Chapter 748 Origin (Repair)
Overall, the first song of "Suicide Squad" is positioned as an origin movie.
Rick Flag, who opens the movie, the Revenge Demon and the Charm Witch, the Crocodile Man, the Death Shooter and the Poison Ivy Girl who appeared in the "Batman" trilogy, plus two "boomerangs" and "slipknots" who act as cannon fodder after just a simple background introduction, form the initial team of the suicide squad.
It is easy to control the life and death of a group of criminals. To drive a group of vicious criminals to serve themselves, it is not enough to just threaten death.
A secret line in this movie is about the running-in process of the suicide squad, including how Rick Flag learned to control a group of criminals, the running-in conflicts between members of the suicide squad, and the potential identification between core members after fighting side by side.
Rick Fleger, played by Natasha Kinsky, was introduced to the team by Rhetto Frank, and the conflict soon emerged.
When Rick Flager realized that human power was insufficient during the last battle with the Revenge Demon, he basically agreed with Amanda Waller's plan to use superpower criminals to form a suicide squad and agreed to be the captain. However, when Rick discovered that Amanda Waller was going to introduce the Revenge Demon who killed his teammates to the team, he immediately rebounded.
This plot is interspersed with the backstory of the revenge demon Raphael Sandoval.
Raphael Sandoval is the second generation of revenge demons in DC comics. The other party was originally an ordinary gang member. He was betrayed by his accomplices in a gun battle with the police. After being imprisoned, he accidentally gained the power of revenge demons. Because he could not bear the bullying, Raphael Sandoval in the prison unexpectedly broke out, burning everyone around him to escape from the prison, triggering the battle at the opening of the movie.
After bargaining, Rick barely accepts the revenge demon.
Then there is the heart that is controlled by Amanda Waller, whose heart can only be used as a slave with peace of mind, the crocodile man, the death snatcher and the poison ivy woman who were thrown into the Arkham mental hospital by Batman.
Unlike the complete criminal attributes of Crocodile Man and Death Shooter, Poison Ivy saved the entire world in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", but did not receive the treatment of a hero. After burning her own life to purify the Joker's poison gas, Batman sent the Poison Ivy who was unable to resist to the Arkham Mental Hospital. It was not a punishment, but just thought that the other party was not suitable for appearing in human society, and promised to give Poison Ivy a certain amount of protection.
Before Amanda Waller appeared, the Poison Ivy woman was indeed leisurely and comfortable in the Arkham Mental Hospital. This also shows that Amanda Waller is essentially an anti-hero.
The subsequent "boomerang" and "slipknot" are slightly weak superpowered criminals captured by humans. One was used by Amanda Waller to establish his authority, and the other died in the subsequent battle, basically two cannon fodder.
The team was established in a stumble and was sent directly to the Metropolitan City for missions.
Regain the target of suspected 'mother box'.
The location is in the underground warehouse of a private museum in the Metropolitan area.
Because the information in the mother box is too sensitive, the federal government can only use this shameful means to steal it quietly without absolute evidence.
As for the provider of this information, it is Meiwu.
The film does not hide the clue that Meiwu is actually a villain in the movie. From the first time Meiwu met Rick, Rick noticed something wrong with this woman. Then, until the mission started, Rick still expressed doubts about the purpose of the trip.
In private, Meiwu also gave the answer directly. The clue she guided Amanda Waller was not the mother box, but the ancient magic box that sealed her master's "Demon Nightmare". Meiwu wanted to release her master, but she did not have this ability, so she could only pretend to surrender to Amanda Waller, and sacrificed herself to hand over her heart weakness to the other party.
In the comic setting, Demon Nightmare is the brother of the witch.
During the script creation process, Simon felt that this relationship was less persuasive, so he simply changed it to the master.
The plan was finalized, and the team set out. The "sliver knot" that had just been free and unbelievable and wanted to escape was shot by Amanda Waller. Soon, one of them was gone. The villains who settled down could only show their magical powers and soon sneaked into the underground warehouse of the private museum.
The first climax appeared in the plot here.
The cat girl appeared.
Batman accidentally intercepted news from Amanda Waller and commissioned a catwoman who was good at stealing to come and find out the truth, and happened to run into the suicide squad.
Because Catwoman appeared in the first "Batman: The Moment of War", for preconceived reasons, Catwoman played by Valerie Gollino has been very popular in recent years. Simon signed a contract with the actress for three movies, and had used two of them before.
In order to ensure that Catwoman still has a chance to appear during the subsequent hero assembly, the DC team started negotiations with Valerie Gollino before the filming of "Suicide Squad", and the two sides signed two other film contracts for a total of $15 million.
This is also Simon's negligence at the time.
Why did Scarlett Johnson, the Black Widow actor in the memory, get a $20 million salary second only to Donnie? The problem is that Black Widow is too popular, but Marvel did not sign a long contract with the other party at the beginning. The subsequent Marvel Cinema Universe actors did not have such good luck.
Similarly, Simon thought it would be enough to sign three movie contracts with Valerie Gollino, but he didn't expect that he would miscalculate it.
Fortunately, the two sides have been working happily, with the two films about $15 million, which is within the scope of DC acceptance. Valerie Gollino is also aware of her situation and does not ask for a price. Cat women are indeed very angry, but they are not essential. At least the Poison Ivy women played by Nicole Kidman are no worse than her.
If she is unwilling to renew her contract or ask for a huge price, she will only have one chance to show her face in the huge DC movie universe series, and she will have to wait a few years later. Not only that, with Daenerys Entertainment's strength in Hollywood, once the relationship breaks out, she will not expect to obtain other resources in Hollywood in the future, and she can basically retire early.
The era when Hollywood big names are coaxed by studios and can be domineering themselves, with the rise of Daenerys Entertainment Group, it is gone forever.
Valerie Gollino renewed two film contracts, which led to Catwoman's appearance in "Suicide Squad".
Of course, for more than ten minutes of scenes, Valerie Gollino easily took away the maximum salary of $5 million that was limited to the contract. Such an easy income, even many first-line actresses could only envy them.
In fact, it is Simon who generally signed only three to five film contracts with DC Cinema Universe actors, and that was intentional. Of course, he could sign more contracts with actors like Marvel in his memory, and his pay could also be much lower. He did not do this at the beginning, because Simon hoped that one day, DC Cinema Universe would be unable to continue because of the high pay for actors.
At that time, it will be the moment when Marvel will make efforts.
Traditional Hollywood blockbusters usually involve good people fighting bad guys, and the audience will only impose themselves on the side of good guys.
This time, "Suicide Squad" is reversed.
Catwoman is both good and evil in the comics, but after working with Batman several times in a row, Selena Kyle is already one of the superheroes.
Therefore, the conflict over the ancient magic box became a rare plot on the big screen where bad guys beat good guys.
With the overall strength of the suicide squad, it would be easy to deal with Catwoman who was alone if they worked together. However, when the two sides met, except for Rick Flag, the other villains who were still dissatisfied with Amanda Waller showed more or less paddling postures.
After all, the superpower criminal is not like Da Baicai. One is missing and one can be scratched. As long as there is no obvious betrayal, even if the Poison Ivy woman openly 'flirted' with the Catwoman', Amanda Waller did not take any ruthless action.
However, after all, two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that it is one-on-seven, and Catwoman failed to take away the ancient magic box.
The battle of the crowd triggered the alarm system of the private museum. After a chaotic battle, both Catwoman and Suicide Squad evacuated separately. During this period, Poison Ivy Girl also secretly helped Catwoman against Amanda Waller's will, sending the other party away. At the same time, Catwoman brought a message to Batman, and she needed an explanation.
The task is finally completed.
Members of the suicide squad were temporarily sent back to the Arkham Mental Hospital, and the ancient magic box, which was used by the magic witch to show the appearance of a mother box, was taken to the suicide squad headquarters.
Then, the charming witch turned against the water.
The Demon Nightmare is released and fled to the metropolis.
The demon nightmare, which had just escaped from the seal, was very weak, and gave Amanda Waller the opportunity to make up for it, and re-sumed the suicide squad to start the hunt.
During this operation, the members of the suicide squad gradually began to form a certain tacit understanding.
The second cannon fodder, Boomerang, was also killed in the operation.
Finally, the witch sacrifices herself as a sacrifice, which promotes the demon nightmare to restore full blood, and the metropolis is facing threat.
The ultimate decisive battle begins.
Faced with the demon nightmare that was enough to destroy the entire city, even the revenge demon who was good at manipulating flames could not compete with it, and the main output fell on the Poison Ivy Girl again.
Last time, he saved the world at the cost of burning his own life, but he was not only imprisoned, but now he is forced to become someone else's thug. The Poison Ivy Girl naturally would not submit easily. He bargained with Amanda Waller and finally decided to take action with all his strength. The remaining crocodile men, death snatchers and revenge demons also showed their bad guy nature and took the opportunity to put forward various conditions.
In the end, justice...oh no, evil defeats evil.
Amanda Waller, who has shown his anti-hero nature at the beginning, repents the promise of the Poison Ivy Girl after everyone got the Demon Nightmare and asks Rick Flag to bring all of them back.
Catwoman appears again and helps Poison Ivy remove the bomb implanted in the neck. The two leave together. Batman also appears in the final episode, but it is just a voice that warns Amanda Waller.
The story ends here.
When the subtitles rose, everyone in the Hollywood Chinese Theater felt unsatisfactory.
Filmmakers think about how to draw inspiration from this other special effects blockbuster.
Media people are wondering how to write tomorrow's report.
Many movie fans have more diverse moods. Some people feel the beauty of the witch, some shock the power of the demon nightmare, some reminisce about the various details of the whole movie, and some know a certain feeling between the cat girl and the poison ivy girl.
At the same time, it is inevitable that the bomb on the neck of the Poison Ivy woman was taken out, which means that Nicole Kidman will not appear in the next "Suicide Squad". The Meiwu, who is also a good-looking person, also died in this movie, missing two women, and what female villains will appear in the next movie?
Thinking about this, the subtitles will illuminate until the end.
Routine Easter eggs.
Everyone cheered up.
The remaining Death Shooter, Crocodile Man and Revenge Demon are reincarnated in the Arkham Mental Hospital, and Amanda Waller fulfills the promise that the three of them have made.
In the adjacent mountain cell, the account of Death Shooter was unbanned, and the money he earned when he was a killer was set up as his daughter's trust fund. At this time, he was looking through the letters sent by his daughter with satisfaction. The Revenge Demon had an extra deck of tarot cards in his hand, sitting cross-legged in the cell, as if obsessed with it. The Crocodile Man's cell was between the two, with a wall-mounted TV installed inside, and a sitcom was playing.
The lens is pulled closer.
On the TV screen is "Friends" produced by Daenerys Entertainment.
In the daily quarrel between Rachel and Chandler, there was a sudden commotion in the mental hospital, gunshots, footsteps, and explosions mixed together, making them extremely lively.
But all three of them were alive, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
The crocodile man looked at the TV screen and suddenly raised his hand and thrust hard on the wall a few times, attracting the attention of the other two people, and said in a rough voice: "Hey, cum, have you noticed that according to the routine of soap opera, there is actually a pistachio missing in our team."
As soon as the words were finished, a series of crazy and sickly women's laughter suddenly floated out of the entire Arkham mental hospital.
"Haha...hahaha...hahahahaha..."
In the next cell, the Death Shooter paused and then raised his chin in the direction of the sound: "You mean, like this?"
The picture is dark.
The movie is over.
In the screening hall of the Chinese Theater, even the audience who had no idea about DC Comics were creepy because of the last series of women's laughter, and thus developed an inexplicable expectation.
Fans of movies and comics are even more excited.
Just as the laughter came out, a name flashed through many fans' minds: Clown Girl.
After the summer "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", the clown played by Raffan Phoenix left a deep impression on the audience. Careful fans of this "Suicide Squad" also discovered that when Amanda Waller and Rick Flag were recruiting members of the suicide squad at the Arkham Mental Hospital, a dignified and graceful figure had just given psychological counseling to a criminal.
Now, with the Easter Egg and the comic plot, many viewers have reacted, that is the Joker Girl.
Not long ago, it was regretted that Nicole Kidman's Poison Ivy Girl was unable to continue to star in the sequel. With the emergence of the Joker, many fans' expectations for the sequel immediately rose to a new level.
The lights are on.
Accompanied by the endless applause, the main creators of the film took the stage one after another and began the interactive session.
The first reporter who was called directly asked everyone's most concerned question: whether the last laughter of the movie Easter egg comes from the Joker Girl, whether this DC super villain will play the heroine of the next "Suicide Squad", and which actress will play the role?
Except for the well-known clown girl who was confirmed, there was obviously no answer.
This is a convention.
Everyone was not disappointed and asked other questions one after another. The 15-minute interactive session was scheduled for more than twenty minutes because the on-site media and audience were too enthusiastic.
When the interactive session ended, the premiere ended successfully.
Chapter completed!
