Heads Up Hollywood

September 18, afternoon.

The final shot of the live-action portion of "The Avengers," featuring Robert Downey Jr.

This shot was originally not in Tang En's plan.

That's Robert Downey Jr.'s suggestion.

He persuaded Twain to add this shot through a true story.

Now Robert Downey Jr. has quit drugs. (In fact, it is maintained with alternative drugs)

In fact, in April last year, he often participated in various "drug parties" and carnivals with various cronies.

That time, Robert Downey Jr. was driving his Maybach sports car with a lot of drugs in the trunk, and he was going to find friends to have fun.

When passing by a gas station, he was a little hungry, so he went to the convenience store of the gas station and bought a hamburger.

Coincidentally, a speech by Tang En was playing on the TV at the gas station.

At that time, because Tang En wanted to film "The Departed", he accumulated performance experience through practical inspections, and participated in an "anti-drug" operation. His brave and righteous performance was commended by the Los Angeles Police Department and awarded him the "Honorary Policeman" title.

"...If a person can freely control his body, not be controlled by desires, not be controlled by evil thoughts, insist on doing the right thing and walking the right path, this is the greatest success! I sincerely hope that Hollywood entertainers We can purify ourselves and become a pure and successful actor!"

"...Stars have great appeal and great influence. What they do will deeply affect some young people. I hope that Hollywood stars can restrain themselves and set an example , become a role model!"

On the TV, Tang En's speech stunned Robert Downey Jr. and greatly touched the value of his life.

Then, when he was eating a hamburger, he felt an unprecedented discomfort.

Want to vomit, but can't vomit.

Vomit in chest.

That pale feeling, Robert Downey Jr. knew, was the aftereffect of drug addiction.

The blow of two successive incidents made him finally strengthen his belief in drug rehabilitation.

Then, he drove the car to the beach and threw all the drugs into the sea.

From then on, be a new man!

Then, good luck came, he got Twain's approval, which gave him the opportunity to take over the filming of "Iron Man".

Both career and life have ushered in a turning point.

Of course, such a story cannot be completely copied into the movie.

A hint would be nice.

Tang En arranged a segment where Robert Downey Jr. went to a gas station to buy hamburgers, and then saw the news of "Spiderman" saving civilians on TV.

Robert Downey Jr. shrugged, and said to himself, "Where is Spider-Man? Wearing a mask is a superhero? Naive!"

Between words, full of disdain.

This also paved the way for the later Avengers alliance with "Iron Man" as the core, refusing to join "Spider-Man". It also left clues for the plot of "Spiderman" saving the "Iron Man" who fell from the sky in the final battle.

The rocker arm was raised high, giving a large panorama from mid-air. Robert Downey Jr. wore a pair of sunglasses and walked into the convenience store like a rich man.

There is no doubt that Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are the best among the superheroes of the Avengers.

There is no difficulty in performing such an extra play.

"no problem!"

Tang En followed Robert Downey Jr.'s performance through the monitor, watched the replay again, and confirmed that there was no problem with his performance. I also asked about the situation of other groups, and there was no problem.

Tang En heaved a long sigh of relief, with an excited smile on his face, stood up, and shouted loudly to the entire crew: "Now I announce that the live-action filming of "The Avengers" is officially over! Dude! Ladies, now, I will give you a year off, see you next summer!"

"Wow!"

The whole scene erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

The staff of each group also started to applaud, and a large part of them were hugging.

They all understand in their hearts.

Regardless of what Tang En said, we will see you next summer. However, next year's shooting plan is green screen shooting, so there is no need for such a huge crew.

More than 80% of the crew members bid farewell to the "Avengers" crew after completing the live-action shooting.

...

During the filming of "The Avengers", Twain was a little out of touch with Hollywood.

However, Hollywood has never lost his legend.

If the cooperation between the MPAA and the Korean Film Council is still at a higher level, then the standardized process of film and television special effects production he proposed is completely popular.

In particular, the new word "Previz" seems to be the hottest word in Hollywood right now.

In view of Tang En's outstanding contributions to film theory, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) specially extended an invitation to him: "Dear Mr. Dunn Walker, in view of your outstanding achievements in film art and theory, and your great Social influence, after the discussion of the school board and the school committee, the school decided to award you an honorary doctor of philosophy in media arts and practice!"

To be honest, in the past few years, Tang En has received no less than 20 honorary doctorate titles from various universities around the world. As for many honorary masters and honorary bachelors... Tang En would "modestly" refuse them politely.

Most of them are to catch Tang En's popularity.

As a private university, you always have to find a way to make ends meet.

UCLA is different, the title of honorary doctor is very precious!

There are two major film schools in Hollywood, one is USC and the other is UCLA, and the two are in competition with each other.

Previously, Tang En was awarded the title of honorary doctor of Southern California University because of the hot money theory.

As a competitor, of course, UCLA can't go to the stinky foot when USC has seized the opportunity.

Now, here's your chance!

Tang En's second great movie theory appeared again. After the "Burst Theory", his "Special Effects Theory" can also bring deafening feelings to Hollywood!

This time, UCLA will be one step ahead!

For Tang En, he will become the honorary doctor of the two highest schools of film, USC and UCLA, which is a great honor for a filmmaker.

For a businessman, it doesn't matter.

Even... It's a burden instead.

When Tang En received the honorary doctorate from USC, he donated 100 million US dollars to USC to build an IMAX teaching building.

This time to receive an honorary doctorate from UCLA, I had to donate a large sum of money.

After Tang En Capital completed the acquisition of Liverpool and bought three top players, there was only 50 million US dollars left. Another 15% stake in Tesla would cost another $30 million.

Only $20 million was left, far from enough.

However, this donation must be in the name of New Universal.

From an economic point of view, USC has large donations from George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and others, so it is very rich. Their students are up to date when it comes to film equipment.

Although UCLA is known as "the cradle of Hollywood masters", masters like Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese really don't have much money. Most of the equipment used by the students here is donated by 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Disney and other companies, and they are all decommissioned second-hand equipment.

Such conditions have also caused the students of UCLA to be aggrieved.

New Universal took the lead and donated huge sums of money.

At least you can leave a scent.

Back then, Tang En donated a huge amount of money to an IMAX teaching building at USC, and two years later, he has already seen the rewards. Although the college students have not yet graduated, there are a lot more high-achieving USC students who come to imax for internships than before.

In particular, many of them are students who specialize in imax technology. For their future career direction, it is very likely that they can only choose imax company.

This kind of long-term strategic planning is so important!

Talent is the core resource.

Tang En donated an imax teaching building at USC, of ​​course one cannot favor one over another. At UCLA, make a difference too!

He has already thought about it.

Just donate a "Dolby Teaching Building"!
