According to foreign media reports, "Deadpool" was finally released after twists and turns, but unexpectedly became a box office dark horse this year, and the lead actor Ryan Reynolds also turned around with this film and became a hot male movie star in Hollywood. A few days ago, Reynolds was named "Person of the Year" by GQ, and Reynolds himself was interviewed by GQ, during which he talked about a lot of secrets in the production process of "Deadpool".
Reynolds poured bitter water: these 11 years have suffered him!
GQ: Why did It take so long for Deadpool to be made?
Reynolds: It took me 11 years to make this film. We tried our best to change the script repeatedly, and finally got approval to make a film that was roughly similar to what we envisioned.
GQ: You implanted your version of Deadpool's "Trojan" in a traditional superhero script.
Reynolds: We thought, "If they approve us to shoot this, then we'll secretly shoot it like that, hoping they won't notice." "The test snippets were leaked online and received tremendous support. The studio's response to fan cries was: "Well, that's the minimum investment we can make for this movie, and remember to tell us when the film is finished." ”
It was very, very difficult to make this movie... Pre-production had some horror disputes and escalated quickly. Luckily, everyone grows up and ends up loving each other and enjoying everything.
I know when to grab power and when to let go, and I don't tell director Tim Miller how to shoot special effects, he's a wizard for that. There are some things I know very well about the characters and the tone of the film, and apart from the comic book authors, I can say that I am the person who spends the most time on Deadpool. For exactly 11 years, I pushed the stone up to the top of the mountain like the mythical Sisyphus, but the stone kept rolling down. So from the beginning to the end of the shooting, I will be in full control.
After the film was cut, the situation did not improve, and some people on the film side still looked at it in a daze and did not look at it well. Fortunately, one of fox's people in power was my high school classmate in Vancouver, and after watching the film, she foresaw the long-term future of the film and helped us decide on the final version, the very conventional version.
GQ: I heard you paid $20,000 yourself for a photo of Bi Arthur (the Hollywood girl in the comics who was considered the sexiest in the comics) to appear in the film.
Reynolds: We approached her family, the property managers, and the money was donated to her charitable foundation.
All kinds of mockery of "Wolverine" version of Deadpool: it shouldn't be filmed
GQ: You also played Deadpool in Wolverine, but no one was satisfied.
Reynolds: When I did Wolverine, it was a screenwriting strike, and Deadpool's lines were written by myself. The script is written very simply: "Deadpool appears, speaks quickly, and tells jokes." At the beginning of the film, he resembles Deadpool in Deadpool, but then gradually deviates from the original image and common sense, becoming a very annoying version of Deadpool "Barakapool": his mouth is sewn, his hands are strangely bladed, and he has strange tattoos. I only did a small part of the film, and most of the scenes were done by a brilliant stuntman. At that time, the filmmakers said to me, "If you want to play Deadpool, now is a good time to introduce this role." If you don't want to introduce Deadpool in this way, then we'll change to another actor to play him. ”
A month and a half before the film's release, it was leaked online in advance, and everyone was upset about Deadpool after watching it. I was playing with friends in Mexico, and I got a call from the boss of Fox: "Fly back now, we're going to remake the end of the film." "I'm a bad guy, and I immediately thought: I told you a long time ago. I was also very upset, and replied to him on the spot: "Deadpool has more fans than you think, which can't satisfy them." He tried to make excuses: "We don't have time to make a good costume and recreate Deadpool in the comics. I replied, "Then you don't want to shoot at all." ”
GQ: You have a crush on Deadpool, and you're talking about him to promote Green Lantern.
Reynolds: Before making Green Lantern, I wrote an email to Fox's docking supervisor: "If you're not going to make Deadpool, then I'm going to take green lantern." It's like standing on the altar of a church and telling someone, 'I'm going to marry someone else, but my heart is yours, telling me you want to spend the rest of your life with me, because the person I really want to spend the rest of my life with is actually you.' However, Fox responded: "Unfortunately, we can't approve this film now, and I don't think we will approve it in the future." Then I can only say, "Well, then I can only continue my life." ”
GQ: You must have been very proud of Deadpool's big hit, when did you know it was a big success?
Reynolds: I was surprised when the box office came out at midnight on Thursday, and we recouped the cost on Friday of the week of release. It's also a strong defense of ourselves, especially over the years, no matter who is in power, the studios have been letting us go fuck ourselves sterile.
Poor enough to have no money to buy guns, cheap to forget that ammunition is actually really no money...
GQ: Now Fox is starting to throw money at you, right?
Reynolds: Are you crazy? I said, "We want to spend $70 million on this film." They responded: "We insist on giving you 150 million." This has never happened. The more Fox took from us when we made Deadpool, the stronger we became. Two times in the film, Deadpool forgot to bring a weapon and ammunition package, not because he was forgetful, but because we couldn't afford to buy those guns when we made the film.
GQ: It's really brutal.
Reynolds: The whole shot was like I was on a sailboat in the center of the storm, and it didn't stop. After finally shooting, I was a bit mentally broken. I kept shaking and went to the doctor because I felt like I had a neurological condition, and every doctor said, "You have an anxiety disorder." ”
GQ: How strange is it to be reluctant to give courtesy and attention?
Reynolds: I'm actually asking for attention for this movie.
GQ: But you yourself are equal to this movie.
Reynolds: It's really like a second personality, and I can control the switch myself.
GQ: What's next?
Reynolds: Writing the script for Deadpool 2. The new film includes "Alien Awakening", the story of the discovery of extraterrestrial life on the International Space Station. Jack Gyllenhaal and I are friends, but this is our first collaboration. They actually set up an international space station in the london studio, and I showed a astronaut friend through FaceTime, and he was shocked.
In addition, he responded for the first time to "Deadpool" director Miller leaving "Deadpool 2": "I can only say that I am sad to see him leave. Tim was brilliant and no one worked harder than he did. ”
