I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 206 Cameo
Qin Muchu looked around.

It was his first time in Hollywood, and he had never seen it in any form before, no photos, no TV, nothing like that.

He is full of curiosity about this famous entertainment sanctuary.

Originally, he thought that Hollywood would be a place similar to Hengdian, where many movie scenes were built, and crews could be seen filming everywhere.

But that's not the case.

A very modern city, like places like Hong Kong Island, Shanghai, and Yanjing.

Luxury stores, shopping malls, restaurants, busy roads...

And Qin Muchu's current location is a huge factory-like place, with more than a dozen factory buildings scattered in order.

"This is... a studio?"

Qin Muchu was not sure.

Jon's eyes lit up,
"Yes, many special effects shots of "Iron Man" were shot here. Mr. Qin knows movies very well? Oh yes, Mr. Qin should also be the owner of a certain film company, right?"

Qin Muchu nodded and did not say that he was the director.

But what Jon said made him feel that the fat man in front of him seemed to be more than just a driver.

"You seem to know Iron Man very well?"

Jon laughed, his chubby face looked quite happy:
"Sorry, I didn't introduce myself clearly. In fact, I am the director of "Iron Man"."

Are you a director?

Not only Qin Muchu was surprised, but Liu Xiqian and Liu Xiaoli were also surprised.

This fat driver turned out to be the director of such a big production as "Iron Man"?
The director personally picks up the plane and acts as the driver?

Is the status of Hollywood directors so low?
Jon seemed to understand the doubts of several people, scratched his hair and explained:
"Originally, Mr. Stan wanted to pick you up in person, but after all, Mr. Stan is old, so we persuaded him to come down and let me pick you up.

Well, in fact, I am also curious about the investors of the movie.

You know, I have never met an investor who can completely not interfere with the creation. You are really an angel. "

Qin Muchu didn't expect that when he came to Hollywood, the first thing he received was an "Angel Card".

The reason why he does not interfere with the creation is because "Iron Man" itself is adapted from comics, and the plot will not change much;
The second is the shooting of this kind of sci-fi blockbuster, which he doesn't understand. Unlike traditional movie shooting, this kind of blockbuster will use a lot of motion capture technology, and the cameras used for shooting are different.

Since Qin Muchu was unable to make suggestions on the plot and filming, he naturally would not interfere with the crew.

It is taboo for laymen to direct experts.

With his $9000 million in the movie, he wants it to hit the street more than anyone else.

Of course, non-intervention does not mean nothing at all, and a financial and accounting supervisor was sent to check the accounts.

Otherwise, I don't know how the money is gone.

"Please come with me, the old man is waiting for you inside, he... can't wait."

Jon led the way, while Qin Muchu and the others followed behind.

The four walked into a studio.

It is very large and empty, with furniture such as sofas and TVs, as well as machines such as cameras and radios used in shooting.

The most conspicuous thing is the green screen, which is indispensable for the production of special effects on the surrounding walls.

Qin Muchu was attracted by the green screen. He knew very early on that special effects were needed for shooting, but he had never used a green screen in his movies and TV series.

The superpower scenes in "Star You" are basically shot in real scene, or completed through editing, and some very simple special effects production does not use green screen.

So he is very curious about this thing, if he wants to make science fiction films in the future, then this thing must be indispensable.

Sensing Qin Muchu's gaze, Jon enthusiastically introduced:

"This studio is Stark's luxury villa, and the relevant scenes are all shot here."

Iron Man's villa?

Qin Muchu has some impressions, a very luxurious mansion, after all Iron Man is not short of money.

but……

"Why don't you find a villa for real shooting?"

In the United States, it should be easy to find a big villa for filming.

Why bother to set up a studio so laboriously, and do post-production special effects, which is laborious and expensive.

"In fact, we also found a villa, but because of some special effects shots, we had to build a studio for the villa and use special effects to restore the villa." Jon explained.

Qin Muchu was taken aback.

Using special effects to restore the villa is a meticulous job.

Everything about the villa has to be considered, and it has to be real. After the movie is released, the audience will definitely wear a magnifying glass to find the difference.

He also has his own special effects company, but there is still a certain gap to achieve this level.

So... do you want to poach some corners?

Take them from the evil capitalist society to enjoy the 996 blessings of socialism?

Just as Qin Muchu was thinking, a slightly lively old voice sounded.

That's right, lively and old.

Contradictory, but not conflicting.

"Ask Jon, why he hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he went to the airport of Tianchao to pick up people?

If he loses my guest, I'm gonna kick his big ass in Iron Man armor, you know what I mean? "

At this time, another younger and helpless voice came, like coaxing a child:
"Grandpa, you started saying this just 10 minutes after Director Jon left, and it's only been less than three hours now. Maybe he drove there instead of flying there wearing Mark One. It takes time."

"Hmph, if it were me, I wouldn't be slower than Mark One even if I was driving! Donnie, when I was your age, I already won several racing championships!"

"A friendly match between neighbors or a bumper car final at an amusement park?"

……

Hearing the voice, Qin Muchu felt a rippling in his heart, and his eyes became a little fiery.

If it is correct, the two people speaking are...

Downey followed Stan Lee closely, always paying attention to the wires and scattered props under his feet, so as to prevent the old man from accidentally tripping over, that would be great fun.

The reason why he didn't help him was because the old man refused to let him.

In the morning, he also talked about the story he had to tell some time ago with a few big hot girls, although the plot was too nonsense, everyone agreed that it was bragging.

But Stan Lee insisted that he was telling the truth, so true that he could lift Thor's hammer while saying it.

The standard does not obey the old.

Turning his head inadvertently, Downey suddenly found a few more strangers in the studio.

His gaze skipped over the strange man for an instant, and stayed on the two women.

Wow, beautiful oriental woman.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jon's huge body broke into his eyes, which brought him back to his senses.

"Donnie, you didn't take the opportunity to speak ill of me in front of the old man. Maybe I can consider adding a few kiss scenes to you. What do you think?"

With a playful smile on Jon's fat face, he put his arm around Downey's shoulder.

Against the backdrop of his tall and burly figure, Downey was held in the arms of a hen like a little chick.

Downey was obviously displeased with this action, and gave Jon a big stomach blow,
"Maybe I'll be happier if you add some scenes where Tony beats up Happy."

Jon didn't mind at all, his big belly just trembled without any pain.

Instead of continuing to quarrel with Downey, he turned to look at Mr. Stan Lee at the side, laughed and said:

"Old man, it seems that you have no chance to kick my ass."

Then he turned to Qin Muchu:

"I brought it to you."

Stan Lee followed Downey's gaze, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying:

"Wow, that's incredible."

Then he walked towards Qin Muchu with a smile on his old face.

Qin Muchu was also a little excited. The white-haired old man in front of him was the "Father of Marvel", the creator of a series of famous superheroes such as Iron Man and Spider-Man.

Seeing the old man getting closer, Qin Muchu took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

Regardless of achievement or age, Stan Lee is enough to earn his respect.

This is the American version of Jin Yong.

"S... hiss—"

The former one was a title that was not called out, while the latter one was a breath of air-conditioning.

Stan Lee brushed past him with a smile, and went straight to... Liu Xiaoli!

"Sorry, Ms. Qin, I never knew you were such a beautiful lady. Forgive me for calling you Mr. in my letter."

Stan Lee apologized to Liu Xiaoli sincerely.

Such a magical development stunned everyone present.

Donnie looked at Jon in disbelief:
"So our boss is an oriental woman? I always thought he was a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly like you."

With that said, he patted Jon's big belly again.

Jon responded to Downey's personal attack by bouncing off Downey's hand with his stomach, and ignored Downey who made fun of him, as they often mocked each other on the set.

Immediately to Stan Lee:

"Wrong, wrong, old man, Mr. Qin is indeed a man."

"Male? Jon, do you think I'm an old man with dizzy eyes? Can't tell the difference between male and female?"

Stan Lee thought that Jon was playing with him, and decided in his heart that he still wanted to kick his ass.

"no no."

Jon was a little dumbfounded, and explained:

"This is not Mr. Qin. They were brought by Mr. Qin. The real Mr. Qin is there."

Jon pointed at Qin Muchu who was standing still awkwardly.

Stan Lee looked at Qin Muchu, shocked by his youthful appearance.

This is also the reason why he thinks that Liu Xiaoli is "Mr. Qin". Among the three, only Liu Xiaoli looks older, and the other two are too young.

Stan Lee thinks they may be secretaries and bodyguards.

Looking at Jon again, Stan Lee approached him and whispered:
"Jon, if you play tricks on me, I swear, I'll kick your ass!"

"Old man, I want to have my ass kicked by you, but reality doesn't allow it."

Jon smiled helplessly. If he hadn't picked up the plane, he wouldn't have believed that the investment of 9000 million US dollars came from such a young man.

After getting a positive answer from Jon, although Stan Lee still didn't want to believe it, the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

He smiled again, walked towards Qin Muchu, and said in almost the same words to Liu Xiaoli just now:
"Sorry, Mr. Qin, I never knew you were such a young man. Forgive me for my rudeness just now."

After a pause, he winked mischievously at Qin Muchu again:
"Young, rich and handsome men are supposed to get a little bit of a snub among their own sex, shouldn't they?"

Qin Muchu smiled.

What a funny old man.

……

In the next few days, Mr. Stan Lee took Qin Muchu not only to visit various filming locations of "Iron Man", but also took him to visit Marvel Studios.

Contrary to Qin Muchu's expectations, the Marvel studio at this time is not grand, it is just a small company several floors high, with many Marvel comics and animation character dolls.

The company is still a bit dilapidated, as if it hasn't been renovated for a long time.

"This is the earliest old site, and now it is no longer working here, and it has become a museum-like thing."

Stan Lee glanced over the comic books, his eyes full of memories and nostalgia.

It has been nearly 70 years since Marvel was founded, and he has accompanied Marvel all the way.

"When I entered Marvel, I was about your age, so fast." Stan Lee felt a little emotional.

Qin Muchu didn't say a word. A comic company can exist for nearly 70 years. It can be said that it has become an indispensable symbol of the country where it is located, influencing the growth of generations.

"Oh, I'm getting older, I always like to recall the past."

Stan Lee waved his hand, and a smile appeared on his face that was still emotional just now.

Qin Muchu's getting along these days has also revealed some of the old man's temper.

In a nutshell, it is three words - old child.

There are joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sometimes tantrums like a child, which needs to be coaxed, but sometimes, like just now, I lament life in an old tone.

It's a bit like "do whatever you want without breaking the rules". Behind the old child is an open-mindedness to see through the world.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, what is your occupation? I don't think it's just the boss of a film and television company?
You seem to be very interested in movies, I mean your interest is not the interest of film and television company owners, but another kind, the creator's kind.

Perhaps, you are an actor or director? "

Stan Lee said suddenly.

Qin Muchu was startled, he didn't expect Stan Lee to be so good at guessing, and his guessing was so accurate.

Just because he was very interested in Jon's filming, he can infer this information.

Qin Muchu didn't deny it either, and directly admitted it generously, and there was nothing to hide about it.

"Old man, I am indeed a director... I can also be regarded as an actor."

"Haha."

Stan Lee smiled happily, as if happy that he had guessed right.

"Let me guess again, you must be very famous in the Celestial Dynasty, right?"

Stan Lee blinked like a kid betting.

Qin Muchu smiled and nodded:
"Fame is okay, but how did you guess that?"

Stan Lee approached Qin Muchu's ear and whispered:

"secret."

Qin Muchu smiled.

He has seen the old man's bad character many times these days.

And Stan Lee walks away like a joke.

In fact, he found Qin Muchu's identity through the Internet. Qin Muchu is well-known in Asia. Although he has almost zero reputation in Europe and the United States, if he wants to check, he can still find some news on the Internet.

"So, since you are both a director and an actor, do you have any interesting ideas for tomorrow's guest appearance?" Stan Lee asked suddenly.

Yes, cameos.

Stan Lee invited Qin Muchu to guest star in "Iron Man", leaving traces in the movie.

This is a way for the elderly to express their gratitude.

His wish is to leave traces in every Marvel work in the short time left, that is, to guest star in every Marvel movie.

If Qin Muchu is willing, he wants to invite Qin Muchu to guest star with him in every Marvel movie.

Not only because Qin Muchu Marvel extended a helping hand when he needed help the most, but also because after a few days of getting along, the old man felt that Qin Muchu was also a pure person.

He has lived for more than 80 years, and he is confident that no one can hide from his eyes.

"What do I think?" Qin Muchu was taken aback.

Originally, the old man had already surprised him by inviting him to play a guest role in the Marvel series, but he was not expected to be allowed to play a guest role freely.

If it's just a cameo in a certain movie, that's fine, at most it's just a sideshow.

But the entire Marvel series is different.

In the past life memory, so far, there is only one person who runs through the entire Marvel universe series, and that is Stan Lee.

Creator of Marvel.

He has a different identity in every Marvel movie.

Some netizens jokingly called Marvel's OAA, that is, God. In fact, on a certain level, it is indeed true.

But if he also made a guest appearance in every Marvel work, his status would be extraordinary.

Has also become a big boss in the Marvel universe?

"What? Isn't this your major?" Stan Lee's words brought Qin Muchu back to his senses.

"no problem."

Without hesitation, Qin Muchu agreed.

It was just a cameo, and he was quite sure about the few seconds of the shot.

……

"Get ready, start!"

Following Jon's order to start filming, the actors immediately entered the state.

This is a press conference.

There were dozens of reporters sitting in the audience, all of whom came for Iron Man's true identity.

Qin Muchu watched quietly from the side.

He didn't know how nonsense the crew was until he arrived at the "Iron Man" crew.

Can you believe a $1.5 million movie has no script?
Of course, it's not that there is no script at all, and the general events and plot direction are given, but the specific line performance basically depends on the free play of the actors and the director's on-site creation.

A strong visual sense of filming on Hong Kong Island...

Geneva, money back!
Fortunately, Jon felt Qin Muchu's dissatisfaction and took timely remedial measures.

Remedial measures are now in progress.

……

"I didn't say you were a superhero," said a female reporter.

Tony is a little embarrassed and a little nervous
"Er, no? That's fine, because the idea is obviously weird and absurd.

I have a lot of flaws and character flaws myself..."

According to the original script, this paragraph is his monologue.

But at this time, a Chinese female reporter suddenly stood up in the group of reporters, it was Liu Xiqian.

She turned the microphone on Tony:
"Mr. Stark, the public needs a truth!"

The camera turned to Liu Xiqian's face. She wore rimless eyes, and her slightly wrinkled eyes were full of determination.

It's a bit like a beautiful reporter who pursues the truth.

"Read it according to the manuscript, don't be fooled by the beauty." Rhodes reminded.

"The truth is..."

Tony looked at the manuscript paper in his hand, put it down suddenly, and his eyes gradually became firm:

"I am Iron Man."
