In the presidential suite of the Jianguo Hotel in New York, the waiter was tidying up the bedding while glancing at the bedroom next door from time to time.
It was not surprising at all that the boss's daughter took a man to spend the night. After all, this is the prototype of Gotham City with simple folk customs. But what surprised her was that the man turned out to be "Asian."
Although she looked like a very, very rich person in terms of dress and temperament, she didn't expect that her capital was so high. When she was called to clean the room, she felt like she was cleaning a battlefield. Two of the four bedrooms were messy, so forget it. The living room , the bathroom is also a mess.
She was a dignified and elegant socialite, and a young and rich young man, but she was so wild and ferocious, almost like an African lion and a lioness in heat.
"Sir, your room is the only one that has not been cleaned."
The waiter cleaned up the garbage and finally walked to the door of Chaoli's bedroom without rushing in. He knocked on the door with a smile.
"This room, you can come back later."
Lu Fei buttoned the sleeves of his shirt, rummaged through Yin Fanka's LV bag, casually took out a few pieces of change and handed it over, "Thank you, this is your tip."
"Thank you, sir."
When the waiter saw the tip, he glanced at Yin Fanka happily and then at Lu Fei. Thinking that the boss's daughter had brought back a cowherd, he rolled his eyes with disdain, turned around and left with the trolley.
"It looks like it can be used four or five times. How about it? Do you like this gift?"
Yin Fanka put the lubricant back into her bag, opened her white bathrobe, and walked towards Lu Fei who was looking in the mirror with bare legs. She hugged his waist from behind and rested her chin on her shoulder. It was a rare moment for a little bird to cling to someone.
"What do you think?"
Lu Fei turned around and kissed her. He was very satisfied with her unique "welcome from the aisle", which was quite warm.
"Not together?"
Yin Fanka walked to the door of the bathroom, suddenly turned around and smiled with a crooked look in her eyes, her eyes were sultry, she held the door handle with her hand and pushed it open, as if she was inviting you in.
"time."
Lu Fei looked like a sage and poked his Girard-Perregaux Opera No. 3 watch, "In 15 minutes, Wen will knock on the door."
"It doesn't matter even for a minute. Women hope that men can be gentle for a while after getting out of bed. Unlike you, you want to put on your pants right away and not recognize him."
Yin Fanka stepped into the bathroom, "I paid for the room fee, tips, and even the money for the small umbrella. It's so heartless, Lu, you didn't do this when you pulled my hair!"
Everyone has the sage mode, don’t treat a moment as eternity.
Lu Fei put on his naughty little vest, came to the living room, took a sip of the warm milk, picked up a knife and fork and cut bacon.
After chewing slowly and shaking for a while, the sound of Mengdongdong sounded.
"Wine? Or water?"
Lu Fei led Wen Ziren to the bar. The wine cabinet behind him displayed various drinks, and the small refrigerator at his feet contained ice water and drinks.
"Ice water, thank you."
James Wan took out a thick stack of paper from his bag and said respectfully: "Sir, are you looking for me because of "Dead Silence"?"
Lu Fei smiled without saying a word and poured ice water into the cup.
Wen Ziren swallowed his saliva and said in a panic: "It is true that many companies, including New Line, have asked me to cooperate, but please don't worry, I don't think they will bypass Hantang. I have promised Yin Fanka before, really , sir, I promise!”
"Nais, Win, thank you."
Lu Fei snapped his fingers and raised his cup with a smile.
Wen Ziren clinked the glasses with his hands and took a sip down his throat. The cold water slowly calmed his brain: "Sir, I can't believe you are so busy that you would personally intervene in this matter."
"No, that's not why I'm looking for you."
Lu Fei looked away and put "Dead Silence" aside, "I plan to make "Iron Man". The director of this Marvel superhero movie, I hope it will be you."
"Ahem! Ahem!
"
Wen Ziren choked on the water, and while beating his chest hard, he said in disbelief: "What! You say it again?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "I never say something a second time."
James Wan apologized repeatedly, with a tone of disbelief: "Sir, you want me to make a Marvel superhero movie?" Then seeing him nodding, he asked, "Iron Man?"
Lu Fei noticed that he opened his sleeves and looked at his watch, and the corners of his mouth raised: "What, are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Oh no, can I confirm if today is April Fool's Day?"
Wen Ziren's shocked face looked a bit silly.
Lu Fei was speechless for a moment, "This film will be of A-level standards, but the budget I give you is about the level of "Spider-Man 1" and will not exceed US$150 million. Are you willing to take it?"
James Wan was excited at first, and then confused: "Uh, sir, why would you think of looking for me? I only have experience in directing two Saw films 1 and 2, and producing experience in Saw 3. I have never directed more than 2,000 films. For a movie that cost ten thousand dollars, I have never even been an assistant director..."
"Is that your problem?"
Lu Fei bluntly pointed out that Chinese-American faces are at the bottom of Hollywood's contempt chain, not only actors, but directors as well. Asian directors account for less than 3%, and Li An is the only one.
So he patted him on the shoulder: "Wen, what you lack is not ability, but opportunity."
"Sir, I, I..."
James Wan choked up instantly, "Isn't that right? I've been waiting for three years, just for a chance. It's not to prove how great I am, but in terms of ability, I'm no worse than the best!"
"You don't believe my vision, but you can't even have confidence in yourself, right?"
Lu Fei trusts Lu Fei very much. His film "Fast 7" is a classic in the series, and "Aquaman" has firmly established himself as the most cost-effective director in Hollywood. The effect can only be achieved with 300 million US dollars. "Aquaman" only cost a measly $160 million.
Guaranteed profit and quality, no one can compete with him.
James Wan was hesitant to speak, and was filled with worries. After all, this was both an opportunity and a danger. Once "Iron Man" hit the market, his future as a director in Hollywood would be almost over.
“Don’t worry about losing money.”
Lu Fei said nonchalantly: "It's nothing to lose a little money. I can witness the potential in your body being activated. That's enough. You don't even know how much energy you have. Don't be burdened. Han and Tang will still look for you to take pictures." Lots of movies.”
"gentlemen!"
James Wan was so excited that he almost cried.
Wen Piaoling has spent half his life, only regretting that he has never met the Ming Lord!
So I no longer hesitated and agreed decisively: "I'll take it. Do I need to write the script?"
"It's already being written, but you also have to get involved, because "Iron Man" is not just one film, but a series. The first part tells the story of a prodigal son turning back."
Lu Fei shook the cup and spoke loudly.
Some people were born as mules, and some were born in Rome.
Tony Stark is a playboy who inherited hundreds of millions of fortunes when he was born. He despises everything and cares nothing about power, reputation, or anything else, because he has the ability to make money.
It wasn't until he was kidnapped that he began to change. When he was trapped in a cave by terrorists and elements, he realized that without his glamorous appearance, he was just a mortal who could die at any time.
At this point, he suddenly woke up, reborn, and used the broken parts in the cave to build the first Iron Man mecha, relying on this to escape death.
The first thing he did when he escaped was to announce that Stark Industries would give up manufacturing weapons. From this moment on, he gradually understood the meaning of responsibility and determined to save the world in the name of Iron Man...
“With great power comes great responsibility?”
James Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up his pen and wrote in the blank space of the "Dead Silence" script.
"That's right."
Lu Fei talked about Iron Man 1 to 2, from character arcs to story plots, and even mentioned the advertising placement of logic products.
"The first part tells why he chose to be Iron Man, and the second part is about him dying because of his own invention, from giving up on himself to picking himself up and returning to 'Iron Man'. It's the same narrative as Tony Maguire's Spider-Man 1 or 2. You Do you understand what I mean?"
"Got it, it's awesome!"
James Wan couldn't wait to buy the complete set of Iron Man comics to supplement the storyline, but suddenly something came to mind:
"Sir, since you designed and brought this Tony Stark to life, why don't you just play Tony Stark?"
"I'm afraid I don't have the time. A guest appearance would be fine."
Lu Fei made a rough calculation, not to mention the time from fitness to practice, he would not be able to achieve attendance in the Marvel Universe in the future.
The key point is that this film already has a Chinese director, and if he takes over the role, it will still be a superhero movie. Unless he changes his nationality, there will be problems not only with the box office, but also with the film schedule.
Regardless of whether "The Wandering Earth" is ranked first or second, it doesn't even have 2% of the film schedules in the United States. In Hong Kong, no theater is even willing to schedule the film. It is in the same sky and on the same ground as "Tomorrow's War", and the two treatments are even more disgusting than "Man Jiang Hong" .
It’s so outrageous that her mother opened the door for her, so outrageous!
Seeking common ground while reserving differences? Haha, the same party opposes the different!
He can't buy a joke for 100 million and ruin the personality and character of the global technology hero that he finally established.
"That's such a shame. I think it's very suitable. You don't have to act. If you poke it there, it's just Tony Stark himself."
Wen Ziren breathed out a sigh of relief, as if regretful and fortunate.
"It's not a pity, but we can change the heroine of Little Pepper, and change the role to a Chinese actress."
Lu Fei disagreed. Although it was just a cameo, he still had a way to link himself to "Iron Man". If he couldn't become the "Tony Stark" in the movie, he would just be the "Iron Man" of Silicon Valley and even China.
"Sir, who do you think is appropriate to invite?"
Wen Ziren immediately understood.
Lu Fei mentioned Zeng Li without thinking.
Pepper is independent and intellectually strong, but Gwyneth, the "Oscar Queen" and "Hollywood's Most Hated Actress", has had a reversal of her reputation and her popularity has soared, making her the perfect stepping stone to Hollywood.
"I understand, sir."
Wen Ziren silently wrote it down and bent down slightly.
“The province belongs to the province, and the flower belongs to the province.”
Lu Fei explained a few more points before watching him leave.
"Haha, Lu, what did I hear?"
Yin Fanka walked out with a cold face, "You said you wanted me to be your 'little pepper', but now you turn your head to another Bichi. You are indeed Tony Stark himself, a bastard!"
"Hey, calm down!"
Seeing Yin Fanka carrying her bag angrily and leaving, Lu Fei grabbed her wrist, but she resisted extremely and tried hard to break away. He said angrily: "The next step is to treat me like Tony Stark does to women. When the 'garbage' is disposed of, let those little peppers of yours take over? Damn it, damn it..."
"Snapped!"
Lu Fei raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
With a crisp sound, Yin Fanka was completely stunned by the slap. She may have been confused by Mr. Lu's respect for women since getting along with her, and she had no idea that he had a ruthless side.
Although it didn’t hurt very much, even my father never hit me!
"Fake, do you think you are an actor sitting on the red sofa, or a Victoria's Secret with wings? You are a talented producer praised by Hollywood, and you are my partner, but you would be stupid for a small role. , you are a fool!"
Lu Fei roughly pulled her to his side, "If you admit it, ok, I'll help you, and you are indeed suitable, but if you want to be someone else's 'little pepper', haha, I don't mind."
Yin Fanka covered her cheeks and calmed down before realizing that she was jealous just now. She really shouldn't have any resentment because of a character.
But it was obviously his fault, so she looked away: "I'm not stupid, and I'm not wrong either."
"You are wrong, so wrong. I thought you were a smart woman. I have always thought so, but you have disappointed me so much. Your father is a failed real estate agent, but you are not even one-tenth as smart as him. I haven’t inherited it. Maybe you are smart, but you definitely have no overall perspective. Do you think this arrangement is just for me? Can’t you see that it’s for you!”
Lu Fei looked like he hated iron.
Yin Fanka was stunned, "For, for me?"
Lu Fei stared at her face, describing the grand blueprint of the "Marvel Universe" with reservation, and then turned to "China-US co-production":
"Do you know the nature of the branch? It is a Sino-US joint venture.
"Iron Man" will be a Chinese-American film that will be co-operated in every aspect from early planning and financial investment to script, casting, filming, publicity, release and derivatives. It will be the first truly Chinese-American film. Do you understand the value of co-producing a commercial blockbuster? Does the company still have value to you? "
"Lu, you've thought about everything a long time ago, right? It's been fine since the time you bought the Iron Man IP. Have you also thought about it, that I will voluntarily join your Han and Tang Dynasties?"
Yin Fanka has mixed emotions. "Iron Man" is likely to make her a first-line producer. It may also allow companies that rely on the Chinese market to get more introduction quotas, and be promoted to the same level as New Line and Lionsgate. Second-tier and even Hollywood superstars would fawn over her, which was much better than working for the family.
"Do you still mind letting 'Pepper' out?"
"Lu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was too superficial. Did I disappoint you?"
"Disappointed, but not very disappointed, otherwise it would just be a slap in the face." Lu Fei patted her back, "I just hope that I will never be completely disappointed with people. You are not an actor." , you will be the Hollywood strong woman above them, Amy Pascal, Anne Sweeney..."
When Yin Fanka heard that she was compared to the president of Sony Group and the vice chairman of Disney, her ambition was filled with suspicion: "Is it possible?"
"Do you know why I am so close to you?"
Lu Fei touched her blond hair, "Stature? Beauty? Money? No, it's intelligence paired with ambition."
"Really?"
It was the first time that Yin Fanka heard this from Mr. Lu, especially his affirmation with all kinds of reputations and reputations. For a moment, his whole body trembled with satisfaction.
"But that was you who was trained by me. Now you only inherit the cleverness of your father who went bankrupt a few times, haha."
Lu Fei raised a scornful smile.
"You! What do you want me to do?"
The former compliment and the later derogatory frustrate Yin Fanka's self-confidence. She felt something was wrong, and her brain shut down, as if she was being censored by someone.
"Drink some water first and let your real daddy help you make a cold compress to calm down."
Lu Fei pushed the ice water he drank over.
