bit of secrets. After it's filmed, people will attack it and say it's too fake," Tony said. "Besides, the Rubik's Cube has disappeared anyway, so it's just a prop." What can happen?"

Natasha smiled stiffly: "That makes sense."

…

At the same time, in a certain space.

Loki, who had been exiled by Odin, was half-kneeling on the ground, taking the scepter handed to him by the slender black figure in front of him.

"Remember, you are now serving the great Thanos," Black Shadow said. "Go, go to Earth, find the Cosmic Cube, use it to open the door and welcome the Chitauri army. They will become your army and fight for you. Conquer the earth and you will...become its king."

Loki raised his head, and the faint blue light from the scepter illuminated his face.
