Chapter 204: Cameo

Qin Muchu looked around.

His first time in Hollywood, he had never seen it in any way before, no photos, no TV or anything like that.

He was curious about this famous entertainment mecca.

Originally, he thought that Hollywood would be a place similar to Hengdian, with many movie scenes built, and crews filming could be seen everywhere.

But in fact it is not.

A very modern city, like Hong Kong Island, Shanghai, Yanjing, etc.

Luxury stores, shopping malls, restaurants, endless traffic on the road......

And where Qin Muchu is now, it is a huge factory-like place, with more than a dozen factories scattered.

"Here it is...... A sound stage? ”

Qin Muchu was unsure.

Jon's eyes lit up,

"Yes, many of the special effects shots for Iron Man were shot here. Mr. Qin knows movies well? Oh yes, Mr. Qin should also be the owner of a film company, right? ”

Qin Muchu nodded and did not say that he was the director.

But Jon's words made him feel that the fat man in front of him seemed to be more than just a driver.

"You seem to know Iron Man very well?"

Jon laughed, and his chubby face looked quite happy:

"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself clearly, in fact, I'm the director of 'Iron Man'."

Are you a director?

At this time, not only Qin Muchu was surprised, but even Liu Xiqian and Liu Xiaoli were also surprised.

This fat driver turned out to be the director of such a big production as "Iron Man"?

The director personally went to pick up the airport and was still the driver?

Is the status of Hollywood directors so low?

Jon seemed to understand the doubts of several people, scratched his hair and explained:

"Originally, Mr. Stan wanted to pick you up in person, but after all, the old man was old, and we persuaded him to come down, and I will pick you up.

Well, actually, I'm also curious about what the investors of the film are like.

You know, I've never met an investor who can completely interfere with creation, and you really can be called an angel. ”

Qin Muchu didn't expect that when he came to Hollywood, the first thing he received was an "angel card".

And the reason why he does not interfere with the creation is because "Iron Man" itself is adapted from comics, and the plot will not change much;

The second is the shooting of this kind of sci-fi blockbuster, he doesn't understand, unlike traditional film shooting, this kind of blockbuster will use a lot of motion capture technology, and the shooting cameras are different.

Since Qin Muchu can't make suggestions on the plot and shooting, he naturally won't interfere with the crew.

It is taboo for a layman to command an insider.

This movie has his 90 million dollars in it, and he doesn't want this movie to hit the streets more than anyone else.

Of course, non-interference does not mean that we do not care at all, and we still send financial and accounting supervisors to audit the accounts.

Otherwise, I don't know why the money is gone.

"Please come with me, the old man is waiting for you inside, he ...... Some can't wait. ”

Jon led the way in front, and Qin Muchu and the three followed behind.

The four of them walked into a sound studio.

It was large, empty, with furniture such as sofas and televisions, as well as machines such as cameras and radios.

The most conspicuous thing is the green screen, which is indispensable for the special effects production on the surrounding walls.

Qin Muchu was attracted by the green screen, he knew that he needed this thing for special effects shooting for a long time, but he really didn't use the green screen in his movies and TV series shooting.

The superpower scenes in "Star You" are basically shot on live or through editing, and some very simple special effects are not produced without a green screen.

Therefore, he is very curious about this thing, if he wants to make science fiction movies in the future, then this thing must be indispensable.

Sensing Qin Muchu's gaze, Jon enthusiastically introduced:

"This studio is Stark's luxury villa, and the scenes are filmed here."

Iron Man's villa?

Qin Muchu had some impressions, a very luxurious mansion, after all, Iron Man was not short of money.

But......

"Why don't you find a villa to shoot in real life?"

In the United States, it should be easy to find a big villa to film.

Why go through so much effort to build a studio and post-production special effects, which is laborious and costly.

"In fact, we also found a villa, but because of some special effects shots, we had to build a studio of the villa and use special effects to restore the villa." Jon explained.

Qin Muchu was stunned.

The use of special effects to restore the villa is a meticulous job.

Everything in the villa must be taken into account, and it must be real, and the audience will definitely wear a magnifying glass to find the difference after the movie is released.

He also has his own special effects company, but there is still a certain gap to achieve this level.

So...... Do you want to dig some corners?

Bring them from the evil capitalist society to enjoy the 996 blessings of socialism?

Just as Qin Muchu was thinking, a slightly lively old voice sounded.

That's right, lively and old.

It's contradictory, but it's not conflicting.

"Ask Jon why he hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he ran to the airport of the Celestial Empire to pick up people?

If he loses my guest, then I'm going to kick his big ass and kick him in Iron Man armor, you know what I mean? ”

At this time, a younger, helpless voice came, like coaxing a child:

"Old man, Director Jon started saying this just ten minutes after he left, and now it's less than three hours, maybe he drove there, not flying in Mark One, it takes time."

"Hmph, if it were me, even driving wouldn't be slower than the Mark One! Donnie, I've won several racing races when you're your age! ”

"A friendly match between neighbors or a bumper car final at an amusement park?"

……

Listening to the voice that came, a trace of ripples appeared in Qin Muchu's heart, and his eyes became a little hot.

If that's right, the two people who spoke were ......

Donnie followed Stan Lee closely, keeping an eye on the wires and scattered props under his feet to prevent the old man from accidentally tripping, and the fun would be great.

The reason why I didn't support it was because the old man didn't let me.

He also talked about the story he had to tell to a few big babes some time ago in the morning, although because the plot was too nonsense, everyone agreed that he was bragging.

But Stan Lee was adamant that he was telling the truth, so much so that he could raise Thor's hammer while he said it.

Standard disobedience.

Turning his head inadvertently, Downey suddenly noticed that there were a few strangers in the studio.

His gaze instantly skimmed over the strange man and stayed on the two women.

Wow, beautiful oriental woman.

Fortunately, Jon's huge body broke into his eyeballs at this moment, and he came back to his senses.

"Donnie, you didn't take the opportunity to speak ill of me in front of the old man, maybe I can consider adding a few kiss scenes to you, what do you think?"

Jon had a playful smile on his chubby face and put his arm around Donnie's shoulder.

Against the backdrop of his tall and burly figure, Donnie is like a little chick, caught in the arms of a hen.

Donnie was obviously very upset with this action, and gave Jon a blow to the stomach,

"Maybe I'll be happier if you add a few more scenes of Tony beating Harpy."

Jon didn't mind in the slightest, his big belly just trembled, and he didn't feel any pain.

didn't continue to argue with Donny, but turned to look at Old Man Stan Lee on the side, and laughed:

"Old man, it looks like you won't have a chance to kick my ass."

Then he turned to Qin Muchu:

"I brought it to you."

Stan Lee followed Donnie's gaze, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say:

"Wow, that's incredible."

Then he walked towards Qin Muchu, his old face full of smiles.

Qin Muchu was also a little excited, the white-haired old man in front of him was the "father of Marvel", the creator of a series of famous superheroes such as Iron Man and Spider-Man.

Looking at the old man who was getting closer and closer, Qin Muchu took two steps forward and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with him.

Whether it's his accomplishments or his age, Stan Lee is respectful enough.

This is the American version of Jin Yong.

"S...... Hiss-"

The former was a no-shout, and the latter was a gasp.

Stan Lee smiled and passed him past him, and walked straight to ...... Liu Xiaoli!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Qin, I never knew you were such a beautiful lady, forgive me for addressing you as Mr. in my letter."

Stan Lee sincerely apologized to Liu Xiaoli.

This unfolding of God made everyone present stunned.

Donnie looked at Jon in disbelief:

"So our boss is an Oriental woman? I always thought he was a middle-aged greasy guy with a big belly like you. ”

As he spoke, he patted Jon's big belly again.

Jon responded to Donnie's personal attacks with a belly flick off Donnie's hand, and ignored Donnie's sarcastic Downey, as they often taunted each other on set.

Immediately walk towards Stan Lee:

"Wrong, wrong, old man, Mr. Qin is indeed a man."

"Male? Jon, do you think I'm a dizzy old man? Can't tell the difference between men and women? ”

Stan Lee thinks Jon is playing tricks on him and decides that he still wants to kick his ass.

"No, no."

Jon laughed and cried, and explained:

"This is not Mr. Qin, they were brought by Mr. Qin, and the real Mr. Qin is there."

Jon pointed his hand and pointed at Qin Muchu, who was standing awkwardly.

Stan Li looked at Qin Muchu and was shocked by his youthful appearance.

This is also the reason why he thinks that Liu Xiaoli is "Mr. Qin", only Liu Xiaoli looks older among the three, and the other two are too young.

Stan Lee thinks they might be secretaries and bodyguards.

Looking at Jon again, Stan Lee approached him and whispered:

"Jon, if you dare to trick me, I swear, I'll kick your ass!"

"Old man, I want to be kicked by you, but reality doesn't allow it."

Jon smiled helplessly, if he hadn't gone to pick up the plane, he couldn't believe that the ninety million dollar investment came from such a young man.

Stan Lee still didn't want to believe the affirmative answer from Jon, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't believe it.

I saw him smile again, walked towards Qin Muchu, and said with almost the same words as Liu Xiaoli just now:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I never knew you were such a young man, forgive me for the rude I just had."

After a pause, he winked mischievously at Qin Muchu again:

"Young, rich, handsome men deserve to be snubbed among people of the same sex, aren't they?"

Qin Muchu smiled.

What an interesting old man.

……

In the next few days, Mr. Stan Lee took Qin Muchu not only to visit the filming locations of "Iron Man", but also to visit Marvel Studios.

Contrary to Qin Muchu's expectations, the Marvel studio at this time was not grandiose, it was just a small company several stories high, with many Marvel comics and animated character dolls.

The company is still a little dilapidated, like it hasn't been renovated for a long time.

"This is the original site, and now it's no longer here, it's a museum-like thing."

Stan Lee's gaze swept over the comics, his eyes full of memories and nostalgia.

Marvel has been around for nearly 70 years since its founding, and he has been with Marvel all the way.

"When I entered Marvel, I was about the same age as you, how fast." Stan Lee sighed with emotion.

Qin Muchu didn't speak, a comic company can exist for nearly 70 years, it can be said that it has become an indispensable symbol of the country where it is located, influencing the growth of generation after generation.

"Oh, when I'm older, I always like to remember the past."

Stan Lee waved his hand, and a smile instantly appeared on his face, which had just been emotional.

Qin Muchu's relationship these days has also figured out some of the old man's temper and character.

In a nutshell, it's three words - old children.

There are joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and sometimes they will have a temper like a child, and they need someone to coax them, but sometimes they will sigh about life in an old tone like just now.

It's a bit of a "do what you want and don't go beyond the rules", behind the old child is the open-mindedness to see through the world.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, what is your profession? I guess it's not just the owner of a film and television company, right?

You seem to be interested in movies, I mean yours is not interested in movies by the owners of film and television companies, but in another, the creator's.

Perhaps, you are an actor or a director? ”

Stan Lee said suddenly.

Qin Muchu was taken aback, he didn't expect Stan Li to be so good at speculating, and he was so accurate.

Just because he was interested in Jon during the filming to deduce this information, it can only be said that he is indeed a demon.

Qin Muchu did not deny it, and directly and generously admitted it, which was nothing to hide.

"Old man, I am indeed a director...... is also an actor. ”

"Haha."

Stan Lee smiled happily, as if he was happy that he had guessed correctly.

"Let me guess again, you must be very famous in the Celestial Empire, right?"

Stan Lee blinked, like a bet child.

Qin Muchu smiled and nodded:

"Fame is okay, but how did you guess that?"

Stan Li approached Qin Muchu's ear and whispered:

"Secret."

Qin Muchu smiled.

The old man's bad character has been seen many times these days.

Stan Lee walked away as if he had succeeded in his mischief.

In fact, Qin Muchu's identity was found through the Internet, Qin Muchu's popularity in Asia is very high, although his reputation in Europe and the United States is almost zero, but as long as he wants to check, he can still find some news on the Internet.

"So, since you're both a director and an actor, do you have any interesting ideas for tomorrow's cameo?" Stan Lee asked suddenly.

Yes, cameos.

Stan Lee invited Qin Muchu to make a cameo appearance in "Iron Man" together, leaving traces in the movie.

It is a form for the elderly to express their gratitude.

His wish is to leave a mark on every Marvel work in the little time he has left, that is, to make a cameo appearance in every Marvel movie.

If Qin Muchu is willing, he wants to invite Qin Muchu to make a cameo appearance with him, in every Marvel movie.

is not only because Qin Muchu Marvel lent a helping hand when Marvel needed help the most, but also because after a few days of getting along, the old man felt that Qin Muchu was also a pure person.

He has lived for more than 80 years, and he is confident that no one can hide his eyes.

"My thoughts?" Qin Muchu was stunned.

Originally, the old man had already surprised him by inviting him to make a cameo appearance in the Marvel series, but he didn't expect to let him play a cameo role freely.

If it's just a cameo in a certain movie, it's nothing, at most it's a face-showing trick.

But the whole Marvel series is different.

In the memory of his previous life, so far, there is only one person throughout the entire Marvel Universe series, and that is Stan Lee.

The creators of Marvel.

He has a different identity in every Marvel movie.

was jokingly called Marvel's OAA by some netizens, that is, God, in fact, on a certain level, it is indeed true.

But if you also make a cameo appearance in every Marvel work, your status is not ordinary.

has also become a big boss in the Marvel Universe?

"What? Isn't that your specialty? Stan Li's words brought Qin Muchu back to his senses.

"Okay, no problem."

Almost without hesitation, Qin Muchu agreed.

It's just a cameo, and he is still completely sure of a few seconds of footage.

……

"Ready, go!"

As Jon's order to start filming was given, the actors immediately got into the groove.

This is a press conference.

There were dozens of reporters sitting in the audience, all of whom came for the true identity of Iron Man.

Qin Muchu watched quietly from the side.

When he arrived at the crew of "Iron Man", he realized how nonsense this crew was.

Can you believe that a $150 million movie has no script?

Of course, it is not completely unscripted, giving the general events and plot directions, but the specific line performance basically depends on the free play of the actors and the director's on-site creation.

A strong sense of Hong Kong Island film shooting......

Geneva, get your money back!

Fortunately, Jon felt Qin Muchu's dissatisfaction and took remedial measures in time.

Now is the time for remedial action.

……

"I didn't say you're a superhero." A female reporter said.

Tony was a little embarrassed and a little nervous

"Uh, no? That's good, because the idea is obviously strange and ridiculous.

I have a lot of problems and character flaws......"

According to the original script, this paragraph is his monologue.

But at this time, a Chinese female reporter suddenly stood up in the group of reporters, it was Liu Xiqian.

She pointed the microphone at Tony:

"Mr. Stark, the masses need a truth!"

The camera panned to Liu Xiqian's face, she wore frameless eyes, and her slightly wrinkled eyes were full of determination.

It's a bit of a beautiful reporter who pursues the truth.

"Read as written, and don't be fooled by beauty." Rod reminded.

"The truth is ......"

Tony looked at the manuscript paper in his hand, and suddenly put it down, his eyes gradually firm:

“I am Iron Man.”
