Chapter 1025: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Movies like "The Incredible Hulk" may lose half of the fun of watching movies if you don't go to the theater to watch them. The huge picture on the big screen and the deafening sound waves are temporarily unavailable for home entertainment equipment.

In summer, what the audience wants is sensory stimulation, not a storm of thinking.

The difference between a director and a director is also quite large. Joss Whedon and Ang Lee have completely different styles.

The saying that the art industry has specialization is not just a talk, it is clearly reflected in Hollywood.

Directors of art films are born for ideas, and directors of special effects entertainment films are born for vision. The two specialize in "skills" and produce completely different results.

The success of "Hulk" has undoubtedly put Marvel Entertainment's Avengers plan on the fast track.

Marvel Entertainment held a press conference on Monday to officially announce the establishment of the "Avengers" project, and announced that Joss Whedon will be the director.

The production budget of this project will be as high as 200 million US dollars, absolutely top-level commercial production.

If it is said that after the release of "Iron Man", many people in and outside Hollywood circles think that Marvel Entertainment's Avengers plan may not be successful. Superhero movies and even mainstream commercial movies in Hollywood may usher in a new era.

After more than two years of operation of Netflix streaming media, it also has a certain sense of the entertainment market. Mark Randolph called Ronan, hoping that the works related to the Marvel Avengers project can be directly streamed on Netflix in the future. The media is played by the platform.

Ronan also specially convened Kevin Feige and George Clint for a discussion to determine the main attack direction of the first series when the success of the Avengers project can be expected and the future becomes clearer.

Robert Iger, who is in charge of the company's daily operations and management, also participated in this small meeting because of personnel calls.

"Marvel Entertainment does not have a dedicated drama production department."

This small meeting was chaired by Robert Iger: "Marvel's drama development requires the full cooperation of Marvel and Sandsea Entertainment."

George Clint said: "There is no problem with the cooperation, but Shahai Entertainment also has practical difficulties." He glanced at Ronan and said directly: "Currently, Sandhai Entertainment is undertaking a number of Netflix streaming media customization projects. The staff is very tight.”

Kevin Fitch knows that Marvel Entertainment does not have the ability to independently produce series,

Said: "This is a long-term plan. I will temporarily form a small team to prepare copywriting work in advance."

Robert Iger said: "The two of you have assigned your own people to work together. The crew is a long-term plan. According to Ronan's plan, it will not be released until after "The Avengers" is released at the earliest."

Ronan then said: "With enough popularity of the movie, it will fully promote works including drama series and animation."

What he meant was very clear. The Marvel superhero movie series is far from hot enough.

At the earliest, it will have to wait until after "The Avengers" before Marvel's dispatch can really take shape and pull related works in all directions.

George Clint nodded: "I have no objection, and I will immediately recruit suitable personnel."

Kevin Feige said: "I will keep in touch with George."

Robert Iger said directly: "If you have any questions, please contact me or Ronan in time."

At this time, Connie put a copy of the prepared text in front of everyone. The text was not thick, and it was Ronan's simple plan.

Ronan quickly said: "In comics, there are many well-known characters who may not appear in movies in the future, such as the main characters in SHIELD and Hydra. These are some of my thoughts on the first Marvel series, Focusing on S.H.I.E.L.D., for example, S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot to do from its initial founding by Peggy Carter and Howard Stark to becoming an international security organization.”

Kevin Fitch said: "The SHIELD is a key organization among the Avengers. With SHIELD as the background, it is very suitable for adaptation."

George Clint has limited knowledge of Marvel comics and did not express any opinions.

Ronan said again: "I'm only responsible for providing suggestions, Kevin. The one who knows Marvel comics best is Marvel itself. You will be fully responsible for the specific plans and scripts."

Kevin Finch said, "No problem."

Ronan nodded to Robert Iger, and Robert Iger immediately announced the end of the meeting.

George Clint and Kevin Fitch left the meeting room and entered the elevator, obviously wanting to communicate.

Robert Iger and Ronan also chatted for a while, mainly about 20th Century Fox.

The relevant plans are still at the level of the core team around Ronan and Robert Iger for the time being. If they want to be implemented, they must wait for the right opportunity.

This opportunity is not just waiting, but also actively creating it.

Ronan returned to the office, called Finch, and asked him and his security team to be more vigilant, and put them outside to collect as much relevant information as possible without attracting attention.

At noon, Ronan was going to have lunch with Jessica Felton. Jessica Felton was not in the office and went out to meet with the director.

While she was working on the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4", she was also advancing some preparatory work for "Hot Girl".

Such as finding the right director and actors.

Ronan heard Jessica Felton talk about some situations before. Because of the professional relationship of the two heroines, it is impossible to use actors who are too young. Basically, they will choose actors born between 1970 and 1980. .

During this period of time, Hollywood has many actresses with outstanding acting skills and appearance, and their salaries are not very high.

In the afternoon, Ronan met with Robert Lee, and negotiations with Warner Bros. made little progress.

Since his side is not in a hurry at all, the conditions offered can only be described as a lion's mouth. As long as possible, Ronan still wants to fight for the copyright of the film and television adaptation of "Wonder Woman".

This is also where the biggest differences between the two parties lie. Warner Bros. and DC Comics don't want to see another "Batman" series of movies appear.

"Time is against us."

In the meeting room of the Warner Building in Burbank, DC Comics CEO Diego Harris looked serious: "The success of "The Dark Knight" can be expected. If it is delayed until the success of "The Dark Knight", we may pay more cost."

Charles Rowan complained: "More than a year ago, I reflected on Ronan Anderson's conditions. At that time, we were not considered passive..."

Kevin Tsuhara's eyes swept over, and Charles Rowan could only shut up.

Another Warner Bros. executive said: "Can we do something with Christopher Nolan?"

Charles Rowan reminded: "Christopher Nolan has signed a contract with Sandsea Entertainment and is preparing to shoot a major science fiction production. What Warner Bros. can give him, Relativity Entertainment can also give him. With his relationship with Ronan Anderson relationship, it is more likely to sell us backhand.”

Kevin Tsuhara spoke slowly at this time: "The copyright of Wonder Woman is absolutely not allowed, this is our bottom line!"

Both Diego Harris and Charles Rowan nodded. This is the consensus of all of them. Warner Bros. and DC Comics are advancing the Justice League movie universe plan. How can Wonder Woman, one of the three giants of justice, be absent?

There is a Black Widow in the Marvel Avengers universe, and the Justice League universe should also have a corresponding female character.

When it comes to fame and influence, Wonder Woman beats Black Widow in every aspect.

Kevin Tsuhara asks: "Are there any sequels to the Batman franchise besides The Dark Knight Rises?"

Charles Rowan replied: "Christopher Nolan only signed a trilogy contract. According to what I know about him, after the trilogy is over, it is impossible for him to continue directing this series."

Diego Harris said: "It's enough to change the director. Once the trilogy is a big hit, the subsequent sequels can still maintain enough influence. We don't have to have a certain director. There are many dark wind directors in Hollywood, such as Say Zach Snyder."

Kevin Tsuhara said: "Charles, can this series be directly connected to our Justice League universe."

Charles Rowan pondered for a while, and said: "I discussed this issue with Zach Schneider, and he thinks that the sequel is very feasible as long as it is properly adjusted."

"Let Christopher Nolan complete his trilogy." Kevin Tsuhara said: "We will find other directors to take over for the sequel, and we must make full use of the established advantages."

He glanced at everyone in the conference room: "In this case, it is imperative to get back the investment rights."

Diego Harris continued: "There is no possibility of talking about Wonder Woman, but Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad are fringe characters, we can consider..."

Charles Rowan said: "I suggest that, except for the remake copyright of the two old movies, other copyrights should not be included in the transaction. It is better to pay Relativity Entertainment a certain amount of money compensation."

"They want $100 million!" Diego Harris said. "There's no room for bargaining."

Charles-Rowan said: "Don't forget, this includes the offline revenue rights of "Battle Hour" and "Dark Knight."

The people below were divided into two factions, supporting Charles Rowan and Diego Harris respectively, and the conference room was arguing for a while.

"Be quiet!" Kevin Tsuhara and other conference rooms regained their silence, and said, "Any one of these two conditions is fine. I only ask for one thing. Before "The Dark Knight" is released, the problem must be resolved."

Others stopped talking, but everyone knew that this negotiation was not easy.

Kevin Tsuhara said again: "Now let's talk about another question. With the success of "Hulk", Marvel Entertainment's Avengers movie universe has already sold two movies, and the progress is far ahead of the Justice League. Cinematic universe! What about us? Not even a single movie has been released!"

"Diego, Charles! You need to urge Zack Snyder and Martin Campbell to finish "Watchmen" and "Green Lantern."
