Chapter 374

This "Spider-Man" is a milestone existence for Hollywood superhero movies, and it is Peter Parker's success on the big screen that opened up the sales of superhero movies around the world.

For example, Ronan, before the release of "X-Men" in 2000, most people's concept of superheroes was on Superman and Batman. At that time, people around them had never even heard of DC and Marvel.

It was only with Wolverine, Magneto, and Professor X gradually entered the field of vision.

Even so, the impression given by "X-Men" is just a movie of a group of superpowers. Although Uncle Wolf is extremely popular, it is not a superhero movie to save humanity.

Until the release of "Spider-Man" in 2002.

The birth of this work made the concept of superheroes popular all over the world, and countless people around the world were crazy about it, which greatly promoted the development of superhero comic adaptations.

The movie has a very large adaptation of comics, and even the character of Spider-Man in the movie and Spider-Man in the mainstream comics has been completely changed.

Toby Maguire, of course, wouldn't be a spider-like spider-like jumping away from the little spider-like. In this "Spider-Man", Spider-Man, one of Marvel's two big mouth cannons, did not play any of it at all.

In fact, such a movie is very difficult. It has to face the scrutiny of hardcore comic fans, please watchers who are not familiar with the original work, and make up for the lack of movies that have never been seen in the decades of the birth of Spider-Man.

If it were the 1980s or early 1990s, the era of the great pioneering of special effects movies, anyone trying to shoot Spider-Man would obviously be regarded as unwise because it was too difficult to express.

So from any perspective, this movie series is a pioneer, and "Spider-Man" can also be regarded as the first person to take the lead.

And the movie adaptation is quite successful.

Those thrilling, fast-swinging and flying shots in the city are very successful, and the comic-like exaggerated shooting and narrative techniques are refreshing.

The film has been a huge success.

Because Ronan holds the copyright of Marvel superhero movies, he is very concerned about Spider-Man's every move.

As soon as Pu was released, the film set several records in succession, such as the unprecedented scale of 3,615 theaters in North America, such as the highest Friday and Saturday box office in North America, and the highest first weekend box office.

The $114.84 million in the first three days made "Spider-Man" the first film in North America to have a box office of over 100 million in the first week.

Since then, the standard for the first weekend of Hollywood's top major productions has also increased to $100 million.

The great success of "Spider-Man" has made countless people, including Ronan, envious. This is more than just a gold mine!

Only Marvel Comics was happy, sad and shed tears alone.

His own son succeeded and obtained countless profits, but as a result, most of the profits fell into the pockets of his godfather, and Marvel's personal father made limited profits.

On the contrary, many comic fans went to the Marvel Comics headquarters to protest, believing that the movie adaptation ruined the original comic book.

This kind of thing can never be avoided in adapting movies.

But if the movie is successful, it is necessary to adapt it.

Perhaps, the production team and Sony Columbia have also realized the impact of the current social situation on the film.

Therefore, this "Spider-Man" keeps showing people a simple, unlucky, and even stupid hero, which makes people wonder where Peter Parker, who likes to talk nonsense, is so energetic and talented smart ghost? The cute little Spider is gone, replaced by a fool named Toby Maguire who has good luck and gains super powers.

After Toby Maguire took off Spider-Man's clothes, he was just a naughty young man who most people didn't want to take a look. He looked average and looked a little dull, and often made mistakes, which made people feel that he was useless except for superpowers.

But Peter Parker in the movie is kind and cute, honest and simple, full of love, and loyal to love. Just like every ordinary person in life, he seems to be unfavorable, but in fact he is full of flowers in his heart.

It can only be said that the protagonists needed by the audience in each era are different.

According to the original routine, Peter Parker is very handsome. High school students can do atomic science, have many romantic affairs, like to talk, and have no worries about food and clothing...

I guess many people accept incompetence.

This "Spider-Man" also set a deep enough spiritual core for the superhero themes in the next few years - the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

If Nolan's Batman brought this philosophy to the extreme, then "Spider-Man" is the pioneer of this connotation.

In just ten days, Spider-Man's North American box office reached 225 million US dollars, almost breaking all the breakable North American box office records.

"What a pity."

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Robert Lee kept shaking his head: "We got so many Marvel superheroes, but there was no Spider-Man among them."

Robert Eiger looked at Ronan: "We're going too late."

Ronan was somewhat helpless and said, "When I entered the film industry, Spider-Man's copyright was already in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. I asked Columbia that Spider-Man is their non-sale product."

Robert Iger said: "I thought Spider-Man would succeed, but I didn't expect it to be so successful. Superhero movies may no longer be a small category in the future."

"Now special effects technology is developing rapidly, especially computer special effects." Ronan was very calm: "These have improved the most basic technical support to achieve superhero movieization. "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" have succeeded one after another, proving that an era of superhero movies has begun."

Robert Lee has always been well-informed and said at this time: "It is said that many companies are promoting superhero film plans. Twentieth Century Fox's "Daughter" began filming in March, and "Fantastic Four" has also been put on daily life by them. Universal Pictures' "Hulk" is said to have been transferred to post-production and will be released next year."

He continued to talk about Marvel next door: "Warner Bros. and DC Comics are preparing for "Catwoman". If nothing unexpected happens, the new Oscar winner Halle Berry will star in Selena Kyle. The new movie of "Superman" has been preparing for the preliminary stage two years ago, and it is estimated that preparations will be made soon..."

Robert Iger continued: "Superhero movies are going to swarm."

Robert Lee said: "Most of these films will be invested in over 100 million US dollars, and they are top commercial productions." He looked serious: "With the success of Spider-Man, many companies want to get a share of the superhero."

Ronan smiled and said, "Since recent people are contacting me, wanting to buy the copyright of superheroes in our hands."

"You are very visionary." Robert Iger felt that he couldn't admire him: "At such a low price, I bought so many superhero copyrights."

He laughed: "Even if we sell the copyright, it will be a considerable income."

Ronan shook his head: "We won't sell the copyright, but we should also try our best to collect the copyrights of Marvel superheroes that are traversed in the hands of major Hollywood companies."

Robert Lee said: "I've been staring at the companies where these superheroes are copyrighted. If it's possible to buy, I'll do it right away."

Ronan reminded: "The primary focus is "Hulk" in the hands of Universal Pictures."

Although I haven't contacted Ang Lee for a long time, with Ang Lee's directorial style, I will inevitably make "The Hulk" a movie for the author.

It can be said that with Ang Lee's ability, Ang Lee can shoot movies that cost $10 or 20 million US dollars, according to his own style and ideas. He has a certain appeal and the pressure to recover money is not great. However, once the film investment is high, Ang Lee will shoot the author's movie again, and the risk will be doubled.

In fact, this is suitable for most film directors who have a distinct personal style that tends to be literary and artistic.

"If the Hulk is successful..." Robert Iger reminded: "We have no possibility of taking the copyright of the Hulk."

Ronan nodded: "Yes, so we're going to pray that this superhero masterpiece failed."

If the video fails, it is not only hopeful to talk to Universal Pictures about the copyright of the Hulk, but also let Ang Lee run back obediently if he can wave his hand.

This can be said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Robert Lee had dealt with Ang Lee and said, "I hope Ang Lee will add more humanistic thoughts to "The Hulk", just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", to make an art film with other cloaks."

Because he was not familiar with Ang Lee, Robert Eiger did not interrupt.

Ronan said lightly: "Based on my understanding of Ang Lee, this possibility is extremely great."

It is said that Universal Pictures gave Ang Lee the greatest trust. In addition to the final editing rights, all other powers were handed over to Ang Lee. Even in the final editing rights, Ang Lee also asked Ang Lee to provide the completed version for Universal Pictures to review.

Ronan calculated that according to the development of his previous life, there are possibilities for copyrights such as "The Hulk" and "Darkward", but the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" series are basically hopeless.

Robert Iger asked at this time: "When will we launch superhero movies?" He was quite calm: "From the current situation, the industry is extremely following the trend, and superhero movies require huge investment. I suggest delaying them for a few years."

"That's what I think," Ronan said directly: "Let's wait a few years, and wait until the audience begins to get tired of superheroes hiding their heads and covering their faces, and then launch our superhero movies! And it's a series of movies."

Robert Eiger didn't quite understand what Ronan meant, so he looked over curiously. Ronan simply said: "The superheroes in our hands are basically members of the Avengers."

"Avengers?" Robert Iger was not stupid at all, but was extremely smart: "Let the superheroes appear on the big screen in the form of the Avengers team?"

Ronan nodded gently: "This is one of the most important aspects of our future production plan."
