Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

After a week of audition elimination, the actor candidate for "Iron Man" was reduced from the last fifty to ten. In order to select Tony Stark from the last ten people, several main actors of the crew started. Frequent meetings and discussions.

"David, that ’s not okay, I need you to do it again. Remember, Tony Stark ’s pride is kind of engraved in the bones, it does n’t need to show through the appearance, so your tone of speech needs Take it for granted. "

The remaining ten candidates are left. The crew no longer conducts concentrated auditions, but only conducts in-depth discussions and auditions with each candidate in turn, and gradually phases out, so that the most suitable can be selected in more detail. Candidates.

In a conference room in the studio, Eric patiently explained his views on Tony Stark to David Ducuni who participated in the discussion today.

David · Duchuni was supposed to be the actor of "X File". Due to the change of history, he is still just a small character in various independent movies or TV shows. Eric didn't feel much about David Ducuni's performance in "X Archives", but was impressed with his other work "California Outrageous Love". The cynicism of the down-and-coming writer Hank Moody played by David Ducuni in "California Desire" is impressive.

Eric finished, David Duchuni sitting on the opposite sofa thought for a moment, and said: "So, Eric, I will try again."

Eric turned his head and was about to instruct the staff next to him to make a line for David Ducuni, but he noticed that everyone, including José Weiden, looked at him strangely. This is obviously not the first time. In recent days, Eric always felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange. At this time, he finally could n’t help but 'break out' and said: "I warn you, dare to look at this kind of worship all day Me, be careful I deduct your salary, Sally, and compare the scene just now with David. "

Some people sitting on the sofa chuckled, and the production assistant named Sally picked up the line book, glanced at David Ducuni, confirmed it, and began to read "Iron Man" The line of magazine reporter Christine of "Vanity Fair": "Some people say you are a contemporary Fincher, what do you think?"

"It's nonsense, I don't draw anymore."

"What do you think of another nickname, Death Merchant?"

"This is not bad," David Duchouni responded: "Let me guess, Berkeley?"

"Actually, Brown University."

"Okay, Miss Brown, this world is not perfect, but we also have no choice. I assure you that if one day does not use weapons for peace, I will go to cover children ’s hospital."

The two are about to continue, and Eric interrupted: "OK, still not good, David, your tone should be faster, and, this scene should not appear too casual, probably, um, anyway, you Think about it again, if we ca n’t, we will change to the next paragraph. "

David Ducuni hesitated and said, "Eric, can you help me demonstrate it?"

Eric did n’t find a suitable adjective for a while. After listening to David Ducuni ’s words, without thinking, he nodded and turned to the production assistant: "Sally, just start from the previous paragraph."

Eric said, but did not see Joss Waden behind him excitedly gestured at the photographer responsible for the image recording. The other person naturally turned the lens to Eric.

Sally noticed Joss Whedon ’s little movement behind Eric, but she lowered her eyes pretendingly, seeing script in her hand, saying: "Mr. Stark, you have rehearsed this sentence many times. Right? "

Eric does n’t need to read lines at all. Whether it ’s the recent audition or the memory in his mind, Eric is proficient in the whole script. Similarly, no one knows what effect he wants better than him. , Quickly sorted out my thoughts, Eric replied naturally: "Talk to the mirror every night before going to bed."

Sally nodded: "I can see it."

Eric stared at Sally with a somewhat cynical smile in his mouth, and said, "I hope you can see it with your own eyes."

Being stared at by Eric ’s very natural and aggressive eyes, Sally felt a sudden fever in her face, dodged, and her tone was stumbling. Although she was already very familiar with script, she still read Wrong line: "Mr. Williams, me, I hope you can be serious."

"..." Eric was suddenly speechless.

"Haha." Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

Sarah quickly turned his face red, and there was a feeling of embarrassment that could not be added. He raised the script in his hand and stood up in front of him and ran to the bathroom next to it.

Looking at the girl's fleeing behavior, everyone laughed louder and heartlessly.

After a while, Eric clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, let ’s continue. Let ’s skip this and replace the episode of Tony Stark and Colonel Rodi on the plane."

Eric spoke, and everyone converged with laughter and began to continue the discussion.

Towards the evening, send David Ducuni to leave. Eric is about to discuss the performance of David Ducuni with José Weiden and others today, but listen to José Weiden: "Eric, get off work immediately Now, how about having a drink together? "

Eric doubt: "Huh?"

"I mean, there are still some good bars in Venice Beach," said José Whedon: "And, I want to talk to you about another thing, in fact, this is what everyone means."

Eric looked at Joss Whedon's expression and nodded: "Well, then I will be here today."

Due to the rise of Firefly Studios, Venice Beach near Playa Vista has also become a frequent meeting place for Hollywood filmmakers in recent years, and many leisure venues such as restaurants, cafes, and bars have also emerged.

Following Joss Whedon to a bar called ‘Light’, Eric suddenly realized that he had n’t had this experience in a long time.

It happens to be off work, and although the night has not yet come, the bar is already full of excitement.

Eric wore sunglasses and followed Jose Weden into the bar, watching him greet Boss in a familiar way, and asked for a more concealed deck in the corner of the bar. The two sat together .

I asked the waitress who had followed for a beer, and José Whedon asked: "Eric, what would you like to drink?"

Eric felt that the cool waitress in front of her stared at herself and took off sunglasses. She raised a finger to the girl with wide eyes and made a mute expression before laughing: "I also Have a beer. "

"Ah, okay, okay," the waitress nodded in surprise, turned around and hurried away, but it took a while before they came back with two glasses of beer again. Take off some exaggerated earrings on the ears. Put the beer in front of Eric and Joss Whedon, but the girl did not leave, and asked boldly: "Mr. Williams, can I take a picture with you?"

Eric smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, miss."

The waitress was not discouraged. She pulled out a business card from the short jacket pocket and handed it over directly: "Mr. Williams, this is my number, call me."

After finishing this sentence, the waitress did not give Eric the opportunity to refuse, and turned around and twisted her slender waist and left.

Eric picked up the business card and looked at it and said, "Jenny, oh, I think it's better to call it Jenny, I like the name Jenny."

Joss Whedon laughed: "You call her now and let her change her name, I think the girl will never refuse."

"I have no intention of doing such a boring thing," Eric shook his head, put the business card on the table, looked at Joss Whedon, and said: "So, Jos, what do you want to talk to me ? "

"Eric, do you think, among the candidates we recently auditioned, which one is most in line with your requirements?"

Eric smiled and picked up the business card on the desktop and played with it, saying: "I guess, shouldn't you want to talk about this tonight?"

Joss Webden shrugged and said, "Eric, I think you must have realized the mood of everyone at this time."

"Huh?"

"All of us feel that you are the one who knows the character Tony Stark the most, and has experienced all the auditioners over our time. In recent weeks, you have been repeatedly directing these Actor how to perform, that expression, that tone. "

Eric raised his head: "You also want me to play Tony Stark?"

Joss Whedon nodded: "I have discussed it privately with Mr. Katzenberg and Mr. Arad, and they all think this plan is feasible."

Eric hesitated for a while, remembering the recent audition process, he was indeed dissatisfied with all the auditioners. Even when recalling the performance of the small Robert · Downey in the memory, Eric also felt that he did not perform many details As expected.

"Joss, you know, I'm already a producer now. If I play the lead role again, you Director may be ******* at any time."

"If you can make this movie more perfect, even if you let me withdraw from the crew, there is no problem," Joss Whedon said without hesitation: "Eric, I am also a comic fan of" Iron Man ", so I am very I hope this movie will have the best actor for it. "

"I have n’t even participated in an audition. Although I know what kind of Tony Stark I want, are you sure I can perform?"

Joss Whedon smiled and said: "Eric, I don't think you even need to perform, as long as you can perform in person. Look at the reaction of Sally and you to the line in the afternoon just knows, among others In front of Actor, Sally never blushed. As a playboy, Tony Stark is a necessary element to have a strong attraction for women. In addition, well, I have secretly observed you for a month, you Many of his words and deeds are very similar to the Tony Stark we want. "

Eric unknowingly folded the business card in his hand into a paper airplane. He listened to Joss Whedon and looked up again, saying: "Okay, let's choose from these ten people first. "

Joss Whedon feels that the tone of Eric has been loosened, and he did not hesitate to redouble his efforts: "Eric, I know you are busy, but you should also be clear that the shoots of" Iron Man "will not occupy you Time, the planned shoots cycle is four months, if the schedule is tight, you only need to stay in the crew for less than two months, and most of it can be performed in the Los Angeles studio, even if it is foreign For drama, we just need to rush to the next Nevada. "

"The key is not this, Jos," said Eric: "There are no less than six films that need to be played for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man."

Joss Wyden said: "But this is not a problem, Eric, in addition to a few" Iron Man "main stories, other cross episodes, you must have fewer plays, maybe not even used for a month. And , We produce a movie related to "Iron Man", the average period should be two years, and two months every two years, I think for you, it is not a problem at all? "

"It seems that you made up your mind to let me come in person?"

Joss Whedon smiled and said: "Eric, to be honest, haven't you really thought about playing this role in person?"

Eric's eyes flashed and said, "I thought about playing the role of Hugh Hefner, but I don't know if he has 2000 friends now."

"Haha, this is the tone," José Whedon smiled: "Tony Stark's tone."

"Okay, okay, let me think about it. Tomorrow, um, The Day After Tomorrow will give you an answer." Eric threw the small paper plane in his hand towards Joss Weyden, but the plane crossed the block, He flew to the adjacent compartment and heard a girl's soft voice.

Joss Whedon knew that Eric had loosened his mind, and he had to persevere in lobbying a few more words. Two petite girls walked angrily, one girl still holding the paper plane in her hand. To ask the teacher to sin, he recognized Eric at a glance. His angry expression was immediately put away, but he didn't know what to say for a while. He was like two small quails.

Eric smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at the two girls with great interest, and raised his hand to point to Joss Whedon: "This guy is throwing things, don't look for me."

The girl in the black skirt with a shorter left side reacted at this moment and quickly said: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, we, we are all right."

With that said, the girl in the black dress will pull the companion next to him away.

Eric looked at the girl with a little bit of fat on her face and said, "Sarah, right, I just remember your name, Sarah · Michelle · Gella." , Eric looked at another girl and asked, knowingly, "What's your name?"

"Ah, me," the girl in the black dress didn't expect Eric to know her friend, and quickly said: "My name is Jenny Floh Hewitt."

"Oh, another Jenny Fu, I like the girl named Jenny Fu, can you have a drink?" (To be continued.)
