Rebirth In Hollywood

The movie Marvel comics is not only to test the waters, but also to accumulate popularity for the follow-up works. Although Ryan has confidence in the superheroes of Marvel, the management of Marvel only targets comic fans in the market. The crowd's reaction was beyond their expectations.

Horror, blood, and American Hong Kong Kung Fu, as well as the slow-mirror bullet shots that are destined to become classics, coupled with the combination of beauties and cool men, have all become topics that movie fans talk about, and some even think that "Blade Warrior" "It can be called a classic of action movies.

Although professional film critics are not interested in this kind of movie, and often publish sour comments such as "the only thing that attracts attention is ketchup and silly fights", it is a pity that most movie fans do not buy their account and go to the theater one after another. Enjoy this pure entertainment.

"We need to please the audience, not those so-called professionals. As long as the audience is willing to pay for tickets, let their film reviews go to hell."

This is what Ryan said at the surprise high-level meeting after the box office came out in the first week. "Blade Warrior" is obviously a pure entertainment movie. If film critics insist on using art to comment on it, it is a big joke .

In this respect, what Ryan admired the most was the later Michael Bay. Those film critics wanted to belittle his work to the Mariana Trench, but after the disastrous defeat, after awakening, the explosion took the explosion to the extreme. The production made the producer a lot of money.

For the future positioning, Ryan is very clear, that is commercialization, and his efforts in film also closely revolve around commercialization.

For example, Scott's investment team has been watching the IT industry since the early 1990s, and will submit a report for him every once in a while, and then Ryan will look for the names of impressive companies or websites, and can be identified What he remembered must have been famous in his previous life.

Just last month, he got a report from Scott's submission. Found two familiar website names - imdb and Rotten Tomatoes, and...

Then there was no indication that Ryan had no interest in these two websites. In his previous life, he was engaged in the theater industry, and he knew a lot of information that was only widely circulated in the industry.

These two websites can be said to be overrated models. Their influence is not as great as imagined, not to mention the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but the movie box office...

In the last year of the previous life, one of the most authoritative film institutions in the United States. Through long-term observation and evaluation, we found that for the top 50 box office movies in the past ten years, the correlation between the box office and the ratings of imdb and Rotten Tomatoes is only 0.13, in other words, there is almost no correlation.

The most representative one is the "Transformers" series.

The correlation dropped to -0.81, and the negative score means that the more fierce the critics criticize, the higher the box office will be.

In Ryan's view, it is the decision whether the movie is good or bad, life or death. It's never the site and the critics, it's the audience's choice.

Besides, the more controversial the big production, the more attention it can attract. Often the more lucrative the income.

After all, "Blade Warrior" is the first movie produced by Marvel, and it is normal for the management to be a little worried. When the first week's box office was released, they were at least half ashamed.

It grossed $34.5 million in its first week. It directly kicked Leonardo's "Mission: Impossible" from the top of the weekly box office chart, and the latter has occupied this position for three weeks, with a North American box office of more than 100 million US dollars. In addition, he made Xiao Li a superstar.

Judging from the fact that the number of movie viewers did not decrease sharply in the second week, it should be easy for "Blade Warrior" to exceed 100 million at the North American box office. In addition to the several overseas markets that have been confirmed to be introduced, it may be able to earn back thousands of dollars based on the box office alone. million dollars in profit.

Ryan also heaved a sigh of relief. In his previous life, the producer of this film was New Line. In this life, it was replaced by Marvel Films, which appeared earlier. The debt has long been paid off.

There are no surprises now, and the surprise management also has confidence in their children, not only speeding up the early planning of "X-Men", but also putting "Blade 2" on the agenda.

Marvel's management also understands Ryan's plan. As long as "Blade Warrior" and "X-Men" warm up the market, Marvel's biggest goal at the beginning of the new century will be-"Spider-Man"!

"Stan, what I meant before is to add more intersections between Eric and Charles in the plot. For example, they used to fight side by side and are very good friends. Charles was paralyzed because of Eric's accidental injury."

Holding up his mobile phone, Ryan waved to a few friends, walked out of the tennis court in the manor, and kept communicating with Stan Lee, "Don't characterize Magneto as a villain, I found someone to make a market According to the survey, Eric has a very high popularity, and a Magneto who fights for the benefit of mutants and is both good and evil will definitely be more popular."

He changed his mobile phone, "Although we are filming a trilogy for the time being, we should make preparations for the long-term. As long as the entire series is popular, we can take out popular characters to make movies alone, and even make more movies in the future." A prequel could be done, telling the story of their youth."

"Well, no problem, you can send it to my mailbox after you confirm the outline." Ryan turned and walked towards the tennis court, "That's it for now."

Magneto King Eric and Professor X Charles are a pair of good friends, coupled with Mystique Raven, the plot of falling in love and killing each other is bloody enough.

Of course, this is a long-term plan for Ryan. In this era, if Magneto and Professor X have sex, the movie will only have a dead end.

Hmm... just adding some interaction would do the trick.

Thinking of these far-fetched things, Ryan returned to the tennis court, handed the phone back to George, and shouted to the two girls who were playing, "Who lost?"

"I!"

Scarlett Johansson raised her hand first, walked over and handed the tennis racket to Ryan, and lowered her voice, "Be merciful, if Nat loses in a hurry..."

She squeezed her eyes, full of mischief inside.

Ryan shrugged. After Natalie's birthday, Scarlett clearly saw the relationship between the two. Maybe it was Natalie's advice, or maybe it was because she really grew up and matured. anyone to disclose.

Walking to the teeing area, Ryan took out the tennis ball in his pocket, shook it a few times, and shouted to Natalie, "Nat, now let me show you the strength of a professional player."

"Stop talking big, Ryan." Natalie, who had her ponytail tied up, straightened her sportswear and got ready to catch the ball. "Your level, at best, can beat Taylor."

"Impossible, he never beat me." Taylor's voice came from the rest area beside the tennis court.

"Honey, under the rules you set, no one can win."

You are not allowed to surf the net, you are not allowed to move, you will never have the right to serve, and the most important thing is to use table tennis bats. With such rules, even if Agassi and Sampras come, they will only lose.

Shaking his head, Ryan threw up the light yellow tennis ball, swung the racket, and the ball fell into the net.

hell! The corners of his mouth trembled.

"Fifteen to zero!" The sound of the blond curly scoring the score sounded.

"Hey, double faults are worth one point!" Ryan waved his racket dissatisfied, and Taylor shouted indifferently, "Shouldn't men give way to women?"

"Hurry up, Ryan." Natalie slammed her racket against her sneakers, "Or should I serve instead?"

"Alright alright!"

Retrieving the tennis ball, in line with the principle that good men don't fight women, Ryan stood on the serve point again. Just looking at his posture, he is definitely a professional-level master.

Although she has not been trained at the professional level as said, Ryan's level is considered good among amateurs. As long as the ball does not fall into the net or go out of bounds, Natalie can rarely receive his serve and return.

"Fifteen to forty, Nat, you have to work hard, or you will lose." Taylor and Scarlett encouraged.

"Stop, Ryan!" Natalie raised her hand to interrupt Ryan's ready serve, "I want...to change the racket."

"Nate, don't waste time, even if you change ten rackets, you will still lose." Ryan shook his head indifferently.

"Who said I need to change the racket?" Natalie showed a sly smile, "I mean you change the racket, change to a table tennis racket."

After finishing speaking, she turned to the sidelines, "Taylor, quickly send Ryan's special racket over."

"immediately!"

The little blond girl jumped off the seat and ran over quickly. While Ryan was stunned, she snatched the tennis racket and stuffed a ping-pong racket into his hand.

"this……"

Ryan looked at the tennis ball in his left hand, then at the red racket in his right hand, then gritted his teeth and threw the tennis ball.

"Thirty to forty..."

"Forty to forty..."

"It's evenly divided now!"

"Wow, Nat, you got the end point!"

The result of the game can be imagined. After Ryan walked off the tennis court, Taylor replaced him. When he was sitting in the rest area, she shouted the so-called rules to the other side, and Natalie's face was full of black lines.

"Where's Christine?" Ryan was a little surprised, that tomboy always liked to follow Taylor's ass.

"She's on the set." Scarlett Johansson put the juice on the table next to Ryan, "Aunt Julius helped her find a role."

"A movie called The Little Mermaid," she added.

"That's right." Ryan nodded.

This is a very normal thing. My mother and friends and relatives around me are all well-known people in the industry. Entering Hollywood will naturally be the first choice, and it is a great advantage and resource to interpret the background of the aristocratic family.

"Ryan, I haven't said thank you yet." Scarlett had passed Sofia Coppola's audition.

"You're welcome, Scarlett, we're friends."

Ryan waved his hand indifferently, and then saw Lisa approaching with a weird expression, "Ryan, someone is here to visit you." (To be continued...) ()
