Marvel Comics and DC Comics are each other's biggest competitors, and they also have in-depth cooperation, but after DC Comics was incorporated into Time Warner, they have developed rapidly, especially Superman and Batman have appeared on the big screen, which has further widened the gap between the two sides.

Now, the amazing superhero has finally arrived, from Time Warner's director Jeffrey? Bix and DC Comics' CEO Paul? Levitz also accepted the invitation and appeared at the premiere of Blade.

"Who would have thought that the Marvel comics, which had reached the brink of bankruptcy and were about to fall into the abyss, would be replaced by Ryan? Jenkins pulled back. ”

After greeting the host, the two found a corner of the theater hall, looked at Ryan, who was receiving guests with the surprise executive, and talked quietly.

"How old was he at that time, and how much net worth did he have? Dare to invest nearly half a billion dollars in Marvel, this kind of courage has to be admired. "Jeffrey? Bix withdrew his gaze and continued, "Avi? Arad and Stan? It was with his full support that Lee spurred Marvel's reforms, and it is said that in the first half of this year, Marvel finally turned a profit, making a profit of more than $10 million. ”

"If "Blade" can be successful, their profit in the second half of the year may be several times higher." Who else knows more about the role of movies in promoting comic book companies than the CEO of DC Comics, "Our Superman and Batman have opponents in the future." ”

"Not only that, Ryan is said to have made a very long-term plan for Marvel, and if this film is successful, there will be more Marvel heroes on the big screen, and he has this strength and this ambition." Jeffrey? Bix shook his head, as if to say it to his companions, and as if to himself, "Don't worry. We have so many common interests with Ryan that we will work together more and more. ”

"He's coming." Paul? Levitz reminded.

In any case, Ryan is the de facto boss of Marvel Comics, the first superhero movie to belong to Marvel premiered, and his owner is naturally indispensable to socialize, when he sees Jeffrey? Bix, I couldn't help but have some ideas.

Yes, Marvel Comics' biggest competitor is DC Comics, but that doesn't mean they can't work together, and he and Warner have been working together very happily. The agreement for the Harry Potter film series was officially signed not long ago.

"Jeff, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, this is ......" Ryan looked to Bix's side.

"Paul? Leviz, Ryan, just call me Paul. ”

Ryan shook his opponent's outstretched hand hard, and immediately remembered who he was, "I take the liberty of asking, Paul, are you the CEO of DC?" ”

"Yes." The other party nodded solemnly.

"Ryan. I heard you're building a big set for Amazement? ”

Wait for Ryan and Paul? After a few pleasantries from Leviz, Jeffrey? Bicks asked.

"It doesn't have much to do with me." Ryan smiled and shook his head, surprised that there have been many big moves in the past few years, and he has almost taken back the rights to popular superheroes. Those who have a heart can roughly see something.

"The Avengers?" Paul? Levitz asked tentatively.

"That's right." There is no need to deny this kind of thing, the people standing here are industry veterans, "Superhero movies have commonalities, and Surprise and DC do have competition." But this competition is benign, and we can work together on that basis. ”

DC's popular superheroes are no less than surprise.

"Warners put superhero movies on hold for the time being." Jeffrey? Bix sighed and said with a frown. "We had a miserable failure with Batman & Robin."

Of course, Ryan has paid attention to the Batman series, a few years ago, Nicole also starred in "Batman Forever", and "Batman and Robin" suffered a waterloo at the box office and word of mouth, which made Warner have to temporarily cancel follow-up plans, including the new "Superman" movie.

"Ryan, maybe you can give us some advice." Jeffrey? Bix really doesn't give up any chances.

"Jeff, in my opinion, you guys handled it very wisely, temporarily sealing the entire series and restarting it when the audience gradually forgets about this terrible movie." Ryan recalls the situation about Batman and Superman in his previous life, "and then find a prequel or postquel hype boo......"

In line with his tone, Riel made a gesture you understood.

However, at that time, Warner will have to find another director, and almost all of the cinema projectionist's early works have been made out by him, so that he has not appeared yet, and it is estimated that the possibility of being able to come out is infinitely small.

The vast majority of superhero movies have been criticized by professional film critics, but no one can deny that the DC series and the Marvel series have become popular in the new century, and it is precisely because of the support of a wide range of audiences that the market will continue to flourish.

"Trust me, Paul, Jeff, it won't be long before Superman and Batman can make a comeback, and you can build the Justice League franchise too." Ryan said these words not to praise them, but for another purpose, "According to my plan, Marvel's superheroes will also occupy a place on the big screen, and Marvel and DC can carry out a more in-depth cooperation." ”

With Ryan's track record, his words are naturally extremely persuasive.

And Jeffrey? Bix and Paul? Levitz was also interested, "Can you tell me more about it, Ryan?" ”

"Just some ideas that aren't very mature." Ryan tapped his forehead with his finger, "We can create hype and let the superheroes of the two families face off against each other, such as Superman vs. Hulk, Batman vs. Captain America, and Stormgirl vs. Wonder Woman, and then let their respective fans vote to decide their victory or defeat......"

The two nodded slowly, which is definitely a good idea, and if there is such a hype before the release of their respective superhero movies, it can easily attract a large audience.

"And ......," Ryan didn't mean to let them go, "do you think Justice League of Heroes and the Avengers should be the ultimate pursuit of superhero movies?" ”

"Ryan, what do you mean...... "Jeffrey?" Bix and Paul? Levitz's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"That's right! When we launch our respective ultimate collections, why not let the League of Heroes and the Avengers fight or fight side by side? Ryan spread his hands, there weren't so many messy copyright issues in this life.

As for the question of feasibility and parallel universe space, I believe that the screenwriters on both sides will definitely be able to solve it.

"We should bring together Marvel and DC's top brass to discuss feasibility." The two guys were clearly struck by Ryan's nonsensical thoughts.

"Don't worry, Jeff, Paul!" Ryan shook his finger, "This day is still far away, and it will be at least ten years later." ”

"You're thinking so far." The CEO of DC Comics exclaimed, "No wonder you always succeed, Ryan." ”

"I've made a note of this, and I'll bring it up on Warner's boardroom." Jeffrey? Bickers believes that he is a more conservative director, knowing that these are from Ryan? Jenkins' suggestion will also be tempted, "Then I wish Marvel a great success tonight's "Blades." ”

After saying goodbye to these two people, Ryan followed the crowd and walked directly into the theater, although he only hung up a producer, but Marvel still arranged his seat in the front row, and the old man sitting next to him was Stan, the father of superheroes in Marvel Comics? Plum.

"Ryan, don't you think we should pick up the pace a little bit?" According to the original agreement, five percent of the profits from each superhero movie belonged to Stan? Li, the old man is naturally very concerned.

"Aren't we about to launch the X-Men series?" Ryan looked at the old man.

"What about Spider-Man?" Among all the superheroes in Amazement, Spider-Man is undoubtedly the most popular because of his own setting, "I heard of James? Cameron has been ......"

"Stan, if James were the director, Surprise would be able to sustain the entire budget?" Ryan shook his head, "Don't worry, as long as Blade can be successful, the follow-up plan can be started gradually." ”

This is a typical American entertainment movie, if there is any difference from the previous popcorn movies, it is that the fights in it completely use the routine of 'kung fu', which not only has the strength of American action movies, but also is full of agility and gorgeous beauty.

In recent years, 'Kung Fu' is still quite marketable in North America, and the constant shouts of 'cool' from the audience are enough to prove this.

Different from traditional superhero movies, "Blade" has added a lot of thriller and bloody scenes, it is estimated that a lot of ketchup was used in the shooting, and some scenes may be terrifying for North American audiences, but in Ryan's eyes, there are still more disgusting elements.

The crew obviously put a lot of effort into the makeup of several protagonists, and their looks are cold and cool enough, especially the black protagonist, who can be called a cool scum.

And the heroine Penelope? Cruz, who completed the role of the vase very well, like the heroine in all popcorn movies, either the most embarrassing pit protagonist once, or save the protagonist once, she hugged the black actor and was sucked by blood, which is absolutely amazing.

Although the movie is dressed as a vampire, it does not deviate from the traditional routines of Hollywood movies, such as the protagonist will definitely be caught, and the villain will definitely not kill the protagonist, and will always be successfully killed by the protagonist after a long stroke.

And then there's the theme, an American or an American hero, in the most crisis, saved the whole world and all mankind, which is essential, although this is very cliché, but it is extremely in line with the thoughts and tastes of the audience, otherwise this theme will not remain unchanged after more than ten years.
