The fact that the two very different identities of the producer and the lead actor appear in one person at the same time is very rare, even in Hollywood, where "the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds". According to normal logic, the director is responsible for the director to direct the filming, and the director has to listen to the producer's greeting in the "general direction". Lin Mingyang has the dual identity of producer and starring, which makes his relationship with director Jon very "chaotic".

There is often such a scene in the crew, and director Jon often takes the script to "discuss" with Lin Mingyang how to shoot the next scene before filming. Under normal circumstances, Jon first elaborated his ideas, and then Lin Mingyang proposed revisions.

Regarding the problem of shooting, Lin Mingyang did not stretch his hand too long, he knew that the director is the soul of film shooting, and only a free soul can create excellent works. Aside from minor modifications, he doesn't interfere with Jon's filming in most cases.

However, as the producer of the film, he provided Jon with a lot of help. As a very typical Hollywood genre film, "Iron Man" still maintains the characteristics of the traditional Hollywood commercial surname, and in this kind of commercial film dominated by entertainment surnames, the profound theme or artistic value must give way to visual effects and entertainment. The main audience for this type of film is obviously teenagers between the ages of 14 and 25, who just like hot scenes and high-intensity visual impact, and get satisfaction from stimulating their nerves with fast editing and high-decibel sound effects.

"Iron Man", like any previous blockbuster with big scenes, is full of all-powerful and shocking visual effects such as speeding cars, explosions, and even going to the sky and into the sea, in order to create a Hollywood blockbuster that can feast the audience's eyes in theaters. Lin Mingyang commissioned Industrial Light & Magic, the industry's heavyweight VFX company, to handle most of the VFX shots in the film.

On the issue of whether to use computer special effects to compose pictures, Lin Mingyang and Jon had some disagreements at first. Jon is a comedy director by training, and he is unfamiliar with CGI, a computer special effects compositing technology, and at first he even thought that using CGI technology would reduce the realistic look and feel of the film.

But Lin Mingyang insisted that a high-tech movie like "Iron Man" would be impossible without CGI computer special effects. He told Jon that Lucas's ILM is currently the leading player in CGI's computer special effects animation field. Their past films, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and Transformers, have successfully combined digital special effects with real imagery. ILM's special effects crew can help bring "Iron Man" to life on the big screen.

Lin Mingyang showed his "arrogant" side on this issue, and after explaining the reason, he directly raised the identity of the producer. Fortunately, Jon himself "figured out" this problem, otherwise Lin Mingyang waved his hand, and he still had the final say on this matter.

With the technical assistance of Industrial Light & Magic, it is no longer a problem for the film to create a fiery effect visually, but Lin Mingyang needs the perfect combination of sight and hearing, so he invited Lemy Zavati, the composer of the TV series "Prison Break", to be the original music for the film.

According to Lin Mingyang's requirements, Lemi takes heavy metal rock as the main tone of the background music of the film, just like the protagonist of the film, very naughty, often unreasonable, unpredictable, not as noisy as in "Transformers", but often full of humor.

has successively made five trailer scenes, and the action is more popular than the other, which really whetted the appetite of fans. On Christmas Eve '07, MGM held a small-scale test screening within the company. At this time, the post-production of the film was still in full swing, but MGM needed to make a judgment on the film to determine the release schedule and pre-release publicity strategy.

There were no media reporters, no professional film critics, and in addition to MGM's internal executives, there were 50 ordinary movie fans who participated in the small-scale test screening, all of whom were randomly selected by the computer from a list of MGM organizers who had signed up for a promotional event held by MGM online, and in order to prevent the plot from leaking, they had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with MGM before watching the test screening, and the liquidated damages were as high as $500,000.

Because of the more work at hand, Ex finally stepped on the time to enter the venue, and when he sat down, the picture showed the majestic mountains and the desolate next door. The topography in the opening scene alone can make the audience naturally think of Iraq occupied by the US military.

Sure enough, the camera changed from a long shot to a close shot, and it was a team of American armored vehicles that rolled up the dust on the Gobi, and the background music suddenly sounded at this time, and the classic "back-in-black" rock debuted at the beginning, and the exciting rhythm formed a sharp contrast with the dullness of the opening film, and Ax clearly felt that the eyes of many young people around him began to release a strange look.

The U.S. armored convoy seemed to be on an important mission, and all the soldiers looked wary and nervous, and the choice of such background music was somewhat "out of place", just when the audience was puzzled, the camera moved to the interior of one of the armored vehicles, and it was hard to imagine that there was a silver portable CD player in the high-security armored car, and rock music came out of it.

The American soldier sitting in the passenger seat glanced at the back seat from time to time, and this action couldn't help but make the audience have a strong interest in the "big man" sitting in the back. The film's choreographer did not immediately satisfy the audience's curiosity, but threw out a more "tempting" suspense, the camera turns backwards, and the first thing that catches the viewer's eye is a glass of glazed martini that shakes with the bumps of the road, and the owner of the hand holding the wine glass is obviously enjoying the music and wine, and the young American soldier sitting next to him is looking at him with curiosity.

The suspense was finally revealed, and Lin Mingyang, who was enjoying the presidential-like treatment in the military Humvee with Erlang's legs crossed, was mature and slightly decadent, which caused a low exclamation from the audience. Ex can see Lin Mingyang every day, so his performance at the test screening scene is relatively calm.

Ex was sitting in the first row, and he heard someone behind him whispering, "Oh my God, is this Felix Lin?" How do I feel as if I saw Al Pacino in his youth? ”

"How can Al Pacino have such a taste like Felix now... The way he grows a beard is really charming, especially that decadent and melancholy look, oh my God! ”

Such a comment reached Ex's ears, and he only smiled slightly. It turns out that Lin Mingyang is very suitable for the character of Tony Stark, humor, charm, passion, he has all these elements. But Ex also has to admit that Lin Mingyang's performance has indeed made great progress, at least fully worthy of his Oscar award. In this opening alone, he played the man's wisdom, arrogance, confidence, romance, humor, cynicism and justice just right, and vividly portrayed the surname of "Iron Man" Tony at the beginning.

This "stunning" appearance was followed by an interesting conversation in the car. Lin Mingyang used a humorous tone to mobilize the dull atmosphere in the car, and then the soldier sitting in the passenger seat jokingly asked: "Sir, I have a question, I heard that the cover girl of Maxim's magazine for 12 months has slept with you?" ”

When others talk about their private lives in public, Tony in the film is not angry, and his answer is even more interesting: "You are not all right, the one in March has a conflict with my schedule, but fortunately the twins in December!" ”

After this humorous dialogue, a tacit smile appeared on the lips of the audience, although I don't know if there is a deeper meaning in the lines arranged by the film's director, but everyone knows that Lin Mingyang's private life in reality is probably not much inferior to what is described in the film.

Others are still just guessing, but Ex knows that the women who have an affair with Lin Mingyang's private life are all the best in Hollywood, and in comparison, the cover girl of Maxim's magazine looks a little pediatric.

"Any questions?" The continuation of the dialogue brought Ackes's attention back to the screen, and the atmosphere in the car became more and more active at this time, whether it was Lin Mingyang in reality or Tony in the film, they were all masters of creating atmosphere. At this time, the younger American soldier sitting next to him hesitated to raise his hand, but this action was stopped by Tony.

"Don't be stupid, what are you raising your hand?"

The other party offered to take a picture with Tony, and Tony readily agreed, and the young American soldier pulled out his camera and handed it to his companion sitting in the front row. The two got together in front of the camera, and Tony still didn't forget to gag at this time.

Just as this joyful and humorous atmosphere was at its peak, the young American soldier was urging his companions to take pictures without changing the camera settings, when an armored vehicle driving in front of it was suddenly attacked by a missile and was blown apart.

The unexpected explosion immediately caught the audience's attention, and the sudden attack killed the American soldiers who protected Tony, while the enemy did not show up on camera at all. Tony stumbled away from the armored car, but a missile landed beside him. Tony was blown away, and despite wearing a protective suit, the bomb fragments still penetrated the protection, and the snow-white shirt on his chest was stained with red blood.

According to the law of immortality of the protagonist in Hollywood movies, Tony will definitely not die at the beginning of the film, but the immersive audience still sweats in their hands, but fortunately, as soon as the picture turns, the burlap hood on Tony's head is removed, and he falls into the hands of a group of terrorists.

Fast forward to 36 hours ago, a grand awards ceremony summed up Tony's life in a general way: building his first circuit board at the age of four, his first engine at the age of six, graduating from MIT with the highest score at the age of 17, and inheriting a billionaire fortune at the age of 21, these proud backgrounds are just the beginning.

In his eyes, the trophy for outstanding contribution awarded by the military is just something that can be thrown to passers-by; A conversation with Vanity Fair magazine reporter Christina exposes her witty, frivolous and humorous surname.

In this dialogue, Tony, played by Lin Mingyang, said the first classic line in the film: "If you want not to be bullied, you have to be thicker than others." When Christina asked him, "Didn't you sleep for the money of war?" Tony told her with an innocent face, "I'm going to have a few sleepless nights with you."

easily tricked the beautiful reporter of "Vanity Fair" into bed. That under-the-bed battle was simply pediatric in the eyes of the American audience, and when watching the movie, Aix even heard the audience around him whispering about whether the actor who performed this "bed scene" was Lin Mingyang himself.

For this issue, it is estimated that no one present can have more say than Exx, and he knows very well in his heart that Lin Mingyang definitely doesn't mind having an intimate contact with the model who plays the beautiful reporter, but the heroine of this film is Kate. Ex didn't have to think about it to know that when shooting this set of shots, the one who was rolling on the bed was definitely not Lin Mingyang, and in front of Kate, he would not make such a "low-level mistake".

Ex knows it in his heart, but that doesn't mean that anyone else can understand it too. In the previous promotional video, the heroine was obviously talking about Kate Beckinsale, but before she appeared, Lin Mingyang, as the male lead, had already had a bed with an unknown beauty. Then opened down, and the doubts in the audience's hearts were slowly revealed.

The director's arrangement is probably to further show Tony's frivolous surname before he became Iron Man, women are like the clothes he wears, and he wakes up in the morning and throws them in bed, but he can never remember the other party's name. The island villa is a sight to behold, Tony's mansion overturns the Hollywood convention of New York being rich in superheroes, and this time the crew set Iron Man's residence in Malibu, California, fully satisfying the long-standing imbalance of audiences outside New York, especially to the joy of California fans, because thanks to this film, the night view of California, Malibu and the coast of Santa Monica can be shown in the film, instead of the high-rise buildings of Manhattan that are tired of watching again and again.

The Audi R8 followed by the wind, and the huge private jets all show Tony's luxurious surname, and many viewers now understand that the Iron Man played by Lin Mingyang is definitely not a decent hero.

The superheroes born in comics are like "idols" in the entertainment industry, relying on "appearance" and giving the audience sensory enjoyment to eat, it is easy to become popular but also easy to be eliminated, and the competition is cruel and fierce. Many heroes have already filmed sequels, and they have no choice but to shoot prequels. Even with loyal followers to support you, it's hard not to feel repetitive and tired, and the demand for new roles is strong. At this time, if there is a newcomer who can not only inherit and carry forward the traditional comic hero spirit, but also stand out with a new character's surname, skills and story, then the audience will definitely buy it.

knows that honest heroes are becoming less and less popular, and seeing that Superman, who was popular in the United States in the 70s, almost didn't even keep 200 million old books when he made a comeback in 2005, MGM just made Tony, who was already very romantic, more romantic, and Tony, who was already very genius, even more genius. The most important thing is that the Iron Man Tony in the film is not perfect, so it is more realistic.

In previous films, most of the superheroes that the audience saw were good young men who were law-abiding and well-behaved since childhood. Even Batman, who is also very rich, rarely spends a lot of time drinking and is completely otaku. But their greatness often makes the audience feel distant or frustrated. Tony, on the other hand, is a problem man, he has all the shortcomings that a rich man is most likely to have: profligacy, ruthlessness, arrogance, rhetoric, arrogance, ruffianism, the complete opposite of Spider-Man, Superman and other decent gentlemen and shy men, neither civilian nor modest, and he was still an arms criminal at the beginning, and he liked to be called "death traders" the most.

Although the role played by Lin Mingyang this time is quite different from the superhero in the audience's impression, the moviegoers at the scene still watched it with relish. Although it is their main task for superheroes to fight against evil forces, after all, they are not robots, but people with flesh and blood and feelings, and whether the audience likes them or not, the charm of the surname is very important. Lin Mingyang's performance in the film is always mixed with wildness and restlessness, as well as a kind of toughness and difficulty in compromise, which is well displayed in the film, because it is very different from the heroes of the past.

In addition, he is very good at joking and **, and most importantly, he is also very rich, and women have zero resistance to this. Unlike other heroes who are usually so serious and dull, Tony is straightforward and relaxed, spilling his sense of humor everywhere, even when he is with robots, but he is steady and not frivolous, with a kind of leader that impresses everyone around him and is willing to be at his mercy.

Of course, heroes need beautiful women, and the vase in the film this time is also full of weight. Painted with Estee Lauder's light makeup, Kate Beckinsale, who was already elegant enough, performed more gently and introvertedly, subtle and dignified, and at the same time empathetic, she also showed the charm of the surname of the beautiful woman all the time.

The most exciting dialogues in the film come from the dialogue between the two, and it obviously makes people feel ambiguous between them, not like Spider-Man and his lover are pinching, but enjoying each other's pleasure. I have to admit that Kate's "little secretary" is the only one in the female surname role in superhero movies that makes the audience feel that it is not just a vase, but also helps to give full play to the wisdom and charm of the surname, which alone adds a lot of points to the whole film.
