Chapter 454 Follow-up publicity plan

Maybe time is the best solution?

Faced with the current situation, Ryan once again thought of delaying, but soon realized that time was never transferred by human will. It did not resolve the last conflict and could not solve the current problem at all.

For other Hollywood stars, getting drunk, partying or sucking something ecstatic is a good way to forget your worries, but for Ryan, work is the best anesthetic.

Marvel Comics is one of the first companies he targeted. Unlike those who invest in companies that are purely for making money, Ryan's interest lies in the film industry. The superhero movies in Marvel's previous life are one of his favorite series. If this series can create more brilliant results in his hands, he will definitely be happy to achieve it.

Will this "X-Men", which has changed a lot more than its previous life, be accepted by the market?

Judging from the number of viewers and enthusiasm for watching the movie on the first weekend, most people are very interested in the new setting of the movie and have shown certain expectations for subsequent movies.

On Monday morning, Ryan appeared on time in the Marvel Comics conference room, quietly sitting at the outermost side, acting as an audience member, listening to the professionals' analysis of the past three days and follow-up publicity.

"The first three days of the week, with 3,750 theaters, "X-Men" won a box office of $61.51 million." Kevin Feige, the film's producer, said excitedly. "The actual box office of the movie far exceeded our expectations of $45 million."

"Ba!Ba..."

I don’t know who was the first to slap his palm, and then the applause in the conference room was connected.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced the most difficult period of Marvel Comics to understand their current excitement.

Five years ago, the comic industry in North America ushered in a cold winter. Even giants like Marvel Comics had to apply for bankruptcy protection. If someone had not invested money in time, how could it have come to its rapid development now?

Many people's eyes fell on Ryan. Although this young man has never interfered with the normal operation of the company, it was his funds and genius suggestions that he pulled Marvel Comics back from the cliff and used miraculous speed to recreate the glory of Marvel Comics.

The huge success of the first week of the X-Men also gave them confidence in Ryan's plan for the entire major film series.

"It's not the time to celebrate." The young Kevin Feige kept his mind clear. "Don't forget that the production cost of this movie is $70 million. If all other expenses are included, the total investment has reached $100 million, and now we haven't even recovered the cost."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the box office in the second week of the movie will have a big drop in the box office." He continued, "What we have to do now is how to grab more box office numbers in the second week..."

The meeting ended without going long, and Ryan was taken to his office by Avi Aladdra.

"Ryan, I want to expand the amazing screenwriter team."

After the secretary filled the two with coffee, Avi Arad said, "The amazing screenwriter team has to deal with both comics and movies, which is a bit thin."

"That's what you think about ceo." Ryan slowly sipped the coffee and waved his hand and said, "To be honest. Avi, do you fall in love with my screenwriter team?"

"It's not easy to find a great screenwriter now." What Avi Arad said is true.

The screenwriter model that Ryan has always been in Hollywood, but after Jenkins Pictures and Flower Pictures have been successfully successful, this model has been fully developed.

In the words of some critics, Ryan not only completely became part of the Hollywood assembly line, but also became an important propeller of this assembly line.

As long as you can make money, countless people will imitate and follow up, and other producers will also recruit screenwriters in large quantities, making this job with extremely low status in the crew a vague trend of turning over. Screenwriters who have successful works or have participated in successful works have undoubtedly become popular.

The screenwriter team of Jenkins Pictures inevitably lost some people, but just like Pixar, who is always poached, the core and backbone are always there. Using the old to lead the new model can add fresh blood to the team.

In particular, Ryan fulfilled his original promise that as long as the screenwriter completes the contract and changes jobs, he will personally write a recommendation letter based on the actual situation, which also makes Jenkins Pictures the favorite place for screenwriters who want to make their debut.

Jenkins Films' Tina Fei is the envy of all new screenwriters.

She joined Jenkins Film as an ordinary screenwriter. With her own talent, she quickly became the head of the entire screenwriter team. Now she has gone further and has become the producer of one of the hottest reality shows this summer - American Idol.

How many years has it been used to be an unknown little person to become a producer who holds great power?

Nothing is more convincing than living realistic examples.

Everyone knows that Jenkins Film has gathered a group of extremely potential screenwriters, and Avi Arad will make his mind on this, and Ryan is not surprised at all.

Ryan responded very happily to Avi Arad’s request. After all, this is something that is beneficial to him. Besides, Hollywood is the one with dreams the most.

Compared with other companies, Jenkins Pictures can attract the attention of these people more in terms of opportunities and benefits.

No matter what, a good story is the basis of the movie, and the excitement of the story depends on the screenwriters' performance.

Today's Hollywood movies have conquered most parts of the world. No matter how cultural differences are, Hollywood's big productions can conquer the audience, and it can always meet the needs of most people.

Hollywood has attracted countless talented people to join the film industry with its high salary. The university's film schools have opened one after another. Many screenwriters have master's degrees. In order to write good scripts, these people have almost thoroughly studied the art of storytelling, and even analyzed the audience's psychology from all aspects of mythology psychology to big data.

In fact, from another perspective, Hollywood screenwriters may be the most successful commercial writing in the world.

In the eyes of producers, whether a movie can make a profit is always the most important criterion. There may be producers who invest in movies for art, but in Hollywood, where commercialization is highly developed, you can definitely count it without a few fingers.

Not long after Ryan left Marvel, Avi Arad held a press conference in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, officially announcing that the next superhero on the screen of Marvel Comics will be Spider-Man. Sam Remy, who once filmed "Ghost Player", will be the director of the movie.

Although the Easter egg of "X-Men" has already predicted the upcoming arrival of the "Spider-Man" movie, the official has never made any comments. After the press conference of Marvel Comics, the news spread rapidly.

You know, Spider-Man is no worse than DC's Superman and Batman. Peter Parker has a large number of fans, including famous figures like James Cameron.

At the same time, Marvel also launched a voting campaign for which mutant has the strongest combat power in the movie on the official website of "X-Men" and some paper media, attracting a large number of people to participate.

Some people chose Professor X because his ability was almost unsolvable, but someone immediately refuted that he had no choice when facing Magneto wearing a helmet.

There is also a candidate for Wolverine, but he was too restrained by Magneto and would not be the strongest...

When refuting Magneto, he believed that he had a metal-free environment and his combat power was directly zero.

Anyway, the noisy voting activities have further aroused heated discussions among the public, especially young people about "X-Men", which has caused many people to return to the theater.

Many people noticed the conversation between Magneto and Professor X at the end of the film. Although there is no picture to support it, the name Qin Grey also occupies an important position among the strongest options.

Whether it is choosing this time to announce the official launch of Spider-Man or subsequent voting activities, Surprise is for publicity and profitability needs.

Ryan, who stayed in New York and was once again turned away by Natalie, has been observing the surprising movements. This comic company with a long history has shown extremely outstanding commercial operation methods after revitalizing.

The direct result of this is that the box office decline in the second week of "X-Men" is far lower than market estimates.

After more than $61.5 million in the first three days of the first week, "X-Men" won again $39.88 million in the seven days of the second week, and successfully exceeded the $100 million mark in two weeks.

Since Jenkins Pictures does not have the right to publish overseas, the overseas distribution of the movie was handed over to 20th Century Fox, and it will appear in several important overseas film markets one after another, starting its journey of making money again.

Taking advantage of the hot trend of the movie, Marvel Comics launched the latest "X-Men" series of comics to supplement the content of the movie, including the past of Qin Grey and Magneto, and also used a small amount of space to mention some things that happened during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, etc.

The most significant change is the dress-up of the entire series of "X-Men", which changed from the original light yellow clothes to the black leather uniform in the movie.

Although there are still many old "X-Men" fans on the Internet complaining that the black costumes are ugly, they have been fully recognized by the younger generation after the film was successful. After all, to the point of being cool, this series of uniforms inspired by the Matrix is ​​completely out of the original old version.

After the box office was released in the second week, Ryan finished the script outline of "Monster Shrek" and prepared to return to Los Angeles. (To be continued...)
