Chapter 114: Preparing for Departure (Adding Updates to the Expectations in the Alliance Leader's Heart)
On July 30, North American time, on Third Avenue in Manhattan, New York, in a private villa area, Lin Ti and the five walked out of two taxis.
"It's so beautiful here. Will said enviously, Lin Ti smiled and said, "You will have it in the future." β
Will smiled and nodded, because of the explosion of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", his current salary is also two or three million yuan for a play, although there is a downward trend now, but isn't there a boss covering.
"Shall we go in?" Huqin said with a smile, Lin Ti nodded, and Huqin rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened, and several mermaids entered, and when a few people stepped on the lawn, a beautiful blonde woman wearing a red dress came out of the villa, with a smile on her face: "Hey, I think you are Director Lin from Huaxia?"
As she spoke, she looked at a few people, and quickly locked her eyes on Lin Ti.
Because Will gave her a look.
How can you embarrass the boss, just now this woman's eyes were on the guide who is in his forties.
"Hello. Lin Ti smiled and nodded, and only after she took the initiative to stretch out her hand did she reach out and gently shake it, and it was separated with a touch.
In a handshake ceremony, if the opposite person is a lady, the man cannot take the initiative to reach out.
That's what the movie taught him.
"Welcome, come in, I think Donnie is in a hurry. The woman pursed her lips and chuckled, generous and polite.
"Thank you. Lin Ti smiled and nodded.
Several people entered the living room, a middle-aged man in a navy blue suit stood in the living room and waited for them with a smile, and when he saw Lin Ti and others coming in, he took the initiative to take two steps forward and stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Robert Downey, just call me Donnie." β
"Hello, I'm Lin Ti. Lin Ti also shook hands with him with a smile, and looked carefully at Donnie in front of him, his eyeballs were a little prominent, a pair of eyes seemed to be nervously searching around all the time, and occasionally there were some unnatural movements, making him look a little weird.
This is a person with a sensitive heart.
Lin Ti concluded.
Because they have something in common in certain traits, such as sensitive people are good at observing, especially some small details that others will overlook.
Donnie also observed Lin Ti carefully, and then said with a smile: "I know the name, I have specially watched the two movies you shot in the past few days, and there is also a "Captain Huaxia"? It's just that I can't find the copyright." β
Lin Ti shrugged.
What you found was a ghost, and there was no copyright dealer to buy that movie in North America.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After saying hello, the group sat down on the sofa, with Downey and Susan on their side and Lin Ti on their side.
"May I ask why you're looking for me?" As soon as he sat down, Donnie couldn't help but ask, this question had been tormenting him in his heart for a long time.
In terms of fame, Hollywood has a lot of male stars surpassing him, and he still has a black history, even if he is now reinvigorated, and the few movies he made after begging for a second chance are quite successful, and there is the producer's wife to help him, but it is far from the point of whitewashing, he can only wander in the second line, and there are few big crews in Hollywood looking for him, but now there are big directors from China looking for him.
The directors of the two films, which have a total of more than 5 billion yuan and close to 600 million US dollars, will not be ignored even in Hollywood.
Lin Ti blinked, is there a reason......
Ever since he knew that this man had regained his strength and watched him struggle, Lin Ti felt that he should bring Iron Man to him, maybe Iron Man was his salvation.
And to tell the truth, an Iron Man and a Thor, he won't move much of these two, because he is too impressed, and he also likes it very much, and wants to shoot it and share it with fans around the world, but the rest ......
Let's change it.
"I'm your movie fan. Lin Ti said sincerely with a smile.
100% true.
Donnie couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect this to be the answer, but then a sense of joy followed.
"Oh, that's great. He spread his hands and said with a smile that this feeling of being recognized was very precious to him.
Lin Ti smiled and took the script from Hu Qin, which was still a special English version, put it on the coffee table and handed it over, and said, "Just now I was looking for you, this is my purpose for looking for you, you can take a look, let's discuss it." β
Downey looked at the script, then at Lin Ti, and finally glanced at Susan beside him, before pursing his lips and leaning forward to take the script.
His agent told him that he was the leading actor of a blockbuster, so he agreed to this meeting, in fact, now he is looking forward to this cooperation more than Lin Ti.
Susan tightened her grip on Donnie's arm to comfort him, this man was a combination of contradictions, he was anxious but gentle, eccentric but kind, sometimes mature and sometimes naΓ―ve, as if a child lived inside.
But she loved the child dearly.
Downey picked up the script and first looked at the title page with the name "Iron Man"
He looked at this name for two or three seconds, and felt that this name was as bad as "Captain Huaxia".
But he finally opened the script, Susan smiled and poured a few cups of coffee with Lin Ti and chatted with them, the atmosphere was quite pleasant, this woman was very smart and did not talk about things related to this movie, but some Hollywood anecdotes and Downey's troubles, and was curious to ask about Huaxia's situation and Lin Ti's previous movies.
Time passed little by little, and in the middle of it, Donnie asked Lin Ti a few questions.
"Is this a new superhero series?"
"Yes, but not all, it's not a separate series, it's a member of my cinematic universe, like "Captain Huaxia". β
"So there will be co-productions like "Super League" in the future?"
"Yes, and probably more than one. β
"How much did you invest in this film?"
"Five hundred million yuan. Lin Ti smiled and said, maybe you need 100 million US dollars or more in Hollywood, but the Chinese crew doesn't need so much, because some scenes will be filmed in China, and the special effects are also domestic companies.
It's good quality and low price......
After chatting with Lin Ti in detail about this movie and Lin Ti's plans for the cinematic universe, Donnie and Susan glanced at each other, then turned his head and smiled and said to Lin Ti, "One last question." β
"You say. β
"How much do I get paid?"
β¦β¦
After Donnie was done, Lin Ti's goal was achieved, he took the flight back to China the next day, "Iron Man" agreed to start filming in April at the latest after the year, and now, he has to be busy with "Monkey King" with all his might.
A month after returning to China, all the special effects shots of "Monkey King" were finally delivered, and it took half a month to find Zhang Shan and several voice actors to complete the dubbing, including the famous voice actor Grouper, September 18, "Monkey King" completed all post-production and officially submitted for review.
On September 26, the film was approved, and only a few irrelevant lines were removed.
At this point, "Monkey King" is ready to go.
