Chapter 1106: 4th Dragon Ball

Compared with Iron Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy can be regarded as obscurity. In the huge Marvel comic system, they can only be regarded as relatively marginal characters.
But the world view of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is to expand to the Milky Way and even the entire universe. To further elicit the Purple Sweet Potatoes, a cosmic background movie is needed.
The fact that the audience is a human being on earth determines that the first protagonist of this film must be a human being on earth.
That space dog was not suitable. Although it was also from the earth, it was brought into the dog by people. Except for some special people, it is estimated that most people would be very awkward.
Things like sword fighting, sentry, and Rising Star Legion were also on Marvel Entertainment's consideration list. Finally Ronan waved his hand and chose Guardians of the Galaxy.
Thanos is too strong, and there is no Guwu to reduce IQ, how to fight?
Well, in fact, there is another important reason. If the movie is ready, if you sell peripheral toys, it will be very difficult to sell noodles and restore morality.
Meng travels across the world in one word.
In addition, after discussing with Kevin Fitch, Ronan decided to add a key role in the next stage in the easter eggs of Guardians of the Galaxy in addition to Thanos and Celestials.
That's the big face... No, it's Captain Marvel.
With Ronan, it is of course impossible for Marvel to choose another actor with a square face type.
Like superhero movies, acting skills are not important at all.
The most typical, once "Wonder Woman", is Gal Gadot acting well? Why do movies sell well? In fact, the main reason is that everyone knows well.
That is relying on the female (yan) right (value) to stand alone (long) (legs) to fight the world.
Movies like "Captain Marvel" may be released a few years later. It must be in line with the general trend of social development and must establish a strong and independent female role image.
Having said that, there is no inevitable connection between the strong and independent and the square-faced aunt who runs away.
In the past "Captain Marvel", if there was no Marvel, it is estimated that the chance of hitting the street is far greater than success.
Therefore, Ronan considered it a long time ago and chose a potential first actor candidate for Captain Marvel-Charlize Theron, nicknamed South African Diamonds.
Since we want to bring an exceptionally powerful female superhero, naturally we must use an actress with a strong aura.
Shahai Entertainment will then contact Charlize Theron and invite her to play the role of Captain Marvel. It will be announced to the outside world that this is the leader of Marvel's superheroes on the big screen in the future.
Like Warner Bros. inviting Charlize Theron to play the role of her mother in Wonder Woman, Relativity Entertainment would not do it.
However, Gal Gadot has also signed a long-term contract with Relativity Entertainment. At least it will be impossible to play Wonder Woman in the next ten years.
This is a good thing for Warner Bros., let's find an actor who fits the body characteristics of the comic book...
Ronan got the news that because of the terrible failure of "Green Lantern", Warner Bros. and DC Comics changed their plans and embarked on the same old path.
Seeing that it is hopeless to catch up with the Marvel Avengers film series according to the mode of relativity entertainment, Warner Bros. and DC Comics decided to do the opposite. The new Justice League movie universe started with "Man of Steel", and then followed the " "Batman vs. Superman" and introduced the founding members of the Justice League.
"Green Lantern" failed so badly, perhaps to show that Green Lantern has no relationship with the Justice League. In the new Justice League, steel has replaced the position of Green Lantern and became the veteran of the start-up.
Love is a light, and green is eventually replaced by black.
The most important point is that no matter "Man of Steel" or the following "Batman vs. Superman", all are directed by Zach Schneider, and supplemented by a bunch of senior Warner Bros. staff as producers or executive producers.
In this respect, Warner Bros. is also very clear that the Justice League Cinematic Universe cannot withstand another major failure.
Therefore, more people are required to control the movie.
There is one more thing. Recently, Warner Bros. has quarreled with Twentieth Century Fox again. The reason is "Watchmen".
In the twentieth century, Fox was a bit tight due to successive film failures. In implementing the "Watchmen" box office agreement reached between the two parties, Warner Bros. gave full play to the true meaning of "dragging words", and various reasons for arrears were emerging.
That's right, in this summer file, Twentieth Century Fox experienced a second miserable failure, and invested heavily in the disaster production "Super Storm" with high hopes.
This top commercial film with a total investment of more than 250 million US dollars, was released in late July, and the box office in North America was only 17.34 million US dollars in the first weekend.
According to predictions from all quarters, the final North American box office of this film will be between US$30 million and US$40 million, and the global box office will hardly exceed US$100 million.
The failure of this film triggered various knock-on effects. As the brokerage crisis intensified, banks and financial institutions cooperating with Twentieth Century Fox began to collect debts from Twentieth Century Fox, and some of them also decided to borrow loans.
In the twentieth century, Fox was a bit messy for a while, and there were some problems with liquidity.
However, as a well-established and established company with the support of News Corporation behind it, Twentieth Century Fox will not really get into trouble because of these troubles.
But it is undeniable that after receiving the fourth dragon ball in the 20th century, Fox will be weakened to a certain extent in the next period.
As for the other two Dragon Balls, related news has also reached Ronan's hands.
Both "Dragon Ball" and "Terminator 4" are the first-line major production projects of 20th Century Fox. The former has completed all productions and is currently choosing a suitable release schedule.
The latter has already started post-production, and during the filming, there was an incident of Christian Bale violently criticizing the director of photography, which received considerable attention.
The production cost of this sci-fi big production is as high as 200 million US dollars!
And different from the previous films, the "Terminator" series is a well-known IP. The first three parts have all been successful. As a sequel film that has always been guaranteed in the industry, Twentieth Century Fox aims to prevent other companies and investment institutions from sharing the profits of the film , All investment comes from Fox itself.
"Twentieth Century Fox has not been doing well in recent years."
In the Theory of Relativity Building, Robert Iger sat on the solo sofa and said to Ronan: "The big production movies that are vital to large production companies have failed one after another. Not only did they fail to recover the huge investment, they also owed large debts."
Ronan nodded slightly and asked, "What about the streaming media platform established by Fox in the 20th century?"
Robert Iger smiled and said: "The performance is very poor, and the streaming media platform requires huge investment. Originally, Lehman Brothers provided part of the loan, but since last year, Twentieth Century Fox could not get loans and could only make internal investments. It took up a considerable flow of funds from Twentieth Century Fox, but did not generate corresponding returns."
For these situations, Ronan was not surprised because of Netflix's long-term view.
Regardless of the fact that Netflix’s market value has risen step by step, last year’s operating income was close to 10 billion U.S. dollars. If you simply calculate the streaming media business, it actually incurred huge losses.
The most important point of establishing a streaming media platform from scratch is to burn money!
At present, Netflix streaming media occupies the vast majority of the market share, and there are no billions or tens of billions of dollars burned out, and latecomers have no hope of development.
Moreover, whether it was once or now, Netflix can become a star enterprise, burning money is also the key.
Ronan tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly and said, "The next year will be of vital importance to us."
Robert Iger said: "From the current situation, the situation is in our favor."
Ronan turned to ask, "How is Lucasfilm's progress?"
"George Lucas is not a problem. He is willing to sell Lucasfilm to us." Robert Iger said: "In terms of other shareholders, we have also reached an agreement with many people. If it goes well, it will be in the next few months. Can confirm this transaction."
Ronan also knows that with George Lucas' willingness, it is not difficult for Relativity Entertainment to acquire Lucasfilm. It may be easier to eliminate financial issues than it was to acquire Artisan Entertainment.
It can be said that George Lucas’ personal wishes directly determine the future ownership of Lucasfilm.
Ronan said: "Lucasfilm's greatest value is "Star Wars". Unfortunately, the "Star Wars" series has too many rights in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox."
Robert Iger understood the meaning of these words and did not speak any more. As long as the plan unfolds smoothly, all copyrights and rights in the future "Star Wars" may be concentrated in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.
Ronan asked again: "What's the situation on Wall Street now?"
"Very bad, very bad." Robert Iger said quickly and concisely: "The entire Wall Street has encountered very big trouble, even Goldman Sachs is no exception. This brokerage crisis is spreading from the United States to the world. Lehman Brothers, the partner of Century Fox, is almost unable to sustain it."
He thought for a moment ~EbookFREE.me~ and said: "The news from Heitan, the people of Lehman Brothers have been lobbying the Washington authorities and other large investment banks on Wall Street, but the Treasury Department refused to support them. Like Wall Street, they would like to Brother Man is dead."
Ronan nodded and asked, "What's the situation on Heitan?"
"The winning rate should be great." Robert Iger is extremely optimistic: "As far as the current situation is concerned, Heitan may become the owner of the White House next year."
Heitan can be elected. If nothing else, at least Washington will become an obstacle to the Relativistic Entertainment Project, and the probability will be many times smaller.
To succeed, the support of the authorities is actually very important.
At the end of the meeting with Robert Iger, Connie came in to remind Ronan that the time had almost changed and set off.
Afterwards, Ronan drove away from the Theory of Relativity Building and went to the Pacific Investment Foundation not far away. He met Lin Jian who came to Los Angeles again.
