Hulk Bruce Banner is a character worth exploring and focusing on. Whether in the 1980s or the 21st century, when Marvel Entertainment conceived a big screen strategy for movies, Hulk was the first tier of the object to consider, and it can even be said to be the first choice, better than Spider-Man and Fantastic Four.ggaawwx

But everyone was puzzled why all the Hulk movies failed without exception. Until Reims was reborn, Hollywood did not find an accurate answer, and the restart plan for the Hulk's single-player movie was always in the "debate" stage and was not put on the agenda.

Now, Lance has to face this "unknown puzzle" that has not been solved in twenty years.

In Lance's view, it is actually a problem with the script, one is the script framework, and the other is the main line of the script.

From the perspective of script framework, commercial movies follow certain routines, setting up one main line, one to two branch lines, and structured according to a three-stage framework, two to three turns, two small and one large, and the script duration is controlled within one hundred to one hundred and one hundred and thirty minutes. This is true for almost all successful movie scripts.

The reason why Ang Lee's version of "Hulk Hulk" failed was because he broke away from such a framework and took a different approach to writing from the perspective of the tragic story of ancient Greek epic heroes, creating the most unique superhero in the history of the film, but his desperate attempt suffered an avalanche defeat in the summer.

From the main line of the script, superhero movies also have certain modes, gaining abilities, opening their horizons, encountering evil, awakening, punishing evil and promoting good, and the ultimate showdown. The whole story is still a sense of justice, but the way of expression is slightly different. "Iron Man", "Captain America 2", "Avengers" and other works that achieve win-win box office and reputation, all follow this main line.

Louis Lattery's version of "Invincible Hulk" follows the framework of a genre movie, but the main line of the script seems vague, not only losing the soul that makes the audience excited, but also making Bruce Banner, a character full of depth, completely incomprehensible.

Both "Hulk Hulk" and "Invincible Hulk" failed, but it is undeniable that both works have their own advantages.

Ang Lee's digs into the role of Hulk, from childhood shadows to nightmare, from disaster to tragedy, surrounding the fateful entanglement between Banner and son, presents a tragedy of fate. Although the movie failed, it made the Hulk, the most unique superhero image. Louis, the director's experience is not rich, but he filmed the "Fate Express" series, which is commendable for the rhythm control of genre movies. Their fantasy ideas left a lot of impressions, especially creating an atmosphere where Hulk fights against the whole world alone. It can be said to be a necessary element in genre movies.

If the advantages of these two works in the previous life can be mixed together, it will inevitably create an excellent work, which may even surpass "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" and become the most outstanding superhero movie in history. However, if the adaptation is really so easy, the Hulk Project will not be silent for so long.

Now, Lance has the opportunity to create the "Invincible Hulk" work according to the idea.

In the last life, the script of "Invincible Hulk" was written by Zach Payne Kenn. If you simply browse Zach's resume, many people will be surprised. "Men 2", "Men 3", and "Avengers" are all works. So why did you write a mushy script like "Invincible Hulk"? Is it performing abnormally or why?

But after carefully reading Zach's portfolio, it is not difficult to find that the two works, "Men 2" and "Avengers", which have excellent reputation and outstanding box office, are responsible for writing the story summary, while the lowest trough of the series "Men 3" has encountered countless bad reviews, and are responsible for writing the script dialogue "Invincible Hulk" belongs to the latter.

In other words, Zach's ability is worthy of recognition in conceiving stories and thinking about the main line, but in terms of specific implementation, he has serious shortcomings. "Invincible Hulk" is a typical representative.

"Invincible Hulk" tells the story of Bruce Banner's transformation. In order to avoid hurting his lover Betty and to avoid being captured by the military, he escaped from Brazil. On the one hand, he was looking for ways to control emotions, and on the other hand, he was looking for ways to eliminate Hulk from his body scientifically. But things went against their wishes, and they were still discovered. The US hoped to copy Hulk's genes and batch war machines. Bruce was unwilling to see war, and even more unwilling to see science achieve the ambitions of some people, so he could only keep running away.

The main line of the story is very vague. The first half is Bruce trying to kill the Hulk in his body and bring his life back on track. The second half is Bruce's decision to use the Hulk to fight against the villain war madman. There is a lack of connection and transformation between the two main lines, and the plot becomes weak and empty, not only lacking persuasiveness, but also making the audience unable to understand.

For example, at the beginning, Bruce and Betty's father General were in full swing, but later the two suddenly cooperated and joined forces to eliminate the villain. Even the military that was fighting to the death stood behind the Hulk.

For example, the villain of the War Madman has almost no description, but only outlines the persistence and madness. In the absence of preparation, he suddenly wants to gain greater power to destroy the world, so that the main line in the second half seems inexplicable.

For example, Bruce has been trying to destroy Hulk, but finally decided to accept it. Without the support of the plot, the audience was confused.

Not to mention the heroine Betty, logically speaking, in the story, she should be the only reason why the Hulk can calm down. But first, the love between the two lacks the foreshadowing and suddenly becomes each other's only support, and he is determined to die. Betty has almost no effect on the plot's promotion, but is just constantly shouting "Bruce", completely becoming a vase, and has no help to the plot change.

To sum up, Zach's idea was undoubtedly good when he conceived the story, but he was in big trouble during the execution stage and could not clarify the idea at all, which led to the story becoming a chaos. After watching the movie, the audience had no idea what the core idea was to express. Even the hero Hulk had only a vague shadow, and in the end there was only a part of the bombardment. To be honest, such bombardment was not as exciting as Michael Bay. Moreover, director Louis was too petty in his conception of the battle scenes, and he did not have the spirit of pioneering and innovativeness, which made the visual effect it brought was also unsatisfactory. The failure of the movie was foreseeable.

Lance decided to completely overthrow the entire script of "Invincible Hulk", but the story framework can be learned from it.

The core idea should be Bruce Banner's awakening. From the beginning, Bruce decided to kill Hulk, completely heal himself, and regain his normal life, but Betty believed that Bruce could control Hulk, not kill, because when Bruce transformed into Hulk, "I can feel your existence" in the final battle, transformed into hatred war madman began to destroy New York City. With Betty's encouragement, Bruce took the initiative to transform into Hulk, trying to regain his reason, fight against hatred, and save the world.

This is the main line of the whole movie, which is similar to "Iron Man". All plots will be reset around this main line.

The beginning is set up. Bruce Banner made a mistake during the experiment. He transformed into the Hulk for the first time and almost killed his girlfriend Betty. On the one hand, "Invincible Hulk" cannot be strictly regarded as a sequel to "Hulk Hulk". Lance hopes to explain the ins and outs in just a short piece, which can be regarded as a concentrating Ang Lee's work. On the other hand, he cuts into the theme at the beginning to attract audiences and get everyone into the state as soon as possible, and at the same time, he brings the characteristics of popcorn to the extreme. Of course, the most important part is to lay the groundwork, highlight the bond between Bruce and Betty, and let the couple experience a life-and-death crisis from the beginning, and trigger a chemical reaction as soon as possible.

Then enter the Brazilian part and slow down the rhythm and use extreme calm to contrast the extreme chaos of the beginning. Then the war madman appears.

In this part, Betty's father General Ross and Brosky, who later turned into hatred, will be the top priority. First, the triangle relationship between Betty, Ross and Bruce, Lance believes that simple processing will remove the sudden transformation of Ross in the previous life's "Invincible Hulk", and truly make Ross a cold-blooded and ruthless war machine, and even family affection can be sacrificed. This tragedy of fate can even be continued into the sequel, making Ross the ultimate villain behind the scenes. For example, trying to produce more Hulks, conducted many experiments, and even the human body exploded, he was unwilling to give up. Later, even under Brosky's initiative, he used Brosky as a test piece and tried again. This way, the drama of the plot can be increased, and Betty's character will be more three-dimensional. Most importantly, in this work, the main line will become clearer.

Second, Brosky must increase his role. He can increase the memory flashbacks during Brosky's continuous hunting of Bruce. He does not need to focus too much. He only needs to emphasize the fanaticism about killing. Every war in the past thirty years has been actively involved, constantly seeking excitement, seeking opponents, and eager to kill can be set as having just left the Iraqi battlefield, transforming into a mercenary, and performing all killer missions. Therefore, seeing the powerful power of the Hulk, Brosky developed a desire, madly hoping to have this power, seize all possibilities regardless of the possibility, and finally became a test piece of General Ross and transforming into hatred.
