The Classic Super Suit
Yelena arrived quickly, and Li Chen picked her up and took her to the film set.
The second Superman movie was handed over to James Wan.
The producer told him that James Wan initially lacked control over the production team.
This is mainly because of their unequal social status.
While James Wan has shone brightly in the horror genre, he hasn't achieved anything more hardcore, especially in commercial films.
This also led to the actress who played Superman's girlfriend, Lois, throwing a tantrum.
At first, they were very unconvinced.
Fortunately, after filming began, James Wan gradually gained control of the set.
This is quite normal in Hollywood. These stars are showered with praise, or become famous overnight, and generally have terrible tempers.
Moreover, they need this kind of temper to maintain their own interests.
In America, if you are too mild-mannered, you will be considered 'weak'.
That's why many celebrities have bad tempers.
Li Chen didn't have any bias towards them, after all, many of them were just personas.
Looking at them, they weren't even as genuine as the later "The Three Technical School Brothers" in China.
"Wen, this is Yelena."
Li Chen found James Wan and they introduced themselves, "This is the director, James Wan."
Yelena appeared to be taller than James Wan, but she greeted him respectfully.
"Director Wen."
"Hello, Yelena."
Li Chen continued, "Yelena is the perfect candidate for Supergirl. Let's try her on first and see how it looks."
Upon hearing Li Chen's words, James Wan sized up Yelena.
She has beautiful features, but she's a bit 'serious'. Otherwise, her figure is perfect, and she has beautiful light blonde hair.
He has a good height, but isn't too tall.
Being too short or too tall isn't a good thing in Hollywood.
This will cause you to miss many opportunities.
After all, not everyone is Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise's biggest drawback is that he's not tall enough.
But at his level, everyone has to accommodate him; even actresses, no matter how high-ranking, have to be out of position when filming in front of him.
This is naturally a privilege reserved for superstars.
"Perfect timing, filming is about to wrap up, we can go straight to shooting the post-credits scene."
James Wan said, "Let's try on the uniform first."
Supergirl will not appear in the main movie of Superman 2, but will appear in a post-credits scene.
So James Wan wasn't in a hurry; he just needed to find the right actors beforehand.
Moreover, there's no promotion now; instead, it's presented as a surprise to the audience.
People aren't used to Easter eggs in this day and age; Easter eggs bring surprises.
Unlike more than a decade later, when everyone assumes there are Easter eggs in these kinds of movies.
And it's hard to say how much it has to do with the movie.
Yelena's appearance displeased Amy Adams.
The competition among actresses is particularly fierce in Hollywood because, after all, the film market is male-dominated, and opportunities for female stars are limited.
So those stories of deep sisterhood and Hollywood besties are simply not true.
However, no one paid her any attention, since Amy Adams played Superman's girlfriend Lois, and there was actually no competition between her and Yelena.
Perhaps she simply couldn't stand seeing Yelena, so young, get such a great opportunity.
Yelena went into the changing room alone and didn't come out for about ten minutes.
By this time, she had changed out of her casual clothes and put on her Supergirl Super Suit.
James Wan clearly took it seriously, creating several Super Suits for Supergirl, depending on the situation.
The first outfit Yelena changed into was one of Supergirl's classic Super Suits.
The upper body is a blue bodysuit with an "S" symbol in the middle, representing the House of El, similar to Superman.
Behind her was a large red cloak, big enough to completely envelop her petite figure.
The most classic one is below, with a red short skirt, her Longlegs completely exposed, covered by black stockings.
She wore red high-heeled boots, which made a 'thump thump' sound on the ground.
Yelena does have a great figure, and because of her large frame, the clothes fit her well and don't make her look thin or gaunt.
"Good."
Li Chen and James Wan sized up Yelena.
This uniform is classic; Yelena looks like Supergirl straight out of a comic book.
James Wan nodded in agreement. "Yelena has a great image; she'll look great on camera."
Some people are like that; what they see on screen and what they see in real life are completely different feelings.
Another point is that there's a big difference between wearing clothes and not wearing them.
For example, Charlize Theron has a figure that looks perfect when she's dressed, but is quite ordinary when she's not wearing anything.
Because they have large frames, this style suits them well and they look great on camera.
"Let's try another set."
James Wan filmed it, and then Li Chen spoke.
Yelena was also very excited; who wouldn't want to play Superman?
She watched Natasha's movie, Lucy, in which Lucy seemed even more powerful than Superman, which was Yelena's point of contention.
She wanted to appear stronger than Natasha.
Yelena excitedly went to change into her second Super Suit.
The second Super Suit was suggested by Li Chen; it was a tight-fitting, one-piece Supergirl Super Suit that looked very sculpted and gave off a sense of 'power'.
Especially when Yelena wore it, it accentuated her muscles without making them appear too large; instead, it gave her a perfect look.
However, it's not easy to put on. Even Yelena needed help from staff to get into it, and oil was also needed.
This is the Supergirl costume from the movie "The Flash," which Li Chen found very impressive at the time, so he brought it up this time.
It looks like it's working very well.
It felt completely different from what I had at the beginning.
Two Super Suits, two styles.
Even James Wan hesitated for a moment. "Li, which one do you think is better?"
"The first set is more classic and fits the comic book character, while the second set has a stronger sense of power."
After thinking it over, Li Chen decided it was better to use the first set first.
Because the most important thing for comic book adaptations is to 'follow the original'.
Of course, good things should be preserved, and bad things should be discarded.
For example, in the comics, Superman always wears his red underwear on the outside...
If this were a scene from a movie and remained as a record, it would be truly embarrassing to look at.
Milk Dragon Chao retained this characteristic from his previous life, and even described it as 'retro'.
The result was predictable.
He was instantly defeated by Henry's superb Super Suit.
Sometimes, not everything needs to be restored to its original state.
Anything that is out of step with the times should be discarded.
But Supergirl's dress is indeed a classic.
Moreover, Li Chen also knows what the audience wants to see.
Don't audiences just love seeing beautiful women and long Longlegs?
In its previous life on Earth, the TV series "Supergirl" was initially very popular. However, due to the rise of feminism, the Supergirl uniform was abandoned, and a completely naked outfit was created instead...
Then the TV series' ratings got worse and worse.
After all, the most important thing about watching TV is the visual effect. That Super Suit that doesn't show anything is unremarkable, and no one will see anything exciting.
