Chapter 645

After the seven "superheroes" sat down, Donny held up his mobile phone and sent tonight's dinner and group photos to his social account, coupled with what he said before, and then turned the mobile phone to mute and threw it aside.

At this party, Li Xianzhe tried his best to guide this group of girls to communicate with their friends, so as to ensure that even if they were shooting, they would not be reduced to matching scenes in the whole process.

It is precisely because of his admiration for Li Xianzhe and the feelings of these Hollywood stars that Downey simply let everyone not ask them three questions at will. Anything can be done. This move directly heated the atmosphere.

"Li ~ I have to tell you I'm sorry. If it weren't for the damn directors of the company, you might have put on this dress two years ago."

Maybe he drank too much. Kevin sat over in a drunken tone and put his arms around Li Xianzhe's shoulder.

"Kevin, that's all in the past. What's more, the annoying people have left. I don't care. Why do you care?"

The seemingly unrelated dialogue between the two made many people feel confused.

Did Li Xianzhe miss a chance to play a "superhero"? Looking at the two people's broken thoughts, Zheng Caiyan summoned up the courage to look at Downey. At this time, they have been familiar with these stars.

"Excuse me, has he had a chance to play before?"

Zheng Caiyan asked herself that her English was not good, and the meaning expressed was vague. She probably saw the thoughts of these girls. Donny held raw pepper in her mouth and ate it. The strong spicy smell made him wake up a lot.

"You guessed right. In fact, before Li went to the army two years ago, he had a fierce quarrel with the senior management of marvel.

Because in the global box office of Iron Man 3 and sol and Captain America, the proportion of the Asian box office even exceeded that of North America, which made some people sprout to shoot a superhero film for Asian audiences. "

Zheng Caiyan was puzzled because she knew that the superhero iron fist was actually Li Xianzhe's favorite.

Every time they talk about Marvel movies in private, Li Xianzhe always has a trace of pity in his eyes.

"After reading the original cartoon, they chose the superhero iron fist. Li's suggestion is to find a well-known actor in Asia to play this role. In that case, he will write the script of iron fist himself.

But those people rejected his proposal and thought that pure Asian faces would not be popular in North America. "

Hollywood is the region with the most serious racial discrimination in the world. Here, whites stand at the top, especially those who have American nationality and are born and raised here.

The next level is foreign whites, such as British whites, French whites and so on.

The third level is black, followed by Asian actors.

The Asians here are still half American, and then the bottom is the Asian actors who are native to the United States.

Over the years, many Asian filmmakers have tried to break this barrier into Hollywood, but only a few have succeeded. They rely on a single action theme rather than using acting skills to conquer them.

"At that time, Li asked them loudly, while you value the box office in Asia, you don't want to use Asian actors.

Li thought that the senior management at that time only wanted to treat the audience in Asia as a money bag, so he refused to serve as the screenwriter of iron fist.

Even then, Marvel's high-level collective put pressure on Kevin and asked him to play this role directly, provided that all the dialogue in the film was in English, Li flatly refused. "

No wonder Kevin will break out with alcohol tonight. Iron fist should have become a bridge for strengthening cooperation between marvel and Li Xianzhe.

And there were serious differences within Marvel about whether to shoot a film or a reality play for this role.

The reason why Li Xianzhe dared to face up to the conflict with Marvel's senior management is also because many Asians support him among Marvel's senior management.

During the launch of Marvel film universe, a sister version of "TV universe" was born accordingly.

This is tantamount to changing some superheroes who are not popular and do not have the benefit of making films into TV dramas.

Of course, there are many successful works, such as special agent of s.h.i.e.l.d. for several seasons, Luke cage, super brave man and so on.

"As you know later, Li broke up with his ex girlfriend because of his mother's death. After a double blow, it happened that the plan of iron fist was shelved.

At that time, Li's school held a recruitment plan for foreign college students, and Li chose to go to the army for training. "

Downey talks about himself. Drunk Kevin is like a child, lying in Li Xianzhe's arms and chattering endlessly.

For example, after Li Xianzhe left, marvel saw the box office terrorist benefits of the Avengers, some directors used their rights to hire well-known Hollywood writers, launched the shelved iron fist and launched a live action version.

(in reality, the live action series iron fist came out in 17-18 years and was launched for two seasons. The time here is ahead of schedule.)

Before that, marvel had me test the reaction of North American fans and solicit opinions on iron fist on the Internet.

Everyone knows that in the original cartoon, Daniel Rand is depicted as a blonde white man, but with Marvel's plan to launch the iron fist reality play, there is a high voice on the Internet to "suggest marvel to find an Asian actor to play", because only Asian actors can better understand and interpret oriental culture.

Although there is a certain difference between this idea and Li Xianzhe's original idea, there is no problem in general.

As a result, marvel did not accept the proposal after confirming the operator, refused to respond, and finally chose Finn Jones to play Daniel Rand.

After the successful broadcasting of the first season, the overwhelming criticism did not wake Marvel up.

Perhaps in the view of many people, if Marvel changed the protagonist in time and formulated a new excellent script, this IP would not be on the street to the end.

With only changing the operators of the first season, marvel finally responded to the results and growing criticism in the second season and stopped making the third season.

After Li Xianzhe in the army learned the news on TV, he just sighed.

Among Marvel's many superheroes rich in oriental culture, there is no doubt about the popularity of iron fist, and many fighting games have been born in the name of iron fist, which is enough to prove that Europeans and Americans love this role.

After talking about Li Xianzhe's life experience in the United States, Downey looked at the girls and suddenly sat up straight with a very sincere face.

"The changes of Li in the past two years have surprised us. We don't know what he has experienced in the army, which can make him what he used to be.

But I... after all, I have worked with him for many years. He is not as strong as you see. I have seen him several times before. He was distracted by looking at the group photo with his family, and he was under too much pressure.

Although I feel sorry for Lee's transfer of his work to South Korea, at least I see more goals in Lee's life, that is, you. I can see that Lee cares about you very much. Otherwise, with his character, he will certainly not bring you here... "
