The nine hundred and eighteenth palm superhero universe takes shape!
With Chen Mubai's current status and influence, a movie he makes will inevitably attract global attention. After all, he is the first person to win a global film history Grand Slam.
Both honors and achievements are real and there is no denying this.
Even if the movie box office rankings were given, he would still be number one...
Even though many people may have their own favorite directors and think their works are more classic, based on the actual situation, no one can refute Chen Mubai's ranking.
"Iron Man" made him a global hit, and "Titanic" made him a global god!
The success of two consecutive films has allowed people all over the world to witness his strength, which further solidified his deity and made him the first globally famous Chinese director!
As soon as the news of the "Iron Man 2" press conference was released, it instantly caused shock around the world!
Many foreign reporters specially came to China to attend the press conference, just to get first-hand news. This shows Chen Mubai's influence!
Chen Mubai is the first Asian director to have such a big influence. Before that, this kind of influence was only available to European and American directors.
At the press conference, several leading actors stood on the stage to be interviewed by everyone.
"Excuse me, is this movie a sequel to the plot in the first part of "Iron Man"?" a reporter asked.
"Yes." Chen Mubai confirmed the other party's guess.
“What is this movie about?”
"According to the ending of the first part, Downey did not hide his identity, but made it public, which will inevitably attract the attention of all parties around the world. A person has super power and is not controlled, which means that this person is extremely dangerous.
He will make everyone speculate and uneasy, especially the government who will not ignore this time bomb."
"So, this movie mainly talks about the situation after revealing the identity of the hero, and the hatred from all forces. Moreover, Downey's escape from death did not completely solve his own crisis. What activated the Iron Suit was not ordinary energy.
This is radioactive, and even if you become a hero, you will still face many problems."
"Tao Yaoyao participated in this movie, is she the heroine?"
"She can be regarded as the heroine of this movie. Her role is very important and has a powerful effect on the entire superhero series."
Chen Mubai took advantage of the situation and raised an important topic, and at the same time let everyone know the importance of the role played by Tao Yaoyao, rather than a guest role.
As expected, his words attracted the attention of the entire audience, with many people showing expressions of surprise and saying "oh" at the same time.
"So, is she Donnie's girlfriend?"
Another reporter asked with a smile.
Tao Yaoyao is Chen Mubai's girlfriend in real life, but not in this drama.
Downey obviously got along with his assistant Pei Bo in the previous movie, so Pei Bo is his girlfriend.
This reporter's question actually has something to do with Pei Bo. If Tao Yaoyao plays Chen Mubai's girlfriend again, it means that the role of Pei Bo may be discontinued.
Whether it is death or alienation, it is a kind of exile.
Maybe, we can also see a love triangle?
Many people were actually very interested in this question, and everyone looked at Chen Mubai with a smile to see how he would respond.
"I'm sure you guys think Downey is really capable of doing this kind of thing. He's a playboy."
Chen Mubai looked at the expectant expressions of everyone and said: "But he is affectionate but not sentimental. He takes his feelings seriously. As for the truth, let's give it a try first. There is indeed a hidden secret. You will know it when you go to the movie.
.”
"I want to ask a digression. Isn't it said that there will be intersections between superheroes? Will there be other heroes appearing in this drama?"
Regarding this issue, many reporters present showed serious expressions. Obviously this point is extremely important.
No matter what, every hero must have its own characteristics and selling points. If they intersect with each other, they will definitely attract the audience of the other heroes. This is a very good gimmick and will be a great addition to the movie.
"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded.
"Will this hero have a solo film released?" the reporter quickly asked.
The project of "Iron Man 2" is now under construction. Including the shooting and post-production time, it will take more than half a year at the earliest to be completed. During this period, other hero movies may be released.
The two heroes that have been released so far are "Captain China" and "Iron Man".
But currently in production are "The Incredible Hulk", "Spider-Man", "Thor", "Ant-Man"...
They don't know the progress of the movie, but some works have reached the end of filming, or are even in post-production!
"Currently, there is no single hero. The absolute protagonist of any work is that hero. All works in which heroes appear will appear in a comprehensive work. That is, when the Avengers are successfully formed, these heroes will appear collectively."
Chen Mubai once again dropped a bomb to let the media know about his subsequent filming plans.
"These hero movies will allow you to better understand the stories behind the heroes, their encounters and ways to obtain their abilities. Before becoming superheroes, they are first people, so like all humans, they will also have their own lives and anxieties.
..."
"Don't be too happy when you see these people gathered together. You must know that everyone has a different personality, and there will be conflicts and dissatisfaction among them. These are all things that need to be resolved."
The reporter turned to interview Tao Yaoyao, looked at her and asked: "What do you think about starring in a superhero film?"
Tao Yaoyao replied with a smile: "I'm very happy. In fact, I am also a superhero in "Resident Evil", right?"
"It's just that these are two styles of work. One is biased towards the atmosphere of despair in the world, and the other is facing the enemies in the universe. In addition, there are also countries and other heroes. There is a kind of hope. I hope that I will not be there by then.
Just hold back~"
Also, most of the reporters present have watched this movie. Starting from the second film, the protagonist's abilities have obviously improved even more, and he is indeed considered a "hero".
The reporters asked several other people related questions, and then asked Chen Mubai the last question.
"I would like to ask if you went to the United States during this time for the movie "Spider-Man"? Why are you paying more attention to this heroic movie? What does it mean?"
Everyone knows about Chen Mubai's itinerary. His trip to the United States cannot be hidden from anyone. Besides, he spent so many days on the set and participated in the filming, how could no one know about it.
"Yes, this movie is actually one of my favorite hero works. He is like a dream of mine. At that age, I also thought about saving the world and becoming a hero. A high school student gained the ability to save the world. He will
How to use it, this movie can be said to be [a middle school boy’s dream] to a certain extent.”
At this press conference, Chen Mubai answered a lot about future shooting plans and the content of the movie.
...
"Iron Man 2" cast.
"Are you all seated?"
"arranged?"
Chen Mubai asked the crew members.
"Ready!"
"Come, get ready to shoot."
This scene was shot when Downey stood on the stage and told everyone about his feelings and the appearance of the new armor.
"The employees in the front row should sit down, and the seats in the back should be closer, and the dummies can be put up. When the time comes to shoot, the dummy will be processed in the back."
"action!"
When everything was ready, Chen Mubai stood on the stage wearing a brand new red armor. All the lights were turned on, shining on him, becoming the focus of the audience.
He opened his arms to welcome the audience's carnival.
Under the stage, everyone raised their hands and shouted loudly, releasing their enthusiasm.
A group of women wearing sexy red clothes were dancing next to them, and Chen Mubai stood on the other half of the stage.
In post-production, a robot arm will dismantle Downey's armor.
"Downey, Downey, Downey!" The audience shouted Downey's name loudly.
Chen Mubai's face was calm and he said loudly to everyone: "It's good to be back."
Everyone is welcome.
However, some people were angrily criticizing him for blowing up a place, which brought fear to people.
However, Downey didn't care about this person's opinion at all, but humorously admitted and put the matter behind him.
The voice gradually subsided, and Chen Mubai began to speak seriously:
"I did not say that the world has been immersed in a long-lasting state of peace for many years because of me, nor did I say that no one in the world was reborn like a phoenix like me!"
"I didn't even say that everyone could lie down comfortably on the chair, drink tea and watch TV, because I always maintain my peak condition and no one dares to challenge me!"
Downey's seemingly humble words before were actually a kind of conceit, which was said in the form of irony.
The following words are his true feelings. He feels that he is invincible now and has super abilities. Because of his shock, people will have a safe ecological environment.
"I love you, Iron Man!" a crazy audience shouted.
Chen Mubai shook his hand coolly, not caring about the other party's attitude at all: "Please, this is not important, you are not important, and we are not important. What is important is inheritance, what should we leave for future generations."
"So, starting next year, the best minds from different countries and companies around the world will provide their resources and share their common vision to create a better future."
"So, what I want to say is, welcome to visit Tang Group!"
"Click!"
"next paragraph!"
This plot is actually prepared in conjunction with "Spider-Man", and Chen Mubai has already designed it.
In "Spider-Man", Parker finally received an invitation from the Tang Group with excellent results, and he also became curious about the famous group. At the same time, because of Iron Man, he decided to protect himself from being exposed.
Because of his status and status, Downey will be suppressed from all sides. What will happen to a person with no background if his abilities are discovered?
Moreover, Downey relies on high-tech weapons, but he is different. He is the product of genetic mutation and can be studied or even replaced. Therefore, once a person with no background like him is discovered, what awaits him will definitely not be a good thing.
The scene shot later was about Downey being tried in court by the Chinese government.
As a person who has the ability to threaten Taoist national defense security, the government will naturally not let it go.
Therefore, they kidnapped Downey with public opinion, morality, and patriotism, hoping that he could hand over the core technology and dedicate this technology to the country.
After the filming started, everyone sat upright.
Only Downey looked at Pei Bo, not in front of him, but behind the seat.
It shows his out-of-the-box character and arrogant way of acting.
"Mr. Downey, let's continue the topic we just discussed. Can you listen to me attentively?" The judge looked at Downey dissatisfied.
"No problem." Chen Mubai smiled.
"Do you possess a special weapon?" the judge asked.
"I don't."
"you have not?"
"It depends on what you consider a weapon."
"Iron Man is the weapon."
"My invention is not a weapon."
Chen Mubai, who was wearing a suit and explaining with a serious expression, had a different kind of charm in the camera.
"It's a high-tech prosthetic limb."
The whole audience burst into laughter, it was so funny.
"It is very dangerous. I think it is best to hand it over to the state to reassure people..."
Chen Mubai immediately refused: "Impossible."
"I am Iron Man. I and the armor are one. Handing over Iron Man means handing over myself."
Then, another person came to the stage to give a speech. He was the villain in the play, calling on people to resist with the righteousness and the dangers that people may suffer.
In this scene, Chen Mubai performed Downey's expression to perfection.
He always maintained a disdainful attitude on his face and did not take them seriously.
At the same time, his tone is humorous, he always makes fun of those who target him, and he gives a powerful reply, which wins the favor and support of the people present.
Although it was not easy to shoot the movie "Iron Man", any science fiction work requires a lot of preparation and complicated work.
But the filming process was very joyful, because the film itself has elements of comedy, and the employees often laughed when they saw the actors acting live, some from their lines and some from their actions.
For example, when Tao Yaoyao appeared on the stage, she only wore simple clothes but was still very beautiful.
Then when Downey and Pei Bo competed for assistants, there were scenes of jealousy, real girlfriend VS next girlfriend?
Needless to say, Chen Mubai's acting skills are excellent. The two female characters are also very good. They look funny and full of intrigue.
During the filming of this movie, everyone was actually under pressure, not just the actors, but everyone on the crew.
The main reason is that "Iron Man" was too successful, and it certainly can't be too bad as a sequel.
The actors hope to contribute their best acting skills to improve the quality of the work. Everyone works very hard just to give wonderful performances.
Although the other members of the crew seem to have nothing to do with this matter, they filmed the previous work and naturally hope that this work will be equally good so as not to seem to be holding back.
They are now a very strong crew and have shot many excellent works, so after gaining the halo of glory, their requirements for themselves will become higher.
Just like an exam, after getting 80 points, you will no longer think about getting 60 points. Your expectations are different, so your inner needs are also different, and you will be more concerned about the evaluation of the outside world.
...
After Chen Mubai filmed "Iron Man 2", all his energy was devoted to this work.
As director and lead actor, he manages the entire crew as well as the method and content of filming.
During this period, he heard nothing outside the window.
Mubai Entertainment has a lot of moves going on, and one work after another is being released one after another.
The first thing to be released is the movie "Thor".
As a god in Western mythology, he came to earth.
Solomon and Mubai Entertainment jointly promoted this drama, so the momentum was very huge.
It has to be said that Solomon is an established giant after all, and he has the foundation and resources that Mubai Entertainment cannot ignore. This movie has also become the one with the greatest publicity among all Mubai Entertainment's works!
European and American audiences are very interested in this movie, not only because of the formation of the superhero series, but also because the heroes in this movie are figures from their culture, so they will naturally be more approachable.
This is the same for people from any country. They will be more interested in elements of their own culture.
The screening rate of "Thor" can be seen from the screenings of theaters in various countries around the world. In Southeast Asian countries, the screening rate of this movie is lower than that in European and American countries. This is because of the differences caused by the popularity and topics in different places.
However, this movie is still a well-deserved masterpiece, and it is the most popular existence in its time period. There are very few opponents who meet head-on, and even if they do, they are not on the same day, but several days apart, staggering the most powerful time.
The plot of "Thor" is very simple. He is the favored man of heaven. He is a very powerful being from his birth to his strength. This experience has created a different mentality from ordinary people, and he has become conceited and proud.
Thor can be said to be the normal demeanor of those superheroes. They have super strength and can despise all existences. Will their actions be restricted by others?
It's difficult, and they rely more on self-discipline. Human laws cannot restrict them, only their own hearts can restrict them.
Therefore, Thor is actually the epitome of this type of superhero, proud, powerful, conceited and arrogant.
This was the God of Thunder at the beginning. He was no longer willing to listen to dissuasion, so he was kicked out of the divine world by his father Odin and came to the earth.
This is Odin's punishment and a test to see if he can withstand the test and become a true god. Only when Thor understands the meaning of a hero will he regain the recognition of Thor's hammer and return to heaven with divine power.
Odin has two children, one is Thor's brother Loki, but he is not his biological child, but a child picked up from the race that was defeated by Odin. He is Odin's adopted son.
He has been working hard to gain Odin's approval and want to inherit the throne of God. He is still worried about his father's desire to pass the throne to Thor, so when he learned that Thor was demoted to the mortal world, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Thor in order to
Inherit the throne.
The hardships in the human world made Thor realize that his previous arrogant and arrogant character was wrong. A hero does not have strong power, but is recognized and loved by the people, which is the real hero.
Here, he gained a lot and made a human girlfriend. Finally, he was recognized by Thor's hammer and returned to the divine world.
This movie can be regarded as an analysis of superheroes. Every movie has a theme. This is the atmosphere specially created by Chen Mubai. "Spider-Man" is about the mentality change of young high school students after they obtain extraordinary powers, from thoughts to behaviors.
I finally realized the difference.
The main purpose of the first part is to examine oneself, including the introduction of the heroes and their background, which is a foreshadowing and tells the source of power and their lives after gaining these powers.
Lu Fang looked at the box office data of "Thor" on the first day of its release and looked quite satisfied.
"The expectations of the Chinese market were a bit off, but not by much and acceptable. It seems that people don't particularly like the Western mythological background."
"The results were within expectations."
Lu Fang and Bruce Lee communicated on the phone.
"It's a good start. Let's see how the response to "The Incredible Hulk" is." Bruce Lee said.
Lu Fang said: "Yes, the first part made a good start to pave the way for the follow-up. As long as the data is not too bad, the impact of the sequel should be greater and the data will be better."
"Among these heroes, the last completed production should be "Spider-Man". It should be almost ready for release during the National Day holiday. By then, the publicity and distribution resources will be left to promote it."
After "Spider-Man" is released, all the superheroes in the first phase will be unveiled, and then the production of "Avengers" will officially begin.
There was an Easter egg left in the first part of this movie to link up with "Iron Man", so it can barely be regarded as related to "Avengers". Like "Ant-Man", it is still in the preparation stage, waiting for "Avengers"
》Bounded after its release.
The first-day data of "Thor" was not as good as "Captain China" and "Iron Man". This was the result that was envisaged when it was released.
Because Chen Mubai did not participate in the production of this film, apart from contributing a script, he participated in the final editing. All other aspects were completed by Solomon and Mubai Entertainment.
Although the same is true for "Captain of China", the name of this movie is the best publicity, and naturally it is the most popular in China. After all, the name is obviously aimed at Chinese soldiers.
Likewise, this movie's overseas numbers were even worse than those of "Thor". This is due to differences in regional culture.
When the movie was finally released from theaters, it grossed US$800 million at the global box office, making it a blockbuster hit.
This is the first superhero work jointly produced by Mubai Entertainment and Solomon. Judging from the box office and word-of-mouth response, it is pretty good. This is enough to show that the superhero IP has been successful!
It also shows the feasibility of this approach, which has increased the enthusiasm of other companies for superheroes. Everyone has extended an olive branch to Mubai Entertainment and wants to seek cooperation.
After all, if you can cooperate with Solomon, you can also cooperate with others, right?
Behind the success of "Thor" is the infighting of film and television companies, who all want to get involved in superhero IP.
You can get such data for your first work. As long as you can cooperate, you will definitely make a lot of money!
Subsequently, the data after the release of "The Incredible Hulk" was also very good, which further confirmed the audience's love for this IP, and also meant that the superhero universe was officially formed!
