Just when Yi Feiyang was thinking about what Hollywood blockbuster to shoot, the auction for the right to dine together that he posted online was about to end.
At the same time, a typical Hollywood shootout action scene was being filmed in a certain Hollywood studio.
As the male protagonist is Michael Glass, who is known for his "hard-core acting skills". He plays a rich man who is kidnapped. After escaping, he discovers that he was imprisoned in a high-rise building.
At that time, there were pursuers above and enemies below. In order to survive, he had no choice but to open the window and jump with all his strength from the seven-story building.
"Camera ready!" the bearded director ordered, "Guys, this scene is very dangerous, so we have to do it all at once!" He turned back to the assistant and said, "Hey, have you found a stuntman?"
The black assistant said helplessly: "I'm sorry, director, the distance from the window to the ground is a full 14 to 5 meters. It's too high. Many people are not willing to do it!"
"What? The scene has already been filmed and now you say no one is willing to do it? Damn it!" The director has been filming day and night for the past few days. His beard is unshaven and his eyes are red, so he is getting more angry.
"I'm sorry, director! I've tried my best! Yes, I've really tried my best! Even though the price has been increased to three thousand US dollars, no one has done it yet."
The director pointed his finger at the black assistant and said, "Hey, man, I don't care so much, and I don't care what method you use. Anyway, I'll give you ten more minutes, and we'll start shooting right away. I'll definitely see someone jump from the window by then! Yes!"
Yes, otherwise, jump off yourself!"
The director's words were domineering and could not be rejected. The black assistant nodded helplessly. "Yes, director. I will try my best." I felt miserable inside, where could I find it? Could it be that I really wanted to jump? Alas.
, it’s not easy to be a director’s assistant!
"It's best this way. Don't let me kick you down when the time comes!" the bearded director said again before turning around and leaving.
Behind him, the miserable assistant scratched his head hard. He turned around suddenly and said to his subordinates on the crew: "The director has spoken, someone must do this scene! So, guys, show your courage,
Who is willing to come forward?"
"No one wants it, man, it's too dangerous!" said a black man.
"Yes, we can jump up to 10 meters high. This is the first time we have jumped so high."
"It's too dangerous. Who wants to do it?"
"Unless those niggas, or Asians who are short of money..."
"What did you say? Who did you call nigger?" The black man before was unhappy.
"I didn't mean you. Man, I meant generally..."
"Referring generally to you piece of shit! Believe it or not, I will shove your head into your ass!"
"Don't be so rough, mate!"
"I'm just being rude, okay?" The black man and the guy started pushing and shoving.
The assistant didn't expect that he hadn't gotten angry yet. There was already chaos here, and he shouted loudly: "Four thousand yuan! As long as you are willing to jump, I will take away the four thousand yuan!"
"Wow, four thousand?" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, but immediately dimmed again.
"Haha, man, four thousand is quite attractive, but it won't make us risk our lives." The person who spoke was called "Cripple Tom". He was an old actor. He used to perform motorcycle speeding in the circus and lost his legs.
After breaking it, he entered the film industry as a stunt double and performed some difficult actions. For such a difficult "jumping off a building", if possible, he would be the one to accept the task in the end.
"Then what do you want?" The assistant was annoyed. He knew that this cripple Tom liked to raise prices, but he couldn't find anyone now.
"What do you think? God, it's very hard to work in our industry...but four thousand yuan is a little less. If you can add a little more, then I think someone will stand up. Yes, there will definitely be someone,
Then you will be less troubled, won't you?" Cripple Tom thought perfectly. He would wait until the assistant offered five thousand or even six thousand before taking the job.
"Impossible, the price of four thousand for such a lens is already very high, the worst is to use computer special effects!" the assistant said loudly.
"Use computer special effects? Ha, if it is really possible, the director will not be so strict with you! In short, the money is too little, no one is willing to do this job, don't you think so, guys?!" Crippled Tom yelled
road.
"Yeah, the money is too little and no one is willing to do it!"
"Damn it, I have to pay more!"
“Just add some more!”
…
"Shit!" the black assistant ignored Cripple Tom's shouting and shouted, "I don't believe it, there isn't a warrior here?!"
It was very quiet, no one spoke.
Cripple Tom folded his arms proudly, waiting to see the joke.
But at this moment, an arm was raised, and a listless voice asked: "Four thousand dollars, right? I'll do it!"
Who is so bold and dares to ruin my good deeds? Cripple Tom glanced over and saw a man sitting in a corner, unshaven and listless, holding a wine bottle in his hand, smelling of alcohol. Ha, this is not that.
What the hell is Robert Downey Jr., a has-been star?!
There is no doubt that the sloppy drunkard in front of him is Robert Downey Jr., the famous bad boy in Hollywood and the prodigal son of the entertainment industry.
As a child born into an acting family, Robert Downey Jr. has been surrounded by halo since he was born. His father is a director and an actor, his mother is a singer and a producer, and he also has an older sister who is also an insider. As for him, he has been growing up since he was a child.
I just acted in my father's movie, but he said he had "high qualifications".
But unfortunately, being born in such a family is not necessarily a good thing. For example, almost all their family members are "addicts." In such an environment, Downey Jr. inevitably got involved with drugs, and this also ruined his life.
Since 1996, he and his wife have officially separated due to his personal drug problem being brought to light because he started taking strong drugs. He was driving at speed while under the influence of drugs because of possession of drugs.
He broke into houses and illegally carried firearms. He was arrested many times and appeared in court for trial. He was forced to reprimand and sentenced to probation by the court. However, due to multiple violations of probation and bail regulations (that is, multiple evasion of drug and urine tests), he was eventually imprisoned twice and served a total of 16 years.
Month: Not long after he was released from prison, he finally found a role in a TV show. However, he was arrested and ordered to detoxify because of his old behavior. As for the role, of course he lost it.
Today, Downey is just a pile of mud that cannot be lifted up. He is divorced from his wife, has a 9-year-old son Yin Dio, and needs to pay alimony, so he has to look for a job everywhere. But because of his notorious "brilliant"
"History". Many movie companies rejected him, and even TV shows refused to let him play roles.
Originally, he could have asked a wealthy family for help, but with his arrogant personality, he was never willing to bow his head. For this reason, he would rather be introduced to the crew as a handyman by his friends.
Downey was already disheartened about his life. For him, a guy like himself who had experienced glory and now had nothing left had nothing to fear.
Seeing that "drunk" Donnie stood up, the assistant still hesitated. After all, he was not sure whether this drunk guy could do it.
"Of course what I said counts! But Downey, I know you are brave, but this action scene is very difficult. Do you want to think about it again?" The assistant looked at the drunk Downey, thinking that he might be drunk.
Talking nonsense.
"What are you considering? God, while I still have the courage, come on, guys, let me jump off the damn seventh floor!" Downey staggered to the window and looked down, "Oh.
Damn it! It’s really tall!”
"Haha, why are you afraid? If you are afraid, go away. Yes, you are just a drunkard and a pile of mud! You have no right to speak here!" Cripple Tom doesn't want to be messed up by this trashy has-been star.
plan.
"Haha, buddy, if you don't do it, I will, what's wrong with that? Otherwise, for four thousand dollars, you can dance... Let's all applaud and encourage you!" Downey shrugged, looking joking.
"Damn it, what did you say!" Cripple Tom was choked by Donnie's words.
"Okay, there's no time, Donnie, since you're so brave, then you go ahead! But be careful!" The assistant can't do that much anymore, he's a dead horse, and the director is urging him.
If he couldn't find anyone here, he might just jump off the seventh floor.
…
The crew members stood at the window, took out instruments, tested the wind direction and speed, and then said to the director below: "OK, the wind speed and direction are normal, and we can start filming!"
The life-saving air mattress below has been prepared, and the camera is in place. It’s time to jump.
"Everything is ready for me. God, do you want to make sure you know it all over again? Well, the ambulance crew is ready. As soon as the person jumps, you will rescue him immediately. You must do your best to ensure the personal safety of the stuntman!" the director shouted with a loudspeaker.
road.
"Where is Peter?" the director turned around and asked.
"Come on, I'm here!" the black assistant responded hurriedly.
"Are the stuntmen ready?"
"alright!"
"The filming is going to start soon. Let him put on makeup and costume. Don't show any flaws, otherwise the filming will be in vain!"
"I understand, I have already told him to be ready to put on makeup!"
The director nodded, then turned to the photographer and said: "Remember, when the shooting starts, you first take a close-up of Douglas's face, and then start shooting the side of the stand-in. At the moment of the jump, zoom out and zoom out to capture the entire scene.
I took down all the shots of jumping off the building, and at the moment of landing, I changed the actors again, and I have to do another close-up of Douglas, do you understand?"
Soon, everything is ready.
At the window on the seventh floor, Downey changed his costume, carrying a bottle of wine, and looked at the busy people below, "Damn it! It's a bit too high!"
"Hey, Downey, how about you, can you be my stand-in?" Douglas, the big star, came over at some unknown time and patted Downey on the shoulder and asked.
Downey and Douglas knew each other, or Douglas had a close relationship with Downey's family. But Downey was not willing to see him in a place like this because he was too embarrassed and felt too inferior.
"Hey, man, you got the wrong person. I'm not Downey!" Downey turned away.
Douglas shrugged, "I understand, Donnie, yes, I understand how you feel, but when you fall, you have to get up. You can't give up on yourself like this!"
"I told you, man, you got the wrong person!"
"Okay. Even so! But I still have to say one thing. Your father said it. You haven't attended a family gathering for two years. No matter how you are now, you will always be a member of the Downey family and his.
Son!" After Douglas said this, he stopped talking.
Here, the corners of Donnie's mouth twitched slightly and he remained silent.
The filming of this scene started, downstairs. The director was sitting in a chair, staring at the tall building. Gunshots were heard, Douglas's head popped out of the window, and several kidnappers began to fight with Douglas at the window.
The action scenes in Hollywood are really not interesting, they are just a few punches, and then, the protagonist Douglas is forced to the edge of the window, with the ground about fourteen meters high below. The camera is close-up, Douglas grits his teeth and seems to be making a decision.
"Okay! Get the substitute quickly!" the director ordered.
Downey, who was wearing makeup and a costume, chose his position. He was far away and the director couldn't see Downey's face clearly, but this was the effect he wanted.
"Ready...Aikes!" the director gestured.
The camera first takes a close-up of Douglas who is about to jump off the building, as if to tell people that it is him who is about to jump off the building.
When the camera switched, Downey, who was wearing the same costume as Douglas, stood by the window and took a deep breath. No, he was still too nervous, especially at such a height...
"Man, can you give me a cigarette?" Downey said to the guy next to him who was chewing a cigarette.
The man handed him the cigarette, and Downey took a deep puff, handed it back, and then said: "If it's marijuana, that would be better!" After that, he shouted: "God, I'm coming!"
"Downey stepped forward without hesitation and jumped off the "tall building"!
At that moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated, not even daring to take a breath.
In the camera, Downey was seen falling straight to the ground like a projectile.
There was a loud bang and it landed on the air mattress accurately.
One second, two seconds...
The director waved his hand fiercely and shouted: "Hey, hurry up and save people!"
Immediately, the waiting rescuers quickly ran towards the air mattress and began to rescue.
Downey lay face up on the air mattress, motionless, his head was groggy, and his eyes were staring straight at the sky.
"Am I dead?"
"Where am I?"
"It turns out I'm still afraid of death!"
"What if I die, poor little Indio?"
Downey's mind was filled with chaos. His desire to survive suddenly rose.
"How are you? Are you still breathing?"
"It looks like it's nothing serious!"
"The heartbeat starts to stabilize!"
"Thank God, nothing happened!"
…
"Hey, Downey, wake up, can you hear me?" The assistant waved his hand in front of Downey.
Downey rolled his eyes, looked at the assistant tiredly, and then said, "Yes, I heard you clearly."
"Then do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, man! I feel great! Can you believe it, I just saw God..." There was a hint of self-deprecation on Downey's lips.
"God? What did he say to you?"
"He said, let me live!"
…
It was getting dark, and Downey dragged his exhausted body and left the crew with four thousand dollars. Touching his pocket, Downey felt very ridiculous. His former self, let alone the four thousand dollars, even if it was four hundred thousand, four
Even if it costs millions, he would not look down upon it, but now, the damn alimony, the damn bail, the damn living allowance, the building payment, the water and electricity bills, the gas bill...all the mess has made him completely bankrupt!
From living in a life of luxury and living every night, to being penniless now, all my fair-weather friends have dispersed, leaving me alone.
Yes, he was very lonely, even far away from that damn family, that magnificent palace in his mind.
To be honest, Downey's family is very rich, but in Downey's view, those things are not his. The only thing Downey is attached to that magnificent place is the warmth of his family, although that warmth is very strange, for example, dear
When he was eight years old, his father actually handed him a joint and told him, "All men love this stuff!"
As for his dear mother, on his sixteenth birthday, she actually gave him a striptease ticket and told him, "I know, even if I don't give you this thing, you will go to see it sooner or later!"
And my dear sister, for the first time in her life, the thing she was asked to buy turned out to be...a little raincoat! At that time, she was fooling around with her boyfriend, that street bastard that her father couldn't even look down on...
God, what kind of family is this?
Sometimes Downey couldn't help but ask himself this.
He felt that he was already great, being able to grow up in such a weird family. Of course, he also got into some bad habits, such as gambling, bad sex, and... drugs that pushed him to the point of despair.
Of course, Downey is not hopeless. He has also thought about cheering up. Especially during the most glorious period of his acting career, he shot several good movies in one go, pocketed a lot of money from the films, and owned a car and a car.
Room, accompanied by beautiful women... Then Downey met a nice woman, she was a model, with a hot body and sweet appearance. Downey felt that he fell in love with her, no, he should have been shot by Cupid's arrow.
heart.
After only 42 days of dating, Downey married this hot bitch who was a model, actress, and singer. Then a year later, he was lucky enough to receive his first Oscar nomination, and his son Indio was born in the same year.
For a moment, Downey felt that he was the luckiest and happiest man in the world. He began to work hard to get rid of alcoholism and drug abuse, and wanted to set a good example for his son. Of course, he would not be like himself.
Like an unscrupulous father, he teaches his son to smoke marijuana.
But Donnie forgot that sentence, behind good luck is shitty bad luck!
That’s right, that’s some shitty bad luck!
Due to bad luck, Downey lost the Oscar nomination in the Oscar nomination. Then he cursed a director during the filming and lost his role. Then he drank and drove and his driver's license was revoked. What was even more serious was that he was caught taking drugs again and was directly jailed.
Entered a drug rehab center...
In short, a series of unlucky events made Donnie almost collapse. He felt that everything was God playing tricks on him. Yes, has anyone seen such an unlucky guy?!
After Downey came out of the drug rehabilitation center, all the valuable things in his home were wiped out. His dear wife only left him one thing, his precious son Yin Dio.
Thank God, at least, he is really my baby!
Donnie said to himself.
His son Yin Di'ao is nine years old this year. He is well-behaved and has a musical talent. Originally, Downey's childhood dream was not to be an actor, but to be a singer. Unfortunately, this dream was not fulfilled. Now it may be possible for his son to realize it. In fact, Downey's dream is not to be an actor, but to be a singer. Nick loves music. He likes playing the guitar and composing songs. He likes to hold the guitar alone in the quiet of the night and sing out his complaints and sadness. This is the only way he can vent himself. He believes that , if it weren’t for music, I would have gone crazy.
He touched the four thousand dollars in his pocket again. Damn it, at least he could buy a bottle of good whiskey and then have a big meal with Indio. This is how the money should be spent. There is no need to be stingy.
Just as Donnie was in reverie, three shadows suddenly flashed in front of him.
Downey knows that trouble is coming. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
