The contract signed between Marvel Entertainment and Robert Downey Jr. will definitely change in time in the future and it will not be constant. However, with this agreement, just like Captain America and Thor, the pay will be held in a relatively reasonable position, rather than a super sky-high price, and it is impossible for a rumored single pay of $70 to 80 million.

With a long appointment, Marvel Entertainment has a certain initiative.

However, long contracts will also have negative effects. Once the actor contract expires, the possibility of continuing to cooperate will be smaller.

Regardless of the pay, it will inevitably arise.

If the movie succeeds one after another, it can bring a lot of money to the starring actor and become a popular movie star. However, if you play a role all year round, you will inevitably experience psychological burnout after making a lot of money.

If the actor himself has a little ambition, he will definitely find ways to start a career other than superhero movies.

To put it in a very positive sentence: long-term acting in super-English movies cannot bring breakthroughs to the acting career, and most visionary actors will seek change after making enough money.

When it comes to the producer, even if the actors have restrictions on long-term contracts, they will need to keep increasing their salary as the movie is successful. When the actors' pay is high to a certain extent, replacing newcomers can reduce a large part of the pay expenses.

Of course, there will be actors who choose to continue to work together.

After all, most actors are finally able to give them successful commercial movies to fame and income.

Moreover, many actors have dropped more than two levels from their roles in a successful series, from fame to appeal.

With Marvel Entertainment officially signing a contract with Robert Downey Jr., Ronan, who has not appeared, also took time to meet Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Levine.

It was a very ordinary meeting, just like the producer meeting other actors, as if Ronan did not pay special attention to Robert Downey Jr.

Ronan, even Marvel Entertainment CEO Avi Arad, never appeared in the negotiation and signing with Robert Downey Jr., just conveyed a message to Robert Downey Jr.: We don’t pay special attention to you, and Iron Man is not necessarily you.

To be honest, who did Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. make who made who?

From Ronan's own point of view, he is slightly biased towards Robert Downey Jr., which is a suitable role. At the most appropriate time, he met the most suitable actor.

But no one can ignore the huge role Susan Levin played in the middle.

So, when meeting, Ronan's eyes were more focused on Susan Levine.

"Ms. Levine, I've heard people talk about you a long time ago." Ronan shook hands with Susan Levine: "I've seen "The Cradle of the Deadly" and "The Ghost Man" you made, very outstanding works."

Susan Levine said politely: "You can't compare with Mr. Anderson. I can't make any achievements."

After saying that, she laughed: "This time I can cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, Donnie and I..."

Susan Levine pushed Robert Downey Jr. to the front stage at the right time, looking completely unmarried: "We are very honored that Mr. Anderson is willing to provide this opportunity, and Downey has always wanted to thank him in person."

This is undoubtedly a very smart woman and also knows the laws of survival in Hollywood very well.

Robert Downey Jr. stepped forward at the right time and shook hands with Ronan with a smile: "Mr. Anderson, this is our second meeting. Thank you very much for giving you the opportunity to play Iron Man."

Ronan shook hands with him: "You're welcome, after all, you performed very well in the audition, which impressed Kevin."

Robert Downey Jr. said: "Anyway, I will always be grateful to Mr. Anderson and Relativity Entertainment Group."

Ronan was no longer polite and said directly: "Then let us cooperate happily for a long time."

Robert Downey Jr. said quickly: "I will do my best for Iron Man."

Susan Levine said in time: "Donny has already started to prepare for the preliminary stage."

Ronan could see that time and energy had changed Robert Downey Jr., and Chaos's mind was clear.

More importantly, Robert Downey Jr. has a very outstanding fiancée.

"I believe this." Ronan said with a smile.

He couldn't help but glance at Susan Levine, afraid that this woman is the key to Robert Downey Jr.'s change.

This Jewish woman is not tall and has a low appearance. At least it is very difficult to enter the second level in Hollywood, where there are many beautiful women, but her vision is terrifyingly good.

To a certain extent, finding a husband is like an investment. Susan Levine undoubtedly invested in a super potential stock, and when the super potential stock has no sign of bursting, he has suppressed the chips.

Ronan remembers watching the behind-the-scenes footage of "Detective Sherlock Holmes". Guy Ritchie specifically mentioned the couple Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey at that time, saying that the marriage between Downey and Susan was the most perfect "symbiotic marriage" in Hollywood. They had many experiences together.

She also said that Susan is a very sensible producer. She could see that Downey has good potential and found that Downey was not as unbearable as she imagined, and even thought his person was a little cute.

When signing Robert Downey Jr., Ronan will naturally not forget "Detective Sherlock Holmes". As early as when the project "Iron Man", Robert Lee's people specifically searched for the situation about "Detective Sherlock Holmes", but it is unlikely to win the copyright.

The former "Detective Sherlock Holmes" was not an original movie, but a comic adaptation. Robert Lee's people found that the comic has been published and the copyright is in the hands of the original author Leonard Wigram.

When he heard this name, Ronan felt that he could not get the relevant adaptation copyright.

Because Leonard Wigram has worked with Warner Bros., the identity of a comic writer is only a part-time job, and his real career is Hollywood screenwriter and producer. He has currently participated in the screenwriter and production of three Harry Potter movies and several Warner Bros. movies.

To be precise, Leonard Wigram is a weakened version of Charles Rowan.

Moreover, "Detective Sherlock Holmes" was successfully published, and Warner Bros. made a lot of efforts in it, and Leonard Wigram even signed a copyright priority sale agreement with Warner Bros.

Unless Warner Bros. doesn't want it, Leonard Wigram won't sell the copyright to other film companies.

Robert Lee just made contact with Warner Bros. and retreated, not disturbing Leonard Wigram and Warner Bros. for the time being.

Of course, the subject matter and copyright of Sherlock Holmes are open, and any film company can shoot related works, but the plot and setting of the movie that used to be basically the same as the comics. If you don’t get the copyright, you will definitely have copyright troubles when shooting related movies.

As for other types of Sherlock Holmes movies, Ronan was not interested.

There are sixty or seventy movies about Sherlock Holmes, but few have been successful in the past twenty years.

Ronan still remembers that there is a very famous British drama about Sherlock Holmes, and it is said that it is favored by the charity drama type, but he has never watched it. He knows that the drama also starred in "Doctor Strange" because the male lead.

Once upon a time, Holmes seemed to have almost become Folmes.

Even "Detective Sherlock Holmes" is no exception. For example, the two main female characters in the film are forced into it to clarify their sexual orientation...

The Folmos in this film lacks similarity with the characters written by Conan Doyle. Although Conan Doyle was a boxer when he was young, if he saw Sherlock Holmes fighting with a man with bare hands and feet, he would definitely collapse.

The meeting between the two sides only lasted for more than ten minutes. When they said goodbye and left, Susan Downey fell behind, as if they had something to say to Ronan.

"He is incredible with many conflicting personalities, but he has returned to the right track." Susan Levine knew very well that Ronan was the one who really decided the fate of Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man this time. He said specifically: "Downey is a bit weird, but he is definitely down-to-earth now. He has experienced the bitterness and sorrow of life and has grown up and matured."

Ronan smiled and said, "I believe Donny can bring a successful Tony Stark."

The words are beautiful, but no terms in the contract should be loose.

In addition to the top reabsorbing clause, Robert Downey Jr.'s contract also has many regulations that must be followed.

For example, during the non-competition clause, during the cooperation with Marvel Entertainment, Robert Downey Jr. was not allowed to star in movies adapted from the works of members of five major comic companies such as DC and Dark Horse.

There are many other restrictions.

Re-shooting must be on call; once the movie is completed, you must go to the world to promote it and walk the red carpet for the premiere; your personal image is completely changed and commercialized; you must eat and exercise; you must pay attention to the image and not do stupid things in reality; you have no right to suggest characters and plots; difficult action scenes must be handed over to stunt actors; you cannot make any spoilers in any form before the film crew has instructed them; you must maintain a body shape that matches the character...

These are not only for Robert Downey Jr., but also for all the Marvel actors who came later.

Once Marvel joins, it must be followed, and the restrictions on new actors may even be far more than Robert Downey Jr.

Anyway, Robert Downey Jr. is somewhat capitalized.

With Robert Downey Jr. in place, Marvel Entertainment settled Don Chandell as fast as possible as the actor of "Gears of War".

The black actor also signed a total of up to ten films with Marvel Entertainment, with the first film paying only $200,000.

As for the heroine, the crew plans to solve it through auditions.

However, many actresses expressed their interest in private, many of whom even contacted Ronan through various relationships.
