Before coming to the crew, Donnie had imagined countless times what he needed to show. How to do all of this at the beginning of the meeting and leave a deep impression on the director is also something he has been considering. Downey knows that he is not a person who has a good reputation in Hollywood, and it is not good for him to stand up in front of the director. Showing his cynicism, optimism and positive side with his charm is his only chance.

From before he met the director, he thought about what to do. He had watched Levy's movies and knew how Levy viewed the disadvantaged, and he knew that in front of Levy, it was far better to generously admit his drug history than to hide it and refuse to say it. In front of this director, what he needs to do is not to show a rehabilitated appearance, but to really show that he has completed the rehabilitation, and he is optimistic and positive.

At the same time, he also has to show his humor and informality moderately. Not to mention that there are no women in the crew, even if there are really women, if you want to show your playboy side, you can't hook up with women in the crew. Therefore, his cynicism must be expressed by his sense of humor, self-deprecation and demeanor.

Donnie is very well prepared for his appearance, although he is 40 years old and has a lot of wrinkles because of the medication. looks old, but he was born in Hollywood and is used to seeing all kinds of love stories, and he also knows very well that the charm of a man is not in his appearance but in his demeanor. After having enough demeanor, all he needs is some sense of humor to build his image.

And besides, he just needs to prove that even if he is in a group of actors, he will be the focus of the crowd. Compared to the others. It's not too easy to prove, but fortunately, in this place, the presence of two stars gave him this opportunity.

directly got rid of the two people, ignored them, introduced himself to the director, and directly revealed his ugly things with some self-deprecation, and told his past. With such an attitude, he asked himself to be absolutely the best.

And what he did was obviously very good. When Director Levy turned to look at him, he also saw appreciation.

"Mr. Donnie. You're welcome here, but, I suppose I can only meet your monetary requirements, and you'll probably have to be half disappointed. ”

Levy stood up. Greeting him, Donnie shrugged with a smile and pulled a chair to sit down on himself. He could see it. Levy admired him, so to speak, he was already halfway through his role.

Levy's reaction made him feel reassured.

"If you have money, you don't have to worry about anything else. I can handle women's affairs myself. "Lie down, you know the joke in moderation," okay, tell me, what do I need to do for the money? Do you want to test my memory of the script? Believe me, I'm very well prepared, just find a sentence in the script, as long as you read it, I can follow along. ”

Downey opened his mouth confidently, on the one hand, he still wanted to look like an arrogant genius, and on the other hand, he knew that this was also telling the director that he had indeed prepared the script carefully and seriously.

Three weeks was enough time for him to read the few scripts he had at hand many times. He believed that he could memorize everything in that paragraph.

And now, he's going to show that well.

"Prepared with such confidence? Looks like maybe we're really going to have to add one more actor. Hearing his words, Levy did not go to the school again, but raised his head and opened his mouth to Washington next to him.

Glancing at Donnie, however, Washington diverted from the topic.

"Oh? Did Ms. Streep decide to star? ”

Denzel. Washington heard Levy say that another person had agreed to join, and he was immediately interested.

These days, there have been rumors that Meryl. Streep will also be involved in the filming of the film. As Hollywood's premier actress, although her joining may not be able to increase the box office much, it can definitely raise people's expectations for the movie.

"No, she's still talking to the crew. She has a lot of film appointments, and the time is not easy to adjust, and our film shooting time is relatively long, and the time is not easy to adjust, she basically decided to star, but on the issue of time, it has not been determined. ”

Fiennes, who was on the side, also opened his mouth at this time, and he explained Streep's situation in a serious manner, completely ignoring Donnie.

In fact, they already knew this.

Meryl. Streep is not quite like a couple of other actors here. Although her movies are generally not particularly good at the box office, she can always have very good reviews when she acts, which also makes many movies like to use her. If you want to participate in a blockbuster, it always takes a lot of time, and The Lord of the Rings faced this situation at the beginning, and now Three-Body Problem 2 is also facing this situation. Streep doesn't have that much time to spend here, so she needs to adjust her time as well.

They're deliberately teasing Donnie right now.

"Guys, I'm still here!" Donnie looked at them and spoke.

"Oh, Nick, you're talking about Donnie? That's no problem, for enough money, he will definitely work hard, for some money to find a woman, let alone a script, let him memorize anything. ”

Washington, who seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, also opened his mouth at this time.

Hearing his words, Donnie listened to him with some caution. He knew that his status was easy to annoy, and the way he did things today was not particularly likable, and he was worried that Washington would say something that would cause him trouble when he spoke. He is a veteran actor who was in the crew at the beginning of the film, and he has a very high status in Hollywood, if he doesn't want to cooperate with himself, then the trouble he faces will obviously be very big. Even if you are a director, you always have to consider the opinions of important actors.

Fortunately, apparently he said that he was messing around with the hotel and women when he was arrested, but he didn't use drugs to talk about it, and he still saved face for himself. Although this matter is also a relatively embarrassing ugly thing, it is nothing compared to the embarrassing things he really did.

Downey turned his head, and there was a teasing look on his face, and it was clear that he wasn't trying to fix himself. On the contrary, when he said these words, it was more like he wanted to deal with himself well, so as to get along better with the crew.

After confirming it, he spoke again, "At least, I paid for it." As a star like me, it is not easy to seduce young actors indiscriminately, but to find women and pay. ”

"It's incredible that normal people would be ashamed to pay for a woman, that is, you, and be able to be proud......"

The two of them quarreled with each other, and Ralph Fiennes, who was standing on the side, crossed his arms and smiled at them.

He knew that these two people had a lot of rivalry in the play, and when they were joking, they were actually showing each other's tacit understanding and acting skills in front of Levy, so that Levi had a better understanding of them.

Each actor has his own characteristics of acting, and everyone's characteristics are different. Sometimes, it is not uncommon for a play to change a lot of lines because of the change of actors, and their dialogue can actually be regarded as showing themselves in front of Levy.

And Fiennes also joined the battle group in time at this time, "Mr. Levy, are you sure that these people in your crew can play well?" I know a few good actors, how about introducing them to you? Replacing them is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

In the movie, Fiennes played the person who was somewhat black-bellied, and at this time, he was provoked as soon as he opened his mouth, and he also played such a role, these people, all of them were looking for their own roles, which also made Levy laugh on the side.

It seems that his own movie should be able to shoot very well.

Levy's smile, Donnie saw it in his eyes, and he was even more relieved. If before he walked into the studio, he just thought that this movie was his turnaround, then after walking in, he was very sure that he had to shoot this scene.

Everything about this play is so fascinating.

He was amazed by the fact that the cameras were 3D stand cameras, new orbital and rocker equipment, the ubiquitous lighting to create effects, the studio scenes that had been set up in the cosmic environment, and the recently designed spacesuits and models of spaceships.

And when you look up, there are digital cameras everywhere on the roof. As a rough calculation, there are probably more than 100 numbers on the camera. Downey knew that the function of these things was to transmit the capture data through the reflection of the near-infrared spectrum played by the LEDs on the scene, and use the spectral reflection and the movement of the actors to combine and analyze the diorama of the lens - these things, he had only heard of, but now, he could actually see them.

Such a crew is much stronger than a small crew, and acting in such a scene will make you feel sincerely excited as an actor! (To be continued......)
