Chapter 2045 2047 [Where are the Fantastic Beasts]

  So Xiang Nan absorbed Paramount's experience and lessons when making "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

   On the one hand, rearranging the story not only makes the story more exciting and smooth, but also deepens the theme.

  The original version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" is a refreshing popcorn movie without any depth at all. After watching it, there is no need to watch it again.

  However, Xiang Nan added some humanistic touches, such as portraying the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Sprint as a group of heroes who are not recognized by the world, but are still willing to use their talents to help others.

  In fact, the situation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mutants is very similar. They both live in isolation and are discriminated against and excluded by humans. This is very similar to the situation of a certain type of people in society, and therefore, when "X-Men" was released, many people of that type went to the theater to support it.

   And Xiang Nan also wanted to take advantage of this, so he deliberately shaped the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in that direction, in order to gain more recognition.

   On the one hand, the character modeling has been redesigned to be as beautiful and cute as possible, so that it is no longer so scary. Moreover, the style of the movie has also been changed, using more bright and bright colors, and trying to be as close to the cartoon style as possible.

   After all, this is an adaptation of a cartoon for children, and the audience who watch this movie basically come for nostalgia. Therefore, it is too violent and dark, and it is too different from the original work, which is not a good thing for the audience.

  After Xiang Nan's re-editing, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is quite different from the original, and it has indeed won more recognition from the audience after it was released.

  In the end, the North American box office was 180 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars, and the reputation was also very good.

  After watching it, many viewers felt that supporting [Ye Qing Hui] was a familiar taste from childhood. Therefore, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" was immediately scheduled.

   And the success of this movie also made the starring Megan Fox popular.

  She is young, beautiful, and sexual. To the audience, she is really charming, so her popularity has risen sharply and she has become popular.

  …

  In December, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2 was officially released.

  This movie is also the end of the Harry Potter series, so many movie fans went to the theater to watch it out of feelings, which contributed a lot of box office.

  The final North American box office was 350 million US dollars, and the global box office was 1.34 billion US dollars. Such a proud achievement is jaw-dropping.

  According to incomplete statistics, there are a total of nine Harry Potter films, with a box office revenue of about 8 billion US dollars, but the commercial value it created is as high as 30 billion US dollars.

   Its DVD sales, books, games, and derivatives are no worse than box office revenue. Therefore, both Universal Pictures and Xiang Nan made a lot of money.

  With the end of Harry Potter, all colleagues are thankful that Universal Pictures will be missing a big IP.

   Without the "Harry Potter" movie released every year, the value of Harry Potter's IP will decrease year by year. After all, without new works, there will be no new fans. And with the gradual loss of old fans, the value of this IP will disappear sooner or later.

   Just like a singer, the reason why the record industry is in a downturn and new records are constantly released is to maintain popularity. Otherwise, if no new works come out, they will be obsolete faster.

But at this time, Xiang Nan announced on his newly opened Facebook account that the extra chapter of "Harry Potter" "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be released soon, telling the story of the magical world in the 1930s .

  As soon as the news came out, all Harry Potter fans and movie fans were excited.

   But those Hollywood colleagues were yelling at the same time. With "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Universal Pictures will have an inexhaustible gold mine. And these companies will continue to taste the fear of being dominated by magic during the Christmas period, which is really too weak.

  …

  In January 2012, Xiang Nan drew up a filming plan for the new year.

Iron Man 2, Thor, Ghost Rider 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, The Big Short, Now You See Me, Mission: Impossible 6, Life of Pi and The Hunger Games.

   "Iron Man 2", "Mission: Impossible 6", and "Ghost Rider 2" are all sequels, basically using the original cast. In addition to "Iron Man 2", Gal Gadot played the Black Widow.

   "Thor" is a new movie in the Marvel Avengers universe, telling the story of the birth of Thor. The male lead, Xiang Nan, is still planned to be played by Chris Hemsworth, who is still an unknown little artist with very little pay.

   But the heroine, Xiang Nan is not going to use Natalie Portman.

  First of all, Natalie Portman’s salary is very high, and the role of Jane she plays is actually not important. It is really a bit overkill to hire her for a high salary.

  Secondly, there was no spark between Natalie Portman and Chris. To be honest, compared with Hezhen, Thor and Rocky are considered to be in love and kill each other, and they have a more CP sense of happy enemies.

  In this case, Natalie Portman is really not worth it. Xiang Nan is going to re-select the actors. In order to attract more attention, it is possible to hold an audition.

  …

   "The Big Short" mainly tells the causes and process of the subprime mortgage crisis. The subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2007, and the crisis lasted until 2009, and then gradually subsided.

  Xiang Nan did not play tricks in the subprime mortgage crisis. On the one hand, he knows that this crisis has spread too far and its impact is too bad. If he tampers with it, he may become a target of public criticism. After all, after an accident, finding a scapegoat is the most common method of throwing the blame away.

   On the one hand, thousands of innocent citizens suffered losses in the subprime mortgage crisis. They handed over their money to banks, insurance companies, and securities companies, hoping to have a better life in the future. But I didn't expect these banks, insurance companies, and securities companies to buy financial derivatives with their money.

  As a result, when the crisis came, these banks, insurance companies, and securities companies were all rescued, but the money of ordinary people was looted.

   Because of this kind of money, Xiang Nan felt unbearable. This is different from the Internet bubble back then. In the Internet bubble back then, most of the capital money was burned.

  …

   "Now Now You See Me" tells the story of four magicians who outsmart banks, insurance companies, and profiteers through three magic shows. Wonderful and gorgeous magic show, thrilling story, interlocking schemes... It is a very refreshing popcorn movie.

   "Life of Pi" is a movie based on the novel of the same name. The original novel was published in 2001 and stayed on the New York bestseller list for more than a year.

  Xiang Nan bought the film and television adaptation right immediately, but because of the investment, he never filmed it.
