Chapter 419
"A very small character!" Kevin said casually, "Spider-Man!"
When Yang Yu heard this, he was in a bad mood.
Who is the most successful character in a superhero movie?
Without a doubt, Spider-Man.
As Marvel's own son, Spider-Man saved Marvel, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and sacrificed his life for righteousness.
Marvel sold the copyright of Spider-Man to Sony, which allowed it to survive.
And Sony brought Spider-Man to the screen and created the most successful superhero in history. Today, a total of eight individual movies have also created a record for superhero series films.
Although, this record has disappeared due to the appearance of Adams.
However, Yang Yu knew that because of Spider-Man's special settings, he became the most friendly superhero in history, not one of them.
More importantly, in the new Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man will be the superhero who opened the Marvel Universe, replacing Iron Man and becoming the opener of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Such an important role, Kevin actually called it a small role.
Yang Yu knew that Kevin did not underestimate this role, the reason why he said this was just to convince Yang Yu.
"No, Kevin, you should understand that it is impossible for me to play such an important role. You should know the reason. I can promise you to serve as a supporting role, similar to a clown. Do you understand?" Yang Yu's attitude was firm. .
"Boss, are you sure, the clown is a supporting role?" Kevin laughed, "Before that, I just talked with Dani on the phone. She plans to shoot an independent movie of the clown, plus the movies that the clown will participate in. In the next three years, the total No less than ten!”
"Damn it!" Yang Yu couldn't help cursing inwardly. Although he hadn't experienced the era when Yang Li Danni ruled the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, he had heard of it.
The characteristic of Yang Li Danni is to shoot an IP to death.
One of the representatives is the Young and Dangerous series. After the success of the first Young and Dangerous film, Yang Li Danni immediately produced a series of films, including ten feature films and no less than twenty spin-offs.
In Young and Dangerous, almost every character has his own independent movie.
However, what is surprising is that all of the ten feature films have become classics. Even if they are rumored, although there are bad films with poor reputation, none of them lose money.
Later director Wang, a great Hong Kong film director, perfectly inherited Yang Li Danni's ideas, and the world called Director Wang a film businessman.
However, compared to Yang Li Danni, Director Wang is nothing compared to Yang Li Danni, and compared to Yang Li Danni, he is not worthy of being called a film businessman at all.
"In addition, I also brought a message that you can't refuse!" While speaking, Kevin took out a document from the folder and handed it to Yang Yu, "Moorea, a famous singer in North America, Bi The most talented female singer after Anse, regardless of personal ability or appearance, is at the top level, some time ago, Jasmine contacted us, willing to play the heroine of the Spider-Man movie!"
"How is that possible!" Yang Yu immediately exclaimed, "Moorea, is that Moorea who is nicknamed Taylor Swift? Her appearance fee has exceeded our total investment. Do you want the audience to stare at Moorea's face? Watch 120 minutes?”
"The most amazing thing is here. Moorea offered to act with zero pay and only charge 3% of the box office!" Kevin said excitedly.
"How is it possible!" Yang Yu looked puzzled, but the contract in his hand could not be falsified.
An actress worth tens of millions is willing to play a supporting role and get zero pay to star in a Spider-Man movie. All fools know that the movie will be a hit just because of Moorea's influence.
"Xiao Yu, I like Spider-Man so much, you just agree!" Chen Meijia once again resorted to her housekeeping skills and brought her cuteness to the extreme.
As a gold agent, and through the teaching of Ding Haobo, Chen Meijia has changed from a supporting role to a leading role.
On many issues, Ding Haobo took the initiative to take a back seat and let Chen Meijia make decisions.
This time, it was Chen Meijia who brought Kevin here. Yang Yu thought that Chen Meijia was just a bystander, but he never thought that Kevin had already persuaded Chen Meijia to act as a lobbyist.
Due to emotion and reason, Yang Yu couldn't refuse Kevin's request, so he could only agree to play Spider-Man.
However, Yang Yu couldn't figure out why a world-class superstar starred in a Spider-Man movie with zero pay.
It is impossible for Yang Yu to let go of such an opportunity. Fortunately, Kevin is different from Yang and Li Danni. He has a strong control over the characters. He will not have more than three superhero movies, so the pressure on Yang Yu is not great.
Just after sending Kevin away, Chen Meijia called Yang Li Danni in front of Yang Yu, "Danni, it's your turn!"
"What are you doing!" Yang Yu immediately understood that these people had dug a big hole for themselves.
In the original historical trajectory, DC is obviously not as good as Marvel, and now the two companies belong to Yang Yu, Yang Yu naturally cannot sit back and watch DC decline.
Therefore, Yang Li Danni made a request to let Yang Yu play the role of the dc clown, and Yang Yu naturally couldn't refuse.
However, since both companies are owned by Yang Yu, one cannot treat the other more favorably than the other. Naturally, Marvel cannot be left out in the cold when playing the role of DC.
Therefore, Kevin, the president of Marvel, proposed that Yang Yu would play Spider-Man.
Playing Spider-Man in Marvel, but only playing the supporting role of the clown in DC, even though this supporting role is very brilliant, even more popular than the protagonist, it is still only a supporting role.
Obviously it was to support DC, but it turned out to support Marvel, how could Yang Li Danni agree.
So, there is the next thing.
"Honey, I hope you play Batman!" Yang Lidanni said.
"Are you stupid? Batman and the Joker are mortal enemies. I have to play two roles, and I have to fight myself. Will the audience accept it?" Yang Yu said angrily.
"If you don't agree, I can only use other methods to increase the popularity of DC, such as stir up scandals!" Yang Li Danni looked aggrieved.
"Where is there any scandal?" Yang Yu was puzzled.
"The lead actor slept with the female president, but ended up abandoning the female president and the flesh and blood in her stomach!" Chen Meijia couldn't even figure out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but she was very good at fabricating scandals.
In a few seconds, a gossip that was enough to top the hot search list was fabricated.
"I've prepared the photos!" As she spoke, Yang Li Danni took out a bunch of photos, all of which were intimate photos of herself and Yang Yu, including a few bedspreads, which were extremely popular.
If you think about it with your toes, you can guess that these photos are from P.
But Yang Yu knows that most of the time, the IQ of the onlookers is not as good as their toes, and the public will only believe what they want to believe. It just so happens that an employee sleeping with a female CEO is a scandal that the public likes to hear.
"You won, delete the photo quickly, I can promise you to play Batman, but I will only appear in one movie every year, don't expect more!" Yang Yu said.
Yang Li Danni was very excited, and immediately kissed Yang Yu's face, and then left the room proudly.
"Honey, I don't think she heard the second half of the sentence at all!" Chen Meijia said.
"It seems so, wait, why do you call me husband!" Yang Yu discovered a new problem.
"Honey, you haven't been with me for a long time..." As she spoke, Chen Meijia slipped into Yang Yu's arms, her face full of charm.
A few days later, Kevin and Yang Li Danni sent the script of the movie.
After Yang Yu read it, he modified many of the plots. After all, he has artist-level skills. Yang Yu's modifications, like the finishing touch, instantly added a lot of color to the work.
It is not uncommon in the entertainment industry for the leading actor of a movie to revise the script. However, most revisions require the approval of the director, screenwriter and producer.
The system of European and American companies is different from that of Middle-earth companies. Even if Yang Yu is the biggest boss, he needs the approval of the company's management before he can modify the script.
When Jobs was expelled from Apple, it reflected the characteristics of European and American companies.
Getting fired from the company he created with his own hands is unthinkable in Middle-earth, but it is common in the European and American worlds.
Jobs can sit at home and eat dividends, but he cannot dictate to his company.
