Chapter 457 "Iron Man 2"

Nolan obviously pays more attention to real scenes, so "Inception" built a lot of sets in the studio.

For example, the Nippon Castle at the beginning of the movie does not really exist somewhere in Nippon, but is a set built in a studio of Warner Bros.

And as the corresponding scenes were filmed, the sets were destroyed along with the plot.

We built a large water tank and filled it with tons of water to truly achieve the effect of flooding the castle.

Through this, Jiang Xiao has indeed seen the gap between domestic film work and the Hollywood film industry.

This is not even due to the lack of money or cost. Of course, this factor also exists, but it is not the most important factor.

Because there are some things that have not been touched or experienced in China, no matter how large the investment is, the desired shooting intention cannot be realized, or you simply don’t know how to achieve it, it seems that there is no use having money.

For example, how to shoot the weightless scene in "Inception", what is the idea, how to achieve the most realistic effect, I am afraid that people in China who can understand it are very lacking in this knowledge.

Jiang Xiao remembers a scene in which all the actors in the hotel room were floating weightlessly in a dream.

How is that achieved?

It's wires, with a specially designed pulley coupling device, and the actors are hoisted through many wires.

Then a high-speed camera was used to achieve the effect of slowing down the picture, and then the dense wires were processed in post-production, so that the audience could see how the movie would look like on the big screen.

Of course, Jiang Xiao feels that there is no need to be too depressed and pessimistic. The gap is obvious, but this is also because the domestic film industry developed relatively late.

Unlike Hollywood, which has been developing continuously since the emergence of movies, there has never been a break, and it has reached today's level.

It will always catch up slowly, and the overall prosperity of the industry will definitely promote the gradual realization of all this.

Since private capital has been allowed to enter this industry, it is no longer an all-encompassing filming task. These are all destined.

Otherwise, how can the mainland film market go from a total box office of less than one billion in 2003 and 2004 to tens of billions in the future?

In short, when Jiang Xiao stayed in Los Angeles, even though his rest time far exceeded the busy schedule of work and filming, he did not feel bored and secretly learned a lot of behind-the-scenes things.

After taking some time, he also met with Lin Shi.

This guy started studying here at public expense in the first half of the year. He originally planned to stay only for three months, but it turned out well and he is still here now.

But Jiang Xiao doesn't feel bad about the money. At least he has the heart to make a good movie, rather than just making money.

Otherwise, it’s not like I didn’t offer him a high price to film the movie.

In fact, Lin Shi, who is quiet and quiet, is quite good. When he came, his English level could only be said to be average, and he could barely communicate on a daily basis. Now he is on the verge of flying, and he speaks professional terms, although his accent is still quite strong, I guess.

It's hard to erase.

In addition, what is even more awesome about the other party is that he even worked on the crew of Hollywood. He participated in the filming of an American TV series and recently worked on the crew of "Iron Man 2".

Yes, Jiang Xiao only found out about this recently, and was very surprised that Lin Shi was more adaptable and able to mix up than he thought.

Of course, it's just an auxiliary position.

Despite this, for a moment, he was worried that this guy might not want to go back, right?

After all, the Hollywood film industry is of high standard and is indeed an ideal place for directors to develop.

Apart from this, the crew of "Iron Man 2" happened to be filming in a nearby studio. Taking advantage of his free time and nothing else to do, Jiang Xiao contacted Lin Shi and planned to take a casual visit.

Not to mention, when he brought Dilraba and Lan Yafan over, he actually saw "Happy" and Lin Shi at the door.

Needless to say, Lin Shi is happy...

Well……

In Jiang Xiao's hometown, these two words are actually used to curse people, but of course he is not swearing. The so-called "happy" is the director of "Iron Man 2", Jon Favreau.

The other party played the role of Iron Man's driver in the movie. His character's name is Happy, and he is obviously better known as the director.

All in all, when he was a little confused about whether Jon Favreau was waiting for him at the door, the other party had already greeted him with a smile and said: "Hey, Mr. Jiang, the world's top flyer, welcome to "Iron Man"

2》Crew visit, I am the director of this film, Jon Favreau, nice to meet you.”

"Hey, Director Favreau, nice to meet you too, thank you for letting me come over for a visit."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao no longer had to wonder. Jon Favreau was really waiting for him.

At the same time, he naturally did not forget to give Lin Shi a nod as a greeting. Presumably, it was because the other party directly told the former of his status as a "world flying man" that he received such treatment.

"You're welcome. I heard from Lin that in addition to being an athlete, you are also a filmmaker and actor, and you even have your own film company. So we can be considered peers, and maybe we can collaborate one day."

Jiang Xiao is also a well-known figure, so Jon Favreau naturally wouldn't mind getting to know him.

"Yes, I have been an actor since I debuted. It was just an accident that I became an athlete."

Jiang Xiao smiled and responded politely.

"But your accident shocked the whole world. OK, Mr. Jiang, please come with me. I will take you to visit the set and introduce some friends to you."

"No problem, I can't wait!"

The confident Jiang Xiao soon followed Jon Favreau into the studio.

And under the leadership of the other party, we started to visit the set.

Until he saw a few familiar faces, Little Carrot Head, Widow Sister, Pepper and the one whose name he didn’t know but looked like the villain in "Iron Man 2".

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jiang, the world champion who set the sprint record. At the same time, Mr. Jiang is also a very outstanding actor in China."

"Mr. Jiang, this is our 'Iron Man' Robert Downey Jr., this is Scarlett Johansson, this is Gwyneth Parrott, and this is Mickey Rourke."

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you."

Soon, after Jon Favreau introduced both parties, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to say hello to several people while looking at them.

The little carrot head is wearing a motion capture suit, gray, with capture points all over the body. There is also an Iron Man head not far away. Presumably, the other party will bring it with him for filming.

The other parts of Iron Man are all special effects, of course. If you really wear props and armor, it would be difficult for you to walk, so why would you film any scenes?

The widowed sister is wearing the classic "Black Widow" look, which shows off her figure, she is so big and fierce, and she is so beautiful with her red hair.

Pepper Potts and Mickey Rourke are relatively normal, I mean, not so fancy-dressed.

In the former case, he cannot capture the other's beauty, and his appearance is rather old-fashioned, which is in line with the characteristics of European and American women who age quickly.

In addition, Pepper Potts is also the most famous Oscar-winning actress, and she was created entirely through Harvey Weinstein's public relations.

I'm just afraid...

After all, the latter suffered retribution for something in the future. He was sentenced to decades, and before he even started serving his sentence, he was already in prison because of the new coronavirus.
