The Best Entertainment Era

In the offices of the Relativity Building, Ronan and Kevin Feige are discussing Marvel Entertainment's film plans.

After Avi Allard's tenure ended, Ike Parmutter, who had previously served as chief creative officer and chief operating officer, took over as CEO of Marvel Entertainment, achieving a smooth transition of power.

In the new Marvel management power structure, Kevin Feige, the president, is in charge of Marvel's film and television production business.

Kevin Feige first reported to Ronan the current progress of the Marvel movie: The Incredible Hulk held three internal test screenings, director Joss Whedon comprehensively suggested a small number of appropriate revisions, and the film finally In the internal test screening, the overall score was 9 points, because the failure of the previous Hulk is still short, the market response of this film cannot be compared with Iron Man.

Ronan said: Judging from the market response, Iron Man will become the most popular superhero among the Avengers.

In fact, his purpose is very clear, as long as Hulk can recover its investment through online and offline operations.

These superhero independent movies are more paving the way for the future.

But having said that, the Hulk filmed by Joss Whedon received a good response from the test screenings, and it has a high chance of getting a good box office in theaters.

Kevin Fitch continued: Jon Favreau has already started preparing for Iron Man 2. Although he is very interested in directing Captain America, in terms of time, it is already too late.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, Do you still remember the Russo brothers whom I asked you to keep an eye on? Let's get in touch with them.

In the past two years, Relativity Entertainment has been paying attention to the Russo brothers. The Russo brothers have grown rapidly. They have successively filmed two American dramas as directors and screenwriters, and have accumulated a lot of work experience.

Kevin Fitch nodded: I will let people get in touch with them as soon as possible. He turned and said: The post-production of Thor has reached the second half stage, and all productions will definitely be completed before October, and the holiday file will not be delayed. of the show.

'Hulk', 'Thor', 'Iron Man 2' and 'Captain America'... Ronan said softly, and then there is 'The Avengers'.

Kevin Feige asked: Have you considered directing?

Ronan said directly: Kevin, what do you think of Joss Whedon?

Hmm... Kevin Fitch thought for a while,

Said: It's not bad, it can be regarded as a director candidate.

Ronan said: You are directly responsible for the Avengers project. If you think about it comprehensively, my opinion is that directors who have directed Marvel superhero movies are preferred. They are familiar with this series after all.

Kevin Feige has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and is also very cautious: I understand. He mentioned a key point: Budget...

Ronan said: Don't worry, the budget is not a problem. The Pacific Investment Fund can provide sufficient production funds for Marvel Entertainment at any time.

In fact, in the early stage of the Marvel Avengers project, a large sum of money was also needed to get rich returns in the future.

Once this series really generated huge profits, it also started with The Avengers.

Ronan reminded: Kevin, while preparing for The Avengers, you also have to consider the second phase.

Kevin Fitch responded: I will make a detailed plan and submit it to you after completion. Ronan had some discussions with him in this regard, and Kevin Fitch reminded: The copyright of the Scarlet Witch Still in the hands of 20th Century Fox.

Scarlet Witch is part of the huge X-Men copyright. The setting in the comics is the daughter of Magneto. The film and television copyright of X-Men sold by Marvel Comics naturally includes this female mutant.

Once Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox reached an agreement, the Scarlet Witch and Silver Express were used separately. Therefore, in the Marvel series of movies, the name of the Scarlet Witch has never been mentioned, and it has always been Wanda.

With the current relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox, it is basically impossible to reach such an agreement.

But Ronan's plan is bigger, far more than that of Walt Disney in the same period.

Ronan thought for a while, and said, There is no need to worry about the copyright issue. I will find a way to solve it. You should make an extra record. Even if there is no Scarlet Witch, don't affect the second phase of the plan.

Okay. Kevin Fitch said: This is not a core key role.

Iron Man is a big hit at the box office. Not only is Tony Stark instantly popular, but Black Widow has also attracted much attention and has become a star role. In the future, it must be the core of female roles in the Avengers plan.

This core position may last for quite a long time.

Even, Marvel Entertainment is already planning an independent movie of Black Widow.

This is determined by the market response.

But Ronan and Kevin Feige are equally wary, after two female superhero films, Catwoman and Elektra, both ended in disastrous debuts.

If you ask companies in the industry whether female characters can alone carry a big-budget superhero movie, almost all the answers are no.

Ronan couldn't help thinking of Wonder Woman next door. As one of the Big Three of justice and the first female superhero in history, Wonder Woman is more famous and never forgets the banner of women's rights. If it is adapted into a movie, it looks like the chance of success Be bigger.

The three giants of justice are the core of DC comics, so copyright is no need to think about it...

However, thinking of The Dark Knight, Ronan felt that after the film was released, when Warner Bros. and DC Comics came to talk to him about the sequel rights, maybe he could give it a try.

Anyway, even if it fails, there will be no loss.

If you can succeed, you will make a lot of money.

It seems that Long Legs is about to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment. She has participated in the initial screening audition of The Hunger Games and successfully entered the second round.

For Wonder Woman, the biggest flaw of the Israeli star is that her breasts are too small.

The Dark Knight and the subsequent copyright and investment issues, Ronan is not in a hurry. The project has progressed to the present, and the ones who are anxious are Warner Bros., the deceased Heath Ledger and the clown who was made into the last character in his life by Warner Bros. It's only short of the release of the movie to be a god, and even the movie will be a god.

At that time, the box office of the film is booming, and various incomes are soaring. Without Ronan's reminder, Warner Bros. will automatically come to the door to discuss investment matters in The Dark Knight Rises.

In fact, it's not that Warner Bros. and DC Comics haven't had contact with Shahai Entertainment recently. George Clint has been pushing back according to Ronan's request.

Time is good for relativity entertainment; time will also make Warner Bros. really make up its mind.

The superhero movie plans of Warner Bros. and DC Comics are also advancing steadily. Preparations for Green Lantern have already begun. According to the latest news Ronan received, Warner Bros. is also learning from 20th Century Fox to poach the corner of Relativity Entertainment and invite Green Lantern heavily. Gossip Girl's Queen S Blake - Lively, signed to play the heroine of Green Lantern.

Blake Lively and Relativity Entertainment only signed a TV series contract, and there are no restrictions on appearing in other movies.

As for the leading actor, Ronan has also been inquired about. Among the many candidates, there is an actor named Ryan Reynolds.

It wasn't until it was almost time to get off work that Kevin Fitch left.

Ronan took care of part of the documentation work, and went directly to Jessica Felton's residence instead of returning to the Future World Manor after get off work.

Recently, he has lived here at night.

Climbing the peak will be addictive. The high altitude and beautiful scenery will make people linger and forget to return.

Facing two directors and screenwriters with almost blank resumes, Shahai Entertainment occupies an absolute dominant position, and the copyright negotiations progress very quickly.

The young female screenwriter Caddy Dippold was the first to sign the contract, and sold all the copyright of the script to Shahai Entertainment at a price of US$22,500.

The official name of this project is Hot Hands.

After Jessica Felton completes Fast and Furious 4, she will be solely responsible for the project, with an initial estimated production cost of $30 million.

Subsequently, Tom Hicks also officially signed a contract with Sand Sea Entertainment, and sold the script to Sand Sea Entertainment at a symbolic price of US$1 in exchange for more rights in production.

Under Ronan's instruction, Sandsea Entertainment also directly appointed Tom Hicks as the director and producer of The Human Centipede.

The production budget of this project is only 250,000 US dollars. Due to the particularity of the subject matter and content, Ronan did not want the company to directly participate. While doing a good job of financial supervision, he simply let Tom Hicks play to his fullest.

In the words of Tom Hicks, he will use The Human Centipede to explore the source of fear buried in the deepest layers of human nature in a way of biological structure and anatomy, and create a frightening picture that exceeds human expectations.

Anyway, it’s only $250,000, and Ronan can’t help Tom Hicks. As long as the film is abnormal enough, it is not a problem to recover the investment based on the operating capacity of the entertainment line.

Perverted movies have never lacked audiences in the United States.

With the arrival of a new weekend, Hairspray, which entered its second week of screenings, lost its top box office title.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced and distributed by Warner Bros., opened in North America this weekend, knocking Hairspray from No. 1 at the North American box office.

The comic-adapted film's first weekend in North America was $24.25 million, which is quite good compared to the $34 million production investment.

However, Hairspray, which fell to the second place in the box office list, has a very stable North American box office trend. The box office of the second weekend only dropped by 45% compared with the first weekend, and it took another US$19.08 million in the second weekend of its release.

Ten days after its release in North America, the North American box office of Hairspray totaled 64.56 million US dollars, and the North American box office will eventually exceed 100 million.

It is also such movies or drama projects that sell well online and continue to make profits through various offline channels and businesses, which constitute the huge operating income of Relativity Entertainment.

The big sales of this film also prove that the revival of Hollywood musicals has not yet come to an end.
