Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In October, "Ghost Rider 3" will be released. In this one, Ghost Rider will deal with a more ferocious and powerful enemy-the mother of demons, Lilith.

She is one of the leaders of the devil, has many subjects, and is extremely powerful, so the ghost knight is destined to fall into a hard fight, but the final victory is naturally his.

Compared with the previous two works, this "Ghost Rider 3" has a larger investment, and it has further expanded the Midnight Sons universe. In this film, the hell where the demon kings live is officially shown to the audience.

Blazing flames, ferocious demons, endless killings... The scene of hell makes the audience shudder, and the battlefield of "Midnight Children 3" will take place here.

At that time, Ghost Rider Johnny Blazer will take away Mephisto's throne of the king of hell and become the new king of hell. This will also be the end of the "Midnight Children" universe.

Speaking of "Ghost Rider 3", a good story, coupled with gorgeous special effects, grand scenes, and exciting fighting scenes, are enough to make this "Ghost Rider 3" a good box office.

In the end, the North American box office was 210 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 580 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the investment of 150 million U.S. dollars, such results are absolutely acceptable.

...

In November, "X-Men: Evolution" was released.

The enemy this version of the X-Men has to deal with is Mister Sinister.

Compared with Apocalypse, he is stronger and more cunning. In particular, he is good at gene cloning technology, so he collected a batch of mutant genes early on for cloning and transformation. Like Cable, he had a son with Jean Gray's clone and Cyclops.

Because he is good at cloning technology, there are a large number of cloned mutants by his side. Their strength is the same as that of the original body, even after genetic modification, it is still better.

Therefore, Mister Sinister is much more difficult to deal with than Apocalypse, and can be said to be the strongest opponent the X-Men have faced.

However, evil cannot overcome good, and in the end, Mister Sinister was still defeated by the policemen. But his plan worked, and Cable was impregnated by Jean Gray's clone.

And this will also lead to the next boss, Kang the Conqueror from the future world.

After the release of "X-Men: Evolution", the box office was very good. First, the scene is big enough. Professor X, Magneto, Mystique, Cyclops, Shockwave, etc., fought against their own clones. It was really lively.

Second, the story is still fresh and interesting. Although the concept of cloning is not new, cloning mutants is still intentional.

And because the appearance and abilities of the clone and the main body are almost the same, the early stage of the film also involves counterfeiting, infiltration, lurking, stealing and other plots, similar to the sci-fi version of "Mission: Impossible", which still has a sense of suspense and tension.

Therefore, it is naturally beneficial to the box office. In the end, the North American box office was 350 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 840 million U.S. dollars, even better than the previous work.

Xiang Nan is very satisfied with this achievement, after all, its investment is only 180 million US dollars. Don't be too greedy.

...

In December, "Captain America 3" was released.

The plot is the same as the original version, almost unchanged, after all, the original plot is already very good.

Although in the eyes of Chinese people who pay attention to blood for blood and tooth for tooth, Black Panther's forgiveness of Major Zemo feels a bit like the Virgin Mary, but this approach is indeed in line with the mainstream of the United States, so Xiang Nan did not modify the plot.

"Captain America 3" finally achieved a very good box office, with a North American box office of 480 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of 1.15 billion U.S. dollars. It is one of the top-grossing superhero movies.

This movie not only introduced the superhero Black Panther, but also announced the disintegration of the Avengers. This also paved the way for the subsequent "Avengers 3 and 4".

Overall, Xiang Nan is very satisfied with the performance of this movie.

...

In January 19, Xiang Nan confirmed the shooting plan for the new year.

"Thor 3", "Avengers 3.4", "Ant-Man 2", "Captain Marvel", "Quick Chase 2, 3, 4", "007 No Time to Die", "Mobius the Vampire 3" ", "Midnight's Children 3", "Fast and Furious: Special Operations 2" and "A Dog's Way Home".

The filming plan for this year is a bit rushed, and several films are set. Because Xiang Nan knows that the epidemic will come next year, if he does not prepare early, it will be difficult to shoot at that time. The production crew shuts down every now and then, which will cause a lot of losses.

Moreover, Xiang Nan didn't want them to take risks to film.

In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went back to China to visit relatives as usual.

In January, Universal Pictures also released "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3", which continued to tell the love-hate relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Because the first two "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" have both good word-of-mouth and box office results, its golden signature has been established. Now that it is released again, the box office will naturally attract attention.

On the first day, the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, and finally ended with a total box office of 1.15 billion US dollars. The results are very satisfactory.

In comparison, "Maze Runner 3" launched by Fox Films has a global box office of nearly 180 million, far below the industry's expectations.

Because the previous two "Maze Runner" cost 30 million US dollars, the global box office was 340 million US dollars, and "Maze Runner 2" cost 50 million US dollars, and the global box office also reached 300 million US dollars.

"Maze Runner 3" invested 60 million U.S. dollars, and the industry expected its box office to reach about 500 million U.S. dollars. But unexpectedly, its score was only 180 million US dollars, which was 320 million less than the expected box office.

Such a huge gap has also disappointed the industry. When it is reflected in the stock market, it can be seen that the stock price of Fox Films has fallen for three consecutive days, and its market value has dropped by nearly one billion US dollars.

The fiasco of "Maze Runner 3" also puzzled the industry.

Because at the same time, youth-themed action movies, the "Hunger Games" series, the "Twilight Saga" series and the "Harry Potter" series, basically have a higher box office than the other. The box office of the next few films like "Harry Potter" exceeded one billion US dollars.

But the box office of the "Maze Runner" series is lower than the previous one. It's really a hell.

Only Xiang Nan knew that although the themes of these movies were similar, they were all about youth, and the audiences were all teenagers, but the producers were very different.

Whether it is "The Hunger Games", "Twilight", or "Harry Potter", the scripts are all written or reviewed by Xiang Nan himself, and they are specially created according to the tastes of teenagers. Although the reputation of each film is high or low, the basic story is smooth and guaranteed.

In comparison, the story of "Maze Runner 3" is not good-looking.

Even if it flaunts youth themes and touts it as comparable to "The Twilight Saga" and "The Hunger Games", it is a tree without roots and water without a source, and it is destined not to be popular.
