With the popularity of comic book adaptations in recent years, more and more excellent comics have been put on the big screen, and "Iron Man" is destined to be one of the lucky ones who have benefited a lot from this tide. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The history of comic book adaptations has a long history, but to really become a mainstream commercial film, strictly speaking, it started with the movie "Spider-Man".

In 2002, Sony Columbia made so much money at the box office that it made so much money that the bosses of the film company thought that Christopher? The comic book hero craze brought by Reeve is back alive.

As a result, a large amount of investment budget has been allocated to the plan of comic book adaptation, and one after another famous superheroes have been sent to the big screen to entertain the audience, resulting in the phenomenon of comic book adaptation movies gradually heating up over the years.

Of course, the emergence of this phenomenon also depends on the strong popularity of these superheroes in the United States, when Americans see that the images in the comic books they read when they are children become vivid, they will naturally run to the movie theater to collectively cheer.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the two giants of the American comic book industry - Marvel and DC.

These two comic book companies, founded back in the 30s of the last century, have established the rule of American comics through decades of operation - as long as people want to see a comic book hero, then that comic book hero will never die.

In North America, when a superhero is created by a cartoonist, the comic book company will decide the fate of the hero, in order to keep the character fresh and creative inspiration energy continuous, the comic book company will let the character change hands several times, let different cartoonists participate in the creation of the character, and under the condition that the basic design concept remains the same, different cartoonists will whitewash the character according to their own style.

As the times went on, more and more cartoonists were involved in the creation of this character, resulting in a superhero being able to be active in comic books for decades, and the number of fans cultivated over the decades is staggering.

As long as the quality of the film is guaranteed. This guarantees a minimum number of viewers.

"Iron Man" not only has these qualities, but also does it even better.

So, when it was just after the wee hours of the morning Western Time, Duke received the preliminary statistics of the advance box office. There is no surprise that they have done too much targeted publicity and marketing in various forms.

"How many?"

In the room, Scarlett seemed a little impatient, the films she had starred in in the past. The professional reviews are really good, but none of them can be slightly better at the box office, which directly leads to fame, and the salary is not at a high price.

Dedicated to art? Scarlett had never thought of it that way, and none of the people she had ever met in this circle had such thoughts.

If even expenses are a problem, how can we talk about creation and figuring out characters.

As we all know, the expenses of famous actresses in Hollywood are astronomical, such as clothing, and they wear clothes on the street in public. It is absolutely impossible to wear it a second time, and other houses, vehicles, assistants, cosmetics, etc., all require a large number.

If there is no commercial sponsorship, this will make many people unbearable, especially Scarlett's current type of star, because she was seriously biased towards literature and art before, and her actual income is not high, and commercial advertisements cannot be easily accepted - you need to maintain your style - and only you know the pain inside.

It is not difficult to understand why actresses who are very artistic and literary are always eager to develop in business.

Unless it wins a heavyweight award such as the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Otherwise, no matter how good your acting skills are, it will be difficult to get a high salary if you have not proven yourself in mainstream productions.

In this country of independence and freedom, no one wants to be completely dependent on another person. Duke could roughly guess some of Scarlett's thoughts, and he didn't sell it, and said directly, "3,900 advance games, got about $12.6 million." ”

"In this way, the market response is not bad." Scarlett asked, looking at Duke.

Duke laughed. "It's very good."

He patted Scarlett's hand gently, "Go to bed early, didn't you make an appointment with Rachel early tomorrow morning?" McAdams? ”

Although Duke and the two went to sleep with peace of mind, Marvel Studios has always been brightly lit, and the rough statistics of the advance scene are in hand, Kevin? Feige breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't start celebrating, and now midnight shows across North America have begun.

The early show can be said to have consumed a large number of Iron Man fans, as well as the crowd who paid attention to the previous hot events, and the reaction of the midnight show can be seen to a certain extent the box office trend of the first weekend and even the later stage of "Iron Man".

"Warner Bros. can be trusted for its publishing capabilities and Duke's production standards."

He looked at Avi walking around the office? "We've seen the film, and the quality is completely guaranteed, no worse than any of Duke's previous films." ”

"I know that the film is better than I imagined." Avi? Arad finally sat down, "But this is a movie that is about the fate of the company." ”

Kevin? Feige pretended to be light-hearted, "I think it's time for us to think about planning our next movie." ”

"Iron Man" is not only the hope of Marvel, but also the key to future development, before the success or failure of this film, Marvel does not have the determination and courage to invest huge amounts of money in the preparation of a new superhero movie.

Now, their faith is sufficient.

In this office, there is also an important figure from Marvel.

Maybe it's because of his age, Stan? Lee is not like Kevin? Feige and Avi? Arad was so anxious that he seemed very calm, just sitting quietly in front of the computer, looking through the relevant comments on the Internet.

He is already old, but his heart is not old, and he is very proficient in logging in to his instant sharing account, and some popular audience comments about "Iron Man" are immediately displayed on the screen.

Stan? Lee knows very well what the Marvel Super Movie wants, and the comments of any professional media are not as direct as the audience's opinions.

"Another Hollywood comic superhero has appeared on the big screen, Iron Man Tony? Stark's appearance is really arrogant, dashing and intelligent. A woman, like a garment, gets up in the morning and stays in bed, but never remembers her name; Outstanding Contribution Award from the Government? It's a casual hand that can be given to passers-by; Weapons, that is an invincible high-tech iron armor that can easily be done in a cave that others can't get in a lifetime. ”

"Duke once again showed his talent, and his description of the hero's birth journey and the hero's psychological changes is quite excellent, and the change from playboy to war king to super steel hero is extremely convincing, and this "Iron Man" is a surprising and brilliant work."

"To summarize the advantages of "Iron Man", I think there are four aspects - the scene is cool enough, the performance is funny, there are many new ideas, and it is worth continuing."

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help nodding slightly, and immediately shared the comments above, showing a one-sided trend.

Of course, it is towards the side of good reputation.

"Jean Duke? Rosenberg came to direct the opening film of Marvel, which is really a very correct choice. ”

Stan? Li secretly sighed, turned off instant sharing, and logged in to IMDB, the first thing he looked at was the rating of IMDB, for these older generations, they still care about this kind of rating.

32114 users, with a rating of 8.8, is already very good.

That's enough to rank in the top 30 of IMDB's TOP250, but Stan? Lee is well aware that the rating will definitely drop over time.

For example, "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", Duke's film has been ranked first on IMDB since its release, but since this year, it has slowly slipped to second place, Francis? Coppola's "The Godfather" regained the number one spot.

But this does not affect Duke's position on IMDB, the world's largest film website, the TOP250 is arguably the most talked about by movie fans.

In addition to "100,000 Urgent", Duke's other films are all on the list, especially in the top 10, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "The Matrix", "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" and "Saving Private Ryan" are all on the list.

He alone occupies four places.

In the eyes of those fans who worship IMDB scores, Duke is undoubtedly a phenomenal director.

Such a director, like a former director, has many crazy fans in North America and even around the world.

Stan? Lee knows this very well, which is also one of the important reasons why Marvel Comics has let the other party, a latecomer, participate in the formulation of the big series plan.

After all, everyone knows that a crazy number of fans often means a huge market value.

Is there a more important measure for a commercial film director than market value?

Subsequently, Stan? Lee's gaze turned to IMDB's comments.

"I'm tired of superhero movies saving the world, but I have to admit that Iron Man is a very, very cool film! The visuals of this movie are really great, it can be called the best special effects today, which is the biggest reason for me to watch this film, the equipment in the film, omg! That house, that thing in the laboratory, those robotic arms that can understand human speech, those sports cars, the power of missiles, the air test flight of that new armor, the first battle, it's all cool! ”

"The production process of Iron Man is full of metal beauty, very cool, and the exquisite special effects have no sense of disobedience, which makes the movie have an excellent viewing experience. The plot is very smooth, it doesn't drag out in one go, and there are no obvious loopholes and it's attractive enough. Duke? Rosenberg production is as good as ever. ”

After reading the comments on the Internet, I guess I really have the bottom in my heart, Stan? Li actually fell asleep, and when he was overwoken up, there was already a white light outside the window, and it was about to dawn.

Stan? Li suddenly felt that something was wrong, and in the entire small office building of Marvel Studios, all kinds of strange roars kept sounding, and it seemed that the demons and undead had crawled out of hell. (To be continued.) )
