Donnie lazily crossed Erlang's legs, but no one was dissatisfied with his frivolous behavior.

"Oh, you also know that The Avengers achieved a very high box office, and Marvel was so happy about it that they immediately launched plans for a second part after the movie rolled off the production line. ”

"Really, so 'The Avengers' is going to shoot its second installment, oh my gosh, that's really exciting news. ”

With Allen's control of the scene, a lot of whistles suddenly sounded below.

"Yes, but at the moment we are all waiting for someone, and as soon as he comes back, the script will be in place. ”

Downey's sentence made Allen very curious, as we all know, screenwriters are actually not high status in the United States, which is completely different from the treatment of screenwriters in South Korea.

And well-known screenwriters in the United States, few focus on writing stories about only one genre.

The film company provides the idea, the outline, and then the screenwriter invited from the outside to improve it, during which the company or the director has the right to veto the script and replace the person is a normal thing.

But in South Korea, the status of well-known screenwriters has led to the fact that even TV stations and directors cannot interfere in screenwriting.

"He, who is he?"

"He's a good friend of mine, and as you know, I've been through a low point in the past, and people think it was my wife who helped me get out of it.

However, I would like to correct here that if my wife helped me kick my addiction, then this is the opportunity for me to play "Iron Man". ”

With Donnie's narration, a lot of photos were released at the scene, with Downey working out and Lee Hyun-cheol remembering something in the notebook next to him.

The photo is accompanied by the text below, March 3, 2008, the last day of rehabilitation and fitness.

There were two people sitting together, writing something with their heads buried in their pens, and next to them, there were comics published by Marvel.

The photo is accompanied by the text below, March 9, 2008, the writing process of the script of "Iron Man".

(In reality, "Iron Man" was filmed from March to June 2007, and the release time was May 08.)

In the book, the filming time was changed to April to July 08, and in reality, the second part was released for 10 years. ）

And on the set, Robert Downey Jr. was wearing Iron Man armor, carrying a motion captor and a teenager wearing a hat to communicate with the director.

After that, more and more familiar scenes appeared on the big screen, "Iron Man 2", "Iron Man 3", "Avengers 1" various set tidbits, or private group photos.

Donnie looked at the photo with an inexplicable look on his face, as did Lee Hyun-chul, who is also in South Korea.

"For me and for Marvel, Lee is an indispensable existence, because of him, I played Iron Man and have the current me. ”

"According to what you said, is this Lee just your friend or does he have some other identity?"

Allen looked at the smiling young man in the photo, and his interest in Lee Hyun-cheol became more and more intense.

"In '08, when I was still the much-despised Donnie, he approached me, and for the next until 12 years, my agent was my wife, but in reality, my business was taken care of by Lee.

From the time we co-wrote the script for "Iron Man" to find Marvel, to the later founding of Downey Studios, and then to several later movies, we couldn't do without Lee's help, so it can also be said that Lee is my agent. ”

Robert Downey Jr.'s agent, this profession is actually not very powerful, everyone only pays attention to Robert Downey Jr., and will not pay attention to the team behind him.

But now, Lee Hyun-chul's identity and the relationship between the two people have been mentioned by Downey, coupled with the influence of "The Ellen Show".

"Not only that, Lee is also a business genius, my wife has always praised his talent, and when the "Iron Man" movie was just launched in '08, in fact, Marvel's top management was very unconfident about whether the movie would succeed or not.

At this time, Lee talked to them and said that if the box office of "Iron Man" reaches 500 million, then I will continue to cooperate with them and reduce my salary, on the condition that Marvel needs to give us five percent of the shares. ”

Robert Downey Jr.'s words left everyone in a long state of distraction.

When Li Xianzhe saw this paragraph, he calmly replied in the face of the reporters' scrambling questions.

"Everyone saw the box office success of the "Iron Man" series today, but in fact, as early as 1990, Universal had already bought the adaptation rights of "Iron Man".

However, in the next 15 years, the copyright of "Iron Man" kept going back and forth between Universal, Fox, and New Line, and none of them were included in the official launch project.

Until 2005, the copyright of "Iron Man" returned to Marvel, but during this period, more than 30 screenwriters refused to handle it, resulting in the movie not having a complete script until the start of filming.

(The sentence at the end of the movie, I am Iron Man, it was Robert Downey Jr.'s own whim, until the end of filming, "Iron Man" only has part of the dialogue, and it all depends on the actors to play on the spot)

It wasn't until '08 that Downey and I got the script, and Downey conquered the Marvel top management in the audition, and then David Messer, the top operator of Marvel at the time, jointly borrowed $140 million from the bank as the start-up capital for "Iron Man".

At that time, I could be considered a poor egg.

And Downey's salary was only $500,000 at the time, and my script salary was only $10,000, and it was with this that I made a bet with Downey and Marvel.

No one would have thought that this movie, which was not favored by anyone in the United States at the time, eventually reached a box office of $585 million, successfully pulling Marvel back from the abyss.

At that time, Marvel was in debt and could only survive by selling comic book rights.

Later, the results were unexpected, and after the box office dividends of the first part arrived, Downey also got two percent of the shares I fought for him.

Immediately afterwards, Marvel couldn't wait to sign a script contract for "Iron Man 2" with us, an actor contract, and the remuneration was Marvel's initiative to increase the price by two percent of the shares, and $8 million (in reality, Downey's second film was paid $10 million.) ）。 ”

Alan listened to Donnie's memories on the show, and the word he kept muttering the most was "crazy".

She was frightened by Lee Hyun-cheol's boldness, Marvel's black history is known to any American public, and the media reported that in order to shoot "Iron Man" at that time, Marvel can be said to be bankrupt, plus there are too many foreign debts.

The success of "Iron Man" seems to have made Marvel start to get complacent, and after realizing that the superhero movie was a big hit, these people set their sights on another popular character, Hulk.

However, Downey told Allen that when Marvel approached Lee Hyun Chul and wanted him to write the script for "Hulk", Lee refused without thinking about it, asserting that this independent film could not be compared with "Iron Man" at all.

The two sides quarreled over this, and finally broke up unhappily, and a year later, "Hulk" hit the street as Lee Hyun-cheol said.
