The Best Entertainment Era

This Spider-Man is a milestone for Hollywood superhero movies, and it is Peter Parker's success on the big screen that opened up the sales of superhero movies all over the world.

For example, Ronan in the past, before the release of X-Men in 2000, most people's concept of superheroes stayed on Superman and Batman. At that time, people around them hadn't even heard of DC and Marvel.

With Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X gradually coming into view.

Even so, X-Men gives the impression that it is just a movie of a group of superpowers. Although Uncle Wolf is extremely popular, it is not a superhero movie that saves mankind.

Until the release of Spider-Man in 2002.

The birth of this work made the concept of superheroes popular all over the world, and countless people all over the world were crazy about it, which greatly promoted the development of superhero comics and movies.

The movie adapts comics to a very large extent, and even the Spider-Man in the movie is completely different from the Spider-Man in the mainstream comics.

Tobey Maguire, who has a deep hatred and bitterness, of course will not be a cannon-type jumping spider. In this Spider-Man, Spider-Man, one of Marvel's two big mouthers, has no performance at all.

In fact, such a movie is not easy. It has to face the scrutiny of die-hard comic fans, and it has to please viewers who are not familiar with the original work. It also has to make up for the vacancy that there have been no movies since the birth of Spider-Man for decades.

If you change it to the 1980s or early 1990s, the pioneering era of special effects movies, anyone who tries to shoot Spider-Man is obviously considered unwise, because it is too difficult to represent.

So from any point of view, this movie series is a pioneer, and Spider-Man can also be regarded as the first person to eat crabs.

And the movie adaptation was pretty successful.

Those thrilling shots of quickly swooping and flying in the city are very successful, coupled with comic exaggerated shooting and narrative techniques, it is refreshing.

The movie was a huge success.

Because Ronan holds the copyright of Marvel superhero movies, he is very concerned about every move of Spider-Man.

As soon as it was released, the film set several records one after another, such as the unprecedented opening scale of 3615 theaters in North America, such as the highest Friday box office and Saturday box office in North America history,

As well as the highest opening weekend box office.

With $114.84 million in the first three days, Spider-Man became the first film in North America to break 100 million at the box office in its first week.

Since then, the standard for top Hollywood productions to be successful at the box office in the first weekend has also been raised to $100 million.

The great success of Spider-Man has made countless people, including Ronan, envious. This is more than just a gold mine!

Only Marvel Comics was overjoyed, dejected, and wept alone.

My own son was successful and got countless profits, but most of the profits fell into the pocket of his godfather, and the real father of Marvel had limited profits.

On the contrary, many comic fans went to the headquarters of Marvel comics to protest, thinking that the movie adaptation ruined the original comic book.

This kind of thing can never be avoided in adapting movies.

But for a movie to be successful, an adaptation is a must.

Perhaps, the production team and Sony Columbia are also aware of the impact that today's social situation may have on movies.

Therefore, this Spider-Man keeps showing people a hero who is innocent, unlucky, and even bubbling stupid, and people can't help but ask - where is Peter Parker, the smug, high-spirited, and talented smart ghost? went? Gone is the cute little spider, replaced by a silly kid named Tobey Maguire who got superpowers by luck.

After Tobey Maguire took off his Spider-Man clothes, he was just a stunned young man who most people didn't want to take a second look at. He was flat-looking, slightly dull, and often made mistakes, making people think that he was nothing but superpowers .

But Peter Parker in the movie is kind and lovely, honest and simple, full of love, and loyal to love, just like every ordinary person in life, seemingly ugly, but actually has flowers in his heart.

It can only be said that in each era, the audience needs different protagonists.

Shooting according to the original routine, Peter Parker is very handsome, a high school student can engage in atomic science, has a lot of romantic affairs, loves to play tricks, and has no worries about food and clothing...

It is estimated that many people accept incompetence.

This Spider-Man also established a sufficiently deep spiritual core for the superhero themes in the following years-the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

If Nolan's Batman has brought this philosophy to the extreme, then Spiderman is the pioneer of this connotation.

In just ten days, the North American box office of Spider-Man reached 225 million US dollars, breaking almost all breakable North American box office records.

What a pity.

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Robert Lee kept shaking his head: We have got so many Marvel superheroes, but there is no Spider-Man among them.

Robert Iger looked at Ronan: We shot too late.

Ronan felt a little helpless, and said: When I entered the film industry, the copyright of Spider-Man was already in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. I asked Columbia, and Spider-Man is not for sale.

Robert Iger said: I thought that Spider-Man would be successful, but I didn't expect it to be so successful. Superhero movies may no longer be a small category in the future.

Special effects technology is developing rapidly nowadays, especially computer special effects. Ronan is very calm: These have improved the most basic technical support for the realization of superhero movies. The success of X-Men and Spider-Man proves that An era of superhero movies has begun.

Robert Lee has always been well-informed, and said at this time: It is said that many companies are advancing superhero movie plans. Twentieth Century Fox's Daredevil started shooting in March, and Fantastic Four was also proposed by them. On the daily. Universal Pictures' Hulk is said to have been transferred to post-production and will be released next year.

He went on to talk about the next door to Marvel: Warner Bros. and DC Comics are preparing for Catwoman. If nothing else, the new Oscar winner Halle Berry will play Selena Kyle. The new movie of Superman , Warner Bros. has been making preliminary preparations since two years ago, and it is estimated that preparations will be made soon...

Robert Iger continued: Superhero movies are going to swarm.

Robert Lee said again: Most of these films will have an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and they are all top-level commercial productions. Take a share.

Ronan smiled and said, Many people have contacted me recently, wanting to buy the copyright of our superheroes.

You are very visionary. Robert Iger felt that he couldn't help but admire: So many superhero copyrights have been bought at such a low price.

He laughed: Even if we sell the copyright, it will be a lot of money.

Ronan shook his head: We will not sell the copyrights, and we must try our best to collect the copyrights of the Marvel superheroes that are in the hands of major Hollywood companies.

Robert Lee said: I have been staring at the companies where these superhero copyrights are located. If it is possible to buy, I will do it as soon as possible.

Ronan reminded: The first priority is the Hulk in the hands of Universal Pictures.

Although I haven't contacted Ang Lee for a long time, but with Ang Lee's director style, Hulk will definitely be made into an author's movie.

It can be said that with Ang Lee's ability, Ang Lee can shoot movies with an investment of 10 to 20 million US dollars according to his own style and ideas. He has a certain appeal and is not under great pressure to pay back. If Ang Lee makes an author's film again, the risk will be doubled.

In fact, this is suitable for most film directors whose personal style is obviously biased towards literature and art.

If Hulk is successful... Robert Iger reminded: We have no chance of winning the copyright of Hulk.

Ronan nodded: Yes, so we have to pray that this superhero masterpiece fails.

If the film fails, not only is there hope to negotiate the copyright of the Hulk with Universal Pictures, but it can also beckon Li Ang to come back obediently.

This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Robert Lee had dealt with Ang Lee and said: I hope that Ang Lee will add more humanistic thinking to Hulk, just like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and make it into a literary film with other cloaks.

Because he was not familiar with Ang Lee, Robert Iger did not intervene.

Ronan said lightly: Based on what I know about Ang Lee, this possibility is extremely high.

It is said that Universal Pictures gave Ang Lee the greatest trust. Except for the final editing rights, other rights were handed over to Ang Lee, and even the final editing rights were asked to provide the finished version for Universal Pictures to review.

Ronan did some calculations. According to the development of his previous life, it is possible to discuss the copyrights of Hulk and Daredevil, but the X-Men and Fantastic Four series are basically hopeless.

Robert Iger asked at this time: When will we launch a superhero movie? He was quite calm-headed: Judging from the current situation, the industry has followed suit extremely seriously, and superhero movies need to invest a lot of money. I suggest delaying it by a few days. Year.

This is also my idea. Ronan said directly: We wait for a few years, wait for the audience to start getting tired of superheroes who hide their heads, and then launch our superhero movie! And it is a serialized movie.

Robert Iger didn't quite understand what Ronan meant, and looked over curiously. Ronan simply said, The superheroes in our hands are basically members of the Avengers.

Avengers? Robert Iger is not stupid at all, but extremely smart: Let superheroes appear on the big screen in the form of the Avengers team?

Ronan nodded slightly: This is one of the most important links in our future production plan.

Robert Iger immediately said: I understand, I will keep it secret.
