Seven hundred and sixtieth chapters a powerful medicine

In fact, Murphy saw it very clearly. Spider-Man is a life-saving straw in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. Peter Parker pulled back the falling Columbia Pictures again and again, but there were times when they couldn't hold it back, such as this time "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".

What should I do at this time? Murphy can also think of it with his toes that Sony Columbia Pictures wants Spider-Man to go home!

Marvel ** Unlimited is good!

Nowadays, superhero movies are rampant, and most of the ones that can sell well are from the Marvel Comics Hero Universe.

Spider-Man returns home and returns to his birthplace. With the help of the infinitely beautiful Marvel **, he will surely be revitalized.

The news Murphy collected from Sony Columbia Pictures also proves that Sony Columbia Pictures does have such plans.

Looking back to the last century and 1900s, Marvel Comics was far from developing to the film industry, which now married into a wealthy family and monopolized production power, and could only get involved in film and television by selling comic copyright. As one of Marvel's most popular superheroes, Spider-Man bought the first TV movie by Columbia Pictures and MGM Films as early as 1977.

Twenty-two years later, Columbia Pictures, which has become a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment, obtained all the rights to shoot Spider-Man movies from MGM Pictures at the expense of giving up participating in the new "James Bond" series of movies. After more than ten years of negotiations, litigation and negotiations, Sony Entertainment finally owned the ** of Marvel's daughter Spider-King.

Everyone on earth knows what’s left: "Spider-Man" directed by Sam Remy in 2002 set a monument for the Hollywood summer superhero blockbuster, and is also known as "the icebreaker that starts superhero movies."

Sam Remy's "Spider-Man" trilogy and the two "Amazing Spider-Man" after the restart have brought more than $3.2 billion in box office revenue to Sony Entertainment, making great contributions. Faced with Marvel's hero group mode, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. have also posted hero posts to create the Men Universe and the Justice League Universe.

Sony Entertainment, which has only the little Spider-Boss, can't stand the loneliness. The original plan was to start with "Amazing Spider-Man 2" and intend to create its own "Spider-Man Cinematic Universe". However, the $700 million box office of "Amazing Spider-Man 2" did not meet Sony Entertainment's global $1 billion expectation, and both box office and reputation were at the bottom of the five Spider-Man movies.

Sony Entertainment, which has not yet succeeded, saw a money tree shaking, and immediately made a decision to adjust the schedule. "Amazing Spider-Man 3" was postponed indefinitely. The future of the villain alliance "The Sword Six" that expanded the "Spider-Man Cinematic Universe" was temporarily stopped. The expected bold words of a Spider-Man movie every year since 2016 now seem just a dream.

However, slowing down and saving money cannot solve the current situation of Sony Columbia Pictures' tight capital chain and unstoppable hands. Spider-self-taking alone is not enough to make Sony Entertainment lose its slap. It is precisely considering the maturity and long-term Marvel Cinema Universe and the market value of Marvel ** that after "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was removed from North America, Sony Columbia Pictures actively contacted Marvel Studios and threw out the final bargaining chips to make the decision to return Spider-Man in exchange for a pass to enter the Marvel Universe, thereby saving Peter Parker, whose commercial value has shrunk.

Murphy got the exact news that Sony Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios had initial contact, and even consulted several major Avengers actors.

Sony Columbia Pictures has put forward some preliminary ideas for Spider-Kid, and Peter Parker first appeared in the works of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a key character. If the agreement can be reached, Spider-Man is likely to appear in "Captain America 3: Civil War" or "Avengers 3: Infinity War".

Subsequently, Sony Columbia Pictures and the Marvel team jointly launched the new "Spider-Man" movie in 2017, and Andrew Garfield, who is currently a Spider-Man actor, will no longer play the role of Spider-Man.

However, according to information provided by Robert Downey Jr., although Marvel Studios is very interested in Sony Columbia Pictures' proposal, it is also full of concerns, especially with extremely dissatisfaction with the distribution of interests.

In Sony Columbia Pictures' proposal, the new "Spider-Man" movie was developed jointly by both parties, but the core powers such as financing, production, distribution, and copyright are still owned by Sony Columbia Pictures. At the same time, they also want to share the big cake of Marvel Cinema Universe, and Marvel Pictures can only be responsible for the production of the film...

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Marvel.

It is obvious that the Japanese cooperated with Marvel Studios to make a big profit, rather than transferring the copyright, which really allowed Spider-Man to go home.

If this agreement can be reached, Sony Columbia Pictures will still hold core powers such as the distribution and production of its own Spider-Man movies. Sony's move is just to borrow "fairy spirit" from the Avengers. He is more interested in the movie world view that others have already formed and has experienced the test of the market. He hopes to use this world view to position his own single-handed film: Spider-Man series of movies, which will be re-recognized by the market.

Although Marvel wants Spider home, she will definitely not accept such an unequal contract.

Murphy and Bill Roses simply talk about these news from Robert Downey Jr. and others. "Marvel has concerns. During the initial contacts between the two sides, the Japanese hold the copyright of Spider-Man's movie, and the price offered is too high, which makes it difficult for Marvel to accept."

Bill Rossis nodded, "If you change me to Kevin Feige's position, you won't accept such an unequal treaty."

"Kevin Feige is one of the people with the biggest concerns." Murphy said with a faint smile. "The little Spider's return home is indeed a big gimmick. It can drive the influence of the entire Marvel Universe, but it also has its drawbacks. The difference in creation is the biggest obstacle."

Although Sony's own Spider-Man movie was decided by itself, once there are any changes that go against the Marvel Cinema Universe settings, it will be the two companies. What kind of fighting will be staged?

According to Robert Downey Jr., in addition to these, Kevin Feige is worried about the mess of Sony Columbia Pictures and is worried that Sony's situation will drag down Marvel Studios.

"These differences that come from interests can be resolved through negotiations," Bill Roses reminded Murphy, "as long as Sony Columbia Pictures is willing to give in, they still have a high possibility of cooperation with Marvel Studios."

"Well." Murphy agreed with Bill Roses' words, "It's true."

Bill Rossis said, "If this happens, Sony Entertainment will inevitably suppress the voice of selling Columbia Pictures internally."

Murphy laughed, "So, I've given Sony Columbia Pictures a long time ago!"

"Ah?" Bill Rossis asked curiously, "What kind of powerful medicine?"

"Iron Man!" Murphy said slowly, "Robert Downey Jr."

Bill Roses opened his eyes wide instantly and understood what Murphy meant, "Good way!"

He then asked, "Has it been implemented?"

"Of course!" Murphy said, spreading his hands, "Donny is also interested in Sony Columbia Pictures. At the beginning of the month, after I called him, I asked the agent to come forward to discuss with the senior executives of Marvel Pictures."

"Then..." Bill Roses turned his head slightly and asked, "How was the result of the negotiation?"

Murphy nodded slightly, "Very ideal, Sony Columbia Pictures' plan will probably fail."

In fact, he and Robert Downey Jr. did not use any special or unfathomable means. Robert Downey Jr.'s agent just told Marvel Studios' senior executives that Robert Downey Jr. himself disliked the role of Spider-Man. In any movie where Iron Man appears, there is him or not, there is Spider-Man, and there is Spider-Man without him...

In most cases, in the face of this threat, the film company will definitely fire or replace the actors.

Many people always say that roles make actors. This statement is correct, or even very correct, but some characters are not like this, such as Tony Stark, Iron Man.

Iron Man made Robert Downey Jr. If I changed actors before Iron Man started filming, this film may not be successful. However, now that the "Iron Man" trilogy and "Avengers" have been released and achieved great success, Robert Downey Jr. has become synonymous with Iron Man. In order to retain him, Marvel Studios can even pay him $40 million in a single film...

What should I do if Robert Downey Jr. is lost? How to shoot movies such as "Captain America 3" that are being prepared? These are huge problems facing Marvel Studios.

Iron Man is the most popular character in the Avengers. Robert Downey Jr. is the most popular movie fans among these actors. These are all based on sufficient market research. Marvel Studios is also very clear that if another character plays Tony Stark, most fans will definitely not pay, which will affect the plans of the entire Marvel Universe.

It is difficult for Robert Downey Jr. to deal with it, and this has been revealed long ago, otherwise Robert Downey Jr.'s pay would not have risen to a high of 40 million US dollars.

According to the news feedback from Robert Downey Jr., Sony's lack of sincerity in cooperation proposals and his disguised threats, although Marvel Studios did not think of letting Spider go home, he believed that now is not the right time...

Just as Murphy finished his talks with Bill Roses, more and more reporters gathered at the door of the Death Star Building.

"Hi, ask."

A middle-aged reporter came to a girl with short hair with a camera, "I often saw you following Murphy recently, which newspaper and website?"
