"Okay, then our audition ends here."

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

An hour later.

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

Shao Yang was very satisfied with Downey's performance, which also shows that Downey was seriously studying this role during this period.

…

In different office buildings on the same street.

In the conference room of Kuaishou Pictures, a 'mobilization meeting' before filming was also being held.

This new company, which was formed by the merger of Xingluo Pictures and Lane Brothers, has been completely transformed after the official merger. Not only did it raise a sum of funds, but the company's scale is also much larger than before.

"If everyone has no questions, then our movie is scheduled to start shooting on the 10th. This "Ghost Rider" will be the first movie of our Quickshooter Pictures. Please prepare in advance in the past few days."

"no problem."

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

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

"I'm sure someone took a picture of him at the airport."

"Okay, I understand." Ryan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said to everyone in the conference room: "I just got the news that Shao from China has arrived in Los Angeles."

"Shao?"

"Shao who won the World Singing Competition?"

"Yes, that's him."

Ryan said: "Some of you may not know that when Shao was competing in the World Singing Competition, he quietly established a film company in Los Angeles. I heard that he came to our territory this time just to make a movie in our country.

"

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

They all know Shaoyang. After all, in addition to his great achievements in music, Shaoyang also has good results in movies, especially "Country Teacher" last October, which has a very good reputation in the United States.

"A Chinese wants to make a movie in our country. Do you think he is too brave?"

"Sir, what kind of movie does he want to make?"

"Science fiction."

Director Jacob said: "Mr. Lane, I think we'd better not underestimate him. I have watched his "The Wandering Earth" and "Country Teacher". These two movies are outstanding in terms of plot and post-production technology.

No one is inferior to us."

"Jacob, are you afraid of him?"

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

Ryan quickly laughed and said: "I know what you mean, but if I tell him about the protagonist of this movie, I think you will no longer have such worries."

"Who is it?"

"Donnie."

"Donny? Who is Donny?"

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

"That's him."

"I remembered, that's the guy who can tap dance."

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

Ryan smiled and said: "That's because I have already made it known that anyone who cooperates with him will not want to cooperate with us in the future."

After hearing this, everyone in the conference room nodded and said nothing more.

Ryan said: "I mentioned Shao, just to let you know this, but our real opponent is not them. We plan to invest 100 million US dollars in this movie. Our target should be United Artists and Universal Pictures."

These companies, rather than a Chinese film company dreaming of establishing a foothold in Hollywood, to be honest, I don’t take them seriously.”

…

Three days later.

In a wilderness in Los Angeles.

Shao Yang was wearing a sun hat, sitting in a temporary director's studio, holding a walkie-talkie and shouting: "Everyone is on your place, let's begin."

After the script was written by the scriptwriter, the filming of the movie officially started.

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

It tells the story of Tony, who has grown from his clothes to his food and opened his mouth. He is an amazing genius. He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT at the age of 17 and became the new boss of the family business Stark Arms Company with impressive results. However, the test

On the way to create new products, he was attacked by terrorists and kidnapped to an underground base.

With the help of Dr. Inson, Tony used rough equipment and raw materials to build a pair of steel armor in the underground base. During the fight with the terrorists, Dr. Inson died in order to buy Tony time to escape.

Tony also changed his mind about making arms to save the world. Therefore, he began to improve the steel armor, and the hero Iron Man came into being.

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

So Shaoyang will attach great importance to this aspect.

Inside the armored vehicle.

Tony, who was holding a cocktail and wearing sunglasses, sat elegantly in the car. He glanced at the armed men in the car and joked: "This atmosphere is like sending me to a military court. Really, what have I done?"

?It feels like you guys are going to stop the car and kill me. What's wrong? Are you not allowed to talk? Hey, Brother Forrest (Chinese translation)"

An armed man finally couldn't help but said: "We can talk, sir."

"Okay, so you have a problem with me?"

One of the female fighters said: "No, you make them afraid."

"God, you are a girl. I really didn't notice. I think I should apologize, but this is the effect I want. I want to treat you as a soldier first."

"..."

In the car, Tony started talking like a chatterbox.

Originally, the lines were not that complicated. Some of the lines were improvised by him, and Shao Yang did not shout "Ka".

An actor who can understand the director's words is of course important, but what is valuable is an actor who can not only understand the director's words, but also be able to play the character more profoundly on this basis.

Obviously, 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 his lines by heart.

Shaoyang also gave him enough room to play.

A cannonball suddenly fell, and the people in the car immediately became confused. In almost a face-to-face moment, all the armed personnel in the car were killed. Although Tony was hiding behind the stone, he was also hit by a bullet.

The shells were blown away.

"good."

"Click."

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

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

Brighton nodded.

Shao Yang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "The director's most important tasks are only two. One is to find a good crew, and the other is to find a group of good actors. If these two points are combined, the director basically doesn't need to

It took a lot of thought.”

Braton thought for a while and became thoughtful.

"Iron Man 1" was shot in an orderly manner exactly as Shao Yang expected.
Chapter completed!
