Heads Up Hollywood

The hottest time at the Hollywood box office is summer, followed by Christmas.

Movies with large investment usually choose to be released in these two schedules. Although the competition is fierce, the probability of making money is also the highest.

However, Marvel is different.

The current Marvel Pictures is very confident!

As far as the commercial blockbusters produced by Marvel Pictures, they don't need to rely on the momentum of summer and Christmas files to make money.

With the foreshadowing of films such as "Spider-Man", "Ant-Man", "Daredevil", "Ghost Rider", and "Iron Man", the current Marvel movies can be released in the off-season at the box office!

Last time, "Ant-Man" was released at the end of October, and the release schedule was half in the off-season and half in the hot season. As a result, the film grossed US$200 million in North America, US$310 million overseas, and a total of US$510 million worldwide.

Good grades.

This time, "Ant-Man 2" is more confident, and the release date has been advanced to October 5th!

This is to really hit the box office off-season in October!

There is no way, there are too many big-investment movies under New Universal, and they must be distributed reasonably.

In early November, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be screened grandly.

At the end of November, Pixar's cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" will be released, and in mid-December... Peter Jackson's latest masterpiece "King Kong" will make its debut.

With such a crowded film schedule, the schedule of the movie "Ant-Man and the Wasp" can only be premised.

Who told this is a Marvel movie!

The stronger you are, the more responsibility you have to take on.

In the tense and cold atmosphere of Hollywood, "Ant-Man 2" was released.

Outside fans are obviously not affected by what happened in Hollywood recently, just like in the past, they have given the greatest support to Marvel's superhero movies.

"Ant-Man 2" has a lot to watch!

Because a real Marvel female superhero appeared here——Wasp Girl!

The big poster of Rose Byrne, who played the role of "The Wasp", is plastered in every movie theater in the United States. There is only one word to describe this Australian actress, and that is beautiful!

Absolute beauty!

Last year, DC produced a female superhero movie called "Catwoman." Casting a black actress as the leading role became the biggest laughing stock in the world.

In contrast, Marvel's choice is too clever.

With the plot of "Ant-Man 1" and the accumulation of fans, as long as the quality of "Ant-Man 2" is not too bad, the box office will definitely increase.

The film was released for 4 days in the first week, and the box office in North America successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars!

Although it can't be compared with movies like "Spiderman" and "Iron Man", compared with ordinary commercial blockbusters, this achievement is already dazzling enough.

According to this box office trend, the North American box office of "Ant-Man 2" will reach between 250-280 million US dollars! Compared with "Ant-Man 1", there is a substantial increase!

This is success!

Inside Marvel Pictures, it was naturally a grand occasion, singing and carnival.

Because of Nina Jacobson's pregnancy and Twain's support, the current power of Marvel has fallen into the hands of Kevin Feizi. It won't take long for him to become a veritable CEO.

The movie "Ant-Man 2", from post-production to announcement and release, was written by Kevin Feizi.

Now that the movie is a success, he is naturally very happy.

Not only him, every employee of Marvel Studios is very happy.

This is completely different from the haze weather inside Hollywood.

However, after all, this is a major event that has caused a sensation in Hollywood, and there must be some internal worries and fluctuations in people's hearts.

"I've already said, what's going on outside has nothing to do with us! This is Marvel Studios, and we have the biggest support from the big boss! Hollywood is down, and we will all be safe and sound! We have to give more and more exciting things to fans What about the movie!"

In internal meetings, Kevin Feizi's attitude was very high-profile.

It even went against the highest decision of the Ministry of Film and Television Entertainment.

In this matter, Bill McNick is very cautious, forbids his film company to express its position on this matter, and spends this time in a low-key manner.

The situation is critical!

Hollywood's Big Five alliance did not directly admit defeat as Bill McNick and others imagined. Instead, it showed a very urgent attitude and formed a confrontation with New Universal.

The current situation is tense and full of gunpowder.

If anyone accidentally misfires a gun, there will be a big explosion in Hollywood, and it will be out of control.

So Bill McNick has ordered, be careful! Be careful what you say and do!

But Kevin Feige didn't care.

He only cared about Tang En's thoughts, and he was only responsible to Tang En.

With the achievements of Marvel Pictures... the CEO of the mere film and television entertainment department can't control him! He is qualified to report directly to Dunn, and does not need to be responsible to Bill McNick.

Especially when "Ant-Man 2" is doing well at the box office, Kevin Feige doesn't care.

He is very young, and has no relationship with this century-old Hollywood at all, and if he is ruined, he will be ruined.

Maybe Boss Twain's wrath led to a mass extinction war, and the remaining Marvel Studios could live better.

"Disney, Warner Brothers, Fox, and Columbia are all bullshit! Let alone comparing with our entire group, can we compare with our Marvel Studios? Haha, our Marvel releases three movies a year, and the global box office Nearly 2 billion US dollars! Of course, the box office data may not be higher than those giants, but our return rate is high! The profit is huge! Marvel Pictures has a net profit of at least 1 billion US dollars a year! Let me ask the five giants, which one of the film business can make a net profit? Making a billion dollars? Not a single one!"

In fact, there are still, and Warner Bros. can definitely make $1 billion a year.

But there is no need to put more gold on the opponent's face. It is a common trick to belittle the opponent and promote yourself.

Kevin Feizi's remarks obviously gave the employees of Marvel Studios a reassurance, and they burst out laughing in the conference room.

indeed so.

Other filmmakers need to be nervous, does Marvel still need to be nervous? Full of confidence!

Kevin Feige knows that everyone is worried by all kinds of rumors in Hollywood recently, this is not okay. He also expects that everyone will continue to struggle with passion and create more movies. Among other things, the new film "Captain America" ​​will start shooting, and then there will be "Iron Man 2" project to be launched.

Others can mess up, but Marvel can't.

Fortunately, his words had the necessary effect.

Kevin Feizi continued: "Isn't it the Big Five alliance? What's the big deal? It's just a mob! We are Marvel, and we have experience. Thinking about Marvel Entertainment a few years ago, it's almost the same as the current situation. Exactly the same!"

That year, after the two movies "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" were sold well, the sales of Marvel's comics soared rapidly, seriously threatening the position of DC, the industry leader.

Movies have the rating committee of the MPAA, and comics also have the Comic Standards Authority, which are all "grading" institutions.

At that time, DC Comics dominated the Comic Guidelines Authority, together with a group of people, began to create obstacles for Marvel comics, and successively refused to approve multiple issues of Marvel comics on the grounds that they contained strong violent images.

At that time, many big cartoonists in Marvel were very angry, but they didn't want to back down, so they reported it to Twain.

Tang En was also furious upon hearing this, and immediately made a decision that Marvel Entertainment would withdraw from the Comic Standards Administration immediately!

Marvel Entertainment is self-reliant, playing with itself, and will not be with you!

Next, Marvel came up with a set of Marvel rating mechanism, and then self-assessed and sold, and the sales volume did not decrease. Not only that, but in the next few years, more comic companies successively withdrew from the Comic Standards Administration, and stood with Marvel Entertainment, using the "Marvel Standard".

Up to now, the "Marvel Standards" led by Marvel Entertainment and the "Comic Guidelines" led by DC Entertainment have become the two major standards in the comics industry, showing a tendency of rivalry.

This is a living example!

Who said that New Universal must rely on MPAA? Do you have to obey the rating committee?

If it doesn't work out, then you might as well follow the example of Marvel Entertainment and break up with each other!

Exit directly!

New Universal has established its own "New Universal Film Standard". With the strength of New Universal, there is no way to kill it!

Kevin Feizi took the successful case of Marvel Entertainment as a model, and quickly won the hearts of the people, suppressing the restless atmosphere within Marvel Pictures.

It embodies the quality that a top leader should have.

...

Tang En was still on vacation, but this time he had already moved to Spain's Costa del Sol.

It is said that it is isolated from the world, but in fact it is still connected with the company.

Only outsiders are isolated.

That night, after Tang En favored Gal Gadot and Blake Lively, he received a report from Tosca Musk.

Describes the situation in Hollywood today.

The Big Five alliance was not intimidated, but intensified, and gave a very controversial classification decision to a movie under New Universal.

This time it is the animated film "Curious George" produced by Universal Pictures, which is adapted from the cartoon of the same name. It has a proper PG rating, and it is actually given PG-13!

Aim for the signs, don't be too obvious!

This isn't a compromise, it's about fighting Tang En to the end!

"Boss, why do I feel something is wrong? This time... they seem to be determined to fight to the end, and they seem to be going for real." Tosca Musk said worriedly.

Tang En came to the study, and said angrily: "If you want to be serious, you will be serious. Will I still be afraid of them? At worst, Hollywood will be completely smashed. I want to see, what can I do! I want to show power over my head Fortunate, impossible! If you want to act, I will act with them; if you want to exchange fire...then there will be a nuclear war!"

Tosca Musk sighed, "We have made too much money in the past two years, especially in the film industry, most of the profits have been made by us, and they are also forced to do nothing."

Tang En snorted coldly: "Now they can get at least 40% of the share! If they make a move, they won't be able to hold back... At that time, they won't even be able to earn a penny!"

"That would hurt us badly."

"You think I'd care about the loss?"

Tosca Musk shook his head and said: "You are the richest man, you don't care. But the film people in the Film and Television Entertainment Department care, Hollywood is their root. It is difficult for you to keep one mind with them on this matter. Even... …they will side with outsiders against you."
