This 125-mile-long and 20-mile-wide island connecting Manhattan and the Atlantic Ocean is world-famous not only because it was the residence of early European princes and nobles, but more importantly, it was the residence of former U.S. President Roosevelt, the Kennedy family, and others.
The Morgan family, which started on Wall Street, and many Hollywood stars and other powerful people have settled here. Now it is a paradise of luxury homes representing the wealthy class of the United States.
A house located in the middle of the North Coast is very eye-catching in its surroundings. Not only does this huge house have a 36-hole golf course, but it can also drive a yacht directly on the huge swimming pool in the yard. There are flocks of animals on the grass in the middle of the yard.
Elk and zebra, and a few green peacocks walked nobly and gracefully in the courtyard, as beautiful as the girls sunbathing on the artificial beach by the swimming pool.
The roar of propellers was heard in the distance. A goose-yellow helicopter circled over the giant house for a while and then landed lightly on the apron behind the yard under the signal from the ground guard.
Yi Feiyang came by plane with his favorite actor Robert Downey Jr., and also flew from Los Angeles with Downey's baby son Yin Dior Jr.. The little guy said that he had never been in a helicopter before, so this time it must be very special.
Cool to try it out.
Of course Downey, who had always doted on his son, would not let him down, so he persuaded Yi Feiyang to bring his precious son over.
Yi Feiyang, Downey and his son got off the plane together. The little guy was inexplicably excited. Looking at the magnificent villa in front of him, he couldn't help but admire: "Oh God, I have never seen such a beautiful place. Look. What is that? A peacock."
?Can I go see them?"
"Of course. But don't run too far. If I can't find you later, it will be a disaster!" Danny said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll play around here!" The little guy said and ran towards the group of peacocks.
Those raised peacocks are not afraid of people, and they even coo when they see the little guy running towards them...
Here, Yi Feiyang and Tang Ni walked towards the swimming pool area in the villa under the leadership of the housekeeper.
As soon as Yi Feiyang walked to the edge of the swimming pool, a spooky scream reached his ears, and he was dazzled by a dozen girls in bikinis who came over. The dizzying waves of breasts and buttocks instantly dazzled everyone's eyes.
.
Among these beauties in bikinis, there is an old white man with a dry figure, wearing a checkered shirt on the upper body, large floral trousers on the lower body, wearing signature brown glasses, enjoying the crowd of young girls with a smile, although these skin colors
Different long-legged beauties were each a little taller than him, but this did not affect his "masculine" temperament at all. After he proudly put on a cool pose, there was a burst of adoring screams.
It sounded, which made the old man almost laugh his jaw off on the spot.
"Sir, your guests have arrived!" The white butler politely brought Yi Feiyang and Downey to the old man.
Needless to say, the somewhat bohemian old naughty boy in front of me is the legendary "comic tycoon" and "godfather of comics" - Star Lee!
Stan Lee glanced at Yi Feiyang and Downey, "Is that you? Do you want to discuss copyright matters with me?"
Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand politely and said: "Yes, it's us. My name is Yi Feiyang. I am the president of Fantasy Entertainment. This is my friend Mr. Downey!"
Stan Lee did not shake Yi Feiyang's hand, but said with a smile: "I've heard of you, the magical oriental boy, ha, you created the Hollywood myth, didn't you?"
"As for you..." Stan Lee glanced at Downey, "You look familiar!"
Downey was excited and just about to introduce himself, Stan Lee said: "Let's go get something to eat. I'm a little hungry after exercising with these beauties for so long!" He slapped a girl on her beautiful buttocks.
He waved his hand and asked them to leave.
"In that case, I'll excuse you." Yi Feiyang still acted calmly and calmly.
But Donnie felt that the boss was losing face. He didn't understand whether the old man really didn't know him or was pretending not to know. After all, he had been famous before, right?
Stan Lee took the lead and kept talking nonsense along the way, while Yi Feiyang and Downey catered to his needs.
But what Yi Feiyang is more interested in is the place where the old man lives. Looking around, the ground is covered with green and tender turf. Flowers of various colors are swaying among the lush bushes. Several statues are surrounded by fountains.
The cheerful water flow makes the whole courtyard look like a huge and beautiful park.
It's really the life of a rich person. It seems that as people get older, they know how to enjoy themselves more and more. I wonder if I will become such a hedonist in the future.
After a while, everyone bypassed the almost artificial lake-like swimming pool in the front yard and walked into the six-story mansion like a Roman palace. Under the warm guidance of the butler in a straight uniform, they entered a spacious restaurant.
Several servant-looking people were waiting inside.
"Okay, you don't need your service here anymore. You all can go down!" the old man said with authority. After the people dispersed, he took a bottle of red wine, poured a few glasses, and said: "Come on.
, let’s have some red wine to appetize!”
"Actually, we already had dinner before we came here." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"Have you had a meal? Oh, that's okay, you can have whatever you want to drink, and then we'll start talking about copyright!" The old man looked very straightforward.
After almost ten minutes, Stan Lee had eaten and drank enough, and then he wiped his mouth and said, "Let's get started. Are you going to adapt my "Iron Man"?"
Yi Feiyang: "Yes, that's the comic."
"Oh God, I just sold my dear son Spider-Man to Columbia, and now you come to buy my other son. It's really heartbreaking."
"We hope to put it on the big screen and let people all over the world know him, so you should not be heartbroken, but feel happy."
"Ha, China Yi, you are very good at talking. Then let's talk about your understanding of me as a comic character..." Stan Lee looked at Yi Feiyang with interest.
Yi Feiyang: "Know? I just think Iron Man is very interesting. He is unique among all your sons."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all."
"Oh God. You disappoint me so much. I thought you would find many reasons to convince me!" Stan Lee shook his head.
"No. I think if you are willing to let Iron Man go to the world, even if I don't say anything, you will leave him to us to adapt; on the contrary, if you don't have this kind of intention, then no matter how much I say,
It’s no use either!”
Yi Feiyang's decisive attitude made the old man Stan Lee stunned for a moment. Many times, people from those film companies would ask grandpa to sue grandma to buy the comic adaptation rights from him in a very respectful manner, but this guy in front of him
...It’s so stinky!
Seeing that he was at an impasse, Downey quickly smoothed things over and said, "Ahem, actually I know something about Iron Man. I know that the prototype of this character is the American tycoon Howard Hughes. Yes, that's him. You are basing your actions on his deeds.
Isn’t it the one who created this comic?”
"Okay, you can shut up!" Old man Stan Lee interrupted Downey rudely, "Looking at how much you talk, I suddenly remembered you. You are the libertine from Downey's family. You take drugs.
Are you a guy who smokes pot and likes to go around picking up girls and having sex? Well, I remember it well, you were more wild than your prodigal father, but I think he wasn't as cowardly as you back then!"
Robert Downey Jr.: "..."
This old man's words were too disrespectful.
"So you know my father." He said while holding back his anger.
"Yes, I know him, but I won't consider you for the role of Iron Man!"
"Why?"
"Why? Haha, although my Iron Man is also a playboy and a libertine, he is a hero, unlike you, who is just a bear!"
"Old man, you..." Stan Lee's words made Donnie almost burst into rage.
"What's going on, do you hate me and want to hit me? Then hit me, come on, don't be a coward like a bear!" Stan Lee looked at Downey with a provocative look.
Faced with such an unreasonable old guy, Yi Feiyang hurriedly stopped Downey and asked him to endure it for a while.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang had stopped Downey, Stan Lee shrugged, "Oh, I'm so boring. I thought you were going to beat me up, but it looks like there's no chance!"
"Okay, I won't play with you anymore. You can do whatever you want. I'll go out for a walk!" After the old man said that, he left with his chest out and his belly out.
Donnie: "Hey, I think this guy needs a beating!"
Yi Feiyang: "A little impatience will mess up a big plan!"
Donnie: "What now?"
Yi Feiyang: "Think about it again and see if we can remedy it..."
…
"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Little Indio was swimming in this palace-like garden and walked to the huge swimming pool. Those hot bikini beauties saw him and waved to him.
: "Hey, handsome guy, come over and apply some sun oil on me!" "Hey, come over and swim together!"
Little Yin Dior had never seen such lustful girls before. He was so frightened that he ran away immediately, and all the beauties in bikinis behind him burst into laughter.
"Shh, it's so scary!" Little Indio patted his chest, "But they are really hot! If dad were here, he would probably be unable to move his legs again!"
"But this place is quite nice!" Look around, there are green grass, white clouds in the sky, a sun umbrella not far away, tables and chairs under the umbrella, and refreshing drinks...
Seeing that there was no one around, Yin Dio simply sat down and took a sip of the drink, which was orange juice.
"It's so comfortable!" The little guy followed the example of an adult, stretched a bit, then took out a lollipop from his pocket, put it in his mouth, took out his own mini game console, and started playing with it.
.
I don’t know how long it took, but when little Indio was having a great time, he suddenly said, “Hey, little guy! Give me your game console to play with, and if you have any lollipops, hand them over too!”
The man standing in front of him said in a menacing tone like a robbery.
Yin Di'ao was stunned. He looked up and could hardly believe his eyes. The person posing as a gangster turned out to be a dry little old man wearing flowery pants and brown sunglasses!
His eyes were fixed on the mobile phone in Yin Di'o's hand, and his wrinkled old face showed an anxious look, as if he was going to grab it immediately if it failed.
Standing up carefully and taking two steps back, Yin Di'ao said: "Grandpa, my father just bought this for me yesterday. I haven't had enough fun myself."
"Let me play! Look at you. You sat in my seat and drank my juice. Yes, you need to make compensation, don't you? Then let me play your game console, haha, you
Look, how fair this is!" the old man said seriously.
"Is this your seat? Did I drink your juice?" Little Indio couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! Not only does this seat belong to me, but also the swimming pool in front, the big garden, and those beauties in bikinis are all mine!" the little old man said proudly, patting his thin chest.
"Then it seems you are rich!"
"Of course, I have too much money to spend!"
"Then why don't you buy your own game console?"
"This... brat, if I ask you for something, you either give it or you don't give it. Why are you so verbose?" The old man was unhappy.
"Then... I'll lend it to you to play with first!" Yin Di'ao pouted and handed over the handheld device dejectedly.
The old man cheered, snatched it up and started the game skillfully: "Are there any more candies? We are all men, so don't be so stingy!"
Yin Di'ao reluctantly took out the last lollipop from his pocket.
The old man happily peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely: "Yes. You are a good boy! Haha, by the way, what is your name?"
"Yin Dio, Yin Dio-Donnie! Where are you, Grandpa?" Yin Dio watched helplessly as the old man quickly pressed the keyboard and the little man on the screen was KOing his opponent with a twelve-hit combo.
The old man immediately beamed with joy, "So you are a child of Downey's family. It doesn't look like it. It really doesn't look like it. How could that libertine have such a cute child like you!"
"Ah, do you know my dad?"
"Of course, we met just now!" the old man said with a raised brow. "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, but listen carefully, I am the famous Stan Lee!"
The old man originally thought that after he introduced his name, the little guy would say "Ah" in surprise, but for a long time... there was no movement at all. The little guy still looked at him calmly, without any reaction.
Is this little kid unresponsive?
Or have you never heard of my name at all?
It’s impossible, there are people in the entire United States who don’t know my name?!
In Stan Lee's view, he is the ancestor of the American comic industry. Almost all American children know him, and naturally, the person in front of him should be no exception.
"Aren't you surprised?" The old man couldn't help it and asked.
Yin Di'ao scratched his head, "Why are you surprised?"
"I'm Stan Lee!"
"Who is Stan Lee?"
The old man was completely shattered.
After a moment, "Have you really never heard of my name?"
"No!" The little guy shook his head seriously.
"You've never read my comics?"
"I don't like comics!"
"..." Stan Lee looked at the little guy like a monster, "What are you talking about, you never read comics?"
"Yes, never!" the little guy said inexplicably, "Why read comics when there are cartoons to watch?"
The old man became angry again.
"You kid, how can you not read comics?"
"Why should I read comics?"
"Well... in short, it's wrong if you don't read comics!" The old man said forcefully.
The little guy pouted.
"Ha, you still play with my personality, okay then, I will let you know how great I am, yes, I will!" A strange idea suddenly came to the old man's heart.
…
When Yi Feiyang and Downey met Stan Lee again, the old man was holding little Indio's hand.
"Is this your son? He is very smart!" Stan Lee said.
"Just be a little naughty!" Donnie laughed.
"For boys, it's normal to be naughty. I was very naughty when I was a child!" Stan Lee said, "Okay, give this little guy back to you... It's a big place here, don't let him run around anymore, I won't let him get lost.
Responsible!"
"Of course, I will keep an eye on him!" Downey took his son's hand.
But little Yin Di'ao struggled a little, turned around and said to the old man: "You haven't returned my game console yet!"
Stan Lee was embarrassed, took it out of his pocket, and said shamelessly: "I thought you didn't want it!"
"Who doesn't want it? I haven't had enough fun yet!" The little guy stuck out his tongue at the old man.
The old man pretended not to see it, changed the subject and said to Yi Feiyang and the others: "Well. I have considered the suggestion you made before. Don't you want to shoot "Iron Man"? Then let's do it. But I have a condition..."
Yi Feiyang and Downey didn't expect that things would suddenly turn around, and said happily: "Just tell me, what are the conditions?"
"Ha, I want to show my face in your play, so that those ignorant people know who I am, Stan Lee..." The old man deliberately glanced at the little guy, "Especially, I want to let those who don't read comics know that I am
, Stan Lee. How great is he!"
Yi Feiyang and Downey looked at Stan Lee and then at the little guy. They couldn't figure out what happened between the two. However, Yi Feiyang knew that this was definitely a good opportunity and immediately said: "No problem, don't say you want to
A guest appearance, even if I give you an important role, it’s okay!”
Stan Lee said arrogantly: "Then it's waived, you can't afford my old man's salary!"
Yi Feiyang smiled.
In the next few days, Yi Feiyang began to work hard to develop the adapted script of "Iron Man". You must know that this comic was very early. Many storylines and structures are somewhat out of date now. Therefore, Yi Feiyang took charge of it and based it on the previous life.
This drama sets the story in the current era of counter-terrorism in the United States.
The protagonist of the story, Tony Stark, was born into a wealthy family in New York. He grew up with hands for food and mouths, and he did not only know how to enjoy and fool around like all the playboys. The naturally intelligent Stark was an amazing genius, 17
He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT at the age of 18, and successfully found his social position with impressive results - the new boss of his family business "Stark Arms Company". The unfortunate death of his parents inspired Tony's career even more
The driving force for progress. At the age of 21, he began to control tens of billions of properties, gradually establishing Stark's strong position as the first arms supplier to the US military. However, Tony's arrogant character and unscrupulous approach to achieve his goals often
He caused a lot of trouble for himself. Fortunately, he had a smart, capable, sexy and charming female assistant beside him, but a kidnapping incident not long afterward completely changed Tony Stark's life...
The script written by Yi Feiyang is almost not much different from the previous version. If anything, it is more satirical about American politics and the anti-war consciousness has become stronger.
After the script was adapted, Yi Feiyang immediately gave it to Stan Lee for viewing. Stan Lee did not expect him to adapt his work into a flower, but after reading the script, he was still impressed by Yi Feiyang.
I was surprised by his talent.
There was almost no objection, and Stan Lee acquiesced in the brilliance of this script.
Yi Feiyang seemed to be confident in his script from the beginning, so after the script was completed, he began to select actors.
In Yi Feiyang's view, since this is a blockbuster, it is necessary to select a few actors who can take on the leading roles. For this, he listed three conditions. First, the appearance must be commensurate with the role, and the villain must be
Like a bad guy, a good guy should look like a good guy; secondly, his acting skills should be excellent, and it is best to be able to create sparks and play with each other; thirdly, he must love the show "Iron Man", and it is best to be a fan, so that he can turn his passion into
power.
These three conditions may seem simple, but in fact they are very demanding. If nothing else, just having excellent acting skills can win over many people.
But what is unexpected is that not only the actors within Fantasy Entertainment are flocking to this drama, but even some Hollywood blockbuster stars hurried over after hearing the news and recommended themselves. Among them are Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise.
Si, and Bruce Willis, etc.
Why is this happening?!
First of all, many of these big stars are super fans of "Iron Man". You must know that the prototype of Iron Man is Howard Hughes, the most legendary figure in the United States. Many stars have admired him for a long time. Among them, the most fanatical one is
It belongs to Nicolas Cage. When he heard that Dream was going to start filming this movie, he ran over directly and said that he wanted to play the leading role even if he didn't get paid. Unfortunately, Yi Feiyang told him that the leading actor had already been chosen, and he wanted to be the villain.
?!
Secondly, the director of this film is Yi Feiyang. Who is Yi Feiyang? Nowadays, the hottest young director in Hollywood, the winner of the Oscar for Best Director, the son of God who creates miracles, being able to start shooting his movie is an honor in itself.
What's more, his movies have always grossed hundreds of millions at the box office. As long as you can join him, you can't go wrong!
Finally, Colombia is currently preparing to shoot "Spider-Man". Many big stars are competing for their scalps, but unfortunately they still missed the opportunity. It is rare that they are currently planning to shoot "Iron Man" which is as good as the other side. How can we miss this opportunity again? What's more,
Obviously, this "Iron Man" is going to compete with Columbia's "Spider-Man". With such two exciting dramas, instead of sitting on the bench and watching the drama, it is better to participate directly and see who is the final winner.
, this is called enjoyable!
For the above reasons, Fantasy Entertainment's "Iron Man" became a hit before it was filmed. Hollywood actors and stars came to audition one after another, hoping to join the film.
Yi Feiyang was not polite. He treated these big names and non-big names equally. In one sentence, you can try it and talk about it later. He started the interview and performed it on his own without a script.
In the past, Yi Feiyang always provided the script first when selecting movie actors. That was because their acting skills were not good, and they could only tell who was most suitable for which role based on the script. But now these actors are all top actors who have experienced many battles.
, naturally have their own styles, and no script can better display their respective abilities.
After several rounds of interviews, Yi Feiyang finally made a careful selection based on the needs of the story and everyone's performance in the interviews, and determined the final cast.
Robert Downey Jr. plays: "Protagonist" Tony Stark, with a bohemian character and an unforgiving mouth.
Ivanka Trump plays: Virginia "Pepper Pepper", whose personality is as hot as her figure and as careful as hair.
Nicolas Cage plays: the "big villain" Obadiah Stane, with a sinister and cunning character and ulterior motives.
Gyllenhaal plays: The leader of the terrorist, his character is vicious and vicious, and he will do whatever it takes.
Pars Hilton plays: Lina, a female reporter. She has a selfish personality, but is able to understand justice in times of danger.
In addition, black superstar Will Smith guest stars as the hero's friend Air Force Captain Jim, and Johnny Depp guest stars as Dr. Inson at the beginning...
It can be said that the cast of this drama is definitely hundreds of times better than that of the previous one.
After the main cast is confirmed, Yi Feiyang doesn't have to worry about the remaining extras, because as soon as the news of the filming of "Iron Man" is released, there will naturally be plenty of extras.
After the actor's affairs are settled, it does not mean that the movie can be shot. "Iron Man" has a grand scene and high requirements for the scene, and it is not just one scene. Like the desert in the Middle East at the beginning, it must go to the west.
For filming... we can't really fly to Afghanistan, not to mention the political situation there is unstable. Going there to film is just asking for death... This requires coordination with the local government first. There are also various weapons and equipment, and even helicopters
Planes, etc. also require cooperation with the military. Although this world is not as taboo as in the previous life, there are still some things that need to be paid attention to.
When it came time to shoot, a lot of damage was caused, and it was still in the urban area. The final dam and other issues needed to be dealt with by Yi Feiyang. Because he is the director and is responsible for the movie, including specific scenes.
Other people will definitely not be able to solve the problem, so Yi Feiyang can only handle it by himself.
The filming of the movie was not based on the progress of the movie, but on the scene, so the first part of the filming was naturally part of the urban scene. The rest of the time was spent dealing with the local government, and then borrowing military equipment.
Weapons and equipment.
After all these were coordinated, it was already the end of April, and the "Iron Man" press conference and launch ceremony had officially begun. (To be continued...)
