605: The Avengers
"Hey, man, you did a great job this year, cheeses!"
Robert Downey Jr., with a middle-aged brown haired man and a white-haired old man, came over with a goblet. As soon as he approached, an arm was unceremoniously put on Li Donglai's shoulder and clinked with his cup without saying a word.
"Thanks."
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Robert, if you don't pour the wine into my juice secretly, I will thank you even more."
"Oh sorry, my hand was accidentally tilted."
Robert Downey Jr. said sorry, but he had no intention of sorry, and took the opportunity to pour half in again. Li Donglai shook his head helplessly, and couldn't stand the mixture of juice and alcohol, and said with a wry smile: "You might as well give me a glass of wine."
"Ha, it should have been like this long ago. Waitress, please change to a glass of brandy." Robert made his own decision to help Li Donglai replace his dazzling juice.
Li Donglai has long been the object of everyone's drinking. His excuse for quitting alcohol can obviously not stop the enthusiastic persuasion of drinking at some point. It is the fifth time that he has changed the cup like now. Even though Lin Yuner stood up and blocked a lot of wine for Li Donglai, Li Donglai was still confused, and Lin Yuner was even more unable to drink.
Emma is better, she always tries casually.
Yoona next to her giggled and was amused by the two guys. After chuckling, she hugged the white-haired old man, "I'm very happy to know you, Mr. Stan-Li, I'm your fan."
That's right, the old man next to him is the king of guest appearances in American hero movies, Stan Lee, the father of Marvel. In every comic movie, you can find him as a guest appearance, which has remained unchanged for decades. In "Iron Man 2", this old man also made guest appearances similar to the image of a tycoon at the party at this time. Li Donglai had known him for a long time.
Stan-Li also smiled and said, "That's my honor. The beautiful oriental elves, I know you. If I am twenty years younger, I must pursue you. Li Donglai will make a big profit."
"Don't think about it, she is mine." Li Donglai declared his sovereignty without hesitation, and Yoon'er's face turned slightly red. She glared at him coquettishly.
Stan-Li held a big pipe in his mouth and exaggeratedly said, "Oh, stingy guy, jealousy is narrow-minded." "Yes, jealousy also represents my love." "Hmph." The old man hummed twice and continued to suck his pipe. He ignored Li Donglai.
Li Donglai also smiled "hehe" and didn't care. He had known this old man's temperament and liked to joke with others the most. When they were in the crew, they often joked like this, and they were not surprised.
Yoona is not used to American parties. In such a place where all Americans are, she is a little excluded. Without Emma's alertness, she can make a living. Emma is now fighting with Swift, Jinkadeshan and others. But she can only do something stupid. Li Donglai is afraid that she will suffer losses by some women, so he keeps her by her side... and avoid being attacked by perverts.
Not only her, but Missa and others are also neglected here. However, Guo Biting is familiar with Li Donglai because she often follows Li Donglai. Now she is one of the Phantom producers and has a good status. No one can guarantee whether she will work together in the future. Those stars still give her face.
Li Donglai glanced at the brown-haired middle-aged man beside him again and asked the drunk Robert Downey little with his eyes.
Robert then reacted and introduced apologetically: "Sorry. This is Avi Arad, the director of Disney's production department. You can get to know each other."
Li Donglai was slightly surprised and smiled and said, "Oh, big man. Mr. Arad is very happy to know you. What are you looking for?" The two shook hands again, which was considered to be a formal meeting.
Avi Arad was obviously stunned by Li Donglai's words "What is good to take care of", and then laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you are polite, I dare not take care of you. But we need your care very much."
"oh?"
Li Donglai looked at Stan-Li. This old guy is here too, is it related to him?
Sure enough, Stan Lee explained under Li Donglai's confusing look: "Disney bought the copyright of my "Avengers" comics and was ready to shoot them. They want to ask you to be the director, and I am optimistic about your set."
Li Donglai did not answer, and thought about the content of the Avengers slightly, and felt that it was a bit complicated. This kind of comic that brought together multiple superheroes has never been photographed before... Maybe it had been filmed, but it was not successful.
When Yoona heard "Avengers", she knew that they were going to talk about big business. She gently said in Li Donglai's ear: "I'll go to Missa, you guys talk." Li Donglai nodded and kissed her face.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "I remember that the early members of the first episode of "Avengers" were Ant-Man, Hornet, Iron Man, Hulk and Thor. There seems to be a list of changes in the middle. In the second episode, the Hulk left the team and joined by Captain America... You are planning to find that shoe-level hero. Of course, this Iron Man seems to be one of the protagonists again."
Robert Downey Jr. was teased by him and shrugged indifferently, indicating that it was.
Since Avi Arad came to invite Li Donglai, it was obviously considered by many parties, saying: "Our plan is the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor Thor and Captain America. Because these shoe-level heroes have been filmed or will be released in recent years. I originally wanted to invite Batman, but it was too difficult, so I had to give up."
Li Donglai thought about Ant-Man, but the Wasp seemed to have never been filmed. "Captain America" and "Thor" seemed to be released this year. However, the rest were very popular because of the release of movies.
For blockbusters like this, the content of the film cannot be separated from the content of the movies that have been released. This involves related movies, "Iron Man" (2008), "Invincible Hulk" (2008), "Iron Man 2" (2010), "Thor" (), "Captain America" ().
If this calculation is done, it would be difficult to gather such shoe-level hero actors. If it weren't for a big company like Disney, it would be difficult to gather if it was a Phantom.
However, Americans are also snobbish, and even American superheroes have to be treated like this. I will only photograph you if you are popular. If you are not popular, who cares about you!
Asked, "You know. I need to read the script when I make a movie."
"Of course, so we also ask you to create the script together. If you think a shoe-level hero needs to join, you can discuss it together."
"I'll think about it." Li Donglai smacked his lips, and always felt that there was still a smell of juice. "If you have any information or scripts, you can send it to me for reference. Also, who have you contacted? What's the progress and what the schedule is, I have to tell me."
His answer means he is very interested.
Aviarard shook hands with Li Donglai happily, "I will send you the most comprehensive news as soon as possible." He received a positive reply from Li Donglai. In this way, he could just rightly suppress another arch-rival in the company, Kevin Feige. He proposed to use Joss Weiden to direct, where is Li Donglai strong?
In fact, Josweden is also a big-name director, and is also known as George Lucas in the American TV industry. His "Buffy the Ghost Catcher", "Angel" and "Feather Worm" have a solid, professional and "geek" science fiction fan base comparable to "Star Wars". He is willing to listen to the voices of actors and fans, and has extremely strong creative energy.
Moreover, he was born in a family of screenwriters, and he himself is a screenwriter with strong abilities. "Angel Angel", "Buffy the Vampire Hunter", "Alien", "Toy Story", and even "Feather Worm" and "Transity" are all the products of his screenwriter and directing.
It is definitely not appropriate to say that Li Donglai is better than Joss Weiden. Both have their own styles and emphasis. However, Li Donglai's successive production of large-scale box office works has made Hollywood giants a little blindly trusted, and no one can't stand the money.
...
When a crystal ice sculpture of 700 million yuan, two 150 million yuan, and one 10 million yuan, were carried up, the audience applauded warmly!
With a circle of beauties and handsome men watching with applause, no matter who should smash which one, Justin Timberlake shouted out drunkenly, the gentlemen and ladies enthusiastically waved the little hammer in their hands and began to become demolition workers.
What is celebrated today is not just about ten million album sales.
More than a month after "Kung Fu Panda" was released, in addition to some regions, there were still big screens that continued to be screened, and the overall box office also came to an end. The most lively Christmas season in North America won the tiger's mouth. It won the championship in the weekend box office rankings twice, winning a total of US$230 million in the United States.
In China, after qualifying for the release of the winter vacation schedule, it was uncontrollable and it earned 680 million yuan in box office.
If it weren't for the 720 million box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" and the 440 million box office of "Kung Fu Panda" were intercepted, behind it, the number would not have ended.
This year, the domestic box office list is also booming, allowing some filmmakers to see hope for their rise. In addition to the insurmountable films of "Avatar" and "Inception" that were rampant at the beginning of the year, they won 1.05 billion and 1.38 billion rmb.
"Let the Bullets Fly" and "Tangshan Earthquake" are also members of the 600 million club. "If You Are the One 2" performed well. The old monster's "Die Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" won nearly 300 million, and continues to maintain the title of Hong Kong film directors as the most box office appealing director in the mainland.
The achievements of "Die Dee" also made Hong Kong filmmakers envious.
As the mainland has shown great box office potential in recent years, they have been looking for how to adapt to the needs of the mainland's films, but unfortunately the effect is not good. Although our ZF reason is that the policy restricts imported films, it also restricts Hong Kong films, and the review is not favorable. Also, because they make all the films in Hong Kong film mode, most people are still adapting. Therefore, most movies can only be released in the coastal areas of GD.
