Chapter 557: Cameo Candidates
No matter how many doubts there are from the outside world, the movie "Iron Man" has finally decided to have Downey as the protagonist, and this will not change.
In countless unoptimistic situations, Shen Feng pulled a bunch of people and began to shoot in Haolaiwu.
Many media wanted to interview Downey and Shen Feng, but during the filming of the movie, Shen Feng ordered Downey not to accept any interviews, and should devote himself to the movie.
To this, of course, Downey gladly agreed, without any reason to resist.
He is now an actor under Shen Feng, and Downey has great respect for this well-known director, and he is also looking forward to completing his transformation under Shen Feng's hands.
In the follow-up time, Shen Feng took the script of "Iron Man" directly to Donnie, let him explore it by himself, and then consult him if he didn't understand it when filming started.
"Judging from the past few years that I have been in Hollywood, the storytelling of this script is still very good, and many places are in line with the main points of commercial blockbusters."
"I just don't know what the effect will be after filming, I just hope that Director Shenfeng's special effects team can give it a good hand, Iron Man..."
These days, Donnie has been seriously studying the script that Shen Feng gave him.
In order to play the role of Tony Stark, Donnie even took out his notebook and took notes, which was a habit he had never had before.
Time passed day by day, and on this day near the end of the month, all the affairs of the crew have been prepared, and the costumes, props, etc. are all ready.
"Iron Man" officially starts filming!
Haolaiwu, the set of "Iron Man".
On Shen Feng's left hand side sat Feng Xuewu, both of whom were senior directors, looking at the actors who were playing their acting skills in the camera, both of them commented.
"Hollywood is worthy of being a global film mecca, and even the quality of group performances is impressive." Feng Xuewu, who served as the assistant director, nodded and said.
Shen Feng raised Erlang's legs and did not respond, but stared at every subtle movement in the camera seriously.
"Card!"
Shen Feng, who was holding the script, frowned and shouted, he raised his head and said, "This paragraph is not very good, start from the beginning, Donnie you are playing a playboy now, don't be so serious, it's okay to be as exaggerated as possible!"
Downey gestured with a no-brainer, and then continued to dive into the movie.
It can be seen that this actor with a bad record of drunk driving cherishes the role he has now, and even in some places he will take the initiative to call the card, even if Shen Feng did not mention it.
....
As the filming of "Iron Man" is on the right track, many people in Hollywood are less and less optimistic about Shen Feng's commercial blockbuster.
"Although I know that the budget for this encounter is very large, making a commercial blockbuster can solve all problems with more money."
"In the past, his works were all small and broad, to be honest, I think Shen Yu may suffer a lot this time."
"That's right, especially in terms of the selection of actors, the current budget is so sufficient, it's no problem to invite an actor to be it, he is used to saving his budget."
"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Donnie poured into Shen Feng, and even asked Shen Feng to sign it for him with the brokerage contract, does he think Donnie will be very valuable in the future?" ….
"Every act of this encounter is very risky, but making a movie is a risky investment in itself."
「...」
In addition to the people who opened the dock, even many fans and viewers were puzzled.
Now Shen Feng obviously has a lot of actors to choose from, but he just chose Donnie, who is not very popular with passers-by.
"I thought Anderson would continue to star in the Shen Feng movie, that guy was born with the face of a movie corner!"
"Yes, even if you don't choose Anderson, there are many actors who have openly and secretly expressed their intention to cooperate with Shen Feng."
"It's puzzling, could it be that Shen Feng has some other special considerations?"
"Please, Shen
You're my favorite director, wake up, don't waste too much energy with Donnie."
"Let's take a look again, maybe this is just a transformation attempt by Shen Feng? He is still young, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future."
「...」
Many fans of Shen Feng also began to sigh that they are not very optimistic about the prospects of Shen Feng's latest movie.
Regarding these discussion comments, Donnie, who is studying in the crew, occasionally sees that although his heart is very uncomfortable, in fact, he himself feels that Shen Feng obviously has more and better choices.
This question has always been hidden in his heart, and it is about to become a knot.
Finally, one night, Donnie couldn't help but be curious, and knocked on Shen Feng's door to ask the question.
"Donnie? What's the matter?" Shen Feng, who was looking at the book, asked with some doubts.
Donnie touched his head and replied embarrassedly, "Director Shen, I actually have some questions for you."
"Come in, it's about the movies?" Shen Feng closed the book in his hand.
"No, no, it's all anyway." Donnie casually pulled a chair and sat down, and asked, "Director Shen, I want to know why you chose me to be the role of Iron Man in the first place?"
Seeing Donnie's solemn appearance, Shen Feng also laughed.
"That's what you're asking me about? And what do you think is the reason why I chose you?"
Donny thought for a while, then said tentatively, "I want a lower price? Do I have a better image? Or do you pity me?"
Hearing Donnie's several answers, Shen Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, let's be more in line with the image, I signed you at that time, and there was indeed this reason in it."
"But at that time, you told me about some of the experiences in your life, being dumped, drunk driving, company termination, movie role being replaced, so many bad things, but you were still able to persist in facing life bravely, I think this is very in line with the spirit of Tony Stark's character."
Hearing Shen Feng say this, Donnie couldn't help but have a sour nose, and then his eyes were slightly red.
"Okay, don't be moved by yourself here, if you want to repay me, play the role seriously." Shen Feng said with a smile.
After these days of contact, he also found that although Downey occasionally seems a little unreliable, when it comes to making movies, there is really nothing to say.
Originally, he was worried about giving Donnie an actor potion, but the acting skills and understanding of the role shown by the other party made him retract this idea. ….
In the end, Donnie talked to Shen Feng about some key points about the movie "Iron Man", and was finally sent out of the room by Shen Feng.
After closing the door to the room, Donnie's fists clenched.
It is really the greatest luck in this life to meet Shen Feng, a director.
In the past, he always lamented that he could meet nobles in other people's circles, but he couldn't, but now he finally met the person who could pull him in the dark, and this time he had to seize the opportunity to say anything.
...
In the following period, the filming of "Iron Man" is progressing steadily.
After talking to Shen Feng, Donnie also worked harder to shoot, and many shots became very smooth.
During this period, Shen Feng did not forget to invite Old Man Jon, who was far away in New York.
In every Marvel work in his previous life, Mr. Stan Lee would make a cameo appearance in an inadvertent shot, and of course Shen Feng did not forget this.
He originally wanted to appear on his own, but Professor Jon helped him a lot in the formation of the crew's special effects team, so he simply asked this old man to make a cameo.
When Professor Jon arrived on the set, many of the actors were surprised.
How can you not know this old man!
"Oh my God! Director Shen Feng invited Professor Jon over."
"This cornerstone of the film industry is here to guide me
Guys? I'm looking forward to it!"
"This is Shen Dao's connections!"
"Could it be that Director Shen Feng learned to make movies from Professor Jon? No wonder..."
The actors in the crew also know Professor Jon very well, and of course they know the status and significance of this old man in the film industry.
"Hahaha, I thought Professor Jon was going to turn me down!" Shen Feng smiled and took the old man over.
Professor Jon replied kindly, leaning on a cane, "You're the first director to let me make a cameo in a movie, and I certainly have no reason to refuse."
"I'm very old, and when I die, I hope to leave a little more trace of my existence in this world than just a few books."
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, change the source, and install the latest version.] 】
Shen Feng shook his head and said, "I see that your body is still strong, old man, and I hope to invite you to this series of commercial movies in the future!"
As soon as Shen Feng mentioned the word series, Professor Jon suddenly became interested and chatted with Shen Feng.
"A series of movies? Are you trying to create an IP?"
"yes, if the response is good, I'm going to start with this movie and start creating a separate cinematic universe."
Professor Jon is a filmmaker in the previous era, and in that era, the concept of IP did not appear at all for pan-entertainment.
Today's film market is moving closer to this trend, independent IP is becoming more and more popular, and Professor Jon certainly understands it.
After all, if you teach at a university, you definitely have to learn about something new.
Later, Shen Feng talked to Professor Jon about the structure of the Avengers movie.
After listening to Shen Feng's architectural expectations, Professor Jon nodded and said, "It's a really good idea to make a joint work with independent superhero movies one by one." ….
"But this is a big test of the logic and storytelling of each work, and I can't help you much in this regard, I'm already old."
With Professor Jon sighing deeply, Shen Feng began to arrange for Professor Jon to take a cameo shot.
Looking at the very photogenic old professor in the camera, Shen Feng couldn't help but nodded.
He didn't reveal much information about "Iron Man", and people in the outside world only thought that Shen Feng wanted to try to make a commercial blockbuster, but they didn't know that Shen Feng was preparing to create an IP blueprint for HTC.
Professor Jon's arrival at Hollywood this time also made many actors and directors curious, and they all wanted to come and visit.
Professor Jon did not accept these requests for visits, and declined all of them.
The old man's heart is very clear, although those people usually respect him very much on the surface, but they usually don't see these people express anything in action.
This time, I suddenly organized a group to visit, and it is estimated that I will either ask for something or make a show.
Professor Jon had never been a fan of such utilitarian meetings.
So after filming the cameo scene in "Iron Man", Professor Jon didn't even stay in Los Angeles and went home the next day.
There is no way, Shen Feng also knows that when people are old, they are often more willful.
simply arranged for someone to accompany the old man back to New York, for fear that there would be some accidents on his way.
...
After sending the old man away, Shen Feng began to stare at the crew again and urged the filming progress of the movie.
After all, the special effects team has just been formed, and he hopes to leave a little more time for the post-production of the film and be well prepared.
At this time, there is also news that one super blockbuster movie is scheduled to be released on the Christmas schedule.
Film companies like Pamira are beginning to refine the cinematic universe they set out to create.
And the movie "Electric Man", in which Downey was removed from the role, also officially announced that he is expected to meet fans at Christmas this year.
Originally, Donnie and Shen Feng didn't care much about this matter, but the starring actor of "Electric Man" is really a big mouth, and the remarks that mocked "Iron Man" and Downey on a certain occasion leaked out somehow.
"Although "Iron Man" may collide with "Electric Man", I don't have the slightest pressure, just like the crew chose me instead of Donnie, he is just an obsolete product, and "Iron Man" is the same!"
Such a sentence has of course caused a lot of turmoil in the industry.
Countless people stared at Shen Feng and Donnie, wanting to know how the two would respond.
However, Shen Feng and Donnie kept silent about it, as if they didn't know about it.
In fact, in private, Donnie and Shen Feng complained many times, but Shen Feng ordered him not to respond, and just take practical actions to slap the other party's face.
But this is in Haolaiwu, Shen Feng's attitude of not responding, in the eyes of everyone, it is like sitting on the fact that Shen Feng is not confident in himself.
"After all, it's the first time I've tried it, so it's normal for Shen Feng to be silent."
"After all, the crew of "Electric Man" has rich experience in shooting commercial films, and Shen Feng is the first time to try this type of work."
"But Ruhl's words are indeed a little excessive, no matter how you say it, Shen Feng has a "The Shawshank Redemption" as a foundation this year, and this achievement is not something that anyone can surpass."
"If you lose your character before the release, even if the box office surpasses "Iron Man", the popularity of passers-by will not be very good."
"Just wait and see in December."
「...」.
