Feng Yu was sitting in a villa in Los Angeles, watching a movie with Elena. The source of Iron Man's film cannot be obtained by others, but Feng Yu can.
There is a small cinema in my villa. Although it is not as luxurious as the cinema in Kirilenko Manor, it is enough for a dozen people to watch together, and the seats are more comfortable.
"Ah, you have so few scenes. What's wrong with that director!"
Elena was a little embarrassed: "I shot just a few shots many times. But you couldn't see it at all when filming, but after it was turned into a movie, it turned out to be so exciting!"
A lot of green screens were used during filming. When Feng Yu watched these actors perform, they all looked like fools. But after the special effects, it really turned into a visual feast.
To put it simply, the plot of Iron Man is smooth, but there is nothing particularly outstanding. A very simple counterattack routine. This method is widely used in novels and comics.
But as a popcorn movie, it's still attractive enough. From beginning to end, you will be able to follow the plot, and the fighting scenes are even more exciting.
"By the way, have you finished filming Inception?"
"Not yet. Many props are troublesome to make. At that time, the company's resources were prioritized on 007 and Iron Man. So according to the plan, Inception will not be released until next year. Now we are filming and producing at the same time. But it will be soon. I guess we won’t be able to finish filming in another month.”
"Well, you can choose the company's script at that time. As long as you like it, you don't have to worry about whether it's suitable or not."
Originally, there was a character in the Marvel movie that was very suitable for Elena, and that was Black Widow. The original story was about a Soviet agent.
But because in the script, Black Widow had an emotional entanglement with Captain America, Elena gave up on her own initiative. This made Feng Yu very satisfied. He couldn't bear to kiss his girl with others.
Elena is half lying in Feng Yu's arms: "No, I can't let the movie you invest in lose money. You have never lost money in business, and you can't let this change because of me. And I am already very happy singing and dancing, the movie Just a side hustle.”
"Well, in the future, let the company specially collect a few scripts for you, or ask the gold medal screenwriter to tailor two or three scripts for you."

"Has the box office of Iron Man been released on its opening day? How much is the total?" asked the president of Sunni Pictures.
"Twenty million dollars."
"Only 20 million U.S. dollars? Then it's pretty good if their movie can exceed 300 million U.S. dollars at the box office. Not counting the actors' remuneration, the cost of this movie will be more than 100 million U.S. dollars, right? Hahaha, this time they will pay for it!"
"President, I am talking about the North American box office. This Iron Man was released simultaneously around the world. The overseas box office statistics have not been completed yet, but it is said that it is not worse than North America."
What? The box office in North America alone reached 20 million US dollars, so wouldn’t the global box office reach 40 million US dollars? Calculating based on the normal box office drop ratio, wouldn’t this movie’s global box office exceed US$600 million? !
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Iron Man is not a popular heroic character in Marvel comics, so how could he be so popular
If even Iron Man can have such a high box office, then when other heroic characters in the Marvel universe are released, won't the box office explode
Including the development of peripheral products, wouldn't Fengyu Holdings Group make a lot of money by acquiring Marvel Studios? Maybe within three to five years, you can recover your capital, and then you can make money for at least ten years, or even longer!
Damn it, why didn’t Sunny think of buying Marvel Studios back then
But even if they want to buy it, they may not be able to offer a higher price than Disney, and it is said that Fengyu Holdings Group offers a higher price than Disney!
…
Cooper, the CEO of Disney Pictures, was sipping his coffee slowly. When he saw the assistant coming in, he raised his head slightly: "The statistical results are out? How much?"
"Forty-three million two hundred and eighty thousand dollars!"
Phew~~
Cough cough cough~~~
Cooper stood up in embarrassment and took out a few pieces of paper to wipe the coffee on his body.
"How many did you just say? I'm talking about the first day's box office, not the one as of now!"
"It's the first-day box office."
It's impossible. Although he knows that this is the global box office statistics, it shouldn't be so high.
It is said that their premiere in the United States was so big and exciting, with celebrities and business leaders gathered together, so it is understandable that the box office on the premiere day was high, but was the promotion overseas as strong
“How many in North America?”
"Two thousand two hundred and eighty thousand dollars."
So overseas is $23 million
This number must be different from the real situation, otherwise it shouldn't be so round. But even if there is an inflated figure, it must be more than 20 million US dollars.
Why does Iron Man have such a high box office
At this time, there are many people who are paying attention to Marvel Studios under MGM like Sunnie Pictures and Disney Pictures, and they are all shocked by this number.
How could it be so high? Could it be that the box office of Iron Man is still comparable to that of Spider-Man
Superheroes are also divided into different levels. The highest level is naturally the familiar ones such as Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman. Iron Man is not ranked at all. How come the box office appeal is so high
It must have been the huge fanfare of the premiere that contributed to the inflated box office.
By the way, check out Rotten Tomatoes to see what the freshness rating is.
Even if many people watch the premiere, as long as the reputation is poor, the box office will plummet. There have been movies that grossed $20 million at the box office on their opening day, but ended up with less than $50 million at the box office.
Maybe this Iron Man is the same. Even if it's not that bad, it's certainly not great.
When they looked at the freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, everyone was stunned.
Ninety-three percent, how is this possible!
Such a high degree of freshness proves that almost everyone likes this movie, which absolutely shouldn't be the case.
This kind of reputation should be given to popular comic heroes like Batman and Spider-Man. Why does Iron Man deserve it
Only then did they realize that it seemed that they had not seen the movie, so they didn't know what it was so good about.
But it doesn’t matter. If you haven’t seen the movie, you can find critics to discredit it. Even the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes can be improved by relying on your account.
The heads of several film companies have contacted privately and are preparing to give MGM a head-on blow. Now that it has declined, they will never allow MGM to regain its glory.
Otherwise, after Iron Man becomes popular, all the superheroes in the Marvel Universe may become popular, which will be a disaster for their other film companies!
This must not be allowed to happen!
