After the seven "superheroes" sat down, Donnie held up his mobile phone and posted a photo of tonight's dinner and everyone to his social account, accompanied by the words he said earlier, and then turned the phone to silent and threw it aside.

At this party, Lee Hyun-cheol guided the group of girls to communicate with their friends as much as possible, ensuring that even if they were filming, they would not be reduced to a set throughout the whole process.

It is precisely because of his envy of Lee Hyun-cheol's relationship with this group of Hollywood superstars that Downey simply asked everyone three questions at random, they can do anything, and this move directly heated up the atmosphere.

"Li~ I have to say sorry to you, if it weren't for the damn group of directors in the company, you would have been wearing this dress two years ago. ”

After drinking too much, Kevin sat down in a drunken tone, put his arm around Lee Hyun-cheol's shoulders and said.

"Kevin, that's all in the past, what's more, the annoying person has left, I don't care why should you care. ”

The seemingly incompatible conversation between the two made many people a little confused in their eyes.

Could it be that Lee Hyun-cheol missed an opportunity to play a "superhero"? Looking at the fragmented thoughts of these two people, Zheng Caiyan plucked up the courage to look at Donnie, who was already familiar with these superstars at this time.

"Excuse me, has he had the opportunity to appear before?"

Zheng Caiyan asked herself if her English was not good, and the meaning she expressed was also vague, probably because she saw the thoughts of these girls, Donnie pinched the raw chili pepper and ate it in his mouth, and the strong spicy taste made him sober up a lot.

"You've guessed right, in fact, two years ago, before Lee went to the army, there was a fierce quarrel with Marvel's top executives.

Because of the global box office of "Iron Man 3", "Thor" and "Captain America", the proportion of the Asian box office even exceeds that of the North American box office, so that some people have the idea of shooting a superhero film for Asian audiences. ”

Zheng Caiyan was inexplicably nervous when she heard this, because she knew that the superhero Iron Fist was actually Lee Hyun-chul's favorite.

Every time the two talk about Marvel movies in private, there is always a trace of pity in Lee Hyun-chul's eyes.

After looking through the original comics, they chose Tekken as a superhero, and Lee's suggestion was to find a well-known actor in Asia to play the role, in which case he would write the script for Tekken himself.

But those people rejected his offer, arguing that a superhero movie with an all-Asian face would not be popular in North America. ”

Hollywood is the most racist region in the world, where white people are at the top, especially those with American citizenship and who are born and raised here.

The second bracket is foreign whites, such as British whites, French whites, and so on.

The third level is black, and then there are Asian actors.

Asians here are still half American, and then the bottom are Asian actors who were born and raised in the United States.

Over the years, many Asian filmmakers have tried to break this barrier by rushing into Hollywood, but only a few have succeeded, and they have relied on a single action theme rather than acting to conquer them.

At that time, Li asked them loudly, on the one hand, you value the box office in Asia, and on the other hand, you don't want to use Asian actors.

Lee believed that the top management at that time simply wanted to treat the Asian audience as a money bag, and thus refused to be the screenwriter of "Iron Fist".

Even if the Marvel executives collectively pressured Kevin at that time and asked him to play the role directly at $5 million, on the condition that all English dialogues be used in the film, Lee categorically refused. ”

It's no wonder that Kevin will have an outburst with alcohol tonight, "Iron Fist" was supposed to be a bridge between Marvel and Lee Hyun Chul to strengthen cooperation.

And at the beginning, there were serious disagreements within Marvel about whether to shoot a movie or a live-action drama for this role.

The reason why Lee Hyun-cheol dared to face the conflict with Marvel's senior management was also because there were many Asians in Marvel's senior management who supported him.

And during the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a sister version of the "TV Universe" was also born.

This is tantamount to changing some superheroes who are not very popular and do not have the benefits of making movies into TV series to be broadcast.

Of course, there are many successful works, such as "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", which has been filmed for several seasons in a row, as well as "Luke Cage", "Daredevil Man" and so on.

Later, as you know, Li broke up with his ex-girlfriend because of his mother's illness, and experienced a double whammy, and it happened that the project of "Iron Fist" was shelved.

At that time, Lee's school held a recruit recruitment program for foreign college students, and Li chose to go to the army to hone his training. ”

Downey told to himself, and the drunk Kevin was like a child, lying on Lee Hyun-cheol's arms and chattering endlessly.

For example, after Lee Hyun-cheol left, after Marvel saw the box office horror benefits of "The Avengers", some directors took advantage of their power to hire well-known Hollywood screenwriters on their own initiative, launched the shelved "Iron Fist", and launched a live-action version.

(In reality, the "Iron Fist" live-action series came out in 17-18 and launched two seasons, which is ahead of schedule.) ）

Before that, Marvel had tested the reaction of North American fans and asked for opinions about "Tekken" on the Internet.

Everyone knows that in the original comics, Daniel Rand was portrayed as a blonde and blue-eyed white man, but with Marvel's plan to launch the "Iron Fist" live-action series, the call on the Internet to "suggest that Marvel find an Asian actor to play" is very high, because only Asian actors can better understand and interpret Eastern culture.

Although there is a certain difference between this idea and Lee Hyun-chul's original idea, there is no problem on the whole.

As a result, Marvel did not accept the suggestion after confirming the operator, and refused to respond, and finally chose to let Fen Jones play Daniel Rand.

After the first season was successfully broadcast, the overwhelming criticism did not wake up Marvel.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, if Marvel had changed the protagonist in time and formulated a new excellent script, this IP would not have hit the street to the end.

With only the change of the operator of the first season, the results of the second season and the increasing criticism made Marvel finally respond to the outside world and no longer produce the third season.

After Lee Hyun-cheol, who was in the army, learned the news on TV, he just let out a long sigh.

Among Marvel's many superheroes rich in oriental culture, Tekken's popularity is undoubted, and many fighting games were born under the name of Tekken, which is enough to prove that Europeans and Americans love this character.

After talking about Li Xianzhe's life experience in the United States, Donnie looked at the group of girls, and suddenly sat up straight, his face extremely sincere.

"We were very surprised by the changes in Lee in the past two years, we didn't know what he had been through in the army to make him the way he was now.

But I.... After all, I have worked with him for many years, and he is not as strong as you see, and I have seen him a few times before looking at the photo with his family alone, and he is carrying too much pressure.

Although I feel sorry for Lee for transferring his work to Korea, at least I see that Lee has more goals in life, and that is you, and I can see that Lee cares about you very much, otherwise with his character, he would definitely not have brought you here...."
