My girlfriend is an idol

Chapter 272 Robert Downey Jr. and Lee

Downey tilted Erlang's legs lazily, but no one was dissatisfied with his frivolous behavior.

"Oh, you also know that "The Avengers" achieved a very high box office. Marvel was very happy about it. For this reason, after the film went offline, they immediately launched the second plan."

"Really? So, "The Avengers" is going to be filmed for the second part, oh my goodness, this is really breaking news."

As Allen took control of the scene, a lot of whistles suddenly sounded below.

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

Downey’s words made Allen very curious. As we all know, screenwriters are actually not high in the United States, which is completely in contrast to South Korea’s treatment of screenwriters.

And few well-known screenwriters in the United States focus on writing stories about one subject.

The film company provides ideas and outlines, and then the screenwriter invited from outside to improve it. During this period, the company or the director has the right to veto the script, and it is normal for the company to re-substitute.

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

"He? Who is he?"

"He is a good friend of mine. Everyone knows that I have experienced a low ebb in the past. Others think that my wife helped me out of the predicament.

But here I want to correct it. If my wife helped me quit drug addiction, then this one is the opportunity for me to play "Iron Man"."

Following Downey’s narration, many photos were released at the scene. Downey was working out and Li Xianzhe was remembering something in the notebook next to him.

There is a text below the photo, March 3, 2008, the last day of rehabilitation.

There were two people sitting together, burying their heads in their pens and writing something, and next to them were full of comics published by Marvel.

With text below the photo, on March 9, 2008, the writing process of the "Iron Man" script.

(In reality, "Iron Man" was filmed from March to June 2007, and the release time was 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 movie was released in 10 years.)

Also on the set, Robert Downey Jr. was wearing Iron Man armor, wearing a motion capture device, and a teenager in a hat communicating with the director.

In the future, more and more familiar scenes appeared on the big screen, "Iron Man 2," "Iron Man 3," and "Avengers 1" various set of scenes, or private photos.

Downey looked at the photo with an inexplicable look on his face, as did Lee Hyun-cheol in Korea.

"For me, for Marvel, Li is an indispensable existence, because of him, I played the role of Iron Man, and now I am."

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

Alan looked at the smiling young boy in the photo, and became more interested in Li Xianzhe.

"In 2008, when I was scorned by Downey, he approached me, and from then on to 12 years, on the surface my agent was my wife, but in fact, my career Li helped me take care of it.

From our cooperation in writing the script of "Iron Man" to Marvel, to the establishment of Downey Studios, and to the subsequent films, we cannot do without Li's help. Therefore, we can also say that Li is mine. broker."

Robert Downey Jr's agent, this profession is actually not that great. Everyone only pays attention to Robert Downey Jr., not the team behind him.

But now, the identity of Li Xianzhe and the relationship between two people have been mentioned by Downey, plus the influence of "Allen Show".

"Not only that, but Li is also a business genius. My wife has always praised his talent. When the "Iron Man" movie was just launched in 2008, in fact, Marvel's senior executives were very unsure whether the movie was successful. Confidence.

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

The words of Robert Downey Jr. plunged everyone into a long absence.

When Li Xianzhe over there saw this passage, he calmly answered the reporters' questions.

"Everyone saw the "Iron Man" series selling at the box office today, but in fact, as early as 1990, Universal bought the rights to the "Iron Man" adaptation.

However, in the next 15 years, the copyright of "Iron Man" kept going back and forth between Universal, Fox, and New Line, and none of them were officially launched.

Until 2005, the copyright of "Iron Man" returned to Marvel, but during this period, more than 30 screenwriters refused to handle it. As a result, the film did not have a complete script until the filming started.

(The sentence at the end of the movie, I am Iron Man. It was Robert Downey Jr.'s own whim. Until the end of the filming, "Iron Man" had only partial dialogue, and it was all performed by the actors on the spot)

Until 2008, Downey and I held the script. Downey conquered the top Marvel executives in the audition. After that, I and David Messer, Marvel's top operator at the time, jointly loaned 140 million US dollars to the bank. , As the starting capital of "Iron Man".

At that time I could be regarded as a pauper.

And Downey’s remuneration was only 500,000 US dollars at the time, and my script remuneration was only 10,000 US dollars. With this, Downey and I made a bet with Marvel.

No one would have imagined that this movie, which was not viewed by anyone in the United States at the time, eventually reached a box office of 585 million US dollars, successfully pulling Marvel back from the abyss.

At that time, Marvel was heavily in debt and could only be maintained by selling comic copyrights.

Later, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. After the first box office dividend was paid, Downey also got the 2% of the shares I bought for him.

Immediately afterwards, Marvel could not wait to sign the script contract for "Iron Man 2" with us. The actor contract and the remuneration were Marvel's initiative to increase the share price by 2%, and 8 million US dollars (in reality, Downey was second The film pays 10 million U.S. dollars.)."

Allen listened to Downey's memories on the show, and the most muttered vocabulary in his mouth was "lunatic".

She was frightened by Li Xianzhe's boldness. Marvel's black history is known to any American public. It was reported by the media that Marvel was bankrupted for the filming of "Iron Man," and coupled with too much foreign debt.

The success of "Iron Man" seemed to make Marvel feel proud. After realizing that superhero movies were selling, these people turned their eyes to another popular character-Hulk Hulk.

However, Downey told Allen that when Marvel approached Li Xianzhe to hope that he would write the script for "Hulk", Li Xianzhe refused without even thinking about it, asserting that this independent film could not be compared with "Iron Man". .

The two parties quarreled a lot about this, and finally broke up. As a result, a year later, "Hulk" hit the street as Li Xianzhe said.
