Looking back now, the sudden rise of "Iron Man 1" in 2008 confused many people, and this is actually the reason.
¡°It¡¯s not just Robert Downey Jr. who has benefited from this trend, but also Brad Pitt and even Johnny Depp. From this comparison, we can understand that "Batman"'s willingness to soar into the darkness can be called tragic, but it is more awe-inspiring.
And Lord Stark, in addition to being a yuppie and cute, also has a high IQ, a lot of money, and the "infatuated love" trump card of "having been loyal to women after being a prostitute". How can he not be attracted by a large number of female fans?
In addition to the cultural factors analyzed above, another magic weapon of "Iron Man" is to "firmly move closer to the organization." After Li Donglai took over the second part of the series, he completely changed the direction of Iron Man's future dramas.
Let Iron Man, who was still fighting alone at the beginning, completely turn into a gorgeous and cool superhero.
No matter the fighting, the fullness of the plot, or the level of tension and excitement, it has all been improved rapidly.
This is the magic power of Li Donglai, the magic power that made Disney willing to pay a lot of money just for him to take over.
"Iron Man" began to work hard to form the "Avengers", bringing out SHIELD and bringing out the Black Widow.
Lord Stark also went all the way to run errands for the "Organization" in the ending Easter egg of "The Incredible Hulk". Under the premise that other superheroes "do nothing", the hard work of "Iron Man" made the audience naturally connect with these two. series are linked together. Subsequent facts also proved that although the collective activities of the "organization" were a group of people fighting monsters and upgrading, the final last hit of the boss was exclusive to "Iron Man", and Stark's popularity gradually surpassed that of other people (gods) above.
Although the time gap between "Steel 3" and the second part of the series is a bit long, everyone did not leave Li Donglai too far in the middle. Still following in the footsteps of Li Donglai and Iron Man, he had a big show in New York.
With the existence of the "organization", the popularity of "Iron Man" has not been lost at all, laying the foundation for the film's box office explosion.
The successful operation of "Iron Man 3" is undoubtedly a good start for the second segment of Disney Marvel's "Superhero Triple Jump" The double jump consists of "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2" and "Captain America 2" Composed, and the industry analyzes that its influence is far more than that, and its fluctuation effect will even affect the third phase of "Avengers 2". I'm afraid Disney's top executives are smiling like summer flowers now!
Based on Li Donglai¡¯s consistent strong performance in blockbusters and the current box office trend, there is no doubt that "Steel 3" has exceeded 400 million in North America. If it can withstand the impact of "Star Trek 2", it is very likely to enter the five-star club.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, Li Donglai already has three five-star movies.
It¡¯s not just the U.S. box office that¡¯s booming, except for the Chinese market, which has suspended its release. It was released simultaneously in many countries and regions around the world.
And the total global box office in the two weeks since its release has exceeded an astonishing record of 680 million, which makes the journey to break 10 even more overwhelming! Fans are shouting that it is easy to surpass the one billion box office of "Iron Man 2", but now it depends on whether the final box office can hit the US$1.3 billion of "Harry Potter Finale (Part 2)"!
In less than ten days, the global box office has exceeded 680 million. Disney naturally wants to thank Li Donglai like crazy.
Marvel CEO Kevin after the film was released. He has performed Li Donglai in public interviews more than once.
"Li is one of the few Hollywood directors I have ever seen who has artistic scheduling ability. What's even more rare is that he is only 26 years old. The whole film has been in an exciting and dynamic rhythm, but There was no oppressive feeling like 'the adrenal glands are constantly secreting', thanks to the natural and smooth connection between each action scene."
"The most 'Lee Donglai' thing is the control of the characters. In addition to the old faces in the series, Stark, Pepper Potts, and War Machine, a considerable number of supporting characters have been added this time. Such as Dr. Killian, The Mandarin, A beautiful botanist, a security guard, the President of the United States, a little boy and even a handsome boy who has clashed with Tony several times, etc. The full number of people will naturally bring strong plot pressure, but under the command of Li Donglai, these characters are still in 2 hours and 10 seconds. It is really not easy to interact and promote the plot within the limit of minutes, and to more completely shape the personalities of the respective characters.¡±
"To be honest, I was originally worried about the acceptance of fans of the original comics, after all, for the adaptation of 'Iron Patriot' and 'The Mandarin'. What Li Donglai did this time was really too bold, but at that time I still chose Believe him. The truth is, he is right, the only weakness we think is not a weakness at all in his view. The excellent adaptation of the Mandarin has become a bright spot in the movie, and the violent spin has repeatedly received praise. Even for those who have read the comics Fans from different backgrounds don¡¯t have any barriers to acceptance.¡±
Interview with Kevin. Naturally, it is indispensableTalking about "Avengers 2".
Kevin said seriously, "We very much hope that Lee can continue to take over "Avengers 2", but so far, he has already made up his mind. There is nothing we can do. He recommended Joss Whedon in this regard. We Choosing to believe again seems a little helpless, but at least he has never failed, right? But fans can rest assured that Li Donglai will serve as one of the producers of "Revenge 2"."
¡¡
There have been so many accolades, and all eyes are on Iron Man 3's performance in week two.
During this period, something happened related to Li Donglai.
Universal Pictures officially announced that Al Pacino has left the dubbing crew of "Despicable Me 2", but this time it is not because of Pacino's schedule, but because he was fired!
It is absolutely shocking news to dare to fire Pacino these days. Faced with this news, Pacino remained silent. The official news from Universal was "discord in creative concepts." The character Pacino voices is Eduardo, the arch-nemesis of the protagonist Gru in the second film. According to internal sources, this person is also a mad scientist with a weird personality. Now Universal has officially hired Benjamin Blood to replace Al Pacino. Location.
However, things are still going well in business. This week, the crew of "Despicable Me 2" released news. In addition to claiming that Al Pacino left the crew due to differences in creative ideas, all the staff still thanked him for his contribution to the film. Support blah blah blah
And Li Donglai's championship single "happy" was officially selected as the theme song of "Minions". After spending a considerable amount of copyright fees, Li Donglai's new songs can become more popular following the movie.
Marvel has seen the popularity of hero movies, and this week it once again took back the rights to "Hell Knight" and "Blade Runner".
This is also another recycling move since Marvel took back "Daredevil" last year. However, in Marvel's view, taking back the adaptation rights does not represent their strength, but the exhaustion of the vitality of the work.
Because according to the earliest decision, if no works or derivatives adapted from comics appear within a period of time, Marvel will determine that the work has no adaptation value and can take it back. As we all know, although the first part of "Hell Knight" was of low quality, it still managed to gross over 100 million in box office, and the sequel released last year was really terrible. Even big names like Cage can't bring movies back to life.
"Blade" was also shelved after the launch of the trilogy, and it also came to an end due to the imprisonment of the protagonist.
The raging entertainment industry has never calmed down the disputes.
This week, Leonardo¡¯s new film ¡°The Great Gatsby¡±, which competed with Lee Dong-lai¡¯s ¡°Gravity¡± at Cannes, was released in 3,535 theaters across the United States.
"The Great Gatsby", an adaptation of the famous novel starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has been well received by the American media since its release and has performed well so far. Finally, Xiao Lizi's pain from being stabbed in the air by Li Donglai in Cannes has subsided a lot.
This week, it ranked second on the list with a score of US$51.11 million, which is really not easy.
With a box office of US$51.11 million, this result is a solid championship result in normal times.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that this was the second week of the summer of 2013, and it was a pity that he met Li Donglai again.
Li Donglai is responsible for success and Li Donglai is responsible for failure.
When we first collaborated with Li Donglai on "Inception", we were so domineering. Relives the glory days of DiCaprio's shipwreck films. It's a pity that since then, Leo's fame has become more and more popular, his beard has become longer and longer, and his belly has become bigger and bigger. The women around me come one after another, never giving up on self-destruction.
The only one who can compete with him in Hollywood is Justin Bieber.
??Two masters who destroy their money all day long!
The North American weekend box office rankings from May 10th to May 12th, 2013 were announced. "Iron Man 3", which won the top spot with US$174 million last week, retained its title. "The Great Gatsby," an adaptation of the famous novel starring Leonardo DiCaprio, ranked second on the list with a revenue of $51.11 million!

At this time last year, "Avengers" was retaining the championship with a second-week performance of $103 million, and the market total also successfully hit a record high. Although there is no such "wonderful achievement" in 2013, the interaction between "Iron Man" and "Gatsby" is equally gratifying.
In the second week after Iron Man took off, Disney still maintained a huge theatrical release of 4,253 theaters.model. Although the drop rate of "Iron Man 3" in the second week is close to 60% (58.4%), this is entirely due to the huge "base" of US$174 million in the first week, which is really nothing to worry about!
The next week, the revenue continued to be US$72.47 million, and the single-library performance was still guaranteed to be as high as US$17,040! Various box office records are still being rewritten.
Li Donglai¡¯s achievements in four billion-dollar blockbusters have taken another step forward.
