Chapter 2045 2047 [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them]
So Xiang Nan absorbed Paramount’s experience and lessons when making "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
On the one hand, rearranging the story not only makes the story more exciting and smooth, but also deepens the theme.
??The original version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is just a quick popcorn movie without any depth. After watching it, there is no need to watch it again.
But Xiang Nan added some humanistic touches, such as portraying the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter as a group of heroes who are not recognized by the world, but are still willing to use their talents to help people.
In fact, the situations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and mutants are very similar. They both live in isolation and are discriminated against and excluded by humans. This is very similar to the situation of a certain type of people in society. Therefore, when "X-Men" was released, many people of this type went to the theater to support it.
?And Xiang Nan also wanted to take advantage of this, so he deliberately shaped the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in that direction to gain more recognition.
On the one hand, the characters have been redesigned to make them more beautiful, cute and no longer scary. Moreover, the movie style has also been changed, using more bright colors and trying to be as close to a cartoon style as possible.
After all, this is an adaptation of a children''s cartoon, and the audience who watch this movie basically come for nostalgia. Therefore, it is too violent and dark, and it is too different from the original work, which is not a good thing for the audience.
??The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that was revised by Xiang Nan is very different from the original version, and it has indeed gained more recognition from the audience after its release.
??In the end, the North American box office was US$180 million, and the global box office exceeded US$500 million, and the reputation was also very good.
? Many viewers supported [Ye Qing Hui] after watching it, which is a familiar taste from childhood. Therefore, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" was immediately put on the schedule.
The success of this movie also made the starring Megan Fox popular.
?Her youth, beauty, and voluptuousness are really charming to the audience, so her popularity has skyrocketed and she has become famous.
…
In December, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2 was officially released.
??This movie is also the conclusion of the Harry Potter series, so many fans went to the theater to watch it out of sentiment, which contributed a lot to the box office.
??The final North American box office was US$350 million and the global box office was US$1.34 billion. Such an impressive achievement is jaw-dropping.
?According to incomplete statistics, there are a total of nine Harry Potter movies, with box office revenue of about 8 billion US dollars, but the commercial value it created is as high as 30 billion US dollars.
Its DVD sales, books, games, and derivatives revenue are no worse than box office revenue. Therefore, both Universal Pictures and Xiang Nan made a lot of money.
With the end of Harry Potter, all peers are thankful that Universal Pictures will be missing a big IP.
Without the "Harry Potter" movies released every year, the value of Harry Potter''s IP will decrease year by year. After all, without new works, there will be no new fans. And with the gradual loss of old fans, the value of this IP will disappear sooner or later.
?Just like singers, the reason why the record industry is in a slump is to keep releasing new records to maintain popularity. Otherwise, without new works coming out, they will become obsolete even faster.
But at this moment, Xiang Nan announced on his newly opened Facebook account that the extra chapter of "Harry Potter" "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be released soon, telling the story of the wizarding world in the 1930s. . As soon as this news came out, all Harry Potter book and movie fans were very excited.
?But those Hollywood colleagues all cursed at the same time. With "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Universal Pictures will have an inexhaustible gold mine. And these companies will continue to experience the fear of being dominated by magic during the Christmas period. It is really too indifferent.
…
In January 2012, Xiang Nan formulated a filming plan for the New Year.
"Iron Man 2", "Thor", "Ghost Rider 2", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", "The Big Short", "Now You See Me", "Mission: Impossible 6", "Life of Pi" and "The Hunger Games."
"Iron Man 2", "Mission: Impossible 6", and "Ghost Rider 2" are all sequels, basically using the original cast. In addition to "Iron Man 2", Gal Gadot plays Black Widow.
"Thor" is a new movie in the Marvel Avengers universe, telling the birth of Thor. The male lead, Xiang Nan, is still planned to be played by Chris Hemsworth. He is still an unknown little artist and his salary is very small.
?However, Xiang Nan does not plan to use Natalie Portman as the heroine.
?First of all, Natalie Portman''s salary is very high, and the role she plays as Jane is actually not important. Paying her a high salary to film it is really overkill.
Secondly, there is no spark at all between Natalie Portman and Chris. To be honest, compared to He Zhen, Thor and Loki are the two brothers who are in love with each other and have a sense of being happy enemies.
In this case, it’s really not worth hiring Natalie Portman. Xiang Nan is planning to re-screen the actors. In order to increase attention, he may hold an audition.
…
"The Big Short" mainly talks about the causes and process of the subprime mortgage crisis. The subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2007, and the crisis lasted until 2009, and then gradually subsided.
Xiang Nan did not meddle in the subprime mortgage crisis. On the one hand, he knows that the scope of this crisis is too wide and the impact is too bad. If he plays tricks in it, he will probably become the target of public criticism. After all, after something goes wrong, finding a scapegoat is the most common way to shift blame.
On the one hand, thousands of innocent citizens suffered losses in the subprime mortgage crisis. They gave their money to banks, insurance companies, and securities companies, hoping that their lives would be better in the future. But I didn''t expect that these banks, insurance companies, and securities companies would use their money to buy financial derivatives.
?As a result, when the crisis hit, these banks, insurance companies, and securities companies were saved, but ordinary people''s money was looted.
?Hence, Xiang Nan felt uncomfortable making money like this. This is different from the Internet bubble of that year, which burned mostly capital money.
…
"Now You See Me" tells the story of four magicians who outwit banks, insurance companies, and profiteers through three magic shows. A wonderful and gorgeous magic show, a thrilling story, and interlocking strategies... it is a very refreshing popcorn movie.
"Life of Pi" is a film adapted from the novel of the same name. The original novel was published in Year Zero and stayed on the New York bestseller list for more than a year.
Xiang Nan bought the film and television adaptation rights at the first opportunity, but due to investment issues, he has never filmed it.
