Chapter 1025： SHIELD

Movies like "The Hulk", if you don't see it in the theater, you may lose half of the viewing pleasure. The huge picture on the big screen and the deafening sound are temporarily not available in home entertainment equipment.

In the summer file, the audience wants sensory stimulation, not thought storms.

The difference between director and director is also quite big, Jos Weiden and Lee Ang have completely different styles.

The saying that there is a specialization in the industry is not just to say, it has a clear manifestation in Hollywood.

Artistic film directors are born for ideas, and special effects entertainment film directors are born for vision. The two specializing in "technical industry" are different, and the results produced are also completely different.

The success of "Hulk" has undoubtedly put Marvel Entertainment's Avengers project further on the fast lane.

Marvel Entertainment called a press conference on Monday to officially announce the establishment of the "Avengers" project and announced that Joss Weiden will be the director.

The production budget for this project will be as high as 200 million US dollars, an absolute top commercial production.

If it is said that after the release of "Iron Man", many people inside and outside the Hollywood circle think that the Marvel Entertainment Avengers project may not be successful. After the first weekend box office of "Hulk" in North America, this group of people began to realize that the comic change Superhero movies and even mainstream commercial movies in Hollywood may usher in a new era.

After more than two years of operation of Netflix’s streaming media, it also has a certain sense of the entertainment market. Mark Randolph called Ronan, hoping that works related to the Marvel’s Avengers project can be directly streamed by Netflix in the future. The media is played on the platform.

Ronan also specially convened Kevin Fitch to discuss with George Clint, and determined the main direction of the first episode when the success of the Avengers project can be expected and the future becomes clearer.

Due to the personnel transfer involved, Robert Iger, who is responsible for the company's daily operations and management, also participated in this small meeting.

"Marvel Entertainment does not have a dedicated drama production department."

This small conference was hosted by Robert Iger: "The development of Marvel's drama series requires the cooperation of Marvel and Shahai Entertainment."

George Clint said: "There is no problem with cooperation, but Shahai Entertainment also has practical difficulties." He glanced at Ronan and said directly: "At present, Shahai Entertainment is undertaking a number of Netflix streaming media customization projects and drama production. The staff is very tight."

Kevin Fitch knew that Marvel Entertainment did not have the ability to produce episodes independently, and said: "This is a long-term plan. I will temporarily form a small team to prepare the copywriting work in advance."

Robert Iger said: "You two will deploy your staff to work together. The crew is a long-term plan. According to Ronan's plan, it will be released after the release of "The Avengers" at the earliest."

Ronan then said: "The film has enough enthusiasm to fully promote works including drama and animation."

His meaning is very clear, the Marvel superhero movie series is far from hot enough.

At the earliest, it will be after "Avengers" before Marvel can really take shape and pull related works in all directions.

George Kling said: "I have no opinion, I will immediately deploy suitable personnel when I turn around."

Kevin Fitch said: "I will keep in touch with George."

Robert Iger said directly: "Contact me or Ronan if you have any questions."

Connie put a copy of the prepared text in front of everyone at this time. The text was not thick, it was Ronan's simple plan.

Ronan quickly said: “In the comics, there are many well-known characters that may not appear in movies in the future, such as the main characters in S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. These are some of my thoughts on the first Marvel series. Focusing on S.H.I.E.L.D., for example, from the earliest establishment of Peggy Carter and Howard Stark to becoming an international security organization, there are many articles to do."

Kevin Fitch said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. is a key organization in the Avengers, with S.H.I.E.L.D. as a background, which is very suitable for adaptation."

George Clint has limited knowledge of Marvel comics and has not made any comments.

Ronan added: "I'm only responsible for providing advice, Kevin, the one who knows Marvel comics best is Marvel itself. You are fully responsible for the specific plans and scripts of the drama."

Kevin Fincher said, "No problem."

Ronan nodded to Robert Iger, and Robert Iger declared the meeting adjourned.

George Clint and Kevin Fitch walked out of the conference room and then entered the elevator room one after another. They obviously needed to communicate.

Robert Iger and Ronan also chatted for a while, mainly about Twentieth Century Fox.

The relevant plan is still at the level of the core team around Ronan and Robert Iger. If you want to implement it, you must wait for the right opportunity.

This opportunity is not just waiting, but also actively creating.

Ronan returned to the office and called Finch to ask him and his security team to be fully vigilant. The staff outside would collect as much relevant information as possible without causing concern.

At noon, Ronan was going to have lunch with Jessica Felton. Jessica Felton was out of the office and went out to make an appointment with the director.

While working on the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4", she is also advancing some of the preparatory work for "Sweet Police Flower".

Such as finding suitable directors and actors.

Ronan heard Jessica Felton talk about some situations before. Because of their professional relationship, it is impossible for the two heroines to use actors who are too young. They basically choose actors born between 1970 and 1980. .

During this time, Hollywood has many actresses with outstanding acting skills and looks, and they are not very paid.

In the afternoon, Ronan met Robert Lee, and negotiations with Warner Bros. made little progress.

Since he was not in a hurry at all, the conditions offered could only be described by the big opening of the lion. Ronan still wanted to fight for the film and television adaptation rights of "Wonder Woman" as long as he could.

This is also the biggest difference between the two sides. Warner Bros. and DC Comics do not want to see another "Batman" series of movies appear.

"Time is not good for us."

Burbank, in the conference room of the Warner Building, DC Comics CEO Diego Harris looked serious: "The success of "The Dark Knight" can be expected. If the "Dark Knight" succeeds, we may pay more. cost."

Charles Rowan complained a bit: "I reacted to Ronan Anderson's conditions more than a year ago. At that time we were not passive..."

Kevin Tesuhara's eyes swept over, and Charles Rowan could only shut up.

Another Warner Bros. executive said: "Can we think of something about Christopher Nolan?"

Charles Rowan reminded: "Christopher Nolan has signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment and is preparing to shoot a sci-fi production. Warner Bros. can give him, and Relativity Entertainment can also give him. He and Ronan Anderson It’s more likely to sell us backhand."

Kevin Tesohara said slowly at this time: "Wonder Woman's copyright is absolutely not allowed, this is our bottom line!"

Diego Harris and Charles Rowan all nodded. This is the consensus of all of them. Warner Bros. and DC Comics are advancing the Justice League movie universe project. How can Wonder Woman, one of the three giants of justice, be absent?

There is a black widow in the Marvel Avengers universe, and the Justice League universe also has a female character corresponding to it.

When it comes to fame and influence, Wonder Woman will defeat Black Widow in every aspect.

Kevin Tesohara asked: "Can you shoot a sequel to the "Batman" series besides "The Dark Knight Rises"?"

Charles Rowan replied: "Christopher Nolan only signed a contract for the trilogy. According to what I know about him, it is impossible for him to continue directing this series after the trilogy is over."

Diego-Harris said: “It’s enough to change the director. Once the trilogy sells, the subsequent sequels can still maintain sufficient influence. We don’t have to be a director. There are many directors of Dark Wind in Hollywood, such as Say Zach Schneider."

Kevin Tesuhara said: "Charles, can this series be directly linked to our Justice League universe."

Charles Rowan pondered slightly and said: "I discussed this with Zach Schneider. He thinks that the sequel is highly feasible as long as it is adjusted appropriately."

"Let Christopher Nolan complete his trilogy." Kevin Tesuhara said: "For the sequel, we will find other directors to take over and make full use of the established advantages."

He glanced at everyone in the conference room: "In this case, it is imperative to get back the investment rights."

Diego Harris then said: "Wonder Woman has no possibility to talk about it, but Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad are marginal characters. We can consider..."

Charles Rowan said: "I suggest that, in addition to the remake copyrights of the two old movies, other copyrights should not be included in the transaction. It is better to pay a certain amount of monetary compensation to Relativity Entertainment."

"They want $100 million!" Diego Harris said, "There is no room for bargaining."

Charles Rowan said: "Don’t forget, this includes the offline profit rights of "War Beginning" and "The Dark Knight" The following people are divided into two factions, supporting Charles Rowan and Diego Harris, arguing in the conference room for a while.

"Be quiet!" Kevin Tesohala waited for the meeting room to resume quiet, and said: "Either of these two conditions is fine. I only ask for one point. The problem must be resolved before the "Dark Knight" is released."

Others stopped talking, but everyone knew that this negotiation was not easy.

Kevin Tesuhara said: "Now for another question, "Hulk" has been a success. Marvel Entertainment’s Avengers movie universe has already sold two movies, and the progress is far ahead of the Justice League. The movie universe! What about us? Not even a movie is released!"

"Diego, Charles! You have to urge Zach Schneider and Martin Campbell to finish "Watchmen" and "Green Lantern."
