In the Marvel Entertainment reception room, Matthew and Helen Herman met Kevin Feige. Under the introduction of Kevin Feige, they met Marvel Entertainment's current chairman and co-creative director Avi Arad, and Marvel Entertainment's CEO Isaac Permutter.

The opinions of these two people can be said to have a decisive role.

After a few simple and polite words between the two parties, the content of the conversation turned to the topic.

Isaac Permut said tentatively, "I heard from Kevin that you want to invest in "Iron Man", I have a suggestion."

Helen Herman looked at Matthew and didn't say anything. Since Matthew was here today, the dominance must be on his side, and she didn't have to speak unless necessary.

Matthew sat on the wide sofa, "please say."

"You're the lead actor." Isaac Permut also had a little hope, "and then bring the fund into the group and also serve as a producer."

"Where is my salary?" Matthew asked directly.

Isaac Permuter was silent for a moment, and Avi Arad took over the sentence, "It's converted into your investment."

Matthew nodded slightly, which was similar to his proposal. He exchanged a look with Helen Hermann and said the numbers that the two had discussed before, "I can accept it myself. But..."

Since it is a business negotiation, he will certainly not be polite. "My salary is 20+20, and the basic salary is equivalent to investment; or in another way, one-third of your production budget is included in my investment as a salary."

His conditions have not been reduced.

Hearing Matthew's lion's mouth wide, Avi Arad shook his head gently at Isaac Permut.

Isaac Permutt frowned slightly. Issac Permuter needed funds for real silver and platinum production, not that someone took away a large piece of cake just now as the project was ready.

Kevin Feige glanced at Isaac Permut and told him before that Matthew Horner was not ordinary greedy and could never reduce his pay to star in a superhero movie. Isaac Permuter didn't believe him and insisted on giving it a try, but he was disappointed.

If you want him to complete "Iron Man", you should raise the remaining funds as soon as possible. The current production budget gap is as high as 60 million US dollars.

The 60 million dollar is not much more than an investment in a medium-sized film by six major Hollywood companies; it is not much less. For Marvel Entertainment, which is new to film production, it is too difficult to raise this amount of funds unless the copyrights of some popular superheroes are mortgaged.

His negotiations with Paramount Pictures were also not going well, and the publisher did not want to invest too much resources in their newcomer.

To be precise, Paramount Pictures will only decide the scale of Iron Man’s promotional promotion after seeing the sample.

The reception room was a little dull for a moment. After Matthew talked about his conditions, he never spoke again. Unlike starring in "Iron Man", he really wanted to invest in Marvel's superhero movie series, but as his first contact, he couldn't be too proactive and impatient.

Some things cannot be solved by taking the initiative, and taking the initiative will often bring passiveness to the future.

Marvel's superhero movies were very successful, otherwise they wouldn't have been filmed so many, but he knew that those people on the other side didn't know.

According to Helen Hermann's investigation, Marvel executives are actually gambling. Hollywood is not optimistic about them, and they themselves lack confidence.

If Marvel had really had confidence, he would have mortgaged the copyright to take out a loan and would not have raised funds through multiple channels to shoot.

Funding for shooting will undoubtedly reduce Marvel's own risks, and Marvel's senior executives have obviously left themselves with a way out.

Just as Helen Hermann investigated and analyzed through multiple sources, Marvel needed funds to inject the project "Iron Man", so the silence in the reception room lasted for less than half a minute, and Avi Arad took the initiative to break the silence.

"Matthew, even if you don't accept the role of Tony Stark," he said slowly, "it doesn't prevent you from investing in this project."

"Well..." Matthew frowned, as if he was embarrassed.

Kevin Feige looked at Matthew, then Avi Arad and Isaac Permutt, but he never wanted to speak. The shooting and production funds he needed must be resolved as soon as possible. His current status in Marvel is not very high. Avi Arad and Isaac Permutt are both his bosses.

However, he knew one thing very well: the influence of comics alone is very limited, and Marvel's future is not in the comics. As long as the series of movies planned by Marvel can be successful, Marvel's future rights may not be held in anyone's hands.

Since Matthew couldn't play the male lead again, there was no need to speak.

He doesn't speak, he only needs money.

For money, Avi Arad and Isaac Permut were asked to handle it. Even if there was a mistake in the negotiations, they would take the blame.

Ma Xiu was embarrassed for a while before he asked, "How much is the funding gap in "Iron Man"?"

Paramount Pictures plans to promote the release of "Iron Man" in the summer of 2008. There may be other channels that can solve the funding sources, but Avi Arad and Isaac Permutter cannot wait for a long time. What if they can't find other funding sources in the end? Then the funds invested in the early stage will be wasted.

Isaac Permut and Avi Arad exchanged a look. Compared to lending from banks or raising funds in other markets, Matthew Horner may be a better choice.

"If there is a funding gap..." Isaac Permut said, afraid of scaring away Matthew, the investor, "and there is still a shortage of $40 million."

"So much?" Matthew frowned even more.

He is indeed very rich and can't even become a billionaire in a long time, but even if he can take out $40 million, he will be put out in batches, the pressure is not too great.

Helen Hermann turned to look at Matthew. She knew that Matthew had not squandered the money he made except to buy Horner Manor. A considerable part of it bought Apple stocks, and the remaining cash, including the first $6 million paid by "I Am Legend", was at most $20 million.

Matthew thought for a while and asked, "I want to know, what benefits can I enjoy if I become an investor?"

Hollywood movie investment has never been able to enjoy 40% of the total income by investing forty percent of the cost, and many investors only share the box office profit.

Sure enough, Isaac Permut said, "You enjoy the box office profit of the corresponding investment ratio."

Hearing this, Helen Hermann put his hand on his legs, raised a finger and shook it gently at Matthew.

Matthew saw it very clearly. Even if Helen Hermann did not remind him, he would not agree and directly rejected it, "This is impossible. I am not an investor outside the industry."

He stressed his voice and said, "Don't forget, I'm from Hollywood!"

Isaac Permut looked at Avi Arad, who did not express any words for the time being.

Kevin Feige sneered in his heart. He could see clearly in his previous contact that Matthew Horner was not only difficult to deal with, but also profit-oriented.

How could it be possible to use box office profits to make big stars who are well versed in Hollywood rules invest tens of millions of dollars?

This Matthew Horner is not a fool no matter how he looks at it.

Matthew continued without waiting for Isaac Permut and Avi Arad to speak, "Don't I need to remind you of my profession and identity in the circle?"

Helen Hermann cooperated with him and interrupted, "Matthew is a member of the 20 million club, with great influence and appeal. We don't say that Matthew's network of personal connections in the film industry, but anything related to him is news with great communication value."

She also emphasized her tone, "If Matthew participates, how many favorable conditions will "Iron Man" get in promotion? I believe you have considered it?"

Of course Isaac Permut and Avi Arad had considered it, otherwise they would not have interviewed Matthew and Helen Herman. They wanted Matthew's investment because they were very clear that Matthew's funds were different from banks or other credit institutions, and his investment was not just investment in funds!

If it was just a simple investment in capital, there was no need for them to meet in such a hurry.

Kevin Feich's eyes swept quickly across the faces of Isaac Permut and Avi Arad. As a producer, he actually tends to accept Matthew's investments, and he can do too much in Matthew Horner when promoting marketing.

Not to mention anything else, Matthew Horner's personal blog is a very good promotion platform, which is one of the most famous and most traffic-based personal blogs in the circle.

As soon as Helen Herman finished speaking, Matthew continued, "Don't you have a $40 million funding gap? I can invest $40 million in Iron Man."

Isaac Permut and Avi Arad looked at each other, and although they were silent, they felt relieved at the same time.

Especially Isaac Permut, I regretted that the funding gap was $60 million just now.

But the two of them just breathed a sigh of relief because they could hear that Matthew had not finished speaking and the conditions had not yet been made.

This is the business negotiation, Matthew's mouth opened big enough and said, "I want one of the three major insurance companies in the United States to be a third-party guarantee for the project, and PwC as a third-party financial audit."

Investing in movies is not about throwing out funds, and there are countless examples of being cheated.

"And..." Matthew followed one by one, "As an investor, I require the full income share of the video corresponding to the investment ratio, and the future ten..."

When he said that, he changed his words, "I have the same priority investment rights as "Iron Man" in the next twenty superhero movies produced by Marvel."

"We cannot accept this kind of condition!" Isaac Permut said first.
