Next year, the company should open a few more Marvel hero movies. As far as I can see, Spider-Man, Punisher, X-Men, etc., you can try to put them on the screen." Xia Tian said to Jerry Brookheimer.

Spider-Man has always been the pride of Marvel, one of the most popular superheroes, and even his popularity surpassed the DC Superman. The reason for this is mainly because Spider-Man's creation is closer to ordinary people and is known as a "community hero".

Although Spider-Man has super powers, he still has to face many difficulties such as work, love, and life. He can be said to be one of the most miserable Spider-Man in life, so it makes people feel more intimate.

In his previous life, three "Spider-Man" movies played by Toby Maguire were quite popular, with a total budget cost of $570 million, but the global box office was as high as $2.5 billion, which can be said to be a big profit.

It was also the success of the superhero movie "Spider-Man" that laid the foundation for the spring of comic-replaced heroes. Otherwise, the Marvel Universe would have waited for a few more years.

Punisher is another character under Marvel, but unlike Spider-Man's affinity, humor, and does not kill, Punisher is quite violent.

In the comics, his setting is a member of the US Marine Corps. He is a level 10 agent recognized by Nick Fury of SHIELD. He is proficient in various skills such as guns, fighting, infiltration, tracking, confession, intelligence, battlefield therapy, etc. It can be said that he is the highest level of human combat power and a special forces among special forces.

The wife and children of the Punisher were killed and silenced after witnessing the crime of the Black Gang. Because Falu finally sheltered these criminals and left his hatred nowhere to be vented, he embarked on the path of violence and violence.

The Punisher is a typical anti-hero under Marvel. He has an extreme personality and a bloody and violent personality. He punishes all those who he thinks are guilty and has cruel means, so if you want to make a movie, it must be R-level.

However, there are many such violent aesthetic films. In the past life, "The Punisher" was brought to the screen by Lionsgate Pictures, but because the plot design was too mentally retarded and the villain was almost of no level, the film became a mediocre work, and the box office and reputation were not high.

Summer is preparing to make people polish the script of "The Punisher" well and strive to make it into a popular cult anti-hero film. I believe that movie fans will appreciate it.

...

As for the X-Men, it is a group of superheroes under Marvel, which is not inferior to Spider-Man. In fact, compared to the big guys in the world with DC Comics, Marvel Comics still advocates "there are many people and the power is great."

For example, DC includes Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, etc., and they are all very popular.

Not many Marvel individual heroes are outstanding, but more are superheroes that appear in groups, such as the Avengers, X-Men, Inhumans, Fantastic Four, etc.

This is mainly because DC Comics appeared earlier. DC Comics was founded in 1934 and launched its first superhero - Superman in 1938, which has since rewritten the history of American comic superheroes. The next year, it launched the famous Batman; in 1940 it launched the Flash, and in 1941 it launched Wonder Woman...

In comparison, Marvel was founded in 1939 and at the beginning, there was only one superhero - Namo, which is the Marvel version of Aquaman.

When it began to grow, DC Comics had already become a climate. Therefore, it launched a single superhero to compete with DC's already famous heroes, and it was difficult to win opportunities.

So later Marvel thought of competing with individual DC heroes in the form of superhero combinations, and for this reason, it launched Fantastic Four and Avengers, etc.

X-Men, I took it out and looked at it alone, and each one was not attractive, but it was amazingly charming when combined. Therefore, it became very popular after it was launched.

"X-Men" has been adapted into a film and television series many times in his previous life, with very good box office and ratings. Including prequels, legends, etc., the total box office exceeds 4 billion US dollars, with an average of 480 million US dollars per movie, which can be said to be quite good.

In fact, summer had the idea of ​​making "X-Men" into a movie before, but computer special effects at that time did not allow it. If the shooting was done, the cost would be high, so it has been delayed until now.

However, computer special effects technology has now progressed to a very good stage. As can be seen from the "Mummy" and "The Matrix" filmed at the same time, it is close to the point of being fake and real, and the cost has been greatly reduced.

Even if you shoot movies like the X-Men that require more special effects, the cost of about 100 million US dollars can be supported. So the filming of this movie was launched in the summer.

...

"The box office of comic-adapted movies is indeed good," Jerry Brookheimer nodded, "But to be honest, their costs are still relatively high. If the box office fails, our losses will be huge."

Because comic-adapted movies require computer special effects, the cost is very high. Even "Darkward" and "Blade Warrior" are just fist and foot skills, not superheroes that can destroy the world at any time, and the cost of filming is more than 50 million US dollars. For example, "Men in Black" has a cost of 120 million US dollars.

Although all these movies made money in the end, it has to be said that during the production process, Jerry Brookheimer was actually quite worried, fearing that a company would lose money if it was not filmed properly.

"I know, but in the future, the mainstream Hollywood movies will almost all be such special effects blockbusters, and the cost is rarely less than $100 million." Xia Tian smiled, "After all, there are too many ways to entertain now. If you are reluctant to spend money, why should you let the audience pay?"

There are so many things that can be played at this stage, including TV, electronic games, online games...the entertainment is much higher than watching movies. If you want to compete with these entertainment methods for audiences, the film industry naturally needs to increase investment.

As far as Xia Tian knows, in the past life, Hollywood was indeed a world of special effects blockbusters. Even B-production and C-production would add a lot of special effects to attract audiences. If there were no special effects, it would almost never attract audiences.

The addition of special effects will naturally lead to an increase in the cost of movies, which is irreversible. As far as summer knows, in 2014, the average cost of Hollywood blockbusters was $200 million.

For example, some particularly large productions can even cost 300 million to 400 million US dollars, so it is certain to spend money. However, as long as you pay, you can get a reward.

"That's right, electronic games are very popular now. Young people like to play games and don't like watching movies anymore." Jerry Brookheimer sighed, and suddenly he suggested, "Boss, do you think we can adapt the game to shoot?"
