Feng Yu is sitting in his villa in Los Angeles, watching a movie with Elena. No one else can get Iron Man's footage, but Feng Yu can.
There is a small cinema in his villa. Although it is not as luxurious as the cinema in Kirilenko's manor, it can accommodate more than 10 people. The seats are more comfortable.
"Ah, you have so few scenes. What's wrong with that director?!"
Elena was a little embarrassed. "It's just a few scenes, and I've done them many times. But you can't tell during filming. But after it becomes a movie, it is so exciting! "
During the filming, a lot of green screens were used. When Feng Yu saw the actors' performances, all of them looked like idiots. But after the special effects, it becomes a visual feast.
Simply put, Iron Man's plot is smooth, but there is nothing special about it. It is a simple counterattack plot. This method is commonly used in novels and comics.
But as a popcorn movie, it is very attractive. From the beginning to the end, the audience will follow the plot, and the fighting scenes are exciting.
"By the way, have you finished filming that Inception?"
"Not yet. Many props are more troublesome to produce. At that time, the company will prioritize 007 and Iron Man. That's why according to the plan, Inception will be released next year. Now, we are filming and producing at the same time. But it won't be long. It'll probably be done in another month. "
"Ok. You can choose any script you like. It doesn't matter if it is suitable or not."
In Marvel, there is a role suitable for Elena. That is Black Widow. She is a Soviet agent in the original novel.
However, in the script, Black Widow had an emotional entanglement with Captain America. In the end, Elena gave up on the idea. Feng Yu is satisfied with this. He does not want his girl to kiss someone else.
Elena lies in Feng Yu's arms. "No. I cannot let the movie you invested in lose money. You have never lost money in your business. You cannot let this change because of me. Also, I am very happy singing and dancing. Movies are just a side job. "
"Fine. I will ask the company to buy a few scripts for you in the future, or get the best screenwriter to tailor two or three scripts for you."

"Is the box office earnings for Iron Man out? How much is the total?" Sony Pictures' President asked.
"20 million USD."
"Only twenty million USD? In that case, it would be good if their movie could break 300 million USD at the box office. Excluding the actors' salaries, the cost of this movie should be more than 100 million USD, right? Hahaha, this time they will definitely compensate us! "
"President, I'm talking about the North American box office. This Iron Man was released at the same time worldwide. The overseas box office has not been calculated yet, but it is said to be no worse than North America. "
What? The box office in North America alone had reached 20 million USD. Wouldn't the global box office reach 40 million USD? According to the normal box office drop ratio, the global box office of this movie could exceed 600 million US dollars!
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible.
Iron Man was not a popular hero in Marvel Comics. How could he be so popular?
If even Iron Man can have such a high box office, then wouldn't the box office explode after the other heroes in the Marvel Universe come out?
Including the development of peripheral products, wouldn't Wind and Rain Holdings make a huge profit by acquiring Marvel Pictures? Maybe they can recoup their losses in three to five years, and they can continue to make profits for at least ten years!
Damn! Why didn't Sony buy Marvel Pictures in the first place?
But even if they wanted to buy Marvel Pictures, they might not be able to offer a higher price than Disney. There were rumors that Wind and Rain Holdings offered a higher price than Disney!
… …
Disney Pictures' CEO, Cooper, was sipping his coffee slowly when he saw his assistant entering. "The results are out? How much? "
"43,280,000 USD!"
Puff ~ ~ ~
Cough, cough, cough ~ ~
Cooper stood up and took out a few pieces of tissue paper to wipe the coffee stains on his clothes.
"How much did you say? I am talking about the opening day's box office, and not until now! "
"I am talking about the opening day's box office."
Impossible. Although Cooper knew this was the global box office, it should not be so high.
Their premiere in the US was grand and exciting, and there were many celebrities and business tycoons. It's understandable that the opening day's box office was high. But why were they doing so much publicity overseas?
"What is the North American box office?"
"20.28 million USD."
That means the overseas box office is 23 million USD?
This number was definitely different from the actual situation. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so complete. But even if the box office is inflated, it should be more than 20 million USD.
How can Iron Man have such high box office sales?
At this time, many people, like Sony Pictures and Disney Pictures, are paying attention to MGM's Marvel Pictures. They were shocked by this figure.
How can it be so high? Can Iron Man's box office sales be higher than Spiderman's?
There were also different grades among superheroes. The highest grade was naturally those that everyone was familiar with, such as Superman, Spiderman, Batman, and so on. Iron Man should not be ranked at all. Why was the box office appeal so high?
It must be because of the opening day's high box office sales.
Oh, look at Rotten Tomatoes and see how fresh the movie is.
Even if many people watch the premiere, the box office sales will plummet if the movie's reputation is bad. In the past, a movie's box office sales had reached 20 million USD on its opening day, but the final box office sales are less than 50 million USD.
Maybe this Iron Man is the same. Even if it is not that bad, it will not be too good.
When they saw the freshness level on Rotten Tomatoes, everyone was stunned.
93%? How is this possible?!
This high rating means that almost everyone likes this movie. This should not be the case.
This kind of reputation should be given to popular comic heroes like Batman and Spiderman. Why is it Iron Man?
Suddenly, they realized that they had not watched this movie and do not know what is good about it.
But it doesn't matter. Even if they had not watched this movie, they can still find critics to discredit it. Even the fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes can be manipulated by their accounts.
The heads of a few film companies contacted each other privately to give MGM a hard time. Since MGM is in decline, they will not allow MGM to regain its former glory.
If not, after Iron Man becomes popular, all the Marvel Universe's superheroes will also become popular, and it will be a disaster for the other film companies!
They will not let this happen!
