Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 954: "The Avengers" that went viral before it was broadcast

"Everyone's reaction to "Iron Man 2" is very strong, and the first stage has come to a successful conclusion." Lu Fang said with a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a big box office potential in May 1st. I'm afraid there will be more works that will be released in this time frame." Qian Duoduo sighed.

"That's not enough." Li Feng smiled and shook his head: "This year's May 1st box office has a high box office. A large part of the reason is "Iron Man 2". Therefore, the box office of the entire schedule has been raised, and the foreshadowing of the previous superheroes has made this IP more and more popular, and "Iron Man", as the most popular popular hero, naturally has many crowds."

"That's true." Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "However, the box office of movies is increasing every year, and the same is true for the same period. The pressure of competition will increase in the future."

"It's a good thing for us, after all, it's naturally hot." Li Feng laughed.

No matter how big the competition is, Mubai Entertainment's reputation has already been established. Coupled with the formation of the superhero series, the IP has become very popular and has a group of fans.

The box office of each schedule is increasing, which means that they can get a higher box office, and it is naturally a good thing to make the film's performance better.

Although the competition will increase, this is not their weakness, but their strength.

"It's time for The Avengers."

The timing is just right, the film has enough foreshadowing, and the audience's sense of expectation has been created. It's time for several superheroes to gather.

"I have a hunch that this movie should be the highest-grossing movie among all superheroes." Qian Duoduo guessed.

"It's not easy." Li Feng interrupted.

If it is just to equal the global box office of superheroes, it is not difficult. According to the current popularity and influence, a superhero movie can earn at least 600 million U.S. dollars in the global box office, and it can reach 800 million if it is better. 100 million.

The minimum standard is 600 million US dollars, which is not too difficult.

But if you want to get the best level, the box office must break 1.5 billion.

At the beginning, the highest box office of this IP was "Spiderman", with a box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, and then "Iron Man", although it was the first superhero work to be released, it was very popular with the audience, so the box office was also good. More than $1 billion.

The rest are around $800 million. This time, "Iron Man 2" can be said to be the work that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. The global box office has reached $1.4 billion, breaking the box office record of "Monster 3" in one fell swoop, and surpassing its global film sales. The eighth position on the box office list was taken away, and it rushed to the ninth position!

Thus,

Three of the top ten films in the global box office rankings are films produced by Mubai Entertainment, and Chen Mubai participated in the production of all these three films.

"Iron Man" is 12th, "Iron Man 2" is 8th, "Spiderman" is 10th, and "Titanic" is 1st!

This is a very terrifying achievement. Chen Mubai has received a lot of praise. He broke the rule of European and American film and television companies, and also broke their monopoly!

The most important thing is that Chen Mubai is still continuing to create miracles, he is still at the peak, this is very scary, and it also makes many foreign film and television companies fear him.

Now, Chen Mubai is the director that everyone least wants to meet, and they don't want to become competitors with him, it's really scary.

"It's really not easy." Lu Fang agreed with Li Feng's point of view.

"Although the assembly of all these heroes is a gimmick and a long-awaited plot for the audience, when this scene really happens, everyone will definitely call for their favorite characters. How to balance them is also not easy. Well, it will be sprayed."

This is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it can gain great popularity and obtain a very high box office. But if it is not used well, it is also a fatal flaw, and it will cause fans to pinch each other.

After all, everyone likes different characters. If a character is too dazzling, but the character they like is dim, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those fans.

"Leave this matter to Mu Bai." Li Feng said.

The project of "The Avengers" is in charge of Chen Mubai, and he is also the director, so they naturally believed in him.

"Mubai, are you okay?" Lu Fang glanced at Chen Mubai.

"No." Chen Mubai replied.

Qian Duoduo asked curiously: "So, Yaoyao is also one of us?"

"right."

"There have been such speculations on the Internet, and it seems that they guessed it right." Qian Duoduo was a little puzzled: "Then why doesn't she have a solo movie?"

Chen Mubai said: "This has something to do with her personal background and memories. You will know in the future. The main role of this character is also human, but unlike Captain Huaxia, she has no superpowers, nor does she have any physical bonuses. It is a personal ability, and it is a characteristic that human beings can have."

"There's a big difference between superheroes having traits that humans don't have."

"When audiences watch movies, they prefer to watch capable people. A character like Yaoyao is actually a human elite. After all, she is still a human being, and her abilities are not beyond the scope of human beings. In fact, the filming is a bit cool. It's not what the audience imagined, it's just not pleasing."

"If a movie is made for her alone, it may not be popular, but if she appears in other hero movies, it will give her extra points, because the audience will feel that she is very mysterious, and they will have curiosity about this character and have a kind of exploration. mentality, still holding the half-covered feeling of the pipa.”

Qian Duoduo could understand what Chen Mubai meant, and he agreed: "There is indeed a possibility. If I were an audience and I went to the cinema to choose science fiction movies, I would also like to see people with superpowers instead of ordinary people. In this case , why not watch some action movies, at least a little bit more passionate."

"I'm already looking forward to the moment when we get together." Qian Duoduo looked forward to it.

"From the audience's perspective, I'm also looking forward to it." Li Feng echoed with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it too." Tao Yaoyao said with a smile.

"Actually, before accepting this role, I didn't know that I was also a member of the Avengers. I thought it was a simple cameo role, but I didn't expect the role to be quite heavy."

Each of them has watched the works of the superhero series. As a successful movie, it will naturally gain a lot of support.

Chen Mubai only released his work in the form of a movie, without the bonus of comics, but in fact, the influence of comics is far less than that of film and television. After all, not everyone likes to read comics. Many times, people prefer to watch movies and TV. things.

Therefore, no one knows what each hero's next work will tell, nor what will happen when they gather together. It is up to the next script to determine the direction of the story.

And this script is all in Chen Mubai's mind. He is the only one who knows the answer. Even if he cooperates with Solomon, he will follow his shooting plan. Receive scripts in advance.

In this way, the leak of the plot is avoided to the greatest extent, which makes the audience look forward to the plot even more, and no one knows what will happen next moment.

The preparations for the film "The Avengers" have been completed. Before the official approval of the project, Chen Mubai asked all the actors to clear their schedules in advance, so as not to be blocked by other works during the filming process.

After all, many actors don’t just shoot one scene, especially after their superhero works become popular, there are more resources to find them, and they will be busier at work.

It is very necessary to communicate in advance, and everyone will make time for it. After all, when the contract was first signed, there was already this mandatory requirement, and they will mainly focus on the works of Mubai Entertainment.

On the premise of not affecting the shooting of Mubai Entertainment's superhero works, you can shoot the rest of the works. In fact, although this film takes a long time, it will not be distributed to everyone, because it is no longer the absolute protagonist. Everyone has a limited number of scenes, and the filming will be completed soon.

This amount of time is not a problem for these actors. Everyone came to Huaxia early and planned to get together before the official shooting. It can be regarded as getting acquainted, adding some familiarity, and preparing for the shooting.

Furthermore, Chen Mubai is the gold master + director + starring role, and he is also the most popular hero, no matter how he is, he will get their attention.

The two leading actors of "Thor" and "Hulk" haven't met Chen Mubai yet. When the filming started, Chen Mubai was busy with "Iron Man 2", so he didn't go to the scene, but sent them blessings through a video .

This time, it was also the first time the two met Chen Mubai, they were a little embarrassed.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Chen is a very approachable person, not difficult to get along with at all."

"Spider-Man" star Parker was chatting with the two, and the three of them were heading to the party.

This gathering was a private event, initiated by Chen Mubai, mainly for the actors who participated in the show to meet each other and get to know each other.

The characters of the superhero series are selected from actors from all over the world, so many people are not familiar with each other, or even do not know each other.

After all, not everyone is very famous and has a wide range of friends. In fact, some people were third-tier actors themselves before receiving this series, but they are only slightly famous, not popular stars.

People who are more famous will naturally be known by more people, and everyone will know better, even if they have not been in contact with them, they have heard of them, but that is not the case if they are not famous. The relationship with each other is conducive to the progress of the shooting.

In particular, the superhero universe is a big IP, and everyone will have to continue to cooperate in the future. This gathering is an opportunity to build friendship with each other. It is a very good opportunity for actors who are not well-known themselves. They attach great importance to this gathering.

The entertainment industry is the social circle, which is also a communication. Apart from Chen Mubai, the rest of the stars are also a resource. If we become friends, there may be other cooperation in the future.

"I've heard about this, but I haven't met Mr. Chen Mubai in real life yet."

"Me too, but through his works, I can feel that he is not a difficult person to get along with." The two nodded their heads.

Parker continued: "Yeah, when I first met him, he joked with me, just like his character in the movie, he is a very nice person!"

"There is no domineering at all. At first, I thought that a person of his level would be somewhat arrogant. He is really peaceful, and he has also guided me a lot, breaking my inherent impression of him. I think his mentality is very young. About the same as me."

Generally, stars or directors of Chen Mubai's level have a certain airs. After all, the status and fame are there, and the aura is very strong. However, Parker did not feel that kind of aura in Chen Mubai, which shows that he himself is not a person who likes People who show off.

Such people are very rare, which is why Parker was surprised and surprised. Young people prefer to get along with people with this personality.

"If you say that, I feel more relieved. I am very afraid that my performance will not satisfy him."

In fact, the three just met each other not long ago. They met on the Internet. Some fans like to discuss superheroes together, and they will inevitably compare actors. Then they met.

And because everyone took over the filming of this series of works, and knew that there would be intersections in the future, so they took a little initiative in the process of communication, and the relationship between the three of them got along well.

"I don't know how 'Captain Huaxia' is?"

"I think his personality should be good. He and Mr. Chen Mubai are good friends, so it shouldn't be difficult to get along with him," Parker said.

Foreigners don't understand the meaning of sexual similarity, but everyone still has this common sense in their daily relationship. Generally, people who hang out with each other will not have too much difference in personality, otherwise they will not become good friends.

Just like the three of them, although they are different in age, they are pretty much the same in all aspects of the three views, otherwise they wouldn't get acquainted quickly.

The IP of superheroes just provides them with a way to make friends. If they don't like each other, they certainly won't deliberately make friends. No one wants to get along with people they hate.

If not, even if the IPs overlap with each other, they can be treated as work without any extra overlap. This is not the case. Some movies have a bad relationship between the leading actors. During the shooting process, there is nothing else besides the shooting task. communication without even speaking.

"I'm really looking forward to everyone getting together in a movie."

"Yes, but I also have worries." One person was worried.

"We have so many heroes in one movie, how will everyone's roles be arranged? Maybe some characters will be sacrificed to become green leaves to set off other characters"

When it comes to core interests, the three of them didn't answer for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. This is very likely to happen.

In particular, the most popular character is "Iron Man", and he may be the most brilliant in this movie, and "Captain Huaxia" is also starring Chen Mubai's friend, so there should be no shortage of roles

In this way, only those "outsiders" will be sacrificed.

This is true in both emotion and reason, and it is not unreasonable for them to speculate like this.

"Don't be so sad, you can't say for sure, think about the good, everyone has a solo movie, even if it is a bit inferior in group works, solo movies are still stable, and we are all famous because of this work. Very lucky." Parker was the first to break the silence, and enlivened the atmosphere with a smile.

In fact, for him, he is already very contented. A "Spider-Man" made him a success, and his fame and status went directly to the front line. Compared with before, it is really much better!

Moreover, "Spider-Man" is the second most popular hero after "Iron Man". Even if he does not perform well in group movies, his influence is not that great.

"It's true, the two of us are not as good as one child." Chris said, the actor who played the role of "Thor".

"Yeah, I don't think so much, it's really lucky to be selected."

Soon, the three of them collected their thoughts and came to the meeting place.

They came here in disguise, and this is Huaxia, so no one recognized them.

"arrive?"

"welcome!"

Walking into the hall, the three of them were immediately invited in, and everyone welcomed them.

"Hi there."

Before they came this time, they specially learned Chinese to say hello, in order to enhance the impression in everyone's mind.

I have to say that the effect was immediate. Everyone was very happy to see three foreign stars greet them in Chinese.

After a simple greeting, they came to a private room filled with actors from "The Avengers".

This hotel was booked out today, and it was filled with people from Mubai Entertainment, including the entire "Avengers" crew.

"Hi, Director Chen!"

After the three entered the door, they greeted Chen Mubai first.

Chen Mubai had the highest status, so naturally he greeted him first. Chris and Edward were a little cautious when they saw Chen Mubai for the first time.

Parker is okay, he is very happy: "Mr. Chen, we meet again!"

"Hello, Parker." Chen Mubai nodded towards Parker, then turned his eyes to the two and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat people, take it easy, I'm here today to get to know each other, and I'm going to shoot soon Already working."

Afterwards, everyone began to introduce themselves, and soon the atmosphere became heated.

"You are all muscular men." Edward looked at the figures of everyone and sighed.

"I don't need it, anyway, I won't be able to see the original shape after the transformation."

Hearing Edward making fun of himself like this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The Hulk does not appear in the main body, so his own muscles are really not important. Unlike the other heroes, they are all real bodies, and muscle lines are still necessary.

"I didn't expect Miss Yaoyao to be one of us!" Parker exclaimed.

"Yeah, I thought she was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I didn't expect to be a member of the Avengers!"

"And this 'Eagle Eye', there are quite a few people in the group."

"When will we get the script?" Parker asked.

"After the party, everyone will get the script and can prepare it in advance. After the press conference, it will be officially launched." Chen Mubai said with a smile.

Immediately, he looked at Parker, Parker was a little terrified by Chen Mubai's eyes, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

"Mr. Chen"

"Parker, it's not time for you to play this time. You will play in the future. I call you this time to let you get acquainted with everyone first, as a preparation for the future."

Parker "."

The sadness was so great, but he didn't have the slightest defense.

He really didn't know this would happen.

"Ha ha."

Seeing Parker's bewildered and helpless expression, everyone tried their best to hold back their smiles.

"No wonder you didn't notify me of your availability in advance."

It was only now that Parker figured out why Chen Mubai didn't let him make time for "The Avengers" when he asked him to come to China.

"Let me be happy for nothing, I thought I could finally meet everyone." Parker was a little helpless: "I'm looking forward to it."

"Poor Parker" Chris patted Parker's shoulder with a smile.

"We are all looking forward to it. We can only cooperate next time. It's a pity." Edward also smiled at Parker and said.

Parker was the youngest person present, coupled with his lovable personality, everyone liked him quite a lot.

"Don't cry, at least you "reunited" with us earlier, didn't you?" Qian Duoduo also joined the teasing camp.

Parker: "."

You are all bad guys!

It was a pity that the banquet was over, and Chris and others got the script and went back to the room to rest.

Both Parker and Edward were there, and the relationship between the three of them was relatively close, discussing the script.

"I thought we would have fewer roles, but it looks like a lot!" Chris said.

Edward interface: "Yeah, Chen Mubai is indeed very courageous, without sacrificing any roles, and trying to balance as much as possible, it's really rare."

"Yeah, I said that Mr. Chen is not that kind of person. He is really different from ordinary people and not so selfish. Perhaps this is the reason why he can achieve what he is today."

Parker said with a smile: "Think about it, if he is really selfish, he can give these roles to the artists of his own company. There is no need to put them in global auditions. With the IP of the superhero series, it will become popular sooner or later, isn't it? ?"

"Yes." The two nodded, not doubting him.

This is a solid fact. Both "Iron Man" and "Huaxia Captain" have received very good responses around the world. They are completely Huaxia movies. It is not the cooperation with Solomon that will deepen the impact of the work, but the excellent work first. , the cooperation with Solomon can only be said to have indirectly expanded its influence.

If Chen Mubai is determined to digest this huge IP by himself, then they can do it, and they can reach this fiery point in the end, but it will take a little longer.

"Now, I'm really looking forward to the movie."

"Me too"

The next day, everyone attended the "Avengers" conference together.

When these stars made their collective appearance, they shocked the world in an instant, and the popularity exploded.

Any single hero has a high reputation, not to mention everyone attending together, the impact is incredible!

When Chen Mubai led a group of creative personnel to appear at the press conference, the global focus was on them and on this work.

No way, superheroes are so popular, two of them are in the top ten of the global box office rankings, and three of them are in the top fifteen!

Not to mention that every work is a box office hit, the influence, popularity + box office are integrated, the popularity can be imagined.

Another point is that Chen Mubai has long said that all the heroes will be assembled, and everyone is looking forward to it, and when this day comes, they will naturally be surprised and delighted, and pay attention to this matter.

"The Avengers" can be said to be the hottest movie at present, and it has received more attention than the original "Titanic". After all, there are too many fans of superheroes, which is far from being comparable to that of ordinary movie stars!

Although this movie has not been produced yet, it has already become popular in terms of topic and popularity!
