After Lehman left, Kevin immediately asked the casting director Fleet to pass the primary selection conditions he gave to the major agencies for an internal selection round.

This time the auditions are all supporting roles. The biggest names are the villain boss Malekis and a doctor of astronomy from Earth. The rest do not need to waste time trying out.

After ordering these, Kevin made a few more calls and called the agents of the main creators of Thor...

After Chris Hemsworth became popular, his management team is now following the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. The phone keeps calling, and his whereabouts are all over Europe and the United States. After Kevin’s phone call, a group of people are still recording programs in Australia. He hurriedly took the night shift back to Los Angeles.

In first class.

"Chris, Marvel said that it will shoot your sequel first this year, and it should be released in April or May. If it is released for the crew, it will basically be full in the first half of this year. "

The agent said cheerfully.

"Have you sent a script?" Chris has been rolling for the past two months. Although tired, he knows that it will be of great benefit to his career.

"Not yet, it is estimated that you can only get it after signing a play contract." The agent is a little indifferent: "If the foundation is there, they will definitely praise you, and under the supervision of Lehman and Kevin, the project will fail."

The agent is very confident. This is also because commercial films have routines to follow. As long as you don’t get sick, similar hot sequels are difficult to pull through.

"It's not a box office problem. I'm just worried that my role will be further compressed." It is also in front of his own people that Chris does not hide his psychology, "I feel that Tom is more popular than me, and the big name is not easy to provoke. Yes, I heard that she pressured Marvel a few days ago, saying that she didn't want to play again." Chris rubbed his brows, "Can we pressure? Before joining the group."

To be honest, after "Thor" and "Reunion", Loki's popularity has indeed risen more rapidly. It may be that everyone loves "bad kids". As a person who was treated differently by Odin and thus blackened, he was hinted by mysterious people. , The character is arrogant, and the biggest villain of Marvel who is often beaten in the face, Tom Hiddleston has really attracted a lot of fans.

As for the "she", it is naturally Natalie Portman. In Thor, she matched Chris, who is still a Hollywood rookie. During the promotion period, she also cooperated with the hype. The result was far less than her contribution. In addition to the Olympic film "Black Swan" at the end of last year, which received high praise from film critics and audiences, she is even more unbalanced as a first-line actress.

As a result, after Marvel notified in advance that the sequel to Thor might be launched, she directly announced through her agent that she would no longer play "Jane" and let Marvel replace her. She was willing to pay the signing fee.

"Don't think so." The agent was obviously anxious, and quickly broke away the crushed persuasion. "The brotherhood between Rocky and you is obviously helpful to your image. Moreover, side pressure is a small matter, but you Have you ever wondered whether the attitude of Marvel’s top executives will change? Look, the Avengers will definitely go on filming. Your scene arrangement is still a big deal. If it annoys them, it might be even more marginalized." People comforted: "I'm also helping you find new notebooks recently, and pick some notebooks that can win prizes..."

The agent actually understands Natalie’s mentality, but he doesn’t think Chris can be compared to Natalie, who became famous early. It’s not good to say that in Marvel’s eyes, you are someone holding it out, and Natalie Li is the one who was drawn to the heat.

Of course, in order to stabilize Natalie Portman, or to say that the arrangement of her role is too shallow, which led to the rapid shift of attention after the first part of "Thor" was released, film critics are also criticizing Jane for being too much. Flat, no room to play-this is also the main reason for Kevin to add drama to the heroine in the second part.

After all, the drama between the male and female protagonists is too unbalanced, which is definitely not a good thing, especially the two are still on the screen CP. If they can't keep up, they don't have a strong sense of existence, and it is a failure from the perspective of character creation... ..

The agent then guided, "Don't worry, your salary will definitely rise a lot in the second part. In this regard, I will help you keep an eye on it."

Chris was in a moment of emotion, was persuaded by good words for a long time, and soon let go. He smiled and said, "Oh, how much?"

"The second part of Downey can get tens of millions of shares, we definitely can't be bad." The agent encouraged: "We first proposed to take the box office share, Marvel will definitely not give it, but we made them so much money. ...Don't worry, the basic salary will have to be doubled several times, I can guarantee it."

"Don't overdo it," Chris reminded.

Those who are not part of the role must be able to continue acting.

"We have conditions to mention." The agent affirmed.

They are all long-term contracts, and when they reach the top, they will not be exaggerated compared to the previous life of Downey. Moreover, they are willing to promote and manage their image with good actors. Marvel is happy to see the extension of this process.Anyway, after Downey had a long restraint, the salary space he saved by himself was enough for Marvel to operate well.

The flight has arrived.

Chris shook his head, forgetting the uncomfortable opinions he saw in the newspaper.

At the exit of the airport, the all-pervasive paparazzi, even with the support of fans who were notified in advance, waited outside.

The girls yelled his name frantically, or the name in the play.

Chris tidyed up his exquisite suit and appearance, fiddled with his hairstyle, and looked up and down for no problem before taking a big step under the escort of the economic team.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Crazy fans rushed up and were quickly stopped by the crew security.

"Look here, Chris, can you ask a question briefly?"

"What do you think of the news about the upcoming filming of "Thor 2" released by Marvel? Is there anything you can reveal?"

"What do you think of Natalie Portman who publicly stated that she did not want to play Jane Foster?"

"Just yesterday, our people saw Natalie's agent personally go to the Marvel Building. Do you have anything to say?"

"According to the person concerned, your relationship with Natalie on the crew is not good, what do you think of the source of this news?"

"Slander, complete slander." Chris didn't want to talk to these people, but had to declare: "My relationship with Miss Natalie is very good."

There is a play!The paparazzi continued to roar, "But during the screening of "Reunion", she never said anything? Didn't she have a very good relationship with you, did not say a word of congratulations.

"Does this kind of private remarks need to be said publicly?" As an actor, Chris's basic image public relations control is all ears and eyes. "Don't try to sow discord."

after a few days.

The headline of the media was that the original team joined "Thor 2", which excited a lot of fans...
