Hollywood legendary director

After the comic show, platforms such as Yahoo Community and Facebook were the first to become popular.

Especially those who have experienced it in person can’t help sharing their joy online, "...That’s too good to say, cycle after cycle, Marvel is going out of a different path, looking forward to " The Avengers"."

"What is the host talking about? I can't understand how, and, is "Avengers" a new Marvel movie?"

"Same question, did something happen that we didn't know."

After a series of question marks, another participant showed up and explained: "This is about what happened at the Golden State Comic Show yesterday. Marvel made a big move and dissed the next-door DC and announced that "Avengers" is about to start. And then said that from "Iron Man 1", "Invincible Hulk", "Thor", "Beauty Team" to "Iron Man 2", the narratives of this series of stages are mutually influencing and interdependent. Wei unified these stories into a chapter called "Infinite Legend"."

"WTF? The more I talk about it, the more I can't understand it, but the Easter eggs and foreshadowings produced by Marvel are quite coherent. Is this a unified staged narrative?"

"Marvel is amazing. The idea of ​​being able to fit into a framework is even more powerful. Is this a so-called redefinition?"

"I just want to know, who was the shadow group that "Thor" spoke to Loki at the end, and what was the scepter that he gave him?"

"The concept of Avengers is in the comics, but if you want to make a movie, obviously you have to adjust, and the timeline is different. I hope Marvel can change it."

"MCU?"

Nasim, a global executive who was originally lying on the boss chair listening to the report, sat upright and sighed secretly: "I don't think there are people in Marvel. It's a pity, it's a pity, how do you solve the problem of too scattered scenes... ...."

"Okay, I see, go out."

Obviously, Nasim doesn't think Marvel's MCU plan can succeed.

After all, it was Universal that first thought of related development and put it into action.

Remember the "Van Helsing" that was so fiasco that the lead actor Hugh Jackman didn't want to mention it?According to the initial planning of Universal, the benefits of this arrangement are obvious and genius ideas——

One of the typical elements of a movie is content creation, and its content production cost is very high, it cannot be controlled in advance, and the risk is still high. If you accidentally invest, it will be a waste.

You know, a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan may have a box office of over 1 billion yuan, and the gross profit may be less than 10 million yuan, and there are not enough underwear left. The gap has always been carefully considered by the film company. .Moreover, the success of a movie is difficult to completely replicate again, even if it is the same series, this one is a hit, and the next one may fail at the box office.

In other words, every movie can be seen as an independent event, and every movie has to start all over again.

As for how "Van Helsing" is made, the concept of Universal is also through a series model, with a main line pulling many screen images that were once hot and then quiet, giving them new value.

The significance of content filling lies in this. Even if "Van Helsing" loses the box office due to high cost, as long as it hits a monument and fans like it, they can use the classic images of Frankenstein, werewolves, and vampires in it to create benefits; if "Van Helsing" "The box office is selling well, so the copyright of other characters is more likely to succeed, because the plots of each other are interrelated and integrated, which transcends the shortcomings of independent movies, and each character can also become a carrier for attracting fans from each other.

Then, as everyone knows, "Van Helsing" was defeated, there were too many characters, and the unstructured and embarrassing plot trend also led to a large number of audience criticism.

What Nassim said is a pity that also stems from the idea of ​​Marvel and the former Universal, using the connection between the characters to expand the audience carrier, but there are many difficulties and no good results...

"Speaking very well and thinking very well, but there is no specific result to testify. Let's take a look again to see how this game is going."

Colombian boss Michael Linton held a document detailing the "MCU" plan in his hand, and said to Carlos, the general manager of the production department, "However, the development of the first few projects on Marvel's side is very smooth. , Even if it is messed up, it will not affect the value that the original character has developed."

"Last night, Lehman called me again to discuss the return of Little Spider." Carlos said with some enthusiasm: "They are now showing and wooing. Maybe we can also use Marvel's popularity to increase Little Spider's popularity. Value. Just like what you said, the president, Marvel has become a climate. It may not be a win-win situation. Each takes what it needs."

"Let's take a look." Michael Linton refused. He still had the idea of ​​independent development in his heart. He would go out without sharing a piece of the pie. Furthermore, the copyright business of Little Spider involves many melons, not just production. The department, the distribution department, and even the animation department, and even the parent company Sony attaches great importance to this decision. Once it is not done well, his position will be unstable. If we really wait for the day to rely on external stimulation, There will definitely be other people who will disagree and have to change.

After all, Marvel is not strong enough to be eye-catching. It can only be said that it did a good job. Both Lehman and Kevin are very capable and thoughtful leaders.

"Huh, it's just a fluke to succeed a few times."

Unlike other manufacturers, Warner CEO Kevin Tsujihara was angry with a bit of complaint when he learned of the news.

Yes, at the press conference, although Lehman didn’t elaborate on it, everyone knew who the so-called comic circle refers to-after shooting, refrigerating, and shooting again. There are no other examples except DC. After all, Even the part of Marvel's adaptations that sold the copyright is something after the new millennium.

So when the comic show is over, the hot search will be the countless versions of Batman comparisons that DC has filmed before. Warner definitely doesn't want this kind of topic that is set off and drained, but it is a fact and cannot be denied.

Of course, Lehmann's wording is not too biased, and even though Warner is upset, he won't turn his face over with a sentence or two.

Similarly, Warner did not pay too much attention to the "MCU" planning, and the unproven results are all imaginary to these big companies. They will only watch with cold eyes, just like "Avatar"-even "Vengeance" The success of "Zhezhe League" is nothing more than a meeting to analyze, and then copy the market concept.

Think about it, "Avatar" has brought the trend of 3D+IMAX to Hollywood, and what "Avengers" can bring to Hollywood is still unknown...
