Chapter 656

It has been nearly ten years since the Lord of the rings: the Lord of the rings appeared. Now its prequel the Hobbit has officially entered the preparatory state, and the director is Peter Jackson, which has fulfilled his long cherished wish.

Although he was unhappy, he took the job. He knew that Mark's strong man's intervention had forced down the contradiction between MGM and Warner Brothers. There would no longer be so many tangles and bullshit in the past. If he didn't take over, Mark would immediately find someone to take over. Although he was confident, he was not arrogant enough to play in the Middle Earth world without him.

Even the new line dares to find someone else to take over. Mark, who is more powerful and has more resources, will not be held hostage. Mark has always been strong and has no threatening record since his debut.

This man is extremely lucky and strong. As long as his film project is approved, it can always be completed smoothly. There are not so many broken things like tear than and chicken skin dog stove. The more troublesome thing is the dark knight. Little plums twist and don't want to play again. This broken thing is not a thing at all for the hobbit. Jackson knows that mark is very polite to him, But if he says no or hesitates, mark will immediately find someone else to take over. What does the Hobbit have to do with him and vita digital.

Without the support of Vita digital, other companies can't play the special effect blockbuster hobbit. However, mark has industrial light and magic, and the digital field listens to his call at any time. It's difficult for him. In less than ten years, mark has grown to the point where others are scared and become the core force of Hollywood. Even if Vita digital is far away in New Zealand, Also under his influence.

On the same day, they held a joint press conference in the village Cave Scenic Area of shire, announcing that Warner Bros., MGM and vita digital jointly established a new "hobbit film company" to be responsible for the production, distribution and development of surrounding markets.

As a super IP series, it has many enthusiastic fans. If it does not develop the surrounding markets, it will be a huge waste, so they set up a special company to take charge of it.

Moreover, the trilogy has invested 750 million, with an average of 250 million, setting a new peak in the series of films. Although it is not as scary as avatar and Pirates of the Caribbean 3, the investment is large enough.

Of course, this is the so-called trilogy. The production cost is so much, which does not mean that they have to spend so much money at once. They just need to prepare the production cost of the two films first, and after the first film is released, they can gradually feed the crew. The production cost of the two films is amazing.

Jackson told reporters: "we have sufficient funds. Our crew will be the most luxurious crew. We can even match an orchestra in the restaurant."

Mark also said: "I am very confident to give Peter the Hobbit series. His achievements in the Lord of the rings are obvious to all. I believe he and his team will work miracles again."

After solving the Hobbit in New Zealand, mark returned to the United States after playing in Queenstown, New Zealand for a day. As for the tax, tax refund and government subsidies of the Hobbit, Warner and vita digital will talk to them.

Referring to the fact that the box office at the premiere weekend of Iron Man 2 was not as good as expected, the American media believed that the main reason was that the sequel failed to successfully expand the audience. They came to support Iron Man 2 this weekend Men account for 60% of the audience, and so do those over the age of 25. To become a box office blockbuster, this blockbuster must be loved by men, women and children. This sounds like nonsense, but it is very useful in business operation. Iron Man 2 Compared with the first film, which attracted more older female audiences, it can be determined that these people came to Kazakhstan's Robert Downey Jr. as for the little boys and girls, they were not interested in the film because they didn't find the exciting points (such as handsome boys and beautiful women, such as tangled stories, and strong elements of confrontation between good and evil, etc.) , which also well explains the fact that the film's zero point premiere box office did not set a record. In contrast, the audience distribution of the film's premiere weekend was 52% male and 50% under the age of 25. Spider Man 3 The male audience at the premiere weekend is 54%, and 63% are under the age of 25. These data show that in order to make a breakthrough at the box office, the audience of animation adaptation blockbusters can not only be targeted at men, while Iron Man 2 just ignores female audiences and teenagers.

In terms of word-of-mouth, 40 American media gave a comprehensive score of 57 points, far lower than the first 79 points. The New York Daily news gave 80 points.

Chicago Sun Gave 75 points, thought the film was decent, but not as good as the first one, and Robert Downey Jr.'s acting was the highlight.

"Premiere" also gave 75 points, thinking that the film, like the first episode, can make people feel happy to see from the beginning to the end. The new Yorker gave 70 points, thinking that Mickey Locke's whip is the highlight. Variety gave 60 points, thinking that it is not as fun as the first episode, but it is also good. Empire also gave 60 points, and the praise lies in Mickey Locke and Sam Rockwell. Time gave a score of 50 and thought Tony Stark, a self destructive superhero, was comparable to Dostoevsky or Norman Mailer's novel, but other side stories were nothing bright.

The most dissatisfied with the film is the Hollywood report, which gave 30 points, and thought that iron man two years ago All the astonishment brought by this sequel was swept away, replaced by noise, chaos, more villains, meaningless stunt scenes and unintelligible stories. However, although the media film critics have a bad attitude towards the film, IMDB netizens seem to have different opinions. At present, more than 20000 netizens give a score of 7.6, which is very supportive.

It's no problem that the North meter of Iron Man 2 has exceeded 300 million, while Robert Downey Jr. has become a popular fried chicken in Hollywood because of two big selling works in a row. He is really stepping into the list of superstars and has a momentum of Captain Jack Depp.

The media believe that with the full pursuit of mm, it is not difficult for Robert Downey Jr. to catch up with Depp.
