The character of Iron Man Tony Stark, the prototype comes from the male protagonist of "The Aviator", Howard Hughes, in short, this is a rich, bold, profligate, wind/flow/suave/fu character, after reading Howard's biography, people often think that this is a fictional fiction, but he is real. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info many times, reality is much more exciting than fiction.

In the last life, Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man, who won the love of many fans. Robert's temperament is very special, he is not a typical handsome guy, restricted by height, and his temperament is not particularly outstanding, but he has a kind of funny and retro comedy star in the silent film era, which is also an important reason why he was selected to play "Chaplin", he may not be an excellent acting actor, but he is very good at using his own characteristics to give the role a unique vitality.

It can be said that Robert is a genre actor, his acting routine is relatively simple, almost everything can be said to be the same, but if you find the right positioning, in a specific role, his acting routine will shine - Iron Man is one of them, Guy Ritchie (Guy-Ritchie) version of Sherlock Holmes is also one of them, which is why after the success of "Iron Man" in 2008, it can be said that Robert basically only played these two roles, His limitations are far greater than Johnny Depp's.

Robert gave the character of Iron Man an approachable and comical attribute and a sense of vulnerability, especially a serious sense of humor, which made the character come alive. It can be said that Robert's version of "Iron Man" later became the stylistic foundation of the entire Marvel work.

So what if Tom Cruise plays Iron Man?

Aside from "killing people with a knife", Tom's movie screen image is mostly righteous, energetic, and tough, but Tom's plasticity is higher, and his breakthrough in character image can be seen in works such as "Night Interview with Vampire" and "Magnolia". Although Tom shows amorous qualities in the "Mission Impossible" series, Tom is not suitable for playing the kind of playboy who is ruthless, his appearance is not convincing, and his performance does not reach such heights.

However, Tom can give Iron Man more evil/charm/temperament, that dangerous aura that wanders on the edge of morality, especially the courage and courage to dance on the line between good and evil, which will undoubtedly be a big attraction - Tony Stark is a weapons manufacturer on the one hand, and his company itself is closely related to war; On the one hand, he is a superhero, trying to save the world from fire and water, so in his body, you can see the breath of decisiveness, and the interests of a small number of people can be sacrificed for the future of most people, this kind of temperament of both good and evil will undoubtedly make this character more three-dimensional and more deep.

If Tom plays Iron Man, the humor will undoubtedly be reduced, but the depth of the story will be more digging.

This was the first time Lance really started thinking about "Iron Man" as a title. But "Iron Man" is not so simple, because this is the first cornerstone of the official construction of the Marvel Universe, and the style of the work will have a profound impact on the follow-up, and it will also become an important beginning for Marvel to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Whether to choose Robert or Tom would mean a change of style, and Lance would have to think about other options - what if his script was so far from his predecessor?

However, one of Lance's questions was finally answered, why Robert was so proactive yesterday, even at the expense of breaking into the studio, he had apparently heard about Tom's intentions. Compared with Tom, Robert now has almost no advantage, not to mention considering Tom's personal relationship with Lance, Robert must take the initiative if he wants to get the "Iron Man" project in his hands.

Thoughts swirled around in his mind, and Lance smiled, "The rumors in the circle really don't have quiet time. This is the second time he sighed, but the meaning is different, this time he is obviously complaining, the wind leaks too fast. Tom couldn't help laughing, "but I mean really," Lance continued, "I haven't made a decision yet." I have two projects to choose from right now, and I shouldn't be in a hurry to decide until the end of the summer season. What's more, Theo and Ian have not been idle recently, they are actively preparing for the next negotiations, so everything is in order and cannot be rushed.

"Universal Pictures?" Tom actually heard the wind too, and looking at the corners of Lance's slightly pursed mouth, Tom chuckled, "There is a steady stream of news about your every move. However, the news from Universal Pictures is much more closed, and it is only known that they have been in contact with Lance, but there is no clue about the specific project.

"So you're coming to me today just for 'Iron Man'?" Lance dodged the question of Universal Pictures, which involved the plans of the entire Marvel Universe, and Lance would not easily leak the news.

Tom nodded in acknowledgment, "It would be great if I could work with you again." I can't wait, and of course, I'm willing to wait until the end of the summer. ”

This time Lance didn't answer immediately, but thought about it carefully. To be honest, between "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", Lance needs to make a choice, but it does not mean that he will give up another work, if nothing else, Lance intends to direct one of them, and the other will serve as a producer, he will still check the quality of the film and ensure that the entire Marvel Universe can be connected.

Therefore, if Tom wants to play "Iron Man", Lance can still give a little opinion.

"I only have a bit of a framework for this project, and I want to make the whole work more relaxed and lively, even funny. This also means that the character of Tony Stark will also be slightly changed and become more ...... Flim is a little more flamboyant, or a little more humorous. Lance briefly expressed his thoughts, and seeing that Tom seemed to have something to say, Lance raised his right hand to stop him, and continued, "During the performance, since this is not a comedy performance, it is more dependent on the lines, so it is not a problem. But in the process of publicity, I hope that the actors can put down their shelves, and in the interview process, they will be more humorous, more intimate, and even occasionally make silliness. ”

Lance is not referring specifically to the character of Iron Man, but to the publicity strategy of the entire Marvel Universe in general. In the follow-up works of the Marvel Universe, every actor is like this, with media publicity, he does not hesitate to disillusion himself, funny or funny, through the image shaping of real life, people automatically associate the actor with the brand of Marvel movies, and even confuse the boundary between the character and the actor, when you see the character on the big screen, you will naturally think of the actor's spoof during the promotion, and the sense of humor is equal between the virtual and the real, and the character image truly evolves into a part of the actor's image.

The box office of Marvel movies is becoming more and more stable, but the development path of actors is getting narrower and narrower, in fact, this is the reason. With the exception of Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson, the rest of the actors are like this: there are many works outside of Marvel, but few have left traces.

Tom plays Iron Man, which is not a problem in itself, it mainly depends on Lance's script setting, and then decides whether to choose Tom or Robert; But in the process of publicity, Tom's idol baggage will undoubtedly become a shackle, and even if Lance does not have any ideas for the "Iron Man" script at the moment, this problem can be foreseen in advance.

Tom muttered for a moment, "So, you're saying, I want to extend the character image to real life, and I hope I can be more open-minded, humorous, and even occasionally embarrassed." ”

Lance shrugged, and when Tom was only a little excited during the interview, Wade began to control it in a hurry. Therefore, it is definitely not so easy to want Tom to break the shackles of twenty years of image. As for the "murder with a knife" - one thing on the big screen, another thing in real life.

"I think you should go back and talk to the team." Lance wasn't going to give Tom advice, "If you're going to be the producer of 'Iron Man,' you can also refer to my opinion. However, there is no need to rush for now, post-production of Fury Road will be completed for another two weeks, after which I will start working on the framework of the script, and I don't know when I will start writing it. ”

Tom's eyes flashed slightly, he probably understood what Lance meant, and it had been confirmed between the lines - if nothing else, "Iron Man" was already tied to Lance, but if Tom was going to go this way, he really needed to discuss it with the team. "Post-production was done so quickly?" Tom followed Lance to change the topic, "When will the fourth wave of viral videos be uploaded?" I took a look at the results on the spot today, and I can't wait to see how others react. ”

"I'm not sure, it's probably the first week of April." Lance's words were also relaxed, the publicity effect of the previous three waves of viral videos far exceeded expectations, so Chaos Pictures is not in a hurry, the official publicity will be in full swing in April, and after the fourth wave of viral videos is released, the trailer will be released accordingly, and the mystery will be revealed layer by layer.

"This time the trailer will be released, right?" Tom asked curiously, and after receiving an affirmative answer from Lance, he chuckled, "Now everyone's appetite is high, and if the trailer is not announced, it is estimated that everyone will be suffocated." But even without a trailer, I can assert that this will be a fantastic movie. ”

"You can say this kind of content twice more in an interview." Lance's bluntness made Tom nod repeatedly, "No problem, of course no problem." (To be continued.) )
