Some media learned that Feng Yu had appeared in Los Angeles. It was said that he was here to check the progress of the film shooting. Unfortunately, it was impossible to interview him at all. Those bodyguards made it impossible for reporters to even get close.
MGM is shooting as many as four big-budget movies at the same time, and it also plans to distribute multiple movies on its behalf, looking menacing.
Other film companies in Hollywood look like they are facing a formidable enemy.
Although they say that neither Feng Yu nor Fengyu Holdings Group has ever invested in the film and entertainment industry, they have no experience and are extremely likely to fail.
But none of them dare to underestimate Feng Yu's magic. He has shocked the world more than once and done things that ordinary people can't do.
Who knows whether Feng Yu will succeed again this time
Even if it's only half successful, that's already awesome. If it also includes "Iron Man", it will be even scarier.
It shows that Marvel's movies will be very popular, and they can also drive sales of surrounding industries, and the profits will definitely be very considerable.
In particular, they heard that a subsidiary called Chinese Brothers invested by Feng Yu in the Mainland actually achieved a high box office of nearly 70 million RMB with an investment of 6 million RMB, and the movie has not yet been released. Woolen cloth.
Although it seems that 70 million RMB is nothing at all, less than 10 million US dollars, don't forget that the production cost, including publicity expenses, is less than 1 million US dollars.
This is not called success, so what is success
Feng Yu looked at the movie shooting in front of him, and he was very speechless. Are these people kidding
In front of a green screen, Robert Jr. is making various exaggerated movements. It is said that after computer synthesis, it is the assembly scene of Iron Man.
If you see a person performing very hard on his own, it will feel very ridiculous. In fact, the requirements for acting skills in this movie are not particularly high, but the cute and mean look portrayed by Robert Jr. in his previous life is still deeply remembered by many people.
Robert Jr. is also an artist with some bad records. He once had a dark history, and his image has not been reversed yet. Therefore, his salary is not high. Even though he is the leading actor, it is only US$500,000, while the villain's salary is US$4.5 million.
MGM's original plan was to sign a film contract with him first, and then see how it turned out before deciding whether to continue the cooperation.
But Feng Yu insisted on directly signing a ten-film contract with Robert Downey Jr. at an average salary of US$10 million per film. This seemed to others to be simply crazy.
First of all, let’s not talk about the premium. I have signed ten movies in a row. There are many risks here, including that Robert Jr. is not suitable for this role, or that the movie is released and there is no need to shoot a sequel, or that Robert Jr. breaks negative news again.
But Feng Yu knows very well that in the future, Robert Jr.'s salary will directly reach 50 million US dollars, the second highest salary in history, well, second only to Captain Depp.
Of course, this remuneration is not paid in one lump sum, but also increases gradually. For example, the current salary for this film is only US$500,000, but for the second movie, the salary has increased to US$2 million, and for the third movie, the salary is US$5 million...The tenth movie is US$15 million. .
This kind of increase was unexpected by everyone. Including Robert Jr. and his agent. After all, Robert Jr. is not a big star at this time.
Robert Jr. was not even considered a star at this time, and he had not had any worthy masterpieces for many years. So they considered this condition and signed it.
Of course, the contract also includes some other clauses, such as not necessarily getting all of their remuneration, and bonus clauses based on the box office amount, etc. Robert Jr. and the others only ask for these ten movies, and they must be in Filming was completed within ten years.
Feng Yu has asked for similar contracts to almost every superhero star. Such as the Hulk, such as Captain America, such as Thor, such as Black Widow, etc.
None of these people are particularly popular at this time, the Hulk actor is the most popular. They also quite approve of the contract signing method for multiple film contracts over many years.
In their view, this is equivalent to getting a stable job income. At least for the next ten years, it will be enough to ensure that they become close to the first-line stars in Hollywood. Where is their net worth
Even for a newcomer who stars in Captain America, the salary for his last movie will be more than 10 million US dollars, which is enough to make him a second-tier star. For a newcomer, this is already an extremely generous condition.
They all signed the contract happily. People at MGM and Marvel felt that they had suffered a huge loss. How could they be given such high salaries? Moreover, Iron Man has not yet been released. Who knows whether the movie will do well at the box office, so why did they sign long-term contracts with those actors in advance
But Feng Yu felt that he had made a lot of money. With the total contract price of these people, including bonus clauses, he could only shoot two Marvel blockbusters before he was reborn.
In this way, these artists are all grateful to Feng Yu, thinking that Feng Yu saved them, gave them such a good opportunity, and is so optimistic about them.
Among them, Robert Jr. is the most grateful to Feng Yu, because his salary has increased the most, and he has the longest film contract and the most credits.
I saw Feng Yu on the set today, and he came over specifically: "Mr. Feng, I am Robert Downey Jr., thank you for your appreciation of me and giving me such a generous contract."
These contracts are enough to ensure that he can transform from the middle class to the rich class in three years and become an enviable movie star again instead of an ordinary little actor.
"I just think you are very talented, so I think you will definitely bring a different performance to the role of Iron Man and make more people like Iron Man."
"The reason why I gave you the longest contract is because you are a father. I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as a father and stop taking the wrong path."
Feng Yu pretended to be a good person, which made Robert, who had been in despair for a long time, burst into tears of gratitude. He used to be a star very early, but later he fell to this point because he took the wrong path.
Feng Yu could give him such an opportunity and be so optimistic about him, how could he not be moved
In fact, Feng Yu also considered signing Depp, who was also the spokesperson of Fengyu Electrical Appliances. But Depp has already signed a contract with Disney. Fortunately, MGM participated in the investment and distribution of the next two Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
The income of movie stars in the United States now is not even as good as it was in the 1990s, because the movie industry is not as popular as it was then.
Just say that the seven major Hollywood companies are now merged and sold off.
In order to reduce risks, Disney agreed to cooperate when MGM extended an olive branch, and because they knew that Fengyu Holdings Group has the second largest theater chain and the most 3D screens in North America.
"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, I will perform well and live up to your trust!"
Feng Yu smiled and patted Robert Jr. on the shoulder: "Okay, I know you are short of money. The salary for your first movie was not high. In this way, I will give you another endorsement contract so that your life can get better as soon as possible. ."
Little Robert was even more moved. With his current condition, Mr. Feng was willing to give him an endorsement contract. Mr. Feng is such a good man!
