Chapter 557 [Avengers 1] Premiere

North America.

4 month 11 day.

The atmosphere at the [Avengers 1] premiere was very lively, comparable to some series that have grossed over one billion US dollars at the global box office.

After all, the box office performance of the movies [Iron Man 1.2], [The Incredible Hulk], [Thor], and [Captain America] has been mixed.

Even the best box office of the "Iron Man" series is only a few hundred million US dollars.

But there is a way to gather armpits to form a coat, and to gather sand to form a tower.

Under the influence of many superhero movies, Marvel Studios' movie universe plan actually already has a large fan base.

The total box office revenue of these superhero movies is more than one billion US dollars.

Of course, the fan base of this kind of integration of multiple movies has not yet been proven, so for a while, people from Marvel Studios and all the superhero actors were a little guilty and panicked.

Especially other superhero actors besides Robert Downey Jr.

Because they know very well that if this [Avengers 1] hits the market, Robert Downey Jr. will definitely be fine.

After all, the third part of the "Iron Man" series must be made. A series with a global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars may not seem as powerful as a top series with a box office of over a billion dollars, but it is already quite affordable.

But sequels to their other superhero movies are probably more difficult to make.

Fortunately, after Zhang Nan's figure appeared on the red carpet, many people's anxious hearts calmed down a lot.

Without it.

Not to mention that since his debut, he has not starred in or guest-starred in any movie. The name of the box office mascot is really not just a boast.

[The Hunger Games], which is still in theaters, is currently proving this point.

At this time, "The Hunger Games" has been in its fourth week, but the single-day box office is still stable at a few million dollars. The cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 300 million US dollars, heading towards 400 million US dollars.

Although the box office of movie theaters around the world is not as good as that of North America. After all, the audience of the novel "The Hunger Games" is basically here in North America, it has already accumulated more than 200 million US dollars in box office.

In other words, the current global box office of "The Hunger Games" has reached nearly 600 million US dollars.

You must know that Zhang Nan only made a cameo appearance for less than a minute in "The Hunger Games", but in the final film of "Avengers 1", Zhang Nan has ten minutes of space.

In terms of fixed salary alone, Zhang Nan directly took away US$1.5 million from Marvel Studios.

and so……

No one at Marvel Studios thought about converting the effect based on the length of Zhang Nan's cameo, so that "Avengers 1" could exceed the box office of "The Hunger Games" by ten times. They only thought that it could have double the box office, more than a billion US dollars. If the box office is high, they will be satisfied.

Zhang Nan was aware of the emotions of Marvel Studios and others, but he didn't care too much. At this time, he was walking side by side with Jay Chou on the red carpet, and at the same time chatting with Jay Chou about some of his work matters. .

"I don't know much about the new album. You can take your time and do it yourself. But this is how I arranged it for you in terms of film and television arrangements. Your acting skills are still too stretched and you need to practice more, so I'm over there in the mainland. , I got you a tutoring spot in a music variety show, let’s practice first.” Zhang Nan said slowly.

Jay Chou, who was walking on the red carpet, almost didn't cross his left leg with his right leg when he heard Zhang Nan's words. It wasn't that he had any objection to Zhang Nan saying that his acting skills were poor, but he was full of doubts about Zhang Nan's suggestion. , "Director Zhang, are you practicing your acting skills in a music variety show? How about these two not being next to each other at all?"

"Other music variety shows and acting skills are definitely not close to each other, but the model of this music variety show is different and takes acting skills into consideration." Zhang Nan immediately became anxious when he heard Zhou Jiegun's words.

He was fooled for a long time by the tangled expressions and intoxicated looks of the instructors behind the swivel chairs before turning around.

In the end, I discovered that this group of people basically acted like this in every wave, and I finally understood the twists and turns inside.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Faced with Zhang Nan's serious description, Zhou Jiegun could only doubtfully believe that music variety shows can practice acting skills.

"Then after the music variety show is completed, Marvel Studios will probably make some other moves. I will try my best to get you an important role in a Marvel TV series." Zhang Nan continued to arrange for Jay Chou.

Zhang Nan did not arrange this randomly, because after the box office success of "Avengers 1", Marvel Studios began to lay the groundwork for the second phase of the movie universe, and it was also planning for both movies and TV series. of. As soon as Zhou Jiegun heard Zhang Nan's words, he nodded excitedly.

Because he also knows that there are many movie superstars in Hollywood who all started from TV series.

A few words of time.

The red carpet is over.

When Zhang Nan entered the screening hall with Zhou Jiegun, all the Marvel superheroes immediately stood up and looked at Zhang Nan when they saw Zhang Nan stepping in.

Zhang Nan knew what these people were nervous about.

But it was difficult for Zhang Nan to say words of affirmation.

After all, Marvel Studios has not signed a box office betting agreement with him, so naturally Zhang Nan will not do this work of inspiring people, boosting morale, and creating news in vain.

"You don't have to be so polite. Sit down. Sit down." Zhang Nan pressed his hands down and politely followed the Marvel superheroes.

The Marvel superheroes also obeyed Zhang Nan's instructions and sat down again.

For a while.

At this time, Zhang Nan looks more like the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. than in the movie.

……

When Zhang Nan sat down in his seat, Robert Downey Jr. came over, making Zhang Nan a little confused.

After all, this guy has the [Iron Man] series with him. Even if [Avengers 1] fails, it will not have much impact on him.

Robert Downey Jr. naturally saw the inquiry in Zhang Nan's eyes, and immediately stated his purpose of coming.

"Marvel has been talking to me about [Iron Man 3]. I'm a little... undecided. And you said you have [Voldemort 2] to be filmed this year. I'm also worried about schedule conflicts. I think Asking for your opinion.”

Zhang Nan glanced at Robert Downey Jr., recalled the works shot in his original time and space in 2012, and found that there was only one "Iron Man 3".

Will shooting two movies in twelve months of a year cause schedule conflicts?

This is a bit nonsense.

But Zhang Nan also knew that Robert Downey Jr. just wanted to test his attitude, so Zhang Nan thought about it and decided to give Robert Downey Jr. some pointers.

After all, the popularity of this product is really high in the next ten years. If you get more favors now, the profits will be doubled in the future.

Don’t say anything else.

If you get him to make a cameo in a movie, you can at least save tens of millions of dollars in promotional expenses.

"Marvel Pictures is talking to you about [Iron Man 3] at this time, with some operations to stabilize the company's stock price in case [Avengers 1] fails at the box office. If you talk to them now, the remuneration package may be It won’t change much from [Iron Man 2].

But if you delay it until [Avengers 1] is a box office hit, then you will naturally be able to make higher demands as the tide goes up.

Of course.

If [Avengers 1] fails at the box office, you probably won’t be able to keep your salary in [Iron Man 2].

How you choose depends on whether you want to have a hard time or just play it safe. "
