"So, you're the famous Pepa. Potts, "In the fusion of close-up and long-range green screens, Leslie plays the role of Vanity Fair's beautiful reporter Christina. Bieber said with a smile, casually flicking her dyed blonde hair and staring at a calm Pepa with a challenging look. Potts. Just fall in love with WwW. LＷＸＳ５２０。 ＣＯＭ

“indeed。” Jenny also made a gesture, her style is very similar to the comic style, they are all well-cut suits and skirts, and her natural blonde hair is also dyed red, which is also the advantage of manga movies, the character image does not need to be made out of nothing, sometimes it is enough to make a slight modification, and the director does not have to make the final decision, so the preliminary preparations can be carried out at the same time, of course, this also means that the director has less right to speak, and the producer has a higher degree of participation.

"After all these years, does Tony still let you pick up his dry cleaned clothes?" Christina Bitch said angrily, expressing a sense of superiority, but the actual purpose was of course to defeat Tony's most trusted celebrity - and of course the woman who had been around him for the longest time.

Pepper, who had always been friendly and professional, smiled with ease, and replied with a pun in the same tone, "I'll do whatever Mr. Stark asks me to do, including the garbage he leaves behind from time to time—is there anything else you can do?" ”

“cut！ good！ "Director Jon. Favreau, who is also the actor of Harpy in "Iron Man", picked up the guide tube with satisfaction and exclaimed, "Very good - take a five-minute break, let me go next door and have a look, and then we will shoot the next scene of this set." ”

Unlike the general crew, "Iron Man" has a lot of post-special effects content, which also makes Donnie's performance quite easy, many times he doesn't even need to put on props and costumes, just put on face makeup - because the clips of Iron Man flying in the sky are all special effects, and in the shooting, a transparent hood is used for Donnie, and then only close-ups are taken, so when Jenny shoots the shots with her as the main shot, Downey doesn't have to be idle, just shoot these simple close-ups in the studio next door, because the literary drama of "Iron Man" is not rich, at least these close-ups do not even need to adjust the camera position, they only need to read the lines, and the martial arts drama is almost all based on special effects production, so the shooting difficulty is not high, and most of the close-ups can be supervised by the assistant director, with several sets of shots, without having to be the director in everything. This also results in better cost savings and shortens the overall shooting cycle.

In order to create the luxury of this contemporary rich home, the crew is not ambiguous at all, half of it is sponsorship, half of it is rent-out to build a living room full of high-end brand furniture, and a lot of the crew's props budget is spent on rent. Even the actors have to be very careful when filming in this living room, and the director can use less of these expensive furniture, so "Iron Man" is not filmed in chronological order, but at the same time as finding out all the scenes related to Jenny, they are sorted according to the order of the scenes, and they have been filming office scenes for the past few days (there are a lot of expensive furniture and knick-knacks), and today I will shoot the living room scene, the scene just filmed, although it is Pepa's first appearance, but in fact they have filmed dozens of scenes, has been filming for almost half a month, and Jenny's scenes are almost finished.

Jon went to inspect the next door, and soon got Downey back after shooting some close-ups, and the two played some simple dialogue scenes in the living room, and the morning's work was over, and in the afternoon, Downey and Jeff, who played the villain, were over. After the Bridges show, the set is dismantled and the furniture is returned to the brand so that it doesn't have to pay a hefty storage fee in the warehouse.

"I've heard someone is in a good shape this morning," said Robert Jr. at lunchtime. Donnie sat down across from Jenny and teased with a smile, "Jon came over this morning with a spring breeze on his face, and I see how much he loves you to death." ”

Although Jenny and he had never met before, the two had many acquaintances in common, for example, they were both with George. Clooney has worked with David Clooney. Finch has some friendship. In the closed circle of the entertainment industry, after reaching a certain height, everyone really knows everyone, plus Downey himself is charming and funny, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people to support him all the time, so Jenny and he got acquainted quite quickly, and they also cooperated tacitly in the filming - although judging from the finished effect, Jenny does not guarantee that she will be much better than Gwyneth's performance, but she and Downey are obviously more compatible in emotional scenes. Because Gwyneth has 175, and Downey only has 174 even if he falsely reports it, the two of them are not too compatible in height, at this point, Jenny of 167 still has a very advantage, if you play with a tall actor, you don't feel short in high heels, and when you play with a short actor, you can wear flat-heeled slippers, and you can also set off Downey more majestic.

"Each other, each other." Jenny smiled and said, "It feels like you're also here for a vacation, did they just let you sit and act this morning?" ”

"No wonder people love commercial films so much." Downey jokingly said, "It's like a vacation, and there's money to take -- who wouldn't want to act?" ”

Although this is a joke, it is somewhat true, but Pepa. Potts is indeed the easiest role Jenny has ever played, and even if her film debut, Kitty, is counted, Pepa still ranks last in terms of difficulty and depth of portrayal, and the same is true for Robert Jr. It's not that "Iron Man" is not a good movie, but this movie does have no connotation and theme, or the themes it explores are too shallow, like actors of Robert Jr. and Jenny, dealing with Tony. Stark and Pepa. Potts, it's not hard to talk about at all. No matter how much acting skills you have, in this role where the full score is 20 points, you can only show the effect of 20 points, and if you have more, it will be too much, so it's really OK to act casually, you have to play very deeply, maybe the director will shout cards.

Of course, compared with Tony, Pepper is less difficult and has less room to play, and she is also the first role Jenny plays who claims to be the heroine, but in fact only has a vase scene. Although she also played Elizabeth before, this role seems to be a vase in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but Elizabeth still undertakes the task of promoting the plot, and her connection with the main plot and the theme of the movie is very deep, in this sense, the "Pirates" series should be three starring actors, and the starring role of "Iron Man" is only Downey alone, Jenny has to do just to be cool in the scenes where she is present, this is the whole meaning of her character's existence.

In the past, when I was an audience, of course, I didn't think about it so much, but now as an actor and producer, I look at the comic movies I watched in the past, and Jenny feels that the actress's living space will further shrink in the following era: in 2014, when she traveled back, the total box office in North America was almost the same as ten years ago, at most it was only inflated by hundreds of millions of dollars, but because of the popularity of 3D movies, ticket prices have risen, and the box office of 3D movies is often easy to soar, and this can be launched A very simple reason - As home TVs become more and more high-definition, projectors are getting cheaper and cheaper, and those movies that don't sell special effects are attracting fewer and fewer elements to the cinema, but special effects movies can easily achieve jaw-dropping results in North America and the world if they are paired with a relatively simple and easy, enough story for all ages. It can be said that "Pirates" is the forerunner of this matching, "Avatar" is the peak, and the Marvel Universe is the culmination of this matching. Their manga adaptation film is a collection of 3D visual effects, well-known characters and light-hearted plots, and it is completely a big kill in the commercial market, with a global average of 500 million or 600 million, and 400 million is considered bad. At least in the year she traveled over, it seems that the craze for comic film adaptation will continue, and it should not retreat in five or six years. - However, it is the trend of such an era, but the space left for actresses is very small, and it can be said that in the field of comic films, the presence of actresses has been weakened for the first time to the point of seeming to be nothing, and they have been completely and completely reduced to a vase within a vase.

Of course, this is not to say that there were no actresses in the previous visual blockbusters who came out to play soy sauce and serve as vases, obviously, Catherine. Zeta-Jones in "The Sky Trap", by Hallie. Berry is a coquettish vase in "Operation Swordfish", but since the "Iron Man" series, the love scenes of manga blockbusters have been reduced all the way, and the more love scenes, the worse the reputation of the film, the heroine's presence is so low that people wonder if there is such a character "Captain America 2" has a good reputation, and "Avengers 2", which has no love scenes, has a good reputation, on the contrary, "The Amazing Spider-Man", which is full of love, has not been optimistic since the first part, and the second part is directly word-of-mouth box office. was scolded so that the third part was directly far away, and the love scene was second to "Extraordinary", and the heroine's sense of presence was also quite strong, and the reputation of the "Thor" series was relatively the worst, the darling Natalie. Portman received Waterloo-style general bad reviews, which is of course also because the quality of the scripts of the "Thor" series is unusual, and it is an 'unfavored child', but it also fully reflects the changes in the audience's movie-watching psychology: the audience doesn't want to watch superheroes fall in love, engage in those vulgar romantic dramas, and doubt themselves for the sake of women's pain, they want to watch superheroes cool battles.

There is no right or wrong in the psychology of the audience, and it is also the duty of commercial films to satisfy the audience, so the more you go on, the fewer love scenes in the special effects blockbuster, and compared to Anne in "Interstellar", who can still have her own backstory and her own choice. Hathaway, comic adaptations are congenitally deficient in arranging 'non-love scenes' for the heroine - all personal hero films are actually a theme, that is, the hero's self-identity and self-growth, to put it bluntly, how do you become a hero as a mortal, in the hero films of the early century such as "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", the love scene is one of the triggers for the hero's growth and reflection, and the heroine has also gained abundant scenes, but now, this triger has been eliminated by the market, The emotional trigger of the hero's growth has become family affection and friendship, and the status of the heroine has been marginalized because of this, they have no role in the plot, even if they want to reluctantly stuff the shots, it will only cause an imbalance in the structure of the entire film.

Pepper incarnates a female beating in "Iron Man 3", Carter, the heroine of "Captain America 1", is a cold and hard female officer, and the most and most abundant scenes in the Marvel Universe are the female black widows who fight women without love scenes, in fact, the screenwriters are trying to cope with this change and want to add scenes to the heroine, but the effect of this approach is just general, a good example is that in the opening stage, "Iron Man" can invite Gwyneth. Paltrow, Thor can find Natalie. Portman, but the more you go on, the more difficult it is to find a heroine with real acting skills and Otie strength in the new series, of course, because Marvel has figured out where the salary should be spent, but also because the actress's team has analyzed the pros and cons of starring in these series: it doesn't hinder the career, but it obviously doesn't help the career much.

Jenny is not a very tough feminist, she doesn't have much interest in these political concepts, but she doesn't like this trend either, obviously, this will increase the status gap between actors and actresses, without such a fast upward channel, the number of notable actresses in Hollywood will definitely be less than that of male actors year by year, and over time, the result of actresses not being able to get their hands on such a large piece of box office cake will also be fed back to the glass ceiling above the actress's head, and she has to climb up against this ceiling, of course, More importantly, judging from the investment process of "Iron Man" and "Avatar", in front of the real big project, Big Dream's investment and her appearance will still form a binding relationship, if history is allowed to move forward as she remembers, within a few years after "Iron Man", people will know that the actress is neither responsible for the box office nor the popularity in the manga project, so it is not uncommon for people to star in her - so Da Meng basically can't get involved in manga projects other than "Iron Man". This is also the reason why she wants to take the ship of "Iron Man" in vain, to put it bluntly, Marvel is not yet in the climate at this time, and she has no bottom in her heart, so it is better to fool her......

Before joining the group, Jenny was so busy that she flew up, and many of her ideas were vague and not yet fully formed, just doing it by feeling, but during the time she was preparing for "Iron Man", including the filming of the group, and in the process of rewatching those blockbusters in the Marvel Universe, these ideas were also clear one by one, forming a complete line of thought: In Harry. After Berry's "Catwoman" was miserable, no film company dared to open a single female superhero movie, and Black Widow could only perform martial arts in other people's movies. Lawrence won the movie, and the box office ability was also proved by "The Hunger Games", but even so, Fox refused to open a biography, but just tried his best to add drama to her in the main biography and squeeze her box office value - if history goes on like this, except for these two special reasons for the rise of women, it is likely that no actress will benefit from the comic movie, and if she wants to try her best to change this reality, then the only thing she can do is to adapt a female superhero movie and star herself, if she can make a big hit, Then the market will naturally give back, and the Black Widow and the Demon Girl Gaiden may be opened, and then, needless to say, once this market is formed, there will be no worries about others starting to follow suit, and she can also sit on a series that makes a lot of money, and while collecting money for the big dream, her status in the actor industry should be able to go further and sit firmly in the super A.

Of course, if this movie is also a hit on the street, then Jenny has nothing to say, she is willing to gamble and lose, at least she has done what she can do, since she can't adapt it, she can only admit failure, admit her, or admit that the actress is so unlucky that she can't eat the meal of comic movies.

"I can only say that I have this idea." She and Downey had talked about similar topics before, so while the two were having dinner and discussing the current status of comic movies, Downey also took the opportunity to ask about the idea she had mentioned before, and Jenny said frankly, "I haven't started looking for specific candidates yet, so this is really just a very preliminary idea, but yes, I'm already looking forward to it." ”

"Don't let the critics hear that," Downey laughed heartily, "another Harry. Berry? Film critics will die of heartache. ”

After taking the queen before, Hallie. Berry went to make commercial films, which did disappoint many film critics who hoped that she would continue to star in in-depth movies, for film critics, although Berry was also a vase in "Operation Swordfish", it was better than being coquettish in a comic book movie. The literary and artistic style of manga movies is terrifyingly low, although it is said that film critics will not become brainless trolls as soon as they encounter this kind of movie, and they can also recognize its commercial value and give evaluations in the field of commercial films on a case-by-case basis, but it is almost impossible to expect them to say good things about the actor and actress who starred in the manga movie, of course, this is also normal, after all, the actor and actress must be extremely complex and delicate in their award-winning works, and the performance that touches people's hearts must be extremely complex and delicate, which can not be done by manga movies in any way.

"Let them go," Jenny said, swallowing a mouthful of pasta and not caring about it, "I don't care about that." There is only one Daniel in the world. De-Lewis, even Meryl will be in "The Devil Wears Prada", and I'm still some way from her. ”

Meryl will definitely not play the role of Pepper in "Iron Man", this is a fact, but Jenny is not unmotivated for Pepper, after making up her mind to shoot her own female superhero movie, she can turn around and look at her relationship with literary films and commercial films more objectively - complex and plump roles like Karen and Monroe may make her enjoy acting and make her feel like she is creating a masterpiece, but Pepper and Elizabeth are all indispensable roles like Andy and Ellie, admittedly, It's not so fun to play them, but the box office and influence they can give back to her are also something that Karen and Monroe can't give, there are countless great actors in the world who have shot a large number of commercial films, maybe not many of them, but they are famous in history with such films. As a product to please the public, commercial films may be vulgar and routine, but there is nothing to be ashamed of and meaningless to play a role in.

As long as it is a well-made and sincere film, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, she should adjust her mentality, not to be willful because of a Karen, only thinking about her own satisfaction in acting, and expressing contempt for the normal taste of the public. In any case, the entertainment attribute of the movie is the guarantee that it can survive to this day, yes, the public just likes to watch reunions, likes heroes to save beauty, likes refreshing visual effects, disgusts with obscure and depressing lens language, and disgusts with movies with serious political tendencies and full of didactic meaning...... After all, they spend money to see, and it is fair to want to meet their own needs, and since you Jenny is also relying on the public's like, relying on the box office and popularity that come to the present step by step because of these loves, then satisfying the public's preferences is also a kind of job, because if Pepper simply feels that she is wasting time, it is a little too self-centered. Including the previous mentality of "Avatar" only wanting to invest and not acting, if Jenny doesn't want to be an actor and only wants to be a producer, and the actor is the springboard to the producer's road, then it's nothing, but if she still wants to be an actor, that mentality is a little wrong. Really good actors, such as Robert Jr. Donnie, the male protagonist of the comic adaptation film, can act well, let himself turn from black to red at once, so that the global audience is fascinated, and he didn't see him dislike Tony's simple heart in the performance, and the performance process is too boring. -- Being able to enter and exit, being able to act in literary films with devotion, and finding fun in commercial films, this is a truly qualified and dedicated actor, a real master.

Of course, she doesn't dare to guarantee that such an idea is absolutely correct, but at least Jenny successfully convinced herself with such a statement, and now she is not so afraid of the rest of the filming schedule this year, and will not judge in advance whether this is a boring and boring job, or with the expectation of being able to find surprises, discover herself and gain new knowledge, and even the female superhero movie that is still in the clouds and has not been decided on anything is no longer purely for gambling and commercial considerations, but really has interest and expectations from the heart.

"So, you think you're the next Meryl. Streep? Robert Jr. asked a little playfully, but quickly returned to his normal conversation, "But seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing your superhero movies too, maybe I should make a cameo as Iron Man - don't forget to take me with you when the time comes." ”

Although he has not completely turned from black to red now, Donnie has come out of the lowest point, not a downfall, after he remarried and completely detoxified, it took less than two years to reconnect with a blockbuster with a budget of more than 100 million, and he still plays Iron Man, who is also second-tier popular among comic fans, such an actor said that he wanted to make a cameo appearance in Jenny's movie, it was not a thigh, but a gesture of favor.

It is precisely because of his enthusiastic personality that so many friends in the circle have repeatedly reached out to pull him, Jenny also has a good impression of him, she smiled and said, "Don't regret it, Robert, even if you forget this sentence, I will force you to get out of the itinerary." ”

"What are you talking about?" Chris walked over with a cup of coffee in his hand, "What's the itinerary?" ”

"We're talking about that female superhero movie that Jennifer is going to make." Donnie smiled and greeted Chris, "Hey, man, nice shirt - I'm flattered by your words, Jennifer, can you still afford me to have your boyfriend on the side and make a cameo at any time?" ”

"What superhero movie?" Chris said blankly, and then he suddenly remembered, "Oh, that you said in the Maldives - I didn't think you remembered it, Jenny." ”

"Just casually," Jenny said with some grumbling, "even if it's going to be filmed, it's going to be '09 or '10, and oh my God, you're not going to believe how broken my schedule is." ”

"yes," Chris said to Donnie half-jokingly, "You can't believe how workaholic my girlfriend is, it's only '07, but her work schedule is already three years away......"

Halfway through speaking, he was a little distracted, and he didn't cheer up again until he finished speaking, and pinched Jenny's face with a smile, "Five feet and six inches of endless energy, huh?" ”

Jenny bared her teeth at him and said sweetly, "Did I make you feel old, dear?" ”

Little Robert laughed too, and he said sincerely, "Take a break, Jennifer, I know the whole world needs you now, but trust me, too much travel can overwhelm your body-"

His eyes dimmed, as if he thought of the absurd era after he became popular, but he quickly perked up again, "Always pay attention to rest, make more light-hearted commercial films, just like me, and don't give bad habits a chance." ”

Jenny and Chris both listened respectfully to his sincere and kind advice, Chris grinned and tugged at Jenny's earlobe again, "Did you hear that?" Always take a break – dear Jennifer, always take a break! ”

Jenny protests dissatisfiedly, and Downey bursts into laughter - in the midst of slapstick laughter, a month of fun on the set is over in a flash, Chris packs his bags and rushes to his own set, and Jenny, after a short return to Los Angeles for a few days of rest, also catches a long-haul flight to New Zealand to join the "Avatar" crew and begin pre-filming training.

The author has something to say: Note: The argument that the manga movie lets the love scene and the woman go away is my private goods, but some of the movies quoted are facts, Extraordinary 2 doesn't seem to be bad at the box office figures, but the word of mouth is huge, and the box office is about the same as "Spider-Man 2", with the blessing of 3dimax, expensive ticket prices, inflation, and the development of new markets around the world, and the increasing number of members of the 10e club, this number is very unsatisfactory, according to Sony in the Sony hacking incident, Transcendent 2 is definitely a box office loss if you count the daily expenses

In addition, I actually think Gwyneth's Pepper is quite good, at least better than Natalie's Jane, Natalie's performance in Thor is so rough and flabby that it is impossible to believe that she is the same person as Black Swan-

Updated~~~~~~ Jenny is starting to put her mind right~

It's a new month again, and this month there is a New Year's Day...... I don't know how to count updates......
