Superstars In Parallel Time and Space - Chapter 954
Chapter 954 “The Avengers” is not broadcast first
“Everyone’s reaction to “Iron Man 2″ was very strong. The first stage ended successfully.” Lu Fang said with a smile.
“Yes, I didn’t expect a 51st file to break out such a big box office potential. I’m afraid that more works will be squeezed into this schedule in the future.” Qian Duoduo sighed.
“That’s not enough.” Li Feng smiled and shook his head: “This year’s May 1st box office is so high. A large part of the reason is “Iron Man 2”. It’s not that the box office has such an explosion in the schedule, but everyone likes this one. The work, so it has increased the box office of the entire schedule. The previous superheroes have made this IP more and more popular, and “Iron Man”, as the most popular hero, naturally has many crowds.”
“That’s true.” Qian Duoduo nodded and said: “However, the box office of movies is increasing every year, and the same is true for the same period. The pressure of competition will increase in the future.”
”It is a good thing for us, after all, it is naturally hot.” Li Feng smiled.
No matter how great the competition is, Mubai Entertainment’s reputation has already gone out. Coupled with the formation of the superhero series, IP has become very hot, with a group of fans.
The box office of each period is growing, which means that they can get a higher box office and make the film perform better, which is naturally a good thing.
Although it is said that competition will increase, this is not their weakness, but their strength.
“It’s time to launch “The Avengers”.”
The time is just right, the film has enough foreshadowing, and it creates a sense of expectation for the audience. It is time for a few superheroes to gather.
“I have a hunch, this movie should be the highest grossing movie among all superheroes.” Qian Duoduo guessed.
“This is not easy.” Li Feng interrupted.
It’s not difficult to just flatten the global box office of a superhero. According to the current heat and influence, a superhero movie’s global box office can get at least 600 million U.S. dollars, better to 800 million, and even better, it can break 10 Billion.
The minimum standard is US$600 million, which is not too difficult.
But if you want to get the best level, then the box office will have to break 1.5 billion.
At the time, the highest box office of this IP was “Spider-Man”, with a box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, and then “Iron Man”. Although it was the first superhero to be released, it was very popular with the audience, so the box office was also good. More than 1 billion U.S. dollars.
The rest are floating at US$800 million. This time, “Iron Man 2” can be said to be a long-awaited work. It earned 1.4 billion US dollars at the global box office, breaking the box office performance of “Monster 3” in one fell swoop and turning its global movie The eighth place in the box office rankings was taken away, and it was rushed to the ninth place!
In this way, three of the top ten films in the global box office ranking are movies produced by Mubai Entertainment, and Chen Mubai participated in the production of all three movies.
”Iron Man” is ranked 12th, “Iron Man 2” is 8th, “Spiderman” is 10th, and “Titanic” is first!
This is a very terrifying achievement. Chen Mubai has received a lot of praise. He broke the rule of European and American film and television companies and also broke their monopoly!
The most important thing is that Chen Mubai continues to create miracles. He is still at the peak. This is very scary, and it also scares many foreign film and television companies.
Now, Chen Mubai is the director most people don’t want to meet, and he doesn’t want to become a competitor. It’s really terrifying.
“It’s really not easy.” Lu Fang agreed with Li Feng’s point of view.
“Although the assembly of all these heroes is a gimmick and a plot that the audience has been waiting for for a long time, when this scene appears, everyone will definitely call for their favorite characters. How to balance them is not an easy task. It will be sprayed.”
This is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it can get a lot of popularity and get a very high box office. But if it is not used well, it is also a fatal flaw, and it will also cause fans to pinch each other.
After all, the characters that everyone likes are different. If a character is too dazzling, and the character they like is dim, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with that part of the fans.
“This matter is left to Mu Bai.” Li Feng said.
The “Avengers” project is in charge of Chen Mubai. He is still the director, so they naturally believe him.
“Mu Bai, okay?” Lu Fang glanced at Chen Mubai.
“No.” Chen Mubai replied.
Qian Duoduo asked curiously: “So, Yaoyao is also one of us?”
“Correct.”
“There have been such speculations on the Internet, it seems that they guessed it correctly.” Qian Duoduo was a little puzzled: “Then why does she have no single-player movies?”
Chen Mubai said: “This is related to her personal background and memories. You will know from now on. The main character set is also human, but unlike Captain Huaxia, she has no superpowers and no physical bonuses. They are personal abilities, and they are all characteristics that humans can possess.”
“Superheroes have traits that humans don’t have. This makes a big difference.”
“When audiences are watching movies, they prefer to see capable people. A character like Yaoyao is actually a human elite. After all, she is still a human, and her ability does not exceed the scope of human beings. In fact, the filming is cool. It’s not what the audience thinks, it’s just unpleasant.”
“If she were to make a movie for her alone, she might not be popular, but if she appeared in other heroic movies, it would give her extra points, because the audience would think she was very mysterious and would have curiosity about this role, and there would be a kind of inquiry. The psychology of Pipa is still half-hidden.”
Qian Duoduo can understand what Chen Mubai meant. He agreed: “It is indeed possible. If I were an audience and I went to the cinema to choose science fiction movies, I would also like to see someone with superpowers instead of an ordinary person. , It’s better to watch some action movies, at least a bit more passionate.”
“I’m already looking forward to the moment we get together.” Qian Duoduo was a little longing.
”From the perspective of the audience, I am quite expecting it.” Li Feng echoed with a smile.
“I look forward to it too.” Tao Yaoyao said with a smile.
“In fact, before accepting this role, I didn’t know that I was also a member of the Avengers. I thought it was a simple cameo role, but I didn’t expect the role to be quite heavy.”
Every one of them has seen the superhero series of works. As a successful movie, it will naturally gain a lot of crowds.
Chen Mubai only releases his work in the form of a movie, without the addition of comics, but in fact, the impact of comics is far less than the influence of film and television. After all, not everyone likes to watch comics. In many cases, everyone is more willing to watch movies and televisions. Things.
Therefore, no one knows what each hero’s next work will tell, and what happens when they gather together, it is the next script that determines the direction of the story.
And this script is in Chen Mubai’s mind. He is the only one who knows the answer. Even if he cooperates with Solomon, he follows his filming plan. Only when he gives the script to the other party can the film start shooting. Receive the script in advance.
This minimizes the leakage of the plot, which causes the audience to look forward to the plot more, and no one knows what will happen next moment.
The preparations for the movie “The Avengers” have been completed. Before the formal project was established, Chen Mubai asked all the actors to clear the schedule in advance to avoid being blocked by the rest of the works during the shooting process.
After all, many actors don’t just shoot one movie, especially after they shoot superhero works, they have more resources to find them, and they will be busier at work.
Communication in advance is a very necessary thing. Everyone will spare time. After all, when the contract was signed, there was already this mandatory requirement, and they would mainly focus on Mubai Entertainment’s works.
Under the premise of not affecting the shooting of Mubai Entertainment’s superhero works, you can shoot the rest of the works. In fact, although this film takes a long time, it will not be distributed to everyone because it is no longer the absolute protagonist. Each person has a limited number of scenes, and the filming will be completed soon.
This little time is not a problem for these actors. Everyone came to Huaxia early and was ready to gather before the official shooting. It was also considered a familiarity to increase a sense of familiarity and prepare for the shooting.
Furthermore, Chen Mubai is the gold master + director + starring role, and the most popular hero. How to say this identity will get their attention.
The two leading actors of “Thor” and “The Hulk” have not met Chen Mubai. When the film started, Chen Mubai was busy with “Iron Man 2”, so he did not go to the scene, but gave them blessings through a video. .
This time, it was also the first time the two met Chen Mubai, and they acted a little cramped.
“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Chen is a very approachable person and it is not difficult to get along with.”
”Spider-Man” star Parker was chatting with the two of them, and the three of them were heading to the meeting place.
This gathering is a private event, initiated by Chen Mubai, mainly to let the actors participating in the show meet up and get to know each other.
The role of the superhero series selects actors from various countries around the world, so many people are not familiar with them, or even do not know them.
After all, not everyone is very famous and has a wide range of friends. In fact, some people before receiving this series are themselves a third-line actor, just a small celebrity, not a hot star.
The more famous people naturally have more people know, and everyone will know more. Even if they haven’t been in contact, they have heard of it, but if they are not famous, many people really don’t understand it, so get along in advance and increase The relationship between each other is conducive to the progress of the shooting.
Especially the superhero universe is a big IP, and everyone has to continue to cooperate. This gathering is an opportunity to build friendship with each other. It is a very good opportunity for actors who are not well-known themselves. They attach great importance to this gathering.
The entertainment circle is the social circle. This is also a social circle. Apart from Chen Mubai, the rest of the stars are also a resource. If you become friends, maybe you will have other cooperation in the future.
“I have heard about this, but I have not met Mr. Chen Mubai yet.”
“Me too, but through his works I can feel that he is not a difficult person.” The two nodded and replied.
Parker continued: “Yeah, when I first met him, he still joked with me, just like his character in the movie, he is a very good person!”
“There is no arrogance at all. I thought someone at his level would be somewhat arrogant. He was really peaceful, and he also guided me a lot and broke my inherent impression of him. I think his mentality is very young. Similar to me.”
Generally, stars or directors of Chen Mubai’s level have a certain degree of airiness. After all, their status and fame are there, and their aura is very strong. But Parker did not feel that aura in Chen Mubai, indicating that he himself is not a favorite. The show-off man.
This kind of person is very rare, so Parker is surprised and surprised. Young people prefer to get along with people with this personality.
”If you say that, I feel more relieved. I am afraid that my performance will not satisfy him.”
Actually, the three have just met each other recently. They have met on the Internet. Some fans like to discuss superheroes together, and inevitably they will compare the actors with the actors. Then they met.
Because everyone has taken this series of works and knows that there will be intersections later, so they take a little initiative in the process of communication, and the relationship between the three people is also harmonious.
“I don’t know what about’Captain Huaxia’?”
“I think the personality should be good, he and Mr. Chen Mubai are good friends, it should not be difficult to get along with.” Parker said.
Foreigners don’t understand the meaning of similarity, but everyone still has this common sense in their daily dealings. Generally, people who play together will not have much difference in personality, otherwise they will not become good friends.
Just like the three of them, although they are of different ages, they are not bad in all aspects of the three views, otherwise they will not get acquainted with each other quickly.
Superhero’s IP just provides them with a way to make friends. If they don’t like each other, they will definitely not make friends deliberately. No one wants to get along with people they hate.
If not, even if IPs will overlap each other, they can be treated as work. There is not a trace of superfluous intersections. This is not the case. The relationship between the protagonists of some movies is not good, and there is nothing to do with the shooting tasks during the shooting The communication, even the words are not spoken.
“I look forward to seeing you all together in a movie.”
“Yes, but I also have worries.” One person was worried.
“We have so many heroes in a movie, how will everyone’s roles be arranged? Maybe some characters will be sacrificed to become green leaves to set off other characters”
Involving core interests, the three of them did not answer for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. This is very likely to happen.
Especially the most popular character is “Iron Man”, he may also be the most outstanding in this movie, and “Captain China” is starring Chen Mubai’s friend, and the role should not be less.
In this way, they can only sacrifice “outsiders”.
This is true for both emotion and reason, and it is not unreasonable for them to speculate like this.
“Don’t be so mournful, it’s hard to say, think about it, everyone has a single-player movie, even if it is a little inferior in the group work, the single-player movie is still stable, and we are all famous for this work. Very lucky thing.” Parker broke the silence first, smiling and enlivening the atmosphere.
In fact, for him, he is already very contented. A “Spider-Man” has made him successful, and his fame and celebrity are directly on the front line. Compared to before, it is really much better!
Furthermore, “Spider-Man” is a popular hero second only to “Iron Man”. Even if he does not perform well in group movies, his influence is not that great.
“That said, the two of us are not as good as one kid.” said Chris, the actor of Thor.
“Yeah, I don’t want that much. It’s really lucky to be selected.”
Soon, the three of them converged their minds and came to the meeting place.
They came here in disguise, plus this is Huaxia, so no one recognizes them.
“Arrived?”
“welcome!”
Entering the hall, the three of them were immediately invited in, and everyone welcomed them.
“Hello.”
Before they came this time, they learned Chinese to say hello in order to improve their impression in everyone’s hearts.
I have to say that the effect was immediate. Seeing three foreign stars greet them in Chinese, everyone was very happy.
After a simple greeting, they came to a private room, which was filled with “Avengers” actors.
This hotel has been booked out today. It is filled with people from Mubai Entertainment, and the entire crew of “Avengers” are here.
“Hello, Director Chen!”
After the three entered the door, they greeted Chen Mubai first.
Chen Mubai has the highest status, so it is natural to greet him first. Chris and Edward saw Chen Mubai for the first time, and they were a little cautious.
Parker is okay, he is very happy: “Mr. Chen, meet again!”
“Hello, Parker.” Chen Mubai nodded toward Parker, then his gaze turned to the two and smiled and said: “Don’t be nervous, I don’t know how to eat people, just relax. I’m here to meet you today, and I will be shooting soon Already working.”
After that, everyone started to introduce themselves, and soon the atmosphere became hot.
“You are all muscle men.” Edward exclaimed as he looked at the figures of everyone.
“I don’t need it anymore. After transforming, I can’t see the original.”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing when Edward teased himself like this.
The Hulk does not appear in his body, so his muscles are really not important. Unlike the other heroes, who are all real bodies, muscle lines are still necessary.
“I didn’t expect Miss Yaoyao to be one of us!” Parker exclaimed.
“Yes, I thought she was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I didn’t expect to be a member of the Avengers!”
“There is also this “Eagle Eye”. There are a lot of people in the group.”
”When will we get the script?” Parker asked.
“After the party is over, everyone will get the script. You can prepare it in advance. After the press conference is over, it will be officially started.” Chen Mubai smiled.
Immediately, he looked at Parker. Parker was a little dazed by Chen Mubai’s eyes, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.
”Mr. Chen”
“Parker, this time before you play, you will play in the future. Calling you this time is to let you get acquainted with everyone first, as a preparation for the future.”
Parker “.”
The sadness is so great, but he has no defense at all.
He really didn’t know it would be the result.
“Haha.”
Everyone saw Parker’s confused and helpless expression, holding back a smile desperately.
“No wonder you didn’t notify me in advance of the available schedule.”
Parker just wondered why when Chen Mubai asked him to come to China, he did not let him make a schedule for the “Avengers”, so he didn’t have his role at all!
“It made me happy. I thought I could finally meet everyone.” Parker was a little helpless: “I’m looking forward to it.”
“Poor Parker” Chris smiled and patted Parker on the shoulder.
“We are all looking forward to it, we can only cooperate again next time, a bit regretful.” Edward also smiled at Parker and said.
Parker is the youngest person present, coupled with his likable character, everyone likes him quite a bit.
“Don’t cry, at least you “gathered” with us in advance, right?” Qian Duoduo also joined the ridicule camp.
Parker: “.”
You are all bad guys!
Unfortunately, the banquet was over. Chris and others got the script and went back to the room to rest.
Parker and Edward are both here, the relationship between the three of them is still relatively close, discussing the script.
“I thought we would have fewer scenes, so it looks like a lot!” Chris said.
Edward interface: “Yeah, Chen Mubai is indeed very courageous. He didn’t sacrifice any role and tried to balance as much as possible. It’s really rare.”
“Yes, I said Mr. Chen is not that kind of person. He is really different from ordinary people. He is not so selfish. Perhaps this is the reason why he can achieve what he is now.”
Parker smiled and said: “Think about it. If he is really selfish, he can give these characters to his company’s artists. There is no need to put them in the global audition. With the IP of the superhero series, it will become popular sooner or later, no ?”
“Yes.” The two nodded, no doubt there was him.
This is a solid fact. Both “Iron Man” and “Captain China” have had a good global response. They are all films produced by China. It is not the cooperation with Solomon that will deepen the influence of the work, but first the excellent works have an impact. , The cooperation with Solomon can only be said to indirectly expand the influence.
If Chen Mubaitie heart digests this huge IP by himself, then they can do it, and eventually they can reach this hot level, but it will take a little longer.
“Now, I am looking forward to this movie very much.”
“me too”
The next day, everyone attended the “Avengers” conference together.
When these stars appeared collectively, they shocked the world instantly and the heat exploded.
Any single hero has great reputation, let alone everyone attending together, this impact is incredible!
When Chen Mubai brought a group of creators to the press conference, the global focus was on them, and also on this work.
No way, superheroes are too popular. There are two of the top ten in the global box office rankings, and three of the top fifteen!
Not to mention that every work is a box office big seller, influence, popularity + box office integration, this popularity can be imagined.
There is another point. Chen Mubai has said that all heroes will be assembled, and everyone is looking forward to it. When this day does come, naturally you will be surprised and delighted and pay attention to this matter.
”Avengers” can be said to be the hottest movie at present, and it has received more attention than the original “Titanic”. After all, the number of superhero fans is too much, far from the average movie starring can match!
Although this movie has not been produced yet, it has already become popular in terms of topic and popularity!
