Chapter 643: Turning point in life

Leaving the cafe, Jessica Felton got into a red car parked on the side of the road. After driving some distance, she found a place to stop, and took her mobile phone to dial a number.
"It's me, I just met Susan Levine, I have said everything that should be said." Jessica Felton was somewhat dissatisfied: "Ronan, I'm very surprised why I did this for the first time. Does it feel good?"
A familiar voice came from the phone: "Because you only need to tell the truth, you don't need to lie."
Jessica Felton thought for a while and said, "It seems like this."
What she said to Susan Levine was all truthful, not half a lie. The crew and Ronan’s views on Robert Downey Jr.’s audition, the project’s future prospects, etc. were all true.
"Thank you, Jesse." said the other side of the phone.
Jessica Felton said: "You're welcome." She then asked: "Ronan, these situations will aggravate the desire of Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Levine for Iron Man?"
"That's right or wrong, they themselves are very eager for Iron Man, otherwise they would not find someone to inquire about the audition results." Ronan simply explained: "I just want Robert Downey Jr. to sign a long-term contract willingly. approximately."
Jessica Felton changed her hand to hold the phone: "A dozen film appointments, it's crazy."
There was another voice in the earpiece:
That’s why I asked you for help. Although Robert Downey Jr. is now down, he is the son of the old Robert Downey, and friends such as Mel Gibson. The actors who are really popular are different."
Jessica Felton is also a producer, understands the meaning of this, the latter is often willing to pay any price in order to become famous.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Jessica Felton said with a smile: "Ronan, you owe me a big meal."
"No problem, I will invite you to dinner another day."
After hanging up the phone, Jessica Felton put her phone away, glanced down, and adjusted her seat back with a slight distress. Her chest was always against the steering wheel. She was really worried.
Susan Levine walked out of the cafe, made a few consecutive phone calls, and went to meet an experienced assistant producer in the circle who had worked with Shahai Entertainment, and then drove to North Hollywood to pick it up. Robert Downey Jr. went back to Malibu’s home.
Entering the house, the unmarried couple immediately discussed about "Iron Man."
Robert Downey Jr. asked: "Is there any news on the audition results?"
"I asked a few people about the relationship, and the responses were basically the same." Susan Levine looked at Robert Downey Jr. with relief in her eyes: "Kevin Fitch and Ronan Anderson agree that you The audition effect was very good, and the fit with Tony Stanco was very high. There was even a voice in the crew, so we no longer have a second audition, and directly talk to us about the Iron Man actor contract."
Robert Downey Jr.'s gloomy eyes lit up instantly, as if a pedestrian sinking into the darkness at the bottom of the valley saw the guiding light: "Really?"
Susan Levine stroked Robert Downey Jr's cheek with distress, and said: "We have verified the news and it should be true, but it should not be too optimistic. It is said that Tom Cruise and Nicholas Cage are also interested. This role."
"They?" Robert Downey Jr felt that the guiding light in front of him was flickering and dimming: "Can I compete with them?"
Susan Levine knows the situation of her fiance: "I haven't worked hard, how can I know if it will work?" She changed the subject appropriately. Because Robert Downey Jr. is still in drug rehabilitation, his emotions are not easy to produce too much ups and downs, so he quickly distracted him : "Did you see Mel Gibson?"
"I saw it." Robert Downey Jr. frowned: "Mel suggested that I don't cooperate with Ronan Anderson. Even if I cooperate, I must be cautious."
Susan Levine had heard about Mel Gibson, so she never liked this friend of the fiance because she was Jewish.
And from a rational point of view, there really is no better chance for Robert Downey Jr.
As a producer, he can still be the producer of the vice president of the production company. Susan Levine has a professional judgment on the roles and actors, although she will not take the initiative to speak, so as not to involve Robert Tang Jr. Ni’s scars, but there is a clear judgment in his heart, Tony Stark’s personality and character are simply tailored for Robert Downey Jr.
In the situation of Robert Downey Jr., he can never withstand any failure...
No one knows better than her that the fiancé is not reconciled, and even dreams back in the middle of the night.
According to the news from Jessica Felton and a few others, Susan Levine is very sure. The crew, Kevin Fitch and Ronan Anderson are all optimistic about Robert Downey Jr., but Robert Don Jr. If Nepal wants to win, he still needs to fight hard.
Against Nicholas Cage and Tom Cruise, what are the advantages of Robert Downey Jr.?
Robert Downey Jr. said again: "Mel just worked with Ronan Anderson this year, what he said..."
"Downey, have you considered a problem?" Susan Levine rarely interrupted Robert Downey Jr.: "Mel Gibson is having serious problems with Ronan Anderson and his Relativity Entertainment Group. Is there any bias in what he said about Ronan Anderson? Is the position neutral enough? Is it based on self-interest?"
Robert Downey Jr. thought about the lawsuit that Mel Gibson had just lost and didn't know how to answer.
Susan Levine said: "Frankly speaking, is Ronan Anderson really wrong with Mel Gibson? Before the film went viral, all the risks belonged to Embassy Pictures; the box office went viral, regardless of the contract. It is necessary to demand large profits outside the contract..."
Like his good friend Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr. also believes in Susan Levine. In the hardest and darkest years of 2003, Susan came together with him.
Because of love.
"What about your suggestion?" Robert Downey Jr. asked.
"Downey." Susan Levine put her fiance's face in both hands, and said with distress, "We actually don't have a better choice."
Robert Downey Jr. said: "There are also Nicholas Cage and Tom Cruise."
Susan Levine shook her head: "Don't worry, leave it to me to talk. Our biggest problem is not them, but the appointment." She accurately grasped the key point: "A dozen movies are too long."
Robert Downey Jr. saw that his fiancee was a little heavy, and he said half-jokingly: "It's like I'm going to sell it to Marvel Entertainment."
Susan Levine added: "According to what I have learned, Downey, we want to fight for this role. It is impossible not to compromise on the long-term contract."
Robert Downey Jr. nodded slightly.
As a producer, Susan Levine can look at this issue in a realistic way: "Ronan Anderson has developed a long-term plan for Marvel Entertainment. I don’t know what it is, but with his ability, I believe this plan is extremely feasible. In our case, signing a few more films may not be a bad thing."
Apart from Marvel Entertainment and Ronan Anderson, who dares to invite Robert Downey Jr. to play the leading actor now?
Susan Levine continued: "I have also inquired about the specific circumstances of the film contract. The maximum remuneration ceiling is set at 20 million US dollars! This is a treatment only for top Hollywood stars."
She was also very dissatisfied when she heard about a dozen film appointments at first, but when she heard the capped pay, she felt that a long appointment might not be a bad thing.
How many people in Hollywood can get 20 million dollars in salary? Besides, in the case of Robert Downey Jr...
According to Ronan Anderson's production success rate, after Robert Downey Jr. starred in several films, it might soon rise to 20 million US dollars.
Robert Downey Jr. was also moved: "20 million dollars."
"When I negotiate with the crew, I will talk about the pay." Susan Levine said: "I will try to keep the film contract within ten."
The two names of Nicholas Cage and Tom Cruise are not only Robert Downey Jr., Susan Levine also has tremendous pressure because Robert Downey Jr. past years, this year, and even the future For many years, there was no choice at all.
Regardless of the others, Susan Levine resolutely chose love and joined Robert Downey Jr., but who doesn't want her choice to become even better?
Even if you choose Marvel wrong, can it be worse than it is now?
Ronan Anderson! Because of the same producer, Susan Levine knew that Ronan Anderson was unique in Hollywood, and how rare it was to cooperate with Ronan Anderson.
Even Jessica Felton, a big-chested and cumbersome paranoid technical woman, can succeed, not to mention Robert Downey Jr. who has changed his mind to righteousness?
Not seeing the value of this cooperation, seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s only chance, Susan Levine will not cheekily go to Jessica Felton, who has not been in touch for many years.
Robert Downey Jr. is not so decisive. Perhaps he used to be a brave person, but drugs are a kind of destruction to people’s will and spirit~EbookFREE.me~ In addition, Mel Gibson has rescued and suffered several times The potential influence of the friends between him on Robert Downey Jr. is not insignificant.
Although I understand the truth and know that between Mel Gibson and Relativity Entertainment, Mel Gibson broke his promise, but Robert Downey Jr. still has doubts.
This kind of doubt comes from friends, from the ravages of drugs, and from the lack of self-confidence caused by many difficulties after being released from prison.
Today's Robert Downey Jr. is neither as high-spirited as Chaplin, nor as decadent as he was in jail, nor is he as dazzling as he once became famous.
Robert Downey Jr is standing at a turning point in his life.
Perhaps Robert Downey Jr. didn't clearly realize it, but Susan Levine saw it very clearly.
The conditions are harsher, but the opportunity is the best.
At least for Robert Downey Jr., this is the case.
