Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 162 "Iron Man" is in progress.

The first scene is Tony Stark's entrance.

The film crew booked an entire floor of a private club.

The stage lights were already in place, and the extras, dressed in formal attire, were gathered in twos and threes around the gambling table. The cameraman was adjusting the camera tracks, and the script supervisor was checking the storyboard.

Fu Yibai sat behind the monitor, watching the footage on the camera.

Robert Downey Jr. stands in front of the gambling table, chatting and laughing with several women beside him.

"Ka, Donnie, relax a little more."

"You're a rich playboy now, don't be so reserved."

"I'm sorry, Director Fu, I'll adjust it right away."

……

"Alright, Director Fu."

"Attention all departments! Begin!"

This time, Robert Downey Jr. found the feel of Stark.

On camera, Stark's carefree and dissolute nature is perfectly captured.

Time flies when filming, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps it was because of a shared mindset, but Downey became increasingly adept at portraying Tony Stark.

He no longer needed Fu Yibai to repeatedly remind him to "relax" or "be more cynical." The cunning in his eyes and the occasional flash of sharpness seemed to have become one with the character.

On set, he often improvised small actions that weren't in the script.

These subtle details make Stark's character more fleshed out and more complete.

On July 15, "Brotherhood of Blades" was released nationwide.

On July 16, news came from China that "Brotherhood of Blades" grossed 8.3 million yuan on its opening day.

Lu Yang rose to fame overnight, while Fu Yibai gained further recognition in the industry by discovering two outstanding directors.

The following day, box office revenue rebounded and reached 910 million.

After that, the box office soared, leaving no room for its competitors in the summer season.

Many films released at the same time were defeated by this Embroidered Spring Blade.

7 month 20 number.

The Iron Man crew moved from Los Angeles to an abandoned mine.

Today's filming scene is about Tony Stark building the first Iron Man suit from scrap metal while he's imprisoned in a cave.

"Director, can this move?"

Donnie looked at the steel armor that had been set up and asked curiously.

"Why don't you try it on, Buson? How heavy is this armor?"

Fu Yibai turned to ask the props team leader who was not far away.

"Director Fu, because you requested a realistic texture, this armor uses a lot of solid metal."

It weighs several hundred kilograms.

Upon hearing that it weighed several hundred kilograms, Donnie immediately withdrew his hand and made an exaggerated "keep your distance" expression, which drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding staff.

Fu Yibai smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll use a crane to control the armor during the actual filming."

All you need to do is film one shot of him entering the armor.

Soon the crew was all ready, and the flickering firelight inside the mine illuminated Donnie's oil-stained face in a dim, intermittent way.

He took a deep breath, his gaze shifting rapidly from initial confusion to an almost obsessive focus.

The camera slowly zooms in, showing him picking up simple tools and hammering and welding, each movement carrying a desperate, ruthless determination.

It was as if the entire world had been condensed into this pile of scrap metal.

"Card!"

Fu Yibai's voice echoed inside the cave.

"Very good! The emotions are spot on."

"Ten-minute break, then we'll prepare to film the scenes of us wearing armor."

Ten minutes later, the camera was turned on.

Tony Stark has already appeared inside the armor, and Ethan is helping him with the final adjustments.

In an attempt to buy time, Ethan rushed out.

"Cut, very good, your eyesight is spot on."

You can come out now.

Donnie emerged from his armor, a thin layer of sweat already covering his forehead.

He walked to the monitor and watched the performance with Fu Yibai.

"You did a good job. You can rest for a while now."

The next scene filmed was Stark emerging from the cave in his armor.

Fu Yibai couldn't help but smile as he watched the metal lump posing in the camera without any special effects.

8 month 1 number.

The Iron Man crew visited Universal Pictures' special effects studio.

Starting today, we'll be focusing on filming the scenes with the Iron Man armor.

Two weeks later, on August 15th.

"Mr. Fu, it's a domestic call."

After Fu Yibai finished filming a scene, Liu Yan walked over with her phone.

"Jon, keep an eye on things for me."

"Okay, I'll pay."

Fu Yibai took his phone and walked out.

"Feed?"

"Hello, Mr. Fu."

Pre-production for "Gravity" has concluded.

Ms. Hu Jing and Mr. George's training is also coming to an end.

When are you coming back?

"I'm almost done here too."

In about another two weeks.

"OK.

One more thing: post-production on "Your Name" is complete.

Do you have any requirements regarding the scheduling?

"Let's put it on National Day."

The Lunar New Year film season is reserved for "Lost in Thailand".

"clear."

The phone hangs up.

Fu Yibai threw himself back into filming.

On August 20th, Scarlett Johansson visited the set of "Iron Man" after finishing filming.

"Cut! This one's passed."

Fu Yibai stood up and nodded to Donnie.

"Take a half-hour break and prepare for the next match."

Downey walked out of the green screen area, and his assistant immediately handed him water and a towel.

He took it, wiped his sweat, and walked towards Fu Yibai.

"Director Fu, how was that last one?"

"Great, you're in good shape."

Donnie grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

He was about to say something when his gaze passed over Fu Yibai's shoulder and landed at the entrance of the photography studio.

"Pay, someone's visiting the set."

Fu Yibai turned around.

Scarlett stood in the doorway, wearing sunglasses, a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders.

She took off her sunglasses, waved in their direction, and smiled.

She strode over and, oblivious to everyone else, threw herself into Fu Yibai's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.

"Surprise."

Fu Yibai put his arm around her waist.

"Is filming finished?"

"Yeah, filming wrapped up yesterday."

Scarlett buried her face in the crook of his neck and rubbed against him.

I missed you, so I flew straight here.

Donnie coughed lightly beside him, a teasing smile on his face.

"Miss Scarlett, it's been a long time."

Scarlett lifted her head from his embrace, looked at Donnie, and smiled brightly.

"Long time no see, Donnie."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Donnie tactfully made an excuse to leave, giving the two of them some space.

Scarlett pulled Fu Yibai to sit on the folding chair next to her, then sat in his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"How much longer until filming is finished?"

"It will be soon, in about another week."

"One week..."

Scarlett pouted.

"So, are you going back after you're done filming?"

Fu Yibai raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"You can't bear to part with me?"

Scarlett buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled.

"Yeah, I just finished filming, and you're already going back."

Fu Yibai didn't say anything, but simply put his arm around her waist and gently stroked her back with his hand.

Just then, Anne walked over.

"Hey, you've wrapped up filming?"

"Hmph, you're lucky to have been able to stay by Fu's side for so long."

"There's nothing I can do; Fu likes me the most."

"What? Fu likes you the most?"

Seeing that the two women were about to start fighting again, Fu quickly interrupted them.

"Stop fooling around, let's talk about it when we get home."

"Ready to film."
