Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2187

Lin Daoqiu remembered that some media magazines conducted surveys in later generations, and the survey items were the most popular superheroes of Marvel and DC, as well as the most popular superheroes.

On Marvel's side, Spiderman, Captain America, and Wolverine rank in the top three, while on DC's side, Batman, Superman, and Nightwing rank among the top three superheroes.

Combining the rankings of the two, the top three in the final comprehensive voting result are Batman, Spiderman, and Superman.

But this is the ranking of later generations, and the third-ranked Superman has been frozen because of poor box office.

Now Lin Daoqiu is preparing to shoot "Spiderman", while Warner is preparing to shoot "Batman". It can be said that the two most popular characters of Marvel and DC will directly collide next year.

After Ashley learned that Lin Daoqiu would invest huge sums of money in the filming of two superhero series movies this year, he finally chose to raise the original budget of 500 million to 8000 million, just hoping not to lose too much by then. awful.

After all, once Marvel takes off, DC Comics will definitely be greatly affected, so what Ashley wants to do is to reduce the impact on DC Comics as low as possible.

As long as he can survive this period of time, once Lin Daoqiu develops the superhero manga market, Warner will naturally be able to eat some meat with Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu has already learned from Langmeyer that Warner is shooting "Batman", but he doesn't know that Ashley has raised the budget to 8000 million.

But even if Lin Daoqiu knew it, he wouldn't have any special feelings. Although the more money, the better the final effect will be, but whether Tim Burton can withstand the pressure to make "Batman" well is still a question. It's really a big question mark.

And after choosing "Spider-Man" as his first movie, Lin Daoqiu had to choose a superhero to shoot.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu decided to shoot "Captain America" ​​for the second superhero movie.

Although "Spider-Man" and "Captain America" ​​are both superheroes under Marvel, the characters and themes of the two films are completely different.

"Spider-Man" Stan Lee and painter Steve Ditko jointly created a superhero.

Peter Parker's parents died since he was a child, and his uncle and aunt adopted him. When the story begins, he is studying in high school. He has excellent grades but did not do well in school. He likes other people's girlfriends but is always rejected.

Because he is too shy and introverted and often immersed in the world of science, everyone calls him Peter the nerd, and they don't want to play with him, and he is often bullied by Thompson of the school football team, and even gives him "insignificant Parker". "This humiliating nickname for him.

Peter wanted to invite his classmates to visit the science exhibition after school, but everyone laughed at him and left him for a ride alone.

When he was alone visiting the public exhibition of nuclear tests, Peter Parker was bitten by a spider infected by radiation. After returning home, he found that he had acquired superpowers similar to spiders, and he could move effortlessly on any object. It also has a keen super-sensory "spider sense" for crawling.

This is the first time Marvel has created a superhero story with a teenager as its main character, and many adults who went to school or have previous experiences similar to Peter will be drawn to his experience.

It has to be said that the character of "Spider-Man" designed by Stan Lee became very popular once it was launched, because everyone has more or less experienced what Peter encountered in the comics when they were young.

But it is a pity that they are not as lucky as Peter, who can become a superhero Spider-Man, but can only be bullied by others, and then grow up slowly.

Although there is no way to go back to childhood to make up for the previous regrets, they can still put their love in the comics and watch how Peter relies on Spider-Man's skills to win everything that belongs to him.

So Lin Daoqiu chose "Spider-Man" as the first work to adapt the Marvel movie. It can be said that he has thought carefully.

Because this movie is positioned as a movie that can be watched from teenagers to adults, and there will be no bloody and violent scenes in it.

The emergence of "Spider-Man" is only to punish the bad guys. Unlike most superheroes, he doesn't need to do too bloody things. Basically, he focuses on punishment and will not take the initiative to kill people.

And this just happens to broaden the audience for this movie, so that everyone can go to the theater to watch this movie.

As for the second film "Captain America", Lin Daoqiu also made this choice after careful selection.

This is a movie with a North American theme. The story is about a thin young man, Steve Rogers, who wanted to serve his country but was rejected. He has an opportunity to let him participate in the "Rebirth Project".

After weeks of testing, Steve Rogers was injected with super-soldier serum and bombarded with ultraviolet light, finally possessing the most perfect body a human being could have.

Then he received physical and tactical training, and three months later, he got his first assignment as "Captain America." Armed with an indestructible shield and a tactical mind, he plunged into the fight against the forces of evil. , defended freedom, and became the leader of the superhero group "Avengers".

Although they are both weak protagonists, the time and space environments in which Spider-Man and Captain America are located are completely different, and the people and things they encounter are also completely different.

Spider-Man became a superhero passively, while Captain America took the initiative to participate in the rebirth plan.

Although they are both superheroes, the highlights of these two movies are completely different. One side is full of youth, and the other side is mainly about the battlefield.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu won't exaggerate the atmosphere of the battlefield too much, after all, he doesn't intend to make any war blockbuster.

Since it is a comic, it needs to be adapted to find some powerful villains for Captain America, and the original plot of "Captain America" ​​will naturally be slightly adapted.

Of course, Lin Daoqiu is now the boss of Marvel, and he can change whatever he wants. Others have no right to oppose him on this matter.

And judging from Lin Daoqiu's qualifications and prestige in the film industry, I believe Stan Lee will not say anything about it if he is in charge of adapting the script. After all, not only in Hollywood, but even in other parts of the world, there is no one People dare to say that the scripts they write can reach the level of Lin Daoqiu, or even come close to him.
