Chapter 1013： About Marvel

In the office of the Theory of Relativity Building, Ronan and Kevin Fitch are discussing Marvel Entertainment's film plans.

After the end of Avi Allard's term, Ike Palmt, who had previously served as chief creative officer and chief operating officer, took over as CEO of Marvel Entertainment, achieving a smooth transition of power.

In the new Marvel management power structure, Kevin Fitch, the president, is in charge of Marvel's film and television production business.

Kevin Fitch first reported to Ronan the progress of the Marvel movie at this stage: "The Hulk has held three internal screenings, and director Jos-Weeden comprehensively suggested that a small number of changes should be made. At the end of the film In the internal trial screening, the overall score was 9 points. Since the previous "Hulk" failed in a short period of time, the market response of this film cannot be comparable to "Iron Man."

Ronan said: "From the market response, Iron Man will become the most popular superhero among the Avengers."

In fact, his purpose is very clear. As long as "Hulk" can recover the investment through various online and offline operations, it is enough.

These superhero independent films are more paving the way for the future.

But having said that, the "Hulk" filmed by Joss Weiden has a good overall test response, and there is a high chance of getting a good movie box office.

Kevin Fitch continued: "Jon Fitch has already started preparing for "Iron Man 2." Although he is very interested in directing "Captain America," it is too late in terms of time."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the Russell brother who I kept you watching? Let's get in touch with them."

In the past two years, Relativity Entertainment has been paying attention to the Russell brothers. The Russell brothers have grown rapidly. They have successively filmed two American dramas as directors and screenwriters, and have accumulated a lot of work experience.

Kevin Fitch nodded: "I will let people get in touch with them as soon as possible." He turned to say, "The post-production of "Thor" has reached the second half stage, and all production will be completed before October, without delaying the holiday files. In theaters."

""Hulk", "Thor", "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America"..." Ronan said softly, "Then it will be "The Avengers."

Kevin Fitch asked: "Have you considered a director candidate?"

Ronan said directly, "Kevin, what do you think of Joss Weiden?"

"Hmm..." Kevin Fitch considered for a while and said, "Not bad, you can be a director candidate."

Ronan said: "You are directly responsible for the Avengers Project. If you think about it, my opinion is that the first choice is the director who has directed the Marvel superhero movies. After all, they are familiar with this series."

Kevin Fitch has a heavy responsibility and is very cautious: "I understand." He mentioned a key point: "Budget..."

Ronan said: "Don't worry, the budget is not a problem. The Pacific Investment Foundation can provide sufficient production funds for Marvel Entertainment at any time."

In fact, in the early stages of the Marvel Avengers plan, large sums of money are needed to get rich returns in the future.

Once this series really generated huge profits, it also started from "Avengers".

Ronan reminded: "Kevin, while preparing for "The Avengers", you also have to consider the second stage."

Kevin Fitch replied: "I will make a detailed plan and submit it to you after completion." Ronan had some discussions with him in this regard, and Kevin Fitch reminded: "The copyright of the Scarlet Witch Still in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox."

Scarlet Witch is part of the huge copyright of "X-Men". The comic is set as Magneto's daughter. The film and television copyrights of "X-Men" sold by Marvel Comics naturally also include this female mutant.

Once Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox reached an agreement, Scarlet Witch and Silver Fast were used separately, so in Marvel's series of movies, the name of Scarlet Witch was never mentioned, and it was always Wanda.

Given the relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox, it is basically impossible to reach such an agreement.

But Ronan's plan is bigger, far more than Walt Disney in the same period.

Ronan thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry about the copyright issue. I will find a way to solve it. You have to make a record. Even if there is no Scarlet Witch, it will not affect the second phase of the plan."

"Okay." Kevin Fitch said: "This is not a key role."

"Iron Man" is selling at the box office, not only Tony Stark is instantly hot, but Black Widow has also attracted much attention and has become a star role. The future must be the core of the female role in the Avengers plan.

This core position may last a long time.

Even Marvel Entertainment is already planning an independent movie of "Black Widow".

This is determined by market response.

But Ronan and Kevin Fitch are equally cautious about this. The first two female superhero movies "Catwoman" and "Erica" ​​all lost their first games.

If you ask companies in the industry whether female characters can alone carry a large-scale superhero movie, almost all the answers are no.

Ronan couldn’t help thinking of the Wonder Woman next door. As one of the three giants of justice and the first female superhero in history, Wonder Woman is more well-known and always remembers the banner of feminism. If it is adapted into a movie, it seems like a chance of success. Be bigger.

The Big Three of Justice are the core of DC Comics, so don’t think about copyright...

However, thinking of "The Dark Knight", Ronan felt that after the film was released, when Warner Bros. and DC Comics came to him to discuss the copyright of the sequel, maybe he could give it a try.

Anyway, even if it fails, there will be no loss.

If it succeeds, it will make a lot of money.

It seems that the long-legged heroine is about to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment. She has participated in the initial screening audition of "The Hunger Games" and has successfully entered the second round.

For Wonder Woman, the biggest flaw of the Israeli star is that his chest is too small.

Ronan is not in a hurry for "The Dark Knight" and subsequent copyright and investment issues. The project has progressed to the present. The anxious are Warner Bros., the dead Heath Ledger, and the clown who was cast as the last role in his life by Warner Bros. It only takes the movie to be released, and even the movie will be the god.

At that time, the box office of the film is booming, and various incomes have soared. Without Ronan's reminder, Warner Bros. will automatically come to the door to discuss the investment of "The Dark Knight Rise".

In fact, it's not that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have not been in contact with Shahai Entertainment recently. George Clint has been pushing back according to Ronan's request.

Time is good for relativity entertainment; time will also prompt Warner Bros. to make real determination.

The superhero movie plans of Warner Bros. and DC Comics are also steadily advancing. Preparations for "Green Lantern" have already begun. Ronan’s latest news is that Warner Bros. has also learned from 20th Century Fox to dig into the corner of relativity entertainment. "Gossip Girl" S queen Blake Lively, signed to star in the heroine of "Green Lantern".

Blake Lively and Relativity Entertainment are only signed a TV drama contract, and there is no restriction on starring in other movies.

As for the actor, Ronan has also asked people about it. Among the many candidates, there is an actor named Ryan Reynolds.

Until close to the end of get off work, Kevin Fei left.

Ronan handled part of the document work, and did not return to Future World Manor after get off work, and went directly to Jessica Felton's house.

Recently, he has lived here at night.

Climbing the peak can be addictive. The high altitude and beautiful scenery make people want to linger.

Faced with two directors and screenwriters with almost blank resumes, Shahai Entertainment occupies an absolute dominant position, and the speed of copyright negotiations is very fast.

The young female screenwriter Katie Dipod took the lead in signing the contract and sold all the script rights to Shahai Entertainment for $22,500.

The official name of this project is "Hot Hand Police Flower".

After Jessica Felton completes "Fast and Furious 4", she will be fully responsible for the project. The preliminary estimate of the production cost is 30 million US dollars.

Subsequently, Tom Hicks also formally signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment to sell the script to Shahai Entertainment for a symbolic price of $1 in exchange for more power in production.

Under Ronan's instruction, Shahai Entertainment also directly appointed Tom Hicks as the director and producer of "Human Centipede".

The production budget for this project is only 250,000 US dollars. Due to the particularity of the subject matter and content, Ronan did not want to involve the company directly. While doing financial supervision, he simply let Tom Hicks play to the full.

In the words of Tom Hicks, he wants to use "Human Centipede" to explore the source of fear buried in the deepest layer of human nature in a biological structure and anatomical way, and create a panic picture that exceeds human expectations.

Anyway, there is only 250,000 US dollars, and Ronan is also tossed by Tom Hicks. As long as the film is made abnormal enough, based on the relativity entertainment offline operation ability, it is not a problem to recover the investment.

Perverted movies have never lacked an audience in the United States.

A new weekend arrived, and "Hairspray", which entered its second week of screening, lost the box office champion.

"The New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" produced and released by Warner Bros. was released in North America this weekend squeezed "Hairspray" from the top spot in the North American box office charts.

The US$24.25 million in the first weekend of this comic-based film in North America is quite good compared to the US$34 million in production investment.

However, "Hair Gel", which slipped to the second place on the box office chart, had a very stable North American box office. The box office of the next weekend dropped by only 45% from the first weekend, and another US$19.08 million was collected on the second weekend of the show.

Ten days after it was released in North America, the North American box office of "Hairspray" totaled $64.56 million, and the final North American box office must exceed 100 million.

It is precisely such a series of movies or drama projects that sell well online and continue to profit from various offline channels and businesses, which constitute the huge operating income of Relativity Entertainment.

The huge sales of this film also proves that the revival of Hollywood musicals is not yet over.
