Chapter 2062 2064 [Movie Universe]
Xiang Nan then called Margot Robbie, Karen Gillan, Emma Roberts and He Hao together to train in fighting and prepare for future movies.
Margot Robbie and He Hao to Star in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' Karen Gillan to Star in 'Jumanji: The Jungle Book,' Emma Roberts to Star in 'Ant-Man' as Wasp Female, all four of them need to receive a period of fighting training.
In addition, Gal Gadot, who plays the Black Widow, has also begun to prepare for "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier"; Ashley Benson is also preparing for "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2.
So, Xiang Nan taught a total of six people. And teaching and teaching, the location is from the martial arts hall to the hotel. In short, everyone has learned a lot.
…
In August, Universal Pictures released "The Avengers", which is also the first assembly of the Avengers movie universe.
Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk, Rocky, Nick Fury, etc., who have prepared the groundwork before, all appeared on the stage. It can be said that there are big names gathered and the lineup is quite strong.
And its investment is as high as 220 million US dollars, which is the highest investment among all superhero movies, so it is even better in terms of scenes and special effects.
Star-studded, grand scenes, realistic special effects, coupled with a passable story, also made "The Avengers" an instant hit.
The final North American box office was 620 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 1.51 billion U.S. dollars. Such a result directly ranked third in the global movie box office rankings, causing a sensation in the entire industry.
No one expected that such a movie could achieve such a high box office.
Although in recent years, everyone knows that superhero movies are popular, but a bunch of superheroes together does not mean that they will definitely be a hit.
For example, the 1997 version of "Batman and Robin", which brought together Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Bane, Freeze Man and other heroes and villains, but the box office and word of mouth were a big loser. , causing Warner to hide Batman for nearly ten years.
Another example is "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" launched by Fox Films in 2003, which is a superhero team earlier than the Avengers.
A collection of Captain Nemo in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", the great adventurer Alan Cotman in "King Solomon's Treasure", Tom Sawyer in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", and Dr. Hyde, the female vampire Mina in "Dracula", the invisible man Schina in "The Invisible Man", the undead Doray Green in "The Portrait of Doray Green" and many other well-known characters.
As a result, this blockbuster movie with an investment of 78 million U.S. dollars only got 190 million U.S. dollars at the box office at the time, and its reputation was a mess.
Therefore, superhero team movies have since been regarded as taboo by Hollywood, and few film companies dare to make such movies. This is also the reason why Warner obviously has so many superhero copyrights in DC comics, but it always makes single-body movies when making movies.
…
It's a pity that they don't understand, it's not that superhero movies don't sell well, but that movies made with carelessness don't sell well.
The reason why "Batman and Robin" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" failed was that they were unwilling to pay attention to the production. There were problems with the story, special effects, scenes, costumes, and sets, so they failed at the box office.
And "The Avengers" was a hit, which made them realize that the movie universe is actually a hit. As a result, even Warner Pictures began to make Justice League.
Other film companies also want to make this kind of movies. For example, Lionsgate intends to restart the "Hellboy" series, Fox Pictures intends to restart the "Alien" series, and even Sony Pictures intends to restart the "Night of the Living Dead" series. Create a zombie universe.
It is exactly the same as the saying, booger is delicious, and the nostrils are pierced.
There are also several film companies who are frustrated because they can't find suitable projects. Such as Paramount Pictures, Legendary Pictures and Disney Pictures.
At this time, they realized belatedly that Xiang Nan had already started planning a few years ago.
X-Men Universe, Monster Universe, Defenders Universe, Avengers Universe, Harry Potter Magic Universe...
Xiang Nan broke the laws of the market early on, so he has made money for so many years, but it is a pity that they only found out now, they are really stupid.
And one step is slow, every step is slow, they are several years behind Xiang Nan, and now they can't catch up if they want to catch up.
Because the IP suitable for forming the movie universe has long been occupied by Xiang Nan, the monster universe, the Marvel universe, the magic universe, the Lord of the Rings universe... the more I think about it, the more annoying I get.
…
In September, Universal Pictures released the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Rosie Huntington.
After Leonardo DiCaprio became famous with "Titanic", he has developed very well in the past few years.
"The Aviator", "Cat and Mouse", "The Departed", "Blood Diamond", "Shutter Island", "Inception", "Django Unchained", "The Great Gatsby"...Good work One after another, this has also kept him among the top Hollywood movie stars, and he is still popular today.
Rosie Huntington was born as a model and became a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2009. She started to set foot in the film and television industry in one year, and has starred in many movies. Although the box office and word-of-mouth are average, her acting skills are not very outstanding, but because she is really beautiful, she still wins the favor of capital.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is adapted from real people and true events, telling the life experience of Jordan Belfort, a Wall Street legend in the 1980s.
Because the subprime mortgage crisis has just passed, the public is forced to receive a wave of popular science education and have a certain understanding and attention to financial investment, so this kind of financial-themed movies are more likely to become popular. It's like after Nine Yaoyao, anti-terrorism-themed film and television dramas are also very popular.
Because there are stars joining, and the story is very good, very legendary, so the box office is very successful in the end. 150 million US dollars in North America, the global box office is close to 400 million US dollars.
This is also the highest-grossing movie made by Mr. Martin Scorsese.
Before that, he made films such as "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas", and "Casino". very high.
This is also the reason why no film company dares to invest in the old man who wants to make "The Irishman" in a few years.
