A successful movie has a huge pulling effect on the production company, and "X-Men" can get more benefits in the follow-up, not to mention that this is only the beginning of a series. watermark ad test watermark ad test

The most obvious success of the movie is the pull of the surprise stock price. In the case of the overall downturn in the stock market, the stock of Marvel comics rose against the trend. Even if the daily increase was limited, it maintained a stable upward trend. Three months after the X-Men's first week at the box office, Marvel's single stock price has surpassed $25 for the first time.

Therefore, "X-Men 2", which had already determined the script, was naturally put on the agenda. With the addition of "Blade 3" in production and "Spider-Man" in preparation, Marvel Studios will face the production of three films at the same time for the first time. Movie.

Although he does not participate in specific operations, Ryan has been holding the title of chairman. During the next meeting, Avi Arad revealed that he wanted to resign from his concurrent position in Marvel Studios and recommended the producer of "X-Men". Manager Kevin Feige is the new one.

In his previous life, he was a fan of Marvel superhero movies. Of course, Ryan knew who Kevin Feige was, and he didn't express much opinion. This matter was still handed over to Marvel's internal handling.

Ryan didn't stay in New York for too long and flew directly to the famous Napa Valley.

Napa Valley is located in San Francisco Bay, California. It is a famous wine producing area in the United States. It is also a resort for celebrities and rich people to buy leisure estates. According to his latest information, Nicole recently bought a new wine estate and is currently relaxing here. .

As expected, Ryan's car was stopped directly outside the manor. No matter what he said, the other party refused to let him go. If George hadn't stopped him on purpose, maybe he would have let the bodyguards break in directly. Come play.

certainly. In the end, he regained his composure, and even if he was acting for others to see, there was no need to go too far.

After all, with Nicole's hot temper now. If you don't get it right, it will be in the name of trespassing on private territory. Take him to court and wait to be laughed at.

"You really don't see him?"

on the terrace of the villa. Antonia Kidman glanced at her sister and looked at the door of the manor, "He's been waiting for almost a day."

"Don't mention him in front of me, okay. Annie!" Nicole's face was covered tightly by the oversized sunglasses, "Just pretend I never knew him."

After she finished speaking, she raised her glass to the blond woman on the other side, "Nami, does the wine produced by the winery taste good?"

"Excellent.

"Naomi Watts sipped the red wine lightly, "It feels more mellow than the red wine produced in the Bordeaux region. "

"If you like it, just stay here with me for a while." Nicole looked at her sister dissatisfied. "Annie is going back to Sydney, and she doesn't agree to let her come to Hollywood to develop."

The three women chatted about topics of interest. Nicole never looked in the direction of the gate of the manor until Naomi Watts went to the bathroom. Antonia Kidman couldn't help it.

"Nicole, it's better to meet him, maybe Ryan is really in a hurry..."

"Annie!" Nicole Kidman pointed to her nose, "I'm your sister!"

"But...he's our brother..."

"It used to be, not anymore."

"Okay, Nicole, let's not mention him." Antonia Kidman asked the biggest question in the past few days, "What are the Disney people looking for you for? Don't do stupid things!"

"I know what I'm doing." The sunglasses blocked her eyes, and no one could see the light shining in the pale blue eyes, "I'm just doing what I want to do."

Antonia Kidman closed her mouth. After all, it was her own sister in front of her.

There was silence on the terrace, and Naomi Watts came over from the corner of the stairs, as if not seeing the awkward atmosphere here, and continued to talk about some fashion topics.

Looking at her chatty sister, Antonia Kidman had to say that she was an actress by nature, and she couldn't even see her true inner thoughts.

What exactly does she want to do? What is the purpose?

The only person in the world who can read her is probably the guy outside the manor?

Are these two really going to break up and become enemies? Or……

Her eyes fell on Nicole's face again, and under the big sunglasses, she still couldn't see anything special.

It was completely dark, Ryan tucked his knees and sat on the front hood, looking at the closed gate of the manor, which seemed to never be opened.

"They're gone." George put away the phone and walked over.

"Hmm~"

Nodding, Ryan pointed to his side, waited for George to sit down and asked, "After I was kicked out of the manor that day, Nicole took what I asked you to hand over and didn't say anything, right?"

"Yes." George frowned, "If..."

"No ifs. I just gave her a chance to vent her anger. It's enough for her to vent. (Pingnan Literature Network)" Ryan jumped out of the car, "Okay, follow the established plan, I..."

He sighed, "It's a bad feeling to be a passerby for a long time, let's go back to Los Angeles."

Hollywood is a battlefield without gunpowder smoke. He and Disney are bound to put on a long play that has been performed in this Vanity Fair countless times, but now it is just a little drama to prepare food, grass and ammunition, which often involves billions of dollars. There is no suitable opportunity for the acquisition of funds, even a tyrant like Michael Eisner will not easily take action.

How long did Viacom prepare to acquire Paramount Pictures?

When did Summer Redstone think like this, few people know, the only thing Hollywood knows is that he has been staring at Paramount Pictures since the 1990s, and for the final success, he has worked for at least three years. Preparation time.

Ryan has enough patience.

With the arrival of November, another hot movie schedule in North America has also kicked off. "Monsters, Inc." and "Gladiator" have released trailers one after another. The schedules of the two films were selected on Thanksgiving and October respectively. February.

However, not long after the trailers for the two films were released, they ran into trouble.

The trailer for "Monsters, Inc." appeared in the media as early as October, and perhaps the audience will only realize that another great animated feature is coming, and prepare to go to the theater for the whole family on Thanksgiving. It is said that the appearance of the hair monster Sullivan has brought a shocking technological breakthrough. Although there have been many scenes about hair in computer animation before, it has never created such a vivid image of the hair monster.

Naturally, Pixar Studio will not miss the opportunity to publicize. They released news that there are more than 2.3 million hairs on the hair monster. In many cases, it even needs to be rendered one by one, which will definitely bring different views to the audience. Shadow feeling.

Shortly before the film's release, Lori Madrid, a children's writer from Wyoming, broke the news that "Monsters, Inc." stole the idea for his 1997 poem "There's a Boy in My Closet."

Madrid had mailed her poem to six publishers in October 1999, before adapting it into a local musical stage play in the summer of 2001, and after seeing the trailer for Monsters Inc., Madrid believed one of them. The publisher gave Pixar its work, and the film was based on its own poem.

The media will definitely not miss such an opportunity for hype. The news of whether Pixar plagiarized or not has become the headlines of many entertainment media.

Did Pixar Studio plagiarize?

This kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly. There are so many examples that Hollywood borrowed from when creating scripts. In a previous life, some people sued James Cameron's "Avatar" and "Titanic" for plagiarism.

Ryan also doesn't need to consider whether Pixar has learned from it. The other party's work has not been registered with the Writers Guild, and there is not enough evidence. If there is, he may have sued long ago. Set out in the direction that is most beneficial to your own interests.

The Wilson law firm quickly mailed a lawyer's letter to Lori Madrid, and the author who was not confident enough immediately shut his mouth.

Although this plagiarism incident only lasted for a few days, Lori Madrid was repeatedly mentioned by the media and instantly became a famous figure in the United States. In the following month, the sales of his works even surpassed those in the past. Sum.

The purpose of the other party's hype is obvious.

Ryan knew that there would be more and more hitchhiking in the future, and he didn't have time to care about such little people, because this storm seemed to inspire some people, and some people jumped out.

This time the opponent is no longer targeting "Monster Power Company", but "Gladiator" starring him!

A senior Hollywood screenwriter named Mark Morick claimed that after watching the trailer of "Gladiator", he specially read the novel of the same name published by "Vanity Fair" that year, all of which are suspected of plagiarizing him as early as 80 years old. A play about the ancient Roman Empire written in the 1990s.

"A Roman gladiator stood in the center of the arena and looked up at the king, waiting for him to decide whether to live or die. The king held out his thumb with an unforgivable expression, ready to make a gesture to execute the loser. This is from the 19th century French academic painter Jean? Leon Jerome's masterpiece."

When the other party was interviewed by the TV station, he talked eloquently, "This painting reminds me of the glory and evil of the Roman Empire. From that moment on, I was deeply attracted, so I decided to write a script about the ancient Roman Empire. My follow-up research found that every aspect of Roman culture was related to the arena, which was the center of all social classes at the time, so I believed the arena was the ideal location for the script’s story to take place.”

He also specially showed a somewhat old script to the camera, "After I wrote it, I showed it to many of my friends back then. It should be like this, which led to the spread of this story." ()
