Chapter 599: Avengers One
Marvel Studios.
"Do you know why, Iron Man is the soul of our Marvel? You don't know, you don't understand, because you didn't win the Oscars and the Berlin Silver Bear. ”
The expert style that Fang Yu took out made the big and small shareholders present have a hard time, and if they want to refute two sentences, they can't refute it.
That is, there are indeed no Oscars and Silver Bear awards, and other famous screenwriters may not be able to win both awards, not to mention that Fang Yu still has the title of the lucky son at the box office, who can say that he will go?
Don't talk to me about the script if you don't get the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and directly block the mouths of the shareholders!
If he says a few more words, then he will have to use the position of Marvel's number one film and television consultant to suppress people.
"Why don't you guys fight with the rocket builders, how about rockets? Why don't you stop Messi and tell him how to play? Oh! If you have an open mouth, you can discuss the script! Is the threshold for our industry so low? I also want to cut the plot of Iron Man, without Iron Man, you eat fart! ”
Originally, this shareholders' meeting was also held, but according to the script, in parallel time and space, it was Stan Lee who came forward to add more Iron Man scenes, and this time it was Fang Yu.
"Stephen," a white woman who seemed to be a little emaciated, got up, "This time I worked hard to talk to Soni about Spider-Man's appearance, you know, Spider-Man's IP has a wide audience in the world. In your script, Iron Man is the absolute protagonist of the story, is this a bit of a reversal of the cart? ”
"This beautiful young lady, I suggest you eat more protein." As Fang Yu spoke, he walked towards the white shareholder step by step.
"What, what." The white female shareholder was taken aback, because Fang Yu's current hairstyle and expression were too uncomfortable!
He had just finished playing the role of a clown, and he wore a purple suit without saying anything green.
It's just about getting some more white paint on your face! Isn't this just a clown make-up that comes alive?
It is naturally impossible for someone who can become a shareholder of Marvel not to know that this is the number one villain of the opposite company DC - Joker!
The character of Joker, you don't know what he will do in the next second, even if this is the board of directors, this white woman is very scared, and she has degenerated from a director to a sensible.
"Oh, what else can I do? I can only go first"
Fang Yu said, stretching his hand into his pocket.
"Oh Mai Ka!"
"Oh my God!"
"Stephen! Calm down! Calm down! You're just, just not coming out of that role! You're not a joker! You're an actor! Calm down! ”
Fang Yu smiled at everyone, licked his tongue around his lips, and took out a book from his pocket, "It turns out that this book is so lethal?" Tsk, let's learn from you first, "Fundamentals of Film Script Writing", take it. ”
The book was forcibly stuffed into the hands of the female shareholder, and she was still looking at Fang Yu's face in fear, and Fang Yu suddenly came over again.
"Thirty-nine eight! Give you a zero, just give forty! ”
When he said this, the shareholders behind him happened to see the pricing behind "Fundamentals of Film Script Writing" - 19.99
Just kidding, everyone was afraid of Fang Yu's performance.
But to be honest, it was Fang Yu's "professionalism" that made a group of laymen who were already laymen shut their mouths.
After the shareholders left, Fang Yucai and Isaac Perlmutter, chairman of Marvel Entertainment, complained:
"Shareholders are like this, they invest a little money thinking they know very well, for fear that their money will be wasted, and they will also intervene in the company's decision-making and mention that they have no idea of construction."
"Stephen, you're doing a great job, and I trust your decision."
Isaac Perlmutter is a self-made genius, he is the same as Gal Gadot, he has been a soldier in Israel, when he first came to Ah Mei, he was penniless, through a little bit of wealth accumulation, he continued to buy the debts of loss-making companies, and finally became a member of the board of directors of Marvel, it happened that at that time the financial crisis, Marvel had to sell many famous IPs, such as Spider-Man sold to Sony, and Fox's X-Men gift pack, etc.
Later, Isaac Perlmutter became the CEO of Marvel, if it weren't for Fang Yu's intervention, he would have sold Marvel to Disney a long time ago, and it was because of Fang Yu's appearance that it brought hope to Marvel.
Now tighten the belt of his pants, endure it, give Soni a good face, and successfully shoot "Avengers I", at that time, it was time for Marvel Entertainment to turn over and sing!
"Stephen, I don't know how to write a script, I just know that you are a talent, and for talent, I know that I have to let you do it, but now there is a problem, I need to negotiate with you."
When Marvel was at its most difficult, Fang Yu was invited to be a film consultant.
At present, "Thor", "Captain America", and "Iron Man 2" have all been released, and the box office is:
"Thor 1", cost $130 million, and the global box office is $490 million.
"Captain America 1", cost $140 million, and the total global box office is $400 million.
"Iron Man 2" cost $200 million and grossed $700 million worldwide.
It is worth mentioning that these three works have the influence of Fang Yu, so the box office performance of the three films is slightly stronger than Fang Yu's previous life, for example, the American team 1 with a box office of 370 million has become 400 million, and the Iron Man II with a box office of more than 600 million has rushed to 700 million.
In the above three films, Fang Yu participated in the production and performed well at the box office, but problems also followed.
When Marvel was at its most difficult, Fang Yu came to be a consultant, but he wrote the contract.
It was Fang Yu who took out the paper and asked the company to sign a contract.
That is, Fang Yu has the right to participate in the investment.
Originally, when it wasn't profitable, it was all Tu Yile said.
It's like the boss painting a cake for people, saying that if the performance reaches 1 million, he will give the company shares.
As a result, it really happened, and the boss was stunned.
At the moment, Isaac Perlmutter is facing this problem.
If Fang Yu does not participate, the personal movies of the three heroes can also bring a lot of income to Marvel, Fang Yu's joining is completely eating Marvel's human blood steamed buns, and there is a legal and compliant contract in front, Marvel is useless to say anything now, he can only watch Fang Yu pay for each drama, sit back and wait for dividends after the screening, but there is nothing to be done.
Chairman Isaac Perlmutter could only knock on the side and signal to Fang Yu.
He said.
"This I, I have studied stocks for a long time, you know, investment is risky, you must be cautious when entering the market!"
"What the chairman said must be right, I have always been very cautious, so I only contribute twenty-four percent of the new Avengers?"
Isaac Perlmutter almost rolled his eyes on the spot!
Fang Yu said the same as not saying it.
Avengers one, the tentative shooting cost is about 200 million US dollars, and the high will not be higher than 250 million US dollars, Fang Yu will take tens of millions to invest in a movie at every turn, as a personal funder, his behavior should be very popular in the industry.
The problem lies in his title as a box office lucky winner. Others invested money, Isaac Perlmutter felt that he was supporting his own movie, and Fang Yu invested money? That's just a cake in the branch.
But there was nothing to be done.
So what can be done?
The contract is signed, and Marvel violates the rules, which is four billion.
Just kidding, four billion, catching up with Disney's acquisition price for Marvel!
Isaac Perlmutter understands that the Stephen Fang in front of him is locked with Marvel in this life, and it is impossible to leave, because leaving means that Marvel wants to leave the house.
How much hatred does this have to be to do this.
It's okay, at least Stephen Fang didn't make trouble, and the company is indeed developing in a good way
————
Avengers One, a real Marvel movie, made the company a leader in the industry again.
The filming cost is 220 million US dollars, and the total global box office, excluding the income from audio and video products, is an exaggerated figure of 1.5 billion US dollars!
If you add a lot of miscellaneous extra income, this Avengers One is not much better than Shen Wansan's cornucopia.
1.5 billion dollars, in exchange for steel hammers, that can fill an entire street.
The steel hammer of 100 million yuan for one dollar is pulled by trucks in the first four and eight in the back, and it takes 20 cars to pull it away.
According to the exchange rate of 6.2, 1.5 billion US dollars converted into RMB steel hammer has to use 1,860 trucks to pull it!
And of these 1,800 trucks, Fang Yu had to divide a few hundred.
Not to mention that Marvel's board of directors felt that Fang Yu was sucking blood, even Fang Yu himself thought so.
No one else knows that this Avengers One, with or without his Stephen Fang involvement, can get 1.5 billion dollars.
With Fang Yu, maybe the box office is still low.
But Fang Yu has this confidence, the box office will definitely not be lower than 1.5 billion, or even much higher than 1.5 billion, and this movie will definitely become the highest-grossing movie in his career.
There is no other reason.
In the initial version of "Avengers I", there were only six members: Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America.
Excluding Black Widow and Hawkeye, who have not yet had independent movies, as well as the popular Iron Man, the rest of Thor, Hulk, and Captain America are only two-thirds of Iron Man's current popularity.
The version of Iron Man that takes the lead can get a box office result of 1.5 billion US dollars.
Now, Fang Yu has added the original Spider-Man to his "Avengers".
The timeline of "Spider-Man Four Heroes Return" filmed by Fang Yu some time ago was before "Avengers One", and at the end he also added an Easter egg similar to Iron Man 2, in which he played Hawkeye, appeared in front of Tony Stark and invited him to join the Avengers.
"Hawkeye" pulled Spider-Man into the Avengers lineup!
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of impact this movie would have on the world film industry when it was released
I'm afraid that the comic industry will become a hot golden egg in the future.
If you add a Spider-Man, you must add a villain.
Loki, as the villain boss of Avengers One, is actually a little unqualified.
To put it bluntly, Loki used Thanos' Zetari army to invade the earth, and his own ability is a little insufficient.
The fight scenes are also superhero cannons to fight mosquitoes, the coolest attraction, but the Hulk picked up Loki and shook it a few times, no stalk.
Carefully analyze the abilities of several Avengers and compare Loki's strength, it is not difficult to find that this is a boss that does not stand up to fighting, and it is not cool when it is ready, and everyone is fighting small soldiers, which has no effect.
Feeding!
Must be fed!
What is Marvel more?
More superheroes!
What's more?
More supervillains!
There are always more supervillains than superheroes, and this is because a superhero must have enough villains to support him to appear so heroic.
Fang Yu didn't think much about it, and drew cards from the Avengers' sworn enemies one by one.
The first character to draw is Spider-Man's enemy.
Imitate the masters!
As a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, it makes sense that he was found by Loki and controlled or cooperated.
Of course, this is all Marvel's analysis, they don't understand how much Fang Yu's industry evaluation will be improved if he can play a wave of imitation masters vs Hawkeye again in "Avengers I".
To put it bluntly, the imitation master is here to give his eagle eye and add drama.
Adding a villain is not enough to see, you have to have a fist to the flesh, you can fight with superheroes, especially with the Hulk similar to "Superman" in this timeline, a character 1v1.
Fang Yu didn't think much about it, and directly moved out of the hatred.
You don't have to spend much money on this character's special effects, just use the materials in "The Incredible Hulk".
As there are more characters, there are more scenes, and the length of the film will naturally increase.
As soon as the Marvel board of directors said that it would cost more to lengthen the length of the film, Fang Yu directly said that he would make additional investment, and the result was that Marvel didn't want Fang Yu to share more of the cake, so he decided to run out of funds and add 50 million US dollars in filming costs.
However, Fang Yu didn't think so, because he knew very well that the box office performance of "Avengers I" could not collapse.
As long as the editing team doesn't invite the sand sculptures that edited for "Justice League", it's perfectly fine.
If it weren't for the fact that the tone of Marvel movies is a little different from DC movies, Fang Yu would have wanted to ask Zack Schneider to be the editor of "Avengers I".
In terms of plot, the book written by Fang Yu is also very similar to the original plot, the difference is that there is more Spider-Man, there is more master of abomination and imitation, the length increases, the gags between the characters, and the dialogue plot without fart and throat has been deleted a lot, and the essence is basically left to the action scenes.
The roles and the content of the script have been decided, and the rest is the link that Fang Yu is most concerned about.
As an action movie star, Fang Yu is very aware of his position in Hollywood.
He just has to do some things, these white people can't understand, to be able to stand.
He spent a lot of money on this trip, and finally invited the big guy who was resting at home during this time out of the mountain.
"Avengers One", martial arts instructor - Yuan Heping!
