Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Chapter 2067 2069 [Pirates of the Caribbean 5]

  Xiang Nan then began to train Bella Thorne, Gail Gadot, Lan Yan, Ni Ni, Megan Fox, Dutch Brother, Ryan Reynolds and others.

   "I'm very optimistic about your future, don't let me down." Xiang Nan said to his brother in Holland.

  Among everyone, only he is the youngest, plays the heaviest role, and is the first to cooperate with Xiang Nan.

   "Yes, Mr. Charles, I promise to work a hundred times harder." Tom Holland nodded.

  Xiang Nan also nodded.

   Anyway, he has not officially signed a contract yet, and he still has a few months of observation time. If Tom Holland and Bella Thorne don't perform well, he won't give them another chance.

  …

  In August, "Iron Man 3" was released.

  Although superhero movies are flooding nowadays, not to mention how many superhero movies Universal has launched, even Warner next door is not idle.

  Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Suicide Squad...these superheroes have all been released or are in production.

  In addition, there are Hellboy, Underworld Police Department, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers... There are more than 30 kinds of them.

  But although there are many superheroes, Iron Man is still the most popular.

   On the one hand, he's charming. He is both a genius and a short-lived man, a **** and an infatuated lover, both responsible and carefree.

  He is a contradictory and three-dimensional character. Compared with other superheroes, he is more charming and lovable.

  Boys like him for being smart, rich, unrestrained and responsible; girls like him for being handsome, infatuated, and prodigal. Therefore, although Xiang Nan has repeatedly weakened his central position in the Avengers, he is still the most popular superhero.

   After the release of "Iron Man 3", it also achieved a very good box office. In the end, the North American box office was 409 million US dollars, the overseas box office was 805 million US dollars, and the global box office was 1.21 billion US dollars.

   "Iron Man 3" is also the first superhero movie with a box office of more than 1.2 billion US dollars, which can be said to have made history.

   Such a result also made Warner, Paramount, Fox, etc. next door cry.

  …

  In September, "King Kong Vs Godzilla" will be released.

   Both monsters have the title of king, not only equal in strength, but also equally popular. It can be said that the dragon in the cloud meets the dragon in the fog, the tiger on the downhill meets the tiger on the mountain, and the needlepoint meets the wheat awn.

  Who is strong and who is weak, naturally you have to knock hard to know who is the real king of monsters.

  But at the end of the movie, it didn’t say who would win and who would win, because they were fighting each other, and they aimed at the mechanical Godzilla made by humans.

  After fighting Mechanical Godzilla, King Kong and Godzilla parted ways, and no one paid attention to the other.

   This is actually by design. After all, the popularity of the two monsters is evenly matched, and the fans will not accept whoever loses, so the best way is not to decide the outcome, so that no one has anything to say. Just like "Freddy vs. Jason", there is no loss or win in the end.

   And it’s different from the original King Kong vs. Godzilla. The original version was filmed after "Godzilla: King of the Monsters". Mechanical Godzilla used Ghidorah's energy, which caused Godzilla's hatred and attacks.

   But now that Ghidorah is not dead, Mechanical Godzilla naturally has nothing to do with it. It follows the original book, which is a mechanical monster created by humans to fight against Godzilla.

  After all, when Godzilla appeared before, it caused huge losses to human society, so it is inevitable for humans to prepare to deal with it.

   It's just that the mechanical Godzilla not only provoked Godzilla, but also provoked King Kong. As a result, he was dismantled to pieces. In the end, humans who intended to control nature swallowed all the bitter fruit.

   "King Kong vs. Godzilla", with its gorgeous special effects, grand scenes, and wonderful stories, finally won a very good reputation and box office.

  In the end, the box office in North America was 250 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 700 million U.S. dollars. Not bad for a production costing as much as $200 million.

  …

  In October, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" will be released.

  Captain Jack returned again, and also brought Will Turner and Elizabeth's son Henry Turner, as well as the old enemy Barbossard's daughter Carina.

  In this part, they will look for the legendary Poseidon's trident. It is rumored that as long as you break it, you can break all the curses of the ocean.

  In this way, Will Turner, the captain of the Flying Dutchman, can reunite with his wife Elizabeth instead of making out every ten years.

   But in this way, those who were subject to the curse in the past will return again. Like the dreaded Davy Jones. Moreover, if the Flying Dutchman extradites the souls of the dead, Calypso, the **** of the sea, will be furious and retaliate.

   Therefore, this paved the way for "Pirates of the Caribbean 6".

  The return of Captain Jack is a big surprise for every movie fan. Therefore, before the movie was released, the audience was already looking forward to it.

   Therefore, when it was released, fans flocked to it, and the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars on the first day, which is really amazing. In the end, the box office in North America was 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was nearly 800 million U.S. dollars.

   This score is worse than "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and the reputation is not as good as the previous one. The reason for this is probably because Captain Jack took a backseat, and Henry Turner and Carina played the leading role.

   But such a result is not bad, at least Universal Pictures earned more than the previous one.

  Because Captain Jack was the protagonist in the last film, Universal Pictures also offered Johnny Depp a sky-high salary, wishing to give him one-third of the budget.

   And in this movie, he was a supporting role, and his pay was cut in half. Although the box office is less, Universal Pictures has also paid less. On the whole, it is actually more profitable.

   Moreover, Xiang Nan is also trying to replace Depp.

   After all, he is old now, and will be sixty soon.

   No one likes to see a wrinkled old man flirting around, even if that person is Depp.

   What's more, there are so many action scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Depp is not Xiang Nan, he doesn't practice kung fu, and he is usually full of wine, **** and wealth, so he is only in his fifties, and he looks like he has been hollowed out, and he won't be able to fight for a few years.

   And "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a very, very good IP, and Xiang Nan doesn't want it tied to Depp. So try to foster new characters now.

   If Henry Turner and Carina Barbosa can hold up this series, that's great. They are still very young, and they should be able to shoot for many years, but I don't know if they can hold on.
