As soon as he was straightening his tie and looking at his image in the mirror, Robert Downey Jr. looked at himself carefully, and after a long time, he nodded lightly and expressed satisfaction with his appearance.

You can do it, and you have absolutely no problem. You are the best actor, and you can pass this interview......

Standing in front of the mirror, he closed his eyes, and in the bottom of his heart, he kept saying encouraging words to himself.

It's just that no amount of inspirational language can hardly smooth out the turmoil in a person's heart. Now Donnie has countless thoughts in his heart, and it is very difficult to calm himself down.

It's ridiculous to think about it, as a child of an acting family, as an Oscar nominee, and as a person who has been able to occupy the headlines in Hollywood many times, and now when facing an interview, he still has to encourage himself like this. It's a joke to say such a thing, what a person like himself should do is to sit in his own home, let his agent go through a large number of film contracts, pick out what suits him, and then wait for the director to talk to him about the meaning of the movie......

But now those are gone.

Suddenly opening his eyes and glancing at his image again, Donnie nodded in satisfaction again. This time, I must not fail to interview for a role in the mystery company, which is an extremely important opportunity for myself.

It could even be said that this could be a turning point in his fate.

A month ago, when Downey received the news that Levy's Three-Body Problem 2 was looking for him to be the protagonist, Downey could hardly believe his ears. He had heard about the filming of the Three-Body Problem 2, and according to the media, the investment in this film may be as much as 300 million. A movie of 300 million, find yourself to be the starring role. It's incredible.

This movie is a real big-budget production, although the movie has not officially started filming yet, but all kinds of rumors are already flying all over the sky. In addition to its seemingly incredible investment and unimaginable scale of special effects production, the cast of this movie is also something that people have been talking about for a long time.

What kind of actors will be used in a movie with an investment of 300 million? The media is also very concerned about this issue. For Levy's crew's every move, they are reporting in detail. Downey has also heard people's discussions, in addition to the media confirming that Washington, who starred in the first part, will continue to appear in the second part, it has recently been confirmed that the famous British actor Ralph Fiennes will play an important role in this play, and this news can also be said to have caused a sensation.

"I've read the script and I'm interested in my character." At the time of the introduction, Ralph. Fiennes confirmed his casting, "And. I'm also looking forward to working with director Levy. Liam once told me about working with director Levy, and he spoke highly of director Levy, I think. Working with director Levy is also worth looking forward to. ”

Ralph Fiennes' confirmation of the role is something that the media has been focusing on lately. And it is said that in this movie, Levy also wants to invite Meryl Streep to play a supporting role, and is also interviewing Martin Sin. One movie can gather so many famous actors. It's also quite incredible.

And in this movie of the gathering of famous artists, the protagonist will be himself? If it weren't for the fact that the person who called him was a senior executive at Mystery, Downey would definitely think. This is teasing yourself.

With thoughts of disbelief, he also inquired around about the truth of this matter. And after a series of understandings, he also understood why.

What Director Levy is looking for is an actor with the image of a yuppie. There are many actors with this image in Hollywood in the past, but with the unprecedented development of news in the 90s, actors pay more attention to their own image, and they hope to create an image of a good gentleman in front of the audience. A good image can help a star get a lot of money, such as Julia. Roberts, her good image, is the guarantee of her first woman in Hollywood. And a poor image often gives people a lot of negative influences, such as Tom. Cruise, a dignified superstar because of faith issues, was hacked by the media and did not look like a person.

The post-60s stars of the same era as him pay great attention to their image. Depp, Pitt, Cage, when these people act, they don't mess with the image of the next amorous man. The audience sometimes can't tell the difference between life in and out of the play, they will take it seriously on the screen, Cruise was strongly asked by the audience not to play the villain role is an example, what role the actors play, they have to see if it will affect their image.

Nowadays, more and more actors prefer those who take care of their families, positive, and warm images. The image of a playboy and a romantic character is not conducive to their accumulation of popularity.

But this is exactly Donnie's advantage.

The image problem is a big trouble for others, but it is no longer a threat to yourself. The reason why others can't compete is because at least they still have a good image, but what about themselves? I have no image to speak of for a long time. For them, playing a playboy is an image injury, and for themselves, it is an image rescue.

Playboy, it's better than an addict.

The damage caused to oneself by drug abuse is not only physical, and Downey has long understood this. When he became famous, he couldn't see this, or he didn't want to worry about it when he saw it, anyway, he was confident enough to get it back, but as he fell into the abyss, he could see everything.

He once thought that he had money and would always be able to cope with trouble. But he ignored that the process of playing drugs is a process of burning money. He once thought that his father had a great reputation and his connections were all over Hollywood, but he forgot that when a person is entangled in drugs, even the best friends will avoid him. He once thought that even if there was nothing else, he still had talent to use, but talent could not be shown in a drowsy state, and his talent was exhausted by himself.

In a few years, when others were making a name for themselves with better media networks, he completely lost his reputation because of the media network.

Now, while everyone else is successful, he still has nothing. Pete and Clooney, who look like successful people all day long, have even begun to change careers behind the scenes, and they are already in their early 40s, but their reputations have long since disappeared.

However, from another aspect, this is good news: because the image of this character is not particularly good, those other actors will also be much more careful when taking over the film. I don't have any worries about this, and when I take over the play, the drama road will be wider. Hollywood movies are not always the same kind of role, just pick up those that others don't want to play.

For example, like this time, that's it, the image of a playboy, he is very willing to act. And this era is not all bad, at least this role does not have those long-established big names to compete with him, and Robert Downey Jr.'s confidence has increased a lot.

In the competition of acting skills, he has never been afraid of anyone, the only thing he is worried about is that someone relies on his greater fame, better market appeal, and better connections to seize his role. And now that those people are not coming back to compete, and their competitors are just some other little actors, Robert Downey Jr. can be regarded as immediately confident.

Everyone is fighting on the same starting line, and he will not be afraid.

For this interview, he gambled everything. Since he got the script in his hand a month ago, he has been preparing for this role. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been preparing for a role for three full weeks, and he had always pretended to be a genius before, how could he have worked so hard?

Even, through his friends, he wanted to inquire if Director Levy had more thoughts about his role that he hadn't written: if he could meet what the director didn't say when he was performing, then the director would be happy. It's just that few of his friends take his words seriously, and even his friends are all laughing at him.

"In order to raise some drug money, you are desperate enough."

The jokes of my friends are still in my ears. He didn't blame them - they had tried to persuade him when he first started touching the drugs, but he hadn't listened. In the past few years, I have either struggled with drugs or spent time in prison. Who will take care of you if you spoil yourself? Over the years, I have deceived them more than once, and I have ruined their trust more than once, and it is strange that they are willing to believe in themselves.

If you have ruined your reputation, you have to pick it up yourself. If you want people to look down on yourself, you have to be self-motivated.

He knows that this movie is likely to be his hope to turn over.

With a strong confidence, Donnie strode into the set. Instead of preparing for a formal interview, Levy decided to meet him on the set. He knew that this was because Levy wanted to confirm whether he had gotten rid of drug dependence, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if his personal temperament was good when he left the stage.

He knew that he had to act like he could impress the director.

Far away, he had already seen the director. On the director's side, the two actors, Denzel Washington and Ralph Fiennes, were also there.

And this also made Donnie immediately know what to do to be able to impress them.

He walked straight over, didn't care about the two big-name actors, and directly intervened with them.

"Good morning, everyone. Introduce yourself, I'm Robert Downey Jr., a genius, a jerk, a junkie. I'm here for women and money, guys, don't let me down. ”

His words made Levi turn his head, and when Levi turned his head, Donnie was immediately sure that he had not disappointed him at least. (To be continued......)
