After a week of audition elimination, the candidates for the Iron Man actor were reduced from the last fifty to ten. In order to select Tony Stark from the last ten, several main creators of the crew began to hold frequent meetings and discussions.ん

"David, this can't be done, I need you to do it all over again. Remember, Tony Stark's pride is etched in the bones and doesn't need to be shown through appearance at all, so the tone of your speech needs to be taken for granted. ."

With the last ten candidates remaining, the crew no longer conducts centralized auditions, but conducts in-depth discussions and auditions with each candidate in turn, and gradually eliminates them, so that the most suitable candidates can be selected more carefully.

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

David Duchovny was originally supposed to be the male protagonist in the archives, but due to the change of history, he is still just a small corner in various movies or TV shows. Eric was unimpressed by David Duchovny's performance in the archives, but was impressed by his other work, California. The cynicism of Hank Moody, the soul writer played by David Duchovny in the California extravagance, is impressive.

After Eric finished speaking, David Duchovny, who was sitting on the opposite sand, asked for a moment and said, "Then, Eric, I will try again."

Eric turned his head and was about to instruct the staff next to him to give lines to David Duchovny, but noticed that everyone including Joss Whedon was looking at him strangely. This is obviously not the first time. In recent days, Eric has always felt that the atmosphere around the side is a bit baffling. At this time, he finally couldn't help 'exploding': "I warn you, don't dare to use this kind of worship all day long. Look at me, be careful I'll deduct your wages, Sally, and reconsider the scene just now with David."

Several people sitting around the sand laughed lightly. The production assistant named Sally picked up the script book, glanced at David Duchovny, got confirmation, and began to read the Vanity Fair magazine in Iron Man. Reporter Christine's line: "Some people say you are a contemporary Leonardo da Vinci, what do you think?"

"It's nonsense, and I don't paint."

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

"That's not bad," replied David Duchovny. "Let me guess, Berkeley?"

"Actually, Brown University."

"Well, Brown Jr., the world isn't perfect, but we don't have a choice. I promise you, if one day I don't have to use weapons for peace, I'll switch to a children's doctor."

The two were about to continue when Eric stopped: "ok, still no, David, your tone should be quicker, and this scene shouldn't be too casual, probably, um, anyway, you Think about it, if not, let's switch to the next paragraph."

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

Eric just couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while. Hearing what David Duchovny said, he nodded without thinking, and turned to the production assistant: "Sally, just from the beginning."

Eric said, but Joss Whedon, who didn't see it, excitedly gestured to the photographer in charge of the video recording, and the other party naturally turned the camera to Eric's side.

Sally noticed Joss Whedon's little actions behind Eric, but she lowered her eyes pretending not to know, and read the script in her hand: "Mr. Stark, have you rehearsed this sentence many times? "

Eric doesn't need to read the lines at all. Whether it's the recent audition or the memory in his mind, Eric is adept at the entire script. Similarly, no one knows better than him what kind of effect he wants. , Xun sorted out the SI thread, and Eric replied naturally: "Every night before going to bed, I say it to the mirror."

Sally nodded, "I see.

"

With a somewhat cynical smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, he stared at Sally and said, "I really hope you can see it with your own eyes."

Being stared at by Eric's natural and aggressive gaze, Sally felt that her face suddenly became hot, she dodged, and her tone was a little stumbling. Although she also knew the script very well, she still read it wrong. Line: "Mr. Williams, I, I want you to be serious."

"" Eric was speechless.

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

Sarah blushed even more quickly, and she felt so embarrassed that she raised the script in her hand to block it in front of her and ran to the bathroom next to her.

Looking at Lang Huang's move to flee, everyone's heartless laughter grew louder.

After a while, Eric clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, let's continue, skip this section and replace it with the section where Tony Stark and Colonel Roddy were on the plane."

After Eric's words, everyone restrained their laughter and began to discuss.

As the evening approached, I sent David Duchovny away. Eric was about to discuss with Joss Whedon and others about David Duchovny's performance today, but he heard Joss Whedon say: "Eric, I'll get off work soon. , how about a drink together?"

Eric doubts: "Huh?"

"I mean, there are still a few good bars in Venice Beach," Joss Whedon said. "And there's one other thing I want to talk to you about, actually, that's what everyone wants."

Eric looked at Joss Whedon's watch and nodded: "Okay, that's it for today."

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

Following Joss Whedon to a bar called 'Light', Eric suddenly realized that he hadn't had such an experience for a long time.

It happened to be off-duty time, and although the curtain had not yet come, the bar had already started to get lively.

Eric wore sunglasses and followed Joss Whedon into the bar, watched him greet the boss, asked for a more hidden booth in the corner of the bar, and the two sat there together.

Asking for a beer from the waiter who followed, Joss Whedon asked, "Eric, what would you like to drink?"

Eric felt the cool waiter staring at him, he simply took off his sunglasses, raised a finger at the wide-eyed boy and made a silent watch, and then smiled: "I want a cup too. Beer bar."

"Ah, the waiter nodded in shock and walked away in a hurry, but it took a while before he came again with two glasses of beer, his face was obviously covered with makeup, and he also took off the somewhat exaggerated earrings on his ears. The beer was placed in front of Eric and Joss Whedon, but the child did not leave, and asked boldly, "Mr. Williams, can I take a picture with you? "

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

The waiter was not discouraged, he took out a business card from his short upper pocket and handed it over directly: "Mr. Williams, this is my number, give it to me."

After saying this, the waiter didn't give Eric a chance to refuse, and turned away with his slender waist.

Eric picked up the business card and looked at it, and said, "Jenny, hehe, I think it's better to be called Jennifer. I like the name Jennifer."

Joss Whedon laughed: "You call her over now and ask her to change her name. I don't think that kid will refuse."

"I don't want to do such a boring thing," Eric shook his head, put the business card on the table, looked at Joss Whedon, and said, "So, Joss, what do you want to talk to me about? "

"Eric, which one do you think agrees with your request the most among the candidates we auditioned recently?"

Eric smiled, picked up the business card on the table and played with it again, and said, "I guess this isn't what you want to talk about tonight, right?"

Joss Whedon shrugged and said, "Eric, I think you must have realized everyone's hearts during this time."

"Um?"

"All of us felt that you were the one who knew the most about the role of Tony Stark, going through all the auditions during our time. You've been directing these actors over and over for the last few weeks. , the watch should be used, the tone should be used."

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

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

Eric hesitated for a while, remembering the audition process in the recent period, he did not care about all the auditioners, and even, when recalling the performance of Robert Downey Jr. in his memory, Eric also felt that many of his details were not enough. As expected.

"Jos, you have to know that I'm already a producer now. If I star in again, you can be a director at any time."

"If you can make this movie more perfect, even if you let me quit the crew, there is no problem," Joss Whedon said without hesitation: "Eric, I am also an Iron Man comic, so I really hope this movie To be able to have a male protagonist that suits it best."

"I haven't even participated in the 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 this performance. Just look at the reaction of Sally and you to the lines in the afternoon, you will know that in the other actors In front of him, Sally has never blushed. Tony Stark, as a child, is a must to have a strong attraction to people. Besides, well, I have observed you for a month, many of your words and deeds , all very similar to the Tony Stark we wanted."

Eric unknowingly folded the business card in his hand into a paper airplane, and after listening to Joss Whedon's words, he raised his head and said, "Okay, let's choose from these ten people first."

Joss Whedon felt that Eric's tone had loosened, and he continued without hesitation: "Eric, I know you are very busy, but you should also know that the shooting of Iron Man will not take up too much of your time. , the planned shooting cycle is four months, if the schedule is tight, you only need to stay on the crew for less than two months, and most of that can be done in the Los Angeles studio, even if it is an outside scene , we just have to rush to the neighboring state of Vada."

"The key is not these, Jos," Eric said: "In the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man needs to appear in no less than six movies."

Joss Whedon said: "But it's not a problem, Eric, except for a few Iron Man series, other crossover episodes, you must have fewer scenes, maybe not even a month. Moreover, we make For a film related to Iron Man, the average period should be two years, and two months are taken out every two years. I think it is not a problem for you at all, right?"

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

Joss Whedon smiled and said, "Eric, tell the truth, don't you really think about playing this role yourself?"

Eric's eyes flashed and he said, "I thought about playing the role of Hugh Hefner, but I don't know if he has 2ooo friends now."

"Haha, that's the tone," Joss Whedon laughed. "Tony Stark's tone."

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it, tomorrow, um, the day after tomorrow. I'll give you an answer." Eric threw the small paper plane in his hand towards Joss Whedon, but the plane passed the block and flew to In the adjacent compartment, a child's soft cry was heard.

Joss Whedon knew that Eric's heart had been loosened, and he had to persevere in lobbying for a few more words. The two young children came over angrily. One child was guilty, but he recognized Eric at a glance. The angry watch was immediately put away, but for a while, he didn't know what to say, and he was dumbfounded like two little quails.

With a smile on his lips, Eric measured the two children with interest, raised his hand and pointed at Joss Whedon: "This guy is throwing things, don't look for me."

The slightly shorter black-skirted boy on the left reacted at this time and said quickly, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Williams is fine."

Having said that, the boy in the black skirt is about to pull the Tong who is next to him and leave.

Eric looked at the slightly taller boy with a little baby fat on his face, and said, "Sarah, isn't it right, I happen to remember your name, Sarah Michelle Gellar." Then, Eric looked at the other child and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ah, me," the boy in black skirt didn't expect Eric to know his friend, so he quickly said, "My name is Jennifer Love Hewitt."

"Oh, another Jennifer, my child named Jennifer, can I buy you a drink?"
