This scene is the most difficult stage in the whole film.

A billionaire suddenly becomes a prisoner, and the drastic change of identity brings about a change in mood. As soon as the mood changes, everything else will change with it, just like the two people before and after.

If the acting skills are not in place, 90% of the actors will be stuck here. But with Robert Downey Jr., everything is much simpler.

Maybe it was because he had been "sinking" for too long, and now it was time for him to rise.

"How about it, big director, do I still need some guidance on my performance?" Downey has always been Downey, who just shocked the audience, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately came back to the scene, and actually teased the director.

Chen Tiandu had a constipated expression on his face, and said, "Hmm...... In fact...... I think so...... There are still areas that need to be improved. Your expression, yes, was when you choked just now, it really looked like a pregnant woman giving birth. You know I'm not talking nonsense, I've seen the expressions of pregnant women giving birth. But...... This scene ...... That's probably it, so as not to waste the film. You know, film is expensive now. ”

"Cut~~"

Donnie turned to leave, and there was laughter from the people around him.

Jokes are jokes, when the real work starts, no one dares to slack off. At noon, Kevin Feige came over to chat and asked suspiciously, "Chen, I found that you pay special attention to shaping the humanity of superheroes, which is different from previous superheroes." On the contrary, it is a bit like the 'Hulk' directed by Li Case...... Well, I'm not saying that Lee's case is bad, but his 'Hulk' was not accepted by American audiences. ”

Chen Tian knew his concerns, put down the box lunch and explained seriously: "There are still many differences. Cage. You haven't captured the essence of a commercial blockbuster. That is, the selling point. ”

"It's all about depicting human nature. That doesn't seem like a big difference? ”

"There's a big difference."

Chen Tiandu said: "The reason why the Hulk of the Li case drove high and walked low was that he failed to make the audience really happy. He's committed to shaping Bruce Banner's heart, and that's good. It has also been praised by the media and film critics. But he has made too many literary films before, and he shows human nature too seriously, so that he ignores the audience. And my movie is different, don't you believe Donnie, is he acting cool? ”

"Hey, it's cool." Robert Downey Jr. still has rice grains in his mouth. He replied vaguely, "Please, it's dinner time." ”

Chen Tiandu ignored both of them and continued: "Tony Stark seems to be just one character, but in fact there are two. Kevin Feige frowned, he didn't understand.

"I can explain this question." Donnie was also intrigued, and leaned over and said, "One is called Iron Man, and the other is Tony Stark." ”

Kevin Feige nodded, he seemed to understand.

"Iron Man is an image created in comics, and he represents coolness. You can spend a lot of money, and luxury cars and beauties are constant. Also has a genius head. And Tony Stark is the soul of our movie. He has undergone the transformation from Playboy to Iron Man, and the psychological journey is the key to the film. ”

"That's right." Chen Tiandu took over the topic and said: "Iron Man is just a figurative symbol, any director can shoot well, and many actors can play well." And if we want to make "Iron Man" look like a real masterpiece and get a hit, then what we need to do is to create the character of Tony Stark. In fact, pulling the deified superhero back to the ground and turning into a human is something I've been trying to do in Batman. This time 'Iron Man' will be more thorough, because the character itself has a certain practical significance. ”

"Maybe after this movie is released, there will be one less actor in the world named Robert Downey Jr., but one more superstar named Tony Stark. You're going to be synonymous with 'Iron Man', Tony. ”

Robert Downey Jr. frowned, "My name is Downey, and I can play any role." "No actor likes to be fixed.

"Okay, Tony, I believe."

“……”

Although Robert Downey Jr. calls himself a genius and his acting is indeed a genius, a movie series is always inevitable.

In front of the cave, dozens of terrorists were in front of them, and little Robert Downey, in rags, walked out in shackles, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, and gently blocking the sunlight with his handcuffed palms......

“cut！”

Chen Tiandu shouted a timeout again and pulled the puzzled Donnie over. "Donnie, your expression here is too much, you don't have the right to be angry now, but you can't be desperate either. ”

Donnie frowned and thought for a long time, "I don't quite understand. Shouldn't there be anger at the terrorists who saw their own company's weapons and were manipulated by the terrorists who caught them? Not to mention that Tony will be saved later, he should have some angry expression. But he is not saved now, and he doesn't know if he will leave alive, so he also has some despair. ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head and argued with him: "Have you watched "The Passion of the Christ"? ”

"What does that have to do with here?"

"The time and place here are completely different from the cave before, Donnie." Chen Tiandu said: "You see, Tony Stark has just been arrested before, and when he sees a terrorist for the first time, his eyes can be anger and despair. But now that I have been living in a cave for several days, I have experienced the biggest change in my life. It's like being in prison, not seeing the sun for a long time, and coming out for the first time. What will your expression be? ”

Donnie was suddenly touched and doubted: "You won't ask me to play Iron Man just because I was in prison." ”

Chen Tiandu was speechless, "Please, people can't be narcissistic to this extent." At that time, Marvel was not mine, who would spend years waiting for a man, my sexuality was healthy. ”

Donnie chuckled and said, "Okay, you win." Let's try again. ”

Chen Tiandu instructed: "Remember, come out like Jesus." ”

Do it all over again.

The moment the hood was removed, it was still the dazzling sunlight, and the dirty Tony Stark raised his arm to block the sun. His eyes ...... No, no eyes. Only overtired eye bags. Calm like a puppet.

When I saw all kinds of missiles and munitions randomly placed around me with the "Stark" logo. The expression on his face finally changed, frowning, then dazed and sad.

“good！”

In this show, Tony? Stark doesn't have many lines when he comes into contact with terrorists, but he has to show confusion, guilt, shock, and several different psychological emotions, and where there are no lines. Robert Downey Jr. just uses his eyes, extremely subtle facial expressions and rhythmic changes to express an extremely wonderful emotional change, which makes people feel a subtle atmosphere.

This kind of superb acting skills also makes people have to admire.

Chen Tiandu shouted, "It's over, Tony, you're really a god." ”

Since it is called "Iron Man", the most important prop in this film is undoubtedly Iron Man's armor.

All "mark 1, 2, 3" armor. They are all steel suits worn by "Iron Man" by four-time Oscar winner Stan Winston and his makeup and special effects team.

Stan Winston Studio before it began designing costumes. Chen Tiandu had already communicated with them about the design concept and role first. In the film, Tony Stark designed his first suit of steel while he was captured, called Mark1, which was originally called "Grey Armor" in early Marvel Comics.

Shane Manhan is in charge of the production of the Mark1 steel suit and other steel suits, and Chen Tiandu's steel suit is not a high-tech work, but the most important thing is that it looks strong enough.

Based on this concept, gray armor is also made up of a bunch of materials such as many metal parts, cannonball parts, etc.

Shane Manhan's team also had a brainstorm to meet the director's requirements and make the steel suit as light as possible without diminishing the persuasiveness, as they had to make sure that Robert Downey Jr. and the stuntman didn't act clumsy because they were too bulky to act while wearing costumes.

Shane Manhan's Mark1 steel suit is indeed very strong, which has been tested unexpectedly on the stuntman. At that time, the stand-in was wearing a full steel suit, and he accidentally fell to the ground after filming one of the shots of the cave, startling everyone.

The first thought of people is, "Hopefully Mike is okay." ”

Then he immediately thought, "I hope the steel suit is not broken." ”

This is the only set of mark1 steel suits in the crew, so if something happens, they can only find a way to fix it. Fortunately, the stuntman was not injured in a fall, and the steel suit was not damaged.

When it was Robert Downey Jr.'s turn to put on the steel suit himself, he couldn't help but admire the stuntman from the bottom of his heart. He later said in an interview: "I've been acting for so many years, and I'm still quite strong, but the first time I wore the Mark1 steel suit, I became a bit of a broken personality. I don't have claustrophobia, but after a few hours in this costume, you'll start to get a little agitated, hoping to change the stunt in time to rescue you. ”

……

In fact, the plot setting of superhero movies is not really different from any Hong Kong gambling films, the Crazy Boy series, or Korean male and female emotional dramas, all of which use the same story mode. The story of the protagonist who was bullied by the villain at the beginning and couldn't hold his head up, became strong for some reason, and then defeated the villain, the plot is very simple, and the protagonist of almost every type of drama will go through this process, and even many of the bridges are very similar.

Whether it is the vicious future mother-in-law, or the boss of the company who oppresses the protagonist, or the boss of the underworld, or the terrorist, in fact, it is just a form of "villain". And under such a fixed plot, there is only one element that can really make people feel the difference between advantages and disadvantages - that is, whether the protagonist is enough to impress people.

And the biggest reason for most movies to fight with villains is "personal purpose", in order to get love, in order to become a leader in a certain industry, in order to get ahead, etc., these personal goals, the protagonists in these stories are generally small people close to life, all the emotions that are easy to move the audience. The actors are also very handy.

The same is true in "Iron Man", before the hero defeats the villain, he needs to be taught a tragic lesson by the villain, and then he can seize the opportunity to rise and explode at a critical moment, so as to have a sense of refreshment.

But how to deal with it, so as not to make the audience feel "too much", "not good-looking", "disappointed", "so bad", "garbage bad movie", this will test a director's skills.

Chen Tian is a veteran of dealing with this kind of plot, and he can easily control this story mode of first suppressing and then promoting. At the same time, it will not let Tony Stark's humor be lost, and it will not make the audience dull to watch.

Once they entered the state, everyone felt Chen Tiandu's "thunderstorm" shooting speed.

Whether it was Robert Downey Jr., who worked with Chen Tiandu for the first time, or Kevin Feige, who watched Chen Tiandu filming for the first time, they were a little surprised, "It turns out that the nickname of the fast gunner came from like this." ”

"The scenes are so camera-sensitive, and each scene is full of purpose, so it's no wonder that people suspect that he has built the whole movie in his head in advance."

As a result, everyone suddenly discovered that it had just entered June, and the movie was already facing the situation that it was about to be completed. This even left Robert Downey Jr. a little unsatisfied. To be continued...... I1292
