Chapter 2052 2054 [The Avengers]
Xiang Nan knew that Melanie Laurent was a talented woman who liked to study acting and create. So he did what he liked and talked to her about creation.
He is no stranger to creation. In the world of "Little Shede", he lived until the 2070s. He basically watched all the excellent film and television dramas produced at that time, which is nearly half a century ahead of today's Hollywood.
Therefore, for him, there are so many good stories that he can never write or shoot. Therefore, facing Melanie, he has half a century of knowledge crushing, and it is naturally easy to conquer her.
Melanie was also quickly impressed by Xiang Nan's talent, and his admiration for him was almost complete.
Xiang Nan also invested in her new film "Kiss My Love", which tells a love story with twists and turns.
…
In October, Universal Pictures released "Evil Boss", which tells the story of three small employees who are bullied in the workplace and decide to unite to take revenge on their **** boss. Originally, their design was just a prank, but things developed by leaps and bounds in an unbelievable direction...
This is a black humor film, full of absurdity. But because of the exquisite and meticulous arrangement of the story, when the audience watches the movie, the development of the story does not feel abrupt, but unexpected, reasonable, and full of surprises.
In addition, the performance of several actors is also amazing, gagging, laughing and cursing, it is really wonderful. What's more, bullying in the workplace is something that every professional will encounter. The encounters of the three protagonists in the movie are also empathetic to them, and they have a sense of substitution.
So in the end this movie resonated with everyone, so it achieved a good reputation and box office. In the end, the North American box office was 110 million US dollars, and the global box office was 210 million US dollars.
As a small-budget comedy film with an investment of only 30 million U.S. dollars, such box office results are simply amazing.
…
In November, the movie released by Universal Pictures is "Gambit 2".
It tells the story of Gambit meeting the big boss, Mr. Sinister, and with his help, going back to the past to save his lover.
But Mister Sinister did not tell him that after Gambit returned to the past, it was equivalent to restarting the timeline, so the result was not what Gambit wanted.
This is like the fable of "Three Monkey's Paws". Your wish will indeed be fulfilled, but the way of realization is unacceptable to you. "Gambit 2" tells such a story.
At the end of the story, the mutants reappeared, and the new versions of Professor X, Magneto, Mystique, Beast, Shockwave, and the old version of Wolverine all appeared. This is also the most exciting moment for fans.
There are already many movie fans who are reluctant to let go of the end of the "X-Men" series and "Wolverine" series. Right now, the timeline restarts, and the X-Men story is back.
As a result, "Gambit 2" was a big hit at the box office, with a North American box office of 250 million US dollars and a global box office of nearly 700 million US dollars. The results are quite good.
…
In December, the long-lost "Men in Black 3" was released, ten years have passed since the second part.
The film company invited him to make a film, and if he went through a lot of trouble, he might not earn as much as him. So Xiang Nan had written the script of "Men in Black 3" early tomorrow, but because he was too expensive, the filming was delayed.
The reason why he finally decided to start filming this movie was mainly because Will Smith gave in. He decided to only charge 20 million US dollars at the box office plus 10% profit dividend.
The reason why he made concessions was mainly to pave the way for his son. Because Xiang Nan got stuck in "Kung Fu Dream 2", he didn't want to invest in filming again. And Jaden Smith's "Beast Boy", with an investment of 30 million US dollars, only got less than 20 million US dollars at the box office, and its reputation is a mess.
Seeing that his son's stardom is not guaranteed, Will Smith naturally hopes that Xiang Nan will restart "Kung Fu Dream 2". In this case, Jaden Smith may turn salty fish over.
Otherwise, with his box office performance, no film company would be willing to hire him to make a film. At that time, the son's future will be over.
So the two sides reached an agreement. He took on "Men in Black 3" with a reduced salary, and Xiang Nan restarted "Kung Fu Dream 2".
…
"Men in Black 3" returned after a ten-year absence, which made movie fans very excited.
First, each of its stories is so exciting and full of imagination. Compared with it, other science fiction films are too traditional and old-fashioned;
Secondly, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, young and old, matched each other very well.
So the first two films are very good-looking, and have been regarded as science fiction classics by countless fans.
Therefore, "Men in Black 3" is naturally very popular. What's more, this movie also plays with time-traveling stalks and nostalgic elements, which is more popular with the audience.
Therefore, the final box office in North America was 230 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 620 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the investment of 180 million US dollars, this result is quite good.
However, after the "Men in Black" trilogy was filmed, Xiang Nan decided to temporarily seal the project and would not start it easily again.
…
In January 2013, Xiang Nan formulated a new project for the New Year.
"Skyfall", "X-Men: First Class", "The Avengers", "Midnight Children", "Pacific Rim", "Kung Fu Dream 2", "The Counterfeit Family", "Gravity" , "Fast and Furious 6", "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire", "The Wolf of Wall Street".
"Skyfall Crisis 007", tells the story of all the hidden secret agents of MI6 leaked and Bond was ordered to investigate the real murderer.
"X-Men: First Class" is the first story of the X-Men after the restart of the X-Men universe timeline. The original X-Men movies, the timeline is very confusing.
X-Men Trilogy, X-Men Reboot Trilogy, and Wolverine Trilogy, the timelines don’t match up at all, and there are many flaws, but this time it’s almost the same.
"The Avengers" is the first build-up film in the Avengers universe. Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, etc. have all released stand-alone films before. Although Hawkeye and Black Widow have no independent films, they have already appeared. .
The same is true for "Midnight Children". The core characters of Blade Warrior, Ghost Rider, and Morbius the vampire have all appeared. In addition, there are Punisher, Human Body and Night Werewolf. They have also filmed American dramas before and accumulated a certain popularity, so it is time to give it a hard look.
