MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1171 5 Big League

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

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 Studios is very confident!

As for the commercial blockbusters produced by Marvel Studios, there is no need to rely on the potential of summer and Christmas to make money.

With the foreshadowing of "Spider-Man", "Ant-Man", "Daredevil", "Ghost Rider", "Iron Man" and other movies, 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 the low season and half the hot season. As a result, the film grossed $200 million in North America, $310 million overseas, and a global total of $510 million.

Good grades.

This time, "Ant-Man 2" is even more confident, advancing the release date to October 5th!

This is to earnestly rush to kill in the off-season of the box office in October!

No way, there are too many big investment films under New Universal, so they need to be distributed reasonably.

At the beginning of November, "Harry Potter Goblet of Fire" will be released grandly.

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

With such a crowded schedule, we can only presuppose the schedule of the movie "Ant-Man and the Wasp".

Who called this a Marvel movie!

Stronger strength means more responsibility.

In a tense and cold atmosphere across the board in Hollywood, "Ant-Man 2" was released.

Fans from the outside world are obviously not affected by what has happened in Hollywood recently, and they have given the greatest support to Marvel's superhero movies as they have in the past.

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

Because here there is a real Marvel female superhero - the Wasp!

"The Wasp" actress Rose Byrne's posters are plastered in every movie theater in the United States. There is only one word to describe the Australian actress, and that is beautiful!

Absolute beauty!

Last year, DC produced a female superhero movie called "Catwoman." Choosing a black actress as the protagonist has become the biggest laughing stock in the world.

In contrast, Marvel's choice is too much.

With the plot foreshadowing 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 such as "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man", compared with ordinary commercial blockbusters, such achievements are 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 the Marvel Studios, there is naturally another grand occasion, singing and carnival.

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

The film "Ant-Man 2", from post-production to release, was all written by Kevin Feige.

Now that the movie is winning, he is naturally very happy.

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

This is completely different from the gloomy atmosphere 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 said it a long time ago, it doesn't matter to us what's going on outside! This is Marvel Studios, and we have the biggest support from the big boss! If Hollywood collapses, we will all be safe and sound! We have to dedicate more and more exciting things to fans. movie!"

At the internal meeting, Kevin Feige's attitude was very high-profile.

It even goes against the top decision of the Film and Television Entertainment Department.

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

The situation is very critical!

Hollywood's Big Five Alliance did not directly admit to counseling as Bill McNick and others imagined, but instead showed a very urgent attitude and formed a confrontation with New Universal.

The current situation is very tense and full of gunpowder.

If anyone accidentally misses a gun, Hollywood will have a big explosion, and it will be out of control.

So Bill McNick has already ordered, be careful! Be cautious!

But Kevin Feige didn't care.

He only cares about Dunn's thoughts, and he is only responsible to Dunn.

With the achievements of Marvel Studios... the CEO of the film and television entertainment department in the district can't control him! He is eligible to report directly to Dunn without being accountable to Bill McNick.

Especially in the case of "Ant-Man 2" box office dazzling, Kevin Feige does not care.

He is very young and has no relationship with this century-old Hollywood.

Maybe the big boss Tang En was in a rage to fight a great war of extinction, and the rest of the Marvel Studios could live better.

"What Disney, Warner Bros., and Fox and Columbia are all bullshit! Not to mention comparing with our entire group, can we compare to our Marvel Studios? Haha, we Marvel releases three movies a year, with global box office. Nearly 2 billion US dollars! Of course, the box office data may not be higher than those of those giants, but we have a high rate of return! There are many profits! Marvel Studios has a net profit of at least US$1 billion a year! Just ask the five giants, which of the five giants can make a net profit in the film business $1 billion? Not one!"

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

However, there is no need to put more money on the opponent's face. It is a common trick to belittle the opponent and elevate yourself.

Kevin Feige's remarks obviously gave the internal staff of Marvel Studios a reassurance, and they laughed out loud in the conference room.

indeed so.

Other filmmakers need to be nervous, does Marvel still need to be nervous? So confident!

Kevin Feige knows that everyone is worried about the recent rumors in Hollywood, but this is not acceptable. He also expects everyone to continue to work hard with passion and create more movies. Not to mention other things, the new film "Captain America" ​​is about to start shooting, and then there is the "Iron Man 2" project to be launched.

Others can be chaotic, but Marvel can't do it.

Fortunately, his words played a necessary role.

Kevin Feige continued: "Isn't it the Big Five Alliance, what's the big deal? It's just a bunch of rabble! We are Marvel, we have experience. Think about Marvel Entertainment a few years ago, it's just like the current situation. Exactly the same!"

Back then, after the big sales of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", Marvel's comic book sales surged rapidly, seriously threatening the position of industry leader DC.

Movies have the MPAA rating board, and comics have the Comics Standards Authority, all of which are "grading" agencies.

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

At that time, many cartoonists in Marvel were very angry, but they did not want to back down and reported it to Dunn.

Tang Enzhi was also furious when he heard that, and immediately made a decision, and Marvel Entertainment immediately withdrew from the Comic Standards Authority!

Marvel Entertainment is self-reliant, playing with itself, not complicit with you!

Next, Marvel came up with a Marvel rating system, and then self-assessed and sold it, and sales did not decrease. Not only that, but in the next few years, more comics companies successively withdrew from the Comics Standards Authority, stood with Marvel Entertainment, and used the "Marvel Standards".

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 trend 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's not right, then you might as well follow the example of Marvel Entertainment and let it go!

Exit directly!

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

Kevin Feige used the successful case of Marvel Entertainment as a model, and quickly gathered people's hearts, suppressing the restless atmosphere within the Marvel Studios.

It reflects the qualities that a leader should have.

……

Dunn is still on vacation, and this time he has moved to the Sunshine Coast of Spain.

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, Tang En was fortunate to have favored Gal Gadot and Blake Lively, and received a report from Tosca Musk.

It depicts the current situation in Hollywood.

The Big Five Alliance was not deterred, but intensified, and gave a very controversial rating decision to a film under New Universal~www.novelbuddy.com~ This time it is an adaptation of the cartoon of the same name produced by Universal Pictures. The animated film "Curious George", a proper PG level, even gave a PG-13!

The signs of targeting should not be too obvious!

This is not a compromise, it is to fight with Tang En to the end!

"Boss, why do I feel that something is wrong? This time... they seem to be determined to fight to the end, as if they are going to be serious." Tosca Musk said worriedly.

Tang En came to the study and said angrily: "If you are real, you will be real, will I still be afraid of them? If it's a big deal, Hollywood will be completely shattered. I want to see, what can I do! I want to make a big name in my head. It's 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've made too much money in the past two years, especially in the movie industry, where most of the profits were made by us, and they were forced to do nothing."

Tang En snorted coldly: "Now they can get at least 40%! If they start, they won't be able to hold back their strength... By then, they won't even want to earn a penny!"

"Then we would be badly damaged too."

"Do you think I would care about this loss?"

Tosca Musk shook his head and said: "You are the richest man, you don't care. But the filmmakers of 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 stand with outsiders against you."
