In general, the plot of "The Amazing Spider-Man" is still passable.

   Not only is it perfectly integrated into the universe of "The Avengers", but it also has a new perspective on the story after the New York War, which is undoubtedly a benefit for movie fans.

  The Dutch version of Spider-Man also strives to be the best at restoring comics. For example, Spider-Man is a chatterbox, and like Deadpool, he is the two big funny comparisons in Marvel comics.

  Tobey Maguire’s version of Spider-Man was not filmed this way, but the Dutch version restored this habit, and it was more in line with his image of a sophomore, which also won the support of many comic fans.

   Coupled with the handsome image of the Dutch brother and his neat movements, which are no worse than Toby's version, this movie still won the recognition of fans.

  The final North American box office was 290 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 880 million U.S. dollars. Newcomers and new works have such amazing results, which also shows how popular the IP of Spider-Man is.

  Xiang Nan plans to let the little spider take over the leadership of the Avengers after Iron Man exits. To be honest, his popularity is fine, but the story must be well-arranged.

  …

  In February, Universal Pictures released "Now You See Me 2", which tells the story of the four knights of the apocalypse who, after facing smarter, fiercer and stronger opponents, unite as one, go through hardships and defeat powerful enemies.

  The original version of "Now You See Me 2" also has such a story, but it is a pity that the screenwriter did not write this story well.

  One is that the suspense is not well grasped. Whether it is the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or the masters, all their thoughts and actions have been exposed by the screenwriter in advance.

  A very good suspenseful crime film was made into a cheesy action film. There is no sense of suspense at all, and the audience will lose a lot of fun watching the movie.

  The second is that the character creation is not good. The shameless magician Laidley, who struggled to be imprisoned in the first part, was whitewashed in the second part.

  Because the original heroine was pregnant and gave birth to a child, this version has a new female magician. As a result, the shaping was very unsuccessful, noisy, brainless and deadly.

  The story is not well arranged, the characters are not well shaped, there are only gorgeous action scenes and special effects, and the audience will naturally not buy it.

   Therefore, "Now Now You See Me 2" failed miserably at the box office, with a North American box office of more than 80 million US dollars and a global box office of less than 200 million US dollars. And it cost a whopping $130 million.

  Producer Lionsgate Pictures lost nearly 80 million US dollars. Since then, the "Now You See Me" series has been completely blocked, wasting an otherwise good theme.

  …

  Actually, the failure of the script cannot be entirely blamed on the screenwriter.

  Even if the screenwriter wants to write an excellent story, he may not be able to write it because of his limited ability and limited cognition.

  There is a well-known law of creation, that is, the IQ of the characters created by the author cannot be higher than the author himself.

   Therefore, the screenwriter wanted to write about a group of geniuses fighting against even more talented people, but because of my limited IQ, I couldn't imagine how talents with high IQs would fight wits and courage, so naturally the writing was full of loopholes.

   Fortunately, Xiang Nan is a real genius with an IQ of 187, making him one of the smartest people in the world. Moreover, he is familiar with the Twenty-Four Histories, official and unofficial histories, and notes on novels. War tactics and so on.

   You must know that in Chinese history, the smartest people were engaged in politics. In the Twenty-Four Histories, there are a lot of conspiracies, strategies and countermeasures, all of which are made by people with high IQs.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan read many books, collected the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, and created characters with high IQ, so naturally it was no problem.

  Under his arrangement, the opponents faced by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are both smart and ruthless, and have no bottom line. They are very difficult and powerful opponents. Fighting wits and courage against such an opponent, the story is naturally wonderful and beautiful.

   Therefore, "Now Now You See Me 2" performed very well at the box office. In the end, the North American box office was 210 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was 540 million U.S. dollars, which is a big increase from the previous box office.

  So "Now You See Me 3" was also scheduled.

  The success of "Now You See Me 2" also made Lan Yan's reputation rise again.

  In fact, she originally had good acting skills, good looks, and a very good figure, but unfortunately she was not popular, and even if she was full of talents, she had nowhere to display them. So in order to become popular, she had no choice but to shoot "3D Futon".

   Now, she has successfully turned over with "You Now You See Me". And this "Now You See Me 2" will definitely make her stardom go more smoothly.

  …

  In March, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan returned to Hollywood to attend the Oscars.

   This year's Oscars, "Moonlight", "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Manchester by the Sea" are the favorites to win.

  In comparison, the films produced by Universal Pictures last year were all commercial films. In today's environment where Oscars are increasingly leaning towards literary and artistic films, these films can only be nominated for some technical awards even if they are nominated. It is basically impossible to get an achievement award.

  Xiang Nan is coming to the Oscars now, purely for the sake of support. Now that I am gathering popularity, after two years, I will be able to receive a lifetime achievement award just like Jackie Chan.

   And the final result was as expected, "Moonlight" won the best picture, "Hacksaw Ridge" won the best film editing, "Manchester by the Sea" won the best actor...

  …

  In April, Xiang Nan started filming "Fast and Furious 7".

  The original team member Ma Tongtong returns, and there is also Steiner Kadik who played the Brazilian policewoman in "Fast and Furious 4".

   Steiner Kadic starred in "Fast and Furious 4" in 2008, and because of this movie, she gained the attention of the industry. At the end of 2008, she was successfully selected by the crew of "Spiritual Detective" to play the heroine hot police officer Beckett.

   After that, the ratings of this show were very good, and Steiner Kadic became a popular actress. However, in 2016, the show suddenly announced its end.

  The reason is that Steiner had a conflict with Nathan Fillion, who played the leading actor.

  Nathan Fillion became famous earlier, with successful works such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Firefly", "Beloved", "Dracula 2000" and so on.

   And "Spiritual Detective" is also based on him, so his salary is much higher than Steiner. After filming so many seasons, Nathan Fillion is no longer the only bargaining chip for ratings. Steiner Kadic's role is equally important, so she also hopes to have the same pay as Nathan Fillion.

   After all, they are male and female protagonists, and their roles are equally important. They should be equal pay for equal work. Originally, this was a matter between her and the crew, but Nathan Fillion insisted on overpowering Steiner and did not allow her to be paid the same as him.

   So there was a conflict, and finally Steiner unilaterally announced his withdrawal from "Spiritual Detective". The crew originally wanted to try to find another actress to replace this role.

  But after investigation, it was found that the audience did not approve of the new heroine, so it was finally decided to end the drama.
