readx;?“ Eight hundred miles away, kill the devil's machine gunner with one shot! This is an example of Tianyan's fierce record! ”

"But the combat characteristics of Tianyan are too strange, no matter what battle you participate in, Tianyan only needs to sit at home and shoot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This kind of fighting method of sitting on duty and getting off work on time every day, the leader saw it, and thought that this child came in by a relationship? I don't dare to say it, I don't have a good face anyway, it's pretty miserable......"

Seeing this, Duke couldn't help but laugh, just Tina next to him? Faye and Scarlett simply don't understand why he's laughing.

Shaking his head at the two curious women, Duke continued to look down.

"Sixth, the Rope Witch."

"Once, when my grandfather went to the Japanese stronghold to lurk, he found a woman who was tied up by tricks, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the Japanese bondage culture. But he didn't expect that when the Japanese army approached her, the rope suddenly disappeared, and then crackled and dingdong, and all the Japanese were killed! ”

Her name is Rope Witch, she is a mutant, and her superpower is that she can influence other people's minds, so that everyone who sees her thinks she has ropes tied to her...... I don't know why, after joining the Avengers, the leader is especially willing to come and see her if there is anything to do......"

"About her background is a secret in the army, because she is a Japanese, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, she specially came to China to fight devils, her mother is said to be called Muto. Orchid. ”

"Seventh, Flying Silver."

"The volunteer young man who fights devils down from Wutai Mountain has the best light skills and flies the eaves and walks the wall. I love to jump around and play every day, and he is the most annoying thing among the Avengers, and the devil sees something floating around two miles away, and then he knows that he is coming. ”

"Flying Silver's most outstanding record. It's to ride a bicycle into the sky and intercept the devil's armored train......"

Looking at the introduction of these vaguely impressive characters, Duke couldn't help but think of the Anti-Japanese War era when the sky was full of strange heroes, are the devils really enough to kill?

With so many heroes, it is only natural that there will be villains as well.

"The biggest enemy of the red avengers is, of course, the devil, as long as we maintain a patriotic heart that faces history squarely and does not forget the national shame. I firmly believe that those countless devils in Hengdian will one day be wiped out by justice! ”

"The future is good, but the road is hard, the Red Avengers have experienced countless difficult battles, and I will tell you about a ghost leader that my grandfather is more familiar with, his name is: What the hell is this to go to grass. Because shouting such a long name on the battlefield is very time-consuming, whether it is our army, the national army, the Japanese army or the puppet army, in fact, he is simply called - Aocao. ”

"Aocao's own strength is actually a scumbag, but he has a huge team behind him, and countless friends are incarnated. For example, there are drivers and bodyguards who can drive Volkswagen convertibles, and there are minions who can use anti-materiel sniper rifles, M4 assault rifles, and laser-guided shoulder rocket launchers......"

"No matter how strong the Red Avengers' individual combat ability is, no matter how good they are, they can't beat the hooligan tactics of Okucao and his little friends carrying so many advanced weapons, so the Red Avengers also need a more advanced hero to help them."

"And so, the hallucinations were born."

"The Chinese captain gave psychological support, the steel cannon man gave a gun, the god of war took out a knife, and the eye of heaven gave him vision. The Shaolin giant taught him to flirt with his legs, and the rope witch tied a rope for him. Then my grandfather showed him Feiyin's textbook for two nights. ”

"And so the illusion was born!"

"How powerful are the hallucinations? You can throw grenades down with the wings of the plane (the firepower of the Steel Cannon Man, the eyesight of the Sky Eye, and the light skill of Flying Silver...... ）”

"You can carry a big red flag, hold an explosives bag, and charge at the front line with a big knife (the courage of the Shaolin giant, the domineering spirit of the god of war and the spirit of the Chinese captain...... ）”

"The most important thing is that the illusion of a rope tied up and handsome exploded in Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo regions, and countless people in the northeast and southwest wanted to see their bodies and went crazy and rushed to Shaanxi."

"Although the Red Avengers are powerful, the enemy army is extremely strong, in order to win the war as soon as possible, our army decided to find the legendary ultimate weapon - Infinity Pants. Crotch! ”

"Pants. Do you need to introduce the stunt of crotch hidden thunder again? The only thing that needs to be said is that a grenade hidden in the crotch of the pants can blow up a Japanese bunker. If you can hide six different grenades. to gain supreme explosive power...... However, I don't know exactly how far it can explode, and according to my grandfather, the infinity crotch that can hide six thunders is now missing......

When Duke returned to Los Angeles from Shanghai, the next weekend box office of "The Avengers" was also delivered to him.

The first weekend box office of "The Avengers" was just too terrifying. It's a height that has never been reached in film history, and it's impossible to maintain a small decline the next weekend, and there are quite competitive films like "Fast and Furious 5".

"Fast and Furious 5" has a typical high start and low due to the serious lack of female audiences, and the film earned $48.65 million on Friday, but it slipped to $29.27 million on Saturday, and fell again on Sunday, earning only $23.89 million.

In the first three days of the opening weekend, "Fast and Furious 5" earned $101.81 million from North America!

Although it can only rank second in the North American box office chart last week, this result is also impressive.

Duke has a vague impression, as if only the last two parts of this series have a box office of about $100 million in the first week in North America. Diesel still made a huge difference.

However, Van ? Diesel is not like Heath? Ledger broke out like that, and the all-round suppression of "The Avengers" from publicity to screening can be said to be the key.

"The Avengers" did not break out a single day of more than $40 million in the following weekend, but it was relatively stable, following $38.77 million on Friday and $39.16 million on Saturday, and another $33.84 million on Sunday.

In the three days of the following weekend, "The Avengers" earned $111.77 million from North America, setting a box office record for the last weekend in North American film history.

The film's North American box office has also reached $461.74 million, which is also the fastest new record in North American film history to break $400 million and $450 million.

In terms of global box office, "The Avengers" broke the $1 billion mark in just ten days, earning a record $1,178.99 million, and the crazy momentum can't stop at all.

Similarly, in the global market, "Fast and Furious 5" was also completely suppressed by "The Avengers", and the box office closed from nearly 100 countries and regions, including North America, to about $320 million in the first weekend.

That's good enough, as for David? Whether Ellison will be satisfied or not is not in Duke's concern at all, and after he returned to North America, he met with Marvel and Warner Bros. executives one after another to discuss how to continue to expand the revenue of the Marvel series in the next one.

Superhero movies adapted from comics are not just a few films, but a huge set of cultural and creative industries that integrate from fiction to reality, which is not only a triumph of popular culture, but also a victory of highly developed and pervasive capital operation.

From the big screen to the mobile phone screen, from the T-shirt to the rice cooker, virtual, physical, and omnipotent superheroes flood today's global village.

In fact, it's a big deal!

The current madness of superhero movies may also have something to do with the fact that humans like to watch stories about the opposition between good and evil, but Duke and other studios must also have an insatiable appetite for high returns.

As we all know, superhero movies not only sell movie tickets, but also bring various sources of income, such as pay TV, toys, video games, overseas distribution rights, and so on.

The Avengers is exciting, how could it not be exciting? Fans and viewers all over the world began to be bombarded with this film years in advance.

As Duke returned to Los Angeles and told Forbes magazine, "Every Marvel movie has been made for this superfilm since 2006." ”

Then, there are the daily and round-the-clock commercials, as well as Marvel's "partnership" relationships with various companies, including Walmart, Acura, Harley-Davidson, Hasbro, Target, which are selling about 600 "Avenger" products......

The audience simply can't escape.

In the decade or so of the new century, Hollywood has produced more than 60 superhero movies in the true sense of the word, accounting for less than 1 percent of Hollywood's total output, but their market share is more than 10 percent.

For example, the current screening of "The Avengers", a super-"superhero movie" that brings together six comic book heroes, has not only earned more than $1.1 billion at the global box office, but also made $1.2 billion directly from toys and other licensed merchandise, as well as sold TV broadcasts, online rights, etc.!

In fact, this reflects the greatest significance of superhero movies, they are not only movies, but also the most vivid and effective advertising films, which can drive a long list of derivative comics, dolls, toys, stationery, video games, playgrounds, daily necessities, image endorsements and other industrial chains.

From another perspective, it's not hard to understand why unprofitable investors like Duke and Warner Bros. spend huge sums of money on shooting and distributing superhero movies, and when calculating box office gains and losses, there will be "losses" from time to time, but they are always happy to shoot and shoot again and again.

After the "image authorization" for special business development, it does not cost too many resources of the production and distributor, and the relevant industry will send a sky-high licensing fee.

So, George? When Lucas made the Star Wars prequel trilogy, he once bluntly said "I don't care about the box office at all".

Only after integrating the licensing and development of derivative products such as theatrical box office, TV broadcasts, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, soundtracks, video-on-demand, toys and video games, can the achievements of Hollywood commercial films be truly and completely reflected.

If you only look at the box office, estimating the value of Hollywood companies and systems is a joke. (To be continued.) )
