In this era, Hollywood's first-line commercial productions will only appear in two time periods, namely the summer file and the holiday file starting in November.

Compared with the holiday file closely connected with the awards season, the summer file is undoubtedly more suitable for commercial productions.

In the whole summer file, the hottest is May.

The North American film market has experienced months of relatively lukewarm screenings, and audiences' anticipation and hunger often reach a peak in May, and they will also give generously to films that will arouse their interest.

Every year, as the beginning of the summer season, May is often the period when the most first-line top commercial productions are released, and films that have enough confidence in themselves are often released in May.

In the summer of 2005, the beginning was the much-talked-about "Spy 3" under Relativity Entertainment, and in the following weeks, there will be "Heavenly Dynasty" by Twentieth Century Fox, "Escape from Clone Island" by DreamWorks and Michael Bay, the first animated feature film "Despicable Me" by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, and George Lucas's last Star Wars movie "Heath's Revenge" will be released one after another.

All parties are competing for hegemony, and they all want to get the richest piece of cake in the summer file.

Summer file, the beginning of the entry**.

But before the arrival of the summer season, two news closely related to movies instantly exploded the North American entertainment market.

Marvel Entertainment announced the end of the series in the last issue of the Fantastic Four comics published in April, and the final issue of the comics was also published at the same time.

The Fantastic Four, who had committed a lot of crimes before and completely turned into villains who did all kinds of evil, tried in vain to destroy the United States, but was stopped by the Avengers led by Iron Man and Captain America, and gathered members such as Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow, and the two sides started a fierce battle in New York.

During this time, the Fantastic Four took the entire island of Manhattan hostage and threatened the Avengers.

After a tough battle, the Avengers eventually defeated the Fantastic Four, saving New York and the United States, as well as Manhattan.

But many people still die as a result.

At the end of the comic, the public, the media, and the government angrily denounced the Fantastic Four for their crimes, nailing the Fantastic Four to the pillar of shame.

At the same time, because of the impact on many civilians, another voice began to appear, who gave the Avengers the right to enforce the law? Does the Avengers have the right to enforce the law? Should they also be restricted, so as to avoid falling like the Fantastic Four under strong supervision?

After all, the fall of the Fantastic Four has caused a series of negative effects around the world.

At the end of the comic, the United Nations and the U.S. Department of State are preparing to introduce a measure to restrain and monitor superheroes - the Superhero Registration Act!

In order to make the image of the Fantastic Four villains more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at Ronan's suggestion, Marvel's most famous major event, "Civil War", which has been well received by all walks of life, uses the fall of the Fantastic Four as the villain as the fuse and beginning.

As soon as it entered May, Marvel Entertainment immediately launched the ready-to-go "Civil War" comics, and the crimes of the Fantastic Four were mentioned again and again, completely becoming the supervillains in the comics.

As soon as the "Civil War" comic came out, the American comic book industry was in an uproar, and the political thriller elements involved in it were undoubtedly a reflection of real society, and were well received by both inside and outside the industry.

Driven by Relativity Entertainment, the related publicity hype immediately followed, and in this information age, once the popularity rises, the influence instantly spreads beyond the comics.

With the support of Relativity Entertainment, Marvel's "Civil War" comics, although they have just begun, have spread their influence to the United States.

Similarly, because of the relationship vigorously promoted by Relativity Entertainment, the Fantastic Four has also become a villain comic book character on the stinky street.

And unlike Thanos, a villain with ideals and personalities who is committed to family planning, the Fantastic Four is completely self-willing.

This has also caused the media to start looking down on "Fantastic Four", which will be released next month.

"As once the signature characters of Marvel Comics, the fall of the Fantastic Four has triggered a split among superheroes. Some media said: "This will allow comic book fans to further solidify the comic image of the Fantastic Four, and the film adaptation as the protagonist of justice will inevitably be negatively affected." ”

According to the information obtained by Ronan, Twentieth Century Fox discussed the postponement of the release of "Fantastic Four", but finally decided to open the film in North America on the original schedule.

Some executives of Twentieth Century Fox believe that the longer the release time of "Fantastic Four" drags on, the longer the influence of the comics ferments, and the more unfavorable it is for the movie.

"Fantastic Four 2", which was originally planned, was also temporarily shelved by Twentieth Century Fox.

Twentieth Century Fox's resources on commercial blockbusters have been shifted to two main areas: one is to continue to increase the development of the "X-Men" series and related spin-off films, such as the independent films of Magneto, Professor X and Wolverine, and the other is to fully promote the war epic project.

The adaptation of "Exodus" has long been established, and Ridley Scott has also signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox as the director of this project, and Twentieth Century Fox has already invested tens of millions of dollars in months of preparation.

Because of the successful cooperation between "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow", Twentieth Century Fox was more proactive in promoting Roland Emmerich's "10,000 Years Before History", and the project not only began to prepare, but even the hero and heroine were determined, and after the initial investment of $20 million was spent, the second amount of up to $30 million was also transferred from Twentieth Century Fox to the account of a third party.

Another project based on "Robin Hood" is relatively much behind, and Twentieth Century Fox is recruiting screenwriters to write the screenplay.

Even with the strength of Hollywood's six major companies, they will not push forward too many top big production projects in the same period.

But "10,000 Years Before History" and "Moses Opens the Sea" are two projects that Twentieth Century Fox has already invested heavily in, and it will be very difficult to change his mind and get out of it.

Sometimes, Hollywood is also very stubborn, facing some unknown and uncontrollable situations, such as the entanglement between Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron's "Titanic", Universal Pictures' repeated delays and additional investment in "Future Waterworld", etc., the final choice of the production company is to continue to invest and make the film.

Because if it is made, the film may be successful, and once the project is rejected, the initial investment will be completely wasted.

There have been too many cases in Hollywood where everyone is not optimistic, and there are all kinds of accidents during filming, but the box office hits after the release.

The most typical, George Lucas's "Star Wars: A New Hope", was criticized as useless by company representatives in the industry and professional film critics outside the industry during the test screening, but it was released beyond everyone's expectations, staged a Jedi counterattack, and even became a representative of American pop culture.

At that time, George Lucas was scolded for being suspicious, and even he himself was not optimistic about the movie, so in order to be released, he had to sell the screening rights of the film to Twentieth Century Fox so that it could appear in theaters.

Fortunately, toys and other peripherals of live-action movies were not taken seriously at that time, and Twentieth Century Fox itself was not very optimistic about "Star Wars: A New Hope", and did not talk to George Lucas about peripheral rights at all.

Lucasfilm is a bit confused and keeps all the surrounding rights of Star Wars.

This is also the key to the rise of Lucasfilm.

But there is one thing George Lucas cannot be recovered, just as the rights to Pixar's animated feature films are in the hands of Disney, the rights to "Star Wars: A New Hope" have always been in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox.

Whether it is the alumni association of the USC Film School or the deployment of Twentieth Century Fox, Ronan is actually preparing for the future.

Neither Ronan nor Marvel Entertainment wants Fantastic Four to be a success.

Another piece of news that detonated the entertainment market is also related to Relativistic Entertainment, and its influence and topicality even far exceed that of the news about "Fantastic Four".

After a long period of brewing, the media that got the real evidence reported at length and the super gossip that caused a sensation in the United States and even the world!

Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and after the post-production dubbing of the male and female protagonists together in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jennifer Aniston personally caught the two in bed.

The three parties are all famous Hollywood stars, especially Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who are known as Hollywood's golden boys.

Rachel gets love, and the princess lives happily ever after.

This is the previous media depiction of the happy life of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.

Now, the princess has been split by the prince, and all the good love is disillusioned like a bubble.

Compared with Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie is bold and spicy, and in the face of interviews with media reporters, she did not hesitate to admit her affair with Brad Pitt, claiming that the real love between the two is the same.

A super triangular gossip has kicked off, and with the help of relativity entertainment, its sensationality and influence have completely surpassed that of the previous paragraph.

Jennifer Aniston is tragic, but for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it's good publicity that can't be said again.

Many fans saw the large poster of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and kept scolding "dog men and women", but their hearts were full of curiosity - what kind of film can make Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hook up?

Compared with the overwhelming gossip scandals of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the upcoming "Spy 3" is a bit silent, but with the first two movies as a foundation, no one can underestimate this film.
