Ever since Chaos Pictures was founded, they seem to have been working miracles, but nowhere near as good as this one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As we all know, all the works launched by Chaos Pictures so far have not tasted failure, whether it is a commercial film or an awards season work, all of them have achieved profitability, almost a step a year, especially the "Furious Road" in 2006, with an investment of 150 million plus a publicity budget of less than 20 million, but in exchange for the global box office data of 1.29 billion, it can be called the most profitable work in history among the 100 million-level investment works.

As an independent film company that has not received funding from Wall Street, the rate of raw accumulation of Chaos Pictures is truly staggering. However, since Chaos Pictures is not listed, people do not have detailed data on the company's internal economic situation, so they can only evaluate it. So when Chaos Pictures announced the completion of its acquisition of Marvel for $1.45 billion, Hollywood was shocked – especially in the midst of the financial crisis.

It is rumored within Wall Street that in the financial crisis caused by the housing bubble, a total of five groups of people accurately predicted the impending crisis before the storm came, so they became short and became one of the few big winners in this catastrophe. Four of the groups came from within Wall Street, represented by Michael Burry, who received a return of nearly 500 percent, netting more than $2.6 billion, and one group of people who were ...... Ian Strello.

Ian, who works for a venture capital firm, is also inextricably linked to Wall Street, and in the midst of this financial turmoil, he made full use of his connections and abilities to successfully win a whopping 2 billion returns for Chaos Pictures - a pure income figure that really impressed the entire Wall Street. Many hedge funds have extended an olive branch to Ian, and they have also taken great interest in Chaos Pictures.

Just when people were shocked by the news that "Fury Road" had received more than 500 million dividends, Chaos Pictures successfully completed another original accumulation, not only got out of the financial crisis, but also won a big victory, and ended with the completion of the acquisition of Marvel, giving the entire Hollywood a slap in the face.

The most incredible thing is that Chaos Pictures has always been quiet, and all the acquisitions have been completed in a resolute manner, and even the news has not leaked at all. From another point of view, people never thought that Chaos Pictures, as an independent film company, had such big ambitions, so naturally they didn't notice the small actions of Chaos Pictures. By the time everyone reacted, Marvel Entertainment had become a branch of Chaos Pictures.

That's the real game-changer.

Today's Chaos Pictures can no longer be measured by DreamWorks or New Line Pictures, after having a distribution department, a screenwriting department, a production department, and a trailer soundtrack department, now Chaos Pictures has added a Marvel department, which has allowed the intellectual property department they just created to expand rapidly, as if the prototype framework of a huge empire can already be seen; In addition, with the victory of the short investment, Chaos Pictures still has at least a billion dollars of liquidity at its disposal - this is still on the premise that Ian did not continue to make circular investments, everyone knows that Wall Street's best thing is to make money out of money, in other words, after the completion of the original accumulation, Chaos Pictures has completely broken through the shackles and shackles hanging over its head.

After the 79th Oscars, people always thought that they already had a full understanding of the energy of Chaos Pictures, but now they found that their vision was too narrow, and Chaos Pictures had already developed to a new level. It's like Lance.

People are always underestimating Lance, always questioning Lance, and always suppressing Lance, but in the end, they find that they have never really caught up with Lance, and can only watch the back of the peerless horse from afar. At this moment, Chaos Pictures is strongly announcing its presence as the seventh player, and its edge is revealed!

Especially in such a stall, the six major film companies were trapped in the financial crisis, and there were different degrees of chaos, and Chaos Pictures could not find a better time than this, so it was born. Apparently, Theo Strello, CEO of Chaos Pictures, is also aware of this, and Chaos Pictures, which has been dormant for the past few months, has finally announced their next development plans.

First of all, the latest news of the two works of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man" is confirmed to land on this year's Thanksgiving schedule, and will compete with "National Treasure 2", "I Am a Legend" and other works for the box office of the holiday stalls; "The Incredible Hulk" will be the opening game of next year's summer file, and the first week of May will be strong.

From this detail alone, it can be seen that the layout of Chaos Pictures has begun to become more of a big picture. Because in addition to these two works, Chaos Pictures has also announced the distribution plans of several other works, including independent films that they have purchased distribution rights, as well as works they are currently working on, such as "No Country for Old Men", which will be the first to appear at this year's Venice Film Festival - this will be the first time that Lance has brought his work to the three major European film festivals, but as an actor.

Secondly, Chaos Pictures announced the shooting plan of three works in the next three years, Marvel's first work after entering Chaos Pictures, "Iron Man 2" will be filmed next spring, and the "Incredible Hulk 2" in cooperation with Universal Pictures will be filmed next fall, and the new hero "Thor" in preparation has also been put on the agenda, but the specific start time has not yet been opened.

The two films "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" are still in post-production and have not yet been released, but Chaos Pictures has shown enough ambition and blueprints, which undoubtedly makes fans' emotions more and more high, and the expectations for these two works are slowly rising.

In addition, Chaos Pictures approved the production of three independent films - all three from the Chaos Pictures-sponsored Screenwriters Foundation, namely "Frozen River", "Killers Have No Vacation", and "Milk". All three titles will be invested and produced by Chaos Pictures, and will be responsible for distribution.

Among them, "Milk" took the lead in launching and entering the preparatory stage, and Lance is currently actively contacting Sean Penn, hoping that he can play the leading role, but Sean is still a little hesitant, because he hopes that Lance can take the helm of the guide - Lance, who is in full swing filming "No Country for Old Men", has no way to give a commitment. Rumor has it that Lance is interested in directing Gus Van Sant, and they once worked together on "Elephant" during their time at Diorama Pictures.

Finally, Chaos Pictures' intellectual property division, which has successfully bought the rights to the film adaptation of the musical "Mamma Mia" after acquiring the rights to several adaptations of the young adult novel, and is actively negotiating Meryl Streep to play the lead role in the production. As we all know, Meryl has always been a strong supporter of Lance, and very much hopes that the two can work together, once it happens, then Lance's next work will be a musical movie? That's where it gets interesting.

In contrast, "Twilight", which officially started casting, is not optimistic, and many media believe that Chaos Pictures is too radical and greedy, this set of young adult novels has no value for adaptation at all, and the box office prospects are also worrying.

If you don't make a move, you will be a blockbuster. Chaos Pictures' big move is really menacing, and it can be clearly felt that they are prepared, long before the Oscars, long before the awards season, and even long before the "Fury Road", they began to play this game of chess, waiting for the right moment to push with all their might.

Now that Chaos Pictures has made its debut, it's up to the six major studios to respond.

Summer has arrived, and in the blink of an eye, 2007 is almost halfway over, and journalists from all over the world are flocking to the Cte d'Azur in the Cannes Film Festival. This year's Cannes is really too lively, especially the arrival of Reims, which makes people deeply feel the enthusiasm of the French people. Although Lance did not come with a work this year, Chaos Pictures presented a "Diving Bell and Butterfly", which once again made a big splash.

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" was well received at Cannes and won the Best Director award at the closing ceremony, and is widely considered to represent France in this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; Then "three weeks and two days in April" won the Palme d'Or, announcing the end of the 60th Cannes Film Festival.

However, the vigorous Cannes was stolen from the other side of the Atlantic, and Warner Bros. and Disney announced that they would collaborate on three DC Comics adaptations, which is undoubtedly a bombshell!

Whether it is the cooperation between the two giants, or the goal of the cooperation is to lock the comics again, this can be called the most sensational news of 2007, especially after Chaos Pictures acquired Marvel Comics. Quietly, the strong rise of comic book adaptations has become a new direction for the development of the film industry, which really makes industry insiders Zhang Ershang scratch his head, because last year's comic film suffered a fiasco - Warner Bros.'s "Superman Returns" bore the brunt.

Compared with Chaos Pictures, Warner Bros. and Disney are slightly calmer, and the two sides have signed a cooperation agreement for three works, namely "The Shining", which will be filmed this fall, which will be directed by Frank Miller, and this work is rumored to continue the style of "Sin City" and the critically acclaimed "300 Warriors" earlier this year; Then there's "Watchmen," which will start filming next summer, and everything is still in the process of selecting a script, but Warner Bros. would like Zack-Snyder to direct it; and "Green Lantern", which will be put into production next winter or the following spring.

Obviously, the box office failures of "Superman Returns" and "X-Men 3" in 2006 still made Warner Bros. and Disney more cautious, but their determination to develop the potential of comic book adaptation is unquestionable.

Warner Bros. plus Disney vs. Chaos Pictures? Now Hollywood is going to be exciting.
