Chapter 290 Superhero Big Box Office

As the current owner of Marvel Comics, Jed is of course very aware of the early black history of Marvel Comics.After all, the literary works of a country will naturally reflect people's emotions and social turmoil at that time. American superhero comics actually grew up with World War I and World War II, so it is easy to see who the villains of these comics are.For example, the enemy of "Captain America" ​​is Germany, while the enemy in "Avengers" is the Soviet Union, and "Iron Man" is even more outstanding. From the Soviet Union to Vietnam, from China to Cuba, his enemies are all over the world ...Of course, such a setting is naturally not suitable for the current world.Although the United States and Japan are still the world's first and second largest box office regions, the box office positions of China, Russia and Southeast Asia are gradually showing.So Jed goes on to say that the enemies in the latest timeline of superhero comics are either aliens or terrorists.The first movie of "Iron Man" naturally does not set the enemy as a specific country, but as a terrorist group in the Middle East.With the globalization of Hollywood, the creation of Hollywood has become more and more conservative.Don't dare to criticize religion, dare not criticize gender, dare not criticize marriage... Nowadays, Hollywood movies are becoming more and more well-behaved.But Jed will not be so stupid as to be a forerunner. What he pursues is the box office of movies, not the art of movies.

The box office enemies of "Iron Man" this time are mainly last week's box office champion "Surrogate Mother" and this week's new movie "The Groom Is Not Me". "Surrogate Mother" can be regarded as a very rare and highly critical movie in Hollywood recently, and the film critics rated this movie very highly; while "The Groom Is Not Me" is a popular romantic comedy in Hollywood.After Jed saw the schedule, he was sure that "Iron Man" should be able to win the weekend box office championship. The only question is how much box office it will have and how many weeks the championship will last.But judging from the current audience's reaction, Jed already has a very good hunch about this movie.In another parallel time and space, "Iron Man" is the runner-up of the annual box office, and it is also the third runner-up of the annual box office ranking in the first week.Therefore, Jed watched the movie with peace of mind. Compared with parallel time and space, Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills have improved significantly, and the special effects are naturally more exciting.Moreover, in order to promote the 3D movie, Jade specially made a 3D version.This 3D version is not post-converted, but was shot with a 3D camera simultaneously, and several scenes were specially edited into the 3D version to highlight the 3D effect.Although the premiere is a 2D version, Jade believes that the 3D version that will be released simultaneously will be even more amazing.

When Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., admitted that he was Iron Man at the press conference at the end of the show, the spotlight flashed, and the story of the first episode ended here... When all the subtitles were scrolled, it was naturally full of excitement. applause.After answering a few questions, the crew invited the reporters to the buffet scene.At this time, the entertainment reporters who want to catch up with the first manuscript will leave first, but the film critics will often stay to communicate with the main creators or leading actors of the film crew.On the one hand, I want to know some of their ideas and tidbits, and on the other hand, I want to increase my network.After all, as a film critic, apart from those who really stand at the top and can affect the box office, the others still need to have a good relationship with the film crew. It is interesting to get more exclusive revelations and put them in your film review articles, especially the best ones. It would be even more perfect to get the endorsement of the director or screenwriter.

As the chairman of the group, Jed naturally didn't need to participate in such a reception, so he left the movie theater through the VIP channel after the movie ended.In his car, John is chatting with his two children on his smartphone.The two children are almost three years old. Under the careful care of nutritionists and doctors, the two babies are much stronger than ordinary babies.Moreover, under the guidance of preschool education experts, the wisdom of the two babies also started very early.The little prince Matthew has an inexplicable preference for music, especially classical symphony. He can distinguish Tchaikovsky and Beethoven at a young age; while the little princess Flora has become interested in painting. Although she can't copy any masterpieces because she can only do graffiti, her matching and use of colors is undoubtedly surprising.Because they were going to attend the premiere, otherwise Jed and John would have accompanied Flora and Matthew to enjoy the family happiness at this time.Fortunately, the two babies have to say goodbye to their fathers before they are willing to fall asleep, so they have to be comforted by smart devices in the car.After the two babies agreed to go to bed obediently, John suddenly sighed: "No wonder many mothers choose to become housewives after giving birth. It turns out that family and career are in a dilemma."

"I promise, I will leave my current position at the right time." Jed promised.Maybe it's not just because of the children, Jed also found that his personality might be different in the business world.If it wasn't for someone protecting him, maybe he might not be able to survive in this era even if he had the golden finger of a traverser. "After companies like Sherman Entertainment Group and Media Group get on the right track, I will gradually leave the executive level."

It is reported that "Avengers" will be one of the three major series in the Marvel universe.

Of course, the most surprising thing for comic fans is that Mr. Stan Lee, the president of Marvel Comics, announced that he will be in the "Marvel Universe" Introduce 'Spider-Man' in the plan'. As we all know, due to the hostility between Sherman Entertainment Group and Sony Group, as well as the original comic content, Spider-Man, the chief popular hero of Marvel comics, will miss this huge plan.
