Chapter 663: Embarrassing Incense in the Wall

As a time-traveler, Li Mo naturally came to this time and space with basic skills.

The so-called basic skills here refer to all the skills of the past life in the mind and the memory of certain film and television works.

The former helped Li Mo change from an eighteenth-tier actor who had no choice but to mortgage his real estate and fight to turn around in just a few years to become the current boss of Molong Media, while the latter helped him to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages when making certain decisions, and seek the greatest interests for himself and his company within the scope permitted by the rules.

Unfortunately, manpower is sometimes poor.

Li Mo only traveled with some memories of the original time and space, not with an entire database or an alien system, so when using his skills, it was good to say that over time, when he relied on the memories in his mind to make certain decisions, it was inevitable that he would make mistakes.

In the judgment of the Celestial Empire film market after "Fast and Furious 7", Li Mo made an empirical mistake.

He overestimated the impact of "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" on the domestic market.

At that point in time when Li Mo traveled, Marvel's superheroes had swept the world through the rhythm of one single movie a year and one "Avengers" every two to three years, directly pressing the DC superheroes of the old film production company Warner, a trend not only in North America, but also in the world's recognized second largest film market - Celestial Empire.

Just like "Avengers 3", although it can only be regarded as a super-long trailer, it has also achieved a box office of 2.4 billion in the Celestial Empire.

Although the heroine of "Captain Marvel" does not meet the aesthetics of most Celestial Empire masters, it still won a billion-level box office by virtue of the terrible schedule of Women's Day.

As for "Avengers 4"?

That thing directly refreshed the box office record of foreign movies and won 4.2 billion yuan......

Under the influence of this aura, when Li Mo saw that "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" was on the movie release schedule in May 2015, he also subconsciously regarded it as a blockbuster film that took over "Furious 7" and continued to dominate the market.

…… However, this is not the case.

Because the director of this movie did a big death.

Joss Vuitton, the director of "Avengers 1", was careless this time and messed up.

His actions directly led to the overall trend of the entire "Avengers" series, "Avengers 2" became the most failed of the four films.

This director from the United Kingdom who admires Shakespeare, after the great success of "Avengers 1", when directing "Avengers 2", I don't know if he recalled the "Firefly" he filmed back then, and actually hoped to shoot a more "profound" and "connotation" superhero movie.

Taillight God, anyway, there was a big guy before you who had a very similar idea to you, but it was the Hulk who was tossed by him back then......

That's right, the one I'm talking about is the famous two-time Oscar winner, director Li An.

"The Incredible Hulk", directed by Lee On and invested by Universal Pictures, suffered heavy losses, and eventually Universal Pictures even relaxed the copyright of characters that were considered forbidden in Hollywood, and finally shared the image of the Hulk with Marvel.

Although Universal Pictures did not finally give up the rights to the role of the Hulk, it also decided to keep it in cold storage indefinitely, at least Universal Pictures will not invest in filming "The Incredible Hulk" in a short period of time.........

As for Marvel?

I'm sorry, Universal and Marvel are just licensing relationships, and what they want to shoot has nothing to do with us......

The taillight god was not so exaggerated, making "Avengers 2" completely crash, but the destructive power he caused was not small.

Originally, a movie like the "Avengers" series, as long as the main popcorn was the main picture, the first thing to do was a smooth visual appearance, plus some high-tech ingredients, and a beauty to embellish it, and these two hours passed.

What they are facing is the ordinary public, fulfilling the dream of heroes and beauties.

The Marvel Universe started with "Iron Man" in 2008, and now it is its seventh year, but among the current mainstream movie-watching groups, how many people don't know Iron Man, how many don't know Captain America, how many people don't know the graceful Black Widow?

To put it simply, as long as these people appear on the big screen at the same time, make a slightly more reliable plot, a villain who is powerful enough, hot action scenes, and keep fighting, the global box office should not be bad......

Not to mention that this one also adds a brand new female superhero, Scarlet Witch......

Although because of copyright disputes, Scarlet Witch can't show her signature nickname, nor can she announce the father-daughter relationship with Magneto, but with Elizabeth Olsen's convex figure and strong ability, how can she also attract a wave of fans?

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Not only that, but the promotion and release of this film in the Celestial Empire did not follow the path of synchronization between China and the United States.

If the taillight god is considered to be his own death, plus more private goods, then Di Baobao is a little too trusting of his own Wang Bang.

As early as the 22nd of last month, "Avengers 2" has been released in various regions around the world, but North America waited until May 1 to officially launch.

On the Celestial Empire's side, it will be even later, waiting until May 12 to officially go online.

It is said that this is to avoid being swept by the tail of "Furious 7", so Di Baobao postponed the release time in the Celestial Empire region for half a month.

On the first day of launch, as the latest work of the "Avengers" series, the major theaters of the Celestial Empire also gave enough face, and the number of films in "Avengers 2" was as high as 68, and it won 99.7 billion yuan at the box office in the first weekend.

It's a pity that for "Avengers 2", this is already the film's highest moment in the Celestial Empire film market.

The next weekend, "Avengers 2" performed reasonably well, winning 3.5 billion yuan at the box office;

In the third week, box office revenue plummeted by about 65 percent, which can exceed 100 million;

Week 4......

The final box office of "Avengers 2" can reach 14.6 billion, although the number is already a billion-level hit compared to other domestic films, but as a Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of up to 2.5 billion US dollars, especially when "Furious 7" is in front of the jade, the results of "Avengers 2" in the mainland of the Celestial Empire can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

What's even worse is that in other film markets other than the Celestial Empire, compared with "Avengers 1" a few years ago, "Avengers 2" has almost been exhausted in just half a month after its release, although there is no problem with the global box office exceeding one billion, but if you want to reach the 15.3 billion of the previous work, there is basically no hope......

…… The expected results announced by Di Baobao before are that the global box office will exceed 2 billion......

If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Empire market contributed almost $200 million, the statistics of "Avengers 2" would undoubtedly be even more ugly.

A few months later, Di Baobao officially announced that Joss Vuitton, the director of "Avengers 2", had officially left the director of the "Avengers" series due to personal reasons, and the director of "Avengers 3" was replaced by brothers Anthony Russell and Joe Russo......

The taillight god can be regarded as paying the price for his persistence.

The popularity of "Avengers 2" has just cooled down, and the reboot of another Hollywood classic movie is already on the way, which is "Jurassic World" produced by Spielberg.
