Chapter 714 Treat career as seriously as life
Regarding the first phase of the universe plan of Marvel, Ryan gave some comments, most of the content was Marvel's team responsible for adjusting and following up the writing. Although the Easter Egg that just finished filming only has one page of the script, it gave him the feeling that Steve Rogers and Natasha Normanov were going to get together.
This voice has been very strong on the Internet since the release of "Captain America". It seems that two young grandpas and handsome grandma-level beauties are very flirting with movie fans.
Within Walt Disney, Ryan has always advocated that business is the first priority for various production companies. It is hard to say whether the two people will be put together because of the strong appeal of movie fans. After all, superhero movies focus on the voice of the market first, and adapting to the market is also a necessary trend.
Having said that, according to the setting of this universe in this life, the two of them are both monster-level, so it is really hard to find someone to match them.
I still remember Black Widow’s famous saying - falling in love is a game for children - I don’t know if surprise will be added.
The films currently launched by Marvel Pictures have performed well overall. Even the Hulk, which has a global box office of only $400 million, is close to recovering costs through various post-production copyrights. The first episode of the "X-Men" series and "Captain America" can basically recover costs through box office, and the later derivatives are almost all profitable.
This situation also made Jing Qi very confident. In addition to the "Iron Man" series that was focused on creating, "Thor" has also been put on the agenda by them. The script has been written and is in the final revision stage. Now the candidates for directors and main actors are being selected.
According to the plan of Marvel, the first Avengers will definitely be released by 2010.
In addition, Marvel is also preparing for a separate Wolverine series, and has started negotiations with Hugh Jackman. The new X-Men series has also been included in their agenda and will tell the story between Magneto, Professor X and the Magic Girl from a new perspective.
As long as it is profitable, these superhero movies will continue to appear on the big screen.
Comics and toy movies are definitely commercial movies that occupy an important market share in the next ten years. As far as Ryan knows, after the success of "Wonder Woman", DC Comics is also preparing to plan the Justice League series.
This summer, "Return of Superman" created by Warner Bros. and DC Comics will also be released. The film is currently very powerful. Its single-film production cost is as high as 270 million US dollars, making it the highest production cost of all time.
In fact, at the top of Hollywood, some news is no secret at all. Time Warner raised a total of $350 million in advance for the film, but $50 million is all going through the bumpy road of changing scripts, directors, and actors. Although Brian Singer only spent $270 million to complete all productions. But including the promotional and marketing expenses that must be invested, "Return of Superman" is definitely the most expensive movie in history.
The original comics movie was dominated by the DC company. After the rapid rise of Marvel and continuous success, Time Warner naturally wanted to share delicious cakes from the market. He invested huge amounts of money for this.
Especially the success of "Wonder Woman" made them understand that DC's comic heroes are not outdated.
How much was the box office of "Return of Superman" in his previous life?
Sitting on the plane to the Hawaiian Islands, Ryan was still recalling the memories of this movie in his mind. He couldn't remember the box office in North America. He vaguely remembered that the global box office was less than 400 million US dollars...
If the box office in this life is still so miserable, how long will Warner take to operate later to recover the cost? Ten or twenty years?
The sound of gentle footsteps rang out. Ryan turned his head and saw Taylor walking into the front cabin with a big Winnie Bear, sitting opposite him, and yawning a small yawn.
"Why did you wake up so quickly?"
Ryan waved to the bar, and immediately a flight attendant brought two cups of coffee. Taylor picked it up and took a sip, then said, "I have been flying around in the airplane recently, and it is difficult to fall asleep."
"Alison..."
Seeing the girl's last bit of baby fat cheeks, Ryan felt a little distressed, "Dear, you can reduce some notices."
"I understand that even if I do nothing, I can live happily without any grudges."
Putting down the coffee cup, Taylor grabbed the platinum curly hair tied into a ponytail and said, "But this is my career. I still remember that you told me a few years ago that you should work hard as hard as you treat your own career."
"Dear, you're really grown up." Ryan had wanted to reach out to rub her head, but he immediately took it back, "We're all proud of you."
"Why don't you build an airport on Lanai?"
The plane was about to land, Taylor tied up his seat belt, leaned over to the porthole, looked at the gradually enlarged scenery below, and said, "Every time I come here, I have to change to a helicopter. It's so troublesome."
"Building an airport is not that easy." Ryan also tied up his seat belt, "It only takes more than ten minutes to change a helicopter."
The Boeing plane landed at Hawaii International Airport on Oahu. Ryan and his group changed into helicopters and flew directly to Lanai Island, which was not too far away.
Now is the peak tourist season in Hawaii. On the sea, you can see yachts and ferries coming and going. After Ryan bought Lanai Island, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to improve some infrastructure, and the tourism environment has been greatly improved, especially several natural rainforests and golf clubs built on the beach, attracting more and more tourists.
In addition, the island is expanding a Jurassic Park. One of the most well-known aspects of this island is the location of the video "Jurassic Park".
Lanai has also formed its own tourism industry. Although the annual output is only enough to barely maintain expenses, the island's more than 2,000 residents are the most direct beneficiaries, and the tourism industry can bring them enough income.
Of course, in addition to tourism, there is also a pineapple garden, Lanai Island is one of the largest pineapple production areas in the world.
After the helicopter landed, Ryan and Taylor found Nicole in the pineapple garden.
"Can I touch it?"
After saying hello, the three of them walked into the wooden house on the side of the pineapple garden. Taylor looked at Nicole's erect belly mischievously and sat on the chair and swayed, "Is this a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know yet."
After Elsa put the mat, Nicole sat on the backrest chair with Ryan's support, "Dear, do you want an extra brother or sister?"
"I am an aunt!" Taylor clenched his fists, waved hard, and stressed, "Nicole, I am an aunt!"
"Then you just be an aunt."
After picking up a fresh pineapple, Ryan stuffed it directly to Taylor, "The peeling work is left to you."
"Okay, okay."
Taylor had just picked up the knife, and Elsa had already walked over from the side and took the pineapple from her hand, "I'll do it."
"Elsa." Taylor pouted slightly, "My technology has improved."
"Did you forget?" Nicole's butler raised a hand and pointed it out. "When you came last month, you cut your fingers and Lily's fingers."
"Ah, where is that little devil Lily? Mo Xin?" Taylor seemed to remember something, "She should still be on the island, right?"
"She's in class." Nicole was talking, she kept holding Ryan's hand beside her, "It's about half an hour before get out of class is over."
"Kate has figured it out?" Ryan tied Nicole's falling blond hair behind her head. "She is sure to let Lily be an actor?"
"Lily has a good talent." Nicole nodded slightly, "her starting point is also high enough, and there are advantages that most people do not have."
Ryan also understood that Nicole's words, that in the future, he and Nicole's goddaughter would be enough to crush most actors of the same period.
Besides, the descendants of quite a few Hollywood celebrities will take the same or similar path as their parents, which is actually very common in various industries in North America.
Moreover, Lily Moshin has already made guest appearances in many Disney films or series. As long as the age of sixteen to twenty-five, there will be no situation like Lindsay and Lohan. Even if you cannot become a first-line movie star, it is not very difficult to become a well-known actor.
Then, Nicole talked about some basic situations of the goddaughter Lily Mo Xin.
Like Taylor and the Stewart family tomboy, she began to receive family education after Kate Beckinsale filed with relevant institutions. In addition to her daily cultural class, she also had half an hour of performance classes.
Kate Beckinsale is a smart woman who knows that she will never make any difference in acting in her life, so she naturally doesn't want her daughter to become a pure vase like her in the future.
After tasting the pineapple produced in her own pineapple garden, several people left the wooden house and walked towards the manor. The road was not too far. Nicole didn't want to take the electric car. Ryan and Taylor accompanied her one left and one right, shuttled between the stone road surrounded by palm trees.
“The air here is nice and the scenery is beautiful.”
Looking at the sea and villas that were faintly visible in the distance, Taylor seemed to sigh, "I really want to rest here for a month."
"It's May." Nicole patted her on the back with a doting look, "You should live here with me."
"Is the due date in May?" Taylor seemed to know a lot.
"Late May," Ryan replied.
"That's good." Taylor held Nicole's arm intimately, "Anyway, new records will be released in the second half of the year. I will move here in May to live with you."
"We will mark Lanai as a penalty area by then." She turned her royal blue eyes, "No one else, including Ryan, can enter." (To be continued...)
