This scene is the most difficult stage in the whole film.

A billionaire suddenly becomes a prisoner, and the drastic change in identity brings about a change in mood. Once the mood changes, anything else will change accordingly, just like two people in front and behind.

If the acting skills are not good, 90% of the actors will be stuck here. But when it comes to Robert Downey Jr., everything becomes simpler.

Maybe it was because he had "sinked" for too long before, but now it should be the time for him to rise.

"How about it, big director, do I need some advice on my performance?" Donnie was always Donnie. He just shocked the audience, and he immediately came back to find the venue and actually teased the director.

Chen Tiandu looked constipated and stammered: "Well... Actually... I think... there are still some places that need to be improved. Your expression, yes, when I choked just now, it was like a pregnant woman giving birth. You know I'm not a fool, I've seen a pregnant woman giving birth. But... this scene...is probably like this, so as not to waste film. You know, film is very expensive now."

"cut"

Donnie turned around and left arrogantly, laughter came from people around him.

No matter how much you joke, when the work starts, no one dares to slack off at all. At lunch time, Kevin Feige came over to chat and asked in confusion: "Chen, I find that you pay special attention to creating the human nature of superheroes, which is different from the previous superheroes. On the contrary, it is a bit like the Hulk directed by the Li Case... Well, I'm not saying that the Li Case is not good, but his Hulk is not accepted by American audiences."

Chen Tian knew his concerns, put down the lunch box and explained seriously: "There are still many differences. Cage. You haven't grasped the essence of commercial blockbusters yet. That is, the market place."

"Everyone pays too much attention to human description. There seems to be little difference?"

“There is a big difference.”

Chen Tiandu said: "The reason why the Hulk in Li case opened high and left low is that he failed to make the audience really happy. He is committed to shaping the heart of Bruce Banner, which is good. He has also received praise from the media and film critics. But he has made too many art films before and is too serious about human nature to ignore the audience. My movies are different. If you don't believe me, ask Donnie, is he happy to act?"

"Hey, it's so good." Robert Downey Jr. responded vaguely, "Please, it's time to eat."

Chen Tiandu ignored him and continued: "Tony Stark seems to be just one character, but in fact two." Kevin Feige frowned, he didn't understand.

"I can explain this question." Donny was also interested and came over and said, "One is called Iron Man and the other is called Tony Stark."

Kevin Fitch nodded, and he seemed to understand.

"Iron Man is a character created in comics. He represents a sense of pleasure. He can spend a lot of money, keeps luxury cars and beauties. He also has a genius head. Tony Stark is the soul of our movie. He has experienced the transformation from Playboy to Iron Man, and the psychological process is the key to the movie."

"That's right." Chen Tiandu took over the topic and said: "Iron Man is just a visual symbol. Any director can shoot well, and many actors can play well. And if we want to make "Iron Man" like a real masterpiece and is well received, then what we need to do is to shape the character Tony Stark. In fact, I have already tried to pull the deified superhero back to the ground and become a human in "Batman". This time Iron Man will be more thorough because this character itself has certain practical significance."

"Maybe after this movie is released, there will be one less actor in the world called Robert Downey Jr., but there will be another superstar called Tony Stark. You will become synonymous with Iron Man, Tony."

Robert Downey Jr. frowned, "My name is Donnie, I can play any role." No actor likes to be fixed.

"Okay, Tony, I believe."

“…”

Although Robert Downey Jr. claims to be a genius and his performance is indeed a genius, a continuous film is always inevitable.

In front of the cave, dozens of terrorists were in front of them. The ragged little Robert Downey walked out in shackles, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, gently blocking the sun with his handcuffed palms...

“ut!”

Chen Tiandu called for a pause again, pulling over the puzzled Downey and said, "Downey, your expression here is too much. You are not qualified to be angry now, but you can't be despair."

Donnie frowned and thought for a long time, "I don't quite understand. Shouldn't you be angry about seeing the weapons of his company and being manipulated by his own terrorists? Besides, Tony will be saved later, and he should have some angry expressions. But he is not saved now, and he doesn't know whether he can leave alive, so he also feels a little desperate."

Chen Tiandu shook his head and argued with him: "Have you read "The Crucifix"?"

"What does that have to do with it?"

"The time and place here are completely different things when entering the cave before, Donnie." Chen Tiandu said: "Look, Tony Stark was arrested just before. When he saw a terrorist for the first time, his eyes could be angry and despair. But now he has lived in the cave for several days and has experienced the biggest change in his life. It's like being imprisoned and not seeing the sun for a long time. What would you have when you first came out to let the wind out?"

Donnie suddenly touched and said suspiciously: "You can't ask me to play Iron Man because I was in jail."

Chen Tian was speechless, "Please, people cannot be narcissistic to this extent. Marvel was not mine at that time. Who would spend a few years waiting for a man? My sexual orientation is very healthy."

Donnie laughed and said, "Okay, you won. Let's try again."

Chen Tiandu instructed: "Remember, come out like Jesus."

Do it again.

The moment he was lifted off his head hood, there was still dazzling sunshine. Tony Stark, who was dirty all over, raised his arms to block the sunshine. His eyes... no, no eyes. There were only over-tired bags of eyes. They were as calm as a puppet.

When I saw the various missiles and arms surrounding the "Stark" logo placed casually, the expression on my face finally changed, frowning, and then confused and sad.

“good!”

In this performance, Tony Stark had not had many lines with terrorists, but he had to show confusion, guilt, and shock several different psychological emotions, and where there were no lines. Robert Downey Jr. expressed an extremely wonderful emotional change with his eyes, extremely subtle facial expressions and rhythm changes, which made people feel a subtle atmosphere.

This superb acting skill is also admirable.

Chen Tiandu shouted, "It's over, Tony, you're so amazing."

Since it is called "Iron Man", the most important prop in this film is naturally Iron Man's armor.

All the "mark1, 2, 3" armors are iron clothes worn by "Iron Man" led by four-time Academy Award winner Stan Winston, led his dress and special effects team.

Before Stan Winston's studio began to design clothing, Chen Tiandu had already communicated with them about the design concepts and roles. In the movie, Tony Stark designed the first steel suit when he was captured, called Mark1, which was originally called "Gray Armor" in the early Marvel comics.

The work of making mark1 steel clothes and other steel clothes is under the responsibility of Shane Manhan. Chen Tiandu wants this steel clothes. It does not require a high-tech work. The most important thing is to look strong enough.

Based on this concept, gray armor is also composed of many metal parts, shell parts and other piles of materials.

Shane Manhan's team is also very smart, not only meeting the director's requirements, but also making the weight of the steel suit lighter, the better without weakening the persuasiveness, because they have to make sure that Robert Downey Jr. and the stand-in staff don't act clumsy when wearing costumes.

The mark1 steel suit made by Shane Manhan is indeed very solid, which was tested unexpectedly by the stand-in staff. At that time, the stand-in was wearing a complete set of steel suits. After just taking one of the shots of the cave, he accidentally fell to the ground, which scared everyone.

The first thought of people is: "Hope Mike is OK."

Then he immediately thought: "I hope the steel suit is not broken."

This is the only set of mark1 steel suits on the crew, so if something goes wrong, they can only find a way to fix it. Fortunately, the stunt actor was not injured, and the steel suits were not damaged.

When it was Robert Downey Jr.'s turn to put on the iron suit himself, he couldn't help but admire the stand-in staff from the bottom of his heart. He later said in an interview: "I have been acting for so many years and I am still in good health, but when I first wore the mark1 steel suit, I became a little broken. I don't have claustrophobia, but after wearing this costume for a few hours, your mood will begin to be a little anxious. I hope I can change the stand-in staff to rescue you as soon as possible."

...

In fact, the plot setting of superhero movies is not actually a big gap with all kinds of stories such as Hong Kong gambling movies, the Young and Dangerous series, or Korean male and female emotional dramas. They all adopt the same story mode. After the protagonist was bullied by the villain at first, he became powerful for some reason, and then defeated the villain. The plot is very simple. Almost every type of drama will go through this process, and even many plots are very similar.

Whether it is the vicious future mother-in-law, the boss who oppresses the protagonist in the company, or the gangster boss or terrorist, they are actually just a form of expression of "villains". In such a fixed plot, there is only one factor that really makes people feel the difference between good and bad, that is, whether the protagonist is touching enough.

The biggest reason for most movies to fight villains is "personal purpose", in order to get love by themselves, to become a leader in a certain industry, to make a name for themselves, etc., the protagonists in these stories are usually small characters close to life, and all the emotions that can easily touch the audience. The actors are also able to act with ease.

The same is true in "Iron Man". Before defeating the villain, heroes need to be taught a lesson by the villain first, and then they can seize the opportunity to rise and explode at critical moments, so that they can feel refreshed.

But what should be done so that the audience will not feel "passed", "not good-looking", "disappointed", "so bad", "scrap" and "scrap movies". This will test the skill of a director.

Chen Tian is a veteran of dealing with this kind of plot, and he easily controls this story mode of suppressing first and then rising. At the same time, he does not lose Tony Stark's humor and will not make the audience dull.

Once they entered the state, everyone felt Chen Tiandu’s shooting speed like a “thunder storm”.

Whether it was Robert Downey Jr. who worked with Chen Tiandu for the first time or Kevin Feige who watched Chen Tiandu for the first time filming, they were a little surprised, "It turns out that this is how the nickname of the Quick Gunner came from."

"The scene has a strong sense of camera, and each scene is full of purpose. No wonder people suspect that the entire movie has been constructed in advance in his head."
