Chapter 1935 1937 [Super Daredevil]

   Daredevil, also known as Daredevil, debuted in 1964, formerly known as Matt Murdoch. He was blinded by nuclear waste since he was a child, but his other senses are different from ordinary people.

   Later, under the guidance of Gunsou, he learned a good martial arts, and by virtue of his intelligence, he successfully obtained a lawyer's license. From then on, a blind lawyer who spoke impassionedly in court during the day to uphold justice for the weak turned into a Daredevil at night, fighting for justice and fighting crime.

  The reason why Xiang Nan used Daredevil to start the journey of Marvel film and television is mainly because Daredevil does not have any superpowers, so he does not need to use a lot of special effects, so the production is relatively easy. After all, he didn't want to take too many risks for the first work to test the waters.

  Xiang Nan was filming "Mission Impossible 2" while conceiving the script of "Daredevil".

   Time passed, and in May, Universal Pictures released "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" starring Monica Bellucci.

   This film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Monica Bellucci also became a hit with this film and enjoyed a high reputation in the international film circle. Now this film is finally released in the United States.

  Unfortunately, since this is an Italian-language film, and it is a restricted-rated film, it was shown in limited theaters, so the box office performance was not very good. In the end, it only won more than 3 million US dollars in the box office in the United States.

  However, the investment in the film itself is not large. When it was released in other countries before, it has already earned tens of millions of dollars at the box office. So overall, Xiang Nan didn't lose money.

  Besides, his purpose of making this movie was for Monica Bellucci.

   This woman alone is worth everything.

  …

  In June, the summer vacation has arrived.

  Universal Pictures first released the comedy "Professor Fat" starring Eddie Murphy.

  Although Eddie Murphy has been a bit outdated in recent years, he is still a tiger, and he will never fall. He is still the most outstanding African-American star in Hollywood, and has the strongest box office appeal among African-Americans.

   Therefore, after the release of "Professor Fatty", there are still a group of diehard fans.

  The so-called die-hard fans are those people who will support him no matter how bad his movies are.

   And when they went to the theater, they were surprised to find that the movie was much better than they had imagined.

   As a result, the word-of-mouth of "Professor Fatty" immediately rose. With a good reputation, coupled with Eddie Murphy's high popularity, "The Fatty Professor" is naturally a big hit at the box office.

  In the end, the box office in North America was 128 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 270 million U.S. dollars. Eddie Murphy successfully turned salted fish over with this film.

   And this also makes more outdated stars look forward to cooperating with Universal Pictures. Because there have been successful cases of Sylvester Stallone turning salty fish before, and now coupled with the demonstration effect of Eddie Murphy, those outdated stars are naturally willing to cooperate with Universal Pictures.

   Xiang Nan also welcomed this.

   A former star is also a star, and if he plays well, he is also valuable.

  …

  In July, the action blockbuster "Prison in the Air" starring Xiang Nan, George Clooney, John Malkovich and Jennifer Aniston was officially released.

  The story of this movie is thrilling, the plot is ups and downs, and there must be actions and scenes. Especially when the protagonist himself is facing a plane of vicious criminals, the sense of tension and oppression hits his face, which makes the audience breathless throughout the whole process.

   It is precisely because of this that when the protagonist wins, the audience will feel refreshed like never before. So after "Prison in the Air" was released, as expected, it sold well at the box office.

  The box office in North America exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 240 million U.S. dollars. It can be said to be a very successful commercial blockbuster, enough to be compared with "True Lies".

  The heroine played by Jennifer Aniston, although she doesn't play much time, the role is not too important. But after all, she is still a legitimate heroine, so the big sale of this film also made a good start for her to enter the film industry.

It is worth mentioning that in the movie, the most eye-catching performance is the big villain played by John Malkovich. He is insidious, cunning, ruthless, and full of leadership. Demonstrated superhuman talent.

   In addition, the serial killer Garland Green played by Steve Buscemi, although the combined playing time is less than the heroine played by Jennifer Aniston.

   But as the saying goes, there are no small roles, only small actors. Through his wonderful performance, this serial killer still left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

  Even because he escaped the police in the end, the audience also speculated whether Xiang Nan deliberately left a tail for the future filming of "Prison in the Air 2".

  …

  In August, Universal Pictures released "Aero 2" starring Jim Carrey and Halle Berry.

  This film tells the story of the animal detective plane head to the African continent to help the local tribe find the lost fetish - a story of a white bat.

  Jim Carrey is now one of the most popular comedians in Hollywood. He is extremely talented in comedy, and he is invincible in the world in terms of expression changes and rhythm control.

   Therefore, even if the comedy films he starred in have a slightly weaker story, his performance can make up for the shortcomings. The story of "Detective Airplane 2" is good, coupled with his wonderful performance, it is enough to make the audience laugh out loud.

   As a result, "Aeroplane 2" has won critical acclaim, and its box office performance is even more eye-catching. In the end, the North American box office of this film was 108 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 240 million U.S. dollars. It can be said to be a very successful work.

  Jim Carrey continues to be the chief comedy star with his excellent performance in this movie. Although Halle Berry only acted as a vase in the movie, he continued to be among the most popular African-American actresses at the box office just because of the big sales of the movie.

  …

   Entering September, "Casino", directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Sophie Marceau, Joe Pesci, etc., was officially released.

   This movie tells the story of Sam, who is a cheater, who is very successful in the casino, but because of this, he is so popular that he is not only cheated of money by a woman, but also turns against his brother. In the end, he recognized the cruel reality of the casino, and chose to retire from the arena.

  This is a story about how a hound must be mourned on the mountain, how the general will not die in battle, and whether success or failure turns around. It is also the subject that Mr. Martin Scorsese is best at.

  Under his careful direction, this movie is full of epic style and very intriguing. Therefore, after the release, not only the media praised it, but also performed well at the box office.

  With US$43 million in North America and US$102 million at the global box office, it is considered a successful work.
