As night fell, the Beverly Hills Clubhouse was brightly lit, and luxury cars came flooding in, with men in formal suits and beautiful women in flamboyant evening dresses entering the clubhouse in a steady stream.

On both sides of the red carpet outside the gate, hundreds of reporters gathered in a specially designated media area, frequently pressing the shutter of their cameras.

This is a celebration party jointly convened by Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment for "Iron Man", which celebrates the global success of the film.

"Congratulations, Ronan. ”

In the clubhouse's grand ballroom, Chris from Sony Entertainment shook hands with Ronan vigorously and said, "Congratulations on the success of your Iron Man." ”

Ronan said with a smile: "I can only say that there is no failure, and it is not as good as your "Spider-Man". ”

Chris doesn't deny it: "You can't ignore the gap between the two popularity, who would have thought that "Iron Man" could have such an explosion?"

The film has just been released in North America, and the final North American box office is 361.87 million US dollars, and the overseas release has not yet ended, but the overseas box office has also reached more than 300 million US dollars.

According to many predictions, the final global box office of "Iron Man" will inevitably be more than $650 million.

Such an achievement, of course, is not as good as the "Spider-Man" movie, but before the two were adapted into movies, the gap in popularity was not ordinarily large.

Ronan was also well aware of this, and asked, ""Spider-Man 3 won't be released until next year?"

"Filming has just ended, and post-production has not yet begun. Chris has nothing to hide: "It is planned to be released in the summer next year." ”

He suddenly changed his tone and said: "The beginning of May in next year's summer file is best the first weekend. Does Embassy Pictures have plans to release the film this weekend?"

Ronan said: "Even if there is, make way for Spider-Man 3." ”

This is true, there are no popular sequels in the first-line big productions released by Embassy Pictures next year, and it is impossible for first films like "Hulk" or "Transformers" to hit sequels like "Spider-Man 3".

Chris smiled and said, "That's it." ”

"No problem. Of course, Ronan would not refuse this kind of smooth enthusiasm, thought for a while, and said: "Chris, remember my previous proposal with Sony Entertainment? We can cooperate on the movie plan of Spider-Man and Marvel, in the comics, Iron Man often plays with Spider-Man." ”

Chris shirked, "It's really not for me to decide. ”

In the comics, Iron Man played with Spider-Man, but in the movie, wouldn't Spider-Man have to play with Iron Man? This is unfair to Sony Columbia Pictures.

Ronan was only tempted, and seeing that it was impossible to achieve his goal, he didn't say anything more.

Perhaps, time is the best solution to this problem.

The "Spider-Man" movie trilogy was a box office hit, and Sony Columbia Pictures was full of information, so it naturally refused to let Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment interfere in the series.

The goal of Relativity Entertainment's next phase is not Sony Columbia Pictures, and it is also necessary to maintain the current good relationship.

There are more and more people in the banquet hall, and the circle as the center point basically revolves around three people, namely Ronan's side, producer Kevin Feige and Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. walking in the world.

Especially Robert Downey Jr., the success of "Iron Man" allowed him to win back all his reputation in one fell swoop and become a model for the prodigal son to turn back.

In the past, his bad things not only did not become a drag, but became a foil to success.

Bad things become good things, which is just a successful blockbuster movie.

The actors who came over tonight and will participate in Marvel's next few superhero movies looked at Robert Downey Jr. with some envy in their eyes.

In addition, there is self-confidence in the future.

Robert Downey Jr. has shown them the promise of being part of this series of film projects.

Riven Phoenix is good to say, after all, he is a well-known actor who has seen the world, like Jason Momoa and Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. is the goal of their efforts.

"Hi Jesse. ”

Susan Downey, who has changed her name, is also trying to expand her social circle, and she knows that Robert Downey Jr. will be tied to Relativity Entertainment for a long time in the future, and she will frequently greet the executives of Relativity Entertainment alone. She looked at the tall, sexy and beautiful Jessica Felton, and while secretly sighing that the other party had chosen the wrong profession, she softly complimented: "You are so beautiful tonight." ”

"Thank you. Jessica Filton said generously, "Good evening, Susan. ”

Susan Downey sat across from her and asked, "Alone?"

Jessica Felton smiled slightly: "I've always been alone. ”

"I heard that you have taken over several first-line film projects of Shahai Entertainment?" Susan Downey got to the point: "There are too few female producers in the circle who have achieved as much as you. ”

Jessica Felton said: "You're also amazing. ”

Hearing this, Susan Downey's eyes unconsciously turned to Robert Downey Jr. and said, "It's great, I can't talk about it, I can finally help Donnie a little." ”

Jessica Filton had heard more or less about the Robert Downey Jr. and responded politely, "You guys are so enviable. ”

Susan Downey seems to have become a little woman who revels in love: "When you meet the right person, you feel that it is worth it to give everything to him." ”

Jessica Felton had no experience to talk about and could only cope, "yes. ”

Susan Downey heard the politeness in her words, and quickly got out of the mentality of showing off her love, and said: "Jesse, I am also involved in the production of a new project, which is biased towards the commercial side, I am lacking in this area, can I ask you for advice in the future." ”

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "I can't talk about it, we can discuss it with each other." ”

"Okay. Susan Downey hurriedly exchanged contact information with Jessica Felton: "I know a lot of female producers in the circle, and we often discuss together, and if you have time, you can also participate together." ”

Jessica Felton nodded in response, "No problem." ”

She is no longer a simple technical home editor, and it is only good to know more about the industry dynamics.

Before the two ended chatting, Jessica Filton invited: "Fast & Furious 3 will be released in a few weeks, Susan, welcome to the premiere." ”

Susan Downey hurriedly said, "I must be there." ”

On the other side, Charles Rowan, who came on behalf of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, came to Ronan.

Charles Rowan greeted politely and asked tentatively: "I heard that Marvel Entertainment's "Hulk" is about to finish filming?"

The crew was still on location on the streets of New York some time ago, and it was impossible to keep this information secret, Ronan simply said: "It will soon be transferred to post-production." ”

Charles Rowan said: "Your Avengers plan is going very fast, and Marvel's speed and efficiency are amazing. ”

Ronan laughed: "Charles, it seems that Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not slow, I heard that you have formulated the Justice League Cinematic Universe plan and have begun to plan the first "Green Lantern"?"

There is no need to deny Charles Rowan, saying: "The Justice League and the Avengers are the two major groups of superhero comics in North America, and the popularity of comics is not equal. ”

Ronan said: "You're welcome, if possible, we can work together in the future to fight the Justice League vs. the Avengers." ”

Charles Rowan smiled even more cheerfully: "I hope to have a day like this, too." ”

Ronan chatted with Charles Rowan a few more words and went somewhere else.

A lot of news about Warner Bros. and DC Comics, he knows a lot on his side, and the Justice League Cinematic Universe plan is progressing amazingly.

Probably thinking that the first part was already behind, Warner Bros. management was really resolute, and at the request of Kevin Tsohara, Charles Rowan and Zack Schneider, who gradually began to participate, comprehensively formulated and promoted the Justice League cinematic universe plan, which had taken shape in three months, and finalized the director for "Green Lantern".

Martin Campbell, a New Zealand director who directed "The Mask of Zorro" and just finished "007: Casino Royale" this year, accepted an offer from Warner Bros. and DC Comics to direct "Green Lantern".

As for the male protagonist of the film, it has not yet been determined.

However, given the successful precedent of "Iron Man", Warner Bros. and DC Comics do not plan to invite popular stars, and intend to spend the main funds on CG special effects.

Ronan didn't intend to meddle, and there was no room for him to interfere in this kind of thing.

Robert Downey Jr. came over at this point.

"Hi Ronan. Robert Downey Jr. greeted Ronan and said, "There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Just say." ”

Robert Downey Jr. hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "About Mel Gibson......"

Ronan raised his hand and interrupted Robert Downey Jr.: "This kind of thing, I won't intervene, and I can't intervene." Donnie, you're not new to this circle, and you should know better than me what a huge group Mel Gibson has offended. ”

"I know. Robert Downey Jr. bit his lip: "But Mel helped me, and I can't sit idly by." ”

Ronan just said, "Be careful." ”

Regarding Mel Gibson, Ronan can't help Robert Downey Jr., not to mention that Mel Gibson offended all the Jewish community in Hollywood, and there has always been a confrontation between Relativity Entertainment and Mel Gibson over the "Passion of the Christ" buyout.

In late July, a big event happened in Hollywood, Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving, and in front of the police and onlookers, he sold Jews in public, and suddenly pushed himself to the forefront.

The current outpouring of public opinion criticism has almost drowned Mel Gibson.

Mel Gibson is dealing with the extremely sensitive racial discrimination in North America.
