Chapter 570 Downey and the Joker

"It's finally over."

When Duke shouted through, the three actors in the field came over. Scarlett Johnson deliberately yawned and said, "In the past six months, it's like being in purgatory in life. This is the hardest movie I've ever filmed."

"I really envy you. You can return to a happy life."

Robert Downey Jr. responded and said, "But I still have to roll in purgatory."

"Is my crew so scary?" Duke looked up from behind the monitor, "Do you need me to add a special scene for you?"

“No need at all.”

The flight scene that relies on motion capture has already made Robert Downey Jr. regret it. He quickly said, "Duke, I think I have enough scenes, you should consider Scarlett."

Samuel Jackson looked at the time and said to Duke, "I have a date with Quentin Tastino tonight. Duke, I'll leave first."

"I prepared a party at home tonight..."

After hearing Duke's words, Samuel Jackson hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head with only one eye, "Sorry, Duke, I made an appointment with Quentin a few days ago."

The first actor of "Iron Man" finalized by Duke was Scarlett Johnson, while the first actor finalized by Marvel Comics for the entire series was Samuel Jackson.

In the ultimate version of Marvel's comics, Nick Fury is shown as an American black man. From appearance, personality to behavior, they are all made with Samuel Jackson as a reference, and they also obtained his own consent. In contrast, Samuel Jackson, who received full compensation, also played the role of the director of S.H.E.L.D. in the series.

After leaving Warner Studio, many of the crew rushed to Duke's Manor to attend the party held by Duke, but because the filming continued the next day, the party was limited to the level of drinking and did not evolve into a typical Hollywood-style carnival party.

"Duke, I heard that in your next Batman, the Joker will be the main villain?"

Holding a large glass of beer, Robert Downey Jr. found Duke, "What do you think of me?"

He didn't seem to be joking, and he obviously wanted to continue working with Duke.

"You want to play the Joker?" Duke could certainly hear what Robert Downey Jr. meant, "This character is very difficult and does not match your usual acting career."

Every actor has a role that suits him or her, and there are also roles that are not suitable for him or her at all. It does not exist in this world.

“I think I can.”

Perhaps because of his performance in recent shooting, Robert Downey Jr.'s confidence is also recovering rapidly. "Someone once said that he is the best clown in the world, and no one can surpass his 1989 version of the clown."

Duke frowned slightly. The person Robert Downey Jr. was obviously Jack Nicholson.

Robert Downey Jr. took a big sip of beer, and before Duke asked anything, he spoke, "Jack Neesenerson once laughed at me and my father. He said we are a fool, and the Downey family is a degenerate family. They specialize in perverts and voyeurism. I want to show him good looks, but you know, I don't have the ability now."

After hearing what he said, Duke had secretly rejected this possibility and replied in a tactful manner. "I will consider it."

Even if there is no personal grudge, Duke does not think that Robert Downey Jr. Jr. is suitable for the role of clown. There is no indispensable actor in this world, and Heath Ledger is no exception, but not any actor is suitable for a certain role. Robert Downey Jr.'s personal characteristics are obviously contrary to the role of clown.

Last year, Duke met Heath Ledger. According to time calculations, he is probably already on the crew of Ang Lee. As long as the conditions are right, he is still the Joker's first choice.

As for whether he will die because of this, it is not within Duke's consideration. Moreover, Heath Ledger's drug addiction has been a year or two. Even without this film and this character, with his crazy drug use and his own personality, the possibility of losing it in the end is still infinite.

Moreover, how many Hollywood stars who died suddenly deserve sympathy?

Revan Phoenix died of drug overdose, Whitney Houston drowned in a bathtub after taking drugs, David Carladin was abused to death with Thai shemale, Heath Ledger died of drug addiction...

This is indeed a circle that cannot be measured by common sense, but there are many stars who are under greater pressure but are healthy and healthy. After all, they choose their own path.

Take a step back and what consequences will you get when you save a person rashly? This is a society that pays great attention to the safety and personal freedom. It is often thankless to touch on other people's safety and secrets.

Duke will always act as a bystander in this kind of thing, just like Nicholas Cage is facing a financial crisis, and at most he can only remind him indirectly.

Because the next day, the party ended before ten o'clock. Others, including Robert Downey Jr., said goodbye one after another, and only Scarlett Johnson dragged behind.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Duke entered the living room of the villa, and Scarlett Johnson followed from behind.

"Can I stay here tonight?" she asked suddenly.

Due to my mother's relationship, this villa has always had a room with Scarlett Johnson.

Duke also drank some wine tonight. After hearing this, he couldn't help but turn to look at her, and his eyebrows were raised slightly, "Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Although the gaze that came over, as if a hunter was looking at the prey, Scarlett unconsciously remembered Duke's appearance after a child, she still straightened her body, "Of course I have to stay here, this is my home."

"Your home?" Duke stared at her.

Scarlett looked at him with the same gaze, "Duke, you know what I experienced in my childhood. It was you and your godmother who gave me the warmth of my family..."

Speaking of this, she looked a little resentful, "Although you gradually alienated me because of my insignificant little problem of chatter and long-winding, I have been paying attention to you. Your growth, success and every achievement you have achieved are accompanying me..."

"I..." She suddenly sighed, "When a girl enters puberty and should start falling in love, I sadly discovered that I have no interest in people of the same age. I am used to being rational, mature and strong. In my eyes, my peers are simply synonymous with childishness and stupidity. Then, I know that I like mature men. Do you understand why this is?"

The former Scarlett Johnson had a very strong uncle complex in the early days. The Scarlett Johnson in front of him grew up with his mother since childhood, and his personality and character have changed a lot from the past. Duke did not expect that this unchanged uncle complex was actually his own reason.

The little girl who used to make noise in front of him has grown up completely.

The relationship between the two was indeed a relatively cold period because of Scarlett's chatter and troublesome spirit, but in the end it was still here.

Just like Ivanka Trump, Duke never lacks the courage to make decisions when it comes to making decisions.

The next moment, Duke pulled Scarlett Johnson's hand and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor. In a place he could not see, the corner of Scarlett's mouth suddenly curled up with an extremely high curve.

"This manor is about to welcome a second hostess."

The butler standing in the corner of the living room thought so that she had served Duke for many years and knew very well that Scarlett also had her own advantages. Compared with Ivanka Trump's extremely troublesome father Donald Trump, Scarlett Johnson's family basically has no problems.

Scarlett Johnson and Ivanka Trump have completely different personalities. Although over the years, the chattering and trouble-making personality have gradually changed a lot, they are not the kind of restrained and relatively quiet person.

However, Scarlett would not have commercial conflicts with Duke and the Rosenberg family.

To this day, Donald Trump invests in an instant sharing website, which is still a huge rock between Duke and Ivanka Trump. Although the two broke up peacefully, they have never seen each other again. Duke has never let go of Donald Trump's investment.

Ivanka Trump wants to introduce the funds of the Trump family to this company that is favored by Wall Street and countless IT bosses. Duke, who can veto it, is the mountain that cannot be crossed.

Of course, Duke's career is not something that cannot be given up in terms of film, but he does not want to be profitable by Donald Trump, who has been exposed to his countless times.

Everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. Although Donald Trump's previous behaviors did not attract Duke's counterattack, they also touched this bottom line.

Moreover, there are many companies that are interested in Duke's shares, and he can use it to exchange for something he wants.

For example, the two founders of Google have always wanted to acquire instant sharing and have also been in contact with Duke several times, but they are a little hesitant about the way Duke offers to exchange shares. After all, even if the shares have been expanded several times in recent years, Duke still holds nearly 20% of Google shares. If the shares in his hands continue to increase, it will inevitably affect the two people's control over the company.

For such a stock exchange acquisition, it is impossible to not pay for A-shares that have voting rights.

Therefore, Google has always been in contact with Duke and shares instantly, and is not Duke's non-sale product. What both parties need to do is to find a point that each other can accept in the differences.

In addition, there is Apple and Steve Jobs, who are also very interested in this website, but his main energy is to develop new mobile phone products. When Duke attended Apple's new shareholders' meeting, he also saw the concept version of the new product. (To be continued...)
