Chapter 114: Ready to go (for the hope in the heart of the leader
On July 30th, North American time, in a private villa area on Third Avenue in Manhattan, New York, Lin Juan and five other people got out of two taxis.
"It's so beautiful here." Will said with envy. Lin Juan smiled and said, "You will be there too in the future."
Will smiled and nodded. Because of the popularity of "Journey to the Center of the Earth", his current salary is two to three million yuan per movie. Although there is a downward trend now, isn't this being protected by the boss?
.
"Shall we go in?" Hu Qin said with a smile. Lin Juan nodded, so Hu Qin rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened and several people filed in. When they stepped onto the lawn, a beautiful blond woman wearing a red dress came out of the villa with a smile on her face: "Hi, I think you are from
Director Lin from China?”
As she spoke, she looked at several people, and soon locked her eyes on Lin Juan.
Because Will gave her a wink.
How can it embarrass the boss? Just now, this woman's eyes were focused on the forty-year-old guide.
"Hello." Lin Juan nodded with a smile, and waited until she reached out her hand before reaching out and giving her a gentle squeeze.
In the handshake ceremony, if the person opposite is a woman, the man cannot take the initiative to extend his hand.
This is what movies taught him.
"Welcome, come in quickly, I think Downey is already waiting impatiently." The woman pursed her lips and smiled softly, being generous and polite.
"Thank you." Lin Juan smiled and nodded.
Several people entered the living room. A middle-aged man wearing a navy suit stood in the living room and waited for them with a smile. When he saw Lin Juan and others coming in, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, I
It's Robert Downey Jr., you can just call me Downey."
"Hello, I'm Lin Juan." Lin Juan also smiled and shook hands with him, carefully looking at Donnie in front of him. His eyeballs were a little protruding, and his eyes seemed to be searching around nervously. Occasionally, he would behave unnaturally.
, making him look a little weird.
This is a person with a sensitive heart.
Lin Juan came to a conclusion.
Because they have certain traits in common, for example, sensitive people are good at observing, especially small details that others will ignore.
Downey also observed Lin Juan carefully, and then said with a smile: "I know this name. I have watched two of your movies in the past few days, and there is also "Captain of China", right? It's just me.
Copyright not found."
Lin Juan shrugged.
The only thing you can find is that there is a ghost. There is no copyright owner for that movie in North America.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After saying hello, the group sat down on the sofa, with Donnie and Susan on one side, and Lin Juan and the others on the other.
"Can I ask why you came to me?" As soon as he sat down, Downey couldn't help but ask. This question had been tormenting him for a long time.
In terms of fame, many Hollywood actors have surpassed him, and he still has a dark history. Even though he has recovered now, the few movies he made after begging for a second chance were all relatively successful, and he has the help of his producer wife.
He is far from cleansed and can only hang around in the second line. There are not many big film crews in Hollywood looking for him, but now there are actually big directors from China looking for him.
The director, whose two films have a combined total of more than 5 billion yuan and nearly 600 million US dollars, will not be ignored even in Hollywood.
Lin Juan blinked, is there a reason...
Ever since he learned that this man had regained his strength and watched him struggle, Lin Jian felt that he should bring Iron Man to him. Maybe Iron Man could be his salvation.
And to be honest, he doesn't know how to touch either Iron Man or Thor, because the impression is too deep, and he also likes it very much, and wants to film it and share it with fans around the world, but the others...
Let’s change it.
"I'm your fan." Lin Juan said sincerely with a smile.
One hundred percent true.
Donnie couldn't help but laugh. He never expected this answer, but he was immediately overjoyed.
"Oh, that's great." He spread his hands and said with a smile. This feeling of being recognized is quite precious to him.
Lin Juan smiled and then took the script from Hu Qin, which was a specially translated English version. He put it on the coffee table and handed it over, saying: "That was the reason why I came to you. This is the purpose of my coming to you. You can read it."
Look, let’s discuss it.”
Downey looked at the script, then at Lin Juan, and finally looked at Susan next to him, then pursed his lips and leaned forward to take the script.
His agent told him that he was the leading actor in a blockbuster film, so he agreed to the meeting. In fact, now he is more looking forward to this cooperation than Lin Juan.
Susan tightened her hand on Downey's arm to comfort him. This man was a combination of contradictions. He was anxious but gentle, weird but kind, sometimes mature and sometimes childish, as if there was a child living inside.
But she loved this child deeply.
Downey picked up the script and first read the title "Iron Man" on the title page.
He looked at the name in trance for two or three seconds and felt that the name was as bad as "Captain of China".
But he finally opened the script. Susan smiled and poured a few cups of coffee with Lin Juan and others, chatting with them. The atmosphere was quite pleasant. This woman was smart enough not to talk about anything related to the movie, but
There were some anecdotes about Hollywood and Downey's embarrassing stories, as well as curious questions about China and some of Lin Jian's previous movies.
Time passed like this little by little, during which Downey asked Lin Juan a few questions.
"Is this a new superhero series?"
"Yes, but not entirely. It is not a separate series, but a member of my movie universe, just like "Captain China"."
"Does that mean there will be co-production movies like "Super League" in the future?"
"Yes, and probably more than one."
"How much is the investment in this movie?"
"Five hundred million yuan." Lin Juan said with a smile. Maybe it would cost 100 million U.S. dollars or more in Hollywood, but the Chinese crew doesn't need that much, because some of the scenes will be shot in China, and the special effects are also produced by domestic companies.
It’s just good quality and cheap…
After chatting with Lin Juan in detail about the movie and Lin Juan's plans for the movie universe, Downey and Susan looked at each other, then turned to Lin Juan with a smile and said, "One last question."
"you say."
"How much will I get paid?"
…
After getting Downey, Lin Juan's goal was achieved. He got on the flight back to China the next day. "Iron Man" agreed to start filming in April at the latest after the new year. As for now, he has to work hard on "Monkey King"
St. things.
One month after returning to China, all the special effects shots for "The Monkey King" were finally delivered. It took another half a month to find Zhang Shan and several voice actors to complete the dubbing, including the famous voice actor Shi Ban.
On September 18th, "The Monkey King" completed all post-production and was officially submitted for review.
On September 26, the film was approved, with only a few insignificant lines removed.
