Chapter 1202: Mid-Season Invitational

Text Chapter 1202 Mid-Season Invitational Tournament

Just before dawn, Universal CEO Jeff Hilliso got up and got dressed.

"Hulk 2" performed well, better than the mainland.

In the word-of-mouth offensive of "export to domestic sales", movie fans and audiences have long been "hungry and thirsty".

After the first weekend, in a spacious hall of Universal Studios, the media gathered, and the official newsmen of Universal took the stage beaming, full of energy, holding an inscription book, in front of the media people, detailing their recent achievements, And take advantage of the situation to warm up the next move.

"...In mainland China, the film earned 26.24 million US dollars (about 169.7 million yuan) in 3 days of release, and its opening score easily surpassed the total box office (98 million yuan) of the previous film "Thor" in the mainland.

The same region that has surpassed the cumulative results of the previous film at the box office is Thailand, which contributed 3.2 million US dollars. In addition, in terms of overseas old markets, 24.1 million in the CIS, 22.6 million in the United Kingdom, 15.9 million in Brazil, 15.7 million in Mexico, and 17.4 million in France... 113 million in North America, the global box office has reached 249 million, and the overall box office performance has been greatly improved compared with the previous work. "

Well, it is a big improvement, which is 2.92 times larger than the first week of "The Incredible Hulk 1".

In the eyes of many media people, they don’t take these news seriously. They knew that “The Incredible Hulk 2” performed very well before, but it was not as detailed as the global summary, and it was not as detailed as the information disclosed in the second half of the press conference. valuable.

...

May 10.

It was during the sunniest period that there were some waves in Hollywood.

The employees of the communication offices of various economic companies, dressed in formal suits and holding telephones, wrote and drew on the notebook, and wrote down the information they needed on the phone.

As busy as these people, there are also brokers and members of various trade unions. They can always get the announcements of certain projects in advance. Whenever this happens, it is time for everyone to show their talents, find ways, and seek opportunities.

In any case, the big manufacturers only care about setting the threshold for cooperation, and then these people will communicate it layer by layer until a suitable crew is established and planning to start.

The movie market was very lively, that is, "Hulk 2" is still reaping the box office market of the same period, I don't know how many people are happy and how many people are sad, and the competition will inevitably deviate from someone's heart.

Of course, the cinema dealers like to have more intense competition. Affected by "Hulk 2", the market cap of the week was as high as 278 million. This data also means that this year's golden summer season has a good start.

This year is the New Year, with the London Olympics, the overall social atmosphere is not bad, the American people seem to be free from the impact of the 2008 stock market disaster, and their willingness to watch movies and enjoy life is getting stronger and stronger.

The market is getting better and the actors are happy.

In addition to the lament of some people, saying that the golden age of movies is gone, more people look to Marvel - this label that has just proved its star-making ability and strong box office ability again has not stopped.

Alas, someone complained to their agent why they couldn't get on this big ship.

The corner of the agent's mouth moved slightly, trying to explain something, but he didn't say anything after all.

The man was still talking, thinking that the Marvel executives were blind - what the **** is Jason Momoa? It's just a big man with dead muscles. He is despised by others and has no acting skills. He can only play hard and bark his teeth. Such a person can be reused, and he will be given a solo role? Can he handle the box office?

No one can answer this question.

Since "Hulk 2" has become a global hit, when Uncle Mark's popularity has been further expanded, Jason Momoa, who plays Namo, the king of the sea clan in a fierce battle with the Hulk, has also won the award. a lot of attention.

Many of his past stories have been dug up, and even the past that no one paid attention to when he was down has become an interesting story and a talking point among fans.

Human? That's it. The founder of the Zhu Dynasty was not born with dignity, and the experience of being a monk will not weaken his success. Thinking about it, the milk tea east has sold pirated CDs, which will only make people more. I admire him, and by the way, let some self-media editors play to add a bit of air.

And watching Jason Momoa go on shows, run announcements, bombard the screen 360 degrees all day long, and the publicity effect of "Hulk 2" is far more brilliant than his career as a young actor in the past 7 or 8 years. To be glorious - "Game of Thrones" is a group show, and his Mawang is mostly just a foil for Daenerys, what's more, TV shows and movies have different meanings.

Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo...and one more Jason Momoa, more and more examples of a play turning over have stimulated the same homogeneous actor class, and also Let more people be willing to accept Marvel's "harsh" bundling conditions, they are just afraid that Marvel will not give them a chance.

Indeed, after Marvel has proved its ability to attract money and the situation has begun to take shape, it has rarely "friended" with actors, and even those big stars have expressed their willingness to cooperate, but after all, there are too many monks and few porridge, and Kevin is more willing to help "not so famous" Actors, because he thinks that these people "cherish" the opportunity to appear, and naturally there are not so many bad problems.

It is against this background that the shooting plan of "Reunion 2" was announced, and in the heated discussions with different minds - well, in fact, many people also know that the Avengers system rarely accommodates characters other than the Avengers team. , is also a background board, so many actors actually value "Sea King" more, which is the project plan announced by Universal a few days ago.

Anyone who knows Marvel's layout knows that the construction of MCU is a big network, and there must be connections between various projects. Needless to say, projects such as Thor and Captain America have long been clear, and there are too few pits, but "Aquaman" is another Open a new map of the map, how to see it, the chance to enter and the probability of getting a positive role are higher.

But just when everyone was praying for the finalists to be selected, and it was not bad to play against Jason Momoa, another internal news came out, saying that the Sea King Namor is the most important character, and it will be with the reunion. The team is on the line, and "Aquaman" is to hold it.

As a result, many people feel that it is not so worthwhile to withdraw from the competition. When the threshold for the re-election role is released, the actresses, especially the younger generation born in the 1985s, will compete more fiercely.

No way, everyone knows that it's to support Namor, and it's not a dual-protagonist setting. Naturally, other male characters stand aside. Don't steal the limelight of the protagonist. All the villains have room for performance, which greatly reduces the temptation for some people. Yes, but there are always beauties for heroes. As soon as many brokerage companies see the screening conditions given by Universal and Marvel, they know-

Under the age of 35, with a hard photo - it shows that the temperament of the face is the first, and the acting is the second.

After all, the brokerage companies all know that Marvel doesn’t need fame, and no one’s audience is as good as the audience base that comes with this label. It’s just a vase and you can go out beautifully in front of hundreds of millions of audiences, not many Female stars can resist the temptation to quickly become famous.

For a time, Yingying Yanyan Yingying.

Today's tabloid said that Bieber's rumored girlfriend Selena Gomez is running for the role of "Meila", and Johnny Depp's rumored girlfriend Amber Heard will also join the audition tomorrow.

Similar press releases, all-beautiful women, are quite easy to attract attention. Soon, these candidates who were rumored to audition for Mela realized what it means to have a rare opportunity.

After being recommended by the heads of various brokerage companies, there are 12 people who have passed the initial test, all of whom are young, beautiful, and have outstanding body proportions.

The more people there are, the more stringent the screening conditions will be. Of course, a series of thresholds such as long-term contracts and public image have already blocked a batch, but this is not enough. There is only one heroine, and both Marvel and Universal are not willing to miss such a good deal. Therefore, the re-election was not held soon, but asked these actresses to shape for a period of time, then directly put on makeup and costumes, and then let everyone score their performance, and the three with the highest scores were selected from one.

As soon as this internal announcement came out, the actresses began to stop. You must know that these people who have passed the primary election are related to each other. Many people in the circle have helped to pass the word in secret. It is better to guide them to focus on shaping. exercise.

Moreover, some preheating methods have never stopped.

Cinephile audiences, fresh from the bombardment of "The Hulk 2," are inevitably discussing the series spinoff "Aquaman" and the cast of "Aquaman."

Excitement, excitement, anticipation, and many emotions are intertwined, making Marvel-related topics more and more lively.

The fan groups of some of the inductees are even busy pulling people to stand in line. Every day, they praise their favorite actresses on the official account of Aite Marvel on social networking sites, while scolding other competitors. This situation is exactly what Universal and Marvel would like to see.

"Is it all about the IP series in the future?"

In a certain cigar shop, a person from the entertainment industry who seems to be quite young cut off the wrapper and sighed, as if he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Marvel, DC and other head IPs can rush to the hot search.

Several of his wine and meat friends also had similar distress, and they all agreed, not because they couldn't understand Marvel's high profile, but in their way.

After all, there has never been such a label that can bomb from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The related news, whether it is filming on the set, audition materials, or even the easter eggs and layout inside, can be taken out to attract the attention of fans and fill people's attention.

But complaining is just complaining, it doesn't help the status quo.

They discovered that the audience just likes this kind of "lively", and nothing artistic or groundbreaking can compare to the popularity.

Marvel is very popular. There are many fans and people are powerful. You and I will make the topic hot.

And at this time, isn't it normal for fans to care about the follow-up? Some people care about the players' lace when they watch a game. It is about the starring lineup of the new work, so naturally the attention is not low.

Just when there was a fierce battle around the heroine and male supporting role of "Aquaman", one of the decision-makers of all this, Leman Rust, sat in the car and went to Riot headquarters less than ten miles from the beach in Santa Monica.

Here, Red Dragonfly Sports was entrusted to prepare the first LOL Mid-Season Invitational Tournament from April to start the group stage, followed by the semi-finals knockout, and then the final of the championship and Asian competition. Since the semi-finals list was released, he put down the movie. The work here is going to go to the scene to see, and even prepare to award the championship team.

Due to the development of Lehman's involvement in lol events in this world, three major international event activity systems, including the mid-season game, the s game, and the All-Star game, were determined early, in conjunction with the spring and summer games in various regions, almost running through Throughout the year, it will not be too boring for the summoners to have no games to watch for a long time.

He knows the benefits of systematic, multi-faceted, and orderly planning. The reason why League of Legends events have become the top events in the world, attracting tens of millions of viewers to watch the live broadcast, is because it has quickly and subtly changed many game lovers. The concept of life has led to many people who are willing to watch LOL's international events even if they don't play this game, and this method can also make LOL much slower than other games.

Many people also know the key factors that cause this kind of game history to leave traces:

It must have been well planned by Penguin Sports and Riot;

The second is the sustenance of feelings, people always have good memories of some things;

This, thirdly, is persistence, investing heavily in publicity resources, making gods and secondary creations for a long time to form a habit of investing and catalyzing, even if you lose money, you have to do it, and have the courage to innovate the setting pattern in the game, new Let’s not talk about heroes. There are hard indicators of how many new heroes are released each year, mainly due to the innovation of maps and gameplay.

As we all know, Riot makes a few minor changes every year and major changes every three years, always keeping version updates in mind, and constantly giving players a sense of freshness in competition.

And these, almost all of Laiman talked to the core team of Riot. In fact, the first S competition can be postponed to 12 years, in order to localize the China and South Korea regions first, and cultivate a group of players and teams~www.wuxiaspot .com~ Having a foundation to engage in international events will be more influential.

Like the previous life, the first one was just a battle between Europe and the United States. The teams were not club-based or formalized. They spent a lot of time trying to get through the game without breaking the circle. It is difficult for players in overseas areas to think that the championship of the S competition has gold content, because they have no way to know about it. , and what kind of sense of participation.

In this life, with sufficient preparation, 8 championship teams from 8 regions gathered in Los Angeles. In addition, the promotion of lol was smooth, and the Red Dragonfly contracted the event to save money for publicity. In addition, there was a gimmicky 8 million prize pool, which made trouble in the game circle. The movement is not small.

You must know that 8 million US dollars is already the money that many game manufacturers will never invest in a certain event prize pool, not to mention the money in the prize pool and all arrangements for the mid-season game, including the follow-up promotion of gods, large-scale manuscripts and other means It's a small amount of money in comparison.

From venue rental and layout, to players’ hotels, to game media, Internet promotion, and to in-game column tracking, it’s all about money.

Even the top executives of Riot Games are a little embarrassed after spending so much money. In their opinion, such input and output may not be proportional at all. After all, after the event is entrusted, it is the people of Red Dragonfly who are working hard, and they are only responsible for the game. Even the live broadcast team was recruited by Red Dragonfly for adaptive training in advance.

But Lehman knows that as long as the lol can reach the height of the previous life, this investment is sprinkled, and the game itself can be earned back, not to mention the game peripherals, the regional broadcast authorization after the event becomes bigger, and other ways to easily make money, It's just that these methods all require the game itself to be prosperous and have a strong lifespan. This is not a one-shot deal, and the measurement of value has to be long-term.
