Hollywood Road - Chapter 712

In fact, Murphy sees very clearly that Spider-Man is the life-saving straw in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. Peter Parker has brought back the declining Columbia Pictures industry again and again, but after all, there are times when it can’t help, such as this time. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”.

What should I do at this time? Murphy can also think of it with his toes, that Sony Columbia Pictures wants to send Spider-Man home!

Marvel Dafa is infinitely good!

Nowadays, superhero movies are rampant, and the most popular ones come from the Marvel comics hero universe.

Spider-Man goes home and returns to his birthplace, with the help of the infinitely beautiful Marvel Dafa, it is bound to rejuvenate.

The news that Murphy collected from Sony Columbia Pictures also proved that Sony Columbia Pictures did have such a plan.

Thinking back to the 1980s and 1990s, the Marvel comics at that time were far from developing to the scale of the film industry that is now married to a wealthy family and monopolizes the production rights. It can only get involved in film and television by selling the copyright of comics. As Marvel’s most popular super One of the heroes, Spider-Man was bought by Columbia Pictures and MGM Films as early as 1977 to make the first TV movie.

Twenty-two years later, Columbia Pictures, which has become a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment, has given up participating in the new “James Bond” film series at the expense of acquiring all the rights to shoot Spider-Man movies from MGM Pictures. After more than ten years of negotiation, litigation and negotiation, Sony Entertainment finally has the body of Marvel’s daughter, the little spider.

The rest of the world knows about the rest of the world-in 2002, Sam Remy’s “Spider-Man” established the monument of Hollywood summer superhero blockbusters, and it is also known as “the icebreaker that opened a superhero movie.”

Sam Remy’s “Spider-Man” trilogy and the two relaunched “The Amazing Spider-Man” have brought more than 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in box office revenue to Sony Entertainment. Wei opened the hero group mode, and 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. also published hero posts to create the X-Men universe and DC Justice League universe.

Of course, Sony Entertainment, which is only the top beam of the little spider, can’t stand loneliness. The original plan is to start with “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” and intend to create its own “Spider-Man Movie Universe”, but “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” is 700 million US dollars. The box office did not meet Sony Entertainment’s global forecast of $1 billion, and both box office and word-of-mouth are at the bottom of the five Spider-Man movies.

Sony Entertainment, who had not yet succeeded in its career, saw a cash cow crumbling, and made the decision to adjust the schedule at the first time. “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” was postponed indefinitely as the “Sinister Six” to expand the “Spider-Man Movie Universe” The future of this alliance of villains has also been temporarily stopped. The predicated rhetoric of a Spider-Man movie every year since 2016 now seems to be just a dream.

However, slowing down and saving money will not solve the current situation of Sony Columbia Pictures’ tight capital chain and the difficulty of being alone. Just relying on the little spider alone is not enough to let Sony Entertainment sit and eat. It is because of the long-term maturity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the market value of Marvel Dafa, Sony Columbia Pictures actively contacted Marvel Pictures after the release of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” in North America, and threw the final bargaining chip-the decision to return to Spider-Man in exchange for entering. The pass of the Marvel universe to save Peter Parker, whose commercial value has shrunk.

Murphy got the exact news. Sony Columbia Pictures and Marvel Pictures have made initial contact, and even consulted several leading actors in the Avengers.

Sony Columbia Pictures has put forward some preliminary ideas for the little spider going home. Peter Parker first appeared in the works of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a key character. If the agreement can be reached, Spider-Man is likely to appear in “Captain America 3: Captain America:” Civil War” or “Avengers 3: Infinity War”.

Subsequently, Sony Columbia Pictures and the Marvel team jointly launched a new “Spider-Man” movie in 2017, and the current Spider-Man actor, Andrew Garfield, who has had a poor response from fans, will no longer play the role of Spider-Man.

However, according to the information provided by Robert Downey Jr., although Marvel Pictures is very interested in Sony Columbia Pictures’ proposal, it is also very worried, especially extremely dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits.

In the proposal of Sony Columbia Pictures, the new “Spider-Man” movie is jointly developed by both parties, but the core powers such as financing, production, distribution, and copyright are still owned by Sony Columbia Pictures. At the same time, they want to share the big picture of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cake, and Marvel Pictures can only be responsible for the production of the film…

This is undoubtedly unacceptable for Marvel.

Obviously, the Japanese cooperating with Marvel Studios is to make a fortune, rather than transferring the copyright, and really letting Spider-Man go home.

If this agreement can be reached, Sony Columbia Pictures will still control the core powers of the distribution and production of its own Spider-Man movies. Sony’s move is only to borrow the “fairy spirit” from the reunion army, and it is more of others. The movie worldview that has already taken shape and has experienced the test of the market, and hopes to use this worldview to re-position its own single seedling: the Spider-Man series of movies, which will be recognized by the market again.

Although Marvel wants to let Little Spider go home, it will certainly not accept such an unequal contract.

Murphy and Bill Rosses simply said the news from Robert Downey Jr. and others, “Marvel has concerns. During the initial contact between the two sides, the Japanese held the rights to the Spider-Man movie. , The price offered is too high, making it unacceptable for Marvel.”

Bill Rossis nodded, “Change me to the position of Kevin Fitch, and I won’t accept such an unequal treaty.”

“Kevin Fitch is one of the people who worry the most.” Murphy said with a faint smile, “The little spider going home is indeed a big gimmick. It can pull the influence of the entire Marvel universe, but there are also drawbacks. The disagreement is the number one obstacle.”

Although Sony’s own Spider-Man movie is made on its own, if there is any change that goes against the setting of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is a matter for the two companies. What kind of battle will be staged by then?

According to Robert Downey Jr., in addition to these, Kevin Fitch is very worried about the mess of Sony Columbia Pictures, and he is worried that Sony’s situation will drag Marvel Pictures.

“These differences stemming from interests can be resolved through negotiation.” Bill Rossis reminded Murphy, “As long as Sony Columbia Pictures is willing to make concessions, they still have a high possibility of cooperation with Marvel Pictures. “

“Yeah.” Murphy agreed with Bill Rossis. “It’s true.”

Bill Rossis added, “If this happens, Sony Entertainment is bound to suppress the internal sale of Columbia Pictures.”

Murphy laughed, “So, I have given Sony Columbia Pictures a potion!”

“Huh?” Bill Rossis asked curiously, “What kind of strong medicine?”

“Iron Man!” Murphy said slowly, “Robert Downey Jr.!”

Bill Rossis opened his eyes instantly and understood Murphy’s meaning, “Good way!”

He then asked again, “Has it been implemented?”

“Of course!” Murphy spread out his hands and said, “Downey is also interested in Sony Columbia Pictures. At the beginning of the month, after I called him, I asked the agent to come forward and find the top management of Marvel Pictures. Talked.”

“Then…” Bill Rossis turned his head slightly and asked, “How did the talk turn out?”

Murphy nodded lightly, “Very ideal. The plan of Sony Columbia Pictures is estimated to be in vain.”

In fact, neither he nor Robert Downey Jr. used any special or inscrutable methods. Robert Downey Jr’s agent just told the top of Marvel Pictures that Robert Downey Jr. didn’t like Spider-Man very much. This role, in all movies where Iron Man appears, there is him without Spider-Man, and Spider-Man without him…

In most cases, in the face of such threats, the film company will definitely fire or replace actors.

Many people always say that a role becomes an actor. This statement is true, and even very correct, but some roles are not like that, such as Iron Man Tony Stark.

Iron Man made Robert Downey Jr., if the cast were changed before the shooting of “Iron Man”, this film might not be unsuccessful, but it was released in the “Iron Man” trilogy and “Avengers” successively and achieved great success. Now, Robert Downey Jr. has become synonymous with Iron Man. In order to keep him, Marvel Pictures can even pay him $40 million for a single film…

What should Iron Man do if he loses Robert Downey Jr.? How to make films such as “Captain America 3” in preparation? These are huge problems facing Marvel Pictures.

Iron Man is the most popular character in the Avengers. Robert Downey Jr. is the favorite of these actors and fans. These are based on sufficient market research. Marvel Studios is also very clear. Change it. The role played by Tony Stark, most fans will certainly not pay, which affects the entire Marvel universe’s plans.

Robert Downey Jr. is very difficult to deal with. This has already been revealed, otherwise Robert Downey Jr’s pay will not rise all the way to as high as 40 million US dollars.

According to the feedback from Robert Downey Jr., Sony’s lack of sincerity, and his disguised threats, although Marvel Studios did not have the idea of ​​letting Little Spider go home, it believes that this is not the right time…

As Murphy finished his talks with Bill Rossis, more and more reporters gathered at the gate of the Death Star Building.

“Hi, just ask.”

A middle-aged reporter approached a girl with short hair holding a camera, “I often see you following Murphy recently. Which newspaper or website is it?”

Daisy smoothed her short blonde hair and said coldly, “I’m a freelance journalist.”
