Chapter 519: The Oprah Show
Speaking of Robert Downey Jr.'s size, it really made Charlotte want to tear a handful of sympathy.
In fact, Downey is not short, and his height of more than 1.7 meters is barely okay in East Asia.
But in Hollywood, where actors are often 1.8 meters, Downey is indeed short.
Of course, in general movies, this head is not a problem.
But on the contrary, the movie of his comeback is Marvel's "Iron Man" and "Avengers" series-
In the Avengers universe, the actors of a group of superheroes are all tall and mighty.
Especially the three Chris, each of them made the average Donnie very stressed.
What's more, the Iron Man he plays is not ordinary, with Chris Evans' Captain America and Chris Hemsworth's Thor.
After all, excluding some corner characters and the beauty and sex of Black Widow, the Marvel Universe can be said to be supported by the shield relationship between Iron Man and Captain America, as well as the brotherhood of Brother Hammer and Brother Hammer.
And among them, Donnie's Iron Man is the only short man.
- This is probably the reason why Iron Man has always cared for the little spider after Tom Holland's Spider-Man returned to the Marvel Universe.
After all, this is a rare new addition to the short group......
Of course, in Charlotte's planned "Sherlock Holmes", Downey doesn't have to face so many big men.
But the problem is that the two heroines selected by Charlotte, whether Nicole Kidman or Famick Jensen, are not short!
In general movies, in order to highlight the CP sense of the hero and heroine, it is always customary to make the male protagonist a little higher.
- This is more difficult for Donnie.
However, it's not a big deal-
"It's a big deal, just use the prop box!"
Charlotte shrugged.
β...... All right. β
Since Mr. Director doesn't mind using this ultimate killer, the old gun, as an assistant director, doesn't think it's a problem.
No way, who let the prop box be the savior of Hollywood's short male stars?
For example, Nicole Kidman's husband, Tom Cruise, is the first spokesperson for prop boxes in Hollywood.
If you can't stand on this thing and rise to a high level, you will either eliminate all the short male stars in Hollywood, or those tall female stars will have to lose their jobs.
- Or when those short male stars need to play, they can only go to Reese Witherspoon, who is less than 1.6 meters tall?
What a terrible sight that must have been!!
Thinking of this, the old gun couldn't help but shudder.
He hurriedly put an end to his fantasies, and continued to discuss with Charlotte about the composition of the crew of "Sherlock Holmes......
At the same time, Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz of the "Mummy" crew are being interviewed by Oprah.
That's right, because they ended up grossing $84 million in the first week of the show and set off a "Egyptian fever" in the United States, they received an invitation to "The Oprah Show".
For this program with great influence in the United States, the crew of "The Mummy" will naturally not refuse.
- If the interview is successful, it will give "The Mummy" a huge boost to the box office the following week. Especially in the southern part of the United States.
And the fact that the target of the interview is Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz is quite normal.
After all, in the final analysis, the easiest thing to become famous for the success of a movie is the actor.
But even so, sometimes, Charlotte is mentioned.
For example β
"So, Brandon, I heard you worked on Charlotte Booth's Fatal Bend?"
As if in small talk, Oprah asked the question.
Brandon Fisher nodded,
"yes, in that movie, I was the first character to die!"
"Wow, huh?"
Not only Oprah, but even Rachel Weisz on the side showed a surprised expression.
Of course, in fact, both of them knew about Brandon Fisher's past. However, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
What's more, this is originally a talk show, and naturally there are deliberate performance components.
Especially Oprah -
"Is this the shot?"
She gestured to the large screen behind the crowd.
Brandon Fisher subconsciously turned around, only to see that his face, which was a few years younger, was plummeting straight down to the screen.
And thenβ
"Smack!"
Brandon Fisher was so frightened by the footage he had taken that he leaned over on the couch.
And Rachel Weisz covered her mouth in fright.
Of course, given the audience of The Oprah Show, the photographer didn't give a frontal view of the shot at the last moment.
But even looking at Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz on the side, the audience can realize that this final shot must be exciting.
"I'm reluctant to admit it, but I have to say that director Charlotte and I met through this lens. β
Brandon Fisher said with a wry smile.
"Can you tell us about it?"
Oprah looked interested.
"Of course. β
Brandon Fisher nodded, and talked about his youthful yearsβ
β...... This scene looks simple, but in fact, in order to show the horror effect, I was hung on Weiya and went up and down many times. β
After roughly telling the story, Brandon Fisher said depressedly,
"Since then, I've made up my mind that if I do action scenes again, I won't hang Weiya anymore β it's so painful. β
"I see. β
Oprah was about to make an evaluation, but unexpectedly, Brandon Fisher took a breath and said,
"Mr. Director also knew my determination, so when he invited me to audition for "The Mummy", he specifically said that this time the action scene does not need to hang Weiya. β
"Hahaha......"
At this time, not only Oprah and Rachel Weisz, who were sitting on the side, but also the audience at the scene burst into laughter.
"It seems that I didn't invite director Charlotte to come, which was a mistake. β
Oprah added with a smile.
Rachel Weisz on the side shook her head,
"You can't find him, Oprahββ it is said that every time a movie is released, director Charlotte disappears for a while, and during this time, except for a few people, no one can find him!"
"A few people?"
Oprah looked at Rachel, who shrugged,
"Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. β
"That's a shame!"
Oprah shook her head,
"I've heard that Charlotte Booth is an elusive director, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent β but I didn't find Mr. Director, but I did receive a copy of the trailer from him. β
"Katahua!?"
Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz were stunned.
- There was no such link in the previous plan!
