Chapter 948： Amazing progress

The latest website: As night falls, the Beverly Hills clubhouse is brightly lit, and luxury cars come one after another. Men in formal wear and beautiful women in gorgeous evening dresses continue to enter the gate of the clubhouse.

On both sides of the red carpet outside the gate, hundreds of reporters gathered in a specially designated media area and pressed the camera shutter frequently.

This is a celebration party jointly organized by Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment for "Iron Man" to celebrate the global sales of the film.

"Congratulations, Ronan."

In the grand banquet hall of the clubhouse, Chris from Sony Entertainment shook hands with Ronan and said, "Congratulations on the sale of "Iron Man"."

Ronan smiled and said, "I can only say that there is no failure, and it can't compare to your "Spider-Man."

Chris did not deny: "You can't ignore the gap between the popularity of the two. Who would have thought that "Iron Man" could have such an outbreak?"

The film has just been offloaded in North America, and the final box office in North America is 361.87 million U.S. dollars. It has not yet ended its release in overseas regions, but the overseas box office has reached more than 300 million U.S. dollars.

According to various predictions, the final global box office of "Iron Man" will inevitably exceed 650 million US dollars.

This result is certainly not as good as the "Spider-Man" movie, but before the two were adapted into a movie, the difference in popularity was not so big.

Ronan knew this too well and asked, "Spider-Man 3 will not be released until next year?"

"The shooting has just ended, and the post-production has not yet begun." Chris has nothing to hide: "It is planned to be released in summer next year."

He changed his conversation suddenly and said: "The first weekend of next year's summer vacation is in early May. It's best to be the first weekend. Does Embassy Pictures have plans to release a film this weekend?"

Ronan said: "Even if there is, we have to make way for Spider-Man 3."

This is the truth. There will be no popular sequels in the first-line productions released by Embassy Pictures next year, and it is impossible for first films such as "The Hulk" or "Transformers" to go head-to-head with such a big hit as "Spiderman 3" sequel.

Chris smiled and said, "We're all set."

"No problem." Ronan certainly wouldn't refuse this smooth enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he said: "Chris, do you remember my previous proposal with Sony Entertainment? We can definitely plan for the Spider-Man and Marvel movie. Cooperate. In the comics, Iron Man often plays with Spider-Man."

Chris shrugged off: "It's really not something I can decide."

In the comics, Iron Man plays with Spider-Man. In the movie, isn’t it necessary to let Spider-Man play with Iron Man? This is unfair to Sony Columbia Pictures.

Ronan was only a test, seeing that it was impossible to achieve his goal, so he didn't say anything.

Perhaps time is the best way to solve this problem.

The "Spider-Man" movie trilogy department sold at the box office, and Sony Columbia Pictures is full of information. Naturally, they refused to allow Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment to intervene in this series.

The next stage of Relativity Entertainment's goal is not Sony Columbia Pictures, and it is also necessary to maintain this fairly good relationship.

There are more and more people in the banquet hall. The circle as the center point basically surrounds three people, namely Ronan, the producer Kevin Fitch and the Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. walking on the earth.

Especially Robert Downey Jr., "Iron Man" was a great success, allowing him to win back all his reputation in one fell swoop and become a model for the prodigal son.

His bad things in the past have not become a drag, but have become a foil to success.

A bad thing turns into a good thing, which is just a successful hit movie.

The actors who will be participating in Marvel's follow-up superhero movies tonight, look at Robert Downey Jr., with some envy in their eyes.

In addition, there is confidence in the future.

Robert Downey Jr. has shown them the bright prospect of participating in this series of film projects.

Fortunately, Ruifan Phoenix, after all, is a well-known actor who has seen the world; like Jason Momoa and Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. is their goal.

"Hi, Jesse."

Susan Downey, who has been renamed, is also working hard to expand her social circle. She knows that Robert Downey Jr. will be tied to Relativity Entertainment for a long time in the future, and she will frequently greet the senior executives of Relativity Entertainment alone. She looked at the tall, **** and beautiful Jessica Felton, sighing that the other party chose the wrong career, and softly complimented: "You are so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you." Jessica Felton said openly: "Susan, good evening."

Susan Downey sat across from her and asked, "Come here alone?"

Jessica Felton smiled slightly: "I have always been alone."

"I heard that you have taken over several first-line film projects of Shahai Entertainment?" Susan Downey touched on the topic: "There are too few female producers in the circle with your achievements."

Jessica Felton said: "You are also amazing."

Upon hearing this, Susan Downey's eyes turned to Robert Downey Jr. unconsciously, and said: "It's great, I can't talk about it. I can finally help Downey."

Jessica Felton had heard about the Robert Downey Jr., and responded politely: "You are really enviable."

Susan Downey seems to have become a little woman who is intoxicated in love: "When you meet the right person, you will feel that you will give him wholeheartedly and it is worth doing everything."

Jessica Felton has no experience in this area and can only deal with it: "Yes."

Susan Downey heard the courtesy in the words, and quickly broke away from the mentality of showing off love, and said: "Jesse, I am also involved in the production of a new project, which is more commercial. I am lacking in this aspect. Can I ask you for advice in the future."

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "I can't talk about it, we can discuss with each other."

"Okay." Susan Downey quickly exchanged contact information with Jessica Felton: "I know a lot of female producers in the circle, and they often discuss together. If you have time, you can also participate."

Jessica Felton nodded and responded, "No problem."

She is no longer a purely technical editor, it is only good to know more about the industry dynamics.

Before the two ended their chat, Jessica Felton invited: "Fast and Furious 3 will be released in a few weeks, Susan, welcome to the premiere."

Susan Downey said quickly: "I must be there."

On the other side, Charles Rowan, who made a special trip to represent Warner Bros. and DC Comics, came to Ronan.

Charles Rowan greeted a few words, tentatively asked: "I heard that Marvel Entertainment's "Hulk" is almost finished?"

The crew was still out on the streets of New York some time ago. This information cannot be kept secret. Ronan simply said: "It will soon be transferred to post-production."

Charles Rowan said: "Your Avengers plan is going very fast, Marvel's speed and efficiency are amazing."

Ronan laughed: "Charles, it seems that Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not slow. I heard that you have formulated the Justice League Cinematic Universe plan. Have you started planning the first "Green Lantern"?"

Charles Rowan didn't have to deny it, saying: "Justice League and Avengers are the two major groups of North American superhero comics. The popularity of comics is equal. In terms of movie production, you have inspired us."

Ronan said: "You are welcome. If possible, we can work together in the Justice League and the Avengers in the future."

Charles Rowan smiled more readily: "I hope there is such a day."

Ronan chatted with Charles Rowan again, and went to other places.

He knows a lot of news about Warner Bros. and DC Comics. The Justice League movie universe project is progressing amazingly fast.

I probably think that the first movie has fallen behind, and the management of Warner Bros. is really vigorous and resolute. At the request of Kevin Tesuhara, Charles Rowan and Zach Schneider, who have gradually begun to participate, comprehensively formulate and promote justice. The Alliance Cinematic Universe project has taken shape within three months, and the director candidates for "Green Lantern" have been finalized.

New Zealand director Martin Campbell, who has directed "Zorro's Mask" and just completed "007: Casino Royale" this year, was hired by Warner Bros. and DC Comics to serve as the director of "Green Lantern".

As for the hero of the film, it has not yet been determined.

However, in view of the successful precedent of "Iron Man", Warner Bros. and DC Comics do not plan to invite popular stars, and plan to use the main funds for CG special effects.

Ronan didn't intend to intervene, and there was no room for him to intervene in such matters.

Robert Downey Jr. found him at this moment.

"Hi, Ronan." Robert Downey Jr. greeted Ronan and said, "I want to ask your opinion about something."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Just say it."

Robert Downey Jr. hesitated, and finally said, "About Mel Gibson..."

Ronan raised his hand and interrupted Robert Downey Jr.: "This kind of thing I will not interfere, nor can I interfere. Downey, you are not just entering this circle, you should know better than me, May What a huge group is what El Gibson offends."

"I know." Robert Downey Jr. bit his lower lip. "But Mel helped me, I can't just sit back and watch."

Ronan just said: "Be cautious."

Regarding Mel Gibson, Ronan could not help Robert Downey Jr., not to mention that Mel Gibson offended all the Jewish communities in Hollywood. Relativity Entertainment and Mel Gibson bought out because of the "Passion of the Christ". The matter has always been in opposition.

In late July, a terrible event happened in Hollywood. Mel Gibson was caught drunk, facing the police and the paparazzi, selling Jews in public, and suddenly pushed himself to the forefront.

The current torrent of public criticism almost drowned Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson is involved in the extremely sensitive racial discrimination in North America.
