Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 2000 2002【Regret】

"X-Men 3" is a group portrait movie, the role played by Jun Ji-hyun does not exceed five minutes in total.

Still, that was enough for her.

It's like mainland artists who once liked to make guest appearances and punch cards in Hollywood blockbusters. Even the feature film can't get in, it can only appear in the special edition.

Quan Zhixian was really interested in this.

As long as she can make her appearance in Hollywood blockbusters, she is entitled to go back to South Korea to brag about.

After all, rare is precious! There are very few South Korean actors who can appear in Hollywood, so as long as she can appear in Hollywood movies, no matter how many roles she plays or how much she is paid, it is a victory.

...

Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week and then returned to Hollywood.

At this time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" is currently being screened, and its box office and reputation are still satisfactory. The box office in North America was 420 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 1.16 billion U.S. dollars.

Such a result is simply outrageously good.

No one would have imagined that Hollywood's most taboo pirate-themed and water-themed movies could still create such a high box office. It's simply unimaginable.

Disney Studios especially regretted it, since Pirate Ship was originally a Disneyland project. But now Universal Pictures has also built a pirate ship entertainment project in Universal Studios with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

And because of the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", this project exploded in Universal Studios, and thousands of children pestered their parents to play in Universal Studios.

As a result, Universal Studios' traffic surged, and it could create an additional billion dollars in value every year, which would make Disney crazy with envy.

...

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was followed by "Spider-Man". Starring Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba, and James Frank, the film follows the creation of Spider-Man and his feud with the Green Goblin.

Spider-Man is the most popular character in Marvel Comics.

On the one hand, he is the first hero to feature a teenager. Before that, those teenagers could only serve as assistants in Super British comics, such as Robin next to Batman. Compared with being an assistant, it is natural to be the protagonist, which is more in line with the aesthetics of teenagers.

On the one hand, Spider-Man is the most down-to-earth character. Other superheroes are either wealthy, doctors and lawyers, or killers and mercenaries, and they all have nothing to worry about.

Only Spider-Man came from an ordinary background and even needed to work part-time to earn tuition. This is also very engaging for young people. After all, no matter which country, there are many ordinary people and few rich people.

Therefore, when its comic-adapted movie was released, many comic fans flocked to the theater to enjoy it.

And when they watched the movie, they all felt that the movie was made very well.

Although many superhero movies have emerged this year, "Spider-Man" still discovers the difference between the little spider and other superheroes.

One is ordinary, and the other is responsibility. There are many superheroes, but there is only one Superhero with the motto "With great power comes great responsibility".

He didn't have to do those good deeds. Unlike Iron Man, he has original sin, unlike X-Men who is excluded from society, and unlike Iron Fist and Luke Cage, who has a feud...

He only wants to help others because he has acquired the ability. This theme was clearly expressed in the film and won the unanimous approval of the audience.

Therefore, "Spider-Man" was a big success, not only with a very good reputation, but also with a box office of 820 million US dollars. Such a result made the original Marvel boss Ron Paceman ruin his guts.

He sold Marvel to Xiang Nan when he received 230 million US dollars. Now, with just one "Spider-Man", Xiang Nan can earn at least 600 million U.S. dollars, which is heartbreaking to think about.

And it's not only Ron Peisiman who is heartbroken, but other Hollywood film companies also regret it. 230 million US dollars to buy Marvel, the price is absolutely appropriate.

It's a pity that they didn't expect at the time that Super British movies could still be so popular, so they didn't even think about buying Marvel. Well now, even if you spend 10 billion dollars, you won't be able to buy Marvel back.

...

Entering October, "X-Men 2" is released.

Compared with the previous work, this movie has a larger investment, more amazing special effects, and more ups and downs in the story. Therefore, after the release, the word-of-mouth was better, and the box office performance was even better.

In the end, the global box office was nearly 500 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the production cost of 110 million US dollars, such box office results can be said to be quite good.

In November, the fantasy action film "Underworld" starring Kate Beckinsale was released.

The investment in this film is actually very small, only 25 million US dollars. In order to save costs, the movies were not filmed in the United States, but went to Romania.

The standard of living, group performance commissions, and venue rental fees are all very low. In particular, Romania even offered tax relief measures to attract foreign investment, which attracted many Hollywood crews to shoot scenes.

However, although the investment in this film is low, the production level is not bad.

The charming vampires, terrifying werewolves, cool shapes, and fierce fights all dazzled the audience. This dark gothic style is very attractive to young audiences.

So the movie ended up taking $95 million at the box office, not a lot, but enough to start the next sequel.

...

In December, during the Christmas period, the movie released is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". At the same time, there is also the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is the second part of the series, still directed by Chris Columbus, who is best at directing movies for children.

Before that, he has directed films such as "Home Alone" series and "Jurassic Park", and has very rich experience in this field.

Therefore, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was also suspenseful and exciting, and both book fans and movie fans were very satisfied.

In the end, the film grossed US$870 million worldwide, which can be said to be quite a blockbuster. This also makes colleagues envious.

If Xiang Nan picked up Marvel before, this "Harry Potter" series was created by himself.

One person can successively create many blockbuster IPs such as "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Harry Potter", "Lethal Weapon", "Die Hard", etc. In terms of talent, it is really unparalleled.

This also makes all Hollywood filmmakers have to admire.

And because of the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" also sold tens of millions of copies, and many book fans even queued up overnight to buy books.

This alone has brought hundreds of millions of benefits to Xiangnan.
