Chapter 349 Rules
This movie Marvel comic is not only to try the waters and accumulate popularity for subsequent works. Although Ryan is confident in Marvel's superhero, Marvel management only sets the comic fans' market targets. However, after the movie was released, the reaction of the audience was beyond their expectations.
Thriller, blood and American-style Hong Kong Kung Fu, as well as the hanging slow-motion bullet shots that are destined to be classics, plus the combination of beauty and cool men, have become topics that movie fans are talking about. Some people even believe that "Blade Warrior" can be regarded as a classic in action movies.
Although professional film critics are not interested in this kind of movie, they have made many sour comments such as "The only thing that attracts attention is tomato sauce and stupid fights". Unfortunately, most movie fans do not buy their accounts and go into the theater to enjoy this pure entertainment.
"We need to please the audience, not the so-called professionals. As long as the audience is willing to pay for tickets, let their reviews go to hell."
This is what Ryan said at the Marvel Senior Meeting after the box office debuted in the first week. "The Blade" is obviously a purely entertaining movie. If the critics insist on using artistic style to comment on it, it would be a big joke.
In this regard, what Ryan admires most is the later Michael Beer. Those film critics want to belittle his works to the Mariana Trench, but after experiencing a crushing defeat, Bei took the explosion to the extreme, and several large productions made the producers full of their pockets.
Ryan is very clear about his future positioning, that is, commercialization, and his efforts in films are also closely focused on commercialization.
For example, Scott's investment team has been focusing on the IT industry since the early 1990s and submitted a report for him every once in a while. Then Ryan looked for the names of companies or websites that he could remember, and the ones he would remember must be famous in his previous life.
Just last month, he found two familiar website names from Scott's report - IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, and then...
Then there was no expression. Ryan had no interest in these two websites. He was engaged in the theater industry in his previous life and knew very well about a lot of information that was only widely circulated in the industry.
These two websites can be said to be overrated typical examples. Their influence is not as great as imagined. Not to mention the School of Film Arts and Sciences, it is just the box office of the movie...
In the last year of my previous life, one of the most authoritative film institutions in the United States, through long-term observation and evaluation, it was found that the box office of the top 50 movies in the past decade had only 0.13 in terms of box office ratings between IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.
The most representative one is the "Transformers" series. The correlation dropped to -0.81, and the negative score means that the more fierce the film critics criticize, the more the box office will rise.
In Ryan's view, it is never the website and the critics who decide whether the quality of the movie is, but the choice of the audience.
Besides, the more controversial the production is, the more eye-catching it will attract, and the more profit it will often be.
"Blade Warrior" is the first movie produced by Marvel after all, and it is normal for the management to worry about it. When the box office was released in the first week, they put at least half of their hearts back.
The first week's box office was 34.5 million US dollars, directly kicking Leonardo's Mission: Impossible from the throne of the weekly box office rankings, which has occupied this position for three weeks, with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America, and also made Li a superstar.
Judging from the number of viewers that did not drop sharply in the second week, "Blade Warrior"'s box office of over 100 million in North America should be a very easy task. In addition, several overseas markets that have been confirmed to be introduced, you may be able to make tens of millions of dollars in profits based on box office alone.
Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief. The producer of this movie in his previous life was a new line, and this life was replaced by Marvel Pictures, which appeared in advance. He was somewhat worried, after all, this involved an investment of nearly $500 million, even though the debts of that year had already been paid off.
Now there is no surprise, the surprising management has also gained confidence in their children. Not only has it accelerated the preliminary planning of "X-Men", but it has also put "Blade 2" on the agenda.
The management of Marvel also understood Ryan's plan. As long as "Blade" and "X-Men" warm up the market, Marvel's biggest goal in the early new century will be - "Spider-Man"!
"Stan, I still meant before. In the plot, I added more intersections for Eric and Charles. For example, they once fought side by side and were very good friends. Charles was paralyzed because of Eric's accidental injury."
Holding up his mobile phone, Ryan waved to several friends, walked out of the tennis court in the manor, and kept communicating with Stan Lee, "Don't characterize Magneto as a villain. I asked someone to do market research. Eric has a very high popularity. A Magneto who fights for the interests of mutants, and is both good and evil will definitely be more popular."
He changed his hand to his mobile phone, "Although we are shooting a trilogy for the time being, we should prepare for the long term. As long as the entire series is popular, we can take out popular characters to make movies alone, and even shoot prequels in the future to tell their stories when they were young."
"Well, no problem. After confirming the outline, you can send it to my email." Ryan turned around and walked towards the tennis court, "Let's just do it for the time being."
Magneto Eric and Professor X Charles are a pair of good friends. In addition, the magic-shaped girl Riven, the plot of love and killing each other is enough.
Of course, Ryan has a long-term plan. In this era, Magneto and Professor X have a foundation, and the movie will only have a dead end.
Well... just add some interaction.
Thinking of these irrelevant things, Ryan returned to the tennis court, handed the phone back to George, and shouted to the two girls who were fighting, "Who lost?"
"I!"
Scarlett Johnson took the lead in raising his hand, walked over and handed Ryan the tennis racket, lowered his voice, "Show mercy, if Nat loses urgently..."
She squeezed her eyes, and it was full of naughtyness.
Ryan shrugged. After Natalie's birthday, Scarlett clearly saw the relationship between the two. Perhaps it was Natalie's advice, or perhaps it was because she had really grown up and matured and did not disclose it to anyone.
Walking to the serving area, Ryan touched the tennis ball in his pocket, slammed his hand a few times, and shouted to Natalie opposite, "Nate, let you see the strength of professional masters now."
"Stop talking big, Ryan." Natalie, with a ponytail, sorted out her sportswear and set off to catch the ball. "Your level can defeat Taylor at best."
"Impossible, he has never beaten me." Taylor's voice came from the rest area beside the tennis court.
"Dear, no one can win under the rules you set."
No online access or mobile, no service rights, and the most important thing is to use a table tennis racket. With such a rule, Agassi and Sampras will only lose.
Shaking his head, Ryan threw a light yellow tennis ball, swung out the racket, and the ball was arrested.
Hell! The corners of his mouth trembled.
"Fifteen to zero!" The blonde curly scored.
"Hey, a double-shot mistake is a point!" Ryan waved his mattress in dissatisfaction, and Taylor shouted indifferently, "Shouldn't men give in to ladies?"
"Hurry up, Ryan." Natalie knocked her shoes hard on her racket, "Or change me to serve?"
"Okay, okay!"
When picking up tennis, Ryan stood at the serving point again, just looking at the posture he was posing, he was definitely a professional master.
Although he did not have professional training as he said, Ryan's level is good in his amateurs. As long as the ball is not caught or out of bounds, Natalie rarely receives his serve and return.
"Fifteen to forty, Nat, you have to work hard, otherwise you will lose." Taylor and Scarlett encouraged each other.
"Stop, Ryan!" Natalie raised her hand and interrupted Ryan's ready serve, "I ask... 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 want to change the racket?" Natalie smiled sly, "I mean you change the racket, change to a table tennis racket."
After saying that, she turned to the sidelines, "Taylor, send Ryan's special racket over."
"immediately!"
The little blonde girl jumped off the seat and ran over in a flash. In Ryan's stunnedness, she snatched away the tennis racket and stuffed it into a table tennis racket.
"this……"
Ryan looked at the tennis ball in his left hand, then looked at the red racket in his right hand, and then gritted his teeth and threw the tennis ball.
"Thirty to forty..."
"Forty to forty..."
"It's divided now!"
"Wow, Nat, you got the final time!"
The result of the game is conceivable. After Ryan walked off the tennis court, Taylor replaced him. When he sat in the rest area, she shouted the so-called rules to the opposite side, and Natalie's face was covered in black.
"Where is Christine?" Ryan was a little surprised. The tomboy always liked to follow Taylor's butt.
"She's on the crew." Scarlett Johnson put the juice on the table next to Ryan, "Aunt Julis found a role for her."
"A movie called "Little Beautiful Man"." She added.
"So that's the case." Ryan nodded.
This is a very normal thing. My mother and friends and relatives around me are well-known people in the circle. Entering Hollywood will naturally become the first choice. Moreover, the origin of a noble family is a great advantage and resource.
"Ryan, I haven't said thank you yet." Scarlett has passed Sofia Coppola's audition.
"You're welcome, Ska, we're friends."
Ryan waved his hand indifferently, and then saw Lisa come over with a weird expression, "Ryan, someone is here to visit you."
