Chapter 319. [Unfortunate superstar](1/2)

Just when Yi Feiyang was thinking about what Hollywood blockbuster to shoot, the auction for the right to dine together that he posted online was about to end.

At the same time, a typical Hollywood shootout action scene was being filmed in a certain Hollywood studio.

As the male protagonist is Michael Glass, who is known for his "hard-core acting skills". He plays a rich man who is kidnapped. After escaping, he discovers that he was imprisoned in a high-rise building.

At that time, there were pursuers above and enemies below. In order to survive, he had no choice but to open the window and jump with all his strength from the seven-story building.

"Camera ready!" the bearded director ordered, "Guys, this scene is very dangerous, so we have to do it all at once!" He turned back to the assistant and said, "Hey, have you found a stuntman?"

The black assistant said helplessly: "I'm sorry, director, the distance from the window to the ground is a full 14 to 5 meters. It's too high. Many people are not willing to do it!"

"What? The scene has already been filmed and now you say no one is willing to do it? Damn it!" The director has been filming day and night for the past few days. His beard is unshaven and his eyes are red, so he is getting more angry.

"I'm sorry, director! I've tried my best! Yes, I've really tried my best! Even though the price has been increased to three thousand US dollars, no one has done it yet."

The director pointed his finger at the black assistant and said, "Hey, man, I don't care so much, and I don't care what method you use. Anyway, I'll give you ten more minutes, and we'll start shooting right away. I'll definitely see someone jump from the window by then! Yes!"

Yes, otherwise, jump off yourself!"

The director's words were domineering and could not be rejected. The black assistant nodded helplessly. "Yes, director. I will try my best." I felt miserable inside, where could I find it? Could it be that I really wanted to jump? Alas.

, it’s not easy to be a director’s assistant!

"It's best this way. Don't let me kick you down when the time comes!" the bearded director said again before turning around and leaving.

Behind him, the miserable assistant scratched his head hard. He turned around suddenly and said to his subordinates on the crew: "The director has spoken, someone must do this scene! So, guys, show your courage,

Who is willing to come forward?"

"No one wants it, man, it's too dangerous!" said a black man.

"Yes, we can jump up to 10 meters high. This is the first time we have jumped so high."

"It's too dangerous. Who wants to do it?"

"Unless those niggas, or Asians who are short of money..."

"What did you say? Who did you call nigger?" The black man before was unhappy.

"I didn't mean you. Man, I meant generally..."

"Referring generally to you piece of shit! Believe it or not, I will shove your head into your ass!"

"Don't be so rough, mate!"

"I'm just being rude, okay?" The black man and the guy started pushing and shoving.

The assistant didn't expect that he hadn't gotten angry yet. There was already chaos here, and he shouted loudly: "Four thousand yuan! As long as you are willing to jump, I will take away the four thousand yuan!"

"Wow, four thousand?" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, but immediately dimmed again.

"Haha, man, four thousand is quite attractive, but it won't make us risk our lives." The person who spoke was called "Cripple Tom". He was an old actor. He used to perform motorcycle speeding in the circus and lost his legs.

After breaking it, he entered the film industry as a stunt double and performed some difficult actions. For such a difficult "jumping off a building", if possible, he would be the one to accept the task in the end.

"Then what do you want?" The assistant was annoyed. He knew that this cripple Tom liked to raise prices, but he couldn't find anyone now.

"What do you think? God, it's very hard to work in our industry...but four thousand yuan is a little less. If you can add a little more, then I think someone will stand up. Yes, there will definitely be someone,

Then you will be less troubled, won't you?" Cripple Tom thought perfectly. He would wait until the assistant offered five thousand or even six thousand before taking the job.

"Impossible, the price of four thousand for such a lens is already very high, the worst is to use computer special effects!" the assistant said loudly.

"Use computer special effects? Ha, if it is really possible, the director will not be so strict with you! In short, the money is too little, no one is willing to do this job, don't you think so, guys?!" Crippled Tom yelled

road.

"Yeah, the money is too little and no one is willing to do it!"

"Damn it, I have to pay more!"

“Just add some more!”



"Shit!" the black assistant ignored Cripple Tom's shouting and shouted, "I don't believe it, there isn't a warrior here?!"

It was very quiet, no one spoke.

Cripple Tom folded his arms proudly, waiting to see the joke.

But at this moment, an arm was raised, and a listless voice asked: "Four thousand dollars, right? I'll do it!"

Who is so bold and dares to ruin my good deeds? Cripple Tom glanced over and saw a man sitting in a corner, unshaven and listless, holding a wine bottle in his hand, smelling of alcohol. Ha, this is not that.

What the hell is Robert Downey Jr., a has-been star?!

There is no doubt that the sloppy drunkard in front of him is Robert Downey Jr., the famous bad boy in Hollywood and the prodigal son of the entertainment industry.

As a child born into an acting family, Robert Downey Jr. has been surrounded by halo since he was born. His father is a director and an actor, his mother is a singer and a producer, and he also has an older sister who is also an insider. As for him, he has been growing up since he was a child.

I just acted in my father's movie, but he said he had "high qualifications".

But unfortunately, being born in such a family is not necessarily a good thing. For example, almost all their family members are "addicts." In such an environment, Downey Jr. inevitably got involved with drugs, and this also ruined his life.

Since 1996, he and his wife have officially separated due to his personal drug problem being brought to light because he started taking strong drugs. He was driving at speed while under the influence of drugs because of possession of drugs.

He broke into houses and illegally carried firearms. He was arrested many times and appeared in court for trial. He was forced to reprimand and sentenced to probation by the court. However, due to multiple violations of probation and bail regulations (that is, multiple evasion of drug and urine tests), he was eventually imprisoned twice and served a total of 16 years.

Month: Not long after he was released from prison, he finally found a role in a TV show. However, he was arrested and ordered to detoxify because of his old behavior. As for the role, of course he lost it.

Today, Downey is just a pile of mud that cannot be lifted up. He is divorced from his wife, has a 9-year-old son Yin Dio, and needs to pay alimony, so he has to look for a job everywhere. But because of his notorious "brilliant"

"History". Many movie companies rejected him, and even TV shows refused to let him play roles.

Originally, he could have asked a wealthy family for help, but with his arrogant personality, he was never willing to bow his head. For this reason, he would rather be introduced to the crew as a handyman by his friends.

Downey was already disheartened about his life. For him, a guy like himself who had experienced glory and now had nothing left had nothing to fear.

Seeing that "drunk" Donnie stood up, the assistant still hesitated. After all, he was not sure whether this drunk guy could do it.

"Of course what I said counts! But Downey, I know you are brave, but this action scene is very difficult. Do you want to think about it again?" The assistant looked at the drunk Downey, thinking that he might be drunk.

Talking nonsense.

"What are you considering? God, while I still have the courage, come on, guys, let me jump off the damn seventh floor!" Downey staggered to the window and looked down, "Oh.

Damn it! It’s really tall!”

"Haha, why are you afraid? If you are afraid, go away. Yes, you are just a drunkard and a pile of mud! You have no right to speak here!" Cripple Tom doesn't want to be messed up by this trashy has-been star.

plan.

"Haha, buddy, if you don't do it, I will, what's wrong with that? Otherwise, for four thousand dollars, you can dance... Let's all applaud and encourage you!" Downey shrugged, looking joking.

"Damn it, what did you say!" Cripple Tom was choked by Donnie's words.

"Okay, there's no time, Donnie, since you're so brave, then you go ahead! But be careful!" The assistant can't do that much anymore, he's a dead horse, and the director is urging him.

If he couldn't find anyone here, he might just jump off the seventh floor.



The crew members stood at the window, took out instruments, tested the wind direction and speed, and then said to the director below: "OK, the wind speed and direction are normal, and we can start filming!"

The life-saving air mattress below has been prepared, and the camera is in place. It’s time to jump.

"Everything is ready for me. God, do you want to make sure you know it all over again? Well, the ambulance crew is ready. As soon as the person jumps, you will rescue him immediately. You must do your best to ensure the personal safety of the stuntman!" the director shouted with a loudspeaker.

road.

"Where is Peter?" the director turned around and asked.

"Come on, I'm here!" the black assistant responded hurriedly.

"Are the stuntmen ready?"

"alright!"

"The filming is going to start soon. Let him put on makeup and costume. Don't show any flaws, otherwise the filming will be in vain!"

"I understand, I have already told him to be ready to put on makeup!"

The director nodded, then turned to the photographer and said: "Remember, when the shooting starts, you first take a close-up of Douglas's face, and then start shooting the side of the stand-in. At the moment of the jump, zoom out and zoom out to capture the entire scene.

I took down all the shots of jumping off the building, and at the moment of landing, I changed the actors again, and I have to do another close-up of Douglas, do you understand?"

Soon, everything is ready.

At the window on the seventh floor, Downey changed his costume, carrying a bottle of wine, and looked at the busy people below, "Damn it! It's a bit too high!"

"Hey, Downey, how about you, can you be my stand-in?" Douglas, the big star, came over at some unknown time and patted Downey on the shoulder and asked.

Downey and Douglas knew each other, or Douglas had a close relationship with Downey's family. But Downey was not willing to see him in a place like this because he was too embarrassed and felt too inferior.

"Hey, man, you got the wrong person. I'm not Downey!" Downey turned away.

Douglas shrugged, "I understand, Donnie, yes, I understand how you feel, but when you fall, you have to get up. You can't give up on yourself like this!"

"I told you, man, you got the wrong person!"

"Okay. Even so! But I still have to say one thing. Your father said it. You haven't attended a family gathering for two years. No matter how you are now, you will always be a member of the Downey family and his.

Son!" After Douglas said this, he stopped talking.
