When Downey Wears a Tin Can [Comprehensive British and American]

"Donnie, get ready, the filming is about to start—"

"Donnie?"

After being called by the director's name twice in a row, Robert Downey Jr. came back to his senses. He shook his head, which had been in severe pain since this morning, and walked from the corner of the set to the center of the camera.

"Feel sorry."

He returned to his seat, took a last look at the script, and the actor Mark Ruffalo sitting across from him asked with concern: "Are you okay, you don't look well."

Downey touched his face subconsciously: "Is my complexion not good? Maybe a little hypoglycemia, it's not a big problem, it's not important." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand in the director's direction.

The recorder is ready to hit the board.

This is a relatively important scene in the Avengers. It is a conversation between two high-intelligence scientists, Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, in order to reveal the unknown secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Because there are a lot of professional terms in this scene, Mark has NG 4 times, which makes him a little embarrassed, especially when Downey can recite those lines neatly every time, and he will not show any signs of NG because of his NG. Even the slightest bit of impatience.

From the time he worked with Downey on Zodiac, he knew that this guy was considerate, especially when he was filming.

Mark sat in his seat and rolled up his cuffs: "Come on, I promise I will pass this time."

Downey smiled: "What if you can't pass?" He thought of Mark's joke in front of the media that NG plucked one beard at a time, "You just shave your beard?"

Mark: "No problem, I'll shave my chest hair along with it."

Downey: "...I bet no one would like to watch that scene."

Mark laughed, and the director adjusted the three camera positions at this time, and shouted to start shooting.

Field record board.

Mark quickly entered the state, pointing at random on the prop screen with no picture in front of him: "The gamma readings are consistent with Silvig's report on the Rubik's Cube. The four-dimensional space is mentioned in the general theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity. The concept is different from the space formed vertically by two N minus one latitude objects, we can regard it as a simple addition of three-dimensional space and time axis—"

When Mark said this, Downey suddenly felt a sharp pain between his brows, and then——

He found that suddenly there was a lot of complicated and messy information in his mind, and a few Oxford and Harvard degrees might not be able to understand the information.

He swears that he has never studied space-like hypotheses, whether Einstein's Rosenbridge Theorem or general and special relativity, but at this moment, he caught a loophole in Mark's words.

This is a fallacy.

Before Downey could react, his body had already opened his mouth involuntarily: "We cannot define four-dimensional space as the addition of three-dimensional space and the time axis. This is a misunderstanding of Minkowski's concept of space."

Apparently it wasn't scripted stuff.

Mark Ruffalo: "????"

Downey: "Time is only a concept that appears due to the expansion of the universe due to the movement of particles. Why can it be the basis for defining the fourth-dimensional space? There is a difference between the concept of time-space and four-dimensional space. You can try to use the positive and negative values ​​of the inner product of four-dimensional vectors number to distinguish."

Mark Ruffalo: "?????" What the hell is he talking about?

Downey reacted after he finished speaking.

Donnie: "?????" What the hell am I talking about?

He looked back at Mark.

Mark was also looking at him, with a shocked expression, as if he was a little bit wronged, as if he was complaining silently: "Didn't you just say that no one wants to see the picture of me shaving my chest hair?"

Downey wanted to say sorry, but the director didn't shout.

So the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue acting.

After a brief silence, Downey: "...We may try to bypass the main system of S.H.I.E.L.D. and hack into their sub-system group to get what we want."

Mark Ruffalo: "...Yeah, I guess that's fine."

Downey: "Then use a power source with a high density of energy to stabilize quantum tunneling."

Mark Ruffalo: "When did you become a thermonuclear astrophysicist?"

After the dialogue was pulled back to the script, the subsequent performance went much smoother until the end of this scene.

Director: "Card!"

Director Joss Whedon strokes his super-high hairline and repeats the clip from the camera twice.

Joss Whedon was obviously surprised by the sudden addition of an extremely academic dialogue. He didn't say much, but reached out and applauded Downey.

Everyone knows that Robert Downey Jr.'s favorite is improvisation. He said to Zach Penn next to him, "Add this part to the script later." Then he continued, "Get ready, next time."

The set was busy again, and Downey finally had time to say to Mark next to him: "I'm sorry."

Mark waved his hand. Given the friendship between the two, he obviously didn't care much about this, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Have you studied this before? General and special relativity? Minkowski's concept of space?"

Downey wanted to say he didn't.

But he couldn't explain the things that popped into his head.

So he can only: "...a little bit."

Mark wanted to say something, but the staff interrupted them at this moment: "It's time to change your clothes, gentlemen."

So this short conversation ended here, and the two were taken to their dressing rooms.Because of the venue problem, the script was disrupted in the early stage, and the staff had to change into Downey's Iron Man armor before the next scene.

Robert Downey Jr. didn't speak again until the staff put on the mask on the steel helmet, the surrounding light suddenly turned black, and there were only two gaps left by the mask's eyes.

He is thinking about a problem.

In fact, he has had headache symptoms since last month. He went to see a doctor, and took time to have a full-body examination in order not to affect the progress of filming, but the result was that all his statistics were very good. I prescribed some headache medicine, and after taking it, the symptoms did ease a little. Afterwards, this incident was over because of the shooting of the Avengers.

But this week, the headache symptoms became more frequent.

Just now, he "stuffed" a lot of "knowledge" things that he didn't understand at all, some of which were closer to reality, such as the four-dimensional space hypothesis just now, but some were just Very sci-fi, like now.

He stayed in the armor with a cramped space, and he couldn't help thinking about how to install some connection lines and energy programs inside the armor, using airflow as a support point, and using compressed energy as fuel—even though he didn't even know what compressed energy was— —Then use the mimic small-scale vortex jet device as the main launch procedure.

In this way, when the filming starts, he might not even need to hang up Wia, and he can directly go to the sky with his hands and feet spraying fire.

Downey: "..."

Let's go for a full-body checkup after the filming is over.

He can only comfort himself like this.

In order not to think about these messy things anymore, he leaned on the sofa in the dressing room and started to empty his mind.

Robert Downey Jr. doesn't know how he fell asleep while waiting to start filming, he just does.

A voice woke him up.

"Sir."

"Sir?"
