In the past two months, the information about "Iron Man" has been very popular, dazzling, and with the continuous rise of the box office curve of "Rampant Road", this work has become more and more popular. Tony Stark has become the ultimate goal of all actors almost overnight.

Whether it is "Spider-Man" or "X-Men", although the results have been outstanding in recent years, the former has allowed Toby Maguire to successfully enter the front line. Although it has not reached the 20 million club, it has also successfully received a 10 million salary; the latter has made Hugh Jackman become popular with Wolverine, and his popularity has risen sharply, and finally gained a foothold in Hollywood. However, when selecting actors in these two works, they have more targeted unfamous actors, and even used many new actors in the "X-Men".

On the one hand, from the perspective of the producer, they are willing to use second-tier and third-tier actors because they save money; on the other hand, from the perspective of the actors, starring in comic-adapted movies is also a very cost-effective act - after all, comics are non-mainstream two-dimensional otaku culture, and no "Hollywood tough guy" wants to be involved in such a role. Comics superheroes are considered "male vases", and only "homosexuals" are willing to act.

But now, "Iron Man"'s Tony Stark has become the hottest character in Hollywood, and everyone hopes to play this role - this is obviously not because of how attractive this series of comics is. Even Superman and Batman are not so charming. In the final analysis, they are still for Lance.

In a blink of an eye, the number of audition actors had risen to twenty-four, including Leonardo DiCaprio who came to make trouble, Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal. The overwhelming audition candidates, Jon felt that his temples had begun to hurt. He could not even remember whether it was twenty-four or twenty-six, let alone remember the faces and performances of each actor - if he had known this was the case, he should have taken notes.

Looking up, Jon saw Lance sitting next to him, holding a glass of single whiskey, slowly enjoying the amber artwork, with a relaxed expression, contented, and unable to find any trace of fatigue, which made Jon pull the corner of his mouth helplessly and let out a breath, "Lance, so?"

"So?" Lance gently shook the cup in his hand. The transparent wine flashed with different halos due to the change of the refractive angle of the light, which was fascinating.

"Ha." Jon laughed in silence, "What do you think of Sam Worthington?"

Lance raised his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?" Jon is the director, and his opinions are the most important.

"..." Jon shrugged, his words choked, "I think his temperament is too tough and too rough, not as mixed as Tony Stark." Lance nodded slightly, as if he was encouraged, which opened Jon's thinking a little bit. "Will Smith's words, he is very good, he is great, he obviously has no obstacles to playing a superhero, and his comedy style is very consistent with the movie. To be honest, I can't think of his shortcomings. But..." Jon hesitated a little and got Lance's affirmation.

After seeing, he hesitated, "But he is black. I'm not sure. The first movie boldly launched black people to play superheroes. Is it too big to take the pace..." As soon as he finished speaking, Jon was a little flustered in Lance's joking gaze, and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm not racist, I mean... I mean, there is another government hero in the script who wears Iron Man armor. We can arrange black people, but Tony Stark... Will obviously is not willing to accept the supporting role."

Lance chuckled, looked at Jon's guilty expression, nodded and affirmed. The two comic companies, Marvel and DC, did not appear black superhero until 2015. The black version of "Fantastic Four 2015" has opened up a new field. Then Black Panther will become another black superhero to be on the big screen. Moreover, important characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, and Iron Man also have hopes that black people will be succeeded by black people. But in 2006, it is better not to take this step too much. After all, "Iron Man" is not a "razy road". "What about Sam-rockwell?"

"In fact, I think he is very suitable." Jon nodded. "Although his height is unsatisfactory,... his temperament is indeed very close to the character." Sam's height is about the same as Robert Downey Jr., and he is even one centimeter shorter. However, Sam's acting skills are even better. Three years ago, he won the Venetian movie hero with his "confession of dangerous ideas". His temperament that is both good and evil allows him to be at ease among many different characters. "So what do you think James Franco? Although he has played the little green demon of "Spider-Man", I don't think there is any problem with this. He will give the youth version of Iron Man some unruly temperament."

"Then it depends on your settings." Lance still did not directly participate in the cast selection. The script of "Iron Man" has no age setting, but overall, Tony Stark has become an arms dealer and established a company, so this is not like "Spider-Man" is a campus youth work. If Tony is too young, it is not convincing.

Despite this, there are still many actors under the age of thirty, such as James Franko, Ryan Reynolds, and John Karasinski. After all, they represent potential stocks. Unlike Robert Downey Jr. and Sam Rockwell, a large number of works have left a fixed impression before, and reshaping the image is more or less hindered.

"Huh, actually, the perfect candidate for Little Pepper in my heart is Rachel-Mcadams." Jon's eyes flashed with excitement and looked at Lance, "I don't know, can you use your name to let Rachel join our crew?"

"Sweet Canadian sister." Lance thought about it seriously. Rachel McAdams and Gwyneth Paltrow had to admit that Jon had a unique vision. Rachel played Little Pepper, which had a unique flavor. So Lance nodded, "This is a good choice. If you are sure, I will ask Cole to call Rachel's agent tomorrow." As long as the success of "Iron Man" can be guaranteed, Lance is very happy to participate in every link. "So, do you want to choose a partner between James Franco and Rachel?"

If young actors are selected, Lance is actually more optimistic about Ryan Reynolds. This Canadian actor is not only handsome, but also has certain highlights in his acting skills. Works such as "buried alive" and "bloody lonely words" are worthy of recognition. Ryan's temperament, which is elegant/flowing/spoken but slick, does have similarities with Iron Man. However, Ryan always seems to lack a little luck and fails to play "Green Lantern". Apart from the "fake marriage" in 2009, he has never been very popular. He did not make it until the movie "Deadpool".

But Lance is a little vague about the current time point. Ryan seems to have no works so far, and he has just come to Hollywood from Canada. Lance is not sure how good Ryan is in acting.

Jon did not answer immediately, glanced at Lance, and wanted to speak but stopped. It can be seen that he had already had a curse in his heart, but because he was concerned about Lance, he was still hesitant. Lance couldn't help but smile and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you made a decision?"

Jon waved his hand, "It's not a good decision." But someone in his heart chose it, "I think..." Jon paused for a while, "What do you think of Robert Downey Jr.? Or Ryan Reynolds?"

Lance slightly closed his lower jaw. It has to be said that Jon has a unique vision. He has his own understanding of the script of "Iron Man". Just like choosing Rachel as Little Pepper, Lance also feels that the two candidates Robert and Ryan are very well-equipped, and different actors will match different styles.

"If you choose Robert, although his height is a problem, his maturity and steadyness and a ruffian taste are very suitable. Unfortunately, he does not have the chic style of Howard Hughes." Jon sighed slightly, and his eyes showed regret. In fact, Leonardo DiCaprio, who is really close to Howard Hughes, does have the special temperament of the golden age, but Leonardo and "Iron Man"'s funny style still cannot match, and it is also useless to let Leonardo play "Iron Man". "If you choose Ryan, there is no problem with his appearance, and it can even be said to be perfect, and his temperament is very appropriate. However, he is too young, and he is only thirty years old this year. I am not sure whether he can be competent for Tony Stark's entrepreneurial identity."

Lance nodded slightly and expressed his affirmation, "Then, you'll let them come over for the second audition another day."

Jon didn't react for a moment. Although Lance gave him the right to choose the actor, he never expected that things would go so smoothly. Looking at today's audition process, the twenty-four actors stood behind them, with iron-fisted agents, various connections and interests, including many top brands like Will Smith. He is now a member of the 20 million club, but Lance made the decision so frankly and adopted his opinion, which made Jon really stunned.

"Really?" Jon couldn't help but repeat, thinking that he was hallucinating his hearing.

Lance nodded with a smile and gave a positive answer. Then he saw an excited look in Jon's eyes. This is a good thing. He needs Jon to be "obedient". From the chess pieces to the chess players, his vision and perspective have changed quietly. "So, do you have any ideas about the villain?"
