Chapter 325 Mark's Thoughts
Mark also has the spirit of Ah Q, and Martin gives him a strong pressure, an unprecedented sense of frustration, which he blames on God's trials, born in sorrow, and died in peace.
In the face of an opponent as strong as a mountain, he subconsciously chose to avoid it, and it is the most suitable thing to find something to do for himself, the global box office champion of North America, this is a good choice, for having the directing rights of "Batman" in his hands and a large number of superhero IPs in his hands, it is not very difficult.
This is an industry that worships geniuses and pursues elites, and a genius director is equivalent to a religious leader, with a large number of followers and followers.
Like James Cameron, the king of the world, after "Titanic" swept the world, he was a god in the first war, and he didn't play for several years, and his team is still waiting for him.
And Weta Digital and Weta Studios, which created the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", the world only knows Peter the Great, who knows that there are a bunch of other people?
Now DreamWorks Pictures can sell for $1.6 billion because it has the right of first refusal to cooperate with the great director Spielberg, not the more than 50 movies and a bunch of broken equipment in his library.
MM can soar and be highly sought after in the stock market, whether it is Columbia Pictures or MGM Pictures, many people believe that this is more due to King Mark, who has never lost his hand, and red top white is the norm in society, people are very willing to follow a person who has not missed a hand, extremely lucky, follow his side, make some small money, Mark has become the recognized spiritual leader of MM, and before Mark does not miss, this group will also move forward steadily.
And now Iron Man is nearing the end, and the scenes that need to be filmed have almost been filmed, and now the main thing is to make special effects shots and make up some shots.
All the special effects shots were filmed under the guidance of the visual effects supervisor, originally in terms of industrial light and magic, "Iron Man" is just an ordinary A-level plan, and there is no shortage of work in industrial light and magic, and there will be no courtesy, but Marvel has said that "Iron Man" is a big hit, and it will be made into a series, which is a big piece of fat.
The movie directed by Mark is a big hit, since "Batman" came out, it is known as the most in-depth and connotative superhero blockbuster, no one doubts it, Mark, who grew up in a foreign country, will not be able to make superhero blockbusters, Stan Lee, this old guy publicly declared, Mark is the most suitable person to make superhero blockbusters, seeing the clips cut out of "Iron Man", I cried, God restored!
In view of this, Marvel, which is holding MM's thick legs, will definitely make "Iron Man" a series, if Industrial Light and Magic does not accept, Weta Digital and the digital field will not be too much work, since Cameron and Winston, the two founders left the digital field, it D2 is not a threat to Industrial Light and Magic, but this Weta Digital is a sudden uprising, and the aggressive trend makes the pressure on Industrial Light and Magic more and more, so Industrial Light and Magic would rather vomit blood and open more production lines, rather than hand over the "Iron Man" project to Weta Digital.
Industrial Light & Magic couldn't afford to eat such a big piece of the cake, so they subcontracted to other companies, a total of more than 280 people from eight special effects companies provided special effects support for "Iron Man", and they even outsourced part of their business to special effects companies in Dongying, Xiangjiang, and India.
Now several big special effects companies, even if they can't do it, dare to eat your big orders, they can subcontract this part of the business to other special effects companies, and make a profit from it.
The original Sony image can be grown with the backing of Columbia Pictures, but Columbia and MGM were forcibly picked away by Martin, making them rootless duckweed, without the support of Columbia, it quickly withered, and MM's attitude was clear, and he would not hand over the big order in his hand to them, and the special effects were extremely money-burning, without the support of business, and the wealth was as thick as Soni, and he couldn't afford this bottomless pit of consumption.
It seems that industrial light and magic, digital field, and Weta Digital, these big special effects companies, are very happy to see one less competitor, so when subcontracting other businesses, they deliberately ignore the needs of Sooni images, so that his life is even more sad, and Soni has the meaning of ending it.
As the upper class industry of the film industry, the special effects company accounts for a deepening proportion, and the special effects industry has more and more power, Iger, Megan, and David try to control a special effects company to get rid of their dependence on other companies, such as the digital field that is now mired in financial quagmire, but it is just a good time for them to take control, and even the major shareholder Mai Bao hinted that if MM makes a move, he is willing to lead the way.
Since the last time he was a leading party, he successfully won the copyright of "Transformers", he has made a lot of profits from it, and was ordered by Mark to authorize him to prepare the movie version of "Transformers".
Mark is resolutely opposed to this proposal, the special effects industry is extremely money-burning, with large investment, high risk, and slow results, and the digital field has been a pit since Cameron and Winston left, and the future will end in bankruptcy, Mark understands the importance of the special effects industry, so he is eyeing Industrial Light and Magic.
ILM is now in full swing, and this year's "Star Wars Prequel 3" has taken his career to the next level, George Lucas, who is not short of money, where does he mean to sell? Not at all, with its transcendent status in Hollywood, unless he is willing to take the initiative, several other major film companies will never allow anyone to forcibly buy ILM, they will join forces to crush this intruder.
But Mark knows that Lucas has the intention of retiring, he is tired from work, and he wants to enjoy life and enjoy all his hard work, of course, this is a few years later, but Mark has patience, and he is willing to wait.
In Hollywood, Star Wars is recognized as a classic, super IP, many people think that the three main stories plus the three prequels have exhausted its market potential, its market value is not as good as before, Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm market has fallen, but Mark knows that this series has formed a world view, no matter how to explore it, there will be people willing to pay, its market potential, far from being explored, he is staring at this piece of fat, saying that Disney will not be allowed to get involved, since he has this plan, he is not interested in the digital field and developing his own special effects department。
Mark knows that as long as he lays out in advance, befriends Lucas, and has money in his hands, this industrial light and magic will fall into his hands sooner or later, and he just needs to make money with peace of mind and patience, so Mark is relieved to hand over the special effects to John, the visual effects director of Industrial Light and Magic, and let him preside over everything, he just asks for it, as for how to do it, it's their business, he Mark only needs the result, regardless of the process.
With his current status as Mark, it is impossible for him to personally supervise the production of every special effects shot like Cameron and Michael Bay, this is unlikely, he doesn't have that much time, if he does, he will be too busy to be busy, so for the production of the effect shots, he is all responsible for the VFX supervisor, and his deputy Fei Ru is responsible for supervision, he has a lot of time, so he shoulders the responsibility of supervision.
Favreaue is a real person, a generalist, although he is also a member of the Billions Club, but as Mark's deputy, he is the biggest card in Mark's many deputies before, but he has no embarrassment at all, he works diligently, and his trust in Mark is reciprocated with actual results.
On the set, Favreau is second only to Mark, and when Mark leaves the set, he is in charge of the billion-dollar project, and the producer Kevin Feige plays more in terms of logistical assistance and financial supervision and follow-up, and Favreau has enough time and energy to follow up on every link to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In the past, every deputy of Mark, after the end of a cooperation, will get a better status treatment, backed by the big tree of MM, there are more choices, do not have to worry about work, Fei Ru knows that as long as he does a good job, he will get respect and recognition.
After a general period of cooperation, he saw that Mark did not have any uniqueness in terms of filming techniques and scene scheduling, but his understanding of film art has a very high level of attainment, he has very high requirements for film lenses, how cool how to shoot, how to shoot with visual impact, before the start of filming, he is confident, knows what kind of image he wants, and will also tell the filmmaker through the storyboard drama what he wants.
Mark's approach is more like the directing technique of these wild directors, who dares to take the vision of the way lightly? James Cameron was born in the wild fox, Mark seems to copy his path to success, but Mark has more talent and resources, and the whole group is supporting him.
And Favreau can also see that Mark does not have Cameron's fanaticism and passion, film is not his belief, but a tool to achieve his goals, and Mark will most likely be like Jerry Bruckheimer, after great success in directing, turn behind the scenes and become a professional producer.
It's just that this guy Mark is too rebellious, and in just three years, he has achieved heights that many people can't reach in their lifetimes, and has become the head of a giant company.
When old-timers like Steven Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer were still working hard for their own production companies, his MM had acquired Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures in the eyes of the world, and quickly completed the integration.
I wish you all book friends a happy new year.
