571 [In-depth Communication]
Jiang Yu said: "So did you agree?"
Luo Yuan was silent for a while, there are many superheroes in the Marvel Universe, and it is impossible for him to shoot them all by himself, so it is inevitable to find others to cooperate, otherwise there will be no Avengers, but Spider-Man is in the very popular category among superheroes, can it really be handed over to Jiang Yu?
"I want to ask. ”
Luo Yuandao: "Is the teacher interested in "Spider-Man" or is he interested in the whole Marvel, among the superheroes under Marvel, there is not only Spider-Man, or you can learn more about other superheroes......"
"I chose this one because Spider-Man's popularity is relatively high. ”
Jiang Yu smiled: "And I've seen other superheroes of Marvel, and I personally think that there are not many that are worth making into independent movies." ”
"That ......"
Luo Yuan spoke: "Marvel's copyright is related to my future plans, so if the teacher's studio decides to cooperate with Crimson, I hope our company can take the lead." ”
"Are you trying to get involved in the shooting?"
Jiang Yu smiled: "You know it's impossible. ”
Luo Yuan was helpless: "Because teacher, you suddenly want to shoot Spider-Man, but Spider-Man is also in my future shooting plan, including "Iron Man", of course, compared to "Spider-Man", I value the latter more, so if I give up the filming rights of this movie, then I must ensure that this movie follows the path I envisioned in my heart." ”
Indeed, Luo Yuan also has a list.
Marvel superhero movies, he will definitely not be able to shoot them all, but he will definitely not let go of the popular masterpiece "Iron Man", as for "Spider-Man", it is also used as an alternative track, if Jiang Yu wants it, it is not that he can't give it, but he must take the initiative, he doesn't want the things of his previous life to repeat themselves in this life.
In the previous life, "Spider-Man" can be described as having had ups and downs.
Because Spider-Man has always been one of the most popular comic book characters in the Marvel world, his comic sales are higher than the sales of comics of other superheroes, but the early Marvel was short of people and money, and had no ability to make movies by itself, so he had to sell the rights of some superheroes to big owners such as Sony and even Fox, including "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", which have very terrifying money-absorbing capabilities.
Even......
Even "Captain America" and "Thor" were almost sold to Warner and Sony, and if that were the case, then there would be no "Avengers" later.
got the copyright of "Spider-Man".
Sony decided to let "Evil Play" director Sam Raimi direct it and make it into a movie, and the result was that he successfully brought the classic comic "Spider-Man" to the big screen and created a box office miracle, and later directed the second and third installments, which were also hugely successful.
Marvel will definitely feel helpless about this.
watched the Spider-Man series of movies harvest a total of $4 billion at the global box office, but the next two "The Amazing Spider-Man" performed poorly, with a total box office of only $1.5 billion, which is considered a failure of the Spider-Man series.
This made Sony finally stop holding on to the copyright and not return it to Marvel.
On the one hand, Sony is afraid that the once brilliant character of "Spider-Man" will die in his hands, on the other hand, Marvel Studios has come back to life through "Iron Man" and "The Avengers", and the cooperation between the two sides seems to be logical, so until 2017, the new "Spider-Man" finally played the banner of going home.
This is also the reason why the movie is called the Return of the Heroes.
Since there is something to do in his previous life, Luo Yuan will definitely not let the copyright of superheroes fall aside in this life, especially super popular works like "Spider-Man" or "Iron Man", so even if he cooperates with other companies or powerful directors, he must ensure that he has the initiative.
And this is precisely what Jiang Yu is not very happy about.
To the extent of Jiang Yu or Luo Yuan, directors have a very strong desire to control their works, and they don't want others to dictate.
Past.
Luo Yuan remembered that when he was still a miscellaneous worker, he once saw a scene note when the director was filming, and put forward a small opinion, but the opinion was adopted, but three days later, the scene note also disappeared from the crew, and at that time, Luo Yuan understood how a top director has an unreasonable desire to control his work.
"So ......"
Jiang Yu said helplessly: "We can't talk about it?"
Luo Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to postpone it, but Marvel is a big banner, and what I want to create is a big series that is interlocking, and it is different from all known series of movies......"
"I know what you mean. ”
Jiang Yu said: "Arrange a movie for each of the important characters, and then in the process, there will be a linkage of characters, such as Spider-Man, the protagonist of this movie, will appear in the same movie with another superhero of Marvel, so that fans of the two characters will go to the cinema to support, with great ambitions and very good ideas, so that even if the character of a movie fails in the process, there are countless ways to save this character." ”
Luo Yuan was dumbfounded.
has laid out Marvel for so many years, Jiang Yu is still the first director to see it and say his thoughts directly, indeed, as Jiang Yu said, there are many benefits of doing this, for example, although the movie "Hulk" is a failure, but when the Hulk appeared in "The Avengers" or the third part of "Thor", it still played a very important role.
Even......
The role of the Hulk appeared in these movies, which made many people feel happy, and even Luo Yuan was very interesting about the appearance of the Hulk when he watched the third part of Thor, and the Hulk will be on the same stage with Thor, which is due to the foreshadowing laid by the second part of the Avengers.
"Admire!"
Luo Yuan smiled: "Master is Master." ”
Jiang Yu seemed to be a little depressed: "Master didn't let go of buying a copyright from you, what are you still doing here, just worried that I messed up your little spider?"
"That's not ......"
Luo Yuan said honestly: "I'm just worried that the style of the film shot by Master will be different from the independent film style shot by several other characters. ”
The style of painting should be as uniform as possible.
You can't shoot "Iron Man" here and kill all sides, playing personal heroism, but Jiang Yu is discussing philosophical propositions such as whether human beings should do whatever they want if they have superpowers, right?
"Okay. ”
Jiang Yu said: "Then we will discuss this matter later, and I hope you can back down when the time comes, of course I will also make some concessions." ”
"Good. ”
Luo Yuan replied very decisively this time.
