How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 708: A win-win situation. I win twice, but on average, it’s just once for each person.

"If I remember correctly, this [Spider-Man] series is another plan by Marvel Studios to replace my core position." Robert Downey Jr. said in a confused tone.

Zhang Nan nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

"Then you now let me, the current core, take care of the future core who wants to replace me, and it's better to help him grab some drama. What's the difference between you and asking me to abdicate in favor of someone better? Zhang, you are going too far!" Xiao Robert Downey Jr. said angrily.

Zhang Nan was not used to Robert Downey Jr. at all, and said: "Downey, there is a saying in nature that the number of ants kills the elephant. You should know it! Do you really think that you can always be in the Marvel movie universe?" Hold on tight?"

Robert Downey Jr. fell silent upon hearing this.

In fact, the successive appearances of [Captain America], [Thor], [Guardians of the Galaxy] and [Ant-Man], although none of them were big hits at the box office, each of them has a lot of fans, which is very important to him in Marvel. There are no small implications in the plans for the cinematic universe.

"After the [Iron Man] series is completely completed, the confrontation between you and Marvel Studios will be like a side without reinforcements, which will always be wiped out, so... cultivate some contacts for yourself early and leave a way out. !

Otherwise, look at Tom Cruise, how brilliant he was before and how miserable he is now. He joins an unknown religion just to survive.

By the way, you two are actually about the same age, right? Zhang Nan "terrorized" Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. was choked by Zhang Nan's words.

I'm such a big star, why are you talking about insurance with me?

In the eyes of North Americans, the British are the most unreliable and ungrateful beings.

You know, the second richest man in the world went bankrupt in the end.

This can be seen from the plot between the heroine and the second richest man on "Titanic".

So Robert Downey Jr.’s question was considered to be about Zhang Nan.

So - Robert Downey Jr. was moved by Zhang Nan.

It can be said that in terms of background, he is really not as good as Tom Cruise.

Even if it is a maximum payment, what can one or two thousand US dollars a month be enough for?
But after hearing Zhang Nan's embarrassing answer, Robert Downey Jr. also realized that Zhang Nan would definitely gain huge benefits from this young man.

On the surface, it is said that the heroine chose to leave the second richest man for freedom and love.

But shouldn’t you return such a valuable item afterwards?

But the problem is...

Because comparing their respective situations.

"Um... I'm not sure, how about I get you insurance! It's also a guarantee. If you had unemployment insurance before, would you still be here to be a villain?" Zhang Nan replied awkwardly.

But the problem is, you hold the heart of the ocean in your hand and run away while the ship is in trouble. What the hell is that?
You said that it was because of being framed and some combination of circumstances that the Heart of the Ocean fell into your hands, and you did not take it yourself.

However, the age gap between him and Tom Cruise is really not that big. Tom Cruise was born in 1962 and he was born in 1965. There is only a three-year age difference between them.

But when Tom Cruise became a Hollywood star with a salary of 20 million, he was still running naked on the street.

Tom Cruise has a "Mission: Impossible" series to protect him, and he has three series "Iron Man", Marvel Cinematic Universe Project and "Sherlock Holmes", but one of the first two has been completely finished, and the other is still kicking. If he is out, it means he only has one Sherlock Holmes series, the same situation as Tom Criss.

"But, Zhang, that guy is British! Is it useful to show some favors?" Robert Downey Jr. asked.

Robert Downey Jr. was speechless.

"Zhang, tell me the truth, how much share did you take of that young man's project income?" Robert Downey Jr. asked.

"Whatever the share or not, it's all hard-earned money." Zhang Nan said vaguely.

"Then let's not talk about hard-earned money, let's talk about something else." Robert Downey Jr. did not pursue the question, but started another topic: "Zhang, I know you are very good at helping people and getting a vote at the end, so - —

If Marvel Studios really wants to kick me out of the movie universe plan, make more money when they let me go. "

After listening to Robert Downey Jr.'s request, Zhang Nan recalled Robert Downey Jr.'s salary in "Avengers 4": a fixed salary of million US dollars, plus % of the global box office dividend.

The global box office of "Avengers 4" is 21.09 billion US dollars.

Then the 2.672% global box office dividend is 4 million U.S. dollars, which means Robert Downey Jr.'s total salary in "Avengers 2.872" will be million U.S. dollars, close to million U.S. dollars.

This is almost as much as his fixed salary, which is a huge amount of income.

In Zhang Nan's heart, the idea of ​​eating one fish and eating two, going with the flow and being a second-rate dealer came to mind again.

"You said make more money, how much specifically?" Zhang Nan tentatively asked Robert Downey Jr.'s psychological price.

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned by Zhang Nan's question, then hesitated and said, "Um... double the current salary?"

When he said this, Robert Downey Jr. obviously lacked confidence.

Because now he puts aside the fixed salary of 3 million US dollars for "Captain America ", plus the % box office dividend, which totals to million US dollars.

Doubling that would be 70 to 80 million US dollars.

This kind of salary is something Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't dare to imagine when the projects in Marvel Studios' movie universe plan are still at the level of more than one billion US dollars in global box office.

Zhang Nan, who had tested the price in Robert Downey Jr.'s heart, was secretly happy when he heard this, but pretended to be grand and said: "How about I help you get 100 million US dollars?"

"..."

Robert Downey Jr. was stunned when he heard Zhang Nan's answer.

So far, no one in Hollywood, no, in the global film and television industry, except Zhang Nan, has been able to achieve a film remuneration of over 100 million U.S. dollars per film.

"Zhang, are you kidding?" Robert Downey Jr. said in disbelief.

Zhang Nan struck while the iron was hot and said: "No, we can sign a contract. If we can't reach this number, I will make up for the shortfall for you.

But if you want to achieve this condition, you'd better entrust your negotiation rights for the film contract and remuneration between you and Marvel Studios to my Longbow Films, which will be easier to handle. "

When hearing Zhang Nan's request, Robert Downey Jr. hesitated for a moment.

Because in the past few years, he has also heard that many artists in the industry have made a lot of profits by being used as a middleman by Zhang Nan in their salary contracts. The representative figures are Tom Cruise and Li Lianlian.

Especially for Tom Cruise, Zhang Nan's salary contract profits are calculated in hundreds of millions.

However, the salary of hundreds of millions of dollars still touched the heart of Robert Downey Jr.

After all, according to Robert Downey Jr., the salary for the film is over 100 million, and the profit Zhang Nan can make is limited.

"When can the contract be signed?" Robert Downey Jr. asked angrily.

Zhang Nan was very pleased to hear this.

Another win-win deal!
But in this win-win situation, I win twice.

But on average, everyone wins once!
So everyone succeeds and life is good.
