Chapter 680 The script pressed under the clothes
The production cost of "Avengers 2" is 250 million US dollars, and it is not excluded that some funds will be added to the post-production reshoot or special effects production.
$2 million, this salary can only be in the lower reaches of the Avengers actors, and it is similar to Mark Rufano who plays Hulk and Scarlett Black Widow.
But....
The 20% box office dividend seems like a lot, but Lee Hyun-cheol knows that his own partnership with Marvel, as well as the entanglement of interests between Downey Studios and Marvel......
Together, as long as the producer recovers the cost, which is equivalent to a global box office of more than 600 million to 800 million, Lee Hyun-cheol can get $20 million in dividends.
This is the minimum guarantee, the higher the global box office, the more dividends Lee Hyun-cheol will get.
"You guessed it, I had an idea for the script for the Avengers movie two years ago, and during my two years of military service, I had already conceived it completely. ”
Realizing that Kevin had made up his mind to push himself into this vortex, Lee Hyun Chul exhaled heavily, met his gaze seriously, and a mysterious smile flashed on his face.
"Really, can you tell me how many of your ideas you have?"
Kevin looked at him in some surprise, he was too familiar with Li Xianzhe's expression, even the slightest skin squirming, he could judge it.
"I came to the U.S. this time and brought with me a script about the third part, which I was going to fight for more for myself on the boardroom, but now it seems that ...... It's not necessary. ”
Lee Hyun-cheol's luggage was in the living room, but it was naturally impossible for Donnie and Susan to touch it.
After opening the combination lock, Lee Hyun-cheol took out a thick notebook from under the clothes in his bag and handed it to Kevin.
"We have been preparing for so many years, and the third part will bring the plot into a high dynasty stage, and after Ultron, it should be Thanos who will appear......"
Infinity War, based on the work of the same name in the Marvel comics, is only an unprecedented collection of superheroes involved in the comics compared to the movies.
Considering that it will be difficult to implement in reality, Lee Hyun-chul just referred to Marvel's filming plan and put the heroes of the two organizations "Avengers" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" together.
Kevin looked at the logo on the cover and wanted to open it for the first time, but he couldn't help it.
Just like the previous reactions of Downey and Hemsworth, the first draft script of "Infinity War" by Lee Hyun-cheol is three times thicker than that of "Age of Ultron".
Kevin can't wait to hug Lee Hyun-cheol and kiss him at the moment, it's amazing!
"Damn, Lee, do you know how important this thing is? You just put it in your bag. ”
Kevin still remembers that when the actors of the crew got the script of the first part, they still took it out of the safe, and only the screenwriter, the director and himself had seen it before.
"This is just the first draft, and I'll tell you about the idea of confidentiality, don't worry, the script is gone, and I can write a new one. ”
Li Xianzhe pointed to his head and whispered slowly, "This kind of IP is not the only one, the infinite war is just the end of the first stage." Perhaps, there will be a fourth part...... Part 5 ......"
Kevin looked at him blankly, and suddenly laughed, he liked Lee Hyun Chul's confident appearance, only Li Hyun Zhe in this state would always surprise the people around him.
"Lee, I've decided, after the filming of "Ultron Era", all the work in Korea will be taken care of by your company, right?"
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Li Xianzhe was stunned for a moment, the other party's decision was completely beyond his expectations, so that he couldn't agree to it for a while.
After the integration, Imperial Entertainment has its own theater chain, and although these theater distributions are mainly from Loen and other cooperative agencies, Lee believes that once authorized by Marvel, Imperial Entertainment's status in the film industry will completely change.
What kind of attitude will the Korean film industry, which was previously hostile and squeezing out its own company, have?
This question has been haunting his heart, and it is precisely because he doesn't want to lose that he hesitates at this moment.
Marvel's movies are a piece of cake that is enough to make giant film companies tempted.
Lee Hyun-cheol believes that everyone may not feel much when they know that he is the screenwriter of Marvel before, but when it is released in the future, he will return to China with Marvel's authorization, and the expressions of those people in the film industry who are entertaining themselves behind closed doors will be so wonderful.
"Of course, the Asian market has always been a delicious piece of cake for Hollywood filmmakers.
I know you're very unhappy with the money trapping that people are doing by not respecting that market, but this is Hollywood, and if you want to make rules, you have to show results. ”
The position of screenwriter is not high in Hollywood, and it is not low to say low.
However, it has always been suppressed by both the film company and the producer, and HK Films is still lonely, and it still adopts this system of imitating Hollywood.
Throughout the North American film industry, there are countless examples of rising to the level of producer or investor as an actor, participating in box office dividends, rewriting scripts, or eventually becoming a director.
Compared with them, Kevin's words are tantamount to reminding Lee Hyun-cheol that Hollywood must make good use of its advantages and not waste it in vain.
Marvel is not so much invincible in the world as it is only dominating the superhero universe.
Although there are many superheroes and villains with Asian faces in the original "Marvel Comics", due to many factors, Marvel has never let Asian faces play positive roles and protagonists in the movie.
There are too many factors behind this, but in the final analysis, it is the arrogance of Americans that makes many people reluctant to take the initiative to make changes.
Kevin made up his mind to make Iron Fist appear in the movie, catering to the use of Asian actors suggested by North American netizens before, which is already a rare breakthrough in Lee Hyun-chul's opinion.
It is precisely because of this insistent attitude and the most direct interest offensive that Li Xianzhe's eyes have softened a lot, "So, Iron Fist is suitable for launch in such an environment?"
Kevin patted Lee Hyun-cheol on the shoulder and pouted, Lee turned his head to look at Susan in the living room waving at the two.
"Gollum...."
Touching his stomach as he began to protest against himself, he came to the living room, where the two of them ate a simple breakfast prepared by Susan, and Kevin seriously suspected that he had excreted all of those things in the toilet many times last night.
"In the previous live-action dramas, we have received too many complaints from netizens in North America.
Blonde Caucasians digest Eastern culture, which is ridiculous in the eyes of many people, and I believe that such a mistake would not have happened if the board had bowed its head at that time. ”
Struggling to slip on a shirt that Downey had thrown over, Kevin rubbed his red nose.
"Don't worry, Lee, many Hollywood filmmakers are trying to make changes for the sake of the Asian market.
Implanting oriental culture, or filming in oriental cities, launching well-known Asian actors, but compared to them, if we want to win the hearts of audiences in Asia. You have to make bigger changes than they do.
