Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 580 Couldn't Be More Appropriate
And when Li Feng and the two were eating, Marvel also welcomed its first audition actor, who was once a popular fried chicken in Hollywood, and now a downer, Robert Downey Jr.

Jon Favreau looked at Robert Downey Jr. who was sitting across from him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In the 90s, who would have thought that Robert Downey Jr. would be reduced to what he is now.

Kevin Fitch was sitting on the other side, with a look of impatience in his eyes. Although he agreed to Jon Favreau's opinion, it was just to show that he respected Jon Favreau's opinion, but in his heart he was I don't really want to use Robert Downey Jr.

In fact, in another time and space, if it wasn't for Jon Favreau's insistence in the end, coupled with the fact that he couldn't find an affordable and suitable actor, Robert Downey Jr. might indeed miss the role of Iron Man.

The audition process is actually very simple, and it is very different from the usual role audition. For other roles, when auditioning, the actor will be given a short part of the script for the actor to perform. At the same time, there are makeup auditions and action auditions. wait but now
Although Marvel has confirmed that it will start making movies and that it will take "Iron Man" as its pioneering work, in fact, up to now, Marvel has not even had a complete "Iron Man" script. Ru only had a piece of paper in his hand, and he had written some possible stories. The script didn’t exist, so let’s talk about it during filming!

To be honest, the success of "Iron Man" can be regarded as shit luck.

In fact, there are quite a few directors like this, such as Wang Jiawei and Du Qifeng of Xiangjiang. When they were making movies, the more they disliked writing scripts. Wang Jiawei wrote for more than a week, and only handed in two messy papers. As a result, he was scolded out of the office by Huang Boming. If Wang Jiawei didn't have a good friend Liu Zhenwei, would he be able to become a director? Still two to say.

Although Du Qifeng's early encounters were more unexpected than Wong Kar-wai's, he was unwilling to write scripts when filming movies. For example, the movie "Gunfire" that was regarded as a classic by movie fans actually had no script and was basically filmed. Sometimes, it was filmed by the director and actors on the spot.

And this movie was finished after only ten days of filming, but it became a classic in the end, where are you going to reason about this!
There was nothing wrong with Robert Downey Jr.'s audition. Being able to nominate the Best Actor for the Academy Award in the early days already shows that his acting skills are definitely not a problem.

Although the Oscars are not as fair and impartial as rumored outside, every actor who is nominated has to pay a lot of public relations fees to win the award, but the Oscars' academic food is still good to see , This is already very good and upright in the entertainment industry, at least it's not like some domestic awards are full of "double yolk eggs" and "three yolk eggs", is this interesting!

But there are exceptions to everything, such as Robert Downey Jr.'s partner in the movie "Iron Man" in the previous life, Pepper Gwyneth, who won the Academy Award for "Shakespeare in Love" that year. After that, she was known as the worst actress in the history of Oscars, and it was Weinstein who later broke out the biggest scandal in Hollywood!
The growth process of Tony Stark in the comics is actually the same as that of Robert Downey Jr. They both became famous at a young age and only grew up after suffering a big loss.

At this time, Robert Downey Jr. stood there, thinking about all the things he had done in the past.

When he first debuted, Robert Downey Jr. walked there, and there was the focus of the spotlight, just like Tony Stark who debuted in the comics, but after going through that unbearable past, Robert Downey Jr. finally Knowing some things, he changed his mind from then on, and so did Tony Stark.

Jon Favreau sat in his seat and watched Robert Downey Jr.'s impromptu performance. He was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly. Although Kevin Fitch on the other side didn't think Robert Downey Jr. was suitable. The role of Iron Man, but seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s performance, I can't help but sigh, if only Robert Downey Jr. didn't have those bad pasts.

However, if Robert Downey Jr. didn't have those bad past events, he probably wouldn't be playing Iron Man.

Some things are just so wonderful.

More than ten minutes later, Robert Downey Jr.'s performance ended. Jon Favreau applauded first, and Kevin Fitch also stood up and applauded, but his expression was a bit complicated.

He didn't deny Robert Downey Jr.'s performance, but he still didn't want to use him.

Just like when Disney was preparing to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean", the president of Disney didn't like Depp and didn't want to use him. If it weren't for the insistence of the director and producer at that time, it is estimated that Depp would not be able to become Jack Spear lo.

It can only be said that many things are composed of countless coincidences.

"Downey, your performance is perfect, I am very satisfied with your performance!" Jon Favreau came to Robert Downey Jr. and said with a smile.

Robert Downey Jr. is also very happy in his heart, but he knows whether he can become Tony Stark. Jon Favreau's approval does not play a decisive role. The one who really has the right to speak is standing on the side of Jon Stark. Kevin Fitch next to Favreau!

It's just that when Robert Downey Jr. looked at Kevin Feige, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, because he had seen a lot of such eyes in the past two years.

With a public relations smile, Kevin Fitch smiled and said to Robert Downey Jr.: "Downey, thank you for coming to audition for the role of Tony. I have already seen your audition, and it is very good. But it is not possible now. Tell you the answer, you also know the significance of this movie to the company, so we can only make a decision after a meeting!"

Pretty standard PR answer!
Robert Downey Jr. felt a little depressed, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, I believe no one is more suitable for the role of Tony than me!"

Kevin Fitch laughed and said, "Always have to see it!"

After speaking, Kevin Fitch didn't communicate with Robert Downey Jr., but left the room directly. Jon Favreau looked at Robert Downey Jr. who was a little disappointed, and said, "Donnie, don't worry. , I will seriously convince Kevin!"

Robert Downey Jr. squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you!"

Jon Favreau patted Robert Downey Jr. on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back and wait for the announcement!"

Then Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the room in a bit of despair.

Watching the back of Robert Downey Jr. leaving, Jon Favreau came to Kevin Fitch's office.

Looking at Jon Favreau, Kevin Fitch asked, "Donnie is gone?"

Jon Favreau nodded and said, "Kevin, you have seen Downey's performance just now. His performance is absolutely perfect. I think he is very suitable for the role of Tony, and his price is not high. "

Kevin Fitch smiled, and did not directly object to Jon Favreau's opinion, saying: "I also watched Downey's performance just now, and it is undeniable that he is indeed very suitable for this role, but Jon, I also To be responsible for the company and the shareholders of the company, if Downey plays Tony, it may cause fluctuations in the company's stock price, you know we can't afford to lose!"

Although Kevin Fitch didn't directly reject Jon Favreau, the meaning he expressed was self-evident.

"But, do we still have suitable candidates?" Jon Favreau didn't get angry because Kevin Fitch disagreed with him. Everyone is an adult and knows what kind of result is most important to him .

Kevin Fitch laughed and said, "I still think Tom Cruise is more suitable. If he can join us, then my negotiation with Merrill Lynch will be smoother!"

Tom Cruise is known as the Liu Dehua of North America. He belongs to the kind of star who is popular from the beginning to the end. When he first debuted, his performance in "Top Gun" conquered the entire Hollywood. The Impossible series became a top star in Hollywood.

Except for his own little religious belief, which has been criticized by others, everything else is good.

Jon Favreau said: "Kevin, we can't afford Tom Cruise's salary, and what's more, he promised to bring money into the team!"

As the director of this movie, Jon Favreau doesn't like such actors. Although Tom Cruise can bring more topics to this movie, he will also take on the role of the crew with the money. The responsibility of the producer, no director likes actors more than his own rights.

Kevin Fitch naturally knew Jon Favreau's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I will guarantee your authority in the crew, and I will discuss it with Tom Cruise again. I hope he can give up the idea of ​​bringing funds into the group!"

Jon Favreau walked out of Kevin Fitch's office. In fact, Jon Favreau didn't quite agree with Kevin Fitch's ideas, and he didn't think he would succeed. Tom Cruise's level The actor is not Robert Downey Jr. If there is no personal problem, it is impossible for them to lower their value!

It is almost impossible to get them to generate electricity for love!
Therefore, Jon Favreau was not in a hurry, he decided to wait for Kevin Fitch to discuss with him after he came back from Wall Street.

Sometimes characters find people, and sometimes people find characters. For Iron Man "Tony Stark", Robert Downey Jr. really couldn't be more suitable!
