Chapter 460: A Rival Far Away in the United States
After so many years, even if he decides to cooperate with them again, Lee Hyun-cheol no longer trusts some people in Marvel.
Not only because of the presence of some racists made him feel deeply uncomfortable, but also because of the weakness of his own abilities, which made him know that he could not hang himself from a tree.
Fortunately, with the relationship between Hollywood studios and his own judgment, he has gained a lot of contacts in North America.
seems to be a flashpoint, and the media in North America have picked up the relationship between Lee Hyun-cheol and Marvel and Downey and other actors in a short period of time.
People are more accustomed to calling him "Donnie's most affectionate companion".
Since then, he has been receiving cooperation from Hollywood companies and famous people in his mailbox.
Some people sent him the idea of a script, hoping that he could write a script, and Lee Hyun-chul knew that these companies generally adopted a wide net policy, and the manuscript fee of Hollywood screenwriters was actually not much, and the status was low, and it was too far behind South Korea.
Some also value his on-set experience in the past many years and invite him to participate in some film works, but he is either a villain or a supporting role with few scenes.
For such an invitation, he laughed it off, and naturally did not look at it in his eyes.
Of course, it is not incomprehensible that many top stars are not in the stream until they appear in some works that rewrite their own fate.
Looking at the experiences of many movie stars, they run around on certain sets, and one person has a contract for several films of his own.
For example, the actor Chris Hemsworth, in order to get the role of "Saul", gave up his contract for five or six films at the time.
The reason for the low remuneration of many Hollywood artists is largely due to this, and directors also like to find people who are not well-known, but have rich qualifications.
Then after the movie was released and became a hit, the actor was eligible to go to the producer's company to negotiate the salary, instead of offering tens of millions at the beginning.
Continuously ticked and deleted these irrelevant "dating and cooperation" emails, and Lee Hyun-cheol didn't even have the energy to reply.
Of course, it would be much more convenient if he played titter or Facebook.
"Huh, Jeff Jones, So, Marvel's resurgence has made this old rival uncomfortable? It's a pity that Warner played a bad hand three times and twice. ”
Reading this email carefully, Li Xianzhe slowly retracted the smile on his face, he had intersected with this person when he was in the United States before, and what made him value was that this was originally a Marvel employee, and later switched to DC.
More than half of DC's works in recent years are from this person, so after Lee Hyun-chul's identity was exposed, many media in the United States began to compare him with Jeff Jones.
"If Kevin had seen this, he would have stopped it, but... After all, it is impossible for Hollywood to be a monopoly, let alone companies that specialize in shooting superhero movies, such as Warner, Sony, Fox, Lionsgate, etc., all of which hold the rights to some heroes. ”
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Li Xianzhe raised his hands and began to reply.
"Dear Jeff Jones, the sun is still warm in Los Angeles, isn't it? First of all, let me say I'm sorry for not replying to your letter until now.
As your friend, I congratulate you on your promotion to the president of DC Pictures, and you have finally waited for the opportunity to shine after leaving Marvel.
I vaguely remember a charity gala three years ago, we had a conversation about the future of Marvel and DC, and I know that Jeff, you are very unhappy with the behavior of individual companies to meddle in affairs.
I remembered that you once asked me to start a new company, and I turned it down because I didn't think the two of us could do it alone.
Now it seems that it was the right decision, and we are all sitting in the position we want to be and starting to achieve our ambitions.
I'm glad that after you took office, you unreservedly informed me of your current predicament, and the following are my views and plans for DC to get out of it, and of course I am looking forward to the cooperation between us in the future, or the cooperation between Marvel and DC. - Your good friend, Lee. ”
In Lee Hyun-chul's memory, Jeff Jones was originally appointed by Warner executives from the original DC screenwriter and filmmaker to chief executive in 16 years.
Regarding the changes in DC's previous presidents, Rao is Li Xianzhe has paid attention to it, and he can't remember how many people have been replaced in the past few years.
It's like every president in the United States leaves office with a mess for his successor to deal with. It is also because of Warner's frequent intervention that DC was in an unstable state for a while.
Coupled with the Hollywood screenwriters' strike in the middle, the restart of the "Batman" and "Superman" plans, and various conflicts between Warner's senior management and directors and screenwriters in the middle, the frequent replacement of people made it until 2013, that is, last year, that the filming project of this movie was established.
However, in the eyes of Lee Hyun-cheol, DC has been delayed for too long, so serious that it has been thrown off the streets by Marvel.
Just thinking about the recent past, Jeff Jones has more memories than he had later in his mind, and taking office a few years earlier, made Lee Hyun Chul take a long breath, he knows this person's ability, as long as Warner is no longer stupid to interfere too much, it is only a matter of time before DC rises.
In addition, DC's works have always been dark, and audiences who are used to watching Marvel movies may not necessarily adapt to their style, and if they want to rise, they must work the quality of the movie.
,,, wait, if you really want to talk about it, there are still a lot of good works in DC Comics, and many characters are the products of the two families who are in friendly competition while giving back and paying tribute to each other.
Re-examining the email, Lee Hyun-chul elaborated in the content that the idea of launching the "DC Extended Universe" was based on the Marvel Universe.
Originally, this idea would have been proposed in October of this year, and Jeff Jones's email also imitated the "Marvel Universe" a little bit, creating a universe worldview that belongs to DC.
However, as early as three years ago, after meeting Jeff Jones for the first time, Lee Hyun-cheol brought it up in person, although it was only a vague concept at the time, but it also made himself remembered by the other party.
"It seems that I didn't sign a contract directly with Marvel, and the decision to be restricted by them was correct, people really can't hang themselves from a big tree. ”
The er key sent the email, and Li Xianzhe breathed a sigh of relief and closed the computer directly.
In the bathroom, Yu Dingyan listened to the occasional keyboard tapping sound outside, his little face was still red under the impact of hot water, holding his mobile phone and taking selfies in various postures to himself, holding a bunch of bubble girls on his lips in his palms, his eyes shaking brightly and not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's really comfortable..."
It wasn't until she lay down that she realized that the bathtub was with a massage function, and the hot air that kept blowing from the ground hit her body, making Yu Dingyan hum a few times as comfortably as a cat.
After turning off the computer, Li Xianzhe stretched his waist, and the joints on his body made a "crackling" sound, glanced at the time on his phone, got up and walked to the bathroom door, knocking on the door slightly.
"Dingyan~ Have you washed it?" I want to chat with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about my favorite books."
