"Iron Man, the first superhero movie after Empire Pictures acquired Marvel, has just bought back the rights to the big-screen adaptation from New Line Cinema, and the investment has reached 1.5 billion US dollars. It's great to see It can be seen that Dr. Lee is optimistic about this series. However, despite the fact that Tom Cruise and others were interested in starring, the final choice of the male lead was given to Robert Downey Jr., who had previously been involved in a drug scandal. Robert Downey Jr. claims that he has completely given up drug abuse, but over the past ten years, many times, and his current state, many people have questioned it, which also makes people curious about the reasons for this decision. , but Dr. Lee, who is in Seoul, South Korea, has not received any response" - "Hollywood Report". Of course, Lee Chung-hee was too lazy to respond to reporters. He didn¡¯t need to explain to others what decisions he made. Robert Downey Jr. completely quit drug addiction at the beginning of this year. He also married a producer. That was the real beginning of his change of ways. Lee Chung Hee also believed in him. "It's not good to take drugs, but it's better than selling them or committing crimes. What he ruined is himself. Since he can change his mind now, that's of course the best." Furthermore, the topic effect will undoubtedly make more people pay attention to "Iron Man". Even if 3 ¡ú this series is destined to be successful, more attention will definitely be received when he comes forward and makes a statement. Better results. After the Empire Group acquired Marvel, it has split Marvel into two parts, one part is owned by Empire Pictures, and the other part is owned by Empire Publishing. Actually, things are not going well for Marvel right now. Successful superhero. Basically, the big screen rights have been sold to other companies. ??For example, "Iron Man". The film rights for this comic were already acquired by Universal in 1990, but due to issues such as market prospects, the project has been shelved. This is also normal. Many film and TV series production companies will carefully buy the copyright, but the actual filming accounts for less than a few tenths, or even one percent. Some works. After buying it, it¡¯s normal not to take pictures for the rest of your life. "Iron Man" was just like this. It was kept on the shelf. Then, in early 1996, 20th Century Fox Film Company became interested in this heroic character, and also hired Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise, who were very popular at the time. et al. ¡°However, the project was approved many times, but in the end it was not successful. Finally, it was the end of the last century. Quentin Tarantino has basically completed the script of "Iron Man", but 20th Century Fox Film Company, because of its cooperation with New Line Cinema, incidentally transferred the filming rights to the other party. This brought the relationship between Quentin Tarantino and 20th Century Fox Film Company to a freezing point. Now, "Iron Man" has returned to Marvel from New Line Cinema, or to Empire Pictures. Then, starting from "Iron Man", Marvel's superhero movies will become the biggest success in the entire world film industry in the next ten years. However, at this time, basically no one realizes this. "Iron Man" has entered the operation period of the production project, but it is just one of the films to be released by Empire Pictures next year. For Lee Chung-hee, there is nothing special. He is still staying in Seoul and has officially begun preparations for the movie "The King", in which he will be the leading actor. This news is more sensational than "Iron Man". After all, this is another film in which he will star in person, and it is an absolutely pure Korean film. Before, whether in "My Sassy Girl" or "Sunny Sisters", ", "Strange Her" and other Korean movies, he is just soy sauce. And "Inception" is, after all, a Hollywood-style movie. In this regard, not only the Korean people, but also the media from other countries are very interested. After Lee Chung-hee rested leisurely for more than a month, he held a small press conference on the production of "The King". However, although it is a production press conference, except for the leading actor and director, no other candidates have been decided. The press conference was held in the afternoon, which allowed him to spend the morning leisurely, have lunch, take a lunch break, drink coffee and play word games with these reporters during the afternoon tea time. Even if the first question has nothing to do with this press conference, he doesn't care. "There is quite a lively discussion outside about Robert Downey Jr., what do you think?" Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "Don't ask me, you should first ask George Clooney, the director of "Good Night, and Good Luck", how could he A drug addict made a film that was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture!¡± Looking at his attitude, everyone knew that he was not happy with the question, so they turned away from it. At this time, the host also very wisely called his family, a reporter from the "People's Gazette". "People's Gazette" is a newspaper officially published nationwide by Empire Entertainment this summer. It has been in preparation since the beginning of last year and took a year and a half to build. Although it has just started, it has received a lot of attention. After all, it was started by Dr. Li's company himself. But the "People's Gazette" is still very low-key, at least for the time being. Although its circulation after crazy gifts is included, it is almost the same as the "Joongang Ilbo" controlled by Samsung. "I heard that "The King" tells the story of King Gwanghae. This is a king who has mixed reputations and reputations in history. Everyone is curious, why don't you choose the even greater King Sejong to write a script and play that great king? "That's a good question?" Li Zhengxi smiled and gave the other party encouragement before continuing: "Well, as you just said, King Sejong is very great, which will undoubtedly make everyone more picky. I will also be under a lot of pressure. Before I fully understand and master the great monarch, I think I should be more cautious. As for Gwanghae Jun, I actually accidentally saw some unofficial history and found it very interesting. , the duality of this character also creates more conflicting tension in drama, allowing more room for imagination. ¡°Well, one more thing, what I am writing now is not a serious biography of an emperor, but an interesting story. At the same time, it tells some life truths in the story. If it is too serious, I don¡¯t want it to be too serious. That¡¯s why I chose Gwanghae Jun" ""The King" is a purely Korean movie, so Hollywood. Will there be any type of production next year? Some people say that your Hollywood works seem to be getting less and less? ""ABC" "Is this what you said?" Li Zhengxi laughed dumbly, "Since 2001, I There is at least one Hollywood movie every year, and as many as two. People like me are already very productive. " "You say there are few Hollywood movies. We here also say that I have never made a Korean movie. Over in the UK, I am very productive. "Lotter Holmes", they said that I should make some British-style movies, and Japan and China have long said that I should make some movies with their local characteristics." Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "I'm just one person!" "But, People say it only takes one month to make a movie!¡± A reporter from the Los Angeles Times said: ¡°So, it only takes six months to make six movies a year!¡± ¡°You are a rookie, you just got into this industry! "Okay," Li Zhengxi said with a smile: "But, man, since you are in this industry, you should understand the most basic knowledge. A movie is not only the shooting process, but also the preparatory work, post-production, etc. I shoot. It¡¯s fast because I don¡¯t want accidents other than performance to occur during the filming process, which will waste the actors¡¯ time and energy. Therefore, I will do more work in the early stage of preparation, which usually takes two to three months for a director. , it may take me four or five months, and then the post-production will also take two to three months. Now, do you know how long a movie takes? Do you understand? If you understand, don¡¯t say this in the future. It's embarrassing! " ""The King" is a more Korean movie. Will it be released globally? ""Of course," Li Zhengxi nodded, "I think good movies do not respect national boundaries." To be honest, "The King of Two Faces" "The King of Faces" is not a particularly outstanding work, but it cannot stand up to his current popularity. In this era, fans have an increasing influence on the entertainment industry, and his popularity is even more incredible. Therefore, from now on, it is the time for him to slowly start exporting Korean and Chinese culture to the world. "The King" is just a small representative of it. In a word, according to the "New York Times", as long as it is starring him, film producers around the world will readily pay for it without seeing the samples, and they are afraid that if they pay too little or pay too slowly, the opportunity will be gone. This is caused by the madness of fans. To put it bluntly, even if it is a super bad movie, there will definitely be enough people to support it. "Can you tell us about your plans for next year?" "British BBC", "Will the success of "Charlotte Holmes" make you have more plans for the UK?" Li Zhengxi smiled, "Well, next year I¡¯m not sure about it yet, because it¡¯s not decided by me alone. It still needs to be discussed with my brokerage team and some related colleagues in my company before the details can be revealed. That will probably take until Christmas. " "Well, roughly speaking, "Avatar" will be released in the summer, which has been confirmed, and then "Double-Sided" will be released."King", you should also know that recording is something I will spend a lot of time on next year, and even the year after that I will continue to produce the lyrics and music I have been invited to do. " At this point, he suddenly smiled and shrugged, "Oh, there will probably be a love movie, well, it will be next year. I have already written the script, and I am quite excited. But because I am too excited, So I have to let myself calm down for a while before I dare to officially try it! " Wow, when he said this, others became even more excited. In other words, it seems that he has not been involved in the most innocent love movies in the past two years. Regarding this, many fans still miss his previous works.
