Made in Hollywood

Robert Downey Jr.'s miserable life in the cave lasted only a week. Duke restored him to his status as rich and handsome. The crew left the Hughes Airport and moved to the beach villa area in Malibu to start filming Tony Stark Luxury Private life.

In the setting of the script, Tony Stark is not only a billionaire, with a net worth of nearly ten billion dollars, he is also a very high-profile person in life.

His aim, from a certain point of view, is to only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones.

If Peter Parker and Steve Rogers are just civilian heroes, then Tony Stark is a standard rich hero.

Of course, besides being rich, he is also a playboy.

In the rented seaside villa, Duke looked at the furnishings of the room for the last time and consulted a top designer who specializes in serving the wealthy. After confirming that the room used as the background is okay, he nodded to Changji.

"The second scene, the seventeenth scene," the scene note placed the scene note card in front of the camera, "Now it will begin."

In the luxuriously furnished seaside villa, Lily Aldridge from the Victoria's Secret Angel Team walked to the camera lens.

"Tony, Tony..."

Like a wife who woke up in the morning looking for her disappeared husband, Lily Aldridge wore a loose men’s shirt and walked around the huge living room of the villa, but couldn’t help but find her goal. Looked around curiously.

She first admired the layout of the next room, and then walked to a closed door. She probably got used to the relationship of the extension platform. During the whole process, she was very natural in accordance with Duke's prior requirements, showing her beautiful figure. , Try to play the role of a vase.

Lily Aldridge walked to the door. Seeing a button, I couldn't help pressing it curiously, and a synthetic mechanical sound immediately remembered, "You have no right to enter! You have no right to enter!"

In the film, this is Jarvis's voice, but it's hanging there. It was actually a tape recorder, and Lily Aldridge pressed the play button.

Duke made a gesture to the camera crew. The main camera lens controlled by John Schwarzman immediately moved away from Lily Aldridge and turned to the center of the villa’s living room. The heroine Rachel McAdams is already standing there wearing a black business suit.

"This is Jarvis, he is the housekeeper here." Rachel McAdams lifted the clothes in his hand and motioned to Lily Aldridge. Said, "This is your clothes, it has been dry cleaned and ironed."

She pointed to the outside of the villa again, "The special car is waiting outside, and you can dispatch after listening to it. You can go wherever you want."

Lily Aldridge turned and walked over, "You are the famous Pepper Boss."

"That's right." Rachel McAdams nodded gently.

"Unexpectedly, it has been so many years." Lily Aldridge said with obvious sarcasm, "Tony also asked you to do dry cleaning and picking clothes."

"Mr. Stark asked me to do what I did. I do."

Probably because of Lily Aldridge's infection, Rachel McAdams also used a very ironic tone. "It also includes sweeping him out with the remaining garbage. Is there any problem?"

"Cut!" Duke stopped at this moment and said, "Rachel, your question."

Rachel McAdams was quite savvy, and Duke called to stop. I immediately realized where the problem was, and immediately said, "Is my tone too sarcasm? Pepper? Poss is a quiet and mature female assistant. Even if it is ironic, she should be calm. Say it out."

"That's it." Duke gestured around him. Let the departments prepare and say, "I will do it again in five minutes."

However, the second shot still failed. The problem was Lily Aldridge. After all, she is not a professional actor, so she can't always maintain the same state as before. ,

Duke was not in a hurry. After taking a few shots patiently, he finally passed.

Then, Rachel McAdams returned to the make-up trailer to change clothes. Duke began to take some separate shots of Tony Stark to show his technical side of the otaku. Everyone has their own hobbies, like Tony? What is the biggest hobby of a super rich and tech madman like Stark?

Naturally, it is to get some technology that others can't make, such as making steel suits.

Robert Downey Jr. has been in good condition. Although some shots require several ng times to pass, Duke is very satisfied with his performance and the shooting progress is slightly faster than planned.

In the inherent impression of many people, those who star in large-scale commercial films have average acting skills, but in fact, Robert Downey Jr.’s acting skills are quite good, even if it’s not for Tony Stark, it’s like being tailored for him. After he wakes up, he can also cope with the role of his.

Even, in Duke's view, his acting skills may not be worse than some Oscars.

However, even Duke can’t deny the fact that starring in a superhero, especially a hot superhero, is very easy to be fixed. As a result, after leaving this role, the actor’s path narrows, and even starring in other movies becomes the box office. poison.

The former Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp are undoubtedly typical in this respect.

But this world is like this, there will always be gains and losses, and no one can take away all the benefits.

About an hour or so, Rachel McAdams, who had changed her makeup, returned to the villa. Duke briefly confessed to her and started filming the rival scene between her and Robert Downey Jr., the Canadian actress. Perhaps the acting skills are not as good as Robert Downey Jr., who occasionally makes some mistakes, but he is smart enough to always detect his mistakes in time and correct himself.

Any acting director likes smart actors, and Duke is no exception. The relatively outstanding performance of Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel McAdams can save the crew a lot of trouble.

The shooting was carried out in accordance with the pre-made plan and proceeded step by step. Duke has maintained a slightly ahead of the shooting plan. He planned a three-month shooting period for this film, leaving more time for post-production. , This film uses a lot of special effects scenes, even surpassing the movie "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", which uses the most special effects.

This is inseparable from the rapid development of special effects technology. Special effects that cost 20 million US dollars a few years ago can be done with more than 10 million US dollars or even less.

Take motion capture, for example. Around 2000, there were not many companies that were good at motion capture. Weta Studio was undoubtedly one of the best. Today Weta Studio still retains its leading position, but many companies have special effects capture. Technology has also made great progress. The use of special effects to capture and shoot those vivid monster characters has become a trend in Hollywood.

For those scenes that are still or with little motion, Robert Downey Jr. can be shot in a steel suit with props, but all battle scenes must be realized by motion capture in front of the green screen.

In the past, Robert Downey Jr. was a literary actor who was not good at this aspect.

In order to consider the effects of the shooting, Duke recruited Andy Serkis, who had worked with him, to teach Robert Tony Jr. some experience in this area after shooting.

Andy Serkins, who once appeared in Gollum, is generally recognized as the first person in Hollywood to capture motion pictures in real life.

After the release of "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", many people thought that the Oscar should award him the best supporting actor, but Andy Serkins did not even get a nomination. It is possible to award performance awards to animated composite characters.

However, in a fairly multimedia evaluation, just like the Lord of the Rings trilogy frequently ranked among the world’s top 100 classic movies, Andy Serkins’s Gollum created by motion capture and his phrase “my baby” are also A frequent guest on the list of various classic movie roles and classic lines.

Since the rented Malibu villa could not be used for too long, after shooting the indoor scenes, Duke did not return to Burbank’s completed studio, but continued to stay here to shoot Tony Stark’s daily life. The lens of life.

The motor roared, and a new silver Audi sports car drove from a distance. After a beautiful flick, it stopped in front of the villa. Robert Downey Jr. wore a dark casual suit with Tony Star. Ke’s iconic beard walked off the car. Although he was middle-aged, his gestures were full of the charm of a mature man, and it was hard not to attract eyeballs.

To a certain extent, Tony Stark is also a vase character, his lethality to female audiences is even as good as Legolas.

"Good job, Downey!" Duke yelled through, walked to the front of the Audi sports car, and patted the hot front hood. "How about this sports car?"

"Excellent."

During the filming, Robert Downey Jr. also got acquainted with Duke. At this time, he joked, "Audi has sponsored so many cars for the crew. Let me drive this car home."

"of course can."

Before Robert Downey Jr. was happy, Duke added, "But we have to wait for the crew to finish filming."

Audi is one of the main sponsors of this movie. They have reached a strategic partnership with Marvel Pictures. They will have priority sponsorship rights for all future "Iron Man" movies.

Of course, this is also related to Duke. Even Batman, who has almost lost the possibility of turning over on the big screen, has gained a new life in Duke's hands. What about the already popular Iron Man?

Audi is not so much investing in Marvel Pictures as it is investing in Duke films. (To be continued...)
