Everyone knows very well that a long-term film series has a successful start very important, and even the key to whether the plan can be executed.

Da Chao and Lao Ye are currently restricted by their own independent films, and it is impossible to use them as a start.

Wonder Woman, one of the triumvirate of justice, is a woman, and after the fiasco of "Catwoman", Warner Bros. and DC Comics can no longer venture on female superhero movie projects.

How to choose is also a big problem.

Charles Rowan said, "The main members of the Justice League are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, and if we are sure that we want to make a plan for a Justice League movie, it would be best to choose one of the starting films. ”

"I agree. Diego Harris said, "There are no fewer superheroes under DC than Marvel. Marvel can succeed as a second-tier Iron Man, and we can also use characters outside the Justice Triumvirate as a starting ......"

Kevin Tsuhara said, "Which of the members of the Justice League do you think is a better fit?"

Charles Rowan looks at Diego Harris, and DC Comics undoubtedly has more say in this regard.

Diego Harris thought about it for a while and said, "I would initially recommend using Green Lantern. ”

Charles Rowan thought for a moment and said, "Green Lantern is really good, second only to the Big Three in the Justice League, and its creative space is even broader." Iron Man is just a small fight on the earth, but one of our movies can expand the world view to the whole universe!"

This idea looks really good, and Diego Harris also said, "In this way, our pattern can crush the Avengers from the beginning." ”

Kevin Tsohara listened to the advice of his two cadres and felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately said, "You guys come up with a concrete plan as soon as possible, and then discuss it." ”

Charles Rowan said: "There is one more thing that we should pay attention to as well. ”

"You say. Kevin Tsohara said.

"The success of "Iron Man" is, of course, Ronan Anderson's planning played an extremely important role. "Charles Rowan has obviously done some research to understand" but Ronan Anderson is rarely directly involved in the direct operation of a movie now, "Iron Man" and even the later Avengers movie project, Ronan Anderson has all been handed over to Kevin Feige to be responsible for the execution. ”

These things are not secrets, Diego Harris and Kevin Tsohara have also heard some of them.

Charles Rowan continued, "Kevin Feige is a fan of Marvel Comics, knows enough about Marvel Comics, and has the ability to make movies, and he can be said to be another big contributor to the success of Iron Man. ”

Diego Harris gradually tasted something "Charles, you mean ......"

"Warner Bros. and DC Comics also need a similar character, someone who has the big picture and a deep understanding of DC Comics, and who can also shoot and make films, and who is deeply involved in the Justice League program," said Charles Rowan. ”

Kevin Tsuhara said bluntly, "I think you're the right fit. ”

Diego Harris also said, "Charles, you have the ability. ”

Charles Rowan positioned himself as the big picture controller of the Avengers project, so he said, "I can be the head of Warner Bros. and DC Comics in the plan, but we also need an executor." ”

Kevin Tsuhara asked directly, "Do you have the right fit?"

Diego Harris also looked at Charles Rowan with concern.

"There is one. Charles Rowan unsurprisingly uttered a name" Zack Snyder, now working on "Watchmen." ”

"He?" Diego Harris was somewhat skeptical.

Kevin Tsohara said, "Are you sure he's a good fit......?"

Charles Rowan said, "Zach has a lot of similarities in philosophy and style to DC Comics, and he's a big fan of DC superhero comics, having directed two films, Dawn of the Living Dead and Three Hundred Spartans, with the former being a huge success and the latter set to be released this summer." ”

He looked at Diego Harris and Kevin Tsuhara and said something extremely important: "This is the talent that Ronan Anderson has unearthed and is very optimistic about his future." I don't need to say much about Ronan Anderson's vision, right? Look at Kevin Feige, before he became the producer of "Iron Man", he just did some auxiliary work in other Marvel superhero movie projects, and he didn't lead any film at all, and his resume is not as good as Zack Schneider. ”

This is not a trivial matter, the plan has not yet been formulated, and what is said now needs to be measured, although Kevin Tsohara often has inexplicable moves in the movie, but the ability is definitely there, after a little consideration, he said, "Isn't "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" about to be released? Let's take a look at the market response of this film first, this is essentially a comic superhero movie, and it can also let us see Zack Snyder's strength in this genre. ”

Diego Harris agrees: "It's not too late for us to discuss the initial plan and then identify the people who will execute it." ”

Charles Rowan said, "Yes, after the release of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", I will see the results and discuss with Zack Schneider." ”

"So be it. Kevin Tsuhara thought of one thing and reminded Charles Rowan that "Watchmen is going to speed up the plan. ”

Charles Rowan nodded slightly, "I understand." ”

Warner Bros. DC superhero movies have always been the main force in the comic book film market in the past, and it is impossible to give up this huge market to latecomers.

Relativity Entertainment also has high hopes for this market, and now it has a first-mover advantage, and of course it will maintain it.

Joss Whedon took the "Hulk" crew to New York to shoot, when the Hulk would be ravaging Times Square and Fifth Avenue.

A superhero who doesn't fight in New York is never a qualified superhero.

Chris Evans has ended more than half a year of military camp life, and his temperament has changed significantly, probably because of the experience during this time, he has felt a lot, and the previous reckless youth has become more and more calm.

Ronan and Kevin Feige have been confirmed, with Chris Evans playing Captain America Steve Rogers.

This is another core of the Avengers in addition to Iron Man, and one of the two giants of the critically acclaimed comic book "Civil War" that Marvel is publishing.

Captain America is not outstanding in combat effectiveness, but he is the spiritual pillar of the Avengers.

Of course, as a movie, the abilities of each character must pursue a certain degree of balance, and Captain America will definitely be given a big hidden superpower - five five open!

Even if the Celestial Group came and slapped it down, Captain America would be able to stand it up, and it would form a five-five open in a short time.

The abilities in the comics cannot be fully displayed in the movie, and that is not realistic, and most of the characters will be weakened to a certain extent.

But it also increases the destructive power in battle.

In fact, this has been reflected in "Iron Man", the battle between Iron Man and Iron Overlord almost demolished most of the Stark Industrial Park.

Although it is impossible to achieve the situation where the human god destroys a neighborhood or town at every turn, it will not be a scene of elementary school students fighting.

"Iron Man" is in full swing, and the crew has frequently participated in various promotional activities to build momentum, Robert Downey Jr. has become the most popular object, this talented actor who once fell from a height to the bottom, with the role of Tony Stark, finally returned to the mainstream, became popular again, and radiated far more brilliance than before.

Robert Downey Jr.'s fanatical fanature everywhere he goes is a true reflection of the film market's response.

With the arrival of the working day, "Iron Man" will inevitably decline at the box office, but it will still operate at a high level.

On Monday, the film still had $11.26 million in North America and even rebounded to nearly $13 million on Tuesday.

However, in the next two days, it continued to decline according to the normal market pattern.

For films like "Iron Man", which has an unusually strong popcorn flavor, the weekdays are basically in a state of decline, but due to the influence of good media and audience reputation, the decline has always been maintained within a very small range.

A new weekend has arrived, and North America ushered in the second weekend of the 2006 summer season, with new big-budget films joining the ranks of market competition.

Twentieth Century Fox's "Ice Age 2" carries an unusually eye-catching little squirrel around North America.

Thanks to the success of the first installment, the film can be described as menacing, taking $27.95 million on the first day of release, snatching the single-day box office champion from "Iron Man".

The latter received another $23.55 million in a single day.

But compared with the amazement of the first part, Blue Sky Studio, like the development trend of the past, is obviously lacking in stamina, and the reputation of "Ice Age 2" is not good.

Especially at the technical level, the handling is not ideal.

Blue Sky Studio didn't want to make low-budget animated feature films that didn't highlight the details at all, like DreamWorks Animation Studio and Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, and wanted to create detailed pictures.

However, perhaps due to the investment of only 80 million US dollars, or perhaps due to the limitations of its own technology, the level of the picture is deliberately highlighted by the background details and animal character hair, which exposes too many picture flaws.

In addition, in terms of plot processing, there are gradually clues to the lack of highlights except for squirrels.

Although tied for one of Hollywood's top three animation studios, the gap between Blue Sky Studios and DreamWorks Animation, which is at the bottom of the line, is far greater than the distance between DreamWorks Animation and Pixar Studios.

Dragged down by a less-than-ideal reputation, "Ice Age 2" saw a sharp decline at the box office on Saturday, with only $21.78 million coming in.

"Iron Man" rebounded strongly in single-day revenue with the effect of Saturday's rest day, regaining the single-day box office champion with $28.21 million.
