This "Spider-Man" is a milestone for Hollywood superhero movies, and it is Peter Parker's success on the big screen that has opened up sales for superhero movies all over the world.

For example, before the release of "X-Men" in 2000, most people's concept of superheroes stayed on Superman and Batman, and at that time, people around him had not even heard of DC and Marvel.

With Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X gradually came into view.

Even so, "X-Men" gives the impression that it is just a movie of a group of superpowers, and although Uncle Wolf is extremely popular, it is not a superhero movie that saves humanity.

Until the release of "Spider-Man" in 2002.

The birth of this work made the concept of superheroes begin to become popular all over the world, and countless people around the world went crazy about it, which greatly promoted the development of superhero comic films.

The movie's adaptation of the comics is very large, and even the Spider-Man in the movie has a very upside down personality with the Spider-Man in the mainstream comics.

Of course, the bitter Tobey Maguire will not be a mouth-cannon type jumping spider, in this "Spider-Man", Spider-Man, one of Marvel's two mouthed cannons, has no play at all.

In fact, such a movie is not easy, it has to face the scrutiny of hardcore fans, but also to please viewers who are not familiar with the original work, and to make up for the vacancy that Spider-Man has not had a movie for decades.

If you go back to the '80s or early '90s, the era of special effects films, anyone trying to shoot Spider-Man would obviously be seen as unwise because it was too difficult to portray.

So from any point of view, this movie series is a pioneer, and "Spider-Man" can also be considered the first to eat crabs.

And the adaptation of the film was quite successful.

The thrilling, fast-diving, flying shots of the city are very successful, and the comic exaggerated filming and storytelling are refreshing.

The film was a huge success.

Ronan is very concerned about every move of "Spider-Man" because he holds the copyright of the Marvel superhero movie.

As soon as Pu was released, the film set several records one after another, such as the unprecedented opening of 3,615 theaters in North America, such as the highest Friday and Saturday box office in North American history, and the highest opening weekend box office in North America.

The $114.84 million in the first three days made "Spider-Man" the first film in North America to break 100 million at the box office in the first week.

Since then, the bar for Hollywood's top blockbuster first-weekend box office success has been raised to $100 million.

The huge success of "Spider-Man" has made countless people, including Ronan, envious, this is more than a gold mine!

Only Marvel Comics was overjoyed, saddened and cried alone.

His own son was successful and got countless benefits, but most of the profits fell into the pocket of his godfather, and Marvel's father made limited profits.

On the contrary, many comic book fans ran to the Marvel Comics headquarters to protest, believing that the movie adaptation ruined the original comics.

This kind of thing can never be avoided in film adaptations.

But for a movie to be successful, an adaptation is a must.

Perhaps, the production team and Sony Columbia are also aware of the impact that the current social situation may have on the film.

Therefore, this "Spider-Man" keeps showing people a simple, unlucky, and even stupid bubbling hero, which makes people wonder - where is the clever Peter Parker who likes to play poorly, high-spirited, and talented? The cute little spider is gone, replaced by a silly boy named Tobey Maguire, who was lucky enough to get superpowers.

After Tobey Maguire takes off Spider-Man's clothes, he is just a stunned young man that most people don't want to look at more, with a mediocre appearance, a little dull, and often makes mistakes, making people think that he is good for nothing but superpowers.

But Peter Parker in the movie is kind and lovely at heart, honest and simple, full of love, and loyal to love, just like every ordinary person in life.

It can only be said that in each era, the protagonist that the audience needs is not the same.

According to the original routine, Peter Parker is very handsome, a high school student can engage in atomic science, has a lot of romantic affairs, loves to play tricks, and does not worry about food and clothing......

It is estimated that many people accept incompetence.

This "Spider-Man" also set a deep enough spiritual core for the superhero theme in the next few years - the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

If Nolan's Batman takes this philosophy to the extreme, then "Spider-Man" is the creator of this connotation.

In just ten days, "Spider-Man" reached $225 million at the North American box office, breaking almost all the breakable North American box office records.

"It's a shame. ”

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Robert Lee shook his head vigorously: "We got so many Marvel superheroes, but there is no Spider-Man among them." ”

Robert Iger looked at Ronan: "We were too late. ”

Ronan was a little helpless and said: "When I entered the film industry, the copyright of Spider-Man was already in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures, and I asked Columbia that Spider-Man was not for sale. ”

Robert Iger said: "I thought 'Spider-Man' would be a success, but I didn't expect it to be so successful, superhero movies, maybe no longer a sub-genre in the future. ”

"Nowadays, special effects technology is developing rapidly, especially computer special effects. Ronan is very calm: "These have improved the most basic technical support for the realization of superhero cinematization, and the success of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" proves that an era of superhero movies has begun. ”

Robert Lee, who has always been well-informed, said at this time: "It is said that several companies are moving forward with superhero movie projects. Twentieth Century Fox's "Daredevil Man" began filming in March, and "Fantastic Four" was also put on their daily routine. Universal Pictures' "The Incredible Hulk" is said to have moved into post-production and will be released next year. ”

He went on to talk about Marvel next door: "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are working on Catwoman, and if nothing else, new Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry will play Selena Kyle." The new movie "Superman" has been in preparation since Warner Bros. was made two years ago, and it is estimated that preparations will be made soon......"

Robert Iger continued: "Superhero movies are going to flock to it. ”

Robert Lee added: "Most of these films, with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, are top-tier commercial productions. He looked serious: "With the success of "Spider-Man", many companies want a piece of the superhero pie. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Recently, many people have been contacting me to buy the superhero rights in our hands. ”

"You are very visionary. Robert Iger felt that he couldn't do without admiration: "Such a low price, I bought the rights to so many superheroes. ”

He laughed: "Even if we sell the copyright, it's a lot of money." ”

Ronan shook his head: "We won't sell the copyright, and we will try our best to collect the copyright of Marvel superheroes in the hands of major Hollywood companies." ”

"I've been keeping an eye on the companies where the rights to these superheroes are located, and if it's possible to buy them, I'll do it as soon as possible," said Robert Lee. ”

Ronan reminded: "The first focus is on The Hulk in the hands of Universal Pictures. ”

Although he has not been in contact with Ang Lee for a long time, with Ang Lee's directing style, he will inevitably make "The Incredible Hulk" an author's movie.

It can be said that with Ang Lee's ability, a movie with an investment of one or two hundred million US dollars, Ang Lee can shoot casually according to his own style and ideas, he has a certain appeal, and the pressure to return to the cost is not great, but once the film investment is high, Ang Lee will make the author's movie again, and the risk will be doubled.

In fact, this is suitable for most film directors whose personal style is obviously biased towards literature and art.

"If Hulk is successful...... Robert Iger reminds, "we don't have a chance of winning the rights to Hulk." ”

Ronan nodded: "Yes, so we're going to pray that this superhero masterpiece fails." ”

If the film fails, not only will there be hope to negotiate the copyright of the Hulk with Universal Pictures, but it will also beckon Ang Lee to run back obediently.

This can be said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Robert Lee dealt with Ang Lee and said: "I hope Ang Lee adds more humanistic thinking to "The Incredible Hulk", just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", made into a literary film dressed in other clothes." ”

Unfamiliar with Ang Lee, Robert Iger didn't interject.

Ronan said lightly: "With my understanding of Ang Lee, this possibility is extremely great. ”

It is said that Universal Pictures gave Ang Lee the greatest trust, except for the final editing rights, all other powers were handed over to Ang Lee, and even the final editing rights were also asked to provide the finished version for Universal Pictures to review.

Ronan calculated that according to the development of the previous life, there is a possibility of talking about copyrights such as "Hulk" and "Daredevil", but the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" series are basically hopeless.

Robert Iger then asked, "When are we going to release a superhero movie?" and he was quite level-headed: "As things stand, the industry is extremely much following suit, and superhero movies require a lot of investment, so I suggest postponing it for a few years." ”

"That's what I think, too. Ronan said directly: "Let's wait a few years, and when the audience starts to get tired of the superheroes who hide their heads and faces, and then we will launch our superhero movies! ”

Robert Iger didn't quite understand what Ronan meant, so he looked at it curiously, and Ronan said simply: "The superheroes in our hands are basically members of the Avengers. ”

"Avengers?" Robert Iger is not stupid at all, but extremely smart: "Let the superheroes appear on the big screen as the Avengers?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "This is one of the most important parts of our future production plan. ”

Robert Iger immediately said: "I understand, I will keep it a secret. ”
