With the success of "Iron Man" and "Hulk" in the film market, Marvel Entertainment has truly come back to life, creating a counterattack myth of bankrupt silk.

An entertainment empire with superheroes as the protagonists began to rise, leading the trend of pop culture, making superheroes no longer a subculture of otaku geeks and a box office poison that studios avoided.

After being acquired by Relativity Entertainment, Marvel Entertainment, which was either completely finished or bottomed out, completed its own ice-breaking road.

The next step for Marvel Entertainment will be an earth-shattering screen legend - gathering members of the Women's Federation to shake the pattern of the film market.

Superheroes have shifted from slang to popularity, and the Marvel theme has changed from a hot potato to a box office hit.

But the sons sold by Marvel back then were still living under the obscenity of their stepfather, and they wanted to go home for a long time without a return date.

Ronan and James Murdoch are ostensibly on the same page, with a good will to talk about anything.

In fact, when the two negotiating teams of Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox sat down at the table again, everything became extremely difficult again.

"X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" are still floating outside.

In addition, Twentieth Century Fox holds the rights to street superheroes such as Daredevil and Erica.

Despite the box office hits of "Daredevil Man" and "Erica," Twentieth Century Fox would rather make another bad movie within the contract period than give the rights to these superheroes back to Marvel Entertainment.

This is destined to be a war to take down the other company's company if you want to let your sons go home.

In contrast, the situation is better on the Spider-Man side.

Sony Columbia Pictures has a deal with Relativity Entertainment, and Marvel Entertainment gets a bigger share of the Spider-Man movie.

At present, not counting "Spider-Man 3", which is still in theaters, Marvel Entertainment has received a profit share of $65 million from the two Spider-Man movies.

On the other hand, Sony's willingness to pay Marvel Entertainment so much is enough to prove the terrifying profitability of the "Spider-Man" movie.

However, the copyright matter of "Spider-Man" can only be retreated, and Relativity Entertainment does not have the ability to start a war with two of the six at the same time.

Ronan wouldn't be so inflated.

The global box office of "Hulk" soon exceeded 200 million US dollars, and after completing the final promotion of the film, Joss Whedon did not rest and devoted himself to the preparation of "The Avengers" with great enthusiasm.

The first is the script, which is the basis of the movie, and what bothers Joss Whedon the most is how to integrate Thor, a costume fantasy superhero, into a modern superhero team.

Joss Whedon once wanted to remove Thor from the Avengers, but got a negative answer from Ronan and Kevin Feige.

The "Thor" movie has been filmed, post-production is about to be completed, and it will be released during the holidays this year, how can you not participate in the Avengers?

It's not easy to put these characters together, because fundamentally, this group of people doesn't belong in a movie.

But Ronan has already provided the crew with an outline of the script, and Joss Whedon and the Sand Sea Entertainment screenwriting team can write the script based on the outline.

The film has Iron Man as the core, the secondary roles are Captain America and Black Widow, and the roles of Thor, Hulk and Hawkeye are reduced in turn.

There are many characters in the film, and each character is a star, so it is impossible to distribute the scenes equally.

Movies are the art of regret, no matter what aspect or when, regrets will be left, and the average scene is simply an unrealistic idea.

Besides, there will be a huge difference in the popularity of each superhero character.

Why did Iron Man become the absolute core? Why did he snap his fingers in the end, because he was the most popular in the entire Avengers movie.

Okay, Iron Man snapped his fingers, and because things must be reversed, and more money dies first - on the whole set, you are the highest salary, who are you not on? If you don't die, who will die?

Therefore, some superheroes must play a supporting role in "The Avengers".

Actually, this will not disappoint, because there will be a lot of action scenes in the film in the future, and although there are so many superheroes together, the film will always be an action movie.

Those big-scene action scenes are the flesh and blood of this movie.

Even with Ronan's script outline, Joss Wheddon's early work was still tough.

There is no such thing as a super mash-up movie.

Joss Whedon has experience in this area, and the lessons from "Firefly" have also made him more clear-headed.

Frankly speaking, in the minds of the filmmakers, this movie is not a sought-after sweetheart, and the reason is actually very simple - too many heroes, too many different superpowers, too difficult to mix.

Originally, Kevin Feige talked to Jon Favreau about this directorial position, but Jon Favreau thought that he was not capable enough in this area and took the initiative to choose to give up.

Later, Jon Favreau also specifically explained to Ronan that "I can't direct this movie because it's too difficult." I created a high-tech Iron Man in the movie, but now he's fighting the Avengers, and there's mythical characters like Thor, and some supernatural abilities that don't fit in with high-tech. It's actually very difficult to mix these elements together. It's okay to do that in comics, but in movies, I can't shoot like that. ”

The Pacific Investment Fund's first $30 million start-up fund arrived, and Joss Whedon's goal was to complete and finalize the script within six months.

In addition, after negotiations with Kevin Feige, Ronan decided to make "The Avengers" the first 3D film in the Marvel's Avengers universe.

This is done for nothing other than to increase business revenue.

Ronan also took Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon to see "Transformers", which will be released on Independence Day this year, hoping that the special effects of "The Avengers" can fully crush "Transformers".

Special effects production is also the top priority of this commercial production.

The last weekend of May is approaching, and before the traditional Memorial Day holiday in North America, two more big productions are released, Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible 3" and Universal Pictures' "Fake Gods 2".

Ronan accepted Tom Cruise's invitation to attend the premiere of "Mission Impossible 3" at the Oriental Theatre in Hollywood.

"Welcome, Ronan. ”

In the theater VIP room, Tom Cruise, as the host, hugged Ronan and asked, "Where's Jesse? ”

Ronan explained simply, "She was working on a new project and was going to Boston with the director to inspect the location. ”

Tom Chris nodded slightly and asked, "I've heard a lot of people mention that Jesse is a workaholic?"

There is no need for Ronan to deny it: "Jesse is very attentive to his work. ”

Will Smith also came over at this time, and looked angry at Ronan, "Ronan, you have embarked on an evil path!"

Ronan shrugged his shoulders and said directly, "Will, I remember you were married, right?"

Hearing this, Will Smith was speechless and could only shake his head vigorously.

Tom Cruise said again, "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you last time. I've talked to Brad Bird many times and feel that he is a perfect fit for the Mission: Impossible franchise and am ready to ask him to be the leading actor in the next one. ”

Brad Bird is one of the five Tigers at Pixar Studios and has a contract with Pixar Studios himself.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "As long as you negotiate with Brad Bird and Pixar Studios, I have no opinion. ”

Tom Cruise said: "I'll get people to have formal contact with them when I get back. ”

There were other guests to receive, and Tom Cruise quickly went somewhere else.

Will Smith didn't leave, and said to Ronan, "There have been some issues between Tom and Paramount Pictures lately. ”

"I've heard that. Ronan said calmly, "The conflict of interests in the "Mission Impossible" series is unavoidable, and I believe Tom can solve it." ”

The rights to this series are in the hands of Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures, respectively, and no one can get rid of anyone as long as a new sequel is filmed.

From "Mission Impossible 2" to the third part, a considerable part of the reason why it has dragged on for so long is that the two parties have not negotiated the distribution of benefits.

Entering the screening room, Ronan's seat was next to Shirley Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures.

This was clearly deliberately arranged.

"Marvel's main superhero movies have been successful one after another, which is gratifying. Shirley Lansing said congratulations, but she had her own calculations in her heart" Such a first-line big production has huge investment costs and will occupy a large area of capital flow. Ronan, haven't you considered accepting foreign investment? Paramount Pictures is willing to share the risk and pressure of Relativity Entertainment. ”

This was said quite beautifully, and Ronan replied with a smile, "Thank you very much for the kindness of Paramount Pictures, Relativity Entertainment can still bear this pressure, so it won't bother Paramount Pictures." ”

Shirley Lansing suddenly said, "What if Paramount Pictures gave all the rights to the Mission: Impossible series back to Tom Cruise?"

Hearing this, Ronan couldn't help but glance at Shirley Lansing, and said in a flat but firm tone, "This is a problem between Paramount Pictures and Tom, and it has nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment." ”

Shirley Lansing could sense that Ronan was very resolute and didn't say anything more in the end.

Even if Shirley Lansing said these words, Ronan didn't think about Paramount Pictures' supposed help with Relativity Entertainment to share the stress and trouble.

In this kind of huge affairs, he distinguishes very clearly, friendship belongs to friendship, and business belongs to business.

It is impossible for Ronan to drag an extremely important part of the entire group of companies, or even one of the core operating projects of the future, into a huge quagmire because of personal relationships.
