Chapter 558: The Shadows Above the Donnie Family
It was originally a small and medium-sized sound stage, but in recent years, Duke has been shooting action-related films. Carter needed a professional training gym, and at Duke's suggestion, Warner Bros. funded the renovation of the studio, which now houses fitness, martial arts and endurance training.

Standing in the lounge area, Duke looked at Jimmy? A few of Carter's assistants assisted Scarlett in her movement training, asking the side, "How are they doing?" ”
We've been working together for years, Jimmy? Carter didn't hide it either, and said directly, "Scarlett works hard, but due to her size and size, her talent in this area is very average. ”
Duke nodded slightly, to Jimmy? Carter's words are not surprising, if a person with such a sexy body can become a hand-to-hand combat master without any obstacles, it is too disregard for all kinds of laws of physics.
But this is a movie after all, a sexy and hot Natasha? Agent Normanoff, far more popular with the audience than a shriveled Black Widow.
Besides, except for a few less difficult actions, Scarlett is more of a figure and face in the film, and those difficult actions will naturally be completed by stunt stand-ins.
Duke believes that if Scarlett? Johnson was injured, and the mother would certainly not be happy.
As he said in the past, no matter what kind of relationship, it takes time to cultivate and precipitate, and after more than ten years of getting along, his mother attaches enough importance to her goddaughter.
Eyes from Scarlett? Johnson turned away, and Duke's eyes turned to the other side of the training hall, a man with long dark brown hair, working out under the guidance of a professional trainer, probably because of the long beard, he looked somewhat haggard, like the current situation.
Is this guy Robert Jr.? Downey.
"He's working hard, too." Jimmy? Carter added, "Originally, he wasn't part of our training program, but he was officially confirmed to play Tony? Stark, he offered to join the workout. ”
"It seems that he understands the importance of hard work." Duke looked at Robert Jr.? Donnie, "Pay attention to him a little more." We've worked with him more than once. ”
Once Robert Jr.? Downey is a model of the prodigal son's return, but Duke has been in Hollywood for many years and knows how muddy the waters are in this circle. Downey is not really addicted to drugs. Perhaps only his agent and personal assistant know.
The Downey family can be said to be deeply shrouded in the shadow of drugs, and his father, Robert Sr. Downey is a well-known Hollywood producer and screenwriter who is a standard junkie; Robert Jr.? Downey was a smash hit in the early 90s, and then fell into drug addiction and couldn't extricate himself, and was even arrested and imprisoned for a time; It didn't take long. Robert Jr.? Donnie's son was also exposed by the media for drug use......
This can be said to be a typical Hollywood family.
The only thing to be thankful for is Robert Jr.? Downey used to be a jerk, but there was a day when he woke up, and it wasn't too late.
Anyway, by Jimmy? Carter's observation, Robert Jr.? Downey showed enough hard work and professionalism, and Duke was relentless about his choice.
After all, this is an actor candidate that he vigorously insists on, and if there is really any scandal, his face will not look good.
Withdrawing his gaze from the training ground and discussing some more work progress, Duke suddenly changed the subject.
"Jimmy. Have you ever considered opening an apprenticeship? He said in a joking tone.
Jimmy? Carter asked, "Like Bruce?" Is Lee like that? ”
Duke nodded slightly, "Almost." ”
"My interest is still in film." Jimmy? Carter thought for a moment and said, "You know me, I'm not very interested in these things, and the fighting in the movie is completely different from the actual use. ”
Seeing that the other party didn't mean this, Duke stopped mentioning it, and the two turned to discuss the fight scenes that needed to be designed in the film.
It's not just a real-life fight, it's also the action after putting on a steel suit.
Jimmy? Carter asked suddenly. "Duke, I don't know if you've read Japanese mecha manga?"
"......No," Duke shook his head slowly, "I've dabbled very little in this. ”
"I think Iron Man's melee attack aspect", Jimmy? Carter apparently did enough to know. "You can borrow from the melee attack method of the mech."
Duke thought for a moment and said, "You give me a complete plan." ”
When it comes to action scene design, Jimmy? Carter is an expert, and Duke has a designer, but he's good at shooting and action editing. Fight design is definitely not as good as Jimmy's? Carter.
Professional things naturally have to be done by professionals.
"Hi, Duke."
Scarlett who has temporarily ended training? Johnson walked over at this time, wearing a white training uniform, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel, and greeting Duke, "Did you come to see me?" ”
Jimmy? Carter could guess something, and without saying a word, he left the rest area.
"It's my job,"
Seeing Scarlett hand the towel to the assistant who came with her, Duke took a bottle of special energy drink, handed it to her, and asked, "How does it feel, it's hard, right?" ”
"Yes, it's much more tiring than acting in literary films."
In front of Duke, Scarlett didn't need to hide it, and complained slightly, "I thought it was easy to play a vase, but I didn't expect that the vase would not be less." ”
In the inherent concept, compared with those actresses who are good at acting skills in literary films, it seems that the vase in commercial films always easily gets the role done, and you can become famous without paying too much, but in many cases, this is not the case at all.
Charles? How long did Theron train for the vase role in The Matrix?
Orlando? Bloom spent months training in archery and fitness for Legolas, even straining his tendon at one point.
Don't talk about Duke's films, let's talk about vases that used to be, such as Megan? Fox, how much did it take to shoot Transformers? The taste of running thousands of feet in a high-altitude dress is also known only to the person concerned.
In this circle, the people who can become famous are all people with excellent luck, but behind the luck are efforts that others can't see.
In the same way, even if there are two stunt doubles, Scarlett wants to play Natasha well? Agent Normanoff will not pay less than she starred in literary films, or even more.
"You look a little thinner," Duke said as he reached for the bottle Scarlett had returned, "and it looks like you're really trying." ”
"Do I still think of you as the little kid who only nagged and mischievous? I've grown up. Scarlett's eyes suddenly fell to her neck, "They're a little too big, and they're a burden when training." ”
Duke didn't answer her, looked at his watch, and said, "You go on, I still have something to do." ”
"Okay." Scarlett leaned up to him, "I'll see you in Malibu tomorrow." ”
Before he walked out of the training hall, Duke suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him, and looked back to see little Robert? Donnie hurried after him, as if he had something to look for.
"Rosenberg Director ......"
Meet Duke's gaze, little Robert? Donnie walked over quickly, "Can I disturb you for a few minutes?" ”
"No problem." Duke nodded at him, "No need to be so polite. ”
Robert Jr.? Donnie stopped when he walked four feet away, and his face changed to one of extreme sincerity and gratitude, "I...... I, director Rosenborg, I just wanted to say thank you. ”
Duke looked at him, clear little Robert? Donnie wasn't finished and didn't respond.
"After I got out of prison, everyone else treated me like poison, no one wanted to associate with me, and many of the auditions I participated in were eliminated at the beginning."
It seems that this experience made him particularly emotional, little Robert? Donnie let out a long sigh and said, "People who have not sunk don't feel how important success is, I figured this out, but found that there was no chance of success......"
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity." Robert Jr.? Donnie said solemnly, "If it will be useful to me in the future......"
Duke smiled slightly and said, "I'll call you then." ”
Robert Jr.? Donnie also laughed, perhaps it was the experience that made him obviously smarter, and deliberately left Duke a chance to ask for favors, but not a chance for himself.
Gently patted little Robert? Donnie's arm, Duke walked out of the training hall, although the contact time was not long, he could vaguely perceive, little Robert? Downey is a man of temperament, but when you think about the changes that have taken place since you entered Hollywood, some things are finally back on track.
Ever Robert Jr.? Downey re-emerged after his release from prison, Mel? Gibson played an important role, so much so that in his later negotiations with Marvel Studios, Downey directly proposed that as long as Mel? Gibson became a director, and he continued to star in "Iron Man 4", in order to pull Mel, who was spurned by the entire Hollywood mainstream? Gibson handful.
But what about now, Mel? Gibson has long been taken by Duke and Tom? Cruise teamed up to pit back to Australia, and the result was Robert Jr.? Downey is released from prison in a more difficult situation than ever before.
However, the early appearance of "Iron Man", coupled with Duke's fame and appeal, has a great impact on Robert Jr.? It's not a good thing for Donnie.
Things are always so wonderful sometimes, aren't they?
The preparation of "Iron Man" is also a complex project, Marvel Studios, a new company, has a serious lack of practical experience, if it were not for Duke's mature team and the strong support of the distributor Warner Bros., "Iron Man" will take a long time to prepare, and it will not be possible to release it in the summer of next year as planned.
Even so, a variety of jobs continued to follow, and Duke took a brief break from "Batman: Time to War" to devote himself to busy work again. (To be continued.) )
ps: Three more, three more, continue to be three more, the days without saving manuscripts are really sad!
