Made in Hollywood
Chapter five hundred and sixty-six smart actors
Robert Downey Jr.'s miserable cave life lasted only a week. Duke reinstated him as a rich and handsome man. The crew left Hughes Airport and moved to Malibu's beach villa area to start filming Tony Stark's luxury. private life.
In the setting of the script, Tony Stark is not only a billionaire, with a net worth of nearly 10 billion US dollars, but also a person with an extremely high-profile life.
His purpose, to a certain extent, is to only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones.
If people like Peter Parker and Steve Rogers are just civilian heroes, then Tony Stark is a standard rich hero.
Of course, in addition to 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 rich. After confirming that there was no problem with the room serving as the background, he nodded to the venue.
"The second scene, the seventeenth act," the recorder put the recorder in front of the camera, "start now."
Lily Aldridge from the Victoria's Secret Angels team stepped in front of the camera in the luxuriously furnished seaside villa.
"Tony, Tony..."
Like waking up in the morning looking for the wife of her vanished husband, Lily Aldridge, wearing a loose men's shirt, walked around the huge living room of the villa, but couldn't find her target, so she couldn't help but wonder. looked up.
She first admired the layout of the room, and then walked to a closed door. She was probably used to walking on the runway. During the whole process, she naturally showed a beautiful figure according to Duke's prior requirements. , try to play the role of a vase.
Lily Aldridge went to the door. When I saw a button, I couldn't help pressing it curiously, and a synthetic mechanical voice immediately remembered, "You have no right to enter! You have no right to enter!"
In the film, this is Jarvis' voice, but it hangs there. It was actually a tape recorder, and it was the play button that Lily Aldridge pressed.
Duke gestured to the camera crew, and the main camera lens, controlled by John Schwartzman himself, immediately moved away from Lily Aldridge and moved to the very center of the villa's living room, where the film's The heroine, Rachel McAdams, was already standing there in a black business suit.
"This is Jarvis. He's the housekeeper here." Rachel McAdams raised the clothes in her hand, gestured to Lily Aldridge, and said, "This is your clothes, dry cleaned and ironed. "
She pointed to the outside of the villa again. "The special car is waiting outside, ready to be dispatched at any time, and you can go anywhere you want."
Lily Aldridge turned around and walked over, "You are the famous Pepper Waves, right?"
"That's right." Rachel McAdams nodded lightly.
"I didn't expect so many years." Lily Aldridge's tone was clearly sarcastic. "Tony also made you do the dry cleaning and fetching."
"I'll do whatever Mr. Stark asks me to do."
Probably infected by Lily Aldridge. Rachel McAdams also used a sarcastic tone, "Including sweeping him out of the house with the rest of the garbage, is there any problem?"
"Cut!" Duke shouted at this moment, and said. "Rachel, your question."
Rachel McAdams is quite savvy. As soon as Duke called to stop, he immediately realized what the problem was, and immediately said, "Is my tone too sarcastic? Pepper Wave is a quiet and mature person. 's female assistant, even if it is ironic, it should be said in a more stable tone."
"That's it." Duke made a gesture to the surroundings to get the departments to prepare, and said, "Do it again in five minutes."
However, the second filming still failed. The problem was Lily Aldridge. After all, she is not a professional actress, so she can't always maintain the same state as before. ,
Duke was not in a hurry, and after a few patient shots, he finally announced his approval.
Then Rachel McAdams went back to the make-up trailer to get dressed up and Duke started shooting some Tony Stark solo shots to show off his tech nerdy side, everyone with their own hobbies, like Tony Stark. 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 fix, such as making steel battle suits.
Robert Tony Jr. has been in good shape. Although some shots required NG several times to pass, Duke was very satisfied with his performance, and the shooting progress was slightly faster than planned.
In the inherent impression of many people, those who appear in big commercial films have average acting skills, but in fact, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are quite good, even if it is not Tony Stark's acting skills are tailor-made for him. role, he can handle it with ease after he wakes up.
Even, in Duke's view, his acting skills may not be worse than some Oscar winners.
However, even Duke can't deny the fact that acting as a superhero, especially a popular superhero, can easily be fixed. After leaving this role, the actor's role narrows, and even starring in other movies becomes a box office. poison.
The former Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp are undoubtedly typical in this regard.
But the world is like this, there will always be gains and losses, where can one person take all the benefits.
About an hour later, Rachel McAdams returned to the villa after changing her make-up. Duke briefly explained a few words to her and began to film her opposite scene with Robert Downey Jr., an actress from Canada. Maybe his acting skills are not as good as Robert Downey Jr. He occasionally makes some mistakes, but he is smart enough to always find his mistakes in time and correct them.
Any director likes smart actors, and Duke is no exception. The relatively good performances of Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel McAdams can save the crew a lot of trouble.
The filming proceeded step by step according to the pre-established plan. Duke has maintained a speed slightly ahead of the shooting plan. He planned a filming period of up to three months for the film, leaving more time for post-production. , This film uses a lot of special effects scenes, even more than the movie "The 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 a few years ago can now be done for more than $10 million 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 the leader among them. Today, Weta Studio still retains its leading position. Technology has also made great progress, and the use of special effects to capture and shoot those vivid monster characters has become a trend in Hollywood.
For scenes with stillness or little action, Robert Tony Jr. can be filmed wearing a prop steel suit, but all battle scenes must be captured by motion capture in front of the green screen.
In the past, Robert Downey Jr. was a literary actor, and he was not good at this.
In order to consider the effect of the shooting, Duke recruited Andy Serkis, who had worked with him, to teach Robert Tunney Jr. some experience in this area.
Andy Serkis, who once starred in Gollum, although the live-action performance is average, is recognized as the first person in Hollywood motion capture.
After the release of "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" that year, many people thought that the Oscar should award him the Golden Man for Best Supporting Actor, but Andy Serkis didn't even get a nomination, and the Academy did not. A performance award may be awarded to an animated composite character.
However, in a considerable multimedia evaluation, just like the Lord of the Rings trilogy is frequently selected into the world's top 100 classic movie rankings, Andy Serkis's Gollum created by motion capture and his phrase 'my baby' are also A regular on the list of various movie classic characters 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 the studio that had been built in Burbank, but continued to stay here to shoot Tony Stark's daily life. Shots of life.
The roar of the motor sounded, and a silver latest Audi sports car drove from a distance. After a beautiful flick, it stopped in front of the villa. Robert Downey Jr. was wearing a dark casual suit and Tony Stark. With his iconic beard, he walked out of the car. Although he is middle-aged, his gestures are full of the charm of a mature man, and it is difficult not to attract people's attention.
To a certain extent, Tony Stark is also a vase character, and his lethality to female audiences is no less than that of Legolas.
"Good job, Donnie!" Duke shouted after passing, walked over to the Audi sports car, and patted the still hot front hood, "How's the sports car?"
"Excellent."
During 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 one home."
"sure."
Before Robert Downey Jr. was happy, Duke added, "But we have to wait until the filming is complete."
Audi is one of the main sponsoring advertisers for this film. They have reached a strategic partnership with Marvel Studios, and they have priority sponsorship rights for car advertisements for all subsequent "Iron Man" movies.
Of course, this is also related to Duke. Even characters like Batman who almost lost the possibility of turning over on the big screen have gained a new life in Duke's hands, not to mention the already extremely popular Iron Man?
Rather than saying Audi is investing in Marvel Studios, they are investing in Duke movies. (To be continued ~^~)
