Chapter 1218

DC Comics and marvel comics are the two major mountains in the North American comics market, each with a huge fan base.

After the 1990s, both the sales volume and popularity, including the advanced consciousness of expanding the influence of adapted films, and even the copyright concentration of superheroes, the former are far ahead, occupying the absolute upper hand, and the heroic images of Superman and Batman are popular all over the world.

But after entering the 21st century, the latter has achieved a comprehensive anti super in the field of film, and established a huge Marvel Universe, becoming an important part of the Disney giant, while the former is losing all its territory in the competition.

Why?

Objectively speaking, after the millennium, Sony Pictures' "Spiderman" and 20th Century Fox '"X-Men" took the lead and set off a new wave of comic superhero movies. However, the "Batman" series directed by Christopher Nolan can be regarded as a classic in film history, achieving an incredible win-win in word-of-mouth and box office, even going down in history.

At this time, DC Comics and marvel comics can be said to have their own merits, share the world equally, and can not be separated from each other.

However, the official appearance of "Iron Man" in 2008 not only revitalized the career of little Robert Downey, but also revitalized his career; At the same time, it also opened the ten-year reign of marvel, witnessed the era of Marvel's great victory, and also witnessed the peak of Disney's regaining the throne. After that, the gap between the two comics became larger and larger.

To be more precise, the decline of Warner Brothers' DC superhero movie started in 2012.

It's a very, very special year.

For marvel, the victory of "Avenger alliance" officially announced the Marvel Universe with a proud attitude of creating history. When the audience saw the appearance of Avenger alliance, all the other characters were clear at a glance, except the new eagle eye and the Hulk who changed the actors, and the context had been linked up, This also means that the writer does not need to spend a lot of pen and ink to introduce the characters, and can save more space to lay the story, outline the characters, and even shake the burden.

So, the audience finally saw a wonderful popcorn blockbuster!

But Warner Brothers are not so patient. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. They don't have enough time to calm down and polish every superhero character.

After the "body of steel", the "dawn of justice" went straight to the shelves.

Batman is a brand-new actor, and wonder woman is also a brand-new debut. Even Superman's own story clues are incomplete. There have been two works of iron man in the Avengers alliance before, which makes iron man the core of this work and drives the whole story, but Superman has only one.

Without a clear outline of the characters and the context of the story, the characters of "justice dawn" are full of a sense of separation, and each character is not complete enough, so that the philosophical discussion on the theme becomes different. It can be seen that Zack Snyder, the director who leads to "the catcher", has been working hard, But the effect is very little.

After that, everything became a disaster.

So did the failure of the suicide team and the Justice League. In the movie, the writer and director have to spend pen and ink and space to introduce each role, but the limited space can not outline the complete role at all, and also self defeatingly further reduce their narrative time, which makes the story of popcorn which is already weak more fragmented.

Among the many works of DC Universe, "Wonder Woman" is the only one that is successful, and the reason is the same. On the contrary, this film has spent enough pen and ink to tell the origin and debut of wonder woman. The context is very clear, but the simple story connects the whole characters, and then integrates the laughing points, slot points, cute points and burden, The film successfully won the favor of the audience.

If - just assuming, if Warner Brothers is willing to slow down, don't rush to form a confrontation with marvel, but start from Superman, Batman and wonder woman, and make a good single film. After finishing the preparation step by step, the big three will join hands to make a work similar to the "Avengers alliance", And then lead to the clown or Flash single film, the layout of the second stage.

So, will the market pattern change?

This is a question that everyone is curious about, but time can't go against the current. Even if Barry repents and wants to overthrow again, he has no strength.

By the way, Universal Pictures tries to build a monster universe with "new mummy", "Godzilla" and other works, and their mistakes are the same.

Now Langley is curious that he is not sure if the helmsman he has never met is willing to listen to the harsh advice if he puts forward his own opinions to Lang Meyer; But at least, he can try Barry Meyer in front of him. Maybe, it can change the fate of Superman and Batman.

As a childhood memory, lanli still has a unique feeling for DC Comics, just like Spiderman of marvel. Every child dreams of becoming Peter Parker, a high school student who is a little impulsive and impulsive, but his fate has changed because of a magical accident.

For changing the pattern of the whole market, lanli has no ambition and no interest, just out of childhood memories.

Lanli simply told Barry what he thought. He thought that Warner Brothers should slow down and not fight against Marvel immediately. Instead, he seriously built the individual works of each superhero to ensure that each series can get a place, and then considered the whole DC Universe, Instead of standing on the height of the DC Universe to create a separate movie for each superhero.

Barry listened quietly, his eyebrows filled with curiosity.

Everyone knows that lanli has a unique vision for selecting roles, especially for independent art films. Although lanli's talent for commercial film has not been confirmed yet, it can be felt that his perspective and opinions are different.

Barry recalled the conversation at the Almeida theater for the second time, and a bold idea came out: "are you interested in working on Superman and Batman movies? I mean, as a producer, of course, if you're willing to work as an actor, that's great."

"No, no, No." Lan Li was slightly stunned. Then he began to laugh and waved his hand. He was afraid to avoid the panic. Instead, he made Barry interested and asked why.

Lan Li spread out his hands and expressed his helplessness, "I am an actor, a pure actor, not a producer. Sitting here to express my opinions, I can talk about it, but these are just theoretical knowledge, without any feasibility. Professional work should be given to professionals. "
