Wrapping up a scene is always the top priority, just like writing an article, the last part must have a perfect ending.
In addition, the director usually chooses the most difficult part to shoot for the final scene, because only in this way can he have the pleasure of conquering the last mountain.
The final scene of "Iron Man" is the final scene between actor Robert Downey Jr. and villain Nicolas Cage.
The general plot is that the villain played by Cage wants to monopolize Stark Company and builds steel equipment that is more powerful than the steel suit. Then the two steel giants start a life-and-death struggle. The scene is extremely fierce. Unfortunately, during the battle, Steel
The monster finally lost to Iron Man.
As a science fiction film, this fight scene is basically produced using computer special effects, which is extremely realistic and has good visual effects.
However, the rivalry scene after the war is very important, and this scene is also the final scene of "Iron Man" that Yi Feiyang chose.
"This scene must be completed in one go..." Yi Feiyang took out the camera position diagram that he had designed long ago and handed it to the photographer Matthew, because this scene is of great importance and will be shot by Matthew himself.
As mentioned before, Matthew is a film talent that Yi Feiyang temporarily poached from Fox, and he is best at shooting science fiction films.
At this moment, Matthew took a look at the picture, closed his eyes to think about it, and immediately nodded in agreement with Yi Feiyang's design: "This is the best way, the camera should have a solid feeling when it is pushed!"
It was this scene. After Yi Feiyang designed everything, he handed it over to the assistant director Fat Jack to control it. Then he walked into the performance area and said to the leading actors Downey and Cage: "Hey, guys, remember, you will wait a moment.
They have the most scenes with each other. Yes, we must understand each other's emotions well. It is best to go through it once and for all, and never take advantage of it! God, I am not stingy with those negatives, but because I have prepared a rich final film for everyone.
Banquet, if the filming is delayed, I’m afraid those cold beers will lose their best drinking taste!”
Upon hearing that there was a closing party, Downey and Cage immediately became excited, "Don't worry, boss!" "Don't worry, director!" "We will definitely shoot it!"
With morale high, and with an order from Yi Feiyang, the final scene of "Iron Man" began.
But obviously, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Yi Feiyang had very high requirements for this final scene, and it was shot five or six times with n-cameras. The most critical part is that Downey's character Star
Ke actually got "stuck" again!
Yes. It's Donnie, the guy who was trained by Yi Feiyang, who can perform joy, anger, sorrow and joy with a single smile, but he was once again stumped by Yi Feiyang's high demands.
"Downey, you must change in this last scene. If you turned into Iron Man at first just to survive and to take revenge on the enemies who hurt you, then now, your feelings and cognition must be sublimated...
Do you understand sublimation? It is not a simple playful smile, nor is it pretending to be deep, but a kind of compassion from the bottom of your heart, but this emotion must be covered and hidden by your surface cynicism..." Yi Feiyang taught earnestly.
"So, in the next scene, you fight with Cage and are knocked to the ground by his steel monster over and over again. But you, Iron Man, have to stand up and fight unyieldingly, not for anything else, just because you are
Iron Man!”
Yi Feiyang's request is actually very simple. He requires Downey to fully understand the concept of "Xia".
There has always been an essential difference between Western knights and Eastern knights. China’s recognition of knights is Jin Yong’s. A great knight serves the country and the people. The so-called knight in the West is Robin Hood, Zorro and the like, who emphasizes not being afraid.
Rape, dare to resist. In today's American comics era, various heroes emerge in endlessly, such as The Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman, Daredevil, Spawn, Fantastic Four...etc., heroes
The concept has also changed from the original concept of not being afraid of rape and confronting powerful forces, to secretly punishing evil and eradicating evil and upholding justice.
It can be said that American knight-errant movies have become more superficial and simpler, with no deeper meaning.
But this "Iron Man" is an exception. In Yi Feiyang's view, "Iron Man" is the only movie that uses personal power to fight against terrorists, and these terrorists actually colluded with those in power in the United States to stage
A series of political farces.
Therefore, in Yi Feiyang's view, the character of Iron Man is like Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He was cynical at first, then matured and stable, and then became a great hero.
Downey obviously kept Yi Feiyang's teachings in mind. After taking a short break, he and Yi Feiyang studied the role carefully.
"That's about right, director!" Downey said, "I seem to have figured out the heart of this character."
"That's good, let's do it again!"
"Well, okay!"
"come on!"
…
The camera rustled on the track.
The camera focuses on the two main characters.
The Iron Man played by Downey was crushed by the Iron Monster played by Cage.
Downey, who fell to the ground, got up over and over again, fell down, and got up again. The slightly emotional scene that he had performed before was so natural at this time. He didn't need the help of lines, but his demeanor and eyes were quite natural.
There is no pretense, nor is there any excessive physical expression or tone in the past, and there is no excessive anger in the expression, but more of a mockery and regret...
Everyone felt a real and touching peace from him, and this feeling was perfectly integrated into every subtle expression, tone of voice, and even ridicule and resistance of Downey, making everyone feel that although this Tony Stark was crazy about the Iron Monster,
Bian, but he always exudes an unyielding and powerful consciousness.
Subtext:
What makes you flat is my body, but what makes you strong is my spirit!
Keep getting beaten up and keep getting up.
He pursed his lips and smiled, continuing to fight. The slow pace, but the firm and mocking demeanor, made people admire him from the bottom of his heart... The mental impact of seeing this scene in person was far more moving than across the screen.
.
Johnny Depp, a popular actor in Hollywood, although he only made a cameo in this movie, he and Cage are best friends. So every time Cage is filming, he will come to cheer him up. Therefore, in Depp's heart,
I have long regarded Downey as the strongest opponent in the future.
Depp's attention to Downey has made him watch almost all of Downey's performances, but he doesn't feel this way at all. In other words... in just a few minutes, that perverted Chinese Yi made Downey achieve the goal.
Man is incredibly transformed...
But Depp still didn't believe it, fearing that it was his illusion, so he turned to look at the others. Observing their reactions, he found that everyone had a look of admiration on their faces when they saw Downey. They were sincere.
I was fascinated by the indescribable charm of Downey.
Cage is in danger!
This was Depp's first reaction. He felt that it was too stressful for his best friend to play opposite Depp.
"Why, why is he like this, Yi?" Depp finally walked up to Yi Feiyang and asked curiously. Some people nearby opened their ears and listened. The creator of all this must know the answer.
"Take a good look at Donnie. How is he different from usual?"
Depp looked at Downey who was performing. Looking into his clear eyes, he wanted to find out the answer. While he was wondering, he suddenly heard someone behind him mutter: "Calm, he looks calm?"
After hearing the reporter say this word later, Depp suddenly realized, yes, it is calm. At this moment, Robert Downey Jr. in front of the camera showed many emotional reactions on the surface, but he always exuded a kind of calm~~
"Well, it can be said to be calm, or it can be said to be a kind of calmness in the heart." Yi Feiyang nodded after hearing this.
In fact, this kind of story that is first suppressed and then promoted is a fixed pattern. The plot settings of superhero movies are not really different from other types of movie stories. They all use the same story pattern.
The story of the protagonist who was bullied by the villain at first and then became stronger for some reason and then defeated the villain. The plot is very simple. The protagonist of almost every type of drama will go through this process, and there are even many interesting scenes.
similar.
Whether it's the vicious future mother-in-law, the company's boss who bullies the protagonist, or the underworld boss or terrorist, they are all just a form of "villain".
And with such a fixed plot, there is only one factor that can really make people feel the difference between the good and bad of the story - that is whether the protagonist is impressive enough.
In most gambling movies and emotional dramas, the biggest reason for fighting against villains is "personal goals". In order to get love, to become a leader in a certain industry, to get ahead, etc., the protagonists in these stories are usually minor characters.
It is close to life and can easily touch the audience's emotions.
The actors are also very good at acting.
Superheroes are completely different from these. The reason why a superhero is a superhero is because he is detached from personal struggle and sacrifices his life for others. China has accurately translated this spirit in one word -
"Xia".
Characters based on "Man" are actually very noble and admirable. However, no matter how noble the comic superhero character itself is, in many movies and TV shows, the actors who play Superman and Batman do not look like superheroes.
Heroes may appear hypocritical or naive, which is commonly known as "fake and empty".
The fundamental problem here is that, whether they are Chinese "xia" or American "heroes", although they themselves have incomparable charisma in their descriptions, the young actors who play them cannot express the temperament of the characters themselves.
The heroes in those stories all have noble personalities of tolerance, humility, and kindness in their hearts after experiencing the world. Therefore, the spirit of these "xiaxia" can infect the public and make people admire and worship them from the bottom of their hearts. People worship more than just
It is their strong external strength, but they are infected by the noble personality emanating from their hearts.
But those young actors, no matter how beautiful and handsome they are, in their hearts they are just ordinary people who want to get ahead in the film and television industry, people who are trying their best to prove themselves, pretending to be a "hero"? A mediocre look in their eyes
It's enough to make people laugh.
Actors can only pretend to be tolerant, pretend to be humble, and pretend to work hard for others, but movie fans are not fools. They can clearly feel the true heart of the people on the screen.
When the "Xia" on the screen becomes creamy, hypocritical, and oily. The image of the hero and "Xia" collapses. People will gradually no longer believe in the existence of lofty spirits in the world. Then everyone thinks that the original ones in the world
The so-called "Xia" is so ugly and realistic,
Mediocre people cannot carry nobility, and will only turn nobility into hypocrisy. Gradually, people are more accepting of "real-life" characters than "pseudo-heroes."
"Heroes" gradually collapsed in people's hearts. I don't know when, people began to become numb and began to accept the ugliness of everything. They lost their respect for the noble, lost their tolerance, and lost the most precious things.
At this moment, watching "Iron Man" played by Robert Downey Jr.... everyone can clearly feel that in his heart he exudes perseverance, uncompromisingness, and regret for his enemies. Those noble heroes who were once fictional in comics are just like him.
When he really appeared in front of them, he was a person. On the surface, he was vain, liked to be in the limelight, and extremely arrogant, but at this moment, his heart was so bright and powerful.
This is what a true hero looks like. He has human weaknesses, but he can radiate the gentlest and kindest light in his heart, illuminating the darkest corners of our hearts~~
We know clearly that Tony Stark in the filming is fictional, but everyone feels his personality charm so truly...
This is the "hero", this is the image of the "xia".
…
Shooting continues.
It seems that he felt the sudden change in Downey's aura, and Cage, as his acting rival, was actually inspired to his potential. A more exciting rivalry scene began.
Downey pulled Cage out of the steel armor that was about to explode. The heavy rain poured down on him, and the defeated Cage knelt on the ground and gasped.
The conversation begins.
Donnie: "You lost this time, didn't you?"
Cage's eyes were full of anger, "I didn't lose! I was just unlucky! Yes, I lost to this guy like you!"
Downey: "Me? Haha, I'm the president of Stark!"
Cage: "Are you worthy? Stark was founded by your father and I. When I was a young boy, I already sold my first gun in Stark! But now, what are you going to do?
You actually want to reform the Stark Arms Company, God, if the arms company doesn't sell arms, what will it sell? Sandwiches or egg rolls?"
Donnie: "We're killing people, you know that? Man!"
Cage spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered: "Killing? People are killing people every day in this world, but there are many people who we help provide weapons. Even if they do kill people, it has nothing to do with us. We are just doing business, and what I do
Everything is to protect Stark Company!"
Downey said angrily: "No, you are deceiving yourself! You are not doing it for the company, but for yourself! You are a selfish person who can abandon everything, including faith and kindness, in order to make money!"
"Hahaha!" Cage laughed, "What about you, brother, what kind of person are you? Are you kind? No, you are not at all! You pretend to be Iron Man or a big hero, but in fact,
Aren't you just a playboy who has fun everywhere? What about life and death, what about justice?! If the arms company your father and I founded together is the executioner, then so are you!"
"No, you bastard! Now I'm going to change everything!" Downey grabbed Cage's collar angrily.
"Do you want to kill me, man? Didn't you just say that life is precious?" Cage sneered.
"Exception is you bastard!" Downey punched him.
Cage fights with him.
During the fight, Cage accidentally slipped and fell onto the balcony. Below was an abyss.
Close-up: Cage clings to the edge of the balcony, "Help me, man, please help me, I don't want to die yet!"
Downey walked to the edge of the balcony and sneered: "Many people killed by guns have said similar things!"
"I promise you, I agree with the company's reform. We can no longer buy and sell arms. We can buy and sell everything. What about Coca-Cola? Let's buy it over? We can also sell BMW cars and buy them over... Please,
Pull me up, it's very high here! Oh God!" Needless to say, this passage is a commercial advertisement added by Yi Feiyang.
Lens transition.
Downey still stretched out his hand and held Cage.
"I hope you are telling the truth, man! But before that, you must be punished by law first!"
Downey pulled Cage up from underneath his shabby clothes.
"I'm saved, I'm finally saved!" Cage came up and sat down on the ground and said.
Downey was also a little helpless. After all, rescuing people is not an easy task.
"I hope you can keep your promise, man. Well, it's best to surrender and maybe get forgiveness from the law!"
"Yes, I will! Yes, now I can take a breath and take a rest and I will go!" Cage said as he quietly hid a handful of sharp steel fragments, just as he was about to hit Downey's heart.
When he stabbed it viciously, there was a loud gunshot.
Cage looked back in disbelief, then lost his center of gravity and fell to the top of the building again, with a loud sound, and fell into the abyss.
An old man in security uniform ran to the roof of the building at some point, holding a gun in his hand.
If you look carefully, you will recognize him as the comic tycoon Stan Lee who guest-starred in this movie.
Old Man Li acted like he was panicking: "I killed him, didn't I?"
Donnie, who was still frightened: "Yes, but you also saved me!"
Old Man Li's acting skills are really good, "So, I am also a hero?"
"Yes you are!"
"So, are you Iron Man?"
Donnie glanced at Old Man Li and smiled mysteriously: "What do you think?"
There was a lightning bolt in the sky, illuminating the fiery red steel suit...
"Cut!" Yi Feiyang shouted from behind the monitor, "It's great! Your performance, especially, is top-notch!"
The camera stopped running, and everyone woke up as if from a dream. When everyone came back to their senses, sighs and discussions began, filling the entire crew.
In the camera, Stan Lee said: "Did you hear that? This sentence is a compliment to me. I just said it, I am very talented in acting!"
Tangni was not willing to fight with the old man, but shouted to Yi Feiyang: "So, director, have you passed?"
Yes, has the final scene passed? This is what everyone wants to know.
Yi Feiyang smiled, then laughed and said: "Of course it passed! I declare that this drama has been successfully completed!"
"Oh!" Everyone jumped up.
However, for Downey, Cage, Depp and others, this scene is like an extremely exciting performance competition.
In particular, Downey and Cage's uncompromising acting skills made everyone watch the show thoroughly and invisibly, they gained a deeper understanding of acting skills.
"Oh my god, this isn't filming, it's clearly a live acting class!"
"Yes, I can't forget it. I definitely can't forget today and their performance!"
"Thank you Yi for creating the opportunity for us to appreciate God's acting skills!"
…
After listening to these words, Yi Feiyang was extremely pleased. Whether it was Downey, Cage, or even Depp who was just a guest star, they all lived up to their expectations and at least made this "Iron Man" a success.
