The Best Entertainment Era

Which movie should the Marvel superhero series start with? I believe that people who have a little knowledge of the Avengers series in their previous lives will give the same answer. After all, Tony Stark left a deep impression on people.

Especially the last statement - I am Iron Man!

Among a bunch of superheroes who hide their heads and show their tails, Iron Man almost produced a bursting effect.

This also makes Tony Stark and Captain America the core of the Avengers.

As a pioneer, the first movie 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 if the first movie is successful, can it be reserved for the subsequent construction of the superhero universe Give enough time and confidence.

Looking at the copyrights of Marvel superheroes that Ronan got, the story of Captain America is too far away, Captain Marvel is a woman, Thor is too small, and other people like Black Widow and Hawkeye can hardly carry such a big series.

In fact, the only option is Iron Man.

When it comes to Iron Man, one has to say Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. might not be the only casting choice for Tony Stark, but he's the best choice.

Handsome, coquettish, humorous and gloomy, typical playboys and prodigal sons, coupled with the low enough salary in the initial stage, it is difficult for Ronan to think of a more suitable 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 that Robert Downey Jr. was just released from prison in 2000, and he still took drugs after he was released from prison. He wonders if he will go to prison again. At this stage, his career as an actor is basically over.

If it weren't for Robert Downey Sr.'s connections, and Mel Gibson taking care of him a little, I'm afraid he wouldn't even get a role in Hollywood.

Calculated according to the time, Robert Downey Jr. has not met his producer wife. Those reports about Robert Downey Jr. in the previous life, Susan Levin, in the process of returning Robert Downey Jr.'s prodigal son, played an extremely crucial role.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Robert Downey Jr. is concerned, even if he doesn't want a penny of salary, Ronan dare not use him now.

If drugs were taken suddenly during filming, or another incident such as drug possession occurred, the producers and investors would not be able to cry.

Ronan called his assistant Connie,

Let her collect some information about Robert Downey Jr., and plan to wait until Robert Downey Jr. is at his worst to make a move, and strive to sign multiple film contracts with Robert Downey Jr.

In the previous life, the salary of Robert Downey Jr. alone was equal to the sum of the salary of all the actors of the other members of the Avengers.

The reason is that apart from Tony Stark being the most popular, rich and handsome, Robert Downey Jr. only signed the film contract of Iron Man 1 in the first place.

This allowed Robert Downey Jr. to take the absolute initiative in subsequent negotiations.

On the other hand, looking at the other actors except Scarlett Johansson, looking at their fame that seems to have spread all over the world, and looking at their salary, many people will be surprised, why is the salary so low?

Marvel's Avengers and its related series of movies seem to be huge investments, but in terms of cost reduction, Marvel has also achieved the ultimate.

Even in terms of treating long-term actors, it can be called stingy.

Of course Ronan has to carry forward this glorious tradition, and when it comes to the selection of actors, it will be mainly newcomers or down-and-out stars. Even if they become famous through the Marvel series, they will be the same as those stars in the previous life. The status and appeal have dropped by one or even several levels.

After all, apart from Iron Man and Black Widow, it is the characters that are really popular, and actors are far less popular than the characters.

From Robert Downey Jr., Ronan thought of Scarlett Johansson again. Now Scarlett Johansson is taking the route of art films, and she can be called the goddess of literature and art. She is the first person to truly enter the commercial film circle. After only one step, he fell into a big somersault, and the Escape from Clone Island was very miserable.

So, don't worry, Black Widow, she will also make an appointment with an actor.

Ronan took the time to come to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, reviewed the first drafts of several scripts, and specifically found Lindsay Bill who returned to Los Angeles from the crew of Summer of Jeans in Vancouver.

How's the recruiting going? Ronan asked.

Lindsay Bill rummaged through the file boxes on the desk and found a file bag. When she took the file bag, a book also fell out. She didn't bother with the book, opened the file bag and took out two documents for submission. To Ronan, said: I held an interview and a written test respectively. These are the last two candidates. I plan to choose one of them.

Ronan took a quick look. These were two female authors in their thirties. Their names had never been heard before, but those who were willing to become gunmen would definitely not be famous.

This is the selection of new shooters for the sequels of Twilight, The Hunger Games and Fifty Shades of Grey, and Ronan previously handed over the initial selection of shooters to Lindsay Beal.

Lindsay Bill has written these three books by herself, and knows these three series better than Ronan, the person who gave the idea and advice.

Ronan browsed through it, returned the information to Lindsay Bill, and said directly: Lindsay, you know better than me what kind of author is needed for the sequel, you make the decision.

Lindsay Bill already had a lot of confidence, thought for a while, and said, Okay, I'll let you know after I've chosen someone.

Attracting the Gunner with the salary that Ronan gave her back then, in a place like Hollywood where screenwriters are not as good as dogs, it is simply too easy.

At this position, Lindsay Bill fully realized how naive she was back then. It was too difficult for a helpless newcomer screenwriter to get ahead quickly.

In the past three years in Shahai Entertainment, she has seen too many screenwriters who have been in Hollywood for seven, eight or even ten years, but she still can only be a gunslinger screenwriter who doesn't even have the right to sign.

Even if they are lucky enough to get to the level of signed screenwriters, most of them don't even have the right to create freedom. They all create scripts according to the conditions and themes set by the producers or film companies, within the rules and regulations, just like her It is the same script as the adaptation of Summer in Cowboy Coat.

Ronan warned: Pay attention 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 not too bad. Ronan said simply: The Twilight Saga is currently selling almost 500,000 copies, The Hunger Games should reach 300,000 copies in the first half of this year, Fifty Shades of Grey Not long after it was published, sales were only tens of thousands of copies.

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

Ronan said lightly: Without high-investment and large-scale publicity, how can there be high sales?

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

Wait for two or three years. Ronan thought for a while and said, Don't worry now.

Lindsay-Bill tentatively asked: Can I be a screenwriter? She gestured and said: After all, I know these things better.

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

Okay. Lindsay Bill seemed confident.

Just as Ronan was about to leave, his eyes glanced over Lindsay Bill's desk inadvertently, saw the book that had fallen out of the file box earlier, and immediately picked it up.

Lindsay Beer explained: This is my youth, I used 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 to read.

The heroine is Katie Herron, and her background is clearly explained at the beginning of the book. Katie grew up with her zoologist parents in Africa, where the harsh natural environment formed Katie's strong and brave character.

Ronan glanced at the beginning and understood the content of the book. It basically describes the small social groups of high school girls and the impact on these girls...

When did this book come out? Ronan was a little surprised. He read every issue of the bestseller list, but he didn't see the name of The Queen Bee and the Follower.

Lindsay-Bill obviously understands the situation, and said: It was just released this month, because I want to write about youth themes, I often go to bookstores to look for books of this type, and then I found this book and found it interesting, so I bought it back.

Ronan nodded lightly, The Queen Bee and the Follower has just been released, and it probably entered the bestseller list early.

Did you see it? Ronan asked.

Lindsay-Bill replied: Read it all over.

Ronan asked again: From the screenwriter's point of view, do you think it is worth adapting?

Lindsay Bill thought about it for a while, and said: The writing is actually not bad, but it exaggerated the little high school girls' fight...

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

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

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

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

Later, Ronan called Christopher Nolan again. Christopher Nolan is already working on the adaptation plan of the Batman series.

It will probably be completed in July, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics need to be convinced by then.

After leaving Sand Sea Entertainment, before returning to The Theory of Relativity, Ronan received a call from Avril Lavigne.

Ronan, my new song conference is about to be held, can you come to attend?
