How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 759: This is not the one I’ve seen [Avatar 2]

US$5078 million, US$3704.5 million, US$2920.1 million.

In the first three days in North America, [Spider-Man: Homecoming], a new work that is based on the core IP of Sony Columbia Pictures and is colored by the Marvel Studios movie universe plan, has grossed US$1.17 million. box office.

The performance of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is even higher than the North American first-week box office performance of "Transformers 4", which was screened for more than days and has now grossed over one billion US dollars globally.

For a while.

Both Marvel Studios and Sony Columbia Pictures breathed a sigh of relief.

The former Marvel Studios is relieved that in the third phase of its own movie universe plan, it is relieved that it can finally have a cheap core after getting rid of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.

After all, Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" was the groundbreaking work for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No matter how successful Marvel Studios' movie universe plan is, Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man" is like eating it. For shareholders of original stocks, it is difficult to predict whether they will make a profit without losing money.

But projects and characters like Holland’s Spider-Man that join the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan midway are easy to mess with.
And Marvel Studios is not stupid. They know how much influence Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man has on the movie universe plan.

[Iron Man] was rashly removed from the movie universe, so the impact must be on their bigger movie universe plans.

but……

Marvel Studios has officially launched the [Avengers 4] project, and the script selected is the version without Iron Man.

So now [Avengers 3] is almost finished filming.

In front of the 20th Century Fox headquarters building.

Without it.

For film and television companies, no matter how shameless they are, they just need to make money.

……

It’s just that Marvel Studios is trying to see if it can cultivate a new generation of core before [Avengers 3] is released.

There is a high probability that the cumulative box office of [Spider-Man: Homecoming] will cross the billion-dollar box office threshold.

Although the core of this ballast stone is the same as the previous ballast stone.

If it can be cultivated, then Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man will definitely have to die in the movie.

I had originally planned to return to the mainland and wait until July to watch the crazy killing spree of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the mainland movie market, but now I had no choice but to come to the door of th Century Fox Pictures.

The latter, Sony Columbia Pictures, breathed a sigh of relief because it was fortunate that the third version of [Spider-Man] was finally produced.

And now the first-week box office of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" slightly exceeds the first-week box office of Zhang Nan's "Transformers 4" in North America.

But if it can't be cultivated, then Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man will most likely survive for several more movies.

They finally have a series that can serve as ballast for the company's stock.

However, [Avengers 3], which is obviously a sequel to [Avengers 3] and is very closely related to the plot of [Avengers 4], has yet to have a finalized script.

James Cameron and 2th Century Fox Pictures President Odo Ryder invited him to come over to discuss the matter of "Avatar ". It was a project with a box office of more than billion US dollars, and he had no choice but to come.

only……

"21st Century Fox Pictures, am I in the wrong place, but this is the headquarters building of st Century Fox Pictures."

Zhang Nan got off the car and walked to the entrance of Twentieth Century Fox Pictures. Facing the sign of Twentieth Century Fox Pictures, he asked James Cameron who came to pick him up with some confusion. Because the company name was originally 20th Century Fox Pictures, but now it has become 21st Century Fox Pictures.

After hearing what Zhang Nan said, James Cameron looked a little embarrassed and explained: "Zhang, this is it. Twentieth Century Fox Pictures changed its name some time ago."

"Why do you want to change the name? The extent of the change is too embarrassing, isn't it big or small, just change an Arabic numeral? Anyone who doesn't pay attention won't realize it." Zhang Nan was still puzzled.

James Cameron was even more embarrassed after hearing this, but he still explained to Zhang Nan.

The reason why Twentieth Century Fox Pictures wanted to change its name was because it felt that it had already entered the 21st century for so many years, but the company's business has been stagnant since the turn of the millennium.

So I felt that the name of my company should be limiting the performance of my company, so I applied for a new name that fits the times.

Of course.

Although the name has been changed, the soup does not change the medicine.

Employees, executives, important partners...etc. are still the same people.

"Are you so superstitious?" Zhang Nan was still confused.

James Cameron was no longer embarrassed, and instead complained to Zhang Nan: "Aren't you the same? Aren't you superstitious with the title of box office mascot on your head?"

“My name was given to me by the media.

Moreover, with such a name at the time, I was raising my film remuneration prices like crazy, and I was receiving endless film offers.

Moreover, my next film appointments and the final projects were all box office hits, and there are facts to prove it, so it is not superstitious;
But for 20th Century Fox Pictures, other than spending more money to change their own sign and logo, are there any benefits? Zhang Nan retorted.

James Cameron was speechless when Zhang Nan retorted.

Because after Twentieth Century Fox Pictures changed its name, apart from causing some negative turmoil within the company, it did not produce any other positive effects.

On the contrary, 20th Century Fox Pictures now has more than 10 billion US dollars in debt.

He was urged to get [Avatar 2] out quickly, otherwise the company would have to be acquired by Disney Pictures.

……

In the conference room.

After Zhang Nan opened the project plan and script for "Avatar 2", he was a little confused.

Because Zhang Nan didn't know that after the release of "The Wandering Earth 1", he caused such a shock to James Cameron that James Cameron completely changed the script.

So after seeing this [Avatar 2] script that was completely different from what he had seen in his original time and space, people were a little confused.

The entire movie has changed from continuing the story line of "Avatar 1" and telling the theme of environmental issues to the story line before "Avatar 1" and telling the theme of interstellar war.

Zhang Nan's identity has also changed from the disabled protagonist to the protagonist's dead brother.

Fortunately, this change logically makes sense.

Because in [Avatar 1], the protagonist can replace his brother's Avatar because the protagonist and his brother are very similar genetically.
