Made in Hollywood

Chapter 570 Downey and the Joker

"it is finally over."

When Duke shouted to pass, the three actors in the field came over, Scarlett Johansson yawned deliberately, and said, "For more than half a year, it's like living in purgatory, this is me The hardest movie ever made."

"I really envy you, you can return to a happy life."

Robert Downey Jr. jokingly said, "But I still have to roll in purgatory."

"My crew is so scary?" Duke looked up from behind the monitor. "Do I need to add a scene for you?"

"It's not necessary at all."

That flight scene that relied on motion capture has already made Robert Downey Jr. regretful. He quickly said, "Duke, I think my role is enough. You should consider Scarlett."

Samuel L. Jackson looked at the time and said to Duke, "I have an appointment with Quentin Tastino tonight. Duke, I'll take my leave."

"I'm planning a party at home tonight..."

Hearing Duke's words, Samuel Jackson hesitated, and finally shook his head with only one eye, "Sorry, Duke, I made an appointment with Quentin the other day."

Duke's first cast of Iron Man was Scarlett Johansson, while Marvel Comics' first cast for the entire series was Samuel Jackson.

In the final version of the comics that Marvel has released, the character Nick Fury is shown in the image of an African American. From appearance, character to behavior, they are all based on Samuel L. Jackson. With his own consent, correspondingly, Samuel Jackson, who was paid in full, also played the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the series.

After leaving Warner Studios, many of the crew rushed to Duke Manor. Participated in a party hosted by Duke, but because the filming continued the next day, the party was only limited to the level of drinking, and it did not evolve into a typical Hollywood-style rave party.

"Duke, I heard the Joker will be the main villain in your next Batman?"

Carrying a mug of beer. Robert Downey Jr found Duke, "What do you think of me?"

He didn't look like he was joking and clearly wanted to continue working with Duke.

"You want to play the clown?" Duke certainly could hear what Robert Downey Jr. meant. "This role is very difficult, and it doesn't match your usual acting style."

Every actor has a role that suits him and a character that doesn't suit him at all. Actors who can play all roles well. This world does not exist.

"I think I can."

Probably because the performance in the recent filming is getting better and better, and Robert Downey Jr.'s confidence is also recovering quickly. "Someone once said that he is the best clown in the world, and no one can surpass his 1989 version of the clown. "

Duke frowned slightly. The person Robert Downey Jr. mentioned was obviously Jack Nicholson.

Robert Downey Jr. took a gulp of beer and spoke again without waiting for Duke to ask anything. "Jack Nissenelson used to laugh at me and my father, he said we were a family of idiots. The Downeys are a depraved family of perverts and voyeurs, and I wanted to look good on him, but you know. I don't have that ability right now."

Hearing what he said, Duke had secretly rejected this possibility, and replied tactfully, "I will consider it."

Even if it does not involve personal grudges, Duke does not think that Robert Downey Jr. is suitable for the role of the clown. There are no indispensable actors in this world, and Heath Ledger is no exception, but not every actor is suitable for a certain role. , Robert Downey Jr.'s personal characteristics are obviously contrary to the clown.

Last year, Duke also met Heath Ledger. According to the time, it is estimated that he has entered Ang Lee's crew. As long as the conditions are suitable, he is still the first choice of the Joker.

As for whether he will die because of this, it is not in Duke's consideration at all, and Heath Ledger's drug addiction is not a matter of a year or two, even without this film and this role, with him The degree of crazy drug use and his own personality, the possibility of dying in the end is still infinite.

Moreover, how many dead Hollywood stars are worthy of sympathy?

River Phoenix died of a drug overdose, Whitney Houston drowned in a bathtub after taking drugs, David Carradine was tortured to death playing an abuse game with a Thai ladyboy, Heath Ledger died of drug addiction...

This is indeed a circle that cannot be measured by common sense, but there are not a few stars who are more stressed than them but are healthy and alive. After all, the road is chosen by oneself.

Taking a step back, what are the consequences of rashly trying to save a person? This is a society that pays great attention to privacy and personal freedom. Touching the privacy and secrets of others is often a thankless thing.

In this kind of thing, Duke will always act as a bystander. Just like Nicolas Cage's financial crisis, he can only give a few side-by-side reminders at most.

Because there was still a shoot the next day, the party was over before ten o'clock. Others, including Robert Downey Jr., left one after another, with only Scarlett Johansson trailing behind.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Duke entered the living room of the villa, and Scarlett Johansson followed from behind.

"Can I stay here tonight?" she asked suddenly.

Because of the mother's relationship, this villa has always had Scarlett Johansson's room.

Duke also drank some wine tonight. After hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Although she cast her gaze like a hunter looking at her prey, Scarlet unconsciously remembered what Duke looked like when she was a child, but she still straightened her body, "Of course I want to stay here, this is me. s home."

"Your home?" Duke stared at her.

Scarlett looked at him with the same eyes, "Duke, you know what I went through in my childhood, it was you and my godmother who gave me the warmth of my family..."

Speaking of this, there was a bit of resentment in her eyes, "Although you gradually distanced yourself from me because of the trivial problem of my chattering and rambling, I have been paying attention to you. Your growth, success and Every achievement I've made has grown with me..."

"I..." She suddenly sighed, "When a girl enters puberty and should start falling in love, I find out sadly that I have no interest in people my age at all. I am used to seeing rational, mature and strong people. Appearance, peers in my eyes are synonymous with childishness and stupidity. Then, I know that I like mature men, do you understand why?"

The former Scarlett Johansson had a strong uncle complex in the early days. The Scarlett Johansson in front of her grew up with her mother since childhood, and her personality and temperament have changed a lot from the past. Duke did not expect that this would not be the case. The changed uncle complex turned out to be his own reason.

The little girl who used to be noisy in front of him has grown up completely.

The relationship between the two was indeed cold for a period of time because of Scarlett's chatter and troublesome nature, but after all, it has come to the current road.

Just like Ivanka Trump, Duke never lacked the courage to make a decision when it was time to do so.

The next moment, Dukla picked up Scarlett Johansson's hand and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor. In a place he couldn't see, the corner of Scarlett's mouth suddenly drew a very high arc.

"This manor is about to welcome a second mistress."

The housekeeper standing in the corner of the living room thought so. She had served Duke for many years, and she knew that Scarlett also had her own advantages. Compared with Ivanka Trump's troublesome father Donald Trump, Scarlett Johansson's family is basically not a problem.

Scarlett Johansson and Ivanka Trump have very different personalities. Although their chatty and troublesome personality has gradually changed over the years, they are not the kind of introverted and relatively quiet person.

However, Scarlett will not have a business conflict with Duke and the Rosenberg family.

To this day, Donald Trump's investment in instant sharing websites is still a boulder between Duke and Ivanka Trump. Although the two broke up peacefully, they have never seen each other again. Gram has never let up on Donald Trump's investments.

Ivanka Trump wants to introduce the funds of the Trump family into this company that is favored by Wall Street and countless IT bigwigs. Duke, who can veto it by one vote, is the mountain that cannot be crossed.

Of course, in terms of movies, Duke's career is not impossible to give up on instant sharing, but he doesn't want to be profited by Donald Trump, who has taken advantage of him countless times.

Everyone has a bottom line in their hearts, and Donald Trump's previous actions, although not likely to attract Duke's counterattack, have touched this bottom line.

What's more, there are many companies interested in Duke's shares, and he can use it to exchange for something he wants.

For example, the two founders of Google have always wanted to acquire Instant Share, and they have contacted Duke several times, but they were a little hesitant about the way Duke offered to exchange shares. He also holds nearly 20% of Google's shares. If the shares in his hands continue to increase, it will inevitably affect the two people's control of the company.

Like this kind of stock-for-stock acquisition, it is impossible not to pay for A shares with voting rights.

Therefore, Google has always been in contact with Duke, and the shares that are shared immediately are not Duke's non-sale products. What the two sides need to do is to find a point in their differences that is acceptable to each other.

In addition, there is Apple. Steve Jobs is also very interested in this website, but his main energy is on the developers of new mobile phone products. When Duke went to participate in Apple's new shareholders' meeting, he also saw Concept version of the new product. (To be continued ~^~)
