Chapter 1462 Daqian's first street movie

At the suggestion of Boss Jia, these hard-working researchers finally got a week off and could take a good rest. Our Boss Jia returned home as soon as possible and slept for a day and a night in one breath. After all, studying is a very hard thing.

And while Boss Jia is sleeping, the world is also constantly developing.

For example, "Fantastic Four", this movie that Marvel Lafayette has been tossing for a lot, has finally been released around the world.

First of all, the IP of Fantastic Four is itself the hottest superhero IP of Marvel and even the entire United States.

Some people may say that the most popular superhero in the United States should not be Iron Man, or Captain America, superheroes like Superman?

I haven't heard of the Fantastic Four!

This idea is wrong because it is the idea of ​​the Chinese, the idea that the Chinese came up with through Marvel movies, but it is not the idea of ​​the Americans.

In fact, Fantastic Four is still the largest superhero IP in the entire United States and has the most supporters. Otherwise, it would not have been three years ahead of Iron Man and released a movie in 2005.

But the problem is that the first film "Fantastic Four" was filmed, with bad reviews and box office failures. If Spider-Man hadn't been unexpectedly sold around the world, maybe the movie with the theme of superhero would have been a complete failure because of the failure of "Fantastic Four", and naturally there would be no Marvel Universe in the future.

So now the premiere of the Fantastic Four movie is very popular throughout Beimi.

At the same time, because this is also a movie produced by Daqian, Daqian has just made such a huge trick in the film industry, with huge news traffic, and many people will be interested in the new movie produced by Daqian.

So the movie got a fantastic start, earning $80 million on the first day of its release.

But just when everyone thought the movie was about to take off, they fell at an even more awesome speed.

The next day, the box office of the movie was cut in half, and the third day died again.

By the second week, the single-day box office had never exceeded $10 million.

As for the third week, many cinemas directly chose to release this floppy movie.

The reason is very simple. The film was really bad. The plot of the movie is greedy and comprehensive. It only takes 120 minutes, but I want to show the stories of the four magical heroes in all aspects, show their life experiences, and their mental journeys.

In fact, you can't be wrong with doing this. After all, this is something that an excellent filmmaker and screenwriter want, but the problem is that stuffing four people into a movie is too nonsense. It will inevitably distract the storyline of the entire movie and eventually turn into a piece of half-baked, baba-like stuff, disgusting.

To the audience's evaluation, he went in without knowing anything, and then came out without knowing anything, and they could not understand the plot inside.

However, there are still some core Marvel fans who came out to defend themselves, saying that this movie is actually very good, and it brings together the essence and famous scenes of the Fantastic Four comics over the past 30 years.

In addition, those who say they can't understand the plot are all because of their own ignorance. They only need to read all the Fantastic Four single-line books of more than 40 volumes and understand the detailed plot and design in it, and then they can easily see the plot.

OK, after such comments, I believe everyone understands the problem. After all, normal people are not interested in reading 40 single-line versions of the Fantastic Four.

On the other hand, there are many people who are here. After all, there are many people who like Daqian and many people who hate Daqian. For example, the Oscar Organizing Committee immediately cheered after seeing a negative review of "Fantastic Four", and organized a group of people to start all kinds of crazy losers "Fantastic Four".

And those previous film critics want to magnify all the shortcomings of "Fantastic Four" by 100 times, so naturally, "Fantastic Four" completely exploded.

In the end, the global box office of "Fantastic Four" had a $200 million investment, and only returned less than $60 million in share, and directly lost $140 million.

This also made film companies around the world feel relieved. In recent years, Daqian Movies have put too much pressure on them. In a few years, no movie has failed and they are all selling well, constantly setting box office records.

Now they know that the movies produced by Daqian movies will also fail, otherwise they really thought Jia Yapeng was a time traveler and knew what kind of movies the audience liked to watch.

However, this money was not lost by Daqian, but by Marvel. After all, Daqian Movie is only the producer of the movie, and people charge a production fee. Although it is not much, it is safe to make a profit and will not lose money.

The Marvel and the US First Foundation that really invested, with a $200 million investment, were both shameless and bet on all his reputation from the US First Foundation.

The US Priority Foundation made it clear from the beginning that they were not optimistic about the film and did not intend to invest in the filming. It was just that Stan Lee Yili asked and even threatened to introduce external capital. In the end, the US Priority Foundation invested reluctantly.

However, the two parties signed a bet agreement when investing, that is, if the movie makes a profit, except for the investment funds, the funds obtained will be given to the US Priority Foundation, and all the remaining profits will be controlled by Marvel itself, of which 50% of the profits belong to Stan Lee himself, and the foundation will not interfere.

But on the contrary, if you lose money, then all the losses will be borne by Stan Lee alone and responsible for repaying the losses.

At that time, Stan Lee signed a contract with confidence. In his idea, Daqian Movie, the movie giant who shot "Titanic", was responsible for shooting, and had a huge investment of 200 million US dollars, able to make special effects three times that of "Titanic". Coupled with the huge IP bonus of the superhero itself, this movie will never lose.

But in the end, they lost to Stan Lee himself, because the script originally given by Daqian Movie was not like this. The first half was the birth of the Fantastic Four, the middle part was their daily routine, and the last part was collectively fighting monsters and sweeping waves.

Very routine, but also very sure of a movie script that can attract audiences.

However, in order to achieve the connotation of the extreme role and maintain the original plot, Stan Lee insisted on redesigning the plot himself, and later even did all the storyboard work. In the end, the director of Daqian Film was so angry that he just left. Stan Lee found a young director who absolutely obeyed his orders to be responsible for the next shooting. It was not surprising that such a result would be achieved in the end.

In fact, it cannot be said that Stan Lee's idea of ​​showing the story core and spiritual core of every superhero is wrong. On the contrary, this is correct. Only in this way can the superhero shoot him truly make the audience remember him.

Several years later, Stan Lee himself figured out this problem, so the following Marvel movies were mainly personal heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, etc., and superheroes have their own exclusive movies.

Then these superheroes gathered in a movie and formed the Avengers series. They used more than 20 movies to create the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Marvel World in Stan Lee's heart.
