But the problem is that Jia Hongjian doesn¡¯t want to make a superhero movie. This really has nothing to do with Nolan. Why on earth is he unwilling to take pictures? In fact, to put it bluntly, I just took enough pictures! Jia Hongjian is not a fan of American comics to begin with, nor does he have any special love for American superheroes. Therefore, it is already good to be able to make such a set of four "Batman" films, but do you want him to continue filming? It¡¯s really better not to discuss it! For a movie like Batman, Jia Hongjian didn't know much about the background. After he bought the filming rights, he still had to spend some time to make up for it urgently. Only then did he understand a lot of the Batman story. set up. It can be said that if the background of a film like Batman was not just suitable for Jia Hongjian to display his i-realistic style, and if such a film was not suitable for making Nolan famous, then Jia Hongjian would not buy Batman at all. Photography rights! After all, although Batman's box office will be very high and he can make money, the problem is that if he spends such a thought on other aspects, he can definitely make more! After all, Jia Hongjian is the boss of Huaxia Hi-Tech. If Huaxia Hi-Tech is making a lot of money, why not make more money by making movies?
After he and Nolan teamed up to shoot three of the four "Batman" movies, for him, the "date" with the superhero was over. He was originally just a part-time job, so there was no need for it. All my energy is spent on places like this! What if he has the time to do something? Why can't he make back the money he earned from making movies? Why do you have to make money in such an area? Even if he can be a producer, being a producer requires a lot of energy, and it doesn't just mean that he can do it in name only. He would be happy to just name it, but would Warner be happy with it? Warner also felt that if it only used Jia Hongjian's name, the film could only be used to deceive people and make money. After all, the script had nothing to do with Jia Hongjian!
Under such a situation, the Warner people were anxious at that time. But it was useless no matter how anxious he was, because Jia Hongjian just didn't want to agree. But this Warner guy is really good. After bidding farewell to Jia Hongjian, this guy really didn¡¯t give up the idea of ??bringing Jia Hongjian over. It was like he was clearly rejected by the girl¡¯s card, but the result is still going on. Just like a person who shamelessly pesters a girl, he thinks he can still be rescued. He feels that even if Jia Hongjian clearly refuses, in his opinion, although Jia Hongjian clearly refuses, it does not mean that Jia Hongjian clearly refuses. Hongjian really couldn't come and help them with Warner's work! Because Jia Hongjian has many bonds
Of course, this is not to say that Warner Entertainment¡¯s upper management, Time Warner Media Group, has any relationship with Jia Hongjian, because even if the upper management of Time Warner Media Group has a good relationship with Jia Hongjian, it does not mean that the upper management will do it for such a movie. He said hello to Jia Hongjian about the matter, hoping that Jia Hongjian would give him face. Even if he really said hello like this, Jia Hongjian wouldn't necessarily give him face, right? After all, the relationship between us is just a cooperative relationship, and it is not so deep that I have to agree! So what should be done about this matter? Such a special correspondent quickly thought of a good idea - after bidding farewell to Jia Hongjian, he came to DreamWorks again the next day, but this time he did not come to see Jia Hongjian, but to come to see Jia Hongjian. Katzenberg's! Why did he come to Katzenberg?
"Mr. Katzenberg, such a plan will be very beneficial to your DreamWorks! I know that your goal is to surpass Disney. How can a rich man like Jia Hongjian have such good talent to make movies?" The pictures are beautiful and profitable. This is really because God was moved by you. God acknowledged your wishes and sent Jia Hongjian to the human world to meet you" Such a representative just started talking to Ka When Sunberg spoke, that was quite a full circle! But after going around in a circle and pleasing Katzenberg so much, the Warner representative began to go straight to the point - "But now there is such a good opportunity in front of you to keep up with Disney, but But due to various reasons, you may miss it!"
Yes, this Warner representative wants to describe the matter of letting Jia Hongjian film the Superman series and long-term cooperation with Warner as a shortcut for Katzenberg to realize his dream! In some ways, this cannot be said to be wrong. Because after entering the new millennium, under the leadership of the old king of Disney, Disney began to transform. They are not just the Disney that always made cartoons and opened amusement parks like before, they have now also invaded the field of live-action movies, and the movies they make have nothing to do with cartoons! For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released by Disney!
Although DreamWorks has long started to make CG animated movies that have invaded Disney's field, and because of the high quality of their work, the market's box office response has been pretty good. But in recent years, Disney has also entered DreamWorks. They first started shooting real-life movies.?This is the main business of movies, so cross competition has begun! If DreamWorks can really catch up with or even surpass Disney, we really don¡¯t know how many years it will take! After all, this Disney amusement park can still contribute a lot of profits every year! A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, isn't it? And now such a representative wants to convince Katzenberg to cooperate with Warner to turn the various DC superhero copyrights held by Warner into various live-action movies, and then exchange them for real money and silver dollars. This can speed up DreamWorks catching up with Disney! Such a statement will certainly make Katzenberg tempted. After all, if Jia Hongjian agrees, DreamWorks will earn more than one billion US dollars a year! With more and more money, maybe DreamWorks can invest in building its own theme park in the future, right? At that time, Katzenberg can take a good look at the faces of Disney people!
??It¡¯s a coincidence that when it didn¡¯t make sense for someone from Warner to come to Jia Hongjian, so he turned to Katzenberg and wanted to save the country in a roundabout way, someone else also found Jia Hongjian. "Hello Mr. Jia, I am Kevin Feige, the new president of Marvel. I have participated in the shooting plans of every live-action movie of Marvel. Starting from the first X-Men authorized by Marvel, I have served as The person in charge assigned by Marvel to the crew is the producer of the movie, and now every Marvel movie has my participation. This time I came with a great plan that I wanted to share with Mr. Jia, that is Let's form the Avengers Alliance? As long as we can successfully cooperate, it will suddenly be a huge cooperation plan that will last until at least 2020 in the first phase!" A fat white man said to Jia Hongjian with a smile. .
This fat white guy really climbed up from the bottom! It turns out that after Marvel licensed the rights to the XX Men series to 20th Century Fox, this fat white man was dispatched as a representative of Marvel. Such a dispatch would definitely not be able to dispatch a particularly important leader, and for such a fat man, he had worked hard little by little to climb up the ladder in the past seven or eight years. By this time in 2007, he was really Became the new president of Marvel! This is simply a very powerful inspirational story! And if such a fat white man comes to find Jia Hongjian now, of course he has a big plan to come to Jia Hongjian!
What is his plan? Of course it¡¯s the ¡°Avengers¡± plan I mentioned before! In the past, Marvel was not backed by a big boss like DC. It could turn the copyrights in its hands into movies to make money. So in the beginning, Marvel just relied on licensing out products and then getting a share. But the problem is that this share is very small. After all, the investment is not made by Marvel, and the filming has nothing to do with Marvel. So after "X-Men" and the "Batman" series that Sony took away, the combined box office of these films in North America alone has exceeded 1 billion, but Marvel only got a share of about 100 million. ! Although they also made a lot of money in terms of copyright, the total is still far less than that of 20th Century Fox and Sony! And after such a fat white man became the president, he immediately put forward his own plan - hadn't he been in the producer business for several years? So he proposed that as the president, he wanted to make more money for the company, and he wanted to keep the company's other copyrights to invest in making movies, so that most of the profits would belong to Marvel! How much money will this make Marvel?
Especially the first three of the Batman tetralogy filmed by Jia Hongjian and the others, the various money-making crazies really made Marvel¡¯s board of directors so jealous, so in the end they chose such a fat white man to be the president! After the CEO took office, of course he wanted to make his plan come true, but if he had to do it alone, the risk would be a bit high! Although this fat white guy has been a producer for many years, he also knows about Fox, Sony, and the movies they make make a lot of money, but if Marvel invests their own money, the results may not necessarily be good! For a movie like "The Incredible Hulk", Ang Lee was hired to shoot it, but the box office results were really not that good! Awesomely, a mighty Hulk venting violence was filmed into the inner struggle of a literary young man! What the hell is this!
So after this fat white man saw Jia Hongjian, who was very popular on the market, he suddenly thought of something - how about asking Jia Hongjian to help? Or how about letting DreamWorks cooperate with Marvel? After all, Marvel itself is just a comic company, and their company has never made a movie. Not only does it not have all kinds of talents and equipment, it doesn't even have publishing and distribution channels! Once a film like this is made, it must be released! Right? This always requires negotiation with the theater, right? Should he, the CEO, be involved in such negotiations? Can other movie theaters be optimistic about his CEO? He is actually not very famous in the film industry! So cooperating with a medium-sized film company like DreamWorks is a very good choice!
oneOn the one hand, DreamWorks is not like Sony or 20th Century Fox, which has such a big reputation and a big appetite, and it won't ask for a huge share of the profits all at once, right? And this DreamWorks also has Jia Hongjian and Nolan! At the same time, DreamWorks is not very well-funded, so if DreamWorks cooperates with Marvel, both parties will merge the investment and both parties will share the profits. In the end, everyone will share the risk and share the results, which will also allow him, as the president, to secure his position at once. Location-wise, right? In one fell swoop, he, as a newly appointed CEO, could quickly prove that he was on the right track! Although Marvel¡¯s income will be less then, it will be easier to succeed! What he needs is to prove himself! r1152
