Kevin? Feige didn't say yes right away, but was considering the pros and cons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Increasing investment is easy to say, but for a film company, it is not so easy. Especially Marvel's economy is independent, and the box office of "Spider-Man 2" is good, but it has not yet reached the end date.

Originally, "Fantastic Four" was a group of heroes with no foundation, Kevin? Feige didn't plan to invest too much, and the estimated production cost was only $100 million. But now Liu Anran's words also made him pay attention to it.

The drama of group heroes is not easy to film, you must not only highlight the ability of this group, but also show the ability of each hero. Although X-Men is successful, it doesn't mean that another group of heroes launched this time will also be successful.

And the launch of "Fantastic Four" is also to prepare for the future Marvel Universe, and there will be a big drama when the time is ripe in the future, and "Fantastic Four" can be regarded as practice.

"Andy, we can invest more in this play. But as for whether the second part will be filmed, we will have to think carefully in the future. "Kevin? Feige spoke.

"The X-Men have been a success, and we're willing to spend more energy and money on them to make a separate series. If "Fantastic Four" is extended again, it is easy for us to lose sight of one or the other. ”

"Kevin, I don't mean to say that every hero film has to have a sequel." Yang Xuantong shook his head and said with a smile.

"We have too many heroes, and if we all shoot sequels, I'm afraid it will take dozens or hundreds of years. I mean, as long as we want to shoot this hero, we have to shoot it well. Let the audience walk into the cinema to watch the movie, so that they will not leave regrets. ”

"The Marvel Universe is huge, you have to have your own focus, and then you fill in the rest of the heroes. When the first five films produced by Marvel Studios can achieve very good results, people will no longer have any doubts about Marvel. ”

Kevin? Fei Qi smiled and nodded, just now he really thought that Liu Anran was going to devote more energy to the development of "Fantastic Four".

Then there is no problem, the investment in this film can indeed be increased, and an additional investment of tens of millions of dollars will definitely improve the quality of the film by a notch.

Hero movies are not other literary films, and every penny of investment here is not in vain. The scenes of the whole movie are completely supported by special effects, and special effects need to be done with money.

"By the way, how is your contact with the theater chain?" Kevin? Feige asked curiously.

"It's still in the tentative stage, after all, there are too many funds and personnel involved, and it's not so easy to settle, and the theater chain is not easy to do. Not only will there be some external obstacles, but they themselves will not be so easy to publicize. Liu Anran shook his head.

"Now Edward, they have some contact with theaters large and small, let's see if Carmichael's side can change his mind. Now they feel that our demand for cinemas is too strong and they want to go up too high. ”

That's the way it is in business, every moment is changing.

If it weren't for Viacom's interference, the contact with Carmichael's side would have been quite smooth. Now they see an opportunity to increase their value, and their posture is also high.

And the contact with the AMC side has also reached an impasse. Carmichael's side is waiting for the price to sell, but they don't want to easily sell the controlling stake to others.

There may be some Viacom shadows here, so Edward's side temporarily put down the negotiations with them, and expanded the goal infinitely this time.

"There is no way to do this, the box office has rebounded in the past two years, and these theaters have also seen the hope of making money." Kevin? Feige said with a smile.

"This year's box office looks good, and it is estimated that it is not much different from last year's box office level, and may even increase slightly. Even if it were me, it would have to sell for some more money, not to mention the people who have been running the theater chain for so long. ”

Liu Anran nodded, "In my country, our Huaxia Company is building a cinema chain, and now there are twenty-three theaters, and we will continue to invest next year." ”

"If it weren't for the large scale of investment in building a cinema chain and the long cycle, I would have wanted to build one on my own in the United States. This thing is too worrying, especially the training of those theater staff, and the gap is also very large. ”

The domestic cinema industry is in its infancy, and even if you want to spend money to buy it, there are no good resources for you to buy. In this case, it is better to build a new one directly and develop it slowly.

There is also a lot of money invested, whether it is the construction of buildings or the purchase of projection equipment, which also involves a large part of the funds of domestic companies.

But there is a lesson from the past in the United States, if a film company does not have a theater chain that it can control, it is really easy to suffer a dark loss in film scheduling. During this time, Liu Yi was not only busy with the company's listing, but also focused more energy on this.

A lot of staff have been reserved, let them go to major cinemas to watch movies, and then find specialized training institutions for unified training. When the theaters open one after another, they will be able to work in batches.

This is still Liu Yi who came forward to do it, which made many things easier. If Liu Anran comes forward instead, it is estimated that there will be a top of ten families and eight families now.

"Haha, seeing the expression on your face so relaxed, you must be happy for the box office of the film." At this time Stan? Lee walked into the office.

"How about it, what kind of cameo role will you play in the next filming of "Fantastic Four"?" Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm going to get a few more lines. Actually, I wanted to ask you, can you let me also make a cameo in your "Departed"? "Stan? Lee asked, shrugging his shoulders.

"What's not to do, as long as you like." Liu Anran said with some tears and laughter.

He really didn't expect the old man to make such an addictive cameo, it was not enough to make a cameo in a hero movie, and he also thought of making a cameo in his own film.

But it's nothing, in terms of cameos, the old man is still very skillful. At that time, there will be a lot of group performances, and one more of him is not too much.

Stan? Li was very happy, and pulled Liu Anran and started chatting non-stop. However, it has little to do with the film, most of it is his cameo experience, and I really hope to be able to pull Liu Anran to make a cameo together.
