Another week.

On the film market.

When "Tsunami Miracle" earned a total of 53.2 million US dollars worldwide, the weekly report of "Green Lantern" was less than 9 million, with a total of 131 million yuan.

This is the second week of Tsunami Miracle and the third week of Green Lantern. There is no doubt that the Green Lantern project has been declining rapidly across the world. Not only that, Warner did not even give any useful publicity.

Of course, the fact that Warner's DC expansion market failed was actually not very exciting, or anything else.

Lehman knew very well that they gave up so quickly and even called courageous, which just reflects that Time Warner Group is preparing for DCEU in a intensive manner.

The priority level of resource betting and project establishment is much higher than before, so they no longer care about a project that was sentenced to death. They just want to divert their energy and continue to develop the next step, such as Superman.

On the other side, Marvel was carrying out the second wave of mobilization in a clear pace.

The projects to be developed under the plan include "Iron Man 3", "Invincible Hulk 2", "Aquaman" and the second collection node "Ultron Crisis", which has been laid out, and continues to create and sort out the third wave of scripts about the "civil war" incident.

Compared to DC, Marvel is obviously more busy. While sifting the crew, Kevin is working with Marvel Entertainment to open new roles for the toy sector. The entire distribution system established around Marvel copyright is very busy.

Another day.

Kevin Feige is discussing with the screenwriter team how to reasonably arrange elements such as treasure hunting and growth into the framework set by the big boss for "Aquaman". As soon as the meeting was disbanded, the assistant came to report: "President, Director Marshall is here."

"Well, please invite him to my office and I'll come right away."

After a while, the two met.

After some politeness, this editor and director have all had the qualifications to show off. The director, who was once the deputy director of Industrial Light and Magic Visual Effects, was very eager to get the director of "Invincible Hulk 2".

There is no way, in 10 years, he wrote and directed, and spent 12 million yuan in production of the British Magnolia Pictures to get only 6.89 million yuan in box office after the screening of the historical thriller "Centurion", which he had to honestly go to various TV stations to become an episode director, in order to return to the film industry.

This time, receiving Marvel's invitation was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for him personally to save his film director career. No, it should be a very safe thigh to hold.

What is the strength of Mann Media? Can it be compared to a small company like Magnolia Pictures?

For Kevin, the reason why he chose him after careful screening was that he had not only been interested in this professional background and stayed at Industrial Light and Magic for nearly 6 years, but also had the experience that Marvel directors who were more in line with his ideals in all aspects were the visual imagination that he showed in his first film "Doom Invasion".

Works adapted from American comics still require some imagination to be well filmed.

"You've seen the shooting outline."

Speaking of serious matters, Kevin also became a little serious, "I hope you have any ideas beyond the script to communicate with us first, you should understand what I mean."

Neil is white and fat and has a good personality, but when he heard that the other party did not ask about his thoughts on the script, even if he had heard about the other party's deeds in the circle in advance, he was silent and immediately smiled, "This is a big project, I won't do anything randomly."

"Okay, we have communicated with your agent in terms of salary. What I want to say now is that if the box office of the movie reaches expectations, we will also have a generous reward above the basic salary of 500,000." Kevin introduced, "Anyway, the crew will get a lot of results. Work harder."

"Can I bring a few people into the group by myself?" Marshall asked.

"you say?"

"One photography, two fine arts and one deputy director."

"We have already chosen the main photography, and yours can only be the deputy. There is no problem with the rest. Art is short of people."

"Then what is the shooting cycle of this movie?"

"The props and costumes are already being prepared, and the actors are being selected." Kevin gave an approximate time, "So... it will be started almost before the New Year. Remember to confirm with the production team if you have any supplies you need."

"I'm fine."

Neil Marshall greeted Kevin and left with tactfulness.

When he left the building and looked back at the towering building, he was inexplicably a little lonely.

Even though he knew that Marvel's crew would not accommodate other commanders, he had psychological construction and had no right to interfere in matters of big and small, but he didn't even need the preparations. Is he also a director?

Ha ha.

The director is so easy, it's so easy.

In the bustling streets, a middle-aged fat man laughed for a long time, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

...

"Game of Thrones" was completed in mid-November and then slowly evacuated from Iceland.

After leaving the airport, Jason Momoa was feeling that the city was more suitable for him than the tundra, and the agent was already anxiously pulling him into the car.

“Where are you going?”

“Marvel Studios.”

"Um?"

On the car.

Jason Momoa listened to the excited words of the agent and was flipping through some comic materials. After reading it, his mood was indescribably complicated.

What's wrong with this world?

You said I am a third-rate model and supporting actor. I feel lucky to be selected as the "King of Horses" because of my fierce appearance. As a result, as soon as I finished filming a big drama, Marvel sent him an invitation to the role of "Aquaman"?

It's really amazing.

...

When Kevin saw him for the first time, he felt that the boss was indeed right.

His appearance is very "recognizable" in the circle. Perhaps he just finished filming "The Horse King" and stayed in the tundra and the wasteland for a long time, and he still had a rough feeling on his body.

"Does the tattoo on your arm mean?" Kevin chatted with him affectionately.

Jason Momoa is 1.93 meters tall, with a strong muscle, with a beard and hair that is grown from filming. She is also one head taller than Kevin while sitting, but at this moment, the aura of the two is reversed.

"Uh...my grandfather is an indigenous native of Hawaii Island. This is the symbol of our patron saint." He lifted his shirt and had multiple triangles on both sides of the ribs, like fish scale tattoos. "It looks like the teeth of a shark, right? The patron saint of our family is a shark."

"it's great."

When Kevin heard that he had also studied marine biology in the Florida Islands, he was even more satisfied. "You have a high relationship with this character, which made me wonder if there is a real fate in this world."

Kevin held his forehead and pondered for a while, "Okay, I don't feel that I need to examine anything. If you can play the role well, then there is no problem with this role. The performance directions of the two are very similar. Well, you still have to continue to gain muscle."

"If there is no problem, I will negotiate with your agent for the pay issue. You can prepare for fitness and join the group."

In this way, the starring of "Aquaman" is as follows-

Male Pole: Jason Moma

Female number one: Ou Jia Kerilanko (the 22nd National Girl, French-Ukrainian, not inferior to the scheming girl)

Male supporter: King Oum, Matthew Goody (British young actor, played the role of Pharaoh)

Male supporter: Bat Spray, Oma Xi (worked with Lehmann "Unt Touch", French and African)

Casino representatives: Morica Beluchi plays Queen Atlantis; Temula Morrison plays the lighthouse guardian, the queen's human husband...

************

Perhaps it was the good luck brought by the smooth preparations of "Aquaman". When Wan Ziren's soul-suming universe's "Louching" was released, it was better than the market feedback of "Saw" which made it stunningly debut at the time, and it has been recognized by many viewers.

Just like a certain audience commented on Rotten Tomatoes: There are many ghosts in this movie, but only one person died, but this does not hinder the sense of layering of the movie. Director Wen is always surrounded by a fear of evil ghosts everywhere.

This fear brings the audience not the fear of standing at a high altitude and walking on a tightrope, but the grey color that cannot be lost in their minds when they are asleep at midnight.

Of course, compared to the establishment of the Soul-Summoning Universe, this work can take away 8.76 million in less than a thousand cinemas, which surprises some practitioners even more.

You should know that the production cost of "Luxing" is only 11 million, and most of it is the basic salary of Director Wen and Lei Wonal. It is difficult for the small cost to leverage the benefits of the large film market to become a hot topic in the circle.

Following the second and third day, the box office rose steadily, with a small-scale release for three days, winning 13.57 million in the first weekend box office, and the cumulative momentum of harvest quickly exceeded the production cost.

For viewers, or for horror fans, the appearance of "Luxing" is delightful at the end of 11 years, and it also tells those picky people who have complained about Director Wen because of repeated rehearsals, what is surprise.

"The best horror movies in recent years, no one."

"It seems that Director Wan Ziren is going to take over the title of contemporary horror master. The angle of the mirror and the method of creating atmosphere are so exquisite. Even if the rhythm of the first half of the play is a little slow, the later part is still powerful, and there is also the awesome ending of the reversal. It is very worth watching!"

"The puppet lens has a chainsaw and a dead feel, which is very terrifying, plus a twists and turns of the plot, and a reversal ending... Anyway, for me, it is a masterpiece of horror films that have not appeared for a long time. Even if people watch it around in broad daylight, the sudden few ghost scenes scared my heart to beat fast, and the ingenuity of linkages, these designs even give me an experience of entering this ghost world in person."

"Just as the film crew promotes, Director Wen will play in the Soul-Summoning Universe."

"There were too many preparations in the early stage, and the rhythm was not very smooth. The only disadvantage."

"I hope the shooting of the Soul Conjuring Universe will be better.ps: As soon as Mary Xiao appeared, the exorcist drove her to help Jack enter the soul world to save the child's soul. I thought she had surrendered, but there was a reversal at the end. Jack was possessed and killed the exorcist. The plot change is really exquisite."

"Full marks. The design of summoning souls is amazing, giving me the feeling of the three laws of robots."

On IMDB, the average score of "Luxing" is 71,000,000 people participated. The high ones are not high, and the low ones are above 6 points, which shows that most people's judgment is very pertinent.

It is a classic and small-themed masterpiece. If you say how classic it is, it won’t be.

...

"Hahaha, the net narrative really helps the audience to create an atmosphere of dependence and reading. The soul-summoning project can finally be implemented."

In the office of Blue Die Pictures, Liam happily said to Wan Ziren: "By the way, are there any plans for the subsequent shooting?"

"I got a little idea, but the other day Lehman called me and told me that there was a project that I might focus on that movie next year."

"It's okay, the boss's project is preferred, so it's better to let the concept of soul-conjuring be settled for a little longer."

...

The original "Luxing" spent 1.5 million US dollars on pure shooting costs, and finally nearly 100 million US dollars worldwide. Now, after Lyman's polish, the entire framework is more continuous and the audience's immersion is higher. Soon, more than 50 million US dollars were harvested in more than a dozen areas.
