Chapter 714: Take your career as seriously as your life

Regarding the first phase of Marvel's universe plan, Ryan except for some comments, most of the content is that Marvel's team is responsible for adjusting and following up the writing, and the easter egg that has just been filmed, although it is only a one-page script, gives him a kind of Steve? Rogers and Natasha? The feeling that the Normanovs are going to get together.

This kind of voice has been very strong on the Internet since the release of "Captain America", and it seems that two eighty or ninety-year-old grandfathers, grandmothers, handsome guys and beauties are in love with a bad taste that makes fans impulsive.

Within Walt Disney, Ryan has always advocated business first for various production companies, and it is difficult to say whether Marvel will put these two together because of the strong appeal of fans, after all, superhero movies are first and foremost concerned with the voice of the market, and it is also necessary to follow the trend of the market.

Having said that, according to the setting of this universe in this world, both of them are at the monster level in age, so it's really hard to find someone to match them with.

Remember the famous saying of Black Widow - Falling in love is a child's game - I wonder if surprise will be added.

Even "Hulk", which has a global box office of only $400 million, is close to recovering its costs through various post-production copyrights, while the "X-Men" series and the first episode of "Captain America" can basically recover their costs through the box office, and the later derivatives are almost all profitable.

This situation also makes the surprise side full of confidence, in addition to the focus on the "Iron Man" series, "Thor" has also been put on the agenda, the script has been written, is in the final revision stage, and now the director and main actors are being selected.

According to Marvel's internal plan, the first part of "The Avengers" will definitely be launched by 2010.

In addition, Marvel is also preparing a separate "Wolverine" series, which has already been with Hugh? Jackman began negotiations. The new X-Men series is also on their agenda, which will tell the story between Magneto, Professor X, and the Shapeshifter from a whole new perspective.

As long as it is profitable, these superhero series of movies will continue to appear on the big screen.

Comics and toy films, in the next decade, will definitely occupy a significant market share of commercial films, and as far as Ryan knows, after the success of "Wonder Woman", DC Comics is also preparing to plan the Justice League series.

This year's summer file. Warner Bros. and DC Comics' "Superman Returns" will also be released, and the film is currently very powerful, with a single film costing $270 million, making it the most expensive film ever made.

In fact, at the top of Hollywood, some news is not a secret at all, Time Warner raised a total of $350 million in upfront funding for the film, but $50 million was lost on the bumpy road of changing scripts, directors, and actors. It took Singh only $270 million to complete the ownership. But counting the publicity and marketing expenses that must be invested, "Superman Returns" is definitely the most expensive movie in history.

The original comic book movie was dominated by DC, and after the rapid rise and continuous success of Surprise, Time Warner naturally wanted to share the delicious cake from the market. Huge sums of money have been invested in this regard.

The success of Wonder Woman, in particular, made them understand that DC's comic book heroes are not outdated.

How much did "Superman Return" box office in the previous life?

Sitting on a plane to the Hawaiian Islands, Ryan was still thinking back to the memories of the movie in his mind, and he couldn't remember the North American box office. I vaguely remember that the global box office was less than $400 million......

If the box office is still so miserable today, how long will it take for Warner to recoup its costs in the later stages of operation? Ten years or twenty years?

Soft footsteps sounded. Ryan turned his head and saw Taylor walk into the front cabin of the plane with a big Winnie the Pooh in his arms, sit across from him, and yawn slightly.

"Why did you wake up so quickly?"

Ryan beckoned to the bar, and immediately a flight attendant brought two cups of coffee, Taylor took a sip, and then said, "I've been flying around on planes lately, and it's hard to fall asleep." ”

"Allison ......"

Seeing that the girl's cheeks were about to lose the last bit of baby fat, Ryan felt a little distressed, "Honey, you can cut some notices. ”

"I understand that even if I don't do anything, I can live happily without complaint."

Putting down the coffee cup, Taylor grabbed his platinum-blonde curls tied into a ponytail and said, "But this is my career, and I remember that years ago, you told me that you should work as hard as you do your life." ”

"Honey, you've really grown up." Ryan habitually wanted to reach out and rub her head, but immediately took it back, "We're all proud of you. ”

"Why don't you build an airport on Lanai?"

When the plane was about to land, Taylor fastened his seat belt, leaned over to the porthole, looked at the gradually enlarged scenery below, and said, "Every time I come over, I have to change to a helicopter, it's too troublesome." ”

"Building an airport is not an easy task." Ryan also fastened his seat belt, "It's just a change of helicopter, and it takes more than ten minutes." ”

The Boeing plane landed at Hawaii International Airport on the island of Oahu, and Ryan and his party changed to a helicopter and flew directly to Lanai, which is not too far away.

It's the peak tourist season in Hawaii, and you can see yachts and ferries coming and going on the sea, and after Ryan bought Lanai, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to improve some infrastructure, and the tourism environment has been greatly improved, especially several natural rainforests and golf clubs built on the seaside, attracting more and more tourists.

In addition, the island is expanding a Jurassic Park, and one of the most well-known aspects of the island is the location of the Jurassic Park films.

Lanai has also developed its own tourism industry, and although the annual output is barely enough to sustain expenses, the island's more than 2,000 residents are the most direct beneficiaries, and tourism can generate enough income for them.

Of course, in addition to tourism, there are also pineapple orchards, and Lanai is one of the largest pineapple producers in the world.

After the helicopter landed, Ryan and Taylor found Nicole in the pineapple orchard.

"Can I touch it?"

After saying hello, the three of them walked into the wooden house on the side of the pineapple orchard, Taylor looked at Nicole's erect belly mischievously, sat on the chair and dangled, "Is this a boy or a girl?" ”

"I don't know yet."

After Elsa put the cushion away, Nicole sat down in the chair with Ryan's support, "Honey, would you like to have another brother, or sister?" ”

"I'm an aunt!" Taylor clenched his fists and swung it vigorously, emphatically, "Nicole, I'm Auntie!" ”

"Then you'll be an aunt."

After picking up a fresh pineapple, Ryan stuffed it directly to Taylor, "The peeling is up to you." ”

"Okay, okay."

As soon as Taylor picked up the knife, Elsa had already walked over and taken the pineapple from her hand, "I'd better do it." ”

"Elsa." Taylor pursed his lips slightly, "My skills have improved." ”

"Have you forgotten?" Nicole's housekeeper raised a hand and gestured, "When you came last month, you cut your fingers and Lily's fingers. ”

"Ah, Lily? Mo? Where's that little imp in Shin? Taylor seemed to remember something, "She should still be on the island, right?" ”

"She's in class." It was Nicole who spoke, and she kept holding Ryan's hand next to her, "It's about half an hour before class ends." ”

"Kate has it figured out?" Ryan pulled Nicole's strand of blonde hair back of her head, "Are you sure she wants Lily to be an actress?" ”

"Lily has a good talent." Nicole nodded slightly, "Her starting point is also high enough to have an advantage that most people don't have. ”

Ryan also understands Nicole's words, and in the future, the mere fact that he and Nicole are goddaughters will be enough to crush most of the actors of the same period.

In addition, the descendants of quite a few Hollywood celebrities will follow the same or similar path as their parents, which is actually common in various industries in North America.

And Lily? Mo? Xin has already made cameo appearances in many Disney films or series, as long as he is between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and does not appear like Lindsay? In a situation like Luo Han, even if you can't get into the position of a first-line movie star, it is not very difficult to become a well-known actor.

Subsequently, Nicole talked about Lily? Mo? Some basic information about the goddaughter of Sin.

She's like the tomboy of Taylor and the Stewart family, in Kate? After Beckinsale filed with the relevant institutions, she began to receive family education, and in addition to her daily cultural class, she also had a half-hour acting class.

Kate? Beckinsale is a smart woman, and she knows that she will not be able to make a difference in acting in her life, so she naturally doesn't want her daughter to become a pure vase like herself in the future.

After tasting the pineapples from her own pineapple orchard, several people left the wooden house and walked towards the manor, the road was not too far, Nicole did not want to take the battery car, Ryan and Taylor accompanied her left and right, shuttling between the stone roads surrounded by palm trees.

"The air here is good and the scenery is beautiful."

Looking at the faintly visible sea and villa in the distance, Taylor seemed to sigh, "I really want to rest here for a month." ”

"By May." Nicole patted her on the back dotingly, "You can stay here with me." ”

"Is the due date in May?" Taylor seems to know a lot.

"Late May." Ryan replied.

"That's good." Taylor affectionately grabbed Nicole's arm, "Anyway, the new record will be released in the second half of the year, and when I get to May, I'll move in here with you." ”

"We're going to make Lanai off-limits." She rolled her royal blue eyes, "No one else, including Ryan, can enter." (To be continued......)
