Chapter 375 Mean Girl

Which movie should the Marvel Superhero series begin with? I believe that those who know the Avengers series a little bit in their previous lives will give the same answer. After all, Tony Stark left too deep an impression on people.

Especially the last statement - I am Iron Man!

Among a bunch of superheroes with their heads and tails exposed, Iron Man almost had an explosive effect.

This also made Tony Stark the core of the Avengers together with Captain America.

As the pioneer of the first movie, it is very important. Ronan does not have the copyright of Spider-Man, and Iron Man is still the best choice for the first protagonist. Only when the first movie is successful can enough time and confidence be reserved for the subsequent construction of the superhero universe.

Looking at the Marvel superhero copyright that Ronan has obtained, the story of Captain America is too far away. Captain Marvel is a woman, Thor is too niche, and others like Black Widow, Hawkeye and others are difficult to carry such a big series.

In fact, there is only Iron Man.

When it comes to Iron Man, I have to say Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. may not be the only actor suitable for Tony Stark, but it is the best choice.

Handsome, coquettish, humorous and gloomy, the typical playboy and prodigal son turned back, plus the low enough pay in the initial stage, it was hard for Ronan to think of a better candidate than him.

Robert Downey Jr.'s acting career was almost destroyed by himself, and no one even wanted to use him.

Ronan has noticed the news. Robert Downey Jr. was just released from prison in 2000, but he still took drugs after being released from prison. I don’t know if he will go to prison again. At this stage, his acting career is basically over.

If it weren't for Robert Downey's connections, Mel Gibson would have taken care of him, he would probably not even get a role in Hollywood.

By time, Robert Downey Jr. has not met his producer's wife yet. In previous reports about Robert Downey Jr., Susan Levin played an extremely critical role in the process of Robert Downey Jr.'s prodigal son turning back.

Not to mention anything else, just Robert Downey Jr., even if he doesn't want a penny of his salary, Ronan doesn't dare to use him now.

If you suddenly take drugs during the filming, or if you commit incidents like drug storage are caused, the producers and investors will not be able to cry.

Ronan found her assistant Connie and asked her to collect some news about Robert Downey Jr. and planned to wait until Robert Downey Jr.'s down-and-out time to make a move, so as to strive to sign multiple film contracts with Robert Downey Jr.

In his previous life, Robert Downey Jr.'s pay alone was equivalent to the total pay of all the actors of other Avengers members.

The reason is that in addition to Tony Stark, the tall, rich and handsome guy, Robert Downey Jr., only signed the film "Iron Man 1" at the beginning.

This gave Robert Downey Jr. an absolute initiative in subsequent negotiations.

On the other hand, except for Scarlett Johnson's other actors, looking at their fame that seems to be spread all over the world, and then looking at their pay, many people will be surprised, why is the pay so low?

Marvel's Avengers and its related series of movies seem to be a huge investment, but Marvel has also achieved the ultimate in reducing costs.

Even when it comes to long-term actors, they can be called stingy.

Of course, Ronan has to play this glorious tradition, and in terms of actor selection, he will be mainly newcomers or down-and-out stars. Even if he becomes famous through the Marvel series, they will be the same as those stars in their previous lives. As long as they leave the Marvel series, their status and appeal will be reduced by one or even several levels.

After all, besides Iron Man and Black Widow, the characters are really popular, and the actors are far less popular than those of the characters.

Robert Downey Jr. and Ronan thought of Scarlett Johnson again. Now Scarlett Johnson is taking the route of art films and can be called the goddess of literature and art. The first step to really enter the commercial film industry was that he fell a big flaw. The movie "Escape from the Cloned Island" was very miserable.

So, Black Widow doesn’t have to worry, and you will have an appointment with the cast member at that time.

Ronan took time to come to the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment. After reviewing the first draft of several scripts, he found Lindsay Bill, who returned to Los Angeles from the crew of "Summer of Jeans" in Vancouver.

"How is the recruitment matter?" Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill rummaged through the file box on his desk and found a file bag. When he took the file bag, a book also fell out. She didn't care about the book. She opened the file bag and took out two copies of the information and handed it to Ronan, saying, "I held an interview and a written test respectively. These are the last two candidates, and I plan to choose one of them."

Ronan took a brief look and found that these were two female authors in their thirties. They had never heard of the name, but those who were willing to be gunmen would definitely not be famous.

This is the selection of a new Gunner for the sequels of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Grey's Fifty Shadows". Ronan previously handed over the preliminary Gunner selection to Lindsay Bill.

Lindsay Bill wrote these three books by himself, and he knew more about these three series than Ronan, a person who came up with ideas and suggestions.

Ronan browsed it and returned the information to Lindsay Bill, and said directly: "Linsay, you know more about what kind of author you need than me. Make a decision."

Lindsay Bill has already gained a lot of confidence, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll notify you after choosing the right person."

With the salary that Ronan gave her at the beginning, it was too easy to attract Gunners in Hollywood where screenwriters were not as good as dogs.

Only after reaching this position did Lindsay Bill fully realize how naive he was at the beginning. It was too difficult for a helpless new screenwriter to make a quick debut.

In the past three years of staying at Shahai Entertainment, she has seen too many screenwriters who have been living in Hollywood for seven or eight or even ten years, and she can only be a gunman screenwriter who does not even have the right to sign.

Even if the majority of people who are lucky enough to get to the level of signed screenwriter, most of them do not even have the right to create freedom. They create scripts in accordance with the conditions and themes offered by the producer or film company, just like her adaptation of the script "Summer of the Denim Gown".

Ronan reminded: "Be careful to let the Legal Department sign a copyright agreement with the recruited personnel."

Lindsay Bill nodded: "I know." Then, she asked with concern: "How are the sales of those three books?"

"It's okay." Ronan said simply: "The Twilight City is currently selling nearly 500,000 copies. The Hunger Games should be able to reach 300,000 copies in the first half of this year. The Fifty Shadows of Gray have just been published and sold only tens of thousands of copies."

Lindsay Bill pinched his delicate face and said, "It's worse than I thought."

Luo Nan said lightly: "Where can there be high sales without high investment and large-scale publicity?"

Lindsay Bill shrugged slightly and asked, "When will the movie be adapted?"

"Should wait for two or three years." Luo Nan thought for a while and said, "No hurry now."

Lindsay Bill asked tentatively: "Can I be a screenwriter?" She gestured: "After all, I know more about this."

Of course, Ronan would not refuse and said, "As long as "Summer of Jeans" is successful, I will leave these three books to you for adaptation in the future."

"Okay." Lindsay Bill seemed very confident.

Ronan was about to leave, but his eyes were accidentally sweeping over Lindsay Bill's desk. He saw the book that had fallen out of the file box before, and immediately picked it up.

Lindsay Bill explained: "This is my youth, I use it to find inspiration..."

Ronan raised his hand to interrupt Lindsay Bill, first looked at the title of "The Queen Bee and the Follower" on the cover, and then opened it and looked it out.

The heroine is Katie Helun, and the book explains her background clearly at the beginning. Katie grew up in Africa with her zoologist’s parents. The harsh natural environment there has developed Katie’s strong and brave character.

After reading the beginning, Ronan understood the content of the book, which basically describes the small social groups of high school girls and their impact on these girls...

"When will this book be launched?" Ronan was a little surprised. He read the bestseller rankings for each issue, but he did not see the name "Queen Bee and the Follower".

Lindsay Bill obviously understood the situation and said, "I just went to the public this month. Because I wanted to write about youth, I often went to bookstores to look for this type of book. Then I found this book and found it interesting, so I bought it back."

Ronan nodded slightly. "The Queen Bee and the Follower" was only launched, and it is probably early to enter the bestseller rankings.

"Have you seen it?" Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill replied: "Read it once."

Ronan asked again: "From the screenwriter's perspective, do you think there is value in adaptation?"

Lindsay Bill thought about it for a while and said, "The writing is actually pretty good, it exaggerates the little fight between high school and young girls..."

Ronan returned the book to Lindsay Bill and said, "You have completed the script of "Summer of Jeans". After completing the recruitment work, develop an adaptation plan for the book."

Lindsay Bill immediately understood that Ronan was preparing to adapt this book.

Ronan didn't say much, and went into the office to call Robert Lee and asked him to contact the publisher and the author to see if the copyright of the book is still there. If so, get the right to adapt the film and television as soon as possible.

This should be the original work of "Mean Girl" in the previous life.

Then, Ronan called Christopher Nolan again, who was already working on the adaptation plan for the "Batman" series.

It will be completed in July, and then it will need to convince Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Leaving Shahai Entertainment and not returning to the theory of relativity, Ronan received a call from Avril Lavini.
