Movies like "Hulk", if you don't go to the theater to watch it, you may lose half of the movie-watching pleasure, the huge picture on the big screen, the deafening sound, which is temporarily unavailable for home entertainment equipment.

In the summer season, the audience wants sensory stimulation, not brainstorming.

The difference between director and director is also quite significant, with Joss Whedon and Ang Lee being completely different styles.

The phrase "having a specialization in the art industry" is not just talking, it is clearly reflected in Hollywood.

Art film directors are born for ideas, and special effects entertainment film directors are born for vision, and the "art industry" they specialize in is different, and the results produced are also completely different.

The success of "Hulk" has undoubtedly put Marvel Entertainment's Avengers program further on the fast track.

Marvel Entertainment held a press conference on Monday to officially announce the establishment of "The Avengers" and announced that Joss Whedon would be the director.

The project will have a production budget of up to $200 million, making it an absolute top commercial production.

If after the release of "Iron Man", there are still many people inside and outside Hollywood circles who think that Marvel Entertainment's Avengers plan may not be successful, after the box office of "Hulk" in North America on the first weekend, these people began to realize that comic superhero movies and even mainstream commercial movies in Hollywood may usher in a new era.

After more than two years of operation, Netflix Streaming also has a certain sense of the entertainment market, and Mark Randolph called Ronan, hoping that the works about Marvel's Avengers Project can be directly broadcast on Netflix Streaming Media as a platform in the future.

Ronan also specially summoned Kevin Feige and George Clint to discuss and determine the main direction of the first series when the success of the Avengers program can be expected and the future becomes clearer.

Robert Iger, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company's operations, also participated in the mini-meeting, as it involved personnel transfers.

"Marvel Entertainment doesn't have a dedicated drama production department. ”

This small session was moderated by Robert Iger: "The development of Marvel's series requires the cooperation of Marvel and Shahai Entertainment. ”

George Clint said: "There are no problems working together, but there are practical difficulties with Shahai Entertainment. He glanced at Ronan and said directly: "At present, Shahai Entertainment has undertaken a number of Netflix streaming media custom projects, and the production of dramas is very tight. ”

Kevin Feige knows that Marvel Entertainment does not have the ability to produce the series independently for the time being, saying: "This is a long-term plan, I will temporarily assemble a small team and prepare the copywriting work in advance. ”

Robert Iger said: "The two of you have each assigned people to work together, and the crew is planning for the long term, according to Ronan's plan, it will not be launched until after the release of "The Avengers" at the earliest. ”

Ronan continued: "If the movie has enough popularity, it will fully drive works including dramas and animations. ”

His meaning is very clear, the Marvel superhero movie series is far from hot enough.

At the earliest, it will be after "The Avengers" that Marvel can really take shape and pull related works in an all-round way.

George Clint nodded: "I have no opinion, I will immediately draw the right people when I go back." ”

Kevin Feige said: "I'm going to keep in touch with George. ”

Robert Iger said directly: "If you have any questions, please contact me or Ronan in time. ”

Connie put a copy of the prepared text in front of everyone, the text was not thick, it was Ronan's simple plan.

Ronan said quickly: "In the comics, there are many well-known characters that may not appear in movies in the future, such as the main characters in S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. Here are some of my thoughts on the first Marvel series, focusing on S.H.I.E.L.D., like S.H.I.E.L.D., from the earliest founding of the likes of Peggy Carter and Howard Stark, to becoming an international security organization, there is a lot to be written about. ”

Kevin Feige said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. is a key organization in the Avengers, with S.H.I.E.L.D. as the setting, which is a great fit for adaptation. ”

George Clint has limited knowledge of Marvel Comics and has not made any comments.

Ronan said: "I'm only responsible for providing advice, Kevin, it's Marvel itself that knows Marvel Comics best, and you're fully responsible for the specific plan and script copywriting." ”

Kevin Finch said, "No problem. ”

Ronan nodded to Robert Iger, who immediately called the meeting to a dismiss.

George Clint and Kevin Feige left the conference room and entered the elevator hall one after another, obviously to communicate.

Robert Iger and Ronan also chatted for a while, mostly about Twentieth Century Fox.

The relevant plan, for the time being, is still at the level of the core team around Ronan and Robert Iger, and if it is to be truly implemented, it must wait for the right opportunity.

This opportunity is not only to wait, but also to actively create.

Ronan returned to the office and summoned Finch, telling him and his security team to be on full alert, placing outside staff to gather as much information as possible without attracting attention.

At noon, Ronan was going to have lunch with Jessica Felton, who was not in the office and went out to meet the director.

While she is working on the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4", she is also promoting some pre-production work for "Spicy Hand Police Flower".

Such as finding the right director and actors.

Ronan has heard Jessica Filton talk about some situations before, and the two heroines can't use too young actors because of their careers, and they will basically choose between actors born between 1970 and 1980.

During this time period, there are many actresses in Hollywood who have outstanding acting skills and appearance, and their salaries are not very high.

In the afternoon, Ronan met with Robert Lee, and the negotiations with Warner Bros. did not make much progress.

Since he is not in a hurry at all, the conditions offered can only be described as a lion's big mouth, and Ronan still wants to fight for the copyright of the film and television adaptation of "Wonder Woman" as long as possible.

This is also where the biggest disagreement between the two sides lies, Warner Bros. and DC Comics do not want to see another Batman series movie appear.

"Time is not in our favor. ”

In the conference room of the Warner Building in Burbank, DC Comics CEO Diego Harris looked serious: "The success of The Dark Knight can be expected, and if it drags on until the success of The Dark Knight, we may pay a bigger price." ”

Charles Rowan complained a little: "I reacted to Ronan Anderson's condition more than a year ago, and we were not passive ...... then"

Kevin Tsuhara's eyes swept over, and Charles Rowan could only shut up.

Another Warner Bros. executive said, "Can we figure out something about Christopher Nolan?"

Charles Rowan reminded: "Christopher Nolan has signed a contract with Sand Sea Entertainment and is preparing to shoot a sci-fi production, what Warner Bros. can give him, Relativity Entertainment can also give him, with his relationship with Ronan Anderson, it is more likely to sell us backhand." ”

Kevin Tsuhara slowly spoke at this time: "Wonder Woman's copyright is absolutely not allowed, this is our bottom line!"

Diego Harris and Charles Rowan all nodded, this is the consensus of all of them, Warner Bros. and DC Comics are advancing the Justice League Cinematic Universe plan, how can Wonder Woman, as one of the Big Three of Justice, be absent?

There is a Black Widow in the Marvel's Avengers universe, and the Justice League universe must also have corresponding female characters.

When it comes to fame and influence, Wonder Woman beats Black Widow in every aspect.

Kevin Tsohara asked, "Can the Batman series have a sequel to The Dark Knight Rise?"

Charles Rowan replied: "Christopher Nolan has only signed a three-part contract, and from what I know about him, it is impossible for him to continue directing the series after the trilogy is over. ”

Diego Harris said: "It's just a change of director, once the trilogy is a big hit, the sequel will still be able to maintain enough influence, we don't have to be a director, there are many directors in Hollywood, such as Zack Schneider." ”

Kevin Tsohara said, "Charles, is this series directly connected to our Justice League universe? ”

Charles Rowan groaned a little and said: "I discussed this with Zack Schneider, and he thinks that a sequel is highly feasible as long as it is properly adjusted. ”

"Let Christopher Nolan finish his trilogy. Kevin Tsuhara said: "We are looking for other directors to take over the sequel, and we need to make the most of the advantages that have been established. ”

He glanced at everyone in the room: "In this case, it is imperative to get back the investment power. ”

Diego Harris continued: "There's no possibility for Wonder Woman to talk about, but Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad are fringe characters, and we might as well consider ......"

Charles Rowan said: "I suggest that in addition to the remake rights of those two old movies, it is better not to add other copyrights to the transaction, and it is better to pay Relativity Entertainment a certain amount of monetary compensation." ”

"They want $100 million!" Diego Harris said, "and there's no room for bargaining." ”

Charles Rowan said: "Don't forget, this includes offline revenue rights for 'Time to War' and 'The Dark Knight'. ”

The people below were divided into two factions, supporting Charles Rowan and Diego Harris, and the conference room was at odds for a while.

"Be quiet!" Kevin Tsuhara and the other room were quiet again, saying, "Either of these two conditions is fine, I only ask for one thing, before the release of "The Dark Knight", the problem must be solved. ”

The others stopped talking, but everyone knew that this negotiation would not be easy.

Kevin Tsuhara added: "Now for another question, the success of Hulk Hulk, Marvel Entertainment's Avengers Cinematic Universe has two blockbuster films, and the progress is far ahead of the Justice League Cinematic Universe!

"Diego, Charles, you have to urge Zack Snyder and Martin Campbell to get them done with Watchmen and Green Lantern. ”
