My girlfriend is an idol
Chapter 688 Return to Marvel (2)
Easterners make money and save it, and then use a small part of it as living expenses, while Westerners take wages and spend it multiple times.
With the identity of Li Xianzhe and his occasional set of oriental life concepts, he has gradually been accepted by many people.
"Lee...will give us three times the salary this time?"
At least in the crew, in the Marvel headquarters, some people also saw the considerable dollar choice given by Li Xianzhe to stay.
Especially these married men, some may prefer that attractive banknotes than their wives and children at home.
After a long time, I heard from Li Xianzhe's mouth about working overtime, a group of American uncles felt very kind.
At least in the eyes of many people, the American commuting and working hours system is too mechanized. Suddenly putting the oriental work model on them, naturally, they are favored by some "workaholics".
"It may be twice, or it may be three times, the difference is that three times may you not eat delicious Chinese food." Li Xianzhe smiled wittily.
"No! I choose twice, as long as I can eat Chinese food made by Li..." Chris Hemsworth seems to have some recollection of the Chinese food that he ate at Downey's house last night.
Obviously, you can see Chinese restaurants anywhere in the United States, but the difference is that most Chinese restaurants are owned by Americans.
Many Americans have complained about this on the Internet. If you want to eat pure Chinese food, you need to drive to a designated place, and most Americans feel that they are very busy without the energy, of course...professional Except for food.
Li Xianzhe smiled, slightly pressed the remote control in his hand, and suddenly something new appeared on the big screen behind him.
"These are PPTs that I made when I was in Korea and took the time. Now I will introduce you to the future plans and the plot of some movies..."
In this meeting, Li Xianzhe used a lot of technical terms to introduce the two Marvel titles that he wrote about "Captain America: Civil War" and "Thor 3: Ragnarok" in the first place. The outline of the plot.
Since then, at the meeting, Li Xianzhe announced that he would serve as the screenwriter of these films. Such a scene was filmed by the photographers inside Marvel.
For many people, the return of Li Xianzhe marks the recurrence of the previous collaboration between him and Kevin.
"Qua Chi Chi Chi..."
There was enthusiastic applause in the room. In Marvel, everyone had long believed in Li Xianzhe's script.
They think that there is no such person in Hollywood who can guarantee the quality of every superhero movie script.
"Kevin... I think you have to pay me one month's salary first, so I can invite you all to have a good meal."
Taking the work card that he had thrown away for more than two years from a staff member, Li Xianzhe turned around and hugged Kevin Fitch.
"Of course, now you use this face to go to the finance department. I believe the female staff there will be very happy to write you a check."
Afterwards, with the departure of several actors from Downey and Chris Hyams, the meeting entered the second stage, which can also be said to be a meeting between Li Xianzhe and the internal senior management.
In the second phase of the meeting, Li Xianzhe talked about his ideas mainly around two things.
One is "Marvel takes back the copyright of Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four", but "there are new developments in the timeline of "Avengers 3" and the Marvel Universe."
An Junying twitched her mouth while listening to the content of the meeting. For the first time in her life, she felt how proud of mastering a foreign language.
The two little princesses listened to An Junying's translation in a low voice, and it seemed that besides admiration and surprise, there were no other words to describe the current expression.
There is really a big difference between the way Lee Hyun-cheol sees his daily office work at Empire Entertainment in South Korea and the current meetings between Marvel and the top.
And listening to Li Xianzhe speaking in English without a trace of Korean pronunciation, the two little princesses felt like they were watching an American blockbuster live.
"We must always guard against DC overtaking us. Jeff Jones is a vigilant opponent. Marvel has the Avengers, but don't forget, DC also has the Justice League.
Kevin, since I knew Jeff took office, I have a strong hunch that in the not-too-distant future, DC may plan to make a movie version of "Justice League.""
Li Xianzhe made no secret of his concerns, nor was he worried that his praise of DC would make Kevin and these directors angry.
In fact, the relationship between the two companies is pretty good, and it can be regarded as a rare benign and fair competition. There are countless examples of high-level executives of the two companies praising each other's movies in public.
"Justice League is also a good IP, but I don't know if DC is determined to shoot, will Warner interfere with it..."
Kevin heaved a sigh of relief. He himself was very optimistic about Jeff Jones's ability, but unfortunately everyone had their own ambitions. This former Marvel employee unexpectedly jumped to his opponent.
"Warner will definitely interfere."
Li Xianzhe shook his fist and answered on the table. This firm attitude surprised Kevin very much, as if Li Xianzhe could foresee the future.
"Warner is different from Disney. Although Disney acquired Marvel, it still focuses on the production of animated films. From 2009 to the present, we have seen that Disney has intervened in Marvel's filmmaking work?
No, on the contrary, they are just paying special attention to the copyright acquisitions of superheroes who are wandering outside. As for Warner..."
Speaking of this theory of status and influence, Li Xianzhe's eyes flashed with a strong disdain. In his eyes, Warner is only slightly stronger than MGM. The internal stupid people are too much. many.
"Warner produces a variety of movies every year, and it is difficult to focus on one family, and it is hard to get a pocket like DC, and of course the top executives are eager to make money.
It's a pity that those people think that their own set of concepts can be enforced on superhero movies. In addition, the darker style of DC Comics has not been accepted by movie fans."
Many of the failures of DC's past and future films are attributed to Warner's strong intervention, from "Batman" to "Superman" to "Justice League"...
It is not uncommon for screenwriters, directors, and Warner executives to have unpleasant things happening frequently, and DC movies often change their release dates, and frequent ticket bounces have become the daily laughing stock of the outside world.
Ben Affleck, who was originally best suited to play "Batman", and Henry Cavill of Superman, both chose to leave the contract because of Warner's bouncing.
Until "Justice League" was a blockbuster that seemed to be eligible to fight with Marvel's "Avengers", but eventually hit the street, DC did not really make a decent movie.
Almost ten years have passed since Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy. What DC is doing during this period has always been something Li Xianzhe is very interested in.
