Chapter 771 Super Gossip
In this era, Hollywood's first-line commercial productions will only appear in two time periods, namely the summer schedule and the holiday schedule that begins in November.
Compared with the holiday season closely linked to the awards season, the summer season is undoubtedly more suitable for commercial productions.
May is the hottest throughout the summer season.
The North American film market has experienced several months of relatively cold screening periods. The audience's expectations and hunger often reach a peak in May, and they will also generously donate to the movies that can make them interested.
May, which starts the summer season every year, is often the period when the top first-tier commercial productions are released the most. Videos that have enough confidence in themselves are often released in May.
The summer season in 2005 began with the highly-watched "Spy Shadows 3" under Relativity Entertainment. In the next few weeks, 20th Century Fox's "Dynasty" will be released one after another, DreamWorks and Michael Bay's super science fiction masterpiece "Escape from the Clones Island", Sand Sea Entertainment's first animated feature "Despicable Me", George Lucas' last Star Wars movie "Revenge of Heath" will be released one after another.
All parties are competing for dominance and want to share the most generous piece of cake in the summer season.
The summer vacation period begins and enters **.
But before the summer season arrived, two news articles closely related to the movie instantly exploded the North American entertainment market.
Marvel Entertainment announced the end of this series in the last issue of the Fantastic Four comics published in April, and the comics that are the ending issue were also published at the same time.
The Fantastic Four, who had committed numerous crimes and completely turned into a villain who did everything, tried to destroy the United States. They were stopped by the Avengers led by Iron Man and Captain America, convened members such as Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow. The two sides started a fierce battle in New York.
During this period, the Fantastic Four took the entire Manhattan Island as hostage and threatened the Avengers.
After a hard battle, the Avengers finally defeated the Fantastic Four, saved New York and the United States, and Manhattan.
But many people still died.
At the end of the comic, the public, media and the government angrily denounced the Fantastic Four, completely nailing the Fantastic Four to the pillar of shame.
At the same time, because it affected many civilians, another voice began to appear. Who gave the Avengers law enforcement power? Does the Avengers have law enforcement power? Should they be restricted? In order to avoid depravity like the Fantastic Four under strong supervision?
After all, the fall of the Fantastic Four has caused a series of negative effects around the world.
The ending of the comic, led by the United Nations and the U.S. State Department, is preparing to introduce an initiative to restrict and superheroes - the Superhero Registration Act!
In order to make the image of the Fantastic Four villain more deeply rooted in people's hearts, at Ronan's suggestion, Marvel's most famous major event, the once well-received "Civil War", took the Fallen Four villain as the fuse and beginning with the Fallen Four's depravity as the villain.
As soon as May entered, Marvel Entertainment immediately launched the ready-made "Civil War" comic. The crimes of the Fantastic Four were mentioned again and again, and completely became the super villain in the comics.
As soon as the comic book "Civil War" was released, the American comics industry was in an uproar. The political thriller elements involved were undoubtedly a reflection of the real society and received unanimous praise from both inside and outside the industry.
Driven by Relativity Entertainment, related publicity and hype immediately followed. In this information age, once the popularity rises, the influence instantly spreads beyond the comics.
With the support of Relativity Entertainment, Marvel's "Civil War" comics have just begun, but their influence has spread throughout the United States.
Similarly, because of the strong promotion of Relativity Entertainment, Fantastic Four has also become a villain cartoon character on the street.
And unlike Thanos, who is committed to family planning, who has ideals and personality, the Fantastic Four are completely self-deprecating.
This also led to the media becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Fantastic Four, which will be released next month.
"As a former signature character in Marvel comics, the fall of the Fantastic Four triggered the split of superheroes." Some media said: "This will allow comic fans to further solidify the comic image of the Fantastic Four. The movie adaptation of the protagonist of justice will inevitably be negatively affected."
According to information obtained by Ronan, 20th Century Fox discussed the postponement of "Fantastic Four", but finally decided to start painting in North America during the original schedule.
Some senior executives of 20th Century Fox believe that the longer the release time of "Fantastic Four" is delayed, the longer the influence of the comic will ferment, and the more unfavorable it will be for the movie.
"Fantastic Four 2", which was originally planned, was temporarily shelved by 20th Century Fox.
Twentieth Century Fox's resources in commercial production have mainly turned to two aspects: one is to continue to increase the development of the "X-Men" series, as well as related derivative movies, such as Magneto, Professor X and Wolverine's independent films; the other is to fully promote the war epic project.
"Moses Opening the Sea", adapted from "Exodus", has been launched, and Ridley Scott has also signed a contract with 20th Century Fox to serve as the director of this project. In several months of preliminary preparations, 20th Century Fox has spent tens of millions of dollars.
Because of the successful cooperation between "Independence Day" and "The Day Afternoon", Twentieth Century Fox was more proactive in promoting Roland Emmerich's "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric". Not only did the project start preparations, but even the hero and heroine were determined. After spending all the 20 million US dollars in advance, the second fund of up to 30 million US dollars was transferred from Twentieth Century Fox to a third-party guaranteed account.
Another project adapted from "Robin Hood" is relatively lagging behind, and Twentieth Century Fox is recruiting screenwriters to create scripts.
Even with the strength of the six major Hollywood companies, they will not promote too many top production projects in the same period.
But Twentieth Century Fox has invested heavily in "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric" and two projects temporarily named "Moses Opening the Sea", and it will be very difficult if he changes his mind and wants to leave.
Sometimes, Hollywood is particularly stubborn. Faced with some unknown and uncontrollable situations, such as the entanglement between Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron's "Titanic" by that time, Universal Pictures repeatedly delayed and added investment in "Future Water World", etc., the final choice of the production company is to continue investing and make the film.
Because the film may be successful after being shot. Once the project is rejected, the initial investment will be completely wasted.
There have been too many cases in Hollywood where everyone is not optimistic about it, and there are various accidents during the shooting, but the box office hit after it was released.
The most typical example is that George Lucas's "Star Wars: New Hope" was criticized by representatives of companies in the industry and professional film critics outside the industry during its preview. However, after it was released, it staged a Jedi counterattack and even became a representative of American pop culture.
Back then, George Lucas was scolded for being suspicious of his life. He didn't even look forward to the movie himself. In order to be released, he had to sell the film's screening rights to Twentieth Century Fox, which allowed him to appear in the theater.
Fortunately, the toys and other peripherals in live-action movies were not valued at that time. Twentieth Century Fox itself was not optimistic about "Star Wars: New Hope" and did not talk about peripheral copyrights with George Lucas at all.
Lucasfilm has kept all the copyrights of Star Wars in a daze.
This is also the key to the rise of Lucasfilm.
But there is one thing George Lucas can't be saved after all. Just as the copyright of Pixar Studios' animated feature films is in Disney's hands, the copyright of "Star Wars: New Hope" has always been in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox.
Whether it is the alumni association of the USC Film Academy or the deployment made for 20th Century Fox, Ronan is actually the most prepared for the future.
Neither Ronan nor Marvel Entertainment want the Fantastic Four to be successful.
Another news that triggered the entertainment market is also related to Relativity Entertainment, and its influence and topicality are even far greater than that of the news about "Fantastic Four".
After a long period of preparation, the media that obtained the evidence made a long and long report that caused a sensation in the United States and even the world!
Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie during the filming of "The Smiths", and after the dubbing of the male and female protagonists in the post-production of "The Smiths", Jennifer Aniston personally caught the two in bed.
All three parties are famous Hollywood stars, especially Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who are known as the Golden Boy and Jade Girl of Hollywood.
Rachel got love, and the princess lived happily with the prince from then on.
This is a media description of the happy life of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Now, the princess was slashed by the prince, and all the beautiful love was disillusioned like a bubble.
Compared to Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie was bold and fierce. When faced with media reporters, she admitted her affair with Brad Pitt without hesitation, claiming that the two were the real love.
A super-disputed triangular gossip has begun, and with the fuel of Relativity Entertainment, its sensation and influence are completely beyond that of the past.
Jennifer Aniston was miserable, but for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, this is a good publicity that cannot be said anymore.
Many movie fans saw the large poster of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in "Mr. Smith" and kept scolding "dog man and woman", but their hearts were full of curiosity - what kind of film is it that can make Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hook up and become a rape?
Compared to the overwhelming gossip of "Mr. Smiths", the upcoming "Spy Shadows 3" is a bit quiet, but with the first two movies as the basis, no one can underestimate this movie.
