It was a typical African-American who seemed to be a professional American football player, and Duke looked at him familiarly, but he couldn't remember his name or where he had seen him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info【Latest chapter reading】

"This is Michael? Oher. ”

Compared with Duke, the unreliable owner, Leonardo seems to be more familiar with the specific affairs of the team, "The team's target for this year. ”

"Michael? Oher? ”

Repeating the name, Duke gradually remembered who he was.

At last year's Oscars, Sandra? Bullock once relied on a movie based on a real person, "Game Progress: Weaknesses" in Leanne? The role of Tao Xi won the Oscar for Best Actress. The black man that Tausy helped was Michael? Oher.

This Michael? Oher also became a nationally known figure in the United States with his films, and his fame far outstripped his prowess in professional football.

"I think I've heard people mention ......"

Looking at the tall and strong figure like the Black Tower, Duke said to Leonardo, "After he entered the league, he didn't live up to the expectations of the outside world. ”

Leonardo nodded, "It should be that the performance is far less than expected, and the team wants to bring him in, just as a substitute left volley." ”

Hearing Leonardo say this, Duke withdrew his gaze, and the conversation between the two gradually shifted to other aspects, in most cases, Duke will not interfere too much in the normal operation of the team, and a substitute for a left tackle is not worth his too much concern.

However, one of the team's managers then took Michael? Oher specifically found him and Leonardo and introduced him to the two of them, along with Michael? Oher's adoptive parents.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

Leanne? Tausi took the initiative to shake Duke's hand, "We are all happy for Michael to join your team. ”

"Hello, Mr. Taussy. Hello, Mrs. Taussy. ”

Duke also greeted the couple and said politely. "I'm also very happy that a player as good as Michael is in the team."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Leanne without a trace. Taussy, after all, this is the prototype of an Oscar for Best Actress.

The two sides just chatted briefly, and Leonardo was obviously not interested in the Taussie.

"The National Collegiate Athletic Association suspects the Taussy couple of adopting Michael? Oher's aim was for him to be able to play at their own favorite schools. There are still questions about this. ”

Leonardo obviously had a bad feeling for the Taussies, and after they left, he said to Duke unabashedly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with their adoption, Michael?" Oher's high school coach was offered a job as assistant athletic director at the University of Mississippi just a dozen days after Oher received his acceptance letter. To say that there is no problem......"

He sneered twice and shook his head.

Duke patted him, "Is there a problem with us?" ”

Leonardo was stunned, raised his hand and scratched his hair, "It's really none of our business, I'm just complaining casually." ”

There is no real result of this kind of thing at all, and in Duke's opinion, whatever the starting point of the Taussy couple, they helped Michael? Oher is always an indisputable fact.

Like Hollywood stars, such as Angelina? One by one, Julie adopted poor children from the Third World. Sandra? Brock and Charlize? Theron may have adopted black sons with the intention of gaining fame and image, but it is an indisputable fact that these children who were destined for suffering changed their fate.

Speaking of Charlize? Theron's black son, Duke has also met, his relationship with Charlize is not ordinary after all, this South African diamond also wanted him to be the godfather of that little guy, but Duke refused without hesitation.

Frankly, he didn't understand Charlize very much? Why did Theron adopt a black man, but this is a private matter of the other party, and the relationship between them is just ordinary friends. It's hard to say anything.

After the Raiders' reception dinner, Duke continued his vacation, and the back-to-back releases of "Inception" and "Gravity" last year also put a lot of pressure on him. While the next work project was already planned, Duke wasn't going to start it right away, and was ready to give his entire team a good rest.

He can handle so much pressure and workload, but not everyone on the team can handle it, and if he wants to carry out the next big project with quality and quantity, Duke needs a mature team that works well with him.

If not the support of a whole team behind it. Even he spends more time and energy on many projects.

In the first half of March, he went to Marvel Studios and Warner Bros., and brought together key personnel from both companies for a brief meeting to prepare for the next phase of the project.

From its inception to the present, Marvel Studios has produced a total of five superhero movies, "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Hulk Hulk", "Iron Man 2" and "Thor", the first four works have been released and have achieved good results, "Thor" will be released in the summer of this year, as the last work before the collection of six superheroes, this film will also lead to "The Avengers".

Duke paid special attention to Tom? Hiddleston plays Loki, as the villain boss of "The Avengers", he can be said to be a key role.

The villains in Marvel films have become the consensus of the outside world, and Loki can be said to be the most charismatic villain in the first phase of Marvel.

At the same time, Duke also asked Marvel Studios to contact the actors' agents in order to reach an agreement on a new film contract as soon as possible.

It is undoubtedly a recognized fact that Hollywood stars are not as "valuable" as they were in the nineties, but this does not mean that some stars earn less than before.

There is also a consensus in Hollywood, that is, if you want to get a high salary, you should act in the sequel of a blockbuster commercial film.

Although Marvel's films are nominally independent, many of them can be classified into the category of sequels, in fact, the sequels of previous Marvel superhero films are deeply troubled by actors' salaries.

The most typical is "X-Men 3: Last Stand", the production cost of this film is as high as 210 million US dollars, of which the majority of the expenditure is the salary of the group actors, and the salary alone almost crushes the budget of this film.

And "Iron Man", when Duke filmed the first part, Robert Jr.? Downey's salary is only $500,000, and to Jon? Favreau took over the filming of "Iron Man 2", little Robert? Downey's salary has risen to $10 million.

The same with Scarlett? Johnson, when filming "Iron Man", her salary was only $400,000, and after starring in "Captain America" and "Iron Man 2" one after another, Nancy? Josephson has already shouted a base salary of $15 million to Marvel Studios for her!

Duke has no doubt that in the upcoming "Avengers", Robert Jr.? Downey's agent will definitely pay a sky-high salary of $20 million.

That's almost certain.

Maybe many people think that Duke saved Robert Jr.? Downey's acting career, the other party should be grateful and take the initiative to reduce his salary to him, the major shareholder of Marvel Comics......

But this kind of thinking is destined to be naïve, in this circle, business is business, and it will not be greatly discounted for some inexplicable reason, and Duke will not have such a naïve idea, let alone him and Robert Jr.? Donnie isn't a friend, even if the two have a good relationship like he and Leonardo? DiCaprio is average, and the business side of things is not too distracted.

Don't say little Robert? Downey's personal thoughts, around every Hollywood star, there are public relations, agents, managers and other professionals who draw commissions, Robert Jr? Downey's personal income is directly related to their interests, how can these people sit idly by and watch their interests suffer?

Duke never had those naïve ideas, business cooperation is business cooperation, if you don't pay real money, why is the other party willing to work?

Therefore, to get this bunch of actors into the same film, the salary is a factor that Duke has to consider.

And Hollywood's top stars also pay great attention to their returns in commercial films.

Like Robert Jr.? Donnie once told him that when his income is very small, he feels that his potential may be unlimited, he may be able to do a lot of things, and there will be many different development routes, but when his income gradually increases, and when he becomes a superstar one day, he feels that he is gradually approaching the maximum value of his ability, and the development space is gradually decreasing.

If you take the wrong path at this time, to put it simply, a few years will pass in a muddy way, and in more complicated terms, it will sink and collapse.

So, he will seize every opportunity and squeeze the maximum return within the limit.

In the same way that Duke can get a high cut of a film, in their minds, this kind of return is also a matter of course.

Among all the actors, the biggest headache for Marvel Studios is undoubtedly Robert Jr.? Downey, Downey has portrayed the cute and cheap character of "Iron Man" into the hearts of the people, and most fans also affirm his performance, so it can be said that he has fit in with this image.

If Robert Jr. is allowed to be allowed because of the salary problem? Downey's departure, for Duke and Marvel, is definitely doing more harm than good for now, as for the future, it depends on Robert Jr.? Donnie's offer will be re-evaluated.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, and Marvel Studios can play with Robert Jr.? Donnie spoke slowly. (To be continued.) )
