After the press conference, the project of "Avengers 2" once again flooded the screen.
The entire Internet is discussing this movie, foreign news media are also reporting this news, and netizens around the world are discussing this matter.
As the sequel to "Avengers", this work itself has received too much attention and even glory.
After all, the first movie was so popular, the quality and reputation were not bad, the box office exploded, and it even set a series of box office records. The global box office is second only to "Titanic", and this is a real commercial movie!
The filming method of this film is actually a structure that many directors are studying, because this film is a typical commercial film, from the continuation of the story to the structure, it is a very typical work.
The origin, context, climax, and ending of the story are all strictly controlled, so that people will not feel too bored while watching. It will always provide a wave of rhythm when the plot is foreshadowing, stimulating the audience's excitement for watching the movie.
.
The movie "Titanic" is actually more literary and artistic. It is very unexpected to achieve such a high box office, and it is not replicable. However, "Avengers" is actually replicable to a certain extent.
The presence.
It can be said that if someone makes a work with similar quality to "Titanic", it may not be able to get such a high box office, but if it can make a work with a similar structure to "Avengers"
, the box office will definitely not be bad.
Because "Titanic" has so many factors, this movie made history. It is also the only love movie with such a large investment. The movie itself has many topical elements, not to mention the director and starring.
It’s Chen Mubai, a person who never lacks topics and traffic.
According to the current market analysis, science fiction movies like "Avengers" have a larger market audience. The combination of special effects, rhythm and visual effects is the most typical popcorn movie, which can make the audience feel happy during the movie watching.
"Titanic" is actually a bit heavy. This is determined by the type of movie. Romance movies are actually very niche but also very popular, because the subject matter is too broad and ancient. If it is shot according to the routine, it will definitely be difficult to produce something particularly eye-catching.
score.
But Chen Mubai added other elements, which changed the movie. It is no longer a simple love movie. Coupled with the strong support of Chinese audiences, the quality of this movie is also very outstanding, which is why it has achieved such good results.
Every factor has given so much blessing to the movie, and it is a miracle that is difficult to replicate.
...
It's very lively outside, and the crew has already started filming.
The actors gathered together to discuss the shooting plan.
"Director Chen, is "Iron Man 3" really the last one?" Chris asked.
"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded.
"What a pity..." Edward said with some regret.
"This character is very popular and we like it too~"
Chris then smiled and said: "Fortunately, although we can't see "Iron Man" anymore, we can still see Iron Man."
"Yes, it can be considered a blessing among misfortunes." Edward nodded.
Seeing the two of them acting like living treasures, everyone laughed.
"It's no use trying to get close to me." Chen Mubai deliberately said with a straight face: "I will still show no mercy during the filming, so don't be lazy."
"You discovered it..." The two of them cooperated with Chen Mubai and shrugged.
"Looks like we can't be lazy anymore."
After this interruption, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
In fact, this kind of atmosphere is conducive to the filming of the work. After all, this work is positioned as a relaxed and humorous science fiction movie. The better the relationship between the actors, the better it will be reflected in the work.
In fact, they have different views on Chen Mubai finishing "Iron Man".
Some people think that Chen Mubai is very decisive, while others think that this is only temporary, and he will definitely continue to pull him out of the situation in the future. There have been many similar situations in the past, and the final result was without exception.
There are many IPs that were once popular. Even when it was promoted, it was definitely the last work. As a result, sequels appeared within a few years and continued to make money. They think this may be a publicity strategy of Chen Mubai, which can increase the traffic of the work greatly.
.
Although the traffic and popularity of Chen Mubai and "Avengers" are already very high, who wouldn't want higher traffic?
A lot of people don't believe that such a profitable IP should just give up.
Everyone in the industry is skeptical about Chen Mubai's decision. Only those who really know Chen Mubai know that what he said is true.
Of course, conspiracy theories have always existed, and it is unrealistic to expect others to believe it. Even if someone explains to Chen Mubai, no one will believe it. In the eyes of capital, interests are the most important.
The advantage of doing this is that it can make money and at the same time absorb a wave of emotions from the audience.
Now, what is most important?
Of course it is feelings. What is the purpose of countless people remembering their youth?
It's about regret, about retrieving the lost years and the things we did at that age, and many film and television works use this mentality to win the audience's favor.
The same is true for IPs that have been popular in the past. After all, after watching them, if you see a work related to this IP after a few years, you will still be willing to pay for it. No matter whether the film is good or bad, this is the feeling.
A few people discussed what they wanted to shoot for a while, and then they started shooting.
"Remember, you are friends now. Now is the time to enjoy the cocktail party. Relax and show that comfortable state. Although you are Avengers, you are also human beings." Chen Mubai finally warned.
The point of the upcoming filming is that the Avengers sit together and talk loudly. Everyone enhances their relationship with each other and gets closer. It can also be regarded as a celebration banquet.
Filming begins.
The actors were all sitting on the sofa in comfortable postures, holding wine glasses and food.
"Stop it, buddy, it's all a lie." Hawkeye Clinton laughed and said.
They were talking about the hammer of Thor, the God of Thunder. Thor said that they could not even lift the hammer, and they did not believe it.
In fact, as the most capable human beings on the planet, they naturally do not underestimate their own strength. They have strong confidence in themselves and naturally do not feel that they cannot lift a hammer.
Thor smiled and shook his head, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal them to lift the hammer: "Then do it."
"Really?"
"certainly."
Clinton was the first to put down his things, stood up from the sofa, walked to the hammer on the table, and began to lift it.
"Come on, Downey." Clinton looked at Downey and said, "You must give it a try."
"Okay." Donnie also walked over.
"If I can lift it up, can I rule Asgard?"
Sol smiled and said: "Yes."
Downey tried hard but failed to lift it.
"Hold on."
So, he was going to give it a try with his steel suit.
However, the result did not change at all. Even though he was wearing a battle suit, he still couldn't lift it.
Even his best friend wearing a battle suit couldn't help him. The hammer was like a huge force.
In the end, it was the Chinese captain who gave it a try.
Although he did not lift the hammer, he did make the hammer shake. This also made Thor, who had always believed that no one had lifted the hammer, change his expression, and the smile that had always been on his face disappeared.
When Roger said he couldn't lift it, Sol seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled again.
Black Widow Roman gave up trying.
When Thor saw that no one could lift the hammer, he picked it up and said with a smile: "It's because you are not qualified."
"Click!"
"Very good, everyone performed well, next game."
A simple literary drama passed like this. Everyone expressed themselves in this scene according to the character of the character, and they had a lot of fun.
In reality, the relationship between the actors is also very good, and they often go out to eat and party together in private. This kind of scenario is not difficult for them.
Although Qian Duoduo, Chris and others are not from the same country, they are all actors. This situation is very normal. As long as they have the same taste, they will naturally become close.
"So, to lift Thor's hammer, you need to gain its approval?"
After filming this scene, the actors were very interested in the plot.
"Yes." Chen Mubai replied when asked by everyone.
“So what does it take to get recognition?”
Before Chen Mubai could speak, Chris said: "Only those who have justice and a pure heart can be lifted up."
He is the actor who plays Thor, so he naturally knows about this. In "Thor 1", he was exiled by Odin and lost the qualification to lift the hammer. Later, he regained the recognition of Thor's hammer and regained it.
Raised the hammer.
"No wonder, although we call ourselves heroes, in the end we are all human beings with all kinds of desires, so it is difficult to get the recognition of Quake." Someone sighed, and understood the significance of this plot setting.
As long as you are a human being, you will have seven emotions and six desires. If you have distracting thoughts in your heart, you will definitely not be able to lift the hammer.
If Black Widow doesn't try, it's because she is an agent. This kind of person has the most thoughts and is not qualified.
She probably knew that she couldn't lift it, so she didn't go, which is also in line with her behavior.
"Then why can Captain Huaxia shake it?" Chris was a little curious: "Director Chen, tell us, can he lift it up?"
Without waiting for Chen Mubai's answer, Qian Duoduo shook his head and denied: "No, when I was filming this plot, I specifically asked if I could lift it, but I had to pretend that I couldn't. He told me no, it was really a lift.
Can’t get up.”
"Oh." Everyone nodded, believing this answer.
The relationship between Chen Mubai and Qian Duoduo is so close. Since they said so, it must be true.
Chen Mubai said nothing and showed a meaningful smile.
In fact, the Chinese captain can be lifted. In this plot, he pretended not to be able to lift it. This was to give Thor a chance to show off and to give him face.
However, the answer Chen Mubai told Qian Duoduo was to make him feel that he really couldn't lift it, so that when acting, there would be such a hint, making the matter more realistic.
If Qian Duoduo is told the answer and he knows that he can lift it but pretends that he can't lift it during the performance, he will deliberately perform to achieve this result.
In fact, there was still a trace of acting, and he directly told him that he couldn't lift it. He thought that if he really couldn't lift it, there would be no trace of it, and the acting would be more real in comparison.
The best performance is to deceive even yourself. Chen Mubai used this answer to deceive Qian Duoduo and let him deceive himself.
...
One year has passed and "Avengers 2" is about to be released.
This movie took a full year from project establishment to production. Compared to other movies, this speed is very fast, but compared to Mubai Entertainment, this speed is normal.
Every movie is willing to spend money, so the production speed and efficiency will be much faster, and the film production cycle will be shorter.
The hot superheroes are gathering again, and this movie is still the undisputed king of the schedule, even taking 50% of the movie schedule during the Spring Festival!
Mainly, after many films learned that "Avengers 2" was scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, everyone announced that it would be withdrawn, and they were unwilling to confront it head-on.
There are also some film producers who have guessed in advance that Mubai Entertainment will not miss the Spring Festival release, and deliberately avoid them and advance or postpone the release.
Therefore, the Spring Festival schedule has become much emptier. Basically, except for the blockbuster "Avengers 2", the rest are comedies.
As long as there is no conflict between genres, the market prospects of comedy are not small during this festival. They can drink some soup. In addition, there are fewer other competitors, so they can also drink some soup.
"I've been waiting for you again, happy!"
"After waiting for a year, I can finally watch it~"
"The second hero-gathering movie, I'm looking forward to it very much."
"The last part was a battle with creatures from outer space. I don't know if this part will be them attacking the earth again." Some people are speculating on the plot of "Avengers 2".
Everyone sat in the theater and watched the movie.
"Avengers 2" tells the story of Downey creating an Iron Man Legion so that mankind can resist the army from outer space.
All armors are controlled by his artificial intelligence Jarvis, and no one needs to go in to control it. Just a computer can remotely control it. This also inherits his research and development results in "Iron Man 3".
Because of his idea, a disaster occurred.
When everyone saw the familiar Downey talking and laughing in the movie, everyone smiled.
"Finally I saw Donnie again~"
"Like Iron Man..."
At the beginning of watching the movie, everyone was very excited and very happy when they saw the content.
Soon, the scene of people lifting hammers came to light, and the audience burst into laughter.
"Sure enough, not everyone can lift Mjolnir!"
"Absolutely. Thor's hammer is extremely powerful. If anyone can lift it, then there will be a problem."
"Even Thor couldn't lift the hammer~"
However, everyone was a little surprised when they saw Roger shaking the hammer.
"Is he okay?"
"Perhaps he can really do it?"
"Sure enough, he still can't lift it..."
While everyone was enjoying themselves, Ultron, developed by Downey, came out and interrupted them.
It was originally an artificial intelligence robot used to protect the earth, but it turned out to have its own thoughts. He believed that humans were the most threatening existence to the earth, so he wanted to destroy all humans.
When Ultron appeared, he also killed Jarvis.
Here, the Avengers quarreled again, and Downey stated his original intention of creating Ultron.
Everything stems from the inequality of strength. Compared with the alien army, the earth is too weak. That's why he wanted to rely on Ultron to protect the earth, but he was betrayed.
Ultron escaped from China and found two helpers. They were both humans with extraordinary abilities and humans who hated Downey.
Downey used the Mind Stone to resurrect Jarvis, and at the same time he became a living person called Huanshi.
They fought against Ultron together, and at the last moment instigated Ultron's helpers to rebel, and finally defeated Ultron.
The fighting scenes in this movie are even better than the first one, and the rhythm is stronger, making the audience hooked.
Especially the battle between Downey and the Hulk is even more exciting.
The audience has to admire Downey's extraordinary talent. He can also develop the Hulkbuster armor to deal with such a powerful Hulk. What's even more amazing is that two other superpowers have joined the Avengers.
this organization.
One is chaos magic and has the ability to create illusions, and the other fantasy world has the power of the Mind Stone and is extremely powerful.
Two and three battles allowed the audience to see the ultimate special effects and feel the visual shock.
"So lovely!"
"Bravo!"
"I don't know why, but the enemies in the first and second movies are trying to dismantle the Avengers organization from within. Will the same be true in the third movie?"
"I have a hunch that it failed to cause them to fight among themselves twice. Will it succeed the third time?"
"The Hulk was taken away by a plane and flew to the universe. How can he get it back? I like this green and cute giant very much~"
"Hulk looked so pitiful. He looked depressed at the end. He knew that his madness had bad consequences and was not liked by humans, so he chose to go into self-exile..."
"There will be linkages between each work. If you want to know the follow-up, you will definitely be able to find out in other works, so don't worry."
Netizens are discussing the plot of "Avengers 2" online.
I have to say that Chen Mubai knows very well what the audience wants to see. Whether it is characters or battle scenes, this movie has enough, and the audience likes to watch it very much.
Therefore, if the movie has good reviews and the quality is online, the box office and popularity will naturally not be low.
"Avengers 2" has actually paved the way for several movies, and it also laid the groundwork for the third one.
A new hero was introduced, and the origin of the material vibranium was also named. The new hero "Black Panther" is about to appear.
This time, although the Avengers did not successfully split within themselves, it was not considered a failure. In fact, they still had ideological differences.
Since Downey returned to a normal life from "Iron Man 3", his thoughts have become more inclined to ordinary people, and he is no longer as proud and conceited as before.
He began to worry and fear, and no longer like the ending of "Iron Man 1", he could confidently tell the world that he could protect them because he was Iron Man.
In this movie, it was because of his inner anxiety that he created Ultron, which also brought about a crisis.
In fact, this is also a disguised explanation that superheroes are also humans, not gods, and have seven emotions and six desires. The scene of lifting the hammer also hints at this truth.
Downey becomes more and more rational, and also more humane, which pave the way for "Captain China 3", in which he will break with Captain China on the side of mankind.
The Avengers officially split into two teams!
However, the filming plan for this movie has not yet started.
However, the actors have received notice in advance that they will appear together in "Captain China 3".
This is also the only work that is not in the "Avengers" series but has all the members appearing!
This made Qian Duoduo very surprised, but also very happy.
After all, this is his personal movie. According to the popularity of "Avengers", it can be predicted that the box office performance of "Captain China 3" will definitely be very high, and it will even become his highest personal movie (personal movie).
Although like "Avengers", this movie is a group drama, but the title is "Captain China", which can be regarded as his personal work.
"This special effect is really amazing." Lu Fang also watched "Avengers 2" and was amazed by the special effects fighting in the picture.
“That’s it for the world’s top special effects level.”
"However, it is really a waste of money." Li Feng said.
"Indeed, the production cost is too high." Lu Fang agreed.
Originally, the special effects shots of this drama were extremely expensive, and they spent even more money in order to speed up the production time.
But compared to the profit of this movie, everything is worth it.
Not only does it make a lot of money at the box office, this IP is also very popular, and it is all supported by the influence of a movie. The peripherals, toys, and dolls produced by the movie are also profitable, and these are all copyrighted.
The sales of toys such as Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man are very hot, and they make huge profits every year.
The sales of toys are booming due to the popularity of movies. Mubai Entertainment maintains the release of several superhero movies every year, and works will appear in every major period, just to maintain this popularity and make the topic of superstars unstoppable.
, in order to improve the impact of this IP.
In fact, since the success of superheroes, this strategic plan has been very successful. In just a few years, the superhero universe has become the most profitable IP and the most influential IP currently!
"How much is the box office of this movie now?" Li Feng asked.
Lu Fang glanced at Chen Mubai and said with a smile: "The movie has been released for two weeks, with a global box office of 1.4 billion U.S. dollars. It is expected to reach around 2 billion U.S. dollars, which may break the record of "Titanic"."
"Mainly, this movie has more battle scenes than the previous one. The battle between the Hulk and the Hulk attracted a lot of people's curiosity in the trailer. The Hulkbuster armor is very domineering. The battle scenes between the two are extremely fierce and there are many
One of the viewers’ favorite scenes.”
Li Feng agreed: "I enjoyed watching it. The rebellion of the artificial intelligence Ultron is also interesting. Knowing all the information, he concluded based on his own calculations that humans are the biggest threat to the earth. It is surprising. War since ancient times
In fact, it is all a kind of robbery, and there will always be a struggle."
There are indeed many fighting scenes in "Avengers 2". Not to mention the final battle, which directly shattered a city. Even before the decisive battle, there were several fierce battles, and the scene was very burning.
Ultron, a conscious artificial intelligence, was originally created to protect mankind, but in the end it wanted to exterminate mankind, which is also very dramatic.
There are a lot of science fiction movies with this theme, so there is nothing surprising about this idea. It's just that he wants to evolve into human beings. This setting is quite novel.
In previous works, robots basically exterminated humans in order not to be controlled by humans after having minds, and then started a war. There was no robot that wanted to become a human. This is actually a novel setting, implying that humans have evolved.
product.
Since time immemorial, human beings have been evolving, slowly becoming the top of the food chain and the master of the earth, which can be regarded as a logical shooting setting.
"I have a hunch that "Avengers 3" will do better. The results of the first two films are great. With the blessing of the previous films and the addition of new heroes, the audience will become more and more interested." Lu Fang said excitedly.
Chen Mubai smiled and said: "Yes, but before that, the Avengers need to split."
"What do you mean?" Qian Duoduo asked in confusion when he heard this.
"The Avengers team has been splitting up in the movie, so the split was successful in the third movie?" Lu Fang said calmly.
"yes."
"I didn't expect that I didn't succeed twice, but I finally succeeded." Li Feng sighed.
It is easy to understand. Although every disagreement within the team is not resolved in the end, it is because there are external factors and everyone can unite to deal with the outside world.
This conflict seems to have passed, but what happened has happened. It is like a thorn stuck in the bottom of my heart. Even if it is taken out, there will still be scars. If it happens too many times, it will still break out.
"Alien plan?"
"No, it's a problem inside the earth."
"How will this team be divided into each other? Will they fight on their own?"
"They are divided into two groups. You should have seen that Donnie's character has been changing. He slowly began to waver and tend to live a normal life. After he got together with Pepper, he considered more things, so he thought about things.
More humane, that’s one reason.”
Chen Mubai saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he continued: "Although the crisis in "Avengers 2" has been resolved, it has just begun. A city was destroyed. The robot created by Downey brought huge challenges to mankind.
Crisis, this incident has had great repercussions internationally. Although they are heroes for solving the problem, they are the ones who caused the trouble."
“What do those who lived through the disaster and those who died think?”
"They will accuse and hate the Avengers." Lu Fang replied.
"Think about it for a moment, those innocent people did suffer an unreasonable disaster. Although Downey and his team saved them, the culprit of this incident was actually Downey and his team. This is different from the last time an alien army came to the earth. People estimate
Instead of being grateful, I will be angry." Li Feng sighed.
"Yes, so this is a contradictory point. The Avengers clearly know the cause of the matter, and they also have different views, and they have once again gone to the opposite side."
Chen Mubai nodded and said: "Also, every movie is connected. What is the reason for Ultron's rebellion?"
"Because of consciousness?"
"Based on big data analysis, the most disasters on the earth are caused by wars, and this is exactly the beginning of human beings plundering resources?"
Several people were guessing.
"It's Hydra!" Qian Duoduo suddenly shouted.
"Downey's original intention of creating Ultron was because he saw Hydra's robots, and the predecessor of Hydra contributed to the cause of World War II. They have deeply penetrated society and have been carrying out some kind of conspiracy. Roger
My friends didn’t die either!”
Chen Mubai looked at Qian Duoduo and said with a smile: "That's right, what happened this time is that Hydra will also cause the Avengers organization to split. They clearly know that the Avengers have the ability to disintegrate them. This is what "Captain China 3" means.
