My girlfriend is an idol

Because of the media premiere level and the unblocking of several rating networks in North America, it has more or less affected the enthusiasm of many viewers to watch the movie in the cinema.

If the script could be more refined at the beginning, conservativeness will also hit the $1.5 billion box office mark.

However, this record was also broken by "Avengers 1."

As for the highest record call for a single superhero, the box office in North America set by "Iron Man 3" was broken by the first black superhero movie "Black Panther" many years later.

"Wow, an increase of 100 million dollars in investment from the previous one."

Li Xianzhe raised his eyebrows, this number indeed exceeded his expectations.

He is well aware of the stingy attributes of these Hollywood film businessmen, and how high expectations and confidence in a new sequel of the IP series are, which will be proved by subsequent capital investment.

In his impression, Marvel’s highest investment is also in "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4", which are $316 million and $356 million, respectively.

But according to North American media statistics, if the actors' pay is added, the overall investment has exceeded 500 million.

This should be the most expensive movie in the history of world cinema.

Even Cameron, who is known as the "money-burning machine," the production cost of his "Avatar", which ranks first in the global box office box office, is only more than 200 million US dollars.

"After all, because of your return, they are very confident in your script."

Before seeing the finalized script of "Iron Man 4", the Marvel board of directors directly approved the production plan of the film under the auspices of Kevin Fitch.

The initial production cost was US$200 million, which is equal to the third installment.

But after reading the final script of the fourth part, Marvel added nearly 100 million in investment.

Qiu Suojing stood by and listened all the time, occasionally pouring tea for the two of them.

With her half-hearted English proficiency, she only understood it.

It was strange that there were too many sophisticated and complicated vocabulary to him, but the part about money quickly understood.

With 300 million U.S. dollars, the girl couldn't think of whether the money would fill this area if it was replaced with cash and placed in front of her.

"This is the best way. With Marvel as our strong backing, we can show our skills.

I believe that with our efforts, "Iron Man 4" is the best new beginning of this series."

Li Xianzhe smiled heartily and raised the tea cup in his hand.

During his time in the United States, under his influence, Downey fell in love with Huaxia's tea, and even when he was filming on the crew, he must have a drink during the break.

Compared to drinking parties that make people make mistakes and even drink up the body, the health regimen in tea is more important to him when he is on the verge of 50.

But Downey heard the other meanings in this passage, and was a little surprised, "Li, what do you mean, is there still a fifth part?"

"The fifth part? It depends on the wishes of many people.

It seems that some movies can be shot continuously for several years, from the first to the seventh, the eighth, Marvel superhero movies can also be taken.

But the premise is whether the actor is willing or not. As long as Downey is willing, I can move more stories that everyone is looking forward to into the movie."

Having said that, Li Xianzhe leaned in and said in a low voice, "For example, the very famous big event in the comics "Civil War 2", of course, this requires the addition of Captain Marvel.

I think Marvel must also be very interested in the idea of ​​making the first female superhero movie, as well as "secret invasion" and so on, depending on whether you can reach a consensus."

Guru...

Indeed, as he said.

Those big events in Marvel comics, there are too many wonderful things that can be made into movies.

You can even let Downey take photos from the day of the role to the ground.

But on the other hand, the drama blows that superheroes bring to actors are also fatal.

There are very few people who can get out of the aura of superheroes, but in addition to "Iron Man", Downey's other movies are also very successful.

Therefore, Li Xianzhe is not worried at all. It depends entirely on whether Marvel can give a satisfactory price.

Because, Downey’s salary in "Avengers 3" is already a person beyond the sum of other actors.

"Oh... this... sounds really... exciting news."

Downey felt a little dry and licked his lips with a sip of tea.

"If I can see the script of "Iron Man 5", I will be acting at the age of 60."

"This kind of thing is impossible to say, but what is certain is that Marvel is absolutely reluctant to give up this profitable IP.

But also after the future contract expires, if Marvel wants to keep you, you have to offer Downey at a satisfactory price, which really makes me feel a headache."

In short, Li Xianzhe knew that Downey's pay would top the list of Hollywood actor pay, replacing Johnny Depp.

According to his current worth and influence, he might become the first actor in Hollywood history to earn a single-person film over 100 million U.S. dollars.

"Wow..." Downey called out in surprise.

"Relax, although I like US dollars, as an actor, nothing can make people happier than encountering an excellent script. I believe you will be able to write "Iron Man 5", that is, let me drop the pay to star in It's nothing."

"No, no, no, we still have to fight for the money we should fight for. We are not in 2008 now."

Li Xianzhe said in a sighing tone, "From 2008 to this year, Downey's salary has doubled 100 times in six years. Tell me how cool it is."

"I think so too." The two looked at each other and smiled, raising their tea cups and touching them.

"Hey...you two stop talking."

At this moment, Scarlett Johansson, dressed in leather, came over, and his beautiful eyes swept Li Xianzhe's body.

"The ingredients have been visited together according to Li's request, Li... should you prepare it?"

"Is it so fast?" Li Xianzhe was taken aback, and immediately got up and twisted his neck.

"It seems it's time for me to show my skills, is Kevin here?"

"No, he just called and said that he has a very important memory and he will arrive a little later."

Scarlett shook her phone, "Do we still need to wait for him?"

"Why not? He is Marvel's boss. Strictly speaking, we people all depend on his wink."

Putting his hands on Scarlett's shoulders, Li Xianzhe turned her around and pushed her forward.

"Wait, I know Kevin, although he said on the phone that this meeting is important.

But tonight is a special day, so he will end the meeting as soon as possible shortly after hanging up the phone. "
