Chapter 73: Robert Downey Jr

Zhou Zun is an avid Marvel fan, and when Marvel movies were not yet popular, he collected a lot of comics almost like a demon, almost all of which filled his small room.

Every child has a heroic dream in their hearts!

Zhou Zun is no exception!

Before the age of eight, he was taken abroad by his family and happened to visit a comic book store, and since then he has been obsessed with Marvel.

"In the last century, Marvel was a giant in the American comics industry, with countless superheroes under its banner.

At a time when DC, the number one rival who loves and kills each other, makes classic films such as Superman and makes a lot of money, Marvel has fallen into a low period.

To be precise, it has begun to face bankruptcy, and as a last resort, it can only sell some of its superhero copyrights.

The heroes sold have been made into movies one after another, "Fantastic Four" and "Spider-Man Trilogy" have earned more than one another, and one has more to do with Marvel, it can only get a tiny little bit of copyright fees.

In desperation, Marvel decided to give it a go.

In order to shoot the pioneering work "Iron Man", he kept preparing, screening, and considering, and even continued to sell the copyrights of some heroes.

On May 2, 2008, "Iron Man", which was released in the United States, exploded, and Marvel has been booming ever since. ”

Zhou Zun saw that Su Huajiu's eyes were listening carefully to his own story without blinking, his eyes were full of little stars, and there was a trace of worship, and he couldn't help but feel a little comfortable.

Taking a deep breath, he continued, "The biggest reason why Iron Man can be so successful is because of the lead actor Robert Downey Jr.

Whether it is image or personality, Robert Downey Jr. is very close to Iron Man in the comics, and he almost plays in his true colors.

In particular, Robert Downey Jr.'s improvisational performance adds a lot of color to this movie and adds a lot of personal charm.

In the comics, Iron Man's identity is kept secret.

And at the end of the first movie, in Tony Stark's speech to reporters, he did not say what was on the speech, and threw the speech aside in a very chic manner, but announced directly to the world: IamIronMan!

Although this move was dissatisfied and criticized by some fans, they felt that they did not respect the original work.

But it still makes most of the audience crazy, and the following plot has already made the audience bored, and surprise may be able to achieve unexpected results.

There is no doubt that Robert Downey Jr.'s improvisation was correct, and "Iron Man" was an instant hit, earning Marvel half a billion.

not only made a name for himself, but also saved the entire Marvel Universe, from the brink of collapse to a supergiant in the American comic industry.

If there was no improvisation at the beginning, maybe Iron Man would not have died in Avengers IV! ”

"Sounds so inspiring!"

Originally, Su Huajiu was not interested in Marvel, but when he heard Zhou Zun say this, he suddenly became a little more interested.

I can't wait to take out my phone and search for all the Marvel movies, one after another.

Zhou Zun glanced at the excited Su Huajiu and said, "There are not many actors I admire, Robert Downey Jr. is one."

Not only because he saved Marvel single-handedly, but also because of some deeds in his life. ”

"What deeds?"

Su Huajiu doesn't know anything about Marvel, and he is completely a novice.

"Robert Downey Jr. was born with a golden key, and it can be said that he was born at the starting line in the entertainment industry.

His mother is a famous actor, and his father Downey Sr. is a well-known screenwriter in Hollywood, and the classic movies "The Godfather" and "Mission Impossible" are all from him.

One can imagine how good his family is.

Because of his parents, Robert Downey Jr. has a lot of opportunities.

In addition, he is extremely talented, and he began acting in movies at the age of five.

When he was seventeen, he dropped out of high school and devoted himself directly to the film industry.

In order to train him, his father did not give him much financial support, and in order to survive, he also went to a restaurant to wash dishes to earn living expenses.

Five years later, some producers still saw his father's face and let him star in the movie.

Since then, he has opened the door to Hollywood.

In the second five years, Robert Downey Jr. played the role of Chaplin's doctor in the movie "Chaplin", especially after putting on the clothes, it seems to be a perfect replica, contributing superb acting skills that his peers can not achieve at all.

Because of this movie, he was also received by the Queen of England and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.

After all, he is still too young, and after all, he lost to Al Pacino, who contributed god-level acting skills in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman".

Even so, his achievements before the age of thirty are beyond the reach of many actors who work hard for a lifetime! ”

"And then?"

Su Huajiu was fascinated by listening to it and looked forward to the following plot.

"Life is a race, some people only have a 100-meter track, some people have a long marathon, and some people need to run a never-ending life.

When Robert Downey Jr. had already reached the end of the 100 meters, many people were still in place and ready to jump.

It was precisely because he ran 100 meters that he discovered that his destiny was a marathon.

The end of his life is not limited to the 100 meters behind him, but also the endless journey. ”

Zhou Zun's eyes were a little lonely when he said this, as if he had also experienced the same ups and downs as Robert Downey Jr.

sighed: "Everything has a cause and must have an effect, and when he was eight years old, the ignorant little Robert Downey took drugs under the instruction of his father.

Coupled with Robert Downey Jr.'s young ambition, it is inevitable that he will be a little impetuous and unsightly.

Helplessly, his girlfriend, who had been with him for seven years, was fed up with being a guardian and didn't want to grow up with him, so she chose to leave him.

The ex-wife also did not have the courage to continue to accompany him and also parted ways with him.

That's not all, Robert Downey Jr.'s drug addiction is getting bigger and bigger, and he visits drug rehabilitation centers and prisons every once in a while.

He even had a gun and hit people in the event of a drug addiction.

Taking drugs is like putting a gun in your mouth and your hand is already on the trigger, but I fall in love with the metallic smell of the barrel.

This sentence was his defense in court at the time, and it invisibly revealed his despair of life.

Because of this, he had no drama to film, and he was blacklisted by the film and television company.

The former Hollywood darling has become a street rat, and everyone thinks that he will not get better, only that he will get faster and worse! ”

"And then Iron Man helped him turn over, right, right?"

Su Huajiu grabbed Zhou Zun's arm and said excitedly.

That expression is like rewriting a person's life from God's point of view!
