"X-Men 3" is an ensemble movie. The character played by Jun Ji-hyun only appears for no more than five minutes in total.
But that was enough for her.
Just like mainland artists, they once liked to make guest appearances in Hollywood blockbusters. Even the feature film cannot be included and can only appear in the special edition.
Jun Ji-hyun is really interested in this.
As long as she can appear in a Hollywood blockbuster, she is qualified to return to South Korea to brag.
After all, things are rare and valuable! There are very few South Korean actors who can appear in Hollywood, so as long as she can appear in a Hollywood movie, no matter how many roles or how much she is paid, it is a victory.
…
Xiang Nan stayed in Xiangjiang for a week and then returned to Hollywood.
At this time, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is currently in theaters, and its box office and reputation are still satisfactory. The North American box office was US$420 million and the global box office was US$1 billion60 million.
Such results are simply outrageous.
No one would have thought that Hollywood's most taboo pirate-themed and water-themed movies could actually create such a high box office, which is simply incredible.
Disney Studios especially regrets it because Corsair was originally a Disneyland project. But now Universal Pictures has also built a pirate ship entertainment project at Universal Studios with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
Because of the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", this project became popular at Universal Studios, and thousands of children pestered their parents to play at Universal Studios.
As a result, Universal Studios' attendance has surged, creating an additional billion dollars in value every year, which would make Disney crazy with envy.
…
The movie released after "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is "Spider-Man". Starring Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba and James Franco, the film tells the story of the birth of Spider-Man and his feud with the Green Goblin.
Spider-Man is the most popular character in Marvel comics.
On the one hand, he was the first hero to feature a teenager. Before that, those teenagers could only serve as assistants in superhero comics, such as Robin next to Batman. Rather than being an assistant, it is natural to be the protagonist, which is more in line with the aesthetics of teenagers.
On one hand, Spider-Man is the most grounded character. Other superheroes are either extremely wealthy, doctors, lawyers, or killer mercenaries, and they all have enough food and clothing to live without worrying about daily necessities.
Only Spider-Man comes from an ordinary background and even needs to work part-time to earn tuition. This is also very immersive for young people. After all, no matter which country it is, there are more ordinary people and fewer rich people.
Therefore, when its comic book movie was released, many comic fans flocked to the theater to watch it.
And when they watched the movie, they all thought it was a very good movie.
Although many superhero movies have emerged this year, "Spider-Man" still explores the differences between Spidey and other superheroes.
One is ordinary, the other is responsibility. There are many superheroes, but there is only one superhero whose motto is "With great power comes great responsibility", Spider-Man.
He didn't have to do those good things. Unlike Iron Man, he has original sin, unlike the X-Men who were ostracized by society, and unlike Iron Fist and Luke Cage, who has a feud...
He only wants to help others because he has gained the ability. This theme was clearly expressed in the movie and won unanimous recognition from the audience.
Therefore, "Spider-Man" was a huge success. Not only did it receive a very good reputation, but it also grossed $820 million at the box office. Such results made former Marvel boss Ron Paisman so devastated that his intestines turned green.
He sold Marvel to Xiang Nan for US$230 million that year. Now, Xiang Nan can earn at least 600 million US dollars from one "Spider-Man" alone, which is heartbreaking to think about.
And it's not just Ron Peseman who is heartbroken, other Hollywood film companies also regret it. The $230 million acquisition of Marvel is definitely the right price.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that superhero movies could be so popular at the time, so they had no intention of acquiring Marvel. Well now, even if you spend 10 billion US dollars, you will definitely not be able to buy back Marvel.
…
Entering October, "X-Men 2" will be released.
Compared with its predecessor, this movie has a larger investment, more amazing special effects, and a more ups and downs story. Therefore, after its release, the film received a better reputation and performed better at the box office.
The final global box office was nearly $500 million. Compared with the production cost of 110 million US dollars, such box office results can be said to be quite good.
In November, the fantasy action film "Underworld" starring Kate Beckinsale was released.
The investment for this movie is actually very small, only 25 million US dollars. In order to save costs, the movie was not shot in the United States, but in Romania.
The living standards, extra commissions and venue rental fees there are very low. In particular, Romania even provides tax relief measures in order to attract foreign investment, which attracts many Hollywood crews to shoot scenes.
However, although this film has a low investment, the production level is not bad.
The charming vampire, the terrifying werewolf, the cool styling, and the fierce fighting all dazzled the audience. This dark gothic style is very attractive to young audiences.
Therefore, the film finally took in a box office of 95 million US dollars, which is not very high, but it is enough to start the next sequel.
…
In December, during the Christmas period, the movie released is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Also released at the same time was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is the second part of the series. It is still directed by Chris Columbus. His best director is children's movies.
He has directed films such as the "Home Alone" series and "Jurassic Park" before, and has very rich experience in this area.
Therefore, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was also shot by him with suspense and excitement, and both book fans and movie fans were very satisfied.
In the end, the film earned a global box office of US$870 million, which can be said to be quite a hit. This also makes colleagues envious.
If Marvel was picked up by Xiang Nan before, this "Harry Potter" series was created by him himself.
A person who can successively create "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Harry Potter", "Lethal Weapon", "Die Hard" and many other popular IPs is really unparalleled in terms of talent.
This also makes all Hollywood filmmakers have to admire.
Due to the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", tens of millions of copies of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" have also been sold, and many book fans even queued up overnight to buy the book.
This alone has brought hundreds of millions in revenue to Xiang Nan.
