"Is this really the last "Iron Man"?" Lu Fang was a little surprised.
"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded.
"You are the only one who has the confidence to say this." Lu Fang exhaled softly.
"Iron Man" is the most popular superhero, and its revenue is even greater than the two heroes "Captain China" and "Thor"!
Just give up. Not everyone can do it when faced with such huge benefits.
More people will choose to continue until the IP is ruined.
There are many movies like this in film history. The first two movies were good in all aspects, with good impact and profit. However, in order to make money, they forced the release of sequels, which caused the reputation of the entire IP to become bad.
Although the IP is gone, the money earned is real, including the impact of the works' sales and popularity.
Not to mention superheroes, currently the hottest IP, even Solomon's "Monsters" universe can only be defeated.
The IP held by Mubai Entertainment may be the top IP with the highest revenue in history. It is really rare to be able to maintain one's heart in the face of such huge interests.
Therefore, although it is the right thing for Chen Mubai to stop at this time, it will also shock people.
"This is a plan we had at the beginning of building the superhero universe," Chen Mubai said.
Lu Fang smiled: "Just make your decision, we will support you."
"I believe that even without this IP, we will still be able to make excellent movies in the future. Now that we are one of the best film and television companies in the world, we still have the confidence."
"Brother Lu is domineering!" Chen Mubai praised Lu Fang.
"So this is Downey's last work?" Lu Fang asked.
"This is not, it's just the last part of "Iron Man."" Chen Mubai answered for Lu Fang.
Every hero is a trilogy. "Iron Man" is the first and most popular work to start filming, and its current progress is also the fastest.
However, after the trilogy ends, Downey will appear in other works as a guest appearance. It's not that we won't see him anymore, it's just that there will no longer be independent movies.
"Let me just say, the response to "Avengers" has been very good, and the follow-up story has already unfolded, so why is there one less hero?" Lu Fang nodded.
"After this matter is announced, it will definitely cause a huge response, but it will also intensify the popularity of other works. Leave the media to me, and you can go and shoot the movie."
"Okay." Chen Mubai nodded.
The announcement of the final part of "Iron Man" will definitely arouse strong attention from all fans who like this series, and will also generate heated discussions.
The box office and popularity of this movie are also not low, not even worse than "The Avengers".
After all, it is the last "Iron Man", which will make people feel reluctant to leave it, and will make movie fans choose this movie to watch when watching the movie.
At the same time, fans also know that every hero will have a trilogy, so every time one is completed, it means the ending faced by a hero. Fans who like the characters will also feel sad, which will cause everyone to have a negative attitude towards each work. cherish and love.
"Avengers", as a work that can see all heroes, will also receive more attention.
For example, "Iron Man" is over, but Downey can be seen in "Avengers". Then the hearts of viewers who like "Iron Man" will naturally turn to this work and will be in other works.
Keep pursuing your favorite characters.
After Chen Mubai and Lu Fang communicated, Mubai Entertainment announced the new film press conference to the public and stated that this would be the last "Iron Man".
As expected, this news instantly detonated the Internet, and countless netizens joined in the heated discussion.
"Why is this the last one?"
"Oh no, I haven't seen enough yet..."
"Ten thousand people have written this book. I hope Chen Mubai can make a few more movies. No matter how many movies he makes, we will watch it!"
"Even if there is no armor or special effects, I can just sit in the theater and watch Downey babble for two hours~"
"I really wanted to watch "Iron Man 3", but I couldn't bear to watch it. I gave it up after watching it, and I felt conflicted."
"So, all heroes are trilogy, and other heroes are also soon..."
"It's a bit sad. I like every character, but the new heroes seem to be good. Is this their replacement?"
The new superheroes are "Ant-Man" and "Doctor Strange". The movie has not been officially shot yet, but the project has been announced and actors are being selected around the world, so die-hard fans know the new hero filming plan.
It is estimated that it will take about two years from casting to project establishment and filming, which is enough time for the remaining heroes to finish filming the rest of the plot.
The replacement of old and new heroes will be completed slowly under this situation. This is a plan that has been planned for a long time, but the public does not know it. This time, "Iron Man 3" made it known to the public for the first time.
.
Superheroes are now very influential around the world, so this news also caused shock abroad.
"Really? 'Iron Man' is the last one?"
"It seems that we need to enter the second phase of the superhero universe. No wonder some new heroes have been released."
"Although I miss them very much, I think the new heroes should be good as well, or have stronger abilities?"
"I like Downey played by Chen Mubai. I like this kind of nagging and interesting guy."
“Waiting for the ending of Iron Man, I don’t know what it will be like~”
At this point, all we can discuss is our love and admiration for "Iron Man".
At the movie press conference, Chen Mubai answered many questions about the movie and the heroic universe.
This movie tells what happened after "The Avengers". This time the crisis in the Magic City made Downey realize that the enemy in the universe is very powerful.
This time, they prevented the other party from coming, but it does not mean that the other party will not continue to invade the earth in the future, it just lasted for a while.
The opponent only sent down a few soldiers and already destroyed the city of Magic City a lot. Once all the soldiers arrived, it would probably be the end of the earth.
During this period of respite, Downey had been very anxious because he saw the strength of the enemy and the weakness of his own side. He began to desperately develop armor, hoping to enhance his own combat power.
This is the general content of the third part, which still adds a villain, who creates a terrorist attack to declare war on Downey and injures his bodyguard as a provocation.
Downey's home was also bombed, and he began to search for the person behind the scenes, hoping to find out the enemy.
All the crises put him in trouble, and Tony, who finally faced the crisis, realized that the most important thing was not his armor, but his unparalleled intelligence and his never-ending lover.
...
After several months of filming, the filming of "Iron Man 3" was officially completed.
"How does it feel?"
In a restaurant, Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao were dining.
Today is their date, and they are enjoying a sweet time.
"much better."
"That's good, hehe."
The filming of "Iron Man 3" has ended, which also means that the hero's personal movie has come to an end.
Chen Mubai, as the leading actor, was naturally very reluctant to part with it, especially since the role was very successful. How could the actor not empathize with the character?
Therefore, after the filming of the movie ended, Chen Mubai was not in a high mood and was a little sad.
Tao Yaoyao asked Chen Mubai to go out together to relax, hoping to wash away some of his complicated thoughts and prevent him from feeling too depressed.
"Speaking of which, I also feel that "Resident Evil" is coming to an end, and my role as Ellie will also come to an end." Tao Yaoyao lamented.
"Although the filming process was very difficult. I had to do a lot of exercise to stay in shape for this movie. I couldn't eat or drink indiscriminately, and I had to practice fighting skills. I suffered a lot of physical injuries. But when it was really about to end, I still had this feeling in my heart.
Reluctant to leave."
Chen Mubai nodded and said: "This is the fate and responsibility of an actor."
Since you want to play a role well, you must put in a lot of effort to understand and get close to the role. If you want the work to be successful, the leading actor also needs to do everything as well as possible. These are all the efforts behind the scenes.
Only if you do it all, then the quality of the movie will naturally not be bad, and the audience will identify with the character you created.
It is the actor's responsibility to play a role well, so when the work ends, the role played by the actor will also end. After a long period of hard work and empathy, when it really ends, it will naturally be sad.
Every role is a journey, and actors have to constantly experience different scenery during this process, which can be said to be fate.
"What are your expectations for this movie?" Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai and asked.
Chen Mubai shook his head: "I never thought that after this movie ends, Downey will be the real 'Iron Man', both physically and mentally."
"Yes, you really don't need to think about this." Tao Yaoyao said with a smile: "Anyway, with the popularity of Iron Man, the response of this movie will not be bad."
"I seem to have seen the voices of reluctance and reluctance to stay on the Internet after the movie was aired." Tao Yaoyao said with a smile.
"You said that after "Titanic" ended, netizens didn't seem to be so emotional, right?"
Chen Mubai burst out laughing: "After all, "Titanic" is one work, and "Iron Man" is three works. Plus guest appearances in other movies, everyone has longer and deeper contact with the characters, and naturally their emotions are deeper.
.”
"Yes, after all, I've been watching it for several years." Tao Yaoyao agreed.
"The next movie is "Avengers 2", right?"
"Um."
"I can appear with you again~" Tao Yaoyao said happily.
She likes making movies with Chen Mubai very much. The two can be together every day. For her, this is the simplest happiness.
"When will the filming start approximately?"
"After the new year, "Iron Man 3" will still be released during the Spring Festival."
This year, Chen Mubai was much more relaxed. His only task was to shoot "Iron Man 3", which was a rare break after all these years of hard work.
Therefore, after "Avengers" was released, he took a two-month break before filming "Iron Man 3" to ensure enough time for the film's post-production to be completed.
The Spring Festival release is also the fastest result. It is not available during the National Day and New Year's Day schedules, and other works are released during those schedules.
"Spider-Man 2" is a work released on the National Day holiday. This film once again has a plot linked to "Iron Man".
In Chen Mubai's script, at the end of the first part, Parker comes to China to visit the Tang Group and find out about his father's deeds.
Then he saw Downey. In fact, Downey was not Iron Man at that time, he was still a playboy and a gamer.
The timeline of "Spider-Man" is before "Iron Man"!
The reason why Downey glanced at Parker was because he thought the kid looked familiar, but he didn't think too much about it.
In fact, the reason why it looked familiar to him was that he had seen some of Parker's father's experimental results in the information left by his father.
Parker stayed in China for some days and found traces about his father. The reason why he was able to mutate and possess the ability of a spider was because he was given an injection by his father when he was a child.
His father was a biologist and participated in some research projects at the Tang Group. After the project ended, he continued to conduct scientific research in this direction, and finally invented a medicine, similar to Captain Huaxia's serum, but it was not effective.
Same.
The effect of this potion is to allow people to change their DNA. The triggering results are very harsh and require the person's body to be in a state of near-death. This research result was discovered and they wanted to get this scientific research result, but Parker's father did not want it.
Willing, so they kill Parker's parents.
They didn't know that Parker's father gave this experimental result to his son. In fact, his original intention was to hope that his son could grow up healthily, which would give him an extra life if he encountered fatal danger.
This is a father's love for his son. He did not give this medicine to himself, but to Parker.
When the spider bit Parker, it happened to trigger this rule, so Parker mastered extraordinary abilities.
In the process of searching for his father's traces, Parker felt his father's love and learned all the truth.
After returning to New York, what Parker did previously made him a people's hero in New York, and he has been punishing evil and promoting good, so he has many fans.
One of the ardent fans likes Parker very much. He himself is a member of the lower class and was marginalized at work. It was Parker who gave him the direction in life.
As a result, in an accident, he who was supposed to die also mutated, and his body and appearance changed.
At first he was scared, but then he became excited because he had always wanted to be like Spider-Man, so he wanted to imitate that.
But as a result, he was mistaken for a bad guy, and his ability was to absorb electricity. All the electricity in an area was absorbed by him, which made the government think that he did this deliberately and began to attack him.
So he fought back angrily, until he saw Spider-Man, and just wanted to say hello to him, but found that Spider-Man directly fought with him, because he caused certain casualties in the process of absorbing electricity and resisting the police.
Being beaten by someone he regarded as his idol made him even more angry, so he became a real villain. He wanted to kill Spider-Man so that no one would stop him. He thought he could also replace Spider-Man!
The plot of the story is not complicated. It links up with "Iron Man" to prepare for the future "Avengers", and at the same time explains Parker's identity and the cause of his mutation.
The special effects of this movie are excellent. The villain has the ability to control electricity. Although it is not lightning, it is almost the same. The fighting effects are outstanding and the visual effects are shocking.
At the end, Parker and Downey chatted about Parker's father. Parker learned a lot about his father's deeds from Downey. After all, there was information.
Downey knew that the child in front of him was one of the top scientists that his father had praised. He also wanted to know how much information about his father there was in the notes and materials left by Parker's father.
In fact, both of them hope to understand their fathers through each other.
The Easter egg of the movie is that a meteorite from the universe crashed down. Parker immediately went to investigate the movement, but was possessed by a layer of black material.
...
"Iron Man 3" is released.
The movie's various statistics are very good, not inferior to "Avengers", or even higher.
It also broke many records related to Chinese films and allowed Chen Mubai to see the enthusiasm of the audience.
While the audience is watching, it is understandable that Downey is anxious.
After the movie "Avengers", Downey was the closest to death, and he saw the strength of the outer space army, how could he not be anxious.
Therefore, he kept upgrading and developing armor, ignoring the feelings of the people around him.
Even activating the armor in her sleep made Pei Bo extremely angry because she couldn't let Donnie relax.
At the end of the movie, Downey made all the armors self-destruct, exploding brilliant sparks in the sky like fireworks and firecrackers. He was very handsome and domineering at the same time.
Downey underwent surgery to remove the energy source device on his chest. He no longer placed his faith on the energy source, was no longer so anxious and nervous, and became a normal person again.
He threw the chest reactor installed on himself on the ruins of his house toward the sea, and said to himself: "You can destroy my house, my car, and my armor, but you can't destroy the fact that I am steel.
Xia."
Iron Man has never been a weapon, but courage, IQ and love!
This ending actually sublimated Downey's state of mind, and he became a real "Iron Man"!
After the movie ended, the discussion about the movie on the Internet was also very intense and divided into two factions.
One party believes that Downey's last act was to give up his identity as Iron Man and return to an ordinary life.
"Donnie's mood changed, and he finally returned to Pepper's arms."
"From Pepper's point of view, everything she does is for Downey's good, and there is nothing wrong with her, but we definitely want to see Iron Man, so we don't like this character..."
"It's really over, and the answer has been given at the end."
""
The other side denies this statement. Downey's armor no longer relies on the reactor on his chest, and technology has advanced. The last unmanned armors are evidence of this.
No matter what, Downey is still the character that the audience loves!
The end of "Iron Man 3" also means the end of this hero's personal movie, and many viewers are reluctant to part with it.
In fact, this movie also prefers the description of personal emotions and psychology, weakening the contradictions and villains.
As a hero who saved mankind, Downey possesses super strength but is still anxious. This also shows that superheroes are also human beings. They also have their own worries and anxieties, which are even greater than ordinary people.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and Downey is obviously such a person.
In particular, he is still a very arrogant and conceited person. He will not put anything in his mouth, but he will keep it in his heart. He will keep working hard, which is why this result is achieved.
"I didn't expect that such a popular work like "Iron Man" would end like this." Zhao Ya felt a little sad after watching the movie.
Sun Dong comforted him: "He has returned to life. I think this ending is better. He is still the 'Iron Man', but he has become more humane."
"Besides, this is just the end of his personal film, and he will appear in other works. Chen Mubai said in the interview, and Mubai Entertainment is already preparing to shoot "Avengers 2"."
"Really?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
Sun Dong nodded: "Yes, when I was at work, a colleague told me that he liked the superhero series very much. He has watched every work and knows more about this aspect."
"Then I will wait for the release of "Avengers 2". I think it will be very nice to see these heroes gathered together." After Zhao Ya learned the news, she became excited again.
"Downey is labeled as a playboy, but I think he is really quite romantic. In the end, using the armor to turn into fireworks was so touching~"
This movie is very touching for women. Downey's behavior towards Pepper in the end is so romantic. As a top rich man and playboy, he is willing to give up so many things for Pepper and change himself. This is very rare.
things.
In particular, Downey has a very unique character and is a person who is difficult to change. This can be felt in the tit-for-tat confrontation with Chinese captain Roger in "The Avengers".
And for such a proud and arrogant person who is willing to change himself for his girlfriend, from a female perspective, isn’t this a great man?
In the eyes of male viewers, Downey has completed redemption. He has always been responsible and actively faced unknown enemies. What he did was normal, but he put too much responsibility on himself and was under too much pressure.
It led to psychological problems, but the problem was finally solved successfully. The armor also completed a qualitative change, and its own safety problems were also solved. It was a perfect ending.
The quality of "Iron Man 3" is not bad, and the topic and popularity are very high. The film finally won a global box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, second only to "The Avengers"!
As a result, the top three movies in the global box office rankings are all works by Chen Mubai, and he has made it all right!
Although the audience was reluctant to let go of the end of "Iron Man", they soon received another exciting news.
"Avengers 2" is about to start production, and everyone is gathering again!
The finished Iron Man Downey will once again take on the mantle of battle, which dilutes the audience's reluctance.
All the leading actors are also very excited. They have been waiting for the sequel of "Avengers" for more than a year, and they are finally starting production again!
With the popularity of "Avengers", each hero's personal movie has been affected to varying degrees. The data in all aspects is much better than before, and the actor's personal reputation has also increased accordingly.
Relying on this IP, their personal box office data has improved dramatically.
Every well-known star will have statistics on the movies he starred in, among which box office is a relatively important data.
The two solo superhero movies together have basically exceeded 1 billion US dollars, and "Avengers" together is close to 3 billion US dollars. This figure is extremely exaggerated!
In addition, they have also starred in some movies, so in terms of individual box office data, every actor who has won a superhero role has received a huge improvement.
The most important thing is that there will be more works to be launched in the future, and their box office still has a lot of room for growth. This once again allows capital to see the benefits and influence of Mubai Entertainment, a big IP.
This is just the impact of the work on individual stars, the ability to create stars is very powerful.
The profits from movies, peripheral products, and figures are even greater. The superhero series is the most profitable IP right now, bar none!
The main scope involved is too wide. It is not just one character and sequel. These intertwined lines are linked in various ways, so that each hero gets a lot of attention, which is a very difficult thing.
It can be said that this IP is the most successful IP in history!
Just like "Monsters", a globally popular IP, what is popular is the concept and image of monsters. On the contrary, it has limited impact on the male and female protagonists, and the audience's focus is also on the monsters.
It is difficult to link up this movie, so we can only rely on a single monster route.
No matter how popular this IP is, the impact it can achieve is limited, and the audience will experience aesthetic fatigue when the elements are too single, which is a limitation.
Far less than superheroes, the emergence of various heroes will allow everyone to see different roles and abilities, thus keeping it fresh.
Not every IP can be successful, but not every popular IP can achieve the impact of a superhero. This kind of interweaving of grass and snakes and gray lines allows all works to be linked together, which is very amazing.
These details and clues need to be slowly left out in each movie to foreshadow, which is not an ordinary difficulty.
With this IP, Chen Mubai's screenwriting talent is undoubtedly highlighted. He is not only the most successful director in the world, but also the most famous actor and the most talented screenwriter!
...
At the press conference of "Avengers 2", all the stars gathered together, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces.
Reporters can clearly see the smiles and good mood on their faces, and also know the reasons for their happiness.
After all, this movie will be an "epic masterpiece" and may even break some box office records again.
Everyone answered the reporters' questions heartily. Not only the reporters were looking forward to this work, but they, as the leading actors, were also looking forward to it.
