"X-Men 3" is an ensemble movie. The character played by Jun Ji-hyun only appears for less than five minutes in total.

However, this is enough for her.

Just like mainland artists, they once liked to make guest appearances in Hollywood blockbusters. Even the feature films were not included and could only appear in special editions.

Jun Ji-hyun is really interested in this.

As long as she can appear in a Hollywood blockbuster, she is qualified to return to South Korea to brag.

After all, things are rare and valuable! There are very few South Korean actors who can appear in Hollywood, so as long as she can star in a Hollywood movie, regardless of the number of roles or the salary, it is a victory.

…

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

At this time, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is currently in theaters, and its box office and reputation are still satisfactory. The North American box office is 420 million US dollars, and the global box office is as high as 1 billion 60 million US dollars.

Such results are simply astonishingly good.

No one would have thought that Hollywood's most taboo pirate-themed and water-themed movies could actually create such a high box office, which is simply unbelievable.

Disney Pictures is particularly regretful because the Pirate Ship was originally a Disneyland project. But now Universal Pictures has built a Pirate Ship entertainment project at Universal Studios with the help of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

Due to the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", this project became popular at Universal Studios, and thousands of children pestered their parents to play at Universal Studios.

As a result, Universal Studios' passenger traffic has surged, creating an additional billion dollars in value every year, which would make Disney crazy with envy.

…

The movie released after "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is "Spider-Man". This movie stars Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba and James Franco. It tells the birth 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 with teenagers as the protagonist. Before that, those teenagers could only serve as assistants in superhero 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 extremely wealthy, doctors, lawyers, or killer mercenaries, and they all have enough food and clothing, and no worries about money.

Only Spider-Man comes from an ordinary background and even needs to work part-time to earn tuition. This is also a great sense of substitution for young people. After all, no matter which country there are, there are more ordinary people and fewer rich people.

Therefore, when its comic book movie was released, many comic fans flocked to the theater to watch it.

And when they watched the movie, they all thought it was a very good movie.

Although many superhero movies have emerged this year, "Spider-Man" still explores the differences between Spider-Man and other superheroes.

One is ordinary, and the other is responsibility. There are many superheroes, but the only one who takes the motto "With great power comes great responsibility" is Spider-Man.

He doesn't have to do those good things. Unlike Iron Man, he doesn't have original sin, unlike the X-Men who are ostracized by society, and unlike Iron Fist, Luke Cage has a feud...

He only wanted to help others because he gained abilities. This theme was clearly expressed in the movie and won unanimous recognition from the audience.

Therefore, "Spider-Man" was a huge success. Not only did it have a very good reputation, but the box office also reached 820 million US dollars. Such results made the original Marvel boss Ron Paisman so devastated that his intestines were almost green.

.

He sold Marvel to Xiang Nan for US$230 million back then. Now, Xiang Nan can earn at least US$600 million from just one "Spider-Man" movie, which is heartbreaking to think about.

Ron Paisman is not the only one who is heartbroken. Other Hollywood film companies also regret it. The $230 million acquisition of Marvel is definitely the right price.

It's a pity that they didn't expect that superhero movies could be so popular at the time, so they had no intention of acquiring Marvel. Now, even if they spend 10 billion US dollars, they definitely can't buy back Marvel.

…

Entering October, "X-Men 2" will be released.

Compared with its predecessor, this movie has a larger investment, more amazing special effects, and a more ups and downs story. Therefore, after its release, it received a better reputation and performed better at the box office.

In the end, the global box office was nearly 500 million US 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 for this movie was actually very small, only 25 million US dollars. In order to save costs, the movie was not shot in the United States, but in Romania.

The standard of living there, extra acting commissions and venue rental fees are all very low. In particular, Romania even provides tax relief measures in order to attract foreign investment, which attracts many Hollywood crews to shoot scenes.

However, although this movie has a low investment, the production level is not bad.

The charming vampire, the terrifying werewolf, the cool styling, and the fierce fighting all dazzled the audience. This dark gothic style is very attractive to young audiences.

Therefore, the film finally took in a box office of 95 million US dollars, which is not very high, but it is enough to start the next sequel.

…

In December, during the Christmas period, the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was released. Also released at the same time was the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

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

He has directed films such as the "Home Alone" series and "Jurassic Park" before, and has very rich experience in this area.

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

In the end, the movie achieved a global box office of US$870 million, which can be said to be quite a hit. It also made colleagues envious.

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

A person who can successively create "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Harry Potter", "Lethal Weapon", "Die Hard" and many other popular IPs is really unparalleled in terms of talent.

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" has also sold tens of millions of copies, and many book fans even queued up overnight to buy the book.
