Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

The reporters had their brains opened a little this time, and they generally didn't think that Tony would play himself in person.

Then, Tony himself didn't think about it.

"Why didn't I know about this?"

Gu Qing said innocently: "Didn't I just say that?"

Tony: "..."

That's interesting.

The two of them met now in the building where ET Films was housed, and had a little casual chat.This is mainly because they will hold a formal meeting later, and before that, Tony accidentally overheard what Gu Qing said when he was interviewed by reporters downstairs. After Gu Qing came to the office, he asked him who the "more suitable candidate" was, Gu Qing glanced at Tony with a half-smile and said, "It's you", and Tony laughed.

Gu Qing continued: "I can't think of anyone who is a more suitable candidate than you, even if letting you act in person will cause more unprofessional troubles than finding professional actors to act."

Tony choked immediately: "What do you mean by that?"

"Did you forget the experience when you guest starred in "LA Confidential"?" At that time, Tony played a cameo role in "LA Confidential" as a local tycoon of that era, and he had a very eye-catching performance, but Tony's camera sense was strong. However, the actor's walking problem is a professional trouble when he has not been in contact with the film industry.In other words, at that time, Tony’s so cool but short-lived cameo appearance took nearly a day just to satisfy the director, wasting a lot of film.

Tony quickly remembered this, and the dead duck stubbornly refused to admit it: "I think my acting is not bad. Jarvis said that I should win an award for best guest performance. That trophy is still in the basement of my house."

"Congratulations," Gu Qing sent his belated congratulations. After all, "LA Confidential" was released the year before last, and Tony himself couldn't think of the specific award, so no matter how you look at it, it seems that Gu Qing's congratulations are not quite right. distracted.Then, Gu Qing continued: "So I sincerely suggest that you enroll in a short-term film training class."

"Hey!" said it as if he had to act.

Tony's resistance was so superficial that Gu Qing couldn't ignore it all the time, so after Tony protested, he put his palms together in front of him, and his expression became serious.

Tony sat up straight involuntarily.

Gu Qing said this when he spoke again: "If you want to know, I found out not long ago that I do have two half-brothers and sisters. Well, do you want to know when I knew exactly, Tony?"

Tony didn't want to know at all! "Does that have anything to do with what we're talking about today?"

Gu Qing pretended to think for a while and said: "It really doesn't matter, I just echoed your sneaky change of concept just now, so let's talk about things related to the topic we are talking about today. Speaking of which, before I Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. came to me after I mentioned Iron Man at the premiere of The Matrix.”

Tony leaned back in the chair, just so paralyzed and asked, "Then?"

Gu Qing said in a serious manner: "He expressed strong distress for me and ET Films for choosing Iron Man as the protagonist in the first superhero movie that I chose to shoot, thinking that this is not conducive to shaping the tone of superheroes in the new century. And I hope from the bottom of my heart that I will change my mind and change the protagonist to Captain America Steven Rogers, for which S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to give political help.”

Tony rolled his eyes, "Congratulations, you told a freezing joke."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gu Qing just accepted Tony's taunts without any pain. In terms of the skill of "brazen", Gu Qing is still very proficient in practice, and usually just pretends to be very good.But when he said this, he also tacitly admitted that what he said just now was just serious nonsense, but nonsense based on facts.S.H.I.E.L.D. did send Coulson over to negotiate, but is it just the content of the negotiation? Just read Gu Qing’s above statement in reverse——S.H.I.E.L.D. is a secret agency, and suffers from death-by-light syndrome, okay?It is not willing to appear in film and television works, let alone contribute their current ace Captain America.

"Did they look for you too, Tony?"

Tony nodded, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "I don't think they have recognized the relationship between us, and they just dragged the previous things into it. I can't even count as a collaborator with SHIELD, just Not to mention the employment and employment relationship, they can't afford to hire me. Besides, I'm not like some old popsicle-oh, I don't mean your father Xavier I-who was fooled by Fury, I joined S.H.I.E.L.D. so that Uncle Sam can drink iced tea and eat hamburgers leisurely and continue to glow.”

Gu Qing automatically ignored Tony's nickname for the big capitalist Mr. Xavier, and asked curiously, "Have you met Mr. Rogers?"

"Is that how you do your reading comprehension, Dr. Xavier?" Tony pouted and couldn't help stabbing Gu Qing, then squinted at Gu Qing, "Don't tell me you're Captain America's fanboy?"

"I'll give you back what you just said, Tony." Gu Qing said slowly, "Why can't you take what I just said as a casual phrase? Or you can answer yes or no, no You need to diverge your thinking."

"Then you really know how to chat." Tony paused after finishing speaking, looking left and right, it seemed that the decoration of the office had arrived, Gu Qing was puzzled and waited for the second half of his sentence, so he maintained a posture of listening attentively, Tony also Unable to pretend anymore, he cleared his throat: "Then what, do you think the so-called 'big prophecy' can intelligently distinguish whether what I said is ironic?"

Gu Qing froze for a moment, then said slowly: "You asked a good question."

Then there is no more then.

In fact, there are, just like this time, a research project really needs to be set up to study this matter. God knows what uncontrollable events will come out of this great prophecy in the future.

However, for now, let's discuss the film project "Iron Man", which is the purpose of coming to the meeting today.

After the meeting, ET Films will issue a draft.

Isn't this the group of reporters who interviewed Gu Qing downstairs earlier?They were also thinking about launching a poll to let readers choose "the actor who is most suitable to play Tony Stark in your mind". As a result, the draft was sent out and the correct answer was announced directly. Can you respect others? The fruits of labor? !

Complaints are nothing but complaints, but the news release of ET Film Company is obviously more newsworthy and gimmick, so there will be a headline in the entertainment section tomorrow, and it depends on how to write it with new ideas and make it fancy.

It is "Crossover has always been popular and has never been surpassed: Eric Xavier crossed from actor to director, followed by Tony Stark from billionaire to actor"; or "You Director I starred in, both gay friends make money: On how to become a billionaire, the premise is that you have a good gay friend who is also a billionaire"; After opening a film company, it will now welcome a 'honeymoon baby', a film directed by Eric Xavier and starring Tony Stark in his true colors. …

Wait, isn't the set of headlines and subtitles above too serious?Big newspapers like the "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", and "Washington Post", no matter how unscrupulous they are, they will not use such a hot headline, okay?It's just that the reader automatically draws that conclusion.

In fact, largely not.

The title of The New York Times is just like this: "Eric Xavier's directorial debut, "Iron Man" starring Tony Stark", and after an objective evaluation in the text of the report, a little Some evasively shifted the topic to the current sluggish superhero movie market.

Faced with such an article with professional exposition, readers will not be able to think about it even if they want to think about it.

At this time, "EX Times" showed its superiority over other paper media. No matter who called it the mouthpiece of EX Industry, it was very close to get some insider and exclusive news.This time it is no exception. In addition to directly reprinting the draft issued by ET Films on "Iron Man" a little waywardly, it also conveyed the thoughts of its own boss, which can be summarized as follows: First of all, this is done after careful consideration Well, Tony confirmed that the role was agreed by Tony himself before the meeting) (subtext: what is the intention of doing this, I just said that I didn’t tell you, you can guess); secondly, this is a brand new I personally think that this form of movie project has more potential to be tapped (subtext: this will become a movie series, so after Iron Man, who will become the next favored superhero); Finally, there is still a lot of vitality in the development mode of superhero movies in the movie market (subtext: we must grasp both live-action superhero movies and comic superhero movies, and cooperation with Warner still needs to be discussed).

Such an inductive summary is still in place, but after adding subtext, why does it seem inappropriate?It must be the wrong way to interpret it!

When Leonardo was reading the newspaper, his face was wrinkled as if he had eaten a lemon raw, and he was still hesitating to sneak a glance at Gu Qing, when he poked his head out from under the erected newspaper again , looking at Gu Qing, who was looking calmly next to him, Gu Qing said: "Dear Leo, I think you can rest assured that I will not write the matter of you two comparing each other's brains into the script."

Gu Qing spoke suddenly, scaring Leonardo, and to be precise he stuttered: "Who, who cares about this!"

——What is the subtext of this?
