Chapter 642 Good luck to you

Los Angeles, North Hollywood, in a very ordinary cafe.

"You have worked with Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, Mel." Robert Downey Jr. looked at the middle-aged man with a rough line opposite: "How are they?"

Mel Gibson picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and told the truth: "It was a very bad experience."

Robert Downey Jr. frowned slightly: "As the rumors in the industry, Ronan Anderson has a good reputation."

"Very good?" Mel Gibson laughed: "If they were really good, would I sue them?"

Robert Downey Jr. didn't know what to say. After experiencing the trough of his life, he was no longer the licentious man he used to be. Some things were also very clear: Is it also wrong to respect the contract between the two parties?

But Mel Gibson has helped a lot, and Robert Downey Jr. is not able to say such things.

The two have already talked specifically before. Mel Gibson doesn't have so many twists and turns, and speaks very directly: "If I were you, I wouldn't have worked with Ronan Anderson. Donnie signed more than a dozen movie contracts at one time. Is this different from selling oneself?"

Robert Downey Jr. was also full of doubts about this, but he was more concerned about another point: "Mel, you know more about production than me. Will Ronan Anderson succeed in this "Iron Man"?"

Facing a friend, Mel Gibson could not say nonsense: "I don't know the specific situation of the project, but I have contacted Ronan Anderson many times. Ronan Anderson is willing to invest $160 million, so he will definitely be confident of success..."

Robert Downey Jr. was struggling.

Mel Gibson shook his head and could only say: "Donny, cooperate with Ronan Anderson, and you must keep a hand, otherwise he will sell it and count the money for him."

Hearing this, Robert Downey Jr. suddenly thought of a question: With the current situation, what qualifications do you have to keep?

Then, he was no longer worried. After all, he had just participated in the first audition and might not be able to win the role of Iron Man. Maybe this audition will be eliminated.

Robert Downey Jr. thought of his current situation and his fiancée who was running around for him seemed to be touched.

Mel Gibson said from a friend's perspective: "Donny, cooperate with Ronan Anderson, you have to think about it, don't become like me."

Robert Downey Jr. asked quickly: "How is the lawsuit?"

"Lost the first round." Mel Gibson was tough as a savage: "I'm ready to appeal."

Robert Downey Jr. persuaded: "Mer, there are some things that you should take a step back when you need to take a step back."

Mel Gibson shook his head slowly and firmly: "You don't understand, you don't know, what kind of benefit does "The Passion of Jesus" represent."

A third-party agency has made an estimate that Embassy Pictures released "The Passion of Jesus". The net profit of the box office, DVD and TV copyright was more than US$150 million.

Mel Gibson also has a production company, and is very clear that third-party institutions have very conservative estimates and the real profit is definitely higher.

Robert Downey Jr. knew about Mel Gibson's character and knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he simply stopped persuading him.

For many people outside, Mel Gibson is a vulgar, rude and irritable man, but he has always been a reliable partner when he gets along with friends.

"Donny, be careful when working with Ronan Anderson." Mel Gibson knew how eager Robert Donny Jr. was to turn around. Ronan Anderson's golden sign was much more attractive than his friend's persuasion. He could only try his best to remind him: "Be vigilant."

Robert Downey Jr. said seriously: "I will."

Mel Gibson stood up: "Good luck."

Robert Downey Jr. smiled: "Thank you."

Mel Gibson left the cafe and returned to the Burbank Disney Studios. Robert Downey Jr. sent a text message to his fiancee. Seeing that he had not replied for a long time, he waited patiently.

Not far from here, Jessica Felton slowly walked into the glass door in an old-fashioned cafe near Laurel Valley Avenue.

"Here, Jesse."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jessica Felton accelerated and hugged the oncoming brown-haired woman: "Long time no see, Susan."

"It's been several years." Susan Levine opened a distance, looked up and down at Jessica Felton, and said, "Jesse, you seem to be bigger."

Jessica Felton looked down and said in a very troubled manner: "It's almost becoming a burden."

Susan Levin invited Jessica Felton to take her seat, ordered coffee again, and his right hand slid over his forehead, and the diamond ring on it shone brightly: "How many years have we not seen each other?"

Jessica Felton seemed to have not noticed the diamond ring and thought for a while: "It seems that I have seen it twice after graduating from the USC Film Academy."

"You technician, every time you call you, you say you don't have time." Susan Levine calmed down and pulled out the friendship that year: "In my last year at the USC Film Academy, we had lunch and supper together every day."

Jessica Felton showed a little nostalgia: "Yes, looking back, I was really happy at that time, simple and simple happiness."

Susan Levin sighed: "Graduated and working, it will be difficult to have that kind of happiness. I have been busy every day in recent years, and my classmates and alumni of those years are almost unable to contact you."

She said specifically: "If I hadn't met an assistant producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean crew at a party some time ago, I wouldn't have known that you have become the producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Fortunately, she had your contact information on her hands, and I finally contacted you."

Jessica Felton smiled embarrassedly because Susan Levine had contacted her when she first graduated. Unfortunately, she was obsessed with studying editing technology at that time and did not respond much, so the two sides gradually broke the contact.

In Ronan's words, she chose to be a technical mate. Except for a very small number of people, she took the initiative to cut off external contacts and wanted to study and create something new in editing.

As a result, I met Ronan, who was forced to become a producer due to financial pressure from life and research.

"I had some problems with my mind at the time," Jessica Felton said with a smile.

Susan Levin nodded: "No matter what, the most difficult part has finally been overcome."

"Yes." Jessica Felton subconsciously looked down at her chest. At that time, people were always laughing at her chest for being sloppy: "No matter how difficult it is, it's done."

Susan Levine said: "Remember? I invited you to Silver Pictures at that time, but fortunately you didn't agree. Look at the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the first producer."

Jessica Felton unconsciously thought of a sentence he often heard and said, "I'm just lucky."

Susan Levine said deliberately: "You are so lucky."

Jessica Felton smiled: "Susan, you have developed much better than me. Not only are you a producer, but you are also a senior vice president of Silver Productions."

Susan Levin shook his head: "How can such a small company be as good as the relativity entertainment you are in." She suddenly changed the topic: "Ronan Anderson trusts you very much? You are left to the top productions like "Pirates of the Caribbean" to you."

Jessica Felton neither admits nor denies: "It's okay."

Susan Levin raised his hand to lift his hair again, and the diamond ring was extremely eye-catching.

Jessica Felton was not stupid at all. This time he saw the diamond ring and asked, "Susan, are you engaged?"

Susan Levine secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I'm engaged. I'm sorry I couldn't contact you at that time." He looked happy: "I met an actor when filming "The Ghost Man". You may have heard of Robert Downey Jr.."

"Is it him?" Jessica Felton was a little surprised: "I know him. We also watched him in "Chaplin" together back then."

Susan Levin smiled happily: "I didn't expect to come with him." She shrugged slightly: "If Donny had not encountered some trouble over the years, I would probably not even have a chance to meet him."

Jessica Felton answered the words she didn't believe: "Maybe this is destined to fate." She asked: "Don't forget to notify me when you will get married."

"I won't get married in a short time." Susan Levine felt that the opportunity was almost done: "Donny is in trouble now, his career is at a low point, and his energy is not focused on marriage now. He is fighting for a role during this period."

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Jessica Felton: "Speaking of this, this character is closely related to the relativity entertainment you are in."

Jessica Felton asked, "What character?"

Susan Levine said directly: "Iron Man, Tony Stark, and Downey have participated in the first audition."

"This project." Jessica Felton nodded slightly: "I heard from my colleagues about the big project of Marvel Entertainment."

Susan Levin looked at Jessica Felton: "Jesse, can you help me ask about Downey's audition? The crew has not had a clear answer, I'm very worried."

"This..." Jessica Felton seemed very hesitant: "This is not a project I am responsible for or involved in. Strictly speaking, the project and I are not the same company."

Susan Levine smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to find out the audition results."

Jessica Felton thought for a while and said slowly: "It's not difficult to inquire about the audition, and I can't help much else."

Susan Levine doesn't believe Jessica Felton's words at all. Being able to serve as the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" shows that she is already one of the important figures in relativity entertainment.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be anxious.
