In the next two days, Kevin Feige sent someone to contact Robert Downey Jr., and Matthew was also paying attention to the dynamics there. Robert Downey Jr. was very interested in playing Tony Stark.

The former Oscar nominee for Best Actor is now in a difficult situation. Drug addiction and imprisonment have almost ruined his acting career. Fortunately, his family relationship is still there. Many people still sell some face to the old Robert Downey, Mel - Before Gibson completely offended the Jewish people in the circle, he pulled Robert Downey Jr., and George Clooney also supported Robert Downey Jr., but in the end, he could not completely change the situation of Robert Downey Jr. He was once again the genius actor of the 1990s.

Marvel has doubts about Robert Downey Jr. The probability of drug relapse is too high.

Fortunately, there are no solutions in this regard. At the suggestion of Helen Herman, Kevin Feige formulated a strict salary payment plan. If Robert Downey Jr. can pass Tony Stark's proposal For audition, in addition to the first salary with a very low proportion, the remaining more than 70% of the salary can only be obtained after the official release of "Iron Man".

During the period, if Robert Downey Jr. broke the drug scandal, not only would he not get the remaining remuneration, but also pay the crew the same amount of compensation as the remuneration.

This is the premise of the crew inviting Robert Downey Jr. to audition, and it is also a precautionary measure to remind Robert Downey Jr. in the form of money.

Robert Downey Jr. has no bargaining capital now. According to Matthew's information, even if Robert Downey Jr. passes the audition, Marvel will only offer him a salary of $500,000.

"Kevin, I have a suggestion, you should consider it."

In the office of Marvel Studios, Matthew put down the information of Robert Downey Jr. and said, "If "Iron Man" goes well, our follow-up plans will be launched, right?"

"Well." Kevin Feige nodded. Now Matthew is the second largest investor in films outside Marvel, and has the right to invest in follow-up works. The two sides are on the same front, and there is no need to hide some things. "If the plan can be implemented, after four or five movies, we will assemble the Avengers."

Matthew knew this when he was negotiating, "If that's the case, Kevin, why not sign a few more deals with Robert Downey Jr.?"

Kevin Feige was stunned for a moment. They didn't think about it so much now. After all, "Iron Man" is a gamble, and no one can guarantee the outcome.

Matthew is now an investor and producer, and naturally he will consider issues from a standpoint that is in his own interests, and simply said to Kevin Feige, "According to the plan, once "Iron Man" is successful, there will be "Iron Man" in the follow-up. "Man 2"? And "The Avengers"? These all require Tony Stark to appear, why don't we sign multiple film contracts with the actor at one time? Even if the actor has to renegotiate the salary, we will relatively Be proactive."

"Yeah!" Kevin Feige nodded, "I ignored it."

Matthew smiled and added, "Now that Robert Downey Jr. is in a bad situation, it's a good opportunity for us to put forward these conditions. If "Iron Man" is a big hit, and we talk to him about a new contract, then Passive."

Kevin Feige went back and forth in the office twice, echoing, "I'll let people start preparing, even if the person who passed the audition is not Robert Downey Jr., we have to try to sign a few more movie contracts at one time. ."

Matthew didn't say anything more. Kevin Feige was distracted by funding and other issues before and didn't think about it. Now after his reminder, he will definitely find a way to get a contract that is beneficial to the film side. Robert Downey Jr.'s The situation, as long as the contract is not too much, it is estimated that it will come down.

When Matthew watched entertainment gossip, he noticed that Robert Downey Jr. is the highest paid among all Marvel actors. One person's salary can equal the combined income of all other Avengers members. This is because Iron Man The most popular with fans, on the other hand, Marvel first signed a single contract with him.

Probably Marvel itself did not expect that "Iron Man" would be so successful, and Marvel's situation was not very good. When Robert Downey Jr. was activated, he only signed a film contract for "Iron Man".

When "Iron Man" was a big hit, and Marvel wanted to invite Robert Downey Jr., Robert Downey Jr.'s salary increased more than tenfold.

This has led to a vicious circle, "Iron Man" continues to sell well, Tony Stark is becoming more and more popular, and the opening of a one-sign Robert Downey Jr. is no longer a lion's mouth...

Matthew is very clear that if Robert Downey Jr. really wants to play this role, the treatment will be much worse than before, but he feels at ease, suppressing labor for his own benefits, isn't that what capital has been doing?

Although he doesn't understand movie operations, he sees farther than Marvel itself in the Marvel superhero series. He still has many Marvel superhero movies to invest in in the future. Don't dig with Robert Downey Jr. Pit, do you have to wait for the future when Robert Downey Jr. opens his mouth?

According to Matthew's own guess, the biggest headache for the Marvel superhero series, Marvel Studios and Disney should be the remuneration of Robert Downey Jr.

As for changing actors, it is estimated that the movie can go to grandma's house.

Even, Hollywood has never had such two superstars limited to a single series, one is Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow, and the other is Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man.

Before coming out of Marvel Studios, Matthew asked in detail about Marvel Studios' follow-up movie plans. Perhaps Marvel itself is not in a good relationship. The Marvel superhero series has plans, but it is not particularly clear. In a plan given to him by Kevin Feige, he saw the names of many superheroes, such as Luo Dadun, Brothers Gaoji, Dr. Pancake, and so on.

As for the specific filming in the future, Marvel will have to wait for the release of "Iron Man" before making a decision.

If Iron Man fails, those that follow will be postponed indefinitely.

Walking out of Marvel Studios and getting into the Mercedes-Benz sedan waiting at the door, Matthew turned his head to see the office building painted with comic heroes, and suddenly thought of one thing, can superhero movies win Oscars in the future? Or change the status of low-level naive in the circle and the media?

There are also commercial movies that are also aimed at making money. There are also three, six, and nine grades. The comic superhero movies are undoubtedly the kind with very low status.

This is recognized throughout Hollywood, not his own.

The Mercedes-Benz car turned around and headed for Beverly Hills to the south. Matthew would be fine, thinking about it.

With the current social environment in Hollywood and the development trend, there is actually a good way to change the superhero movies.

Find a suitable superhero movie that brings together LGBT elements such as women's rights, black people, and homosexuality. Anyone who dares to give a bad review will be sprayed to death.

Actually, Wonder Woman is quite suitable.

Matthew instantly thought of the long-legged woman he had seen on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The woman herself added a feminist color, and then she got a black lover for her... No, it's a black woman lover. Choose the subject well, to Time feminism + homosexuality + politics + black people + environmental protection + refugees...

Who will dare to fight then? Who dares not give praise?

Very good, the box office and word of mouth have all exploded, and the best picture Oscar is bound to get it.

Thinking of this, Matthew whispered softly, "Spider-Man must love black people, and the goddess also loves black people. We all love black people. Fortunately, I also use black toothpaste, which is considered to keep up with the trend."

Suddenly, he discovered a key question. If dog-loving becomes the number one political correctness in Hollywood, what should mainstream Hollywood movies do?

cough……

Matthew clenched his fist and coughed, and quickly interrupted this boring thought, Hollywood is not the San Fernando Valley after all.

His phone rang suddenly, but it was Kevin Feige.

The two had just met and called at this time. Matthew was a little curious. He answered the phone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked, "Hi, Kevin, what's the matter?"

"I forgot to tell you something." Kevin Feige on the other side of the phone had a strange voice, "Can you listen to me?"

"Go ahead."

Kevin Feige over there continued, "I have an idea, it's good for Iron Man promotion, what do you think of Gwyneth Paltrow?"

As soon as these words came out, Matthew immediately understood what Kevin Feige meant and reminded, "You may not have noticed? Gwyneth Paltrow is married."

"Ah... I ignored it." Kevin Feige seemed to pat his head, "Or..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Matthew on the phone, "Kevin, leave this kind of thing to Robert Downey Jr. Well, I still have something to do, keep in touch."

Matthew then hung up the phone.

Gossip and gossip is indeed a good way to keep the topic and attention, but Matthew doesn't want to use it in a specific movie. First, he has too much gossip and gossip. Second, he has used it a few times before. It may not be that good by itself.

As for what Kevin Feige said about Gwyneth Paltrow, Matthew didn't even think about it. The other party is not only married, but also the most famous princess in Hollywood.

Who would provoke a person who thinks he is more particular than a princess when he has nothing to do? Isn't that asking for trouble?

After "Iron Man" received a $40 million capital injection from Matthew, the preparations were gradually on the right track, and the selection of the remaining actors was also put on the routine. The actors were crammed into the crew.

The salary of these people is not high, but the advantage is that the number of people is large. The commission that the angel agency can get is also a pretty good figure.
