Chapter 621 Sign the contract, Iron Man

Or North America.

But Zhang Nan came to Malibu, California.

Without it.

Previously, at the premiere of [Voldemort 2], Zhang Nan asked Robert Downey Jr. to find a good place to chat slowly. Then the good place Robert Downey Jr. found was his home, and his home is here.

"This is the mansion you spent tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate? It doesn't even look like it! This windmill is even more outdated than the ones in the Netherlands in the last century!" Zhang Nan looked at a country-style house There was a large wooden windmill hanging outside the villa, and Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but sigh.

"Did you get a kickback from the designer?" Zhang Nan sighed and asked again.

no way.

Robert Downey Jr.'s villa is said to have cost $80 million.

The last time this figure was closest to Zhang Nan's, it represented the $2 million extra in salary that the old president of Warner Pictures earned for his work on "Voldemort ".

Of course.

In fact, although Robert Downey Jr.'s current box office appeal is not as high as it was in "Avengers 3.4", it is not as low as this.

It's just that these two films are indeed a bit inconsistent with Robert Downey Jr.'s personal acting style.

Robert Downey Jr.’s $80 million was really well spent.

This villa looks a bit outdated and shabby from the outside, but it is very warm inside, and many modern appliances are also designed appropriately, which is particularly harmonious with the overall country-style decoration.

"..."

In Zhang Nan's words, he was actually a little polite about the box office of the two movies "Chef" and "Judge Daddy", and only used words like box office to describe them.

The two movies can be said to have directly exposed Robert Downey Jr.'s real box office appeal at this stage after breaking away from the blessing of Marvel Studios' characters.

Your current situation is actually not bad. Regardless of whether it's a supporting role in "Chef" to repay a favor or "Judge Daddy" to have a relationship with Warner Pictures, there are still movie contracts to star in.

It would be fine if the joke was a little off, but it would be boring to dwell on it any longer, so Zhang Nan followed Robert Downey Jr. and walked towards the villa.

Zhang Nan sat on the guest sofa, drank a glass of water, and said directly without mincing words: "I won't talk about useless nonsense and go directly to the topic.

Half of them belong to the old president of Warner.

In fact, the box office of the former is only over 30 million US dollars, and the box office of the latter is only over 80 million US dollars.

have to say.

Robert Downey Jr. was speechless for a while and explained: "I just like this style and I haven't been fooled."

When these two movies come out at the box office, if their performance is mediocre, and if Marvel Studios continues to successfully implement its movie universe plan and raises your Iron Man's reputation higher and higher, then you will face a completely There is no more filming situation. "

"It's not like I have no film appointments! When I was at rock bottom before, I was still able to get some small film appointments." Robert Downey Jr. didn't quite believe Zhang Nan's judgment. After all, it was too belittling to him.

"It's true that you hit rock bottom at that time, but prices also dropped to rock bottom, but your acting skills were still online. Those who want to play low-cost games will naturally come to you. But now, although you are famous, you can't The pay is also high, but if your box office appeal is a bit weak, big productions won't hire you, and small productions can't hire you, so how can you get a film contract?" Zhang Nan explained.

This is actually Robert Downey Jr.’s current situation from 3 to 2014 after the end of [Iron Man 2019]. He doesn't have any other film commitments, just a cameo as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Of course.

It’s not that Robert Downey Jr. had a bad time during these five-plus years.

In fact, the current "Captain America 2" has not yet been released, which completely exposes the status of Marvel Studios' Iron Man replacing Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so Robert Downey Jr. Time is a bit panicky.

If we had to wait until March 2014, the global box office of "Captain America 3" would not be as expected.

Robert Downey Jr.'s situation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will suddenly become clearer, and he can start to raise his price.

In fact, Robert Downey Jr. did exactly that in the original time and space.

A guest supporting role, constantly receiving 50 million, 80 million, or hundreds of millions of dollars in salary, it's very satisfying, isn't it?

Robert Downey Jr., on the other hand, carefully considered the situation described by Zhang Nan and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Looking at Robert Downey Jr.'s reaction, Zhang Nan knew that his words had an effect, so he continued: "The only way to change your situation is to create another starring series that proves your box office appeal. piece."

"Get a starring series to prove your box office appeal?"

Robert Downey Jr. smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Nan and said: "Zhang, not everyone can be like you, starring in a movie and then creating a series. I am very clear about my abilities. I can have an [Iron Man] ] series, we are already very lucky.”

Zhang Nan was very satisfied to see Robert Downey Jr. knowing his worth so much.

He is afraid of cooperating with those arrogant people.

Because when working with such people, it is easy for them to lose track of the situation and play the piano randomly.

"It would be too difficult for you to create a starring series out of thin air that can prove your box office appeal. Even if you ask me to do it in person, it would be a bit tricky, but if you don't do it out of thin air, it will be much simpler." Zhang Nan said in a mysterious way. said.

Robert Downey Jr. was confused and said, "Zhang, I didn't quite understand."

"I briefly analyzed your acting style and found that you are actually suitable for playing some uninhibited characters, bad on the outside but good on the inside, and proud images. However, this image does not feel very pleasing to people, so I want to reverse this state. We need to add some outstanding abilities to this image." Zhang Nan changed the subject.

Robert Downey Jr. understood this time and said: "Isn't this Iron Man Tony Stark, but now Marvel Studios has ended the [Iron Man] series."

"But who said that only Iron Man can have such a character?" Zhang Nan asked.

Robert Downey Jr. felt a little hazy after hearing Zhang Nan's words, "So..."

"So if you want to continue listening, we have to sign a contract." Zhang Nan handed out a contract.

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned, but he couldn't help but accepted the contract.

The content of the contract is very simple, which is to let Robert Downey Jr. divide the remuneration of the rest of his career into a contract and exclusively authorize sales to Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television Fund.

"Zhang, all my salary-sharing contracts over the years have been sold through the Longbow Film and Television Fund. This is completely unnecessary." Robert Downey Jr. said.
