In the past two months, the information of "Iron Man" has been boiling and dazzling, and with the continuous rise of the box office curve of "Fury Road", this work has become more and more popular, and Tony Stark has become the ultimate target of all actors almost overnight.

Whether it is "Spider-Man" or "X-Men", although it has achieved remarkable results in recent years, the former has allowed Tobey Maguire to successfully enter the first line, although it did not reach the 20 million club, but also successfully got a salary of 10 million; The latter made Hugh Jackman popular with Wolverine, and his popularity skyrocketed, and he finally gained a foothold in Hollywood. However, when selecting actors in these two works, they still target unfamous actors, and even use many new actors in "X-Men".

On the one hand, from the producer's point of view, they are willing to use second- and third-tier actors because it saves money; On the one hand, from the perspective of actors, starring in comic book adaptation movies is also a very cheap behavior - after all, comics are non-mainstream two-dimensional otaku culture, and no "Hollywood tough guy" wants to be involved with such a role, and comic superheroes are considered to be "male vases", and only "gays" are willing to act.

But now, "Iron Man" Tony Stark has become the hottest character in all of Hollywood, and everyone wants to play this role - this is obviously not because of how attractive the series is, even Superman and Batman are not so charismatic, in the end, they are still coming for Lance.

In the blink of an eye, the number of auditioning actors has risen to twenty-four, not including Leonardo DiCaprio, who came to make trouble, as well as Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Jon felt his temples start to ache in the rush of auditions, and he couldn't even remember if it was twenty-four or twenty-six, let alone the faces and performances of each actor—he should have taken notes if he had known that was the case.

Raising his head, Jon saw Lance sitting next to him, holding a glass of single malt whiskey, slowly enjoying the amber artwork, his expression was stretched and contented, and he couldn't find the slightest trace of tiredness, which made Jon pull the corners of his mouth helplessly, and exhaled softly, "Lance, so?" ”

"So?" Lance gently shook the glass in his hand, and the translucent liquor shimmered with different halos due to the changing angle of light refraction, which was intoxicating.

"Huh." Jon laughed dumbly, "What do you think of Sam Worthington?" ”

Lance raised his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?" "Jon is the director, and his opinion is what matters.

"......" Jon shrugged his shoulders, his words choking a little, "I think his temperament is too tough, and it's too rough, and it doesn't have the mixed feeling of Tony Stark." Lance nodded slightly, as if to give a little encouragement, which opened Jon's mind a little, "Will Smith's words, he's good, he's great, he obviously doesn't have any barriers to playing a superhero, and his comedy style fits the movie very well, to be honest, I can't think of any shortcomings in him." But ......" Jon hesitated a little, and after getting Lance's affirmative gaze, he hesitated to say, "but he's black, I'm not sure, the first movie boldly used black people to play superheroes, is this too big a step......" Before the words were finished, Jon was a little flustered in Lance's playful gaze, and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, I'm not racist, I mean...... I mean, there's another government/government hero in Iron Man armor in the script, and we could totally arrange for blacks, but Tony Stark...... Will was clearly reluctant to accept the position of a supporting role. ”

Lance chuckled, looked at Jon's empty expression, nodded and gave affirmation, Marvel and DC, the two major comic book companies, did not appear black superheroes until 2015, the black version of "Fantastic Four 2015" Thunderbolt is considered to have opened up a new field, and then Black Panther will also become another black superhero on the big screen, and then Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man and other important characters are also expected to be succeeded by black people. But at the moment in 2006, it's better not to take too big a step, after all, "Iron Man" is not a "berserk road". "And what about Sam-Rockwell?"

"Actually, I think he's a good fit." Jon nodded, "Although the height is not satisfactory, it ...... His temperament is indeed very close to the character. Sam is about the same height as Robert Downey Jr., and even a centimeter shorter, but Sam's acting skills are even better, three years ago, he won the best Venetian actor with his "Confessions of Dangerous Thoughts", and his temperament of both good and evil allows him to move between many different roles, "So what do you think of James Franco?" Although he has starred in 'Spider-Man''s little green goblin, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, he will give the youth version of Iron Man some bohemian temperament. ”

"Then it's up to you." Lance was still not directly involved in the selection of actors. In the script of "Iron Man", there is no age set, but on the whole, Tony Stark has become an arms dealer and established a company, so this is not like "Spider-Man" is a campus youth work, and Tony is too young to be convincing.

Despite this, there are still many actors under the age of thirty, such as James Franco, Ryan Reynolds, and John Krasinski, after all, they represent potential stocks, unlike Robert Downey Jr. and Sam Rockwell, who have had a large number of works that have left a fixed impression before, and there are still some obstacles to reshaping the image.

"Phew, actually, the perfect candidate for my little pepper is Rachel-McAdams." Jon's eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at Lance, "I don't know, can you use your name to let Rachel join our crew?" ”

"Sweet Canadian sister." Lance thought about it seriously, Rachel McAdams and Gwyneth Paltrow, I have to admit that Jon's vision is very unique, and Rachel plays Pepper, which has a different flavor. So, Lance nodded, "It's a good choice." If you're sure, I'll ask Cole to give Rachel's agent a call tomorrow. As long as the success of "Iron Man" can be guaranteed, Lance is more than happy to participate in every aspect of it. "So, you want to choose James Franco and Rachel as a partner?"

If you choose a young actor, Lance is actually more optimistic about Ryan Reynolds. This Canadian-born actor is not only handsome in appearance, but also has certain highlights in his acting skills, such as "Buried Alive" and "Bloody Lonely Words". Ryan's temperament of being windy/flowing/suave/flamboyant does have something in common with Iron Man, however, Ryan always seems to lack a little luck, starring in "Green Lantern" but hitting the streets, except for the "fake marriage" in 2009, he has never become popular, and it was not until the movie "Deadpool" that he came out.

But Lance is a little vague about the current point in time, and Ryan doesn't seem to have any work so far, just from Canada to Hollywood. Lance wasn't sure what Ryan's acting abilities were.

Jon didn't answer immediately, glancing at Lance and stopping. It can be seen that he actually already has a draft in his heart, but because he is afraid of Lance, he is still a little hesitant. Lance couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "You've already made a decision?" ”

Jon waved his hand, "It's not a good decision. "But it's someone in mind," I think......" Jon paused hesitantly, "what do you think of Robert Downey Jr.?" Or Ryan Reynolds? ”

Lance lowered his jaw slightly, I have to say that Jon's vision is indeed unique, and he has his own understanding of the script of "Iron Man". Just like choosing Rachel as Pepper, Robert and Ryan are the two candidates, Lance also feels that they are very in place, and different actors will match different styles.

"If you choose Robert, although his height is an issue, his maturity and stability, and that ruffian flavor, are very suitable. It's a shame that he doesn't have the dashing style/flow of Howard Hughes. Jon choked slightly, his eyes showed regret, in fact, he is really close to Howard Hughes, Leonardo DiCaprio does have the special temperament of that golden age, but Leonardo and "Iron Man" still don't fit in with the funny style, and it is overkill to let Leonardo play "Iron Man", "If you choose Ryan, there is no problem with his appearance, it can even be said to be perfect, and his temperament is also very appropriate, however, he is too young, he is just thirty years old this year, I'm not sure he's up to the job of Tony Stark's entrepreneur. ”

Lance nodded in affirmation, "Then, you'll have them come over for the second audition another day." ”

Jon didn't react for a while, although Lance gave him the choice of actors, but he never expected that things would go so smoothly. Look at today's audition process, twenty-four actors, all of whom have iron-fisted agents behind them, and all kinds of connections and interests are intertwined, including even top names like Will Smith - he is now a member of the 20 million club, but Lance made a decision so neatly and adopted his opinion, which made Jon really stunned.

"Really?" Jon couldn't help but repeat it, thinking he was hallucinating.

Lance smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative reply, and then he saw an excited look in Jon's eyes, which was a good thing, he needed Jon to be "obedient". From chess pieces to chess players, the vision and perspective are quietly changing, "So, do you have any ideas about villains?" (To be continued.) )
