As soon as he got out of the car, Matthew was surrounded by a large number of entertainment reporters. Even with three bodyguards and Marvel Studios prepared security personnel in advance to open the road, he was still blocked in the small square in front of Marvel Studios' office building, unable to move at all.

"Mr. Horner, Marvel Studios has just been established and is still an empty shell, and has never produced any movies independently, why would you invest $40 million in them?"

Matthew stood there and couldn't move, and all kinds of problems were coming towards him like waves.

"Iron Man is just a second-tier superhero of Marvel Comics. Why did you choose to invest in Tony Stark?"

"Everyone doesn't understand your investment. Can you give a reasonable explanation?"

"Matthew, do you understand investment?"

After hearing these questions, Matthew did not answer immediately. The scene was too messy.

Of course, he wouldn't just leave like that. Marvel Studios communicated with him yesterday. I expected that this would happen today, so I was ready to answer some questions.

As long as he doesn't ask questions about the red pants, he will be patient.

Since he reached an agreement with Marvel to invest 40 million US dollars in "Iron Man", Matthew will also cooperate with the promotion, which is directly related to his profits.

He patted Brown Williams on the arm, and the bodyguard, who had been standing beside him, understood and immediately shouted loudly, "Calm! Quiet! Matthew has something to say, you are too messed up!"

When he heard Matthew asks to answer the question, the reporter paparazzi no longer chaotic like before, and became quieter one after another.

When Matthew saw the battlefield with guns and cannons turning into a chaotic vegetable market, he spoke, "I just heard some questions. Everyone was wondering why I wanted to invest in the movie "Iron Man", right?"

"yes!"

"That's right."

There was a noise of response around.

Matthew raised his hand and made a downward gesture. The mixed voice gradually disappeared, and the scene became orderly.

"Invest in "Iron Man" because I am a fan of Tony Stark!" Matthew started to lie again, and it was not difficult to act anyway. "In the comic world, the "Iron Man" series is as famous as "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four". This comic has been popular for decades and has been cared for by fans like me. Because he is not a biological variant or bitten by some insect. He is just an ordinary person, using his intelligence to create a steel suit, the greatest invention of mankind."

He shrugged, "Maybe many people think I was stunned, but I always think Iron Man is a very interesting character; in Spider-Man and X-Men, Marvel and other companies have successfully created a magical hero."

Although Marvel really lacks adaptation experience, Matthew cannot say that. "Marvel has successful and brilliant experience in adapting its superhero movies. I believe this "Iron Man" will definitely be successful."

"Other thing, I've talked to the director and screenwriter." Matthew's lies gradually touched the sky. "This "Iron Man" will touch on social issues and the world we live in. This story is about redemption and ordinary people who can be transformed into heroes."

In the lounge of the office building, Kevin Feige and Avi Arad looked at the situation in front of the building through the window. All the reporters were paying attention to Matthew Horner. No one looked at Marvel Studios more.

Obviously, the freshman Marvel Studios is far less attractive than Matthew Horner.

"He alone stole all the limelight." Kevin Feige was a little jealous.

Avi Arad kept looking over there, "We need someone like this, someone who can attract attention and popularity, and Matthew Horner is such a person."

Kevin Feige sighed and nodded slightly.

"You have also seen the recent reports and publicity about "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"." Avi Arad continued, "Warner Brothers has not made much effort yet. Just by the topics created by Matthew Horner, the name of this film has spread throughout the United States and has become the object of widespread discussion."

"Who could have thought..." Kevin Feige smiled helplessly, "He is born with such good conditions."

Avi Arad reminded, "You must use the Matthew Horner card well. What he can bring us is more than $40 million."

Kevin Feige certainly understood what he meant and said, "I know what to do."

In front of the office building, the short interview had ended. Matthew Horner, under the guidance of the security guards and bodyguards, rushed towards the gate with difficulty.

Seeing all this, Kevin Feige's idea became more and more firm. The promotion of "Iron Man" must be closely linked to this popular Hollywood star.

It seems that since I followed him, several months have passed, and his popularity in the media and the public's topics have never really dropped.

Kevin Feige thought for a while and suddenly laughed. Matthew Horner is indeed a very smart and self-marketing star.

Working with such a person is only good for Iron Man.

Having said that, should I find a way to create news between Matthew Horner and the crew of "Iron Man"?

This aspect needs to be planned carefully.

"He's in the building." Avi Arad reminded at this time, "Let's go to the conference room and complete the signing ceremony."

In the huge conference room, there were only more than 30 media reporters. Marvel Studios did not rent a large enough news room outside for the sake of saving money, so it chose to hold a signing ceremony in its own conference room.

Matthew didn't say much. After coming to the conference room, he sat opposite Avi Arad, signed on the prepared "contract", then exchanged the contract, shook hands in front of many shots, and the signing ceremony was successfully completed.

Compared with the $40 million investment, the signing ceremony was a bit shabby.

Matthew did not express his opinion on this because he knew that Marvel's life was not very good, and the past two years have been slightly better. In order to maintain the operation of the company a few years ago, even the copyright of the hero could be sold.

After the signing was completed, Matthew stood with Kevin Feige and Avi Arad and accepted a photo from the media.

The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder in a row, looking very close, without the sword lights and sabers in the previous negotiations.

Of course, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, with Marvel Studios blocking most of the much-needed budget gap, and Matthew got the investment rights of the Marvel superhero movies he wanted.

After the group photo ended, he was interviewed by the media on a routine interview. Matthew followed Avi Arad and Kevin Feich, left the conference room and entered the reception room on the same floor.

The lawyers and representatives of the producers' alliance were waiting in the reception room, where Matthew and Marvel signed a real contract.

Matthew entered the reception room and greeted the lawyer team led by lawyer Wilson, then came to Helen Herman, who whispered, "There is no problem with the contract."

"I see."

He took the signature pen prepared by lawyer Wilson and signed it in triplicate cooperation like Avi Arad.

After the signing was completed, lawyer Wilson took away the contract belonging to Matthew, and the others left the reception room, leaving only Matthew and Helen Herman. On the other side, Avi Arad also left. He was going to catch a plane back to New York. Kevin Feige was enough for the remaining crew.

"Kevin, is the hero sure?" Matthew asked directly.

Before and during the negotiations, he had enough knowledge of the current status of the Iron Man project. The film has entered the actual preparation stage. Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau are doing preliminary preparations in the hangar studio of the Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

In terms of important actors, Jon Favreau will play Tony Stark's bodyguard and driver Happy part-time, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow plays Little Pepper, and Jeff Bridges plays the villain Iron Overlord.

In order to reduce the pay, Jeff Bridges even brought it to Marvel half-heartedly.

Among the scripts he has read, Iron Overlord is the biggest villain, but the crew gave Jeff Bridges a character script and told him that Iron Overlord is not the biggest villain, and there will be a reversal. The biggest villain is Iron Man's mortal enemy in the comics.

Jeff Bridges is also a character in Hollywood and may have doubts about pure villains.

In short, the project "Iron Man" faces many difficulties, and Kevin Feige tries every means to solve these difficulties.

Hearing Matthew asks the male lead, Kevin Feige shook his head, "Not yet, there were three candidates, you, Tom Cruise and Nicholas Cage, but..."

Since Matthew has invested in this project, he has to find a way to let "Iron Man" develop along the right path and said, "I recommend my personal choice, do you think it's appropriate."

Now sitting in a boat, Kevin Fitch was not worried that Matthew would cheat him, and asked curiously, "Who?"

"Do you still remember Robert Downey Jr.?" Matthew said the name that real person was directly equated with Iron Man, "I think he should be suitable."

Before Kevin Feige could speak, he said, "Tony Stark is rich, handsome, funny, charming, and made a big mistake. Finally, he realized that this is very similar to Robert Downey Jr. himself."

Helen Helman looked at Matthew strangely because she knew very well that Matthew had never dealt with Robert Downey Jr.

After all, this is also the protagonist of the big production with a production cost of $140 million. With Matthew's personality, how could he recommend someone who doesn't matter?

Matthew noticed Helen Hermann, but did not think of an explanation. Such things were not clear.

"Well..." Kevin Feige thought for a while, "I'll get in touch with Robert Downey Jr."
