Chapter 609: Downey, do you want to be a drama tyrant and see whose drama you can steal?

After being reminded by Robert Downey Jr., Zhang Nan finally realized that this guy actually started out in comedy movies.

The debut film "Love Comes Deeply", followed by "Modern Nanny", "Back to School", "The Pick-Up Expert", "Good Johnny", etc. are all comedies.

And if you think about it carefully, Robert Downey Jr.'s performance in the entire "Iron Man" series has vaguely revealed a comedy performance atmosphere, which makes the entire "Iron Man" series more lovable - I guess this is also the reason for "Iron Man". One of the reasons why the "Man" series is more successful than the "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​series.

However, Zhang Nan is not used to Robert Downey Jr.'s somewhat arrogant and contemptuous temper, even though he has invited Robert Downey Jr. to guest star.

Moreover.

After all the guest appearances, what are you still doing?

"But now that Marvel Studios has used you, you will be thrown away!" Zhang Nan clicked on Robert Downey Jr.'s sore spot.

Then Robert Downey Jr.'s face suddenly lost the look of pride and contempt, and was replaced by an expression of bitterness and hatred.

Without it.

Although Marvel Studios and Robert Downey Jr. have not yet made it clear that there will be no more [Iron Man 3] after [Iron Man 4], which means that the [Iron Man] series has specifically ended.

But Robert Downey Jr. can also see this from Marvel Studios’ heavy investment in the [Thor] and [Captain America] series.

"Zhang, is it because I offered too high a salary for Marvel Studios that led to the current situation?" Robert Downey Jr. asked Zhang Nan with some anxiety and regret.

Zhang Nan also understands Robert Downey Jr.'s current situation.

It took a lot of effort to make the "Iron Man" series become one of the top series with a global box office of one billion US dollars through "Iron Man 3", but there was no follow-up.

No matter who you are, your mentality will be affected.

Not to mention that Robert Downey Jr. has only been around for less than five years after all.

My background is still low, and my self-confidence has not yet risen.

I also feel that I have some strength, coupled with some luck and the strong support of Marvel Studios, I have reached this point.

Seeing that Marvel Studios is starting to train others according to the old way of cultivating itself, the sense of crisis will definitely be stronger.

"How much did you pay Marvel for the film?" Zhang Nan asked back, following Robert Downey Jr.'s topic.

"Forty-five million U.S. dollars in fixed salary." Robert Downey Jr. said quickly from question to answer.

"What about box office dividends?" Zhang Nan continued to ask.

Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes twitched when he heard this, and he replied: "There is no box office dividend."

obviously.

Robert Downey Jr. already feels that the fixed salary of 4500 million US dollars is already worthy of his current net worth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it would be inappropriate to ask for box office dividends.

"Is this called high? I didn't even get one-tenth of my fixed salary in [Voldemort 2]! And I also got an extra large percentage of box office dividends and peripheral income sharing."

Robert Downey Jr.: "..." Why did I think of talking to this guy about whether the salary was high? It’s completely self-humiliating!

“Hollywood giants can accept my salary, but how can you get your salary conditions?

What's more, this is just the first bid at the beginning, not the final payment. There will be further negotiations. How can anyone not buy or sell something just because of haggling.

So I think Marvel Studios should have thought about it a long time ago and planned to kick you out after the first phase of the movie universe ends. "Zhang Nan continued.

Robert Downey Jr. listened to the first half of Zhang Nan's words and found it pleasant, but after hearing the conclusion of the second half of Zhang Nan's words, he felt a little bad. "Is it really irreversible?" Robert Downey Jr. said a little unwillingly.

"That's not true, but the point is not to put it on you, but to see how [Thor 2] and [Captain America 2] perform.

The box office trend of [Thor 2] is now almost clear. The global box office is about 3- million US dollars. There is still some gap between the global box office of [Iron Man ], which is billion US dollars. I guess it’s not too big. Can catch your [Iron Man] when he leaves the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If [Captain America 2] performs similarly to [Thor 2], Marvel Studios will probably have to go back and deepen their cooperation with you. "Zhang Nan gave an analysis to Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to continue asking.

But Zhang Nan waved his hand directly, interrupted Robert Downey Jr.'s movements, and said: "Just for this one guest appearance, how many questions have you asked?"

"I can make a few more guest appearances," Robert Downey Jr. said.

Zhang Nan looked like a store bully and said, "I'm sorry, the film is limited in length, and I'm asking you to make a guest appearance, not a starring role.

Of course, if you really want to be a drama tyrant with me, then see whose drama you can steal? "

Finished.

Zhang Nan handed a stack of guest roles to Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey Jr. was eager to consult with Zhang Nan, so he took them over to see if there were any suitable ones for him to steal the scene.

As a result, Robert Downey Jr. glanced at the names on the list and was stunned, and the urgency in his heart was no longer so urgent.

Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas, Roland Emmerich, Christopher Nolan, Luc Besson…

They are all well-known directors or top directors.

There is no role for any of the characters here that is easy for an artist like him to grab.

After all, the difference between directors and artists can basically be said to be that the relationship between hunters and the hunted natural enemies is almost the same. They are completely different ecologies.

Especially for top directors, the deterrent effect they have on actors is basically like a natural enemy at the top hunter level, which is completely impossible to fight against.

It was also through this guest list that Robert Downey Jr. understood how profound Zhang Nan's background was over the years, and why Zhang Nan was able to compete with several Hollywood giants and finally win.

Don’t say anything else.

With this list of great directors alone, if any Hollywood giant dares to make Zhang Nan anxious, Zhang Nan has the ability to directly defect so many great directors to another Hollywood giant.

Don't think that Hollywood giants all have the same mind. That's impossible.

The Soviet Union was so steely, hard-core and attractive that even the elites in London and Cambridge could not withstand it. Five outstanding figures were represented, but there were many traitors during the period.

In the world of capital and the Hollywood Vanity Fair where money is paramount, it is even more impossible.

This is another reason why Hollywood giants have been wary of Zhang Nan and exercised restraint over the years.

Not only because of Zhang Nan's personal strength, but also because Zhang Nan's connections are really wide and deep.

If Zhang Nan is really pushed into a hurry, there may be a situation where the snipe and the clam will compete with each other to get the advantage.
