"How do you feel?

Mark looked at Zhou Fangyuan a little nervously.

He really doesn't know much about Chinese culture, and he doesn't know much about Chinese etiquette, but he has specifically inquired about it and studied, and knows that Chinese people like to talk about things and communicate feelings at the dinner table, and also know that Chinese people like to drink to enhance their feelings, the latter he can understand, but the former is completely unfamiliar territory to him. But there is no way, who made this big boss a Huaxia person, in order to please the other party, he can only use this method.

Zhou Fangyuan is another piece of steak belly, full of gravy, which makes people feel particularly enjoyable.

"It's delicious. ”

One thing to say, this kind of steak shop is actually similar to a fly restaurant in China. In fact, it can't be put on the table, but the taste is not bad, and it can even be said to be accurate that such a small restaurant has a unique flavor.

The food of the big hotel, or the food of those well-known restaurants, is not bad, but the audience of that kind of restaurant is too wide, and the chef must make his own dishes to meet everyone's habits as much as possible, which is the so-called public taste. The public taste, on the whole, is not bad, but there is nothing special, it is delicious, but it will not make people feel amazing. On the contrary, it is a small restaurant like the one now, but sometimes it can make some amazing food.

Zhou Fangyuan was not polite, and dried three steaks in one go, each of which was the size of a human face, which was too enjoyable.

"I haven't asked yet, why did you think of coming to pick up the plane today? You guys are also lucky, it just so happens that I don't have any other itinerary today, otherwise you might have to run for nothing." ”

Zhou Fangyuan said while wiping his mouth.

Here it comes!

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that now was the time to strengthen their relationship.

Mark sorted out the language, "I mainly want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to play a superhero." ”

"Yes, if it weren't for you, I would still be acting in a TV series in Australia, this opportunity is really rare for me. ”

Chris then said.

"But you know, we're just starting out and we don't have much money, so ...... But I want to be good, and when I have money in the future, I will definitely thank you again. ”

The last to speak was Robert Jr.

All three of them are actually at a low point in their careers now.

Mark is slightly better, but not much better.

Chris doesn't say it, he is a newcomer who has just debuted in Australia, and his career has not yet fully started.

As for Robert Jr., those who are familiar with him know that he is actually a very talented actor.

Because he was born in an acting family since he was a child, it can be said that he has his own performance genes. The son of director Robert Downey and actress Elsie Downey, he made his debut in 1970 in his father's film "Pound," in which 5-year-old Downey played a puppy.

His family has lived in London since he was 10 years old and has studied classical ballet at Chelsea's famous Perry House School. However, he was not satisfied with the bright lights of the big city. At the age of 16, Downey Jr. left school and returned to New York to begin his acting career, first performing in an Off-Broadway play.

From 1985 to 1986, Downey was a regular member of Saturday Night Live, impersonating Elvis Presley and Sean Penn on the show.

After acting in several films, Robert Downey Jr. starred in "Pickle Girl Expert" with Jasmine Linward, which was the first film he starred in. In the same year, he also played a gentleman who sank into the sea of poison in another cautionary "Passion Under Zero", which attracted the attention of film critics.

In 1993, he defeated famous filmmakers Dustin, Hoffman, Robin, Williams and Billy and Christo to win the role of Chaplin. He starred in "Chaplin and His Lover", both the charm and the acting style are in place, is one of Robert Downey Jr.'s early masterpieces, and was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor with the film, winning the title of British Academy Award. Coincidentally, a few years before he got the legendary silent film role of Chaplin, he bought Charlie Chaplin's former home. Downey's character Chaplin was also endorsed by Queen Elizabeth, and she even went to the London premiere at Leicester Square in person.

It can be said that Donnie at that time was definitely a representative of young geniuses, and today, it is the peak of his debut, which is simply blind to the eyes of I don't know how many people.

If he goes on step by step like this, I don't dare to say whether he can become a superstar in the future, but at the very least, the position of a first-line superstar must be stable.

It's just a pity that as I said before, he has walked into a crooked path on the road of life.

Since 1996, due to the start of taking strong * drugs * , the East Window incident occurred, for possession of * drugs, speeding under the influence of * drugs, breaking into private houses, illegal carrying of guns, arrested and tried many times, was forcibly extorted by the court and sentenced to probation. In the end, he was imprisoned twice and served a total of 16 months. Even in the years after 1997, he was in and out of prison on drug charges.

During the 5-year and painful "anti-drug plan", Downey experienced the darkest moment of his life.

After his comeback, Downey's first job was to be a "stand-in" for singer Elton John's song "I Want Love" and shoot the music video. At that time, someone sighed: "The former Oscar-winning actor, but now he has to lip-sync pop singers." ”

So when the crew of "Iron Man" found him, he was so excited, and even a little tearful, and later knew that his starring role was hand-picked by Zhou Fangyuan, Donnie once regarded Zhou Fangyuan as a lifesaver. Yes, a film contract is almost equivalent to giving him a second life and making his career see the light again.

Of course, he was not confident at first, after all, the mistakes he had made were difficult for the people to forgive.

If it's just alcoholism, or some other minor problem, everyone may be able to endure it and it will pass.

But taking * drugs? This is a matter of principle, but he is still the type who has been taught again and again, and now he has changed himself, but will others believe him? And if he has a tainted star, can the audience still accept him? If the audience does not accept it, won't his career be over? When he first participated in the performance, he often unconsciously NG, not because his acting skills were not good, nor because he was not dedicated enough, but because he thought about too many things and worried about too many things during that time, as a result, he was unable to enter the state, and many staff members in the crew had a lot of complaints about him.

Fortunately, he was hand-picked by investor Zhou Fangyuan, and director Jon Favreau often helped him channel his emotions in addition to filming, which slowly allowed him to get out of the quagmire and recover himself.

Time has proved that Zhou Fangyuan's choice is correct!

In the middle of last year, "Iron Man" was released and successfully won a box office of 525 million, which was well received worldwide. It was because of the success of Iron Man that the original time and space had the later Avengers, which is why the original Avengers series has been telling stories around Iron Man. It can be said that it was Marvel who saved Downey in the original space-time, and Downey also saved Marvel!

Now, even if Zhou Fangyuan saved Downey and Marvel at the same time, Marvel didn't mention it, Downey here is extremely grateful to him.

However, in Zhou Fangyuan's view, it is not so much that he saved Donnie, but that Downey and Iron Man, Marvel, and even himself have reached a mutually fulfilling relationship.

Quite simply, because Downey seems to have been born for Iron Man. Many people don't know that in the original time and space, Sam Rockwell auditioned Tony Stark in the first part of Iron Man, but he ended up playing the villain Justin, the villain of Iron Man 2; The most important thing is that Robert Downey Jr.'s life is too similar to Iron Man, young and promising but cynical, people only realize it in middle age, and his personality is seamlessly linked to Iron Man, in fact, he looks quite similar to Iron Man in the comics, Donnie, Tony.

Even Donnie himself felt that he was born to play Iron Man, and in an interview with Yuan Plane, he once said that "Iron Man is the most nervous I played since Chaplin, like my first audition." But it can't be helped, I think, it's all fate. ”

Even the comic book creator Stan Lee said that Robert Downey Jr. was destined to play Iron Man, Iron Man has become one with Robert Downey Jr., it is undeniable that Downey played really well, genius, playboy, billionaire, philanthropist and Iron Man to the fullest. Everything that followed became so logical. The sequel to "Iron Man", as well as "The Avengers" and the branch, etc., etc., have allowed audiences around the world to see the unique side of this man.

But he didn't limit himself to just this one role, he loves acting, his life belongs to the entertainment industry, and he will think about trying to challenge more different movies. In 08 and 09, he was nominated for an Oscar for supporting actor and the 67th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for "Tropic Thunder" and "Sherlock Holmes".

However, there is a little pity, that is, he seems to be more or less limited by "Iron Man", even in the later "Sherlock Holmes", the cynical momentum is still very strong. Maybe Sherlock Holmes himself is a cynic, but because Iron Man is in front of him, everyone will inevitably think that he is still Tony Stark. It can't be helped, the Marvel Universe movies are like that. The advantage of actors playing the roles in it is that they can take a ride on Marvel and superheroes, so that they can develop quickly because they are not famous or not famous. But on the other hand, the success of the movie will also put a label on them, and it is easy to have an inherent impression of Xincheng in the minds of the audience.

When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to reverse it.

is similar to Robert Jr., as well as Scarlett Johansson, who is also the actor of Black Widow.

Anyone who has watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, basically no one does not know Black Widow, plus Scarlett herself is sexy and beautiful, she has won the title of the most profitable female star many times. However, many people only see Black Widow, but they don't know that Scarlett has also starred in many other movies before starring in Black Widow.

In 1994, ten-year-old Scarlett Johansson starred in her first film "North", and starred in several movies in a row, and was nominated for the "Independent Spirit Award" for Best Actress at the age of 12. For her early works, the most impressive one is "The Horse Whisperer" in 1998. Although Scarlett doesn't star in this classic by Robert Redford, it's natural to think of a glimpse of her when you think of this movie. It was 14-year-old Scarlett, like Jennifer Connelly in "Once Upon a Time in America", who was young enough to captivate the country.

Since then, she has been favored by many big directors, including the Coen brothers and Sofia Coppola. In 2002, Scarlett starred in the film "Lost in Translation" directed by Sofia Coppola, and at the age of 18, she became the focus of criticism in one fell swoop. The image of her leaning against the window and gazing at the night view of Tokyo has even become a classic in film history. In the eyes of Scarlett in the movie, there is the modern loneliness that Sophia wants to find, and there is also a classical atmosphere from a distant time.

In 2004's "Girl with Pearls", Scarlett seemed to come out of an oil painting. Thick but not bright colors, psychedelic but real texture, this film uses the lens language to complete the interaction between film and painting, and uses film to tell us that art has no boundaries. In the intoxicating picture, the director also tells a story with the meaning of oil painting. The relationship between the painter Vermeer played by Colin Firth and the maid played by Scarlett Johansson is the focus of the whole film.

At this time, Scarlett Johansson has shown infinite potential, and all she needs to wait for is a director who really understands her to create the most suitable work for her.

The man appeared shortly after, a skinny old man from New York, wearing glasses that couldn't stop the sharpness of his gaze.

Woody Allen, one of the most important directors of contemporary China, has a special love for Scarlett Johansson.

In 2005, Woody Allen asked Scarlett to star in her own movie "The End of the Race". "The End of the Game" is a Woody Allen movie that is not very "Woody Allen", although the film still has thoughts about love and life, and still has philosophical dialogues, but the exquisite plot design makes this film much more commercial than his predecessor. But in any case, Scarlett is undoubtedly a plus. People began to no longer pay attention only to her appearance, and her performance itself was also full of highlights.

In 2008, Scarlett Johansson appeared in Woody Allen's new film "Midnight in Barcelona", and she and Penelope Cruz reflected the beauty of Barcelona together, making her charm a city's annotation. 、

At this time, she has almost become a first-line actress in Hollywood, but ...... After a "Iron Man 2" and several subsequent Marvel movies are filmed, who will still sound the Scarlett who used to have a smile and a smile? After that, she made other movies, such as "Super Body", "Ghost in the Shell", etc., etc., no matter what she made, she couldn't get out of the shadow of "Black Widow".

Therefore, superhero movies are good, but they are not good, but for a newcomer like Donnie and Chris, such a super-big production and super-IP movie, even if there are such and such flaws and troubles, they can't refuse at all.
