And whether it is criticism or expectation, in such a big public opinion, "Iron Man" has suddenly become the hottest topic now, and those theaters that are still hesitating to sign a contract with Black Pearl United States have suddenly discovered the huge potential of Black Pearl United States, Tom Cruise and George Clooney joined the "Avengers" series, which multiplied the energy of the Black Pearl Alliance.

Think about George Clooney's ability to gather actors, bad movies like "Ocean's Twelve" can be sold worldwide, which means that even if "Iron Man" and "Hulk" are filmed badly, the box office will not be too bad, George Cruise and Tom Cruise appear in the same movie together, which is really daring to be a black pearl.

Within three days of this announcement, Century Theater, Well-known Player Cinema Group, Hoyt Era Panorama Cinema, National Entertainment Theatre Group, and Christo Theatre all began to take the initiative to contact Lei Ting, and without any hesitation, they all signed formal contracts with Black Pearl United States......

The final result is exactly the same as Li Xiaole's Jihua, the top ten theaters of these five theaters have all become partners of Black Pearl United States, and now he has 4 of the 40,000 screens in the entire United States.

"Anyway, your plot has succeeded again." When Lei Ting threw the stack of contracts on Li Xiaole's desk, she admitted defeat in a helpless tone, if there were no these theater contracts, Tom Cruise and George Clooney would not have signed them, but if they didn't sign the contract, the theater chain would not have signed with them so simply......

This is obviously a logical dead end...... But Li Xiaole just used a little trick to switch the positions of these two things, and everything was solved...... This really makes a high-IQ person like Lei Ting have nothing to say, and can only admire Li Xiaole's business strategy, I really don't know how this kid who is only in his early twenties can have so many intrigues in his stomach? Most importantly, he succeeded every time......

Flipping through those contracts, Li Xiaole smiled calmly, he used the unique Chinese film trick method, this kind of trick is commonly used in the domestic film industry, and now he is brought to the United States according to the gourd painting scoop, the same is universal, and the Americans still seem very simple in this regard......

So now, everything is ready, and now it's time to officially focus on the movie "Iron Man" itself......

Although the movie he is about to make is called "Iron Man", it will also be a superhero movie, but it is very different from Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" that exists in his brain library, because if he wants to make a movie that can be recognized by the United States, a movie that can make everyone applaud, the original "Iron Man" is obviously not top-notch enough in terms of stunt production and character setting.

The success of this movie, in fact, is largely due to the personal charm of Robert Downey Jr., the villains and battle scenes in the whole movie are not exciting enough, in Li Xiaole's experience from comparing "Transformers" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", he knows very well that Americans' taste for superhero movies is beginning to change, and the audience needs not only such tall and complete characters, but more importantly, digging into the humanized story of the superhero itself, with dazzling high-tech lenses, that kind of fashion, The artistic beauty is so cool that it can make fans enjoy this movie in theaters.

And according to this standard, the original "Iron Man 1" is very insufficient, not only the picture style is stingy, but even the key villain settings are very face-painted, although Robert Downey Jr. is very fashionable, but Iron Man's mechanical equipment is too lacking in beauty, and the heroine and villain also seem too mentally retarded, in this regard, Li Xiaole decided to make large-scale modifications, first of all, and most importantly, in terms of roles, he needs a supporting role in the story that gives Iron Man a strong sense of oppression, Iron Man himself is too powerful, If there is no villain in a superhero movie, then the story will be extremely thin.

In the original version, Robert Downey Jr. can last 90 minutes by playing handsome, which is not what Li Xiaole likes.

This old-fashioned character construction model is particularly obvious in the previous "Batman" and "Superman" series, and Nolan's new version of Batman has done a particularly good job in this regard, and the villains in several new Batmen are extremely brilliant, and even the characters like the eternal "Heath Ledger version of the Joker" in movie history have appeared, not just the face-painted villains, which is the key to making superhero movies fuller.

The biggest villain in the Iron Man story is Obadeith Stan, the CEO of Stark Industries, a fox in his fifties.

In the story, the villain also operates the same mechanical armor as Iron Man, and even more powerful, but it just seems to be simple brute force, and he doesn't look like he is suppressing Iron Man at all, although Jeff Bridges who played him in the original version is a good actor, but compared to Robert Downey Jr.'s light is too small.

It's not that the original producers weren't willing to find a brilliant actor to be the villain, it's just that they couldn't find a good middle-aged actor who was willing to be the villain in a movie like "Iron Man" that was questioned before it was released.

Tom Cruise, who now plays Iron Man, is also a shining superstar, and Li Xiaole must find a supporting role that can match him, so he found Tom Cruise's agent Wagner and asked the gold agent to provide him with a suitable cast for him to choose the villain.

The pressure on the six major actors is aimed at the first-line leading actors, and it doesn't matter to the actors who play supporting roles. They don't have the baggage of Robert Downey Jr.

Tom Cruise, the gold agent Gold Wagner, is not a simple person, she is the general affairs of the current agent union, and has a relationship with almost all the agents of first-line actors, so contacting the actor does not have to go through the agency, but directly through the name of the agent union, to send an email to those colleagues.

Brokers receive an invitation from their peers, and they are the first to see who is sending the email.

If it is sent in the name of Li Xiaole, even in the name of the president of the current hot company of Lianmei Black Pearl, there are absolutely no people willing to respond, but the effect of sending it in Wagner's name is different.

Because Wagner is extremely popular in the broker circle, has organized several major strikes in the brokers' union, and negotiated with the Big Six to improve the overall treatment of brokers, most agents are happy to cooperate with this strong woman.

In the "Mission Impossible" series, Wagner found Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jon Voight, such Oscar-level actors as villains.

After getting the script of "Iron Man", Obadiah Stan, a character that was polished by Li Xiaole, quickly attracted the attention of many actors.

Li Xiaole, who is in his office, has received calls from many well-known actors who are interested in the role of Obadiah Stein, even including Steve Basmi, Robert Patrick, and other veteran actors who have played countless villains.

Whether it is the terrifying pervert in "Prison in the Sky" or the terrifying T1000 in "Terminator 2", it is a temporary choice, which makes Li Xiaole feel a little excited, which is why he needs Tom Cruise, if it were not for Tom Cruise's agent Wagner's network, he would not have had so many actor options anyway.

This is also another proof of the current mature resource structure of Black Pearl United States, he is in charge of the script, deciding the general direction, and Tom Cruise Wagner is the liaison with the actors......

"Well, Lee, I think both of them are pretty good." Tom Cruise, who is the leading actor and co-producer, expressed his satisfaction with these two actors in front of Li Xiaole at the desk with excitement on his face, and Wagner also nodded, obviously thinking that these two were good.

When the two were on the rise, Li Xiaole shook his head, gently closed the two actor materials, and said in a calm tone:

"I don't think these two people can do it, I think we also need more powerful actors, that is, people who the audience will think are much better than Tom as soon as they see them, otherwise the story will not be able to move people." If it weren't for Heath Ledger's Joker, Bale's Batman would have been greatly discounted.

Steve Basmi, Robert Patrick's acting skills are undoubted, but "Iron Man" is an action movie, no matter how heroic the drama is, it can't intuitively put pressure on the audience visually, Li Xiaole needs an actor who will think he is extremely strong as soon as he appears, simply put, Obadiah Stein, the villain, not only needs a good literary drama, but also looks and temperament to give people a sense of oppression.

Steve Basmi looks like he has a kidney deficiency, and it can be directly ruled out that although Robert Patrick's T1000 in Terminator 2 is extremely strong, his problem is that he is too thin and small, and standing in front of the sturdy Tom Cruise, he is not a threat.

You must know that Tom Cruise is now in everyone's eyes, but he is the omnipotent "agent Ian" in "Mission Impossible"... It's not the decadent image of Robert Downey Jr. who was hospitalized for drug use...... Be sure to find an actor who can overwhelm him.

Tom Cruise was also a little depressed when he heard this answer, and he also knew that what Li Xiaole said was very reasonable, but how easy was it to find an actor who looked tougher than him, "Agent Ian...... Don't hire a professional wrestler......

"No, let's go find Jack Nicholson......" Wagner thought for a moment, hesitated and proposed.
