In the afternoon, Murphy arrived in Burbank, where there are a large number of studios, and the huge studio converted from the Hughes Aircraft Factory is the best among them. Its area, height and volume are all photographed in Burbank The leader in the shed is very suitable for building some tall and wide scenes.

Without much effort, Murphy entered the studio. Because the crew was shooting, he didn't look for Robert Downey Jr. who was hanging a motion capture device, but just stood quietly watching from the outside.

This is obviously an action scene, a red-haired woman in a tight black uniform, constantly showing off her sexy figure in front of the camera, and then replaced by a shorter male stand-in to complete a series of difficult fighting moves on her behalf.

"Black Widow?" Murphy guessed the identity of the protagonist of this scene with just one glance. After all, Scarlett Johansson's face is not unfamiliar at all. "There is a black widow in "Iron Man". widow?"

He was a little confused.

Footsteps sounded from the side, and Murphy turned his head to look. Robert Downey Jr., who was wearing a motion capture device, probably saw him and walked over.

When he came to his side, Murphy pointed to Scarlett Johansson in front of the camera lens, "Is she playing the role of Black Widow?"

"That's right, it's Black Widow." With Robert Downey Jr.'s character, even if Murphy didn't ask, he would take the initiative to say a lot of things, "Agent Natasha Normanoff is the agent of Marvel Pictures. It was decided to join at the end of May."

He raised his hand, wanting to pat Murphy on the shoulder, but when he saw the dark blue motion capture suit he was wearing, he put it down again, and continued, "The Black Widow appeared in this film all because of you."

Murphy glanced at Robert Downey Jr., but didn't ask the specific reason. Even if he didn't ask, Robert Downey Jr. would take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, Robert Downey Jr. couldn't stop at all, "After the success of your "Man of Steel", Gail's Wonder Woman has been well received and has become a recognized highlight of the film. Marvel Pictures believes that this model It can be used as a reference, so I found..."

He gestured to Scarlett Johansson with his chin, "Find that New York girl to play Agent Natasha Normanoff."

Murphy withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Robert Downey Jr., "How does it feel to play Tony Stark?"

"Tired, very tired!" Robert Downey Jr. sighed, "For this role, I need to exercise for two hours a day, which is simply a kind of torture."

"I'm still not the worst." He pointed to Scarlett Johansson, who walked in front of the camera again, "Her role was added temporarily. For this role, she has to set aside four hours a day for fitness and practice Some fighting routines, and the arm seems to be injured."

In front of the camera lens, Scarlett Johansson made a roll on the spot, and then posed a sexy POSS...

Regardless of the actress's reputation, during the time Murphy watched, she showed enough hard work and dedication.

In the inherent concept, compared with those actresses who are good at acting in literary films, it seems that the vases in commercial films can always get the role easily and become famous without paying too much, but in many cases, the truth is not at all. in this way.

How long have Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore been training for their roles in Angels of the Thunderbolt?

Orlando Bloom spent months training with archery and fitness for Legolas, and at one point even strained his hamstring.

There are also former vases, such as Megan Fox, how much did you pay for shooting Transformers? Only the person involved knows what it feels like to run thousands of feet in a sky-high dress.

In this circle, the people who can become famous are all lucky people, but behind the luck is hard work that others can't see.

In the same way, even if there are two stunt doubles, if Scarlett Johansson wants to play Agent Natasha Normanoff well, she will pay no less than her performance in a literary film.

Even more.

After chatting with this long-winded guy, Robert Downey Jr. was called away by the staff to prepare for the next filming. Murphy followed the transition crew and went to the other side of the studio. , walked away from Scarlett Johansson who was about to remove her makeup, and both sides nodded slightly.

Although I didn't know each other before, the Hollywood circle is so big, who knows if there will be a job intersection in the future.

However, Murphy's biggest feeling is that he was able to influence the trend of Marvel superhero movies in an alternative way.

The filming resumed, and Murphy stood far away on the periphery. Murphy was thinking while watching. Combining some words just chatted with Robert Downey Jr., it is not difficult for him to find that Jon Favreau's power as a director is quite limited.

After all, directors like Murphy are in the minority. The initial funding for the filming came entirely from himself, and he had the final say on how to shoot and how to do it. It will not be restricted everywhere like a newcomer director.

Jon Favreau's restrictions on the set are not obvious, and only people like Murphy who are also directors can empathize with them. question.

In Murphy's crew, Robert would never do this.

Of course, no one can deny the importance of an excellent legal adviser to a Hollywood crew.

As Murphy mentioned before, big Hollywood companies have always been prudent. In order to eliminate all factors that hinder the realization and recovery of film commercial value, the prudence of big companies is also reflected in their continued emphasis on the law.

No company wants to encounter lawsuits involving personal rights or defamation in a movie project. No matter how high the cost and how cumbersome the process is, it is necessary to conduct rounds of legal review of the movie content to reduce the risk of litigation. to minimum.

In the case of a script, every element, whether it's a character, event, scene, or dialogue, will at least be clear: What does this element show or describe? Is it a real person or fact? If it is true, is there any hidden danger that may lead to legal disputes?

Apart from these, it is not difficult for those who follow Hollywood to notice that there is one thing that often causes trouble for film companies, and that is the phone number.

As for whether the phone number in the film coincides with the real number, in the past, the production company would spend time to test and verify, or simply open a new number, otherwise the actual phone owner would be pissed off, and they would have to Bear the impact and losses caused to it.

This is why nine out of ten of the phone numbers that appear in today's Hollywood movies start with 555, and the numbers between 555-0100 and 555-0199 are specially reserved, which can be understood as special numbers for film and television.

There are also movies adapted from real people and real events. The film company will adapt, modify, add or delete part or all of the information provided by the story and any movie character prototype. In order to avoid trouble, it is necessary to introduce enough legal protection.

A smart lawyer will remind the studio to require the prototype of the film character to sign a "waiver", declaring that they will waive any possible future litigation rights. As a consideration, they can obtain certain compensation or licensing fees, and some popular characters can even participate in the film. share of net profit.

In addition, the newspapers and periodicals in reality are also places that need attention. Robert reminded Murphy that it is not difficult for attentive audiences to find that the newspapers that appeared in all Murphy’s past movies are very weird, without dates or any specific events, and the content is very different. Same, there's a bust of a smiling lady, a man in a hat, and that's a movie prop with no copyright or other issues.

Seeing Robert Downey Jr. appearing on the set, Murphy came back to his senses and concentrated on watching the filming of "Iron Man". It's true that Jon Favreau is a new director, but every director has his merits. There are others to learn from, too.

The studio converted from the large hangar of the Hughes Aircraft Factory is arranged in the shape of a cave. The three cameras are skillfully set up on the reserved shooting positions at angles that do not affect each other. The focus of the lens is It was all the haggard man standing at the old workbench.

Murphy watched the performance of Robert Downey Jr., a talented Hollywood actor in the early 1990s, and his experience was quite similar to that of Tony Stark, who is currently playing, to a certain extent.

Both are geniuses, both experienced the trough of life, and finally chose to save themselves.

On the set, Robert Downey Jr. picked up a hammer and slammed the metal plate in front of him. His expression was dignified and his eyes were firm. His self-help.

The hammer struck the metal sheet one after another, as if he had completely entered the world of Tony Stark. Robert Downey Jr. waved his hand extremely powerfully, and the loud knocking sound spread to every corner of the studio...

Murphy stayed until Robert Downey Jr. finished filming, leaving the Hughes Aircraft Factory studio with him.

Robert Downey Jr. handed over his sports car to his assistant and got into Murphy's off-road vehicle. When the car drove out of Burbank, he suddenly said, "The person who framed me is almost clear."

Without turning his head, Murphy asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"No." Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "Didn't you say that such a thing does not need evidence."

"Hmm..." Murphy nodded slightly, and asked again, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's revenge!" Robert Downey Jr. said sinisterly, "I want them to pay the price as quickly as possible! These two bastards! I want them to taste how I was abused!"

He turned to look at Murphy, "You disagree?"
