Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

The rights and wrongs of the rise of Marvel movies

An actor is a selfless person.

Claire can’t do this yet. Perhaps in “Dallas Buyers Club” Claire briefly experienced a state of selflessness. But in many commercial blockbusters, Claire still clearly knows that she is still herself. He is playing him, trying his best to imitate the possibility and rationality of the character…

In

this world, many actors are like plastic bottles. In his eyes, any character is just water. a shape. And there are a few actors who have cultivated themselves into water, which takes whatever shape it is placed in.

Tom Hanks obviously belongs to the latter.

Entering the summer vacation, “Spider-Man 3” has also begun a vigorous promotional campaign, preparing to land on cinema screens around the world.

With the popularity of the “Spider-Man” series, Marvel Studios is several years ahead of schedule compared to its previous life through the rise of “Iron Man” in 2008. The comic hero characters in the hands of Marvel Studios have been snapped up by major Hollywood studios. Regardless of whether they are popular heroic characters or marginal heroes, major companies are eyeing them eagerly.

The Disney Company, which has turned around through the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series and the Princess series, has also set its sights on Marvel Studios as it was destined to do in its previous life. Robert Iger, the president of Disney in his previous life, is also trying to plan the acquisition of Marvel Studios in this life, trying to incorporate it into Disney’s movie territory.

Claire was itching, in fact, he also wanted to acquire it. However, although he is rich, he really can’t spend 5 billion US dollars to buy Marvel Studios… What’s more, the current valuation of Marvel Studios is still rising, one price per day.

No one on earth knows better than Claire the potential of Marvel’s future. In the previous life, starting from “Iron Man” and “Captain America”, after more than ten years and dozens of series of single-hero movies, the Avengers Marvel Universe has reached its peak.

All the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have a global box office of more than 22 billion U.S. dollars. Among them, the pinnacle of “Avengers 4” has reached the pinnacle of peaks, directly breaking the ceiling of IP movies and breaking the ceiling created by “Avatar” The world’s number one movie box office, becoming the new world number one.

…

However, the explosion of the Marvel IP movie series has also brought about a certain degree of ‘regression’ and ‘stagnation’ in Hollywood. Many traditional filmmakers do not recognize this series of films as real ‘movies’.

Martin Scorsese, a giant director in the Hollywood industry, once said:

“I haven’t watched (Marvel movies). I’ve tried it, you know? But it’s not a movie. To be honest, I can relate to it. To the closest thing, the thing that actors do the best they can in that situation, which is the ‘theme park’, Disneyland and Universal kind of place. It’s not a human attempt to transmit emotion to anyone else and psychological experience.”

It’s not that these commercial IP movies are bad, but because their popularity directly leads to the creative inertia within Hollywood itself. Coupled with the conservative nature of capital itself regarding investment risks, after seeing that IP movies can make money and make a lot of money. Naturally, there is a rush. When this happens more and more, the corresponding investment in other independent films will naturally decrease.

Just like Disney Pictures this time, most of their energy is currently focused on the development of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series of IPs. Disney itself is the ancestor of IP development, so it will naturally arrange the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series clearly.

Moreover, the cooperation between Disney and Claire on “Cat and Mouse Game” was also very relaxed, giving Claire greater freedom in this aspect, because of the subsequent “Twilight” cooperation plan. In the thinking of Disney executives, it doesn’t matter if “Cat and Mouse” suffers a small loss. As long as Claire is made happy, all the losses can be made up in “Twilight”.

“All the gifts of fate have been priced secretly…”

…

At the pre-screening of “Spider-Man 3”, Claire finally felt greatly after seeing the finished “Spider-Man 3” movie. The ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the rhythm is right! Without the “Venom” character stuck in his throat, director Sam Raimi can control the narrative structure of the movie with ease!

The biggest surprise comes from the new character “Sandman”. Without the constraints of “Venom”, the story line of “Sandman” is more complete and reasonable. There is no sudden turn that lacks foreshadowing like the original movie in the previous life, making the audience touch it. Confused and confused.

The love affair between Spider-Man Peter Parker and the little Green Goblin Harry Osborn continues…

In this version, another heroine Gwen arranged by Sony-Columbia Pictures, in Claire and Sam Raimi Under the joint boycott, they did not appear. Although the vulgar polygonal relationship is very attractive to the audience, adding another person to the triangular relationship of two men and one woman to become a more complicated four-corner relationship is really not worth the gain.

Moreover, in Claire’s version of “Spider-Man 3”, there is no scene where Peter Parker is tempted by venom and becomes a black spider. With Peter Parker’s deep affection, it is impossible to deduce that without the temptation of external forces, how could he do it? Don’t love JJ. This is a devastating blow to the character of Peter Parker, which is unacceptable to Sam Raimi.

Of course, in order to appease Sony-Columbia Pictures, Sam Raimi repeatedly promised to arrange all new characters including Venom and Gwen in the next “Spider-Man 4”!

…

Claire estimates that “Spider-Man 4” should be the last part of this series. The strength of Claire and Sam Raimi has made the executives of Sony-Columbia Pictures unhappy since the second film. They believe that the actors, director and screenwriter are “taking advantage of the show’s self-respect” and are out of the control of Columbia Pictures executives. This makes them A strong sense of dissatisfaction and loss of control arose.

As for replacing Claire, it doesn’t seem to be particularly difficult. The character ‘Spider-Man’ is the biggest IP image. From people’s perspective:

Spider-Man>

Claire Claire is famous for playing Spider-Man, not the other way around. Spider-Man is famous because of Claire. As an anime character that became popular in the American comics industry in the 1960s, it will not be kidnapped by any actor. No one is qualified, not even Claire.

The relationship between Claire and Spider-Man is different from the relationship between Tom Cruise and Mission: Impossible, or the relationship between Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow.
