readx;?“ The role of Pepper in "Iron Man" is not light, because she represents Tony's inner concern, and at the same time the only brake in his bohemian life, and the bond of trust between them is irreplaceable. www.biquge.info It's a pity that in the last two works of the series, Pepper is gradually reduced to a vase and has not been able to get more play, which is also a common problem in Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

In the previous "Iron Man", Pepper was played by Gwyneth Paltrow, who matched the character's temperament quite well, although not brilliant, but also impressive.

Now Lance has not seen the synopsis of the story, and he has not calmed down to think about it, and he is not sure whether he intends to play the heroic role of Tony Stark, because Lance knows that once he plays it, he will inevitably be tied to the character, just like Robert Downey Jr.

"Iron Man" brought Robert to the pinnacle of his career, but also brought his career as an actor to a standstill, and in eight years, he had almost no other works worth mentioning - even if it was filmed, it was a mediocre response, which was even several times more serious than Johnny Depp's restrictions on "Pirates of the Caribbean". The strong influence of Marvel Studios can make a lot of money for Robert, but it can also become a box that binds Robert.

The last thing Lance needs is such a limit.

However, he aside, Gwyneth plays Pepper, which is a good idea. Although Lance and Gwyneth have a past, as Lance has said before, he doesn't mind reworking with Gwyneth if it can bring him box office and benefits.

But just now, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Lance felt that Kate to play Pepper seemed to be a good proposal. Of course, if Kai nods, then it is inevitable to increase the role of Pepper, at least to make the character plump, otherwise it will be a big waste.

"So...... It's a ...... Uh, superhero movies? Kate wasn't quite sure what "Iron Man" was, after all, her understanding of this part was really limited, Lance smiled dumbly, nodded and confirmed, "So, this little pepper is the heroine?" Lance replied in the affirmative again, but Kate pursed her lips with a disgusted expression, "Don't you think it's more interesting to play the villain than the heroine?" ”

Sure enough, Kate's style is different.

"Imagine, the brilliance of this type of hero movie never depends on the hero's ability, but on the charm of the villain." Kate said seriously, "I can play a charismatic but extremely dangerous villain, like Catwoman in Batman, isn't it interesting to play this kind of role that is both good and evil?" ”

"Hey, you know Batman and Catwoman." Lance's focus was different, and Kate didn't mind, wrinkling her nose and lowering her voice, "When you have children, you still have two sons, you will know many mysterious things. Lance chuckled, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, is Roman okay now?" ”

Not long ago, Kate's second son Roman celebrated his first birthday, but he didn't want to have a high fever, and Kate stayed at home in Australia for a long time.

"Good, he's good now. Thank you for the gift, although the little train has been taken by Dahir. Speaking of her son, Kate's eyebrows involuntarily showed a faint smile.

"So, villain?" Lance brought the conversation back again.

Kate smiled, "As long as it's a work you're directing, even if you just ask me to stand there and make a vase, I'm willing." However, what I'm more curious about is that this is a commercial movie like 'Murder with a Knife'? Or is it a commercial film like 'the day after tomorrow'? "The former is a very rigorous test of acting skills, and the failure of acting can lead to the fiasco of the whole movie; In the latter, computer special effects occupy the protagonist, and the presence of actors is more of a series of stories.

Lance's answer was intriguing, "I'm going to give myself a vacation." ”

Kate immediately understood, and nodded, "It's been so dark for so long, you really need to change your mood." One answer made both of them smile tacitly. How's that, are you ready to leave? Now everybody's in the 'groove'. ”

It's past midnight, it's quiet, the hustle and bustle of the Sunset Tower Hotel has gradually settled, it's not that people are starting to leave, but people are beginning to switch from collective carnival to privacy, and more people are already going into the corner in twos and threes for "secret conversations", or sitting on beach chairs whispering, it seems that everyone has found a "little friend" and entered the second phase of Oscar Night.

Lance smiled wryly, "There are still a few meetings to go. "Fury Road" wants to fight a bloody way in the summer file, this is not an easy task, in addition to Chaos Pictures' own efforts, it also needs the cooperation of the news media, Lance's mission tonight is not over, "Many times, I feel that I am no different from a phone girl, a phone call, on call." ”

Kate took another sip of whiskey, "Ha, if the phone girls are like you, and they call the police directly if they don't agree, then Hollywood is really a chicken." Putting the cup aside, Kate let out a long breath, "Okay, I have some tasks to do, otherwise my PR team will be scared again when I get home in the evening." After saying that, Kate didn't say anything more politely, pulled on her evening dress, and walked gracefully in the direction of the hall.

"Lance!" There was no need to wait, the shouts next to him immediately rang out, and Lance withdrew his gaze, turned his head with a smile, and began to socialize again.

The Oscar night organized by "Vanity Fair" obviously took more effort than the Oscar ceremony, and by the time Percy sent Lance back to his apartment, it was already half past three in the morning. When I opened the door, I saw Theo sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, a soft light supporting all the darkness around him, and the air was filled with the warmth of home, "What about them?" Lance untied his tie, took off his blazer, and looked around, but neither Ian nor Gawain were in sight.

"Rested." Theo put the newspaper on the table, got up and walked to the kitchen, "Ian is going to New York today, and there have been a lot of things there recently, so he will go to rest first." Theo explained simply, as for Gawain...... There's still no way he's getting rid of his habits as an athlete, even though it's been two months since he officially retired.

As he spoke, Theo walked out with a glass of warm honey water and handed it to Lance, "Gawain bought the cream cake. This is the meaning of the inquiry, they all know, it is estimated that Lance will not have time to eat tonight, Lance waved his hand, "I ate something at the Sunset Tower Hotel." Lance took the honey water and sat down on the sofa, feeling the softness of the whole person slowly sinking into the sofa, "Phew, the jet lag is still chaotic, and I'm not sure what time I am." "With a continuous long-haul flight, coupled with today's busyness, Lance only felt hollowed out.

"You can rest for a few days." Theo sat down on the single couch next to him and said in a deep voice.

Lance took a sip of honey water, "I want it too, but tonight the opportunity came to the door." After a pause, Theo didn't make any sound, just looked at Lance quietly, and Lance knew that Theo had always been like this, and it was not easy to whet his appetite, so Lance didn't continue to insist, and simply said, "Marvel Studios asked me to shoot their next work, the focus is to get rid of the big studios and work with us independently." ”

Even if he was as calm as Theo, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "Cooperation, how to cooperate?" ”

Ian's main job is now focused on short operations in New York, and he has exhausted all his energy in accumulating raw money for Chaos Pictures. So, Chaos Pictures is running under Theo's management for the time being. Although he is a lawyer, Theo's management ability is definitely not to be underestimated, and his focus is naturally different from that of Reims.

Lance placed the finished glass on the table, "They wanted us to invest in it, and then they did all the shooting, including the creative core and the production concept. But I wanted us to shoot together, and they would take the creative stake in the original creation and stringing of the script, and then the production would be left to us. ”

Theo's brows furrowed slightly, "So, you mean to hand over the initiative?" "Since the core of creation is made by Marvel Studios, isn't that equivalent to the chief producer?

Lance thought about it carefully, and there was something wrong with the way he expressed it just now, "No, it should be said that we build the framework of the entire Marvel Universe, and they write the script and conceive ideas, and then we will complete the shooting, which is more like we outsource part of the script to Marvel Studios." ”

In fact, this is the way mature large companies operate, they grasp the core lifeline, and then the details are handed over to different departments and different links to be responsible, for example, when Chaos Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox cooperate with "the day after tomorrow", and cooperate with Paramount to "kill people with a knife", it can be regarded as the case. In the future, after Disney's successful acquisition of Marvel, the same will work. However, there is a difference in that in the process of cooperation between Chaos Pictures and Marvel Studios, Lance will be the chief helmsman, holding the highest decision-making power, controlling the development direction of the Marvel Universe, and then leaving the details to the following team to do.

Theo immediately understood that Lance had put Chaos Pictures at a higher level, "However, we don't have such capabilities now. "Even according to estimates, Chaos Pictures will rely on the real estate bubble and financial crisis to grow rapidly next year, but compared to those large film companies with deep accumulation, Chaos Pictures is still not enough.

Lance rubbed his temples, a little tired, but his smile was very relaxed, "That's true, that's right. We're not Warner Bros., but Marvel Studios isn't the Chaos Pictures it used to be. (To be continued.) )
