Chapter 272

Donny was lazily crossing his legs, but no one was dissatisfied with his frivolous behavior.

"Oh, you also know that the Avengers has made a very high box office. Marvel is very happy about it. Therefore, after the film went offline, they immediately started the plan of the second film."

"Really? So the Avengers is going to shoot the second film. Oh, my God, this is really hot news. "

With Allen's control of the scene, a lot of whistles suddenly sounded below.

"Yes, but at present, we are all waiting for someone. As long as he comes back, the script can be in place."

Downey's remark made Allen very curious. As we all know, screenwriters do not have a high status in the United States, which is in complete contrast to the treatment of screenwriters in South Korea.

In addition, few well-known screenwriters in the United States focus on writing only one theme type of story.

Film companies provide ideas and outlines, and then invite writers from outside to improve them. During this period, the company or director has the right to veto the script and replace people.

But in South Korea, the status of well-known screenwriters has led to the fact that even TV stations and directors can't intervene in screenwriting.

"He? Who is he? "

"He is my good friend. As we all know, I have experienced a low tide in the past. Others think that my wife helped me out of the dilemma.

But here I want to correct it. If my wife helped me get rid of my drug addiction, this is an opportunity for me to play iron man. "

With Downey's narration, many photos were released at the scene. Downey was working out, and Li Xianzhe wrote something in the book next to him.

Below the photo is the text, rehabilitation and fitness on the last day of March 3, 2008.

There are two people sitting together, buried in a pen, writing something, and next to them, they are filled with comics published by marvel.

On March 9, 2008, the script of iron man was written.

(in reality, iron man was shot from March to June 2007 and released in May 2008.

In the book, the shooting time was changed from April to July 2008, and the release time was 2009. PS, in reality, the second release is 10 years.)

Also on the set, Robert Downey Jr. wears iron man armor, a motion capture device and a boy in a hat talking to the director.

Later, more and more familiar scenes appear on the big screen, such as Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 and Avengers 1, or take private group photos.

Downey looked at the picture with an inexplicable look on his face, as did Li Xianzhe in South Korea.

"For me and marvel, Li is an indispensable existence. Because of him, I played iron man and have me now."

"According to what you said, is this Li just your friend or does he have any other identity?"

Allen looked at the smiling young man in the photo and became more and more interested in Li Xianzhe.

"When I was still a despised Downey in 2008, he came to me, and from then on to 12 years, it seemed that my agent was my wife, but in fact, my career was taken care of by Li.

From our cooperation in writing the script of iron man to marvel, to the establishment of Downey studio, and then to several later films, we can't do without Li's help. Therefore, it can also be said that Li is my agent. "

Robert Downey Jr's agent, this profession is actually not very powerful. Everyone only pays attention to Robert Downey Jr. rather than his behind the scenes team.

But now, the identity of Li Xianzhe and the relationship between the two people have been put forward by Downey, coupled with the influence of the Allen Show.

"Not only that, Li is also a business genius. My wife has always praised his talent. When the iron man film was just launched in 2008, in fact, Marvel's senior management had no confidence in the success of the film.

At this time, Li talked to them and said, "if the box office of iron man reaches 500 million, then I will continue to cooperate with them and reduce the film remuneration, on the condition that Marvel needs to give us 5% of the shares."

What Robert Downey Jr. said plunged everyone into a long absence.

When Li Xianzhe saw this paragraph over there, he calmly replied to the reporters' questions.

"Today, everyone saw the box office sales of Iron Man series, but in fact, as early as 1990, universal had bought the adaptation right of iron man.

However, in the next 15 years, the copyright of iron man kept turning around among universal, Fox and Xinxian, and none of them was included in the official launch project.

Until 2005, the copyright of iron man returned to marvel, but more than 30 screenwriters refused to handle it during this period, resulting in the lack of a complete script until the film started shooting.

(at the end of the movie, I'm iron man. It's a whim of Robert Downey Jr. until the end of shooting, there are only some dialogues in iron man, which are all played by actors on the spot)

Until 2008, Downey and I took the script. Downey conquered the top management of Marvel during the audition. Then, David Messer, the then Marvel's highest operator, and I jointly borrowed $140 million from the bank as the starting capital of iron man.

At that time, I could be regarded as a poor man.

Downey's film remuneration was only $500000 at that time, and my script remuneration was only $10000. It was with this that Downey and I made a bet with marvel.

No one would have thought that this film, which was not favored by anyone in the United States at that time, finally reached $585 million at the box office, successfully pulling Marvel back from the abyss.

At that time, marvel was heavily in debt and could only rely on selling comic copyright.

Later, the results were beyond everyone's expectation. After the first box office dividend arrived, Downey also got the 2% share I won for him.

Then Marvel couldn't wait to sign the script contract and actor contract for Iron Man 2 with us. Marvel took the initiative to increase the price by 2% and $8 million (in reality, Downey's second film paid $10 million). "

Alan listened to Downey's memories on the show. The most muttered word was "madman".

She was frightened by Li Xianzhe's boldness. Any American people know Marvel's black history. According to media reports, marvel lost all his money to shoot iron man, plus too much foreign debt.

The success of iron man seems to make Marvel proud. After realizing that superhero films are selling well, these people set their eyes on another popular figure - Hulk.

However, Downey told Allen that when Marvel asked Li Xianzhe to write the script of hawk, Li Xianzhe refused without thinking, asserting that the independent film could not be compared with iron man at all.

The two sides had a big quarrel over this, and finally broke up unhappily. As a result, a year later, Hawke rushed into the street as Li Xianzhe said.
