My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1296 Iron Man 2

"Iron Man 2 has been officially approved, with a production budget of about $200 million. It will continue to be directed by Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man 1, and most of the original cast, including Robert Downey Jr. And will continue to appear in the film..."

  Kevin Feige organized a meeting of Marvel Studios executives, and Xia Jingxing and Abel who came from New York also participated in the audition.

  Abel listened very carefully. He is in charge of the PE fund that Vision Capital acquired Marvel, so Marvel is also his company in charge.

   However, more of his work is to supervise and oversee the overall situation, and the specific implementation of Marvel is still in charge of professional managers headed by Kevin Feige.

Kevin Feige said with high spirits: "This is the third film in the Marvel Universe project and the sequel to "Iron Man", which will further expand the Marvel superhero storyline and also relate to Marvel The ultimate success of the cosmic plan.

   We must be careful with this movie!

   Now many people outside say that the success of our two films last year was just a flash in the pan, saying that we cannot continue the previous success.

  I didn't fight back against these jealous voices, because I wanted to slap these people in the face with actual actions and super high box office. "

   Kevin Feige's words successfully aroused the competitive spirit of the executives present, and now there is indeed a group of people in Hollywood who are maliciously speaking badly about Marvel.

  The reason is not difficult to guess, jealousy makes people jealous, and some people are thinking about the copyright of Marvel's superheroes.

  For the time being, these people haven't taken much action, and most of them are still waiting to see how Marvel's third movie box office is going.

   If it can reach or even surpass the box office of the two films released last year, it is very likely to arouse more intense jealousy.

  Kevin Feige briefly talked about the new movie plan, then looked at Xia Jingxing and asked, "Daren, the movie is about to start shooting, do you have any guidance?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, Kevin Feige still respected him as the big boss behind the scenes, although he had already said that he would not interfere in the creation, the other party insisted on going through the scene.

   "I have no opinion!"

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the executives, "The reason why I chose to acquire Marvel and inject 800 million US dollars into the company was the Marvel Universe plan that impressed me the most.

   Through such a grand plan, bringing those superheroes created decades ago to the big screen one by one is undoubtedly a good way to gain high profits at low cost.

The main difficulty of    is to find a suitable adaptation method. At present, everyone has been exploring in the right direction.

   As a shareholder, Envision Capital will not interfere with everyone's daily work except for normal financial management.

   On the contrary, we will do our best to provide all kinds of support for Marvel. "

   Kevin Feige nodded secretly on the side, and he was very welcome to Xia Jingxing, a good boss, entering Marvel.

  Because the other party respects their professionals, they do not regard Marvel as a cash machine, or a capital operation tool.

  In the United States, there are fewer and fewer bosses with such kindness and duty, and more of them are cheating in the name of acquisitions.

  Xia Jingxing was not aware of Kevin Feige's rich inner drama, and continued to speak: "China is actually a very large movie market, I suggest everyone to have dim sum in this market.

  Add some Chinese elements to the film, and at the same time respect the audience in the Chinese market, I believe that you can get an unexpected surprise in China. "

  Some executives asked puzzled: "What is adding Chinese elements and respecting the Chinese market?"

  Xia Jingxing pointed out directly: "For example, adding a Chinese actor, or appearing some Chinese cities and landmarks.

   And respecting the audience in the Chinese market is also very simple, don't follow other companies and portray the Chinese people as clowns.

  Some Hollywood companies are out of their minds and treat all Chinese people as fools. On the one hand, they hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, on the other hand, they want to make money in the Chinese market.

   Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

  Respect is mutual, if you don’t respect the 1.3 billion viewers in the Chinese market, the 1.3 billion viewers in the Chinese market will not respect you either. "

   This remark made most executives look contemplative, and a few people felt disapproval.

   Now many Hollywood movies are indeed deliberately smearing the Chinese, but aren't they still selling well at the box office in the Chinese market?

   They felt that Xia Jingxing was selfish and simply did not want Marvel to discredit his boss's motherland.

  Kevin Feige was very witty and immediately said: "Daren, don't worry, we plan to set up a content review team next.

  All scripts will be submitted to the review team for verification before the film officially starts shooting.

   If there is any inappropriate content, we will delete it.

  As you said, respect is mutual and we will never hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

   As for those who are sick in their brains, let them continue to be sick, in short, Marvel will always remain sober and kind. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't manage Marvel's affairs very much, as the big boss in name, he would never allow disgusting things to happen to his company.

   "Tell me about the cameo."

  Kevin Feige looked at Xia Jingxing with a smiling face, "Daren, in "Iron Man 2" you will guest star as a successful entrepreneur, the kind that even Stark wants to cooperate with you."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Okay, it's up to you to arrange everything."

   Kevin Feige continued: "And Tesla, this new energy vehicle manufacturer will be the car sponsor of our film, and you can send a few Model S to assist in the shooting.

  Oh, yes, we want ModelSP85D, I heard that the acceleration of that car is faster than that of Ferrari, it must be very cool to drive. "

  The people around laughed. Tesla is still very much in line with Iron Man. After all, it is a high-tech car, and it is the only one in the world.

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "No problem, but the ModelSP85D has not been produced yet, I hope it can catch up."

   "Oh, and the DJI drone, that's also a good baby, and needs to be featured in the film."

  Kevin Feige looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face. I have to say that the big boss has a lot of black technology products, and every product is very interesting.

   If they were not worried that it would be too much to place too many advertisements at one time, it would easily arouse the audience’s disgust, and they would all want to pull Fuxing Mobile into the sponsor list.

   After the meeting was over quickly, Kevin Feige dragged Xia Jingxing to the next office to meet the main crew members.

  Including director Jon Favreau, actor Robert Downey Jr., female No. 1 Gwyneth Paltrow, female No. 2 Scarlett Johansson and other leading actors are all in the room, and the stars are shining brightly.

Robert Downey Jr. was dressed in a white casual suit and looked very personable. As soon as they met, he shook hands with Xia Jingxing enthusiastically, "Daren, it's nice to meet you, they all say I'm Iron Man, in fact, I think you are more than me. Like Iron Man, at least the business talent is better than mine."

  Xia Jingxing laughed, and after chatting casually with Robert Downey Jr., he shook hands with the other stars in the room one by one.

   "Daren, I'm Scarlett, a young actress and your fan."

   The widow sister, who is the same age as Xia Jingxing, was wearing a sleeveless dress that was as white as snow, her skin was more translucent, and she walked towards Xia Jing in a lotus-step.

   In order to shoot the movie, Scarlett also dyed her blond hair red, with flaming red lips and deep and delicate facial features, it looked very beautiful, and it felt like a rapid rise in male hormones.
