In the presidential suite of the Jianguo Hotel in New York, the waiter was tidying up the bedding while glancing at the bedroom next door from time to time.
It was not surprising at all that the boss's daughter took a man to spend the night. After all, this is the prototype of Gotham City with simple folk customs. But what surprised her was that the man turned out to be "Asian."
Although she looked like a very, very rich person in terms of dress and temperament, she didn't expect that her capital was so huge. When she was called to clean the room, she felt like she was cleaning a battlefield. Two of the four bedrooms were messy, and the living room was messy.
, the bathroom is also a mess.
She is a dignified and elegant socialite, and a young and rich young man, but she is so wild and ferocious that she looks like an African lion and a lioness in heat.
"Sir, your room is the only one that has not been cleaned."
The waiter cleaned up the garbage and finally walked to the door of the bedroom inside without rushing in. He knocked on the door with a smile.
"This room, you can come back later."
Lu Fei buttoned the sleeves of his shirt, rummaged through Ivanka's wallet, casually took out a few pieces of change and handed them over, "Thank you, this is your tip."
"Thank you, sir."
When the waiter saw the tip, he glanced at Ivanka and then at Lu Fei happily, thinking that the boss's daughter had brought back a cowherd. He rolled his eyes with disdain, turned around and left with the trolley.
"It looks like it can be used four or five times. How about it? Do you like this gift?"
Ivanka put the lubricant back into her bag, opened her white bathrobe, and walked towards Lu Fei who was looking in the mirror with her bare legs. She hugged his waist from behind and rested her chin on her shoulder. It was a rare moment for a little bird to cling to someone.
"What do you think?"
Lu Fei turned around and kissed her. He was very satisfied with her unique "welcome from the aisle", which was quite warm.
"Not together?"
Ivanka walked to the door of the bathroom, suddenly turned around and smiled with a crooked smile, her eyes were sultry, she held the door handle with her hand and pushed it open, as if she was inviting you in.
"time."
Lu Fei looked like a sage and poked his Girard-Perregaux Opera No. 3 watch, "In 15 minutes, Wen will knock on the door."
"It doesn't matter even for a minute. Women want their men to be gentle for a while after they get out of bed. Unlike you, you want to put on your pants right away and not recognize him."
Ivanka stepped into the bathroom, "I paid for the room fee, tips, and even the money for the small umbrella. It's so heartless, Lu, you didn't do this when you pulled my hair!"
Everyone has the sage mode, don’t treat a moment as eternity.
Lu Fei put on his naughty little vest, came to the living room, took a sip of the warm milk, picked up the knife and fork and cut the bacon.
After chewing and shaking for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Wine? Or water?"
Lu Fei led Wen Ziren to the bar. The wine cabinet behind him displayed a variety of drinks, and the small refrigerator at his feet contained ice water and drinks.
"Ice water, thank you."
Wen Ziren took out a thick stack of paper from his bag and said respectfully: "Sir, are you looking for me because of "Dead Silence"?"
Lu Fei smiled without saying anything and poured ice water into the cup.
Wen Ziren swallowed his saliva and said in a panic: "It is true that many companies, including New Line, have approached me for cooperation, but please rest assured that I don't think they will bypass Hantang. I have promised Ivanka before, really
,Sir, I promise!”
"Nice, Win, thank you."
Lu Fei snapped his fingers and raised his cup with a smile.
Wen Ziren clinked the glasses with his hands and took a sip down his throat. The cold water slowly calmed his brain: "Sir, I can't believe that you are so busy that you would personally intervene in this matter."
"No, that's not why I'm looking for you."
Lu Fei looked away and put "Dead Silence" aside, "I plan to make "Iron Man". The director of this Marvel superhero movie, I hope it will be you."
"Cough! Cough cough!!"
Wen Ziren choked on the water, and while beating his chest hard, he said in disbelief: "What! You say that again?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "I never say something a second time."
James Wan apologized repeatedly, with a tone of disbelief in his tone: "Sir, you want me to make a Marvel superhero movie?" Then seeing him nodding, he asked: "Iron Man?"
Lu Fei noticed that he opened his sleeves and looked at his watch, and the corners of his mouth raised: "What, are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Oh no, let me confirm if today is April Fool's Day?"
Wen Ziren's shocked face looked a bit silly.
Lu Fei was speechless for a moment, "This film will be of A-level standard, but the budget I give you is about the level of "Spider-Man 1" and will not exceed US$150 million. Are you willing to accept it?"
James Wan was excited at first, and then confused: "Uh, sir, why would you think of looking for me? I only have experience in directing two Saw films 1 and 2, and producing experience in Saw 3. I have never worked on more than 2000 films."
For a movie that cost ten thousand dollars, I have never even been an assistant director..."
"Is that your problem?"
Lu Fei bluntly pointed out that Chinese-American faces are at the bottom of Hollywood's contempt chain, not only for actors, but also for directors. Asian directors account for less than 3%, and Li An is the only one.
So he patted him on the shoulder: "Wen, what you lack is not ability, but opportunity."
"Sir, I, I..."
James Wan choked up instantly, "Isn't that right? I've been waiting for three years, just for a chance. It's not to prove how great I am, but in terms of ability, I'm no worse than the best!"
"You don't believe my vision, but you can't even have confidence in yourself, right?"
Lu Fei trusts Lu Fei very much. His film "Fast 7" is a classic in the series, and "Aquaman" has firmly established himself as the most cost-effective director in Hollywood. With an effect that only $300 million can achieve, "Aquaman"
》It only cost a mere US$160 million.
Guaranteed profits and quality, no one can compete with him.
James Wan was hesitant to speak, he was full of worries. After all, this is an opportunity and a danger. Once "Iron Man" hits the market, his future as a director in Hollywood will be almost over.
"Don't worry about losing money."
Lu Fei said nonchalantly: "It's nothing to lose a little money. I can witness the potential in your body being activated. That's enough. You don't even know how much energy you have. Don't be burdened. Han and Tang will still look for you to take pictures."
Lots of movies.”
"gentlemen!"
Wen Ziren was so excited that he almost cried.
Wen Piaoling has spent half his life, only regretting that he has never met the Ming Lord!
So I no longer hesitated and agreed decisively: "I'll take it. Do I need to write the script?"
"It's already being written, but you also have to get involved, because "Iron Man" is not just one film, but a series. The first part tells the story of a prodigal son who returns home."
Lu Fei shook the cup and spoke loudly.
Some people were born as mules, and some were born in Rome.
Tony Stark is a playboy who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars when he was born. He despises everything and doesn't care about power, reputation, or anything else, because he has the ability to make money.
It wasn't until he was kidnapped that he began to change. When he was trapped in a cave by terrorists, he realized that without his glamorous appearance, he was just a mortal who could die at any time.
At this point, he suddenly came to his senses, reborn, and used the broken parts in the cave to build the first Iron Man mecha, relying on this to escape death.
The first thing he did when he escaped was to announce that Stark Industries would give up manufacturing weapons. From this moment on, he gradually understood the meaning of responsibility and determined to save the world in the name of Iron Man...
“With great power comes great responsibility?”
James Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up his pen and wrote in the blank space of the script of "Dead Silence".
"That's right."
Lu Fei talked about Iron Man 1 to 2, from character arcs to story plots, and even mentioned the advertising placement of logic products.
"The first part talks about why he chose to be Iron Man, and the second part is about him dying because of his own invention, from giving up on himself to picking himself up and returning to 'Iron Man'. It's the same narrative as Tony Maguire's Spider-Man 1-2. You
Do you understand what I mean?"
"Got it, it's great!"
James Wan couldn't wait to buy the complete set of Iron Man comics to supplement the storyline, but suddenly something came to mind:
"Sir, since you designed and brought this Tony Stark to life, why don't you just play Tony Stark?"
"I'm afraid I don't have the time, but I can make a guest appearance."
Lu Fei made a rough calculation, not to mention the time from fitness to practice, he would not be able to achieve attendance in the Marvel Universe in the future.
The key point is that this film already has a Chinese director, and if he takes over the role, it will still be a superhero movie. Unless he changes his nationality, there will be problems not only in box office but also in film scheduling.
Regardless of whether "The Wandering Earth" is ranked first or second, it doesn't even have 2% of the movie schedules in the United States. In Hong Kong, no theater is even willing to schedule the movie. It is in the same sky and on the same ground as "Tomorrow's War", and the two treatments are even more disgusting than "Man Jiang Hong"
.
It’s so outrageous that her mother opened the door for her, so outrageous!
Seek common ground while reserving differences? Haha, we are united in our party and reject differences!
He can't spend 100 million to buy a joke and ruin the personality and character of the global technology hero that he finally established.
"That's such a pity. I think it's very suitable. You don't need to act. If you poke it there, it's just Tony Stark himself."
Wen Ziren breathed out a sigh of relief, as if regretful and fortunate.
"It's not a pity, but we can change the heroine of Little Pepper and change the role to a Chinese actress."
Lu Fei disagreed. Although it was just a cameo, he still had a way to link himself to "Iron Man". If he couldn't become the "Tony Stark" in the movie, he would just be the "Iron Man" of Silicon Valley and even China.
"Sir, who do you think is appropriate to invite?"
Wen Ziren immediately understood.
Lu Fei mentioned Zeng Li without thinking.
Pepper is independent and intellectually strong, but Gwyneth, the "Oscar queen" and "Hollywood's most hated actress", has a reputation reversal and her popularity has soared. She is the perfect stepping stone to Hollywood.
"I understand, sir."
Wen Ziren silently wrote it down and bent down slightly.
"The province of the province, the flower of the flower."
Lu Fei explained a few more points before watching him leave.
"Haha, Lu, what did I hear?"
Ivanka walked out with a cold face, "You said you wanted me to be your 'Pepper', but now you've turned your attention to another bitch. You are indeed Tony Stark himself, a bastard!"
"Hey, calm down!"
Seeing Ivanka carrying her bag angrily and leaving, Lu Fei grabbed her wrist, but she resisted extremely and tried hard to break away. He said angrily: "The next step is to treat me like Tony Stark does to women.
When the 'garbage' is disposed of, let those little peppers of yours take over? Damn it, damn it..."
"Snapped!"
Lu Fei raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
There was a crisp sound, and Ivanka was completely stunned by this slap. She may have been confused by Mr. Lu's respect for women since she got along with him, and she had no idea that he had a ruthless side.
Although it didn’t hurt very much, even my father never hit me!
"Fake, do you think you are an actor sitting on the red sofa, or a Victoria's Secret with wings? You are a talented producer praised by Hollywood, and you are my partner. How can you be stupid for a small role? You
What a fool!"
Lu Fei roughly pulled her to his side, "If you admit it, ok, I'll help you, you are indeed suitable, but if you want to be someone else's 'little pepper', haha, I don't mind."
Ivanka covered her cheek and calmed down before she realized that she was jealous just now. She really shouldn't have any resentment because of a character.
But it was obviously his fault, so she looked away: "I'm not stupid, and I'm not wrong either."
"You are wrong, so wrong. I thought you were a smart woman. I have always thought so, but you have disappointed me so much. Your father is a failed real estate agent, but you are not even one-tenth as smart as him.
I haven’t inherited it. Maybe you are smart, but you definitely have no overall perspective. Do you think this arrangement is just for me? Can’t you see that it’s for you!”
Lu Fei looked like he hated iron.
Ivanka was stunned, "For, for me?"
Lu Fei stared at her face, describing the grand blueprint of the "Marvel Universe" with reservation, and then turned to "China-US co-production":
"Do you know the nature of the branch? It is a Sino-US joint venture.
"Iron Man" will be a Chinese-American film that will be co-operated in all aspects from early stage planning and capital investment to script, casting, filming, publicity, release and derivatives. It will be the first truly Chinese-American film.
Do you understand the value of co-producing a commercial blockbuster? Does it still have value to the company to you?"
"Lu, you've thought about everything a long time ago, right? It's been fine since the time you bought the Iron Man IP. Have you also thought about how I will voluntarily join your Han and Tang Dynasties?"
Ivanka has mixed feelings. "Iron Man" is likely to make her a first-line producer. It may also allow companies that rely on the Chinese market to get more introduction quotas, and be promoted to the same level as New Line and Lions Gate.
Second-tier and even Hollywood superstars will fawn over her, which is much better than working for the family.
"Do you still mind letting Pepper out?"
"Lu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was too superficial. Did I disappoint you?"
"Disappointed, but not very disappointed, otherwise it would just be a slap in the face." Lu Fei patted her on the back, "I just hope that I will never be completely disappointed with people. You are not an actor.
, you will be the Hollywood strong woman above them, Amy Pascal, Anne Swinney..."
When Ivanka heard that she was compared to the president of Sony Group and the vice chairman of Disney, her ambition was filled with suspicion: "Is it possible?"
"Do you know why I am so close to you?"
Lu Fei touched her blond hair, "Stature? Beauty? Money? No, it's the intelligence that matches the ambition."
"Really?"
It was the first time Ivanka heard this from Mr. Lu, especially his affirmation with all kinds of reputations and reputations, and she was so satisfied that her whole body trembled for a moment.
"But that was you who was trained by me. Now you only inherit the cleverness of your father who went bankrupt a few times, haha."
Lu Fei raised a scornful smile.
"You! What do you want me to do?"
The first compliment and the next disparagement made Ivanka's self-confidence frustrated. She felt something was wrong, and her brain shut down, as if she was being censored by someone.
"Drink some water first and let your real daddy help you make a cold compress to calm down."
Lu Fei pushed over the ice water he drank.
Thanks to the monster for eating my grandson, Mr. Erdong gave me a big 100 starting coins.
After thinking about it, I still feel that although it would be fun to act, it would be too unrealistic and too embarrassing. Of course, although Mr. Lu doesn't play Iron Man, he still has a way to show off.
