However, Black Widow is just a guest role in the Marvel movie, and has not yet been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so this impact is not huge.

Compared with Disney's total investment of only more than $50 million, the film's first week's box office was a huge success. It won $41.3 million in more than 3,850 theaters in three days on the weekend. In just ten days, the film's North American box office exceeded $80 million, and from the box office trend, the final North American box office is even expected to exceed $150 million.

This is a small box office miracle now when traditional action movies are in decline.

"So, the most touching girl is still the one."

Sitting in the car heading to San Francisco, Ryan discussed the movie released some time ago with Charlize, who was beside him. "A beautiful girl can overturn a city and trigger a war."

"You're not twenty-six years old yet?"

Charlize tilted his head and looked at him with a strange look, "Is there a Lolita complex now?"

"Or..." A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of the American South African diamond, "Which girl do you like?"

"Hey, my dear." Ryan spread his hands out of dissatisfaction, "I just felt it."

"I know." Charlize deliberately showed a clear look, "You are going to be a father, and you will definitely feel a lot."

After returning to Los Angeles from Paris, although Charlize was not as sharp as Natalie did, he would occasionally raise this topic, and Ryan could only try to comfort him. After all, people are not puppets, and human hearts are also the most difficult thing to measure in the world.

The black Rolls-Royce turned around the San Francisco Bay and finally stopped in front of the Letterman Digital Art Center, where the famous Industrial Light and Magic is located.

Ryan was invited by Michael Bay. After two months of hard work, the special effects team of Blast and Industrial Light and Magic successfully created Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime's same-scale model and shrink model. Although the robots in the film will be made using CG, just like Iron Man's suit, the model is also indispensable in shooting.

"Hi, Michael."

As soon as he walked into the huge factory of Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan saw Michael Bay and others standing in front of several model robots. After greeting the people who came up, he hugged George Lucas at the end.

"George, you look a lot fatter."

"Because I don't have to worry about the movie being a big hit." George Lucas waved to Charlize on the other side, "Hi Charlie, I heard that your costumes and candies are very popular."

"It's okay." Charlize gently held George Lucas's hand.

She knew her position very well, just stood aside with Ryan in her arms and rarely spoke.

"This is the final sample that combines Hasbro's opinion shape."

Everyone walked under the huge robot model, and Michael Bay gave a brief introduction. "If you don't object, Ryan, future shooting, CG production and derivative manufacturing, will use these models as the basic template."

Although it was the first time I saw the real thing, the electronic images of Autobots and Decepticons had been passed on to him, and Ryan also agreed to these designs. Overall, there was not much difference from the shapes in his previous life, such as bumblebee with puppy eyes and Optimus Prime, which was mainly blue and red.

In other words, it is certain to destroy some people's childhood memories.

However, changing the image in cartoons is a necessary choice. Times are changing, and movies will definitely change accordingly.

“We have reached an agreement on the battle scenes of Transformers.”

Levin Brightman, the head of Industrial Light and Magic, talked about the progress of special effects work. "After the robot completes the final computer design, the special effects work can begin. We will synchronize with the shooting of the video, and some personnel from the special effects team will also participate in the shooting of the video throughout the process."

Nodded. Ryan looked at Michael Bay again, "How did I think about my last proposal?"

"I communicated with Levine." Michael Bay and others nodded and said, "Some scenes in the film are made using imax3d technology, which will definitely enhance the visual impact, but the production cost of the film will definitely exceed $150 million."

He said cautiously, "Ryan, I need at least $20 million."

"None of these are the problems." Ryan waved his hand, "There will be advertisers to pay for us."

This is not an exaggeration at all. During the preparation period, many sponsorship contracts have been signed. There are more than twenty advertisers from small to beer, mobile phones, beverages, chewing gum, computers, cars, trucks, and department stores.

Especially the Autobot, who is the absolute protagonist, can be regarded as the focus of competition among car manufacturers.

In the end, General Motors packed iron sheets, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and two other robots for advertising fees of $20 million, involving several brands such as its Chevrolet, and also provided the crew with 300 GM old cars and empty shell cars for shooting.

Lamborghini received sponsorship contracts for several other robots such as Jazz, and would also provide sports car models to destroy, and paid $10 million in advertising fees for this.

In addition, a small business jet was added to the Crazy Robot, and Gulfstream took the initiative to pay out a $8 million sponsorship contract, and the Autobot Studio will definitely not refuse.

As eBay and Google, which will appear frequently in the film, the studio also received a total of $6 million in advertising fees from them.

In fact, the film has not started yet. With the title of a commercial production led by Ryan, the Autobot Studio recovered nearly $60 million in terms of advertising alone. Disney, as an independent investor, is not under great pressure, and it is not difficult to get another $20 million.

What's more, new sponsorship contracts and pre-sale negotiations are underway.

Of course, Ryan repeatedly reminded Michael Bay to pay attention to the methods of advertising implantation, and not as simple, rough and direct as the last few movies in his previous life.

In other words, this is an advertising blockbuster full of visual impact. The most important promotional targets are naturally Autobots and Decepticons. Their toy models and various other derivatives are the focus of the film's profitability.

When leaving the huge factory, Michael Bella Ryan and landed at the end of the team with him, obviously having something to say.

"Ryan, can you make a request?"

Compared to the past, after experiencing the failure of "Escape from the Cloned Island", Blast Be obviously modest, "about the actors."

Ryan made a gesture of asking for help.

"I've seen auditions for Zach Efron and Alessandra Ambrosho."

Michael Bay talks about the tentative male and female protagonists of the film. "I don't think Zach Efron is suitable for the male protagonist. He is much shorter than Amberho. In addition, his aura in the camera is too weak and he is completely suppressed by Alessandra Amberho."

"What about your suggestions?" Ryan thought for a moment. Zach Efron was a little star in his previous life, and in this life he was just a little actor signed by Disney, and he had almost no impression.
