Chapter 575 Robert Downey Jr.: I feel like there is no more [Iron Man 4]

[Iron Man 3] crew.

In front of the camera, Zhang Nan is still wearing a black trench coat and a one-eyed pirate look, but the scene is in an office, there are no exterior scenes, and there are very few scenes, just a phone call.

The purpose is also very simple, to capitalize on Zhang Nan's popularity, but also to control production costs.

So after the premiere of [The Hobbit 1], after a night's rest, Zhang Nan, who rushed over early the next morning, finished filming the scenes in the morning, and most of the time he was on Put on makeup.

However, after filming the scene, Zhang Nan planned to leave immediately, but was stopped by Robert Downey Jr.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Nan would definitely have ignored her. The most important thing was to go home and accompany his two female seafood market bosses to prepare for childbirth.

how...

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, what's wrong with your leg?" Zhang Nan looked at Robert Downey Jr.'s bandaged right leg and asked curiously.

Robert Downey Jr. smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "You know that Iron Man's armor is very heavy. I didn't pay attention and got bruised.

Fortunately, most of the scenes have been filmed, otherwise it will probably delay a lot of shooting time. But don’t talk about my legs. Today I looked at the box office data. The first day box office of [The Hobbit 1] in North America was 3712.5 million US dollars. It looks like it will be a big hit. "

Listening to Robert Downey Jr.'s abrupt change of topic, Zhang Nan glanced at him angrily and said: "Otherwise, how do you think I got my guest-star salary starting at $15 million per minute? I was a guest-star. The film, so far, has not failed at the box office.”

Robert Downey Jr. nodded slightly when he heard this, then clasped his uninjured fingers and counted: "That's right, [006], [Avengers 1], [Batman 3], [007: Skyfall], If "The Hobbit" succeeds again, and you play your farewell in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the box office will definitely be high. This year you have directly participated in five movies with a box office of over one billion US dollars. A movie that grossed over $1 billion at the box office."

It's hard to be criticized, but if what you are criticized for is your own glorious event, it feels no worse than being flattered.

Not to mention that the person who complained about these incidents was a popular Hollywood star.

But Zhang Nan is very clear-headed and knows that there must be something wrong with Robert Downey Jr.'s behavior that changes from the norm.

"What's going on? Just tell me if you have anything to do. I'll definitely help you if I can." Zhang Nan said generously. After all, it's only 2012, and before the end of the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, Robert Downey Jr. It has at least ten years of peak time left and is worth investing in.

Robert Downey Jr. was silent for a moment and answered the question: "Marvel Studios gave me two options for the [Iron Man 3] project. One is a fixed salary of 3200 million US dollars and % of the global The box office dividends include a fixed salary of million U.S. dollars and a % global box office dividend, and I chose the latter."

After hearing what Robert Downey Jr. said, Zhang Nan subconsciously began to calculate the actual value of the two choices in his mind.

It’s also very easy to calculate, because the global box office of [Iron Man 3] is 12 billion US dollars.

So the first one is 5600 million US dollars, and the second one is 5000 million US dollars.

Choosing the second option would appear to be a loss of 600 million US dollars on paper, but it would actually and securely receive a salary of 3200 million US dollars, and with this kind of salary that exceeds the standard of the million-dollar salary club, it is still possible. It's not a big disadvantage to be able to mention my own status.

"Isn't this great? Your salary from [Iron Man 3] is all over my head." Zhang Nan joked.

Robert Downey Jr. wanted to hit someone after hearing this.

You just shoot for a whole morning, less than a minute of footage, and you get 1500 million US dollars plus % of the global box office and peripheral income.

I worked really hard for several months and got injured before I got this price.

But after thinking about it, Robert Downey Jr. became calm again. Because it's pretty good so far. In the previous two "Iron Man" films, Zhang Nan made a little appearance and earned more than him.

There has been progress.

"Your single-film salary now exceeds 40 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely stable. If you work hard, you can expect to earn 50 million U.S. dollars." Seeing that Robert Downey Jr. remained silent, Zhang Nan continued.

Robert Downey Jr. nodded when he heard this. He also knew this. As long as the global box office of "Iron Man 3" exceeds million, the income from the salary plan he chose can reach million US dollars.

The global box office of "Iron Man 1" has reached 5.85 million, and the global box office of "Iron Man 2" has further reached 6.41 million.

Now the final film of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe [Avengers 1] has performed perfectly, taking in a global box office of 15.2 billion US dollars.

Robert Downey Jr. feels that it is quite possible for "Iron Man 3" to have a global box office of US$- million.

"I know this too, but..."

Robert Downey Jr. paused and then said sadly: "I find that Marvel Studios seems to be trying to suppress me."

"Ok?"

Zhang Nan was a little surprised that Robert Downey Jr. actually reacted now, pretending to be stunned and said: "No way! You are the core of Marvel Studios' movie universe plan."

"I think so too, but the current operation of Marvel Studios..."

Robert Downey Jr. also felt that this kind of thing was a bit outrageous, "Let me tell you one thing, I acted the plot of [Iron Man 3] from beginning to end, and it gave me a feeling, that is...it seems that there will not be [ Iron Man 4].”

You feel it right.

There is indeed no more [Iron Man 4].

After "Iron Man 3", Marvel Studios in the original time and space adjusted Robert Downey Jr. from the main position to the helper position to support the next main force.

The initial candidate chosen by Marvel Studios as the main successor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe should be Captain America.

Some clues about this can be seen from the plot in [Captain America 3].

Robert Downey Jr., the Iron Man in it, is completely a failed buffoon to set off the existence of Captain America.

But Captain America didn't catch this training.

As a result, Marvel Studios had no choice but to compromise with Sony Columbia Pictures and put the core of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan on the hugely popular Spider-Man.

But after being reminded of the [Captain America] project, Robert Downey Jr. must have understood the twists and turns and felt the determination of Marvel Studios, so he took advantage of the situation and made the price increasingly terrifying.
