According to the "cross-pollination" concept of the Avengers Project, a character may play the leading role in one movie, play a supporting role in another movie, or play a funny guest in another movie.
Signing a long-term contract, even without considering the remuneration, can give the producer more flexibility in shooting and production.
Ronan also said to Kevin Fitch: “We don’t need to find first- and second-tier actors. The main goal is those non-star actors who are in good conditions but lack real opportunities. In addition, there are those who have fallen off for various reasons. These two groups need opportunities, and the required salary will not be high. In order to get the chance to become famous, they may sign a long contract with us."
"I understand." Kevin Fitch is not a newcomer. He immediately figured out the key points, and then asked: "Do you have a director and actor for this "Iron Man"?"
Ronan deliberated slightly and said directly: "The director's first choice is Jon Feiru. His last movie "Christmas Elf" impressed me very much. The male protagonist preferred Robert Downey Jr., and the female protagonist should audition."
The director is good to say that he can learn about it later, but Robert Downey Jr.'s reputation is too loud. Kevin Fitch couldn't help asking: "Robert Downey Jr. got rid of drugs?"
Ronan said, "According to what I understand, it should be got rid of it. You first contact Robert Downey Jr. and invite him to audition. If you don't get rid of the drugs or refuse to sign a long-term contract with us, you can just change. Yes, if Robert Downey Jr. can pass the audition and sign a drug restriction clause with him."
Kevin Fitch also thought of this and said, "I understand."
Ronan reminded again: "Jon Feiru, you communicate with him first. If it is suitable for the "Iron Man" series, you must at least try to sign a trilogy director contract. Robert Downey Jr. can pass the audition and sign the film contract. The longer the better, in the situation of Robert Downey Jr., he has no more choices."
In fact, since Robert Downey Jr. was released from prison, apart from Mel Gibson's strong recommendation and a few small roles as a guarantor, there is no other job at all, and there is no other way to choose in a short time.
Ronan’s biggest worry is not that Robert Downey Jr. refused to sign a long-term contract with Marvel, but that he did not really get rid of the influence of drugs.
Kevin Fitch asked at this time: "The heroine was only resolved through an audition?"
Ronan thought for a while and said, "If there is a suitable candidate, I will notify you as soon as possible."
Ronan doesn't plan to use that little pepper anymore, not to mention that the commercial appeal is very low, and among the very troublesome female stars in Hollywood, it is also the top batch.
How many crews would you like to suffer from Deep Princess Disease?
Ronan didn't want to find a female version of Johnny Depp for his crew anymore, the one with little commercial value.
At the very least, find a qualified vase actor.
With Ronan’s clear instructions, Kevin Fitch had a clear goal for his next work and began to focus on forming a crew.
"Iron Man" officially began preparations.
Ronan notified the people in the Legal Department to re-examine all agreements related to Sony Columbia in conjunction with Marvel Entertainment in order to prepare for future copyright and revenue disputes.
Once a loyal fan of Marvel movies, who doesn’t understand the bitterness of Marvel’s negotiation with Sony Columbia about the "return" of Spider-Man?
An accident happened to Ronan. At the end of April, Tom Cruise came and wanted to play Tony Stark.
"What?" Ronan couldn't hide the surprise on his face, looked at his friend, and asked: "Tom, are you kidding? You want to play Iron Man?"
Tom Cruise pressed his hands down to calm Ronan, and then said: "I have seen Iron Man comics before. The character Tony Stark comes from Howard Hughes. Tucker is very interested. Ronan, don't you think this role is also suitable for me?"
Ronan shrugged: "I didn't see it. Tony Stark in the movie's script setting is not exactly the same as the comics. It is more arrogant, acrid and venomous than the comics. This is seriously inconsistent with your usual image."
Tom Cruise hadn't read the relevant script, and when Ronan said this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Ronan doesn’t want Tom Cruise to play Iron Man. Tom Cruise lacks the discredit from Pat Kingsley, and the road ahead may be broader. There is also a "Mission Impossible" series on the commercial side. Now It is also in the sky, there is no need to enter the superhero movie that restricts image and development.
"There is a situation, I can tell you." Ronan said solemnly: "But you have to keep it secret."
Tom Cruise nodded: "Don't you worry about me?"
Ronan said directly: "Iron Man is just one of the Marvel movies. Do you know Marvel’s Avengers? This series of movies is called The Avengers Project. It involves more than 20 movies, including steel Xia may participate in more than ten movies."
He looked at Tom Cruise: "Tom, would you like to play more than ten roles in this role? Superhero is the role that can fix the image of an actor the most."
Hearing that he played a role more than ten times in a movie, Tom Cruise immediately dismissed his thoughts about Iron Man and said, "Forget it, wouldn't it mean that I would sign a contract with you."
Ronan couldn't help but laughed: "You have too many roles to choose from. Leave this opportunity to those little actors."
Tom Cruise knows Ronan better, and said: "The little actor has a low pay, and signing ten films at a time is equivalent to selling himself to your Relativity Entertainment."
Ronan corrected: "It's not relativity entertainment, it's Marvel entertainment."
Throwing Iron Man aside, Tom Cruise asked: "You are a little sure about the UK."
"I'll go alone, only five points." Ronan told the truth: "Add you and Will, at least 90%."
Tom Cruise nodded: "Don't worry, I will be ready to go to England."
Ronan deliberately said: "With your reputation, the media and fans will have much less resistance."
"Just because we are from America?" Tom Cruise is a sensible person: "So they have to resist."
Ronan said softly, "Many people over there are still living in the aftermath of the sunless empire, thinking that they are the only noblest in the world, and people from other countries are all hillbillies."
Tom Cruise shook his head, did not continue the topic, and said: "David Beckham is coming to Los Angeles some time later. I will call a party. Will you come?"
Ronan considered it a little and said, "From the middle of May, I have to go to France first, then to England, and possibly Germany later. There should be no time."
"Forget it." Tom Cruise is not without regret: "I still want to introduce David Beckham to you."
Ronan smiled: "There will be opportunities in the future."
As for the Victorian woman, since she has established a relationship with Tom Cruise, she will definitely not give up easily, and she will definitely pull David Beckham and Tom Cruise in close contact in the future.
David Beckham meets Victoria and doesn't know if he is lucky or unfortunate.
But one thing can be confirmed, this pair is definitely dry wood encountering a raging fire, soaring flames.
Tom Cruise added: "Some time ago I went to DreamWorks to coordinate the promotion of World War. I heard Spielberg said that DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment reached a cooperation agreement?"
"Report to the group to keep warm." Ronan saw very clearly: "The two companies have to face six extremely powerful opponents if they want to go further, and they can only temporarily form the same line to counter the trouble they bring."
In fact, it's really hard to say whether it works or not. After all, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment hope each other can withstand more firepower from the Big Six.
Tom Cruise said: "Spielberg is not a bad person, just a bit of a market, but this is not a disadvantage in the industry."
Ronan nodded: "My target and opponent have never been DreamWorks or Spielberg."
"That's fine." Tom Cruise said with a smile: "It would be difficult for me to be caught in the middle."
Although Tom Cruise and Spielberg are not as close as they are with Roan, they can also be counted as friends.
The two chatted for a long time before Tom Cruise left. Ronan knew that Tom Cruise was also very busy now. "Mission: Impossible 3" has been officially prepared and will start shooting at the end of this year or next year.
"Mission Impossible 2"'s poor audience reputation also put considerable pressure on the third part.
Ronan continued to deal with the affairs of Marvel Entertainment, signed two fax documents, and suddenly thought of Marvel’s decades-old rival DC.
Compared to the clear plan of the Marvel Universe, DC as a chaser, the chaos of the superhero movie plan is simply unsightly.
Various cutting projects, various restarts, various changes of actors, various temporary cancellations, etc., are endless.
Frankly speaking, comic superhero movies don't have much nutrition at all. The same type of film market appears more, which will cause the audience to nausea faster.
If DC Comics succeeds and the comic-changing films of the two giants are bombarded like an overwhelming bombardment, can the superhero movie market last that long?
Ronan has had a personal experience. When the Marvel Cinematic Universe entered the third stage, many fans of Marvel movies who were very fond and even fanatical around him could not help but turn black.
Regardless of the considerations, Ronan didn't want DC's Justice League universe to succeed. It's best to be as chaotic as it once was.
If there is no difference, how can you highlight the good ones? Even if many Marvel movies are good and limited.
In the afternoon, Ronan went to the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead" to see that the future Zach Schneider was very exciting.
