Hollywood Starts with Animation

"The movie "Blade Warrior", the target audience of New Line Pictures, the producer at the beginning of the period, is only a vampire action movie with a small number of comic fans as the target market, but judging from the box office of the first weekend and three days, it was unexpectedly received extremely well. great popularity."

"Blood, American Kung Fu, Wesley Snipes, the black hero, under the combination of various factors, make "Blade Runner" full of strange charm!"

"After the film received $13 million on the first day of its release, it reported another $19 million at the North American box office on Saturday and Sunday, with a total of more than $32 million in the first three days of the first weekend."

"Here, we would like to congratulate New Line Cinema! With an investment of 45 million US dollars, it will definitely make a lot of money."

"At the same time, this film is also the first successful superhero-themed film after the failure of "Batman". It just wants a piece of gold, which is a milestone!"

"Superhero movies, great potential!"

This report of more than 500 words comes from the report of "Time Magazine Entertainment Edition".

The writer of the article is very optimistic about the prospects of "Blade Warrior", but there are also suspicions of advertising.

In fact, it's just advertising!

Because "Blade Warrior" is produced and produced by New Line Pictures, it is one of the subsidiaries of Time Warner. New Line Cinema, which is backed by Time Warner Group, one of the six major Hollywood companies, is not worried at all in terms of movie announcements.

This is also the reason why many second-tier and third-tier film companies are willing to accept the inclusion of large companies.

It's all because of money!

"Los Angeles Morning Post", "California Entertainment News", "Boston Evening News", "Global Times", etc., as many as more than 50 media, reported the outstanding performance of the Blades in a targeted manner.

Even many media in Hong Kong are full of praise for the Blade Warrior!

Make a big headline!

"Kung Fu shocked America!"

"Kung Fu is famous overseas!"

Why?

Because the setting style of action and fighting in "Blade Warrior" is based on Hong Kong Kung Fu, and the Hong Kong Action Team personally participated in the production.

Hong Kong Kung Fu, which is one-by-one and extremely pleasing to the eye, is very different from the traditional American action style of Hollywood. In 1998 Hollywood, it attracted the attention of moviegoers.

"Charlie's Angels", "The Matrix", "Cosmos Wanted" and other films will also follow the fighting style of "Kung Fu" in the next few years. …

And according to the historical process of the original time and space, the "Rush Hour" played by Jackie Chan, which was released in September, won a box office of 141 million US dollars in one fell swoop, shocking Hollywood.

Its box office performance ranked seventh in the North American annual box office rankings in 1998.

This also directly led to the popularity of "Kung Fu" in the United States in the next few years!

However!

The "Kung Fu" element is imported and non-local in the United States after all, but in just a few years, after the novelty has passed, the glory will no longer be there.

........

Warner Films.

The CEO, Joe Hunter Williams, put down the report in his hand and couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly.

"Mr. Williams, it seems that the excellent performance of "Blade Warrior" makes you feel good!" Assistant Edeo laughed.

"certainly."

Executive President Joe Hunter Williams nodded and said: "New Line Cinema is after all a subsidiary of our Warner Bros. If it makes money, it means that our group makes money. At the same time, "Blade Runner" can sell well, which also means that We Warner DC superheroes,

to be on the big screen again. You say, can I not be excited? ! "

Assistant Edeo laughed immediately.

The "Blade Warrior" that was born out of nowhere is indeed a milestone of special significance!

It gives superhero movies a powerful shot!

........

Thanks to the fiery performance of "Blade Runner", the stock price of Marvel Comics has also risen for three consecutive days, pulling a hand from Marvel, which is still on the verge of an abyss.

Investors are somewhat bullish on Marvel's future.

However, Marvel, the manga maker, was not too happy.

It's true that "Blade Runner" made money, but it was New Line Cinema that made money, and Marvel only enjoyed a very small portion of the final revenue of the film.

In fact, in the original time and space, based on the performance of "Blade Warrior", New Line Pictures made a full profit of nearly 100 million US dollars in the online and offline markets. But Marvel only got a measly $15,000.

The difference is so huge!

Can Marvel's mind be balanced?

Balance the shit!

"Damn New Line Pictures, we sold the copyright for only $250,000!" Marvel executives are dead.

However, this is just the beginning....

On Monday, a full eight Hollywood studios came to their door to seek the film and television rights of Marvel Comics.

"Man, sell Spider-Man to our company."

"What? Spider-Man has been sold?!"

"The Hulk, Iron Man, and X-Men, you can always sell it. It's really impossible. We can cooperate and complete it together."

"I go!"

"Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men...the copyrights of these popular heroes, you all sold them!!!"

The representatives of the 8 film companies who came to visit were collectively dumbfounded!

The representatives of the 8 film companies who were not reconciled began to inquire about the ownership of the copyright owners of the superheroes that had been sold by Marvel, and also wanted to follow the "Blade Runner".

20th Century Fox;

Wald Pictures;

The names of these two film companies have entered the eyes of major Hollywood film companies.

20th Century Fox, as one of the Big Six in Hollywood, exists, not to mention for the time being.

However, Wald Pictures, which has only become famous in recent years, actually holds the popular copyrights of dozens of superheroes such as Spider-Man, Venom, Hulk, Black Widow, etc., so they can't help but be alarmed?

"My God, how cruel is Wald Pictures?!"

"Damn!"

"Marvel's popular superhero copyrights have been won by the two of them. Although Marvel still has many superhero copyrights, they are not famous, and they have nothing to do with it!"

"Break away, disperse!"

"That's right! Let's not think about 20th Century Fox. Maybe we can think of a way from Wald Pictures."

"Shit! That guy, Zucker Wald, is notoriously ruthless. You can take the copyright from him unless Satan becomes God!"

The representatives of the major Hollywood film companies were really gnashing their teeth in anger.

There were even a few guys who didn't believe in evil, went to Wald Pictures, and before they said a few words, they were pushed back, disheartened.

Marvel also stomped its feet in anger!

On this day, Bill McNick, president of Wald Pictures, held a press conference to officially announce that "Spider-Man" has entered the preparatory period.

Shock Hollywood!

"Spider-Man" was initially disliked by investors, and in a short period of time, it evolved into a popular investment project.

Peter Parker is shaking!

" "The first more is sent.
