Mark successfully persuaded Kevin and appeased the Warner Bros., the most prestigious and prestigious Warner Bros. within the Time Warner Group, which disappointed many people who wanted to see his jokes.

Who doesn't know that Mark is short of money, and is preparing to sell the industry to make money, even the Times Publishing Group can sell it, what else can't be sold? So Mark has successfully established his prestige, except for the people in the publishing department who hate Mark to death, and the villain who stabs him every day, now no one dares to mess with Mark, this is a person who does what he says, who is sure that he will do it with himself?

In this way, Mark is somewhat idle.

In 2009, Mark did not release any works, but there were several works in preparation, "The Avengers", "The Dark Knight Rises", and the rumored "Star Wars 7", there was only one title, and there was not even a script in addition.

In the face of Lucasfilm's enthusiasm and desire to make a new Star Wars movie, so that the MM family can see the power of Star Wars, Mark and Lucas sat down and immediately had an idea, the new film is called "Rogue One", written by Mark.

The story of the film is based on a sentence from the opening credits of the first Star Wars film in 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope.

In the opening credits of Star Wars: A New Hope, it is mentioned that the Empire has built a planet-destroying superweapon called the "Death Star", and a rebel scout has obtained the blueprint with the Achilles heel of the "Death Star" and teleported it to Princess Leia. The plot of "Rogue One" revolves around this sentence, telling the story of how the rebel team led by Jean Ersop, the daughter of the chief designer of the "Death Star", broke through many obstacles and won the design of the "Death Star".

The film's subtitle, Rogue One, is a codename given to the team members who stole the Death Star's blueprints.

Rogue One, the first independent film in the Star Wars franchise and will not make a sequel, was originally conceived by ILM veteran VFX supervisor John Knoll, whose relationship with the Star Wars franchise dates back to the mid-90s, and when he and Lucas introduced the concept to Mark, they immediately gained support.

"Star Wars" as the grandmaster of soft science fiction movies, its magnificent Force world and dazzling visual effects are the value of maintaining word of mouth, compared with hard science fiction movies, although the core of Star Wars is slightly lacking, but in terms of taste, it is more able to cater to the vast majority of theater audiences, completely independent of the main story of Star Wars, "Rogue One", with decades of inherent feelings, this kind of peripheral sales, will be the main successful way of commercial IP, but also the way to build the movie universe.

In addition to giving the audience a strong emotional power, it is also generally possible to make people feel that they are alive and alive, which can be said to be a relatively simple way to pursue individual existence.

However, with the passage of time, the series of IP works are squeezed and extracted again and again, and there is often a phenomenon of "nothing to say", and this situation is more likely to make the film company reborn it into a new thing, extending and extending, resulting in the new work itself losing its original cultural heritage, and constantly striding in the direction of complete commercialization, thus forming the first Laokou beer and other ways to make money at the box office.

Overall, the original movie "Rogue One" is a commercial film with all indicators qualified, A-level ultra-industrial special effects, clear fan orientation, impeccable completion, and standard three-act plot promotion, no matter how you look at it, it is the top brand of the theater. "Rogue One" is infinitely close to the style of popcorn movies, the visual effects eat the audience, the popcorn style grabs people, and the IP popularity continues to affect and influence on social platforms, and the question of "is it worth watching" will eventually evolve into a group fun.

There are not too many shortcomings, nor too many highlights, the film is most proud of the handling of the ending plot, such as the suicide squad-style character design is the tension of "Rogue One", although the plot of the main characters going to death is to force sensationalism to the audience, but at least it is not a second-phase unfinished building for Star Wars.

Just as the film strives to express the fact that there are a lot of sacrifices behind the success, "Rogue One" throws away the possibility of the next one to complete the first part without vulgar scenes, all in all, the characters are too weak to lack the strength of the work, and the group scene has become the most difficult shortcoming of the film, which is what Mark needs to solve.

The vast history of Star Wars has gradually become clear under the display of the side plot of "Rogue One", and the Hollywood film industry model may continue to be reflected in subsequent works, with gorgeous tradition on the outside and simplicity on the inside, "Rogue One" is not a palace-level work anyway, and it can't even compare with "Phantom Crisis" It's comparable, but for fans, the haze is enough to provide motivation, even without the clash of laser swords and the Force of the Jedi, just having the white-armored Imperial Stormtroopers is enough.

What's more important is to make money, for film companies, the most important thing is that the work can make money, like Paramount spent 150 million to produce the literary film "The Curious Case of Ben Jenjamin Button", which is a recognized stupid thing, like the major film companies are operating Olympic works, and in the end it is still for money, and it is impossible to run a company without money.

Besides, what's the problem with being ridiculed for using feelings to make money? Movies are originally the art of feelings, and it is better to use this method to get the audience into the cinema than to use propaganda to lure people in.

And the development and operation of movie peripherals is Lucasfilm's forte, and the "Star Wars" six-part series is laughed at by people, and a crab is not as good as a crab, but the fact that each film causes a huge sensation and makes a lot of money is ironclad.

As a side story, Rogue One brings a whole new breath to the classics, with no Jedi, no lightsabers, and no Skywalker Shakespearean family ethic, it can be said that it has completely stepped out of the classic mode and derived an absolutely new story, such a bold idea, just thinking about it makes people excited, this is a side story, it is the beginning of a new series, in their words, a new hope for the rebirth of the classic.

This time they just made up a story from the subtitles of the first Star Wars series, which is a testament to the classics and greatness of the original Star Wars, and also to enrich the story and world of this Star Wars universe, in fact, for decades, they have made a lot of efforts and done a lot of work for this universe, "Star Wars" The six-part series is regarded as the canonical history, and they have also made a lot of cartoons and written a lot of side stories, echoing the canonical history of Star Wars from the side, all of which are stories under the same structure and world view, until Marvel proposed the Marvel Universe, and they also tossed out their own cinematic universe.

George Lucas is no longer in an executive position, but he is still the soul of Lucas, and now his title is Chief Advisor, filming Star Wars Gaiden, without his nod, it can't be.

Fortunately, this idea completely hit his G-spot, and he readily agreed, MM is the most popular company in Hollywood, the four major production brands are well-known all over the world, and the internal competition is quite fierce, Lucasfilm doesn't show its strength, who is the same thing for you? They don't want to be just a special effects company, just provide special effects support for the group.

Lucas is worried about the problem of beer, the new Star Wars trilogy has been a huge success at the box office, but the beer is really not good, many fans who have 2 brushes and N brushes say they don't like it, but this time Mark assured that the black pot will be carried by him, and he will serve as the producer of the new movie, while Lucas is in charge of creativity, if there is merit, he will receive it, and if there is a pot, he will throw it, such a good thing is refused, it is a bit unreasonable, Lucas went into the water.

Moreover, now that the world is changing, if Lucasfilm wants to survive, it must adapt to the trend and constantly launch new works, and the influence of a work is always limited.

Classics don't have to be shelved, they can be awakened in the right way, at the right time, and with the right creation. Just like "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" lives up to the name of Lucas, it continues cleverly and shoots wonderfully. From the indispensable sci-fi classics of the year, to today's visual feast for all ages, popcorn movies, this gaiden is in this way, letting Star Wars take off its halo and enter the homes of ordinary people with a new look.

What's more, now the box office of super blockbusters has a new standard, that is, to break through one billion, several big-selling IP works are gearing up, ready to challenge this goal, and now the "Transformers 2" that has swept the world is moving towards this goal, it is entirely possible to become MM's first global blockbuster to break one billion, this Colombia is very arrogant, and now "Transformers" The box office of Beimi has exceeded the media's estimate of 450 million, the global is 960 million, and now there are tens of millions of dollars in the world every month, and MM Group is determined to put him into one billion before going offline.

And this has put great pressure on Lucasfilm, where it is all the same, there is no strength and confidence, and whoever can make money for the company will have a high status, in view of this, under Mark's threading of the needle, Lucasfilm quickly passed the resolution to produce a Star Wars Gaiden and promoted it on the official website, which is great news for Star Wars fans.

Since "Return of the Jedi" in '83, "Star Wars Prequel: Phantom Crisis" has been released sixteen years later, who wants to wait for 16 years?
