Chapter 786 Robert Downey Jr.: I feel like I have become the fried rice seller
"Oh, thanks!"

On the big screen, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. played by Zhang Nan, a giant, watched his body begin to disappear as half of his life was chosen by Thanos when he snapped his fingers, he couldn't help but cursed lightly, Then he took out a contact device and pressed it.

In the end, only a fallen communicator remains in the shot.

The movie ends.

Then there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.

Not all of the applause was just polite and perfunctory, there were also many who really thought the movie was good.

After all, compared to "Avengers 2", which was still about teaming up to fight bad guys, "Avengers 3", which was directed by the Russo brothers, has broken through the narrative style of "Avengers " to team up to fight bad guys. level.

And because of the movie plot, many of the superhero characters created in the past ten years have temporarily received box lunches.

The occurrence of this situation also caused great fluctuations in the fan base.

After all, in a movie of excellent quality, a brilliant supporting role can touch the emotions of many movie fans, not to mention the wave of "Avengers 3" that made Spider-Man, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Wasp, etc. Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Bucky, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Star-Lord, Groot... and other superheroes all received box lunches.

You must know that these people don't have much role in [Avengers 3], they are just supporting roles.

But many of them have their own series as the protagonist, and the cumulative box office volume is measured in billions of dollars.

So under such circumstances, [Avengers 3]’s box office exploded.

The box office on the first day in North America was 1.06 million U.S. dollars, and the box office on the first day in Mainland China was 4.4 million yuan plus zero-hour screenings. The United Kingdom, France, Brazil...

In short, after only one day of release, the global cumulative box office of "Avengers 3" has reached nearly million US dollars.

Such a turbulent momentum cannot be stopped by a box office of more than one billion US dollars. Maybe [Avengers 3] will hit the global box office threshold of two billion US dollars.

then……

Marvel Studios has made up its mind to completely kick Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man out of the movie universe plan in "Avengers 4".

……

In North America, in a high-end coffee shop.

In fact, the high-end coffee shop style in North America is the same as the private teahouses everywhere in remote corners of the mainland.

It's all a money laundering scheme.

The price of coffee is expensive, the service attitude is not good, and there are not many customers all year round, but if you look at the daily turnover account, it is much exaggerated.

However, this kind of existence is also convenient for people who need a private meeting place.

For example, right now, Zhang Nan has an appointment with Robert Downey Jr.

"Marvel Studios has told me that they plan to completely end the Iron Man role in the next Avengers 4." Zhang Nan stated the situation to Robert Downey Jr.

After hearing what Zhang Nan said, Robert Downey Jr. was a little depressed at first, but he quickly adjusted.

Because in the past few years, he had already expected this result.

"So my $100 million salary is safe?" Robert Downey Jr. asked teasingly to Zhang Nan after adjusting his mood.

Because he previously packaged his film contract in "Avengers 4" to Zhang Nan at a price of million US dollars, and got the money in advance.

"Well! I asked you to come here today to tell you about this matter." Zhang Nan replied calmly.

Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but said, "What about that? Zhang, can I ask what kind of salary you asked me for in [Avengers 4]?" "I think this matter, It's quite irritating to you, so it's better if you don't know about it," Zhang Nan said while hiding it.

But after hearing Zhang Nan's words, Robert Downey Jr. became even more curious.

"Zhang, I have already received 4 million US dollars and become a billionaire. What else is exciting? Just tell me, otherwise the reporter will ask me about my salary in [Avengers ] , I don’t even know how to answer." Robert Downey Jr. asked for a reason after hearing this.

Zhang Nan looked at Robert Downey Jr., who was deliberately looking for a blow, and could only say: "Actually, it's not much. It's just a regular fixed salary of 20 million US dollars, plus 10% of the global box office dividend."

When he heard Zhang Nan talking about a fixed salary of 20 million US dollars, Robert Downey Jr. could still hold on. But when he heard Zhang Nan's words of 10% global box office dividend, Robert Downey Jr.'s brain started to race. It's working.

Ten percent of the box office share, that is, 10 million dividends for a 100 million box office, and 100 million dividends for a 1 billion box office.

Among the films in the "Avengers" series so far, the lowest box office is "Avengers 2" with a box office of 14.02 billion US dollars, and looking at this situation, "Avengers 3" will not be lower than "Avengers" at the box office. Alliance 2].

Then [Avengers 4], which is fully prepared, will have a global box office of no less than one billion US dollars.

Therefore, a conservative estimate is that this 10% box office dividend is equivalent to 100 million US dollars. Zhang Nan directly earned his fixed salary of 20 million US dollars.

Fortunately, it's not much, just 20 million US dollars...that's all.

Relieved to the end, Robert Downey Jr. felt his heart tremble a little.

Twenty million U.S. dollars isn’t much, it’s already a lot, okay?
Zhang Nan, who was sitting on one side, saw that Robert Downey Jr. became silent after he told the result, and then began to vibrate at a low frequency, and he knew that this guy's heart was being violently impacted.

So Zhang Nan quickly said: "Actually, this 10% box office dividend is not only your salary, but also my character's salary."

After hearing Zhang Nan's words, Robert Downey Jr. felt better and asked: "So... of the ten percent, what percent is your role remuneration?"

"Two percent!" Zhang Nan gave an answer after thinking about Robert Downey Jr.'s eight percent box office share in "Avengers 4".

And ten percent minus two percent is eight percent.

Sometimes people are like this and are particularly sensitive to numbers.

The difference between nine and ten yuan is only a dime, but it feels like there is a difference of ten yuan.

And between 8% and 10%, the feeling is even worse.

So Robert Downey Jr. became much more emotionally stable after hearing this.

And seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s mood stabilized, Zhang Nan, who would not have any contact with Marvel Studios for a while, continued: "Marvel Studios will start filming [Avengers 4] soon. , so Donnie is ready to join the group.”

"Okay, no problem, but Zhang, why did you join the team?" After taking the money, Robert Downey Jr. could only accept the status quo. After nodding in agreement, he asked about Zhang Nan's situation.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan replied directly: "I won't join the group."

"Clam?"

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned and said, "Didn't you get a 2% box office bonus? Don't you want to join the team to film?"

"But I don't get a fixed salary!" Zhang Nan excused himself.

Robert Downey Jr.: "..."

So - your 2% box office dividend, or is it free for me?
For a while.

Robert Downey Jr. felt like a stall selling fried rice, but a customer came and bought him a hundred portions of fried rice for ten dollars a portion, and then resold it to another customer for fifteen dollars. The passers-by looked like hard workers.
