Chapter 2179 In Marvel

Marvel, because of Palmater's change of focus, Kevin Feige now looks more and more energetic.

"Feng, "Iron Man" is progressing very smoothly, and the post-production is nearing completion. The trailer specially produced for the Super Bowl is also in the final polishing stage," Feige reported to Feng Yiping enthusiastically.

His excited expression and somewhat fanatical eyes make it easy to see his ambition.

That is to hope that the first movie produced by Marvel will be a great success at the box office and word of mouth, and show everyone that Marvel movies are better produced by Marvel itself, not Fox or Sony.

Feng Yiping also likes this kind of ambition.

"There are already several versions of trailers, Feng, do you want to see them?" Feige asked.

Feng Yiping waved his hand.

Seriously speaking, he is not a die-hard Marvel fan. Speaking of which, the domestic people have not been influenced by Marvel comics since childhood, so there are not many people who have become die-hard Marvel fans.

However, as a man, I still yearn for such explosive action movies that will make your adrenaline surge.

Especially as the first movie produced by its own Marvel.

But precisely because of this, Feng Yiping didn't want to see it in advance.

"I won't read it for now. Professional matters are up to you. I don't want my unprofessional opinions to have a bad influence on you."

In terms of expectations, he and Feige are similar. He also hopes that the first movie produced by Marvel after being acquired by him will be a great success.

For this reason, although he was quite curious, he had no involvement at all from the project establishment, shooting, post-production, publicity and distribution plans of this film, that is, he did not interfere at all.

Including his choice for the most important female role in the film, or the vase - in the Iron Man movie, the female character can only be the vase, that is, Tony Stark, Iron Man's female secretary, he personally is quite fond of it. There are some different views.

Although it will be released a year in advance, there is no difference in casting between this version of Iron Man and the Iron Man he is familiar with.

He really has always had a problem with the little Pepper next to Iron Man, played by Gwyneth Paltrow.

This female star has mixed reviews in Hollywood - mainly because she is very unpopular with female stars in Hollywood. Although she does have a classical temperament, to Feng Yiping, she is like another Brad Pitt character. A famous ex-girlfriend, oh, I should say ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, at least in terms of their current external conditions, is really not worthy of their name.

Maybe they were all beautiful when they were young, but now Gwyneth Paltrow looks shriveled and haggard, a bit like a yellowing cactus. Robert Downey Jr., who is 7 years older than her, They all look younger than her.

She may be called smart and capable now, but at least judging from the oriental aesthetics, she really can't be called sexy and charming.

Feng Yiping is very interested in this role, which will be played by Charlize Theron.

Although Theron is already over 30 years old and is not at the peak of her appearance, she is three years younger than Paltrow after all, and her maintenance is indeed not very good. I believe many people have watched her 2005 movie " "Warrior" was definitely not for the plot of that movie.

I also believe that many people have used it more than once.

I believe there are many people who drool all over the place every time they see Theron wearing that black tights in the film.

Although there are some differences between Eastern and Western aesthetics, Feng Yiping believes that if the current Theron and Paltrow are put together in front of the global audience, more people will definitely like Theron more.

I believe Theron can play this role very well.

But he did not express his opinion.

After all, the version of "Iron Man" he was familiar with, Pepper Potts, starred Paltrow, and the results were gratifying.

Similarly, although the special effects production company in India is now well-known in Hollywood, including Hollywood, due to its heavy investment, he did not interfere in the special effects production of Iron Man this time, and still followed Feige's wishes.

Therefore, the special effects production of this Iron Man is still produced by Digital Domain, which is the second largest animation special effects company in the world.

Mixed in the shooting team, the staff of Feng Yiping's own special effects company concluded that this special effects company, founded by James Cameron's royal photographer and the original team executives of Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, is indeed powerful. Extraordinary.

Similarly, in order not to affect the work of Fei Qi and others, Feng Yiping still did not go to the set even though he was very interested in the filming process of such a blockbuster...

The most important change that Feng Yiping brought to this film should be that his acquisition and full financial support allowed the film to be released one year ahead of schedule, in 2007 instead of 2008.

He personally feels that this change should also be positive.

At least he believes that in 2007, whether in China, the United States or Europe, more people will be in the mood to go to cinemas and watch movies.

"Feng, thank you for supporting my suggestion," Feige said. "I believe this Super Bowl ad can bring a big increase to our box office."

Feng Yiping also didn't expect that when Marvel was making the first movie, Feige and Palmater actually came to him directly because of a problem.

That is, Feige hopes to advertise in the Super Bowl, but Palmater is not happy. In the words of the old man, "30 seconds, 2.5 million US dollars! Are they robbing money? No, they are sucking blood,"

But Feng Yiping ultimately chose to support Feiqi.

For the United States, the influence of the Super Bowl is truly unparalleled. Its nickname of the American Spring Festival Gala is not just a joke.

The number of viewers will definitely exceed 100 million, which is usually more than the number of people who voted for the presidential election.

Even the number of people organizing parties during the Super Bowl exceeds 20 million.

Because of the influence of the United States, the Super Bowl, like the World Cup, also has many fans around the world. This year's Super Bowl will be broadcast by more than 200 TV stations in more than 150 countries around the world.

Feng Yiping believes that although the investment in advertising on the Super Bowl is indeed expensive, it will definitely be worth it.

Mainly because of his impression, Marvel seemed to have done an advertisement in the Super Bowl later.

"Our first movie is worth all the efforts we put in," Feng Yiping said. "Just Feige, you should also be considerate of Palmater. Objectively speaking, especially the type of film we are shooting. Movies are all high-risk projects,"

In terms of the shooting budget, Feng Yiping still granted Palmater great rights. Although this will bring certain constraints to Feige and his team, Feng Yiping believes that such pressure is actually beneficial.

Such pressure will encourage Fitch and his team to do a better job.

Many times, having someone on top really helps people tap into their full potential and do a better job.

From this point of view, he will regard this as a long-term policy.

Of course, in the process, he will also resolve the negative impact of some of Parmat's stingy practices.

"I understand Palmater's intention. Before you took over, Marvel's situation was indeed not optimistic. If it weren't for Palmater's strict cost control, we might have suffered losses for shareholders for many fiscal years," Feige said. .

"It's just that I feel that being too strict on cost control is not necessarily a good thing. Some of his ways of doing things were suitable for the past, but not necessarily suitable for now,"

"You know Feng, in order to reduce risks and avoid production costs, Marvel only relied on selling characters and stories to obtain licensing income. Although this is safe, it also limits our profits,"

"Looking at the high profits that Fox and Sony have made because of X-Men and Spider-Man, I don't think there is a single colleague within the company who has no objection,"

"We are also convinced that the Marvel movies produced by Marvel ourselves will be more popular with movie fans,"

"What you said makes sense, and you should understand that on this point, I completely agree with you," Feng Yiping said.

But even so, Feng Yiping still insists that when Feige is preparing for his next movie, he will still be faced with difficulties and constraints from Palmater in terms of budget.

"I believe Parmat shares the same view as us, but he is indeed more risk-conscious than us,"

Seeing that Feng Yiping had no intention of relenting, Fei Qi did not force him. Objectively speaking, the support he received now was enough.

"Feng, your suggestions on publicity are really very effective. So far, we have organized three activities for Marvel fans for this movie. The news was only revealed less than two days ago. We hope it will be premiered by us." The number of Marvel fans attending the red carpet ceremony now exceeds 30,000,"

"Haha, this must be the most fiercely competitive competition in the United States," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

His suggestion is just an application of Internet marketing.

As a comic company with a long history, Marvel already has a large fan base. Managing this fan base well will undoubtedly be a good addition to Marvel's series of movies.

Therefore, after Iron Man was put into filming, Feige carefully organized several activities, which successfully aroused the great attention of many Marvel fans to Iron Man.

As a major reward of the event, five lucky Marvel fans who will be randomly selected will attend the premiere of Iron Man together with the stars as guests.

"The competition is indeed unprecedentedly fierce. We estimate that the final number of participants in the lottery will exceed 50,000. We have to thank you Feng. This is equivalent to locking in a large number of viewers for us in advance," Feige said.

"I have to thank you for your hard work," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "Let us wait for the good news in May."

The smug and confident Fitch had just left the office for a while when a man immediately appeared at Feng Yiping's door. "Feng, can I come in?" Collins asked at the door.
