In the next two days, Kevin Feige sent someone to contact Robert Downey Jr., and Matthew was also paying attention to the dynamics there. Robert Downey Jr. was very interested in playing Tony Stark.

The former Oscar nominee is in a difficult situation. Drug use and jail have almost ruined his acting career. Fortunately, his family relationship is still there, and many people still sell some face to Robert Downey, the elderly. Mel Gibson pulled Robert Downey Jr. before completely offending the Jewish people in the circle. After that, George Clooney also supported Robert Downey Jr., but in the end, he could not completely change Robert Downey Jr.'s situation and make him the genius actor in the 1990s again.

Marvel has doubts about Robert Downey Jr., and the chance of relapse of drugs is too high.

Fortunately, there is no solution in this regard. At the suggestion of Helen Hermann, Kevin Feige formulated a strict salary payment plan. If Robert Downey Jr. can pass the audition of Tony Stark, except for the first salary with a very low proportion, the remaining salary will be more than 70% of the salary will not be received until "Iron Man" is officially released.

During this period, when Robert Downey Jr. broke out a drug abuse scandal, not only would he not get the remaining pay, but he would also have to pay the crew the same amount of compensation as the pay.

This is the prerequisite for the crew to invite Robert Downey Jr. to audition, and it is also a preventive measure to remind Robert Downey Jr. in the form of money.

Robert Downey Jr. has no bargaining capital now. According to news from Matthew, even if Robert Downey Jr. passes the audition, Marvel is only going to provide him with a pay of $500,000.

"Kevin, I have a suggestion, you think about it."

In Marvel Studios' office, Matthew put down Robert Downey Jr.'s information and said, "If "Iron Man" goes well, our subsequent plans will be unfolded, right?"

"Well." Kevin Feiqi nodded. Now Matthew is the second largest investor in films outside of Marvel and has the right to invest in subsequent works. Both sides are on the same front and there is no need to hide some things. "If the plan can be implemented, after four to five movies, we will assemble the Avengers."

Matthew knew this during the negotiations, "Since that's the case, Kevin, why don't you sign a few film contracts with Robert Donnie Jr."

Kevin Feige was stunned for a moment. They didn't think so much about it now. After all, "Iron Man" is a gambling, and no one can guarantee the outcome.

Matthew is now an investor and producer, so he naturally considers the issue from a standpoint that is in line with his own interests. He simply said to Kevin Feige, "According to the plan, once "Iron Man" is successful, there will be "Iron Man 2" in the future? "Avengers"? These all require Tony Stark to appear. Why don't we sign multiple film contracts with the actors at one time? Even if the actors have to renegotiate their pay at that time, we will be relatively proactive."

"Yes!" Kevin Feiqi nodded, "I ignored this."

Matthew smiled and said, "Robert Downey Jr. is in poor condition now. It is a good opportunity for us to put forward these conditions. If "Iron Man" is released and we will discuss a new contract with him, then we will be passive."

Kevin Feige walked back and forth in the office twice and echoed, "I'm going to ask for preparation. Even if the person who passed the audition was not Robert Downey Jr., we have to strive to sign a few more movie contracts at one time."

Matthew didn't say anything more. Kevin Feige was distracted by funding and other issues before. Now after his reminder, he would definitely find a way to get a contract that is beneficial to the film company. In the situation of Robert Downey Jr., as long as the contract is not too excessive, he would probably come down.

Matthew once noticed when he was watching entertainment gossip that Robert Downey Jr. is the highest paid of all Marvel actors, and a person's pay can be equivalent to the total income of all other Avengers members. On the one hand, this is because Iron Man is the most popular among movie fans, and on the other hand, Marvel first signed a single contract with him.

Perhaps Marvel himself did not expect "Iron Man" to be so successful, and Marvel was not in good condition. When Robert Downey Jr. was enabled, he only signed a film contract with him for "Iron Man".

When "Iron Man" was so popular, when Marvel wanted to invite Robert Downey Jr., Robert Downey Jr.'s pay increased more than ten times.

This led to a vicious cycle. "Iron Man" continued to sell well, Tony Stark became more and more popular, and Robert Downey Jr., who signed one by one, opened his mouth no longer...

Matthew knew very well that if Robert Downey Jr. really wanted to play this role, his treatment would be much worse than before, but he felt at ease. Isn’t it what capital has been doing to suppress labor for his own gain?

Although he does not understand movie operations, he can watch it farther than Marvel's superhero series. He has many Marvel superhero movies to invest in in the future. If he doesn't dig a hole with Robert Downey Jr., should he wait for the future Robert Downey Jr. to speak loudly?

According to Matthew's own guess, the most troublesome thing in the Marvel Superhero series, Marvel Studios and Disney should be Robert Downey Jr.'s pay.

As for changing actors, I guess the movie will be able to go to my grandma's house.

Even Hollywood has never had two superstars limited to a separate series, one is Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow, and the other is Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man.

Before coming out of Marvel Studios, Matthew asked Marvel Studios in detail about the subsequent movie plans. Perhaps Marvel's situation is not very good. The Marvel Superhero series has plans, but it is not particularly clear. In a plan given to him by Kevin Feich, he saw many superhero names, such as Luo Dadun, Brothers of Daji, Doctor Danpancai, etc.

As for which specific films will be filmed in the future, Marvel will wait until "Iron Man" is released before making a decision.

If "Iron Man" fails, the subsequent ones will be postponed indefinitely.

After walking out of Marvel Studios and getting into the Mercedes-Benz sedan waiting at the door, Matthew turned around and saw the office building covered with comic heroes. He suddenly thought of one thing: Can superhero movies win Oscars in the future? Or change the low-level and childish status in the circle and media?

Commercial movies that are also aimed at making money are also divided into different levels. Comic-adapted superhero movies are undoubtedly the kind with very low status.

This is recognized throughout Hollywood, not his own ideas.

The Mercedes-Benz turned around and drove towards Beverly Hills to the south. Matthew was fine now and he started to think about it.

With the current social environment in Hollywood and the development trend, there is actually a good way to adapt comic superhero movies. Not only can the media and film critics not dare to criticize casually, but even the old men in the academy have to shut up.

Find a suitable superhero movie and bring together lgbt elements such as feminism, black people, homosexuality, etc., and whoever dares to give bad reviews will be sweared to death.

Actually, Wonder Woman is quite suitable.

Matthew instantly thought of the long-legged female hero who had seen on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The female hero herself increased the feminist color and then made her a black lover... No, it was a black lover, and it was a good choice for the subject matter, and then feminist + homosexual + politics + black + environmental protection + refugees...

Who dares to compete at that time? Who dares not give good comments?

Very good, the box office and reputation are both amazing, and the best Oscar will definitely be won.

Thinking of this, Matthew murmured softly, "Spider-Man wants to love black people, and goddess wants to love black people. We all love black people. Fortunately, I also use black toothpaste, which is considered to be keeping up with the trend."

Suddenly, he discovered a key question: What if love for dogs becomes Hollywood's first political correctness, what should I do with mainstream Hollywood movies?

cough……

Matthew clenched his fist and coughed, quickly interrupting this boring idea. Hollywood was not the San Fernando Valley after all.

His cell phone suddenly rang, but it was a call from Kevin Feige.

The two had just met and called at this time. Matthew was a little curious, answered the phone and asked, "Hi, Kevin, is there anything?"

"I forgot to tell you something." Kevin Feige's voice on the other side of the phone was a little weird, "Can you listen?"

"Tell me."

Kevin Feige over there continued, "I have an idea that it is very beneficial to the promotion of "Iron Man". What do you think of Gwyneth Paltrow?"

As soon as this was said, Matthew immediately understood what Kevin Feige meant and reminded, "You may not have noticed it? Gwyneth Paltrow is married."

"Ah...I ignored it." Kevin Feige seemed to pat his head, "Or..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Matthew on the phone, "Kevin, let's leave this kind of thing to Robert Downey Jr. OK, I have something to do, keep in touch."

Matthew then hung up the phone.

Gossip and scandals are indeed a good way to maintain topicality and attention, but Matthew doesn't want to use them in a specific movie anymore. First, he has too many gossip and scandals, and second, he has used them a few times before. If he continues to use them, it may not be very effective for the movie itself.

As for what Kevin Feige mentioned, Gwyneth Paltrow, Matthew didn't even think about it. Not only was the other party married, he was also the most famous princess disease patient in Hollywood.

Who would mess with someone who thinks he is more particular than a princess when he is idle? Isn’t that asking for trouble?

After receiving $40 million injected by Matthew, the preparations gradually got on track, and the selection of remaining actors was put on the daily routine. Helen Hermann once again took advantage of Matthew's advantages to stuff a large number of young actors in the Angel Agency into the crew.
