Director who specializes in American comics

Taking a taxi to the location of Winston Studio, after paying the fare, Scarlett helped Stan Lee get out of the car, but the stubborn old man refused to let Scarlett help him, saying that he was not old yet. , How can I get help from others?

Seeing his serious look, with gray hair and gray beard, the two of them suppressed their laughter and let go of the old man.

Winston Special Effects Makeup Studio is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. It occupies a large area. Several tall buildings that are not very tall stand in the courtyard. They are neatly planned. There are not many people in the courtyard, so Wang Xuanyuan At a glance, he saw old man Stan Winston waiting at the door of the main building.

Winston is now in his fifties, his hair has turned gray, he wears a pair of rimless glasses, he is very elegant, and he looks like a scholar at first glance. On the other hand, Stan Lee is also in his fifties, and at first glance he looks very naughty, like an old naughty boy.

When he saw them walking into the door, Winston immediately came down the steps to greet them with a big smile on his face. Because he had dealt with Wang Xuanyuan and Scarlett many times before, the two parties were already very familiar with each other, so it was just He smiled at the two of them, and then the two old men couldn't wait to hold their hands together.

After all, these are two contemporaries who are already experts in their respective fields. There is a feeling of sympathy for each other. Stan Lee spoke first: "Haha, I have long admired your name, Mr. Winston, I am very fond of it." I like the works you create, there is a kind of cultural beauty in them.”

Mr. Winston also said in a sympathetic tone: "Mr. Li, I also like to read the comic characters you created. To be honest, I spent my entire youth and middle-aged years reading your comics. At that time, I I’m working on a movie model, which is very boring, so reading a few pages of comics every day is my best way to spend time.”

Stan Lee smiled and said: "Mr. Winston, every time your new work is released, I will go to the cinema to watch it. Although I am more strict now, I will still watch it secretly."

Stan Winston said kindly: "Then it's time for you to go to the cinema again this time. I heard that Xuanyuan's movie will be released soon."

After hearing what he said, Stan Lee turned his gaze to Wang Xuanyuan with a questioning look.

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Two seniors, please help me. Now the movie has entered the post-production stage and the announcement is about to begin. If I have time now, I would like to take Stan to see the Iron Armor." The model is the three armors, Mr. Winston."

Wang Xuanyuan had already greeted Winston before arriving, so Stan Winston waved his hand politely and let the three of them into the office building.

The office building was exceptionally clean and tidy, and the floor of the hall was spotless. Winston said that most of his works were collected in a special collection room, and these three armors were specially made for Wang Xuanyuan this time. , since it is only stored with him now, it is currently placed in a room on the third floor with a suitable temperature and humidity.

Some floors are very quiet, while other floors are full of sound. Winston said that the places full of sound are planners and designers brainstorming and discussing the works. Everyone is expressing their opinions and everyone's opinions. All will be taken seriously and discussed, so that the collective work will be the best.

In those quiet places, special effects producers are quietly working on their works, and there may occasionally be the sound of machines.

Winston Studio is the most well-known special effects makeup and special effects props production company in the industry. They receive an endless stream of orders every year. They have more than 100 employees here alone, making them a leader in the industry.

While introducing everyone, Winston led them to the front of the innermost room on the third floor, which should be where the three armors were temporarily stored.

Before entering the house, Winston first asked everyone to put on special shoes to avoid stepping on dust or other things in the house. After changing, he allowed Wang Xuanyuan and the others to come closer.

This shows how much Winston attaches importance to his work.

I saw that the room was about a dozen square meters in size. There were many original drafts and design drawings of steel armors posted on the wooden floor and walls. These should be Phil Sanders and Addy Granover. The blueprints from the design process were brought over by Winston.

This time the Iron Armor in Wang Xuanyuan's movie was not designed by someone from Winston Studios, but by Phil Sanders and Addy Granover, both of whom also work for Marvel Comics. , the design of Iron Man's comic image came from these two and Stan Lee, and the idea of ​​Iron Man was first proposed by Stan Lee.

Therefore, Stan Lee knew very well about the character of Iron Man, and he also had the deepest feelings for him. Stan looked at the design drawings on the wall affectionately, and saw the three armors on the ground. , tears flashed in his eyes, but he wiped them away with the back of his hand.

Stan Lee murmured to himself: "After so many years, I finally saw the real thing. It is so exquisite and magical. Winston, you are really a genius."

Winston shook his head and said: "No, I am not a genius. There are thirty or forty people involved in this project. It is their work that makes it so exquisite."

Standing quietly in front of him were three pairs of armors. They were life-size and had the same proportions as real people. Winston said that during the filming, these three pairs of armors had to be worn by people.

These three sets of armors were all made by Iron Man, while Iron Overlord was placed in another room, because Iron Overlord was too tall. If erected, it would be higher than the roof, so a higher room was needed.

The three pairs of red and white armors are Iron Man's Mark 1, the first-generation armor.

Stan Lee gently touched the armor with his hand, looked at it carefully, and kept nodding.

The joints of the armor are movable, so they can be removed and worn on Downey or a stuntman. At Winston's suggestion, Stan Lee put on a piece of armor with the help of the staff and filmed it on the spot. I took several poses, and a staff member specially took photos with a SLR.

During this period, the old man Stan was very happy. The old naughty boy's true nature was once again clearly demonstrated, which also made the staff assisting him laugh. No matter where the old man walked, he would mingle with the people around him.

Winston came next to Stan Lee and asked gently, old man, are you interested in continuing to visit?
