"Okay, then our audition is over."

"Before seven o'clock in the evening, those who pass will receive an email notification, and I will also send you the script at the same time."

after an hour.

Shao Yang finished the audition for "Iron Man 1", and the process was not that complicated. Shao Yang just found a few lines in the script, set up a good situation for them, and let them act it out.

Among them, Downey's performance still made Shaoyang very satisfied, which also shows that Downey has been seriously studying this role during this period of time.

……

In different office buildings on the same street.

In the conference room of Fast Gunner Films, a 'mobilization meeting' before filming is also being held.

This new company, which was merged by Star Spiral Films and Wren Brothers, has been reborn after the formal merger. Not only has it raised a sum of money, but the company is also much larger than before.

"If you have no questions, then our movie will be launched on the 10th. This "Ghost Rider" will be the first movie of our Fast Gunner Film Industry. Please prepare in advance in these few days."

"no problem."

A blond young man walked into the conference room at this time, he walked up to Chairman Ryan, bowed his head and whispered: "Sir, Shao has come to the United States."

Ryan looked up at him and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, someone took his picture at the airport."

"Okay, I see." Ryan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said to everyone in the conference room: "I just got the news that Huaxia's Shao has come to Los Angeles."

"Shao?"

"Shao, who won the World Singer Contest?"

"Yes, it's him."

Ryan said: "Some of you may not know that Shao quietly established a film company in Los Angeles during the World Singer Contest. I heard that he came to our site this time to make a film in our country. "

After saying this, everyone in the meeting room started talking.

They all know Shaoyang. After all, Shaoyang not only has made great achievements in music, but also has good achievements in movies, especially "Country Teacher" last October, which has a very good reputation in the United States.

"A Chinese man wants to make a movie in our country, you say, is he too courageous?"

"Sir, what type of movie is he going to make?"

"Sci-fi."

Director Jacob said: "Mr. Ryan, I think we'd better not underestimate him. I have seen his "The Wandering Earth" and "Country Teacher". No less than us."

"Jacob, are you afraid of him?"

"Of course not, I just think we shouldn't underestimate him."

Ryan laughed quickly: "I know what you mean, but if I name the protagonist of his movie, I don't think you will have such worries anymore."

"who is it?"

"Donnie."

"Donnie? Who's Donnie?"

The assistant director of the film raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that drug addict Donnie?"

"it's him."

"I remember, it's the one who can tap dance."

"Why would he choose such a small role as Downey as the leading role? With Shao's fame and financial resources, he should be able to find a better actor."

Ryan said with a smile: "That's because I have already let the word out, whoever cooperates with him, then don't even think about cooperating with us in the future."

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room nodded and said nothing.

Ryan said: "I mentioned Shao, just to let you know about it, but our real opponent is not them. We plan to invest [-] million dollars in this movie. Our goal should be United Artists, Universal Pictures These companies, rather than a Chinese film company dreaming of gaining a foothold in Hollywood, to be honest, I didn't take them seriously."

……

three days later.

On a wilderness in Los Angeles.

Shao Yang was wearing a sun visor, sitting in a temporary director's studio, holding a walkie-talkie and shouting: "Everyone take your place, let's start."

After the recording was done, the filming officially started.

The plot of "Iron Man 1" is relatively simple, and the main line is also very clear...

It is about Tony, who stretches out his hand to eat and opens his mouth from a small coat, is an amazing genius. He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 17, and became the new boss of the family business Stark Arms Company with impressive achievements. However, the test On the way to the new product, he was attacked by terrorists and kidnapped into an underground base.

With the help of Dr. Inson, Tony used crude equipment and raw materials to create a pair of steel armor in the underground base. During the fight with the terrorists, Dr. Inson unfortunately died in order to buy Tony time to escape. Tony also changed his idea of ​​saving the world by making arms, so he began to improve the steel armor, and the hero Iron Man came out at the historic moment.

The script actually looks average, and the key to this first Iron Man is the personal charm of the protagonist.

So Shaoyang will attach great importance to this aspect.

Inside an armored vehicle.

Holding a cocktail and wearing sunglasses, Tony sat elegantly in the car. He glanced at the armed men in the car and joked, "This atmosphere seems to be sending me to a military court. Really, what did I do?" ?It feels like you guys will stop the car and kill me, what's the matter, are you not allowed to talk? Hey, Forrest Gang (Chinese translation)"

An armed man finally couldn't bear it and said, "We can talk, sir."

"Okay, is that against me?"

"No, you scare them," said a female armed man.

"God, you're a girl. I really didn't see it. I thought I should apologize, but that's what I want. I want to treat you as a soldier first."

"..."

In the car, Tony started to read like a chatterbox.

Originally, the lines were not so complicated, and some of the lines were improvised by him, and Shao Yang didn't yell Ka.

An actor who can understand the director's words is certainly important, but what is valuable is the kind of actor who can not only understand the director's words, but also play the characters more deeply on this basis.

Obviously, the local film companies in the United States underestimated Downey.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Downey's own efforts. After getting the script, he has been reading and studying it repeatedly.

He has already memorized the lines by heart.

Shaoyang also gave him enough space to play.

A shell suddenly fell, and the people in the car were in a mess for an instant. It was almost a face-to-face effort, and all the armed personnel in the car were killed. Although Tony hid behind the stone, he was also killed by a bullet. The shells were vibrated.

"it is good."

"Crack."

Shao Yang took a look at the recorded video and shouted directly: "Okay, let's change the scene."

Seeing Brighton next to him was a little surprised, Shaoyang smiled and said, "Do you think the speed is too fast?"

Brighton nodded.

Shao Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are only two most important tasks for a director. One is to find a good crew, and the other is to find a group of good actors. If these two points are in place, the director basically does not need to It took a lot of thought.”

Brighton thought for a while, and became thoughtful.

"Iron Man 1" was filmed in an orderly manner exactly as Shao Yang expected.
