America's Road to Fame

Chapter 537 Has Been Succeeding

But one thing is that you can trust the female star's body management ability, just like when William Chen saw Angelina again, her figure has completely recovered the curve that makes people's eyes stop.

Angelina has been a little rebellious since she was young, and until now, she is still a relatively maverick among Hollywood actresses.

It was as if until now, Angelina still insisted on bringing her and Chen William's son, Chen Anran, by her side, instead of following the other party's proposal to stay in the City of Liberty on Atlanta.

However, William Chen also respects her thoughts on this. For Angelina, who is keen on public welfare, since she is not interested in the shares and property he gave her—after all, as a first-line actress, Angelina is only By herself, she is enough to provide Chen Anran with a favorable growth environment.

William Chen finally decided to hand over the charitable ambassador of the Caitlin Foundation and part of the charitable donations that will be used overseas to Angelina's team, so that at least she would be more acceptable.

As for the relationship between William Chen and Angelina, it was discovered by the media when William Chen’s plane lost contact and Angelina also appeared on Atlanta Island. The child was born in secret, so the news that Angelina gave birth to William Chen's illegitimate child once caused an uproar.

Regarding these matters, neither Angelina nor William Chen responded to relevant interviews and questions, and William Chen is also using his influence to suppress this kind of news, so after a period of time After that, guesswork only exists as guesswork...

After entering the Internet age, speech seems to be more free, and even many self-media have emerged. They use various platforms such as twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Live and even Reddit to publish information, analysis, and comments.

But in fact, it is always capital that controls public opinion.

I allow you to speak, but I will not give you heat.

Through the control of algorithms and control of these platforms, even if you send out certain content, your friends, followers, and even other people will not be able to see it, and it will become meaningless network bytes.

……

If the first two films of "Iron Man" only confirmed the success of Marvel movies, then the movie "Avengers" announced the coming of an era.

Because in this world, William Chen helped Marvel to take back more superhero copyrights, so this "Avengers" is stronger than the previous life. In the end, the first "Reunion" won the North American 7.5 million U.S. dollars, a super high box office of 19 billion U.S. dollars worldwide, shocked everyone.

At the same time, drawing on the experience of previous lives, at the very beginning, Marvel Studios signed contracts with superhero actors for at least 10 series of movies in one go, thus maintaining the continuity and control of the Marvel Universe. cost of remuneration.

The most typical ones are the actors of Iron Man and the American team. Among them, Robert Jr., the actor of Iron Man, was caught in a series of scandals when he was first chosen to play the role of "Iron Man". The role of "Iron Man" saved his acting career.

However, in his previous life, Robert Jr. only signed a contract with Marvel for 5 series of films, including the "Hulk" independent film that only appeared in it for 2 minutes. , the other party raised the price and asked for a substantial increase in the film salary.

You must know that the Marvel universe is composed of many superheroes. If everyone does this, then the overall film salary will be sky-high. With so much expenditure, the pressure on the final box office will also increase.

So in the end, he was forced to have no choice but to let Iron Man "die"...

Therefore, at the beginning of the layout of the Marvel Universe, William Chen proposed and strongly advocated that actors who participated in the superheroes of the Marvel Universe films must sign contracts for at least 10 series of films at the beginning, and the main heroes, The number of series film contracts is even higher. Of course, it is not just to squeeze the actors with low prices. The contract will stipulate that follow-up films will maintain a certain growth rate, but it will not allow a large price increase to threaten the company.

As for whether the other party will agree, it is very simple, such as "Iron Man", there are many cards that Marvel can play now, and the core of "Avengers" can also be Spider-Man...

Besides, the Marvel Universe itself has a strong mass base, and there is no need to use too big-name stars. The competition in Hollywood is fierce. You are not willing to bind yourself to a character, but you are willing to do so if the appearance fits Actors, there are many.

So now, even though the Marvel universe has reached the predetermined goal, Marvel Studios still has the initiative, and will no longer worry about actors threatening the crew to increase their pay, or resigning because they are tired of the role situation occurs.

And the reason William Chen was so important to his business empire that when he lost contact, the entire business empire was once in chaos was because his influence on these industries was not just as simple as holding a majority of the shares.

It is precisely because his decisions have always been proven to be correct, so even though many companies are now mainly managed by managers, the other party attaches great importance to his instructions, and even has some reliance—you As long as you keep succeeding, your prestige will never be increased.

The emergence of this situation has advantages, but there will naturally be disadvantages.

But at the current stage, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it still has a very positive effect on the stability of William Chen's status.

It's like Bill Gates to Microsoft, Jobs to Apple, and Boss Ma to Ali.

Even if they retire and are not in that position, their influence on the entire company is enormous, and it can be said that they have become the spiritual leaders of the entire group.

More importantly, William Chen is only 24 years old now and can do this, which is why Bill Gates and the others admire William Chen so much.

In addition to the Marvel universe, [-]th Century MGM Pictures has performed well in other IP films. In addition to the upcoming "Twilight", the female film "The Hunger Games" is also popular. Opened up a new IP for it.

It can be said that among the six major Hollywood companies, Disney and MGM in the [-]th Century will take turns to sit on the throne; while the other four companies can only occasionally have a sense of presence.
