Zach Snyder's face froze for a moment, and he pretended to pretend.

Making a movie is a laborious task, and it is difficult to recover without taking a break after filming.

Looking at Zack Snyder's face, Mitt, who was beside him, provocatively said:

"Why, what I just said, I don't admit it."

Schneider immediately stiffened.

"How is that possible, isn't it just continuing to make movies?"

"I'm an iron man!"

Kevin interrupted his bragging right away.

"Okay, I just told you not to be so idle during your vacation. Take a good look at this comic, and then find a screenwriter to adapt it and make a movie project plan."

"Three months later, give it to me. The movie will be released in the summer next year. The cost is tentatively set at 80 million US dollars. How to use it, you make a plan."

The original Spartan 300 cost $65 million, and $65 million ten years later.

Now, this amount has undoubtedly expanded a lot.

But Kevin wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to use it, just that he wasn't using it on the tip of the knife.

Chapter 262 Iron Man Relay

Zach Snyder breathed a sigh of relief.

Start work immediately, he really can't stand it, he's too tired.

But if you're just getting ready for work, don't be in such a hurry, you can take your time.

Of course, it is definitely not comparable to a simple vacation, but there is no way to do it. Who made him pretend to be forced, naturally there is a price to pay.

Outside, Ghost Rider, in the cold period of May, created a good box office that is no less than the summer period, which surprised countless film companies.

However, in May, it is not the choice of other major film companies.

Therefore, as the only blockbuster during this period, Ghost Rider's first-day box office is right at the same time as its investment.

It doesn't seem so unexpected.

In the absence of competitors, other studios have no interest in spending money to fight Ghost Rider, in such a privileged situation, for just a short week.

Ghost Rider made over 120 million at the box office.

After a complete release cycle is over, if nothing else, the US market alone will be able to recover the cost.

The real place to make money is in overseas markets and the surrounding areas.

Among them, Ghost Rider's jackets and motorcycles are the most popular peripherals.

And the manufacturers of Harley-Davidsons, in order to take advantage of this popularity, rushed to Chenxi Company to sign an authorization with them, and every time they sold a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

You can get a thousand dollars in profit sharing.

To put it bluntly, it is to jointly cut the leeks of fans.

The appearance alone is at least a few thousand dollars at a premium, and it is really unaffordable for people who are not wealthy.

Jacket suits, not to mention, sold hundreds of thousands of jacket suits in seven days.

The net profit is also tens of millions of dollars.

After all, the surrounding area has more premiums than simple clothes, and it is normal for the price to be high and the profit to be high.

Likewise, with the sale of Ghost Rider, Nicolas Cage's reputation spread even further.

Compared to Nicolas Cage's previous films.

The Matrix and Ghost Rider really made his reputation spread all over the world.

From this moment on, Nicolas Cage has truly become a world-renowned star.

In Hollywood, the status of actors is actually based on photo pay.

Conversely, it can also be understood that the higher the salary, the higher the status in the circle.

After The Matrix, Nicolas Cage's salary has risen to 20 million US dollars.

Before that, he had already made a number of movies that were very good at the box office.

It was not until the Matrix exploded that this pushed him to the throne of the superstar in one fell swoop.

Among the current Hollywood, there are only a handful of those with a box office exceeding $20 million, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and two or three other Hollywood superstars.

20 million is the default threshold for superstars.

On top of the superstar, there is also a title, superstar, or global superstar.

By laying the groundwork for The Matrix, Ghost Rider flourished.

Nicolas Cage, successfully promoted to become a superstar, and the most direct manifestation of superstars is that they not only only need a salary.

While the salary is more than 20 million US dollars, they also get a part of the box office share according to the specific situation of the film.

It is said that Tom Cruise, in the follow-up film of Mission: Impossible, has already received 15% of the global box office share.

This is the absolute superstar in Hollywood.

In his latest film Green Lantern, he received a salary of 30 million US dollars and a 5% share of the global box office.

The reason why Warner Bros. is willing to pay such a high price is to use his fame to drive the sale of Green Lantern, so as to make the DC movie universe alive as a whole.

In the case of Superman's failure, in order to make Green Lantern more likely to succeed, Warner Bros. did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to invite superstars, just to make this movie universe a success.

Nicolas Cage, the other films that follow, as long as they are commercial films, the remuneration is definitely more than 20 million US dollars and the box office share.

Of course, as a friend, and the person who single-handedly made him a superstar.

Kevin can still get a friendship price from him.

The sequel to Ghost Rider was able to invite Cage to continue filming for $25 million without any split conditions.

Subsequent cameos in other movies will also be charged cheaply according to the duration.

Of course, as the main force in the future reunion, Kevin should definitely use it.

・・・

In the blink of an eye, it's June.

Ghost Rider has only just come out, and the Iron Man promotion is on again.

Through Spider-Man, and the warm-up of Ghost Rider.

Iron Man, who enjoyed the continuation of the popularity of these two films, took 60% of the film output directly from the theater party.

As a warm-up time for the summer season, although it is not comparable to the large number of movies in July, there are also many movies released by small film companies.

Being able to take down 60% of the films, it is already the theater party who has recognized the power of the Marvel Universe.

It can be expected that if Marvel movies continue to be successful, in the future, Marvel movies will get more movies in theaters.

Occupy all the time slots.

In a capitalist society, it is the most real thing that can make movie theaters make money.

As long as it is profitable, no big company will work in front of them.

On the Internet, in an exclusive official forum of Marvel.

Huge headline at this time.

[The movie Iron Man will be released on June 3rd. Welcome all Marvel fans to watch the movie! ]

This forum was established under the direction of Kevin.

With Marvel's advance efforts, it is very important to maintain fans in advance.

At the same time, it also helps to help some people who don't usually pay much attention to TV learn about Iron Man.

With the development of the Internet, although it has not yet reached the age of video.

However, with the speed of the network at this time, pictures can already be supported. This progress has greatly promoted the development of the network.

At this time in the United States, there are already 30 million Internet users, which is definitely not a small amount.

Winning these audiences is crucial.

Below the forum, thousands of replies.

[expect! ]

[It's finally released, and I can't wait to see Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man appear together in one movie. ]

[・・]

These thousands of replies mean that this post has been viewed by at least hundreds of thousands of people.

In the Internet, there are always only a few people who like to speak.

Most people are watching silently.

This is just online promotion.

Chapter 263 Plot setting

Familiar routines, propaganda films, and advertising blockbusters bombarded.

grab people's attention.

Although there are many blockbusters released in July, countless advertising films fly together.

But thanks to the continued popularity of Spider-Man and Ghost Rider.

Gives Iron Man the attention he shouldn't have.

Under such crazy publicity, countless audiences were attracted by the movie and came to the cinema.

Familiar Los Angeles Studios.

Kevin, Robert Downey Jr., Nicolas Cage, and Jim Carrey, four influential celebrities in Hollywood, disguised themselves and entered the movie theater.

At this time, the four of them were sitting in the last row with popcorn and Coke.

Kevin, with a beard, looked at Robert Downey Jr. and laughed:

"I didn't expect you to be nervous, Donnie?"

Nicolas Cage also participated, grinning and saying:

"Yeah, this scene is worth remembering."

Jim Carrey also leaned in.

"How about we have a party to commemorate this scene tonight?"

Jim Carrey's character is actually very dull, and he really has no friends in the circle.

However, as he got acquainted with Kevin, under the leadership of Kevin, Jim Carrey also began to interact with these few friends.

The character is noticeably brighter.

For this, Kevin is very happy for him.

Comedy masters always have a dull, unsmiling look behind others.

So did Zhou, so did Jim Carrey, so did Bean and Chaplin.

This may have something to do with their sensitive hearts, and they can gain insight into the tragic experiences of more people at the bottom.

Their comedy is a comedy at first glance, but a tragedy inside.

Not those funny movies that make fun of themselves and think they are funny.
