Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Trillis was also very powerless, and sighed: "I didn't expect MGM to be defeated in an instant, and made a wave of publicity for "Iron Man" instead. The main reason is that I didn't expect "Iron Man" to be so good... ..”

"Don't say it's Huaxia's work, I believe it's made by Hollywood. I really didn't expect Huaxia to make such a blockbuster. This movie not only let us see the potential of Huaxia Film and Television, but also has a huge audience. Group, in our future works, we should think more about pleasing the Chinese audience, so as to increase the box office."

The box office of "Iron Man" not only amazed the audience, but also silenced many people in the industry.

The people who suffer the most are the people from MGM. They thought the gap was not that big.

The box office on the first day can also be seen to have a certain influence, but I didn't expect "Iron Man" to be too ruthless!

After the premiere, the data took off in all aspects. "Speed", which was used as a comparison, was the first to become the soul of the sword. It can also increase the influence and increase the box office.

But the key point is that "Iron Man" is too cool and meets everyone's expectations, while "Speed ​​Car" is too old-fashioned and disappoints the audience. In such a comparison, the difference is clear, so the first batch of audiences After the evaluation came out, "Speed ​​Car" went away immediately.

One day's box office is not as good as one day. This work with an investment of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars has only a box office of 90 million U.S. dollars today, and it is basically difficult to recover the cost.

Caitlin sighed deeply: "It's not that Mi Gao is too weak, but the opponent is too strong."

"Everyone has always had a bad impression of China's film and television works, and they don't think they can produce any outstanding works, even for special effects. The special effects of film and television works there have always been rubbish, so our special effects films are very popular in China. Delicious."

"It is because of this inherent impression that the quality of "Iron Man" has amazed people all over the world, and let us know that Huaxia can also make movies with such realistic special effects. It is because everyone has a poor impression of Huaxia and low expectations. , so "Iron Man" has become a kind of contrast, which makes us feel particularly good. In contrast, audiences are used to Hollywood blockbusters, and their expectations will be higher, so a slight difference will make people magnify this shortcoming. That, combined with the marketing behind it, made it what it is today."

"That's right, we overestimated ourselves and underestimated our opponent." Trillis heaved a sigh of relief, agreeing with Caitlin's statement.

This is the difference between a top student and a scumbag. Hollywood is a top student, a world-recognized place of film and television dreams, and the best place in the world, while Huaxia is a scumbag.

Xueba test is usually above 90 points. This time I got 89 points. I didn’t do well in the test, because everyone’s requirements will be higher, and Huaxia has always been 60 points. Suddenly I got 90 points, which will naturally surprise people. , was pleasantly surprised.

This is a question of expectations. Huaxia belongs to the kind that surprises people. "Speed ​​Car" is not that bad, it's just mediocre, but it has encountered explosive opponents, so the feedback from the box office is very intuitive.

"One thing you said is right, we really need to pay attention to the Chinese audience, at least this time we have seen the horror of this market, everyone will pay attention to the Chinese market in the future.

" Caitlin said lightly.

Trillis said: ""Iron Man" is such a hit, and the superhero concept he mentioned has become very popular. Hero series will be launched in the future. Many companies are preparing to shoot related types of movies. This theme will become popular in a short time. We Do you want to follow suit?"

Caitlin said: "It's not necessary. Follow the trend and make money, you can only eat soup forever. This is the behavior of a small company. If you really want to do it, you must have a good plan. Make a similar series of movies and develop it into an IP, similar to "Monster". , maybe this will be a trend in the future.”

Trillis continued: "Mubai Entertainment made a sound, recruiting directors and actors around the world. The superhero works behind him are selected globally. The director is also the same. I really want to get involved, but..."

Trillis is very jealous of the results of "Iron Man". According to this progress, the box office of "Monster 2" may not be as good as this movie!

"Monster 2" is a standard Hollywood blockbuster and belongs to a very popular series of movies.

When Mubai Entertainment issued this statement, the industry was shocked!

Countless actors and companies are ready to move. Everyone wants to get this resource, and actors are the most active. After all, the success of "Iron Man" has confirmed the potential of the superhero IP.

As for the director, as Chen Mubai guessed at the beginning, he fell into two situations.

The big director was unwilling to hand over the initiative, but the young director wanted to, and was afraid that Mubai Entertainment would not like it.

Some companies are trying their best to do the ideological work of the director, hoping to take over this IP, so that the company's influence can be improved, and cooperation with Chen Mubai can make money.

AMC is very embarrassed, it wants to get resources, and because of its position, it is not easy to let go...

After all, they targeted Mubai more for entertainment, and the Oscar incident directly aroused the conflict to the maximum, and it was difficult for the two sides to reconcile.

Trillis wants to intervene, but the relationship between them and Mubai Entertainment must be resolved first, so he hopes that Caitlin can make peace, and if they can persuade the other party, they can join this camp to make money.

"You want me to get in touch?" Caitlin glanced at Trillis, seeing through his true thoughts.

"Uh..." Trillis didn't hide his intentions.

"Do you think it will be useful if I come forward?"

"I think I can try it. As far as I know, many companies are secretly contacting Mubai Entertainment to win this resource. Originally, shopping malls are like battlefields. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. We can get them as interests." Award exchange, eliminate as much as possible the grudge between Mubai Entertainment and Oscar, and use it as a bridge of communication to reach a cooperation."

Trillis narrowed his eyes and said: "Although Oscar lost face this time, if he makes peace with Chen Mubai now, this is also the best result. It is a good thing for both parties. For Chen Mubai, Oscar is also a good thing. The world's top awards, if we can eliminate barriers, we may be able to win this award, and no one does not look forward to the statuette."

He thought well, analyzing the incident from the perspective of both sides, it is indeed the most beneficial to make peace.

This is true whether it is Chen Mubai or Oscar, even if Oscar hates Chen Mubai again, but the matter is over, if we can make peace this time, it will indeed save a lot of influence, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!

"It's not that easy..." Caitlin sighed.

"Let's not talk about the difficulty of completing this task, let's talk about actors and directors. This is not an easy task. Everything depends on their works, including film and television announcements, image endorsement of peripheral gifts, and sales... ..”

"It can only be said that top actors will definitely not accept it. Those who can accept it are second- and third-tier actors. The performance of the film is more impulsive, it will be much better to calm down."

"Any ambitious director doesn't want to make a wedding dress for others. Once the editing rights are gone, if the quality of the finished work is good, everyone will think that the IP itself is good. If it is not good, the director will be blamed. After all, it is him. The movie you make won’t bring you any benefits, and you may even get a bad reputation. The key point is that I can’t explain it. The entire crew belongs to him.”

"You know, Chen Mubai himself is a very charismatic and influential director + actor. He himself has the traffic of top superstars, so this movie can achieve this result. If it is someone else, the director is someone else. an effect?"

"Otherwise, why do you think there is no result until now, because everyone has seen it thoroughly, those who are really capable don't like Chen Mubai's big cake, and those who want to eat big cake, Chen Mubai may not necessarily like it."

Trillis thought about it, it was indeed such a truth.

To become the protagonist of Chen Mubai's hero series movies, the promotion of their works should be the main focus. If there is a conflict between the actor's work and the promotion schedule of the hero works, the hero movie must also be the main focus.

In fact, the restrictions on actors are not small, and they have to be on call, such as making up shots, needing to stand for the surrounding toys, including image endorsements...

Being on call is not a favorite thing for any star, and it greatly restricts freedom.

Because, you may be filming, and Mubai Entertainment calls you to go to work, you have to drop everything and run, which is indeed a bit too domineering.

But if you want to get resources, you must do these things.

In addition to the super high box office of "Iron Man", the surrounding toy models are all sold like crazy, including eyes, school bags...

In the few days since the film was released, merchandise related to "Iron Man" sold 100 million dollars worldwide!

It can be seen from this that once the superhero universe is formed, how huge the profit will be for this peripheral!

This is also where a lot of capital is greedy. The reason why those top actors are vacillating, although they are bound, but the peripheral products sell well, which also has a great positive effect on improving their influence and even increasing their commercial value. This is a Great temptation!

After all, heroes are bound to characters, plus the Avengers mentioned at the end of "Iron Man", then the peripheral products of these heroes will inevitably be sold together. Relying on the influence of "Iron Man", it will also bring other heroes To improve the influence, as long as the hero peripherals sell well, the actors who play the hero role will naturally be improved.

Therefore, accepting Chen Mubai's olive branch, not only because of the high IP potential of the movie itself, but also because the movie has a high probability of getting a good box office, off-site factors are also very important, and the influence of these peripherals should not be underestimated.

"Then let's just wait and see and do nothing?" Trillis was a little reconciled, he didn't want to miss this top ip.

"You can listen to it from the sidelines. It would be good if you can insert actors or directors. It mainly depends on whether you can invest."

Caitlin stretched out a palm on the table, stretched out a slender finger, tapped the table lightly, and made a crisp "da da" sound:

"Why would Chen Mubai kindly share a work that can be shaped into a top-level IP for everyone? He must have a deep-seated reason, and this reason is more important than the huge benefits he has gained from producing series of works by himself!"

"He is in such a hurry, coupled with the rapid expansion of the company, and the shooting plan of multiple movies. According to the budget of "Iron Man", I am afraid that Mubai Entertainment will not be able to handle such a large plate, so it will introduce foreign capital."

"First, it can eliminate risks. After all, not every heroic work can be loved by the audience, but the investment remains the same. The investment in this kind of sci-fi movie is so large. If several movies lose money, it will also be a serious blow to Mubai Entertainment. .”

"So it is the best choice to find someone else to take the risk, especially the success of "Iron Man" has shown the capital a beautiful pie, and everyone has to pay the bill, and Chen Mubai also has the right to edit, so that he can avoid his own risks to the greatest extent. Very beneficial to them."

"Secondly, once the film is successful, it will have a great impact on Mubai Entertainment. Using the influence of the film + peripherals and cultural output, this company will instantly become a top company in the world, and also enhance the international status of Huaxia's film and television works."

"Mubai Entertainment has risen very quickly and lacks foundation, so it is still not enough to affect this area. The gap can be seen from the theater line. If this movie is ours, the data can be even higher. Once they and The old-fashioned capital cooperation perfectly complements this defect.”

"I think this is his intention. The work can be completed in the shortest time to increase the influence, and it can solve the problem of shortage of funds and manpower."

It is definitely not a one-time production, it is a matter of time span.

The first is the taste of the audience. Maybe everyone likes this type of work at this stage, but it will be different in the next stage. The longer the delay, the less favorable it will be to the popularity and influence of the work.

The other is fan stickiness. One movie released a year is different from two or three movies a year. Fast updates can ensure the enthusiasm of fans, and fans will keep following updates, allowing fans to discuss the plot and increase stickiness. Time is too slow, but it will make many fans forget...

Just like "Iron Man" has just been released, the suspense left in the easter egg is fat and countless fans are looking forward to it. Everyone is urging Chen Mubai to finish the second part as soon as possible. They all want to see the composition of the Avengers and other super heroes. hero.

This is a movie that has just been released, and fans have already started urging it. Once the time is put on hold for too long, can you still expect everyone to have such high enthusiasm?

It is definitely impossible, some fans will definitely be lost, this is inevitable.

Kaitlyn's vision is indeed vicious, as expected of the president in charge of a film and television giant, she guessed Chen Mubai's thoughts about the same.

However, what she guessed wrong was Chen Mubai's trust in the work.

The reason why he wants to shoot fast is not lack of money, but that he wants to quickly build a superhero universe, hoping to fight Hollywood.

In the previous life, it took Marvel ten years to complete this layout, and Chen Mubai hoped it could be faster, five years or even faster~

After all, the person who knows the answer will naturally avoid many detours, and it is not impossible to increase the speed.

The biggest fear of filmmaking is lack of money, but this is exactly what Chen Mubai lacks most, and then there is the quality of the film. As long as the editing rights are in his hands, he is not worried that the quality and general direction of the film will run counter to him.

After listening to Caitlin's analysis, Trillis realized that there are still many mysteries in it. He also thought a lot, but he was not as thorough as Caitlyn's analysis!

Compared with being able to directly invest in works and cooperate with Chen Mubai, it is far easier to reach a cooperation than the other two things, and it also reduces a lot of risks.

After all, well-known actors and directors have their own arrogance, and the company can't completely ask them what to do. At this level, they all have a certain degree of autonomy, and the company also needs to discuss with them.

"Then I'll try to contact Bruce Lee and see if I can persuade him to communicate with Chen Mubai instead of us." Trillis thought for a while.

He is not stupid, he knows that there are conflicts between the two sides, and Chen Mubai is not a particularly easy-to-talk person. If they approached Chen Mubai directly, the chances of a successful negotiation would definitely be low, but if Bruce Lee came forward, the success rate would be higher, after all They are acquaintances, and Bruce is considered an American, so they can communicate better.

"Yes, if we can reach a cooperation, try our best to meet the needs of the other party." Caitlin nodded, and she also valued the potential of this IP.

Although the two sides were opponents before, and the rhythm of several waves was quite big, it seems that there is no chance of reconciliation, but the confrontation between capital is like this. After all, everyone is for profit and resources. Right now, it is natural to make peace for the benefit.

Chen Mubai needs channel influence, manpower, and funds. AMC has all of them. It is a very good partner. As long as the other party wants to make money, they can naturally abandon the direct gap.

"Be faster." Caitlin added: "What we can think of, others can think of, so the chips are directly on the table, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sit on the ground and raise the price."

The target for Chen Mubai is an alliance with several veteran giants. Caitlin doesn't think that the other party will miss this opportunity, maybe they have already tried to make contact behind their backs.

They also come together because of their interests. If Mubai Entertainment is driven out of the United States, they will naturally be able to divide up more resources, and now they can also fall apart for the sake of the superhero IP.

 …

"Wow, I didn't expect "Iron Man" to be so exciting!"

"It's the first time I've seen Huaxia have such an excellent movie. Their special effects are not inferior to Hollywood. I'm so surprised!"

"Superhero, I like this concept. When I was a child, I also dreamed of being a hero who saves the world. Chen Mubai is [making dreams] for us people!"

"It's so good. I want to watch more Huaxia movies. In the past, I always thought that Huaxia's film and television works were very backward. This is my cognitive problem. I must have missed a lot of excellent works~"

"Mubai Entertainment is openly recruiting characters suitable for superheroes from all over the world. "Spiderman", "Thor" and "Hulk". These are all superheroes planned by Mubai Entertainment. Looking forward to it~"

"It turns out that not only Hollywood can make such a wonderful blockbuster, China can also do it, it's amazing~"

Internationally, many netizens gave "Iron Man" a very high evaluation. Also because this movie is Huaxia's work, Huaxia's film and television influence has been greatly improved in the hearts of everyone.

In the past, everyone thought that Huaxia Film and Television was poor. Now that they saw "Iron Man", many people apologized one after another, thinking that their vision was narrow.

Seeing these remarks, the Huaxia government was very happy.

They have always supported Chen Mubai, just looking forward to the arrival of this day, and now the influence has spread, and this storm will become bigger and bigger.

"Give Chen Mubai as much support as possible. Don't his movies need the cooperation of the military, and try his best to meet all his needs."

"In terms of publicity, give some support. After all, it opens the door to science fiction and represents our facade, so that everyone can see the support for this type of work, and then guide the industry to create more such works, whether it is brain holes or special effects. , will promote the development of film and television culture, which is much better than filming those romantic works."

"If you want to increase your influence, you must carry out cultural output. I think the concept of superheroes is fine. From the influence of "Monster" in our country, we can see that this kind of soft cultural invasion is still very large. I hope superheroes can also achieve this. Influence."

Huaxia issued an order, and Chen Mubai's work basically got the green light all the way.

During the filming of "Iron Man", military sites and some weapons were used, including the fighter jet.

Since the work of this superhero series is to defend the earth, coupled with the background of "The Avengers", it will inevitably have a certain intersection with the national defense of the country, so it is natural to give full support.

On the one hand, it can show the strength of national defense in the movie and enhance the audience's awareness of China's military strength. On the other hand, it can enhance China's cultural influence and status in the world.

As early as a few years ago, the government was investing in Chen Mubai's future, and now it's time to reap the fruits.

 …

Chen Mubai still doesn't know that the government has given him the green light again because of "Iron Man", and vigorously supports his works, so as to enhance the reputation of his works and Mubai Entertainment, thereby promoting and spreading Chinese culture!

In any case, this is Huaxia's own work after all, and it is an honor.

This year, he had a very happy time.

The movie was a big hit, and during this period of time, he was free to enjoy the life of a couple with Tao Yaoyao every day. Like ordinary couples, they can get tired of being together every day, without being separated in different places, and they won't have no time to get together because of work.

Similarly, his superhero universe has taken a successful step, and his goal of spreading Chinese culture is also slowly advancing.

Although the previous few movies had some influence on improving Huaxia, the impact was a little bit small after all.

Now that "Iron Man" is popular all over the world, it has made everyone re-examine the stereotype of China and changed everyone's view.

Half a month later, the box office of "Iron Man" in China has reached 4.3 billion!

The guaranteed box office that Chen Mubai estimated at the beginning has already been reached, and the figures are still rising. Although the enthusiasm for watching movies has dropped a lot, the daily box office is still not to be underestimated. Breaking through the 5 billion mark is not a problem!

Once the box office of this movie can exceed 5 billion, then this movie will become the number one box office movie in China, and it will also be Chen Mubai's highest box office movie!

However, Chen Mubai didn't pay attention to these anymore, and he didn't have time to pay attention to this.

The half-month vacation was extremely rare for both Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao. After they fully enjoyed this wonderful time, the preparations for "Titanic" were all completed.

The two are about to officially film the movie!

Mubai Entertainment issued an announcement that the project of "Titanic" was officially established!
