Robert Downey Jr.'s role in two and a half heroes is accidental, mainly because Adrian is not interested in starring Charlie Sheen in two and a half men. He has a certain understanding of this popular TV show in his previous life. Charlie Sheen's various bad things have brought a lot of trouble to the crew, although he plays live Although the producer tolerated the character a lot, he was eventually kicked out of the room. But that's a couple of seasons later, and the role has become so popular that even though everyone thinks it's time to change actors, ratings are inevitably going down a lot. []
so when Adrian decided to cut this off from the source, he first eliminated Charlie Sheen after making the show. But you have to have a suitable actor to play the leading role, right? So Robert Downey Jr. came into view.
Like most young actors and actresses, Robert Downey, Jr. became a bit of a fool after he became famous. Especially after he was nominated for the Oscar, he began to become arrogant and unscrupulous. For example, he took drugs, speeding, breaking into private houses and so on. In 1996, he was arrested many times in a year, and finally entered twice because of breaking the probation and bail regulations A total of 16 months in prison.
Rao, who was still involved in a fight in early 1998, was released from prison for treatment for facial injuries and was released on parole at the end of July.
Although the relationship between old Robert Downey and his son has been stumbling, as a father, he is still very concerned about him, so he runs around trying to find a chance through his network. Because Robert Downey, senior, worked as a screenwriter for the "mission impossible" TV series, Adrian had some cooperation with him when making the first "mission impossible" movie, so he finally found him here.
After hardly thinking about it, Adrian decided to let Robert Downey play the role of Charlie Sheen in two and a half heroes. Although there was no big difference between him and Charlie Sheen in the past four years, many people in the circle avoided him and thought that he couldn't get up again. But don't forget, Adrian is Know how it will develop in the future.
As long as Donnie is successful in detoxification and his acting skills are first-class, this investment is absolutely worthwhile. It is always more appreciated to give help in a timely manner than to add to the icing on the cake. Of course, proper tapping is also necessary.
"It's a pity that I didn't have a lot of talent when I was nominated, but I didn't think I was a bit of a star when I was nominated for the Oscars." Adrian said, after greeting young Donnie to his seaside villa in Malibu.
"Life is always full of these temptations. When you are not clear, it's easy to make mistakes." Little Downey sighed. His beard was clean and his clothes were neat, but he was a little skinny and his face was not very good. He had been in prison for more than ten months.
But it also made him grow up a lot, so even though Adrian talks a little old-fashioned, he always keeps this kind of respectful look, knowing that he is two or three years older than him. Of course, even if Downey was still the same character a few years ago, Adrian's identity was there, and like Solomon, they were of the same age. But ten years ago, he was a little director, and ten years later he was a media tycoon. How can he stand up straight.
"It's great to hear you say that. Although we often say that God will forgive young people for their mistakes, the premise is that they should know where they are wrong and be willing to correct them." Adrian looked at him and said with a smile, "I asked people to look into the matter of the Los Angeles County prison. After you were in prison, you performed very well. That fight was involved. The reason why I decided to let you play a role in this TV play was not only what your father said, but also one of the important reasons why I think you have the desire to correct. I believe you should not let your father and I lose Look, right? "
"No Downey's short reply was that there was a complex look on Adrian's face when he mentioned his father.
"Then you should accept some necessary arrangements?" Adrian immediately asked, little Downey did not speak, frowned and looked inquisitive.
"I'll let the company monitor your behavior, urge you to cooperate with the parole officer, make sure you don't use drugs again, and supervise your participation in drug rehabilitation activities." Adrian said, then did not give little Downey a chance to speak, continued: "these will be written into the contract, as long as you do things according to the regulations, we will also endorse for you, and if you stay in a hotel, you must make arrangements."
Repressing his discontent, Downey frowned a little again when he heard this. He was not a fool. He couldn't miss Adrian's words, but who would be against him? Adrian couldn't answer this question. He would make this mainly based on a piece of information found in his memory, that is, the incident that young Donnie was jailed again for possession of drugs in the early 00 years.
Downey, who was released from prison at that time, was also involved in a TV play - which is one of the reasons Adrian considered him - but one day after checking in at a hotel on the other side of Palm Springs, the police received an anonymous phone call saying that there was a lot of cocaine and valium in his room, and the police did find a lot after they went there, although he argued that he had been drugged They were brought under the influence, but they were still prosecuted.After being released on parole again, it is easy to be found wandering barefoot in the streets of calve city. Therefore, he was once again called to the police station for suspected drug abuse. Although he only stayed for a few hours this time, some of the cast members who had begun to contact with him also retreated. After that, he made up his mind and took two years to get rid of drugs, and then slowly got up again.
Let's not talk about Downey's problem. This anonymous call is very interesting. If it's from a hotel, the media won't mention it. But from the beginning to the end, including the police, they said anonymous calls, so it's hard to guarantee that someone didn't deliberately target him. In the mid-1990s, he didn't seldom offend people.
So Adrian reminded him here and urged him to quit drugs by endorsing. If little Donnie made mistakes again, the final result would be more miserable than in his previous life. You know, Adrian personally invited and arranged this contract. If he still made something, it would be said that Adrian's vision is not good, the consequences can be imagined.
If little Downey really has a strong desire to turn over, even if he has not experienced the last two unfortunate events, he will agree to come down. Of course, he can not refuse to agree. That is his freedom. However, some movies will have nothing to do with him. Adrian has no interest in cultivating non himself. In Hollywood, no one can not be replaced.
Finally, Robert Downey Jr. agreed to come down, and "two and a half men" was also arranged in the autumn. Adrian, who had seen the sample film, was still quite satisfied with his performance. At the same time, he also told the crew to keep a close eye on Downey. It's one thing for him to make a mess of himself. It's another thing for someone to do something intentionally. If it's the latter, Adrian will let some people know.
In addition, there are several TV plays to be shown, one of which is Hu Kaili's double faced spy. Although "break baby 2" has been shot and will be released next year, and she has a good relationship with drew and Cameron, she has agreed to be invited to play in the TV series.
Hu Kaili is very clear about her position in the mind. Her congenital conditions have determined that she can not have a long-term development in the film, so she is not resistant to the role of TV drama, let alone. As for whether the use of Chinese American as the leading actress will affect the ratings, Adrian does not care. First of all, Hu Kaili and Reeves have only one fourth of Chinese ancestry. The "double faced spy" is arranged to be broadcast on the cable channel, and the viewing mode of the cable channel is after subscription, regardless of whether other program users of this channel like it or not Watching.
At best, the time period is a little bit short, but you can adjust a good date. If you can't do it on Tuesday, it will be good on Wednesday. These two days have always been the peak of ratings. If a TV series is moved to Friday, it is generally equivalent to announcing that it is about to be cut off or finished. In order to get a good time for American Idol, Charlize argued for a long time in the high-level meeting.
Many people think that although this talent show has potential, it has not yet passed the test of the audience. There are enough programs with high ratings a
C. There is no need to make room for this program. But Charlotte produced the data of the ongoing audition and several executives debated them one by one. The detailed materials and sharp words made them almost speechless.
"It's not only about the success or failure of this program, but also about our enterprising spirit! Gentlemen, a
C has been able to survive even in the face of losses by constantly trying, innovating and exploring, rather than relying on a few high ratings programs! " Charlize is said to have ended with this.
Although these are a little exaggerated, but with the fiery tone of Charlize and the strong female temperament that has always been displayed, several executives at the meeting were subdued, so they finally made a compromise to put part of the game on Wednesday appropriately, and then consider whether to put the final on Tuesday according to the ratings.
"Your assistant secretary is a wonderful woman, ed Paul Pollard, the current CEO, told Adrian at a reception.
"I'm just telling the truth." That's what Charlize says.
"How did you bring her up?" Claude was full of curiosity.
"She did a good job." Ivanka pretended not to care.
In any case, now all a
C all know that the new female director of the planning department is a strong woman with great courage and ability. Several other senior executives are still angry after her refutation - they know who is standing behind her. It is also a reason why Charles did not lose their face while refuting, plus her vigorous and vigorous work Wind will be planning department operation is quite efficient, so the title of "iceberg Queen" began to spread slowly.
OK, let's go back to the topic of "double faced spy". As long as you arrange a proper time period and the TV series itself is also very attractive, the audience rating may not be high at the beginning, but it will gradually catch fire later.
As we all know, American TV series only have one episode a week. For many TV series, it is necessary to set enough attractive suspense at the end of each episode and season. And this "double faced spy" has done a good job in this regard. Adrian still remembers that before a certain science fiction TV series, this TV series was the most brain burning. All kinds of big conspiracies and small conspiracies were put together to make people confused about what was true and what was false.This is actually a very good way to make up a story. In any case, as long as we introduce a bigger plot before a conspiracy is completely exposed, as long as we grasp this degree, once the ratings go down to China, it will be no problem to finish or cut off directly. As the saying goes, as long as you dare to underestimate the IQ of Americans, you can succeed.
Although there are a lot of high ratings programs, Adrian has also allocated some good episodes to C
s, n
C and W
these networks have some good episodes. Besides American Idol, there are also apprentice and skybridge in autumn, so he has made some adjustments to reality TV, such as upgrading millionaire to "Wise man is king" was handed over to the radio station, but the more programs with high ratings, the better.
With the rapid development of cable stations, besides the TNT of T
s and the ESPN of a
C, there are many separated CNN news channels, such as a
C family channel, women's channel with Hurst's shares, youth channel, etc., which need a large number of high-quality programs to fill them. For example, a
C family channel is aimed at Disney Channel, so it is about to launch new growing pains, and the star is Hillary Duff, who once played Shirley in the film version of biochemical crisis! For example, TNT is aimed at h
O, so after taking away "the city", "the underworld family", "six feet under" and "brothers company", they poached Larry David to produce "restraining enthusiasm".
Larry David is the screenwriter of Seinfeld biography. After the Song Fei Zhuan ended in 1998, he turned to be a film writer. Although the power of film writers is not as great as that of TV writers, their influence is much greater than that of TV writers. Moreover, there are more film writers who serve as the chairman of the writers union than TV writers. Unfortunately, he was good at composing short stories rather than long plays, so he was always in trouble. Adrian, who had sorted out h
O's well-known TV dramas, let people find him and produced "restrain enthusiasm", which should have appeared at this time.
Similar to Seinfeld's biography of Seinfeld, suppression of enthusiasm is also a comedy of the sketch mode. It also shows the semi real life of an actor by playing Larry David as Larry David. Because the investment is very small, he also takes on the burden of production as a part-time screenwriter and star. As long as he can maintain the consistent standard, the production of the last eight seasons should be like that of Seinfeld no problem.
In last year's ratings list, a
C's programs occupied six places in the top ten, which has greatly surpassed n
C and has become the number one of the four major TV networks. With the rapid development of cable TV stations, at most a few years later, they will enter into a situation of scuffle. Even with his support at that time, their own TV stations can still throw other people far away, but it also needs to be tested Considering the situation that big trees attract the wind and wind - it is already under consideration. Otherwise, it will not be handed over to C
s, but to n
C.
Therefore, it is better to push a
C to the peak at this time. First, let a
C wish to increase cohesion. Secondly, it is necessary to fully demonstrate its own strength, and then slowly retreat to maintain a certain advantage.
In terms of TV dramas, as for movies, bones in winter and never compromise are all coming to an end. They are all low-cost films, and they don't need CG effect like Lord of the rings. In particular, "bones in winter" has only two million investment, and the plot is relatively simple. When Natalie comes over to dub some of the shots, there will be only propaganda work left. "Never compromise" may take more time, but it's no big deal. Anyway, as long as it can be released at the end of the year, Adrian still has the energy to do something else, such as putting the production time of the remaining two "matrix" on the agenda.
After working overtime in the animation studio in Japan, the first animation about how robots rise has been shown on TV ahead of time. Although there is only one episode, it is enough to cheer up the already depressed fans of matrix. After the first film was released in 1998, countless fans have been looking forward to the latter two. Even though they have known a lot about the plot through the novel, they still have great expectations. Moreover, Adrian himself said that part of the content of the film version will be different from that of the novel version, especially the ending.
What fans didn't expect, however, was that in the following year, Adrian went to New Zealand and spent all his time shooting "the Lord of the rings". You can imagine how disappointed they were. Adrian also knows that it can't last too long, and as Monica gets older, the pairing with Reeves will be a bit out of place.
However, because of the production of two films this year, although the investment is very small, the "matrix" has to be filmed together with the latter two films. He does not want to recall his days in New Zealand, so he moved to next year. Next year's time is just right. Although we have to shoot another film, some preliminary preparations can be completed this year, such as Reeves and others' recovery training, or the layout of some props and venues.So when the person in charge came to ask which highway to communicate with the Transportation Bureau, Adrian waved his hand in a domineering way: "find a place to build a brand-new section for shooting before spending some time!"
