Rebirth In Hollywood

Walking into the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Robert Downey Jr. took off his sunglasses carelessly, ignoring the surprised gazes around him, and without waiting for the battery car to arrive, he walked carelessly towards the audition site.

The agent at the back saw this and chased after him with a few steps, "Robert, can you be serious? This is your best chance to return to the mainstream film industry."

"Where do you see that I'm not serious?" Robert Downey Jr. turned to look at his agent, still looking like that, "Ryan Jenkins' movies, mainstream can't be mainstream anymore..."

After he finished speaking, he sighed. When he was very popular, Ryan Jenkins was just a little kid. Now what? The status of the two is almost as far as Burbank to Sacramento.

Although he was trying to quit his drug addiction, Hollywood producers still didn't want to see him, and he was even fired from a cameo TV crew in the middle.

Well, he admits that was the consequence of a relapse.

Since then, he has worked hard to get rid of drugs, but it is difficult to get rid of the situation where his acting career has plummeted.

In the past three years, he has only made one movie called "Ghost Man", which is still a low-budget genre movie. By now, he has almost forgotten what it is like to act in a movie.

Similarly, Hollywood is probably about to forget itself, right?

After not appearing in mainstream movies for so long, how many people still remember the talented Robert Downey Jr.?

"Robert, this is a rare opportunity."

As we walked along the way, the agent kept exhorting him, "This character has many antagonistic scenes with Ryan, and this movie caused a sensation as soon as the preparations started. It is a legendary agent in itself, created by the same legendary person. To make it, it will definitely arouse the frenetic attention of the media and the public. The most important thing is that Ryan's film is basically synonymous with success. People who have seen the full version of the script say that as long as the film is completed, it will definitely become a big Oscar. Popular."

Although his character and living habits are enough of a jerk, he has experienced so many setbacks over the years, and Robert Downey Jr. is not the Robert Downey Jr. when he was young. He knows that if he can't get rid of his current bad state, his career as an actor will be greatly reduced. It will fall all the way, and life will fall into a deep valley.

As the agent said, this is indeed a good opportunity. Ryan? Jenkins is almost synonymous with success, how many people have his films become popular?

Robert Downey Jr. came from a family of performers, and he has never seen him before.

Who else in Hollywood can match Ryan Jenkins in movies.

Box office, money, awards, these opponents are never lacking, and the film produced is always successful, but it is so in line with mainstream tastes.

Even he felt incredible about this, and even admired it a little.

The agent continued to gossip, and Robert Downey Jr. was still the same. All the way to the studio where the "Argo" crew auditioned.

"rest assured!"

Robert Downey Jr. patted the agent of the kk agency hard on the shoulder, "Sam, I know it's not easy for you to win this audition opportunity for me, and I will cherish it."

Even for the father who came forward to call in person. He will try again.

After a few years in a daze, Robert Downey Jr. understood one thing. He was nothing in Hollywood at all, and no one in this circle was indispensable.

Well... Ryan Jenkins might not be in this category. Think so. He walked into the studio.

"Whose phone number?"

In the car heading to Burbank Airport, Nicole looked at Ryan who hung up the phone, "Is someone else coming out to ask you for a role?"

"Hmm~"

Put away the phone. Ryan nodded and said briefly, "Sr. Robert Downey, calling for his son, Robert Downey Jr. will audition for the "Argo" crew today."

"Has he quit drug addiction?" Nicole asked curiously.

"Who knows." Ryan himself doesn't care much about this. There are countless people smoking cocaine in Hollywood. "As long as he can control it, it doesn't affect the normal operation of the crew."

"So, you are very interested in him?" Nicole recalled, "I remember that not long after he came out of prison, you asked Pat to sign him."

"Don't you think his debauchery is very similar to Tony Stark?" Ryan didn't mean to hide.

"Oh..." Nicole rolled her eyes, "Drug-addicted Iron Man..."

She shook her head.

Hearing drug use, Ryan suddenly thought of the person in front of him who also had a bad record, "Nicole,?"

"No, I'm not an addict."

She shrugged and whispered in Ryan's ear, "If we have time, we can try it together, oh... remember the last time we were together? It was the most wonderful experience, you get excited..."

"Do you need to try it now?" Ryan saw the danger in his blue eyes. Nicole quickly stepped back and pointed out the car window, "Okay, the airport is here."

"Don't forget the gift Alison gave Emma."

After reminding Nicole, Ryan hugged her gently, kissed her soft red lips, and let her out of the car, until watching Nicole and the assistant bodyguard disappear into the airport lobby, which made the driver restart. Black Rolls Royce.

Nicole flew to the UK to prepare for Paddington, and he went straight to Warner Studios.

However, Ryan came a little late and didn't see the son of Robert Downey Sr. After the audition, the other party left directly.

"how do you feel?"

Sitting in the office set up by the crew, Ryan asked George Clooney across from him, "Can you meet the requirements?"

No matter what kind of relationship, if the other party's audition is not even up to the standard, there is nothing to talk about in Hollywood.

"It's not a big problem in terms of acting."

George Clooney is obviously not worried about these, "If he has a problem in the middle..."

Shaking his head, he also received a call from old Robert Downey, but thought that the risk was a bit high. After all, this was a work he valued very much. Even if it played well, it would not be a problem to go to the Oscars.

"That's it."

Just when he was thinking, the assistant brought the coffee, Ryan said thank you, and then made a decision, "George, if he can still meet the requirements in the audition later, we are like the "Ghost Man" crew, Sign a special contract with him."

The investment in "Argo" comes entirely from Disney. There is neither a private film fund nor an advance payment from overseas filmmakers. There is no need to introduce a completion insurance company, and there is no trouble with third-party guarantees. He doesn't care about using it at all. is not the problem actor.

As for how to limit Robert Downey Jr., the measures taken by the crew in the previous life were very effective.

First withhold 40% of the other party's salary to prevent him from taking drugs again, and not pay him back until the filming is completed. Similar measures will definitely become a necessary item in the contract.

As for "Iron Man", Surprise has only just approved the project, and the script, director, funds, etc. have not yet been settled, so there is no need to worry.

And "Argo" is only in preparation, and there is still quite a long time before the start. In addition to the actors, there is also an assistant director who is leading people to select the location. Although the story takes place in Iran for a considerable part of the time, but let the crew go to Tehran Framing, unless Ryan is crazy.

Although terrorists have never appeared, he will not foolishly run to the Middle East.

Regarding the script, Ryan and several other screenwriters have worked together to complete most of the main plots. He is still in the final review, which mainly refers to the CIA.

In any case, the other party has provided a lot of convenience in this project, and in Ryan's script, they are basically positive images.

Regardless of the previous Iranian hostage incident and the role of the federal government in it, the perspective of "Argo" always focuses on this incredible rescue plan, and almost all other aspects are ignored.

Not long after chatting with George Clooney, Ryan's cell phone rang again, he waved to the opposite side, and walked out of the office.

"Hi, Nat."

As he walked out of the studio, Ryan put the phone to his ear, and Natalie's question came from inside, "Are you at Warner Studios?"

"Yeah." Ryan came here a lot lately, "Studio 78."

"I'm here too, are you busy now?"

After Ryan's negative answer, the Long Island girl said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go look for you."

Standing at the door of the studio, Ryan waited for about five minutes, and saw the direction leading to the gate of the studio. A six-seater battery car drove by. In addition to the driver, there were two Jewish girls sitting on it, one of them was Natalie.

The battery car just stopped, Natalie jumped off, and then another girl with amazing long legs also jumped off the battery car, this one is no stranger.

"This is Gal Gadot." After the battery car left, Natalie briefly introduced, "I heard she said you've met?"

"Hello, Miss Gado... well, Gal."

Shaking the other's outstretched hand, Ryan said to Natalie again, "I saw him at Arnold's banquet two months ago."

"It was introduced by Mr. Schwarzenegger."

The Jewish girl is young, but smart. "I've been wanting to treat after the party, but you're too busy, Nat, and Ryan."

Probably from Israel, Natalie is close to this friend she met in Jerusalem, but the entrance of the studio is not a good place to chat.

"Why don't we go in and sit down?" Ryan asked Natalie, who shook her head. "We're going to the Warner Bros. crew."

"Oh?"

I counted the time silently in my heart, it should be early, right? Ryan's eyes couldn't help falling on Natalie's long hair. Does she still want to be a bald girl? (To be continued..) ()
