Chapter 1352

At the suggestion of boss Jia, these hard pressed researchers finally got a week's holiday and could have a good rest. Our boss Jia returned home for the first time and slept all day and night. After all, learning is a very hard thing.

While boss Jia is sleeping, the world is also developing.

For example, magic four, a movie that Marvel Buddha tossed around a lot, was finally released all over the world.

First of all, the IP of the magic four is Marvel itself, and even the hottest superhero IP in the whole country.

Some people may say that the hottest superhero in America should not be a superhero like iron man or captain Superman?

I haven't heard of the magic four!

This idea is wrong, because it is the idea of the Chinese people. It is the idea of the Chinese people through Marvel films, but it is not the idea of the Americans.

In fact, the magic four is still the largest superhero IP in the United States and has the most supporters. Otherwise, it won't be three years ahead of iron man and make a movie in 2005.

But the problem is that the first "magic four" failed, with a flood of bad reviews and box office. If Spiderman hadn't sold unexpectedly all over the world, if it hadn't been for the superhero film, it would have been on the street because of the "magic four", and there would be no marvelous universe in the future.

So now the premiere of the magic four is very hot in beimi.

At the same time, because this is also a film produced by Daqian film, and Daqian has just produced such a huge single moth in the film circle, with huge news flow, many people will be interested in the new film produced by Daqian.

So the film got off to a fantastic start, earning $80 million at the box office on the first day of release.

Just when everyone thought the film was going to take off, it fell at a faster speed.

On the second day, the box office of the film was cut down, and on the third day, it died prematurely again.

By the second week, the single day box office had never exceeded $10 million.

As for the third week, many cinemas directly chose to show the film.

The reason is very simple. The film is really terrible. The plot of the film is greedy for perfection. It clearly has only 120 minutes, but it wants to show the stories of the four magical heroes in an all-round way, their life experiences and mental journey.

In fact, it can't be wrong to do so. After all, this is what an excellent filmmaker and screenwriter want, but the problem is to stuff the things of four people into a film. It's too bullshit. It's bound to disperse the story line of the whole film, and finally become a half cooked thing like Baba shit, disgusting.

According to the evaluation of the audience, he went in without knowing anything, and then came out without knowing anything. They couldn't understand the plot at all.

However, some core Marvel fans came out to defend, saying that the film is actually very good, which brings together the essence and famous scenes of the magic four heroes comics in the past 30 years.

In addition, those who can't understand the plot are all because of their own ignorance. They only need to read all the more than 40 copies of the magical four Xia booklet and understand the detailed plot and design, so they can easily see the plot.

Well, with such comments, I believe everyone knows what the problem is. After all, normal people are not interested in reading 40 copies of the magic four.

On the other hand, there are also many black hands. After all, there are many people who like Daqian and many people who hate Daqian. For example, the Oscar Organizing Committee immediately cheered after seeing a bad review of the magic four and organized a group of people to start all kinds of crazy losers the magic four

There are those film critics before. They want to enlarge all the shortcomings of the magic four by 100 times, so naturally, the magic four exploded completely.

In the end, the global box office of magic four was $200 million, and the investment of $200 million only returned less than $60 million, resulting in a direct loss of $140 million.

This also makes the film companies around the world breathe a sigh of relief. In recent years, thousands of films have put too much pressure on them. In recent years, no film has rushed to the street, all of them have sold well, and continue to create box office records.

Now they know that the original films made by Daqian films will also hit the street, otherwise they really think Jia Yapeng is a jumper and know what theme films the audience like to see.

However, this money is not lost by Daqian, but by marvel. After all, Daqian film is only the producer of the film. People charge a production fee. Although it is not much, it is sure to make a profit.

The real investment of marvel and the American priority foundation, with an investment of US $200 million, is that Stan Lee cheekily gambled all his reputation and asked for it from the American priority foundation.

The American priority foundation made it clear from the beginning that they were not optimistic about the film and did not intend to invest in shooting. It was only when Stan Lee insisted and even threatened to introduce external capital that the American priority foundation finally reluctantly invested.

However, when investing, the two sides signed a gambling agreement, that is, if the film is profitable, all the profits except the investment funds returned to the American priority foundation will be controlled by marvel, of which 50% of the profits belong to Stan Lee himself, and the foundation will not interfere.

On the contrary, if you lose money, Stan Lee will bear all the losses and be responsible for repaying the losses.

At that time, Stan Lee signed the contract with full confidence. In his idea, he had thousands of films. The film giant who made Titanic was responsible for shooting. With a huge investment of US $200 million, he was able to make three times the special effects of Titanic. Coupled with the huge IP bonus of the superhero itself, the film would never lose.

But finally lost, or lost to Stan Lee himself, because the script given by Daqian film was not like this. The first half was the birth of the magical four heroes, the middle part was their pretending to force daily life, and the last part was the collective boss.

Very routine, but also have full confidence in the movie script that can attract the audience.

However, in order to limit the connotation of the role and maintain the original plot, Stan Lee had to redesign the plot himself. Later, he even did the work of dividing the mirror. Finally, the angry director of Daqian film industry directly patted his ass and left. Stan Lee found a small director who absolutely obeyed his own orders to take charge of the next shooting. Finally, there will be such a result, It's not surprising.

In fact, it can not be said that Stan Lee's idea of trying to show the story core and spiritual core of every superhero is wrong. On the contrary, it is correct. Only in this way can the superhero really let the audience remember him.

Several years later, Stan Lee also wanted to understand this problem, so the next Marvel films were dominated by personal heroes, such as iron man, Captain America, Thor and so on. Each superhero had his own exclusive films.

Then these superheroes gathered in a film to form the avenger alliance series. With more than 20 films, they created the marvel film universe, the marvel world in Stan Lee's heart.

The problem is, if you want to cram the volume of more than 20 films into one film, it's over.
