Chapter 590: The entrance is soft and the throat is very good [Iron Man 3]

"Actually, I wasn't too optimistic about the [Chef] project, but I thought about Jon Favreau's relationship with you, so I didn't say anything about it at the beginning." Zhang Nan responded nonchalantly.

Robert Downey Jr. broke his guard.

Because he was still optimistic about these two projects, although there were more or less reasons for them, but they were all rejected by Zhang Nan.

However, for the project "Judge Daddy", Robert Downey Jr. could not find a reason to refute Zhang Nan for the time being, but for the "Chef" project, Robert Downey Jr. quickly found a reason.

"Zhang, I can understand why you are not optimistic about the [Judge Daddy] project. The director has a criminal record!

But why are you not optimistic about this project [Chef]?

Jon Favreau worked with me on [Iron Man 1.2], which grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office. Robert Downey Jr. said unconvinced.

“Sometimes, I don’t really need to read the script to see if the project is good or not. I just need to know the director and the movie title, and combine it with the latest trends.

Otherwise, you would think that in all the movies I have starred in and guest-starred in over the years, I have never crashed once. It is all just luck! "

Zhang Nan responded unceremoniously to Robert Downey Jr., and then continued to look for reasons: "If you really want an accurate and reasonable answer, I have it here too.

The success of [Iron Man 1.2] can basically be seen. Jon Favreau is filming some dudes who suddenly wake up, and it is more appropriate to wait for the character image and plot.

But "Chef", if you listen to the name, it is completely opposite to the style of "Iron Man". If you shoot in a field that you are not good at, your success rate will inevitably decrease.

Of course.

I’m not saying that Jon Favreau is irrational. After all, he wants to take the path of directing and starring in this film. With his level of tonnage, it is really difficult for him to make it high-end, so..."

Zhang Nan didn't finish the final conclusion, but the general meaning was expressed clearly.

Robert Downey Jr. was persuaded, opened his mouth, and wanted to be tough, but was held down by Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan continued: "I am telling you this not because I heard you talk about the tight schedule, so I want to persuade you to give up the film contract and make time for me to make a cameo. I am not so gloomy.

It's just from the perspective of a friend, I don't want to see you go astray.

The most important thing is, I want to remind you, now that you have realized that Marvel Studios has begun to abandon you.

Then you should be even more cautious in your subsequent pick-up choices.

Otherwise, if your projects outside of Marvel movies continue to fail at the box office, do you think your situation in Marvel Studios will get better or worse? "

With a rhetorical question, Robert Downey Jr. fell completely silent.

Because it goes without saying that the answer is that it must be worse.

After all, if he continues to fail at the box office in projects other than Marvel movies, it will directly prove that he relies on Marvel Studios to get ahead, and he will be nothing without Marvel Studios.

Marvel Studios naturally grasped this point and took good care of him.

"I..." Robert Downey Jr. wanted to say something again.

But Zhang Nan continued to interrupt his words.

"This is the premiere of [Iron Man 3]. That's enough for today. I'm just discussing some possible situations with you. You still have to make your own decision on how to operate it. We'll talk about it when we have time. "

Finished.

Zhang Nan directly shook off Robert Downey Jr. and walked to his position. Robert Downey Jr. was left alone, standing there full of complicated emotions, a little messy.

……

The premiere of [Iron Man 3] ended up being a great success.

Especially in the movie-watching session, because [Iron Man 3] added more and more conspicuous kung fu move elements to its action design.

The movie-watching experience of "Iron Man 3" is completely different from the previous two films "Iron Man 1.2", giving it a completely new feel.

To briefly summarize, the action scenes in [Iron Man 1.2] basically rely on the concepts of 'flashlights', 'laser cutting machines', automatic aiming machine guns, extremely powerful small missiles... and other sci-fi high-tech equipment. , to achieve intense visual effects.

It's cool, but it doesn't have enough stamina.

But this "Iron Man 3" has added action elements of close combat, giving the visual special effects of the entire film an effect similar to that of a liquor advertisement - soft entrance, thin throat, and very high.

For example, in one of the scenes, Robert Downey Jr. was kidnapped by gangsters into a house. He first relied on the flying armor's hands to fire an electric cannon to release himself from illegal detention, and then relied on the flying armor's legs. Department, a 360-degree rotation out of thin air, combined with the pull of the ring lens.

The visual chicness is directly maximized.

And this is not over yet, what is even more exciting is the final showdown between Robert Downey Jr. and the villain 'Explosive Man'.

First, he summoned the armor, but then it hit the guardrail next to him, and the hollow armor shattered to pieces. The scene was a bit awkward and comic.

As a result, Robert Downey Jr. leaned over and struck the villain in the face with his sword finger. The armor on the ground was like a flying sword that obeyed the command in Xianxia novels. It was quickly buckled on the villain's body to form a battle armor, restricting the villain's movements.

In the end, Robert Downey Jr. turned around and moved away coolly, and at the same time a self-destruct command was issued, perfectly replicating the classic scene of a wave of honest Hollywood movies - turning around and leaving without watching the explosion.

There are many similar shots in [Iron Man 3].

It can only be said that [Iron Man 3], as the final work of the [Iron Man] series trilogy, is of excellent quality.

The good quality, coupled with the perfect ending of [Avengers 1] after the end of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has gathered huge popularity.

And this [Iron Man 3] is the first shot in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel Studios has spent a lot of effort to support it.

and so……

On May 5, "Iron Man 3" opened in 4253 theaters. On its first day of release, the single-day box office in North America reached US$3 million.

This result accounted for 16190% of the box office in the North American movie market that day, and the average box office per theater was US$. Rounding it off, it was a single theater result of US$, which is terrifying.

There is no doubt that.

"The Great Gatsby", which was released first by Leonardo DiCaprio, was directly affected by strong interference, and the box office fell by nearly 70% in a single day.

This is the first week’s box office!

The single-day box office for the three-day period during the first weekend dropped by nearly 70%.

This makes the box office trend of "The Great Gatsby" appear to be significantly different from the greatness in the name.
