Overall, the plot of "The Amazing Spider-Man" is passable.
Not only is it perfectly integrated into the "Avengers" universe, but it also presents a new perspective on the story after the New York War, which is undoubtedly a bonus for movie fans.
The Dutch version of Spider-Man also strives to be the best at restoring the comics. For example, Spider-Man is a chatterbox, and like Deadpool, he is one of the two most amusing characters in Marvel comics.
Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man was not shot this way, but the Dutch version restored this habit and was more in line with his image of a middle-aged boy. This also won the support of many comic fans.
Coupled with the fact that the Dutch boy is handsome and has neat movements, which is no worse than the Toby version, this movie still won the recognition of movie fans.
The final box office in North America was US$290 million and the global box office was US$880 million. The newcomer's new work has such amazing results, which also shows how popular the Spider-Man IP is.
Xiang Nan plans to let Spider-Man take over the leadership of the Avengers after Iron Man retires. To be honest, it is possible given his popularity, but the story must be well arranged.
…
In February, Universal Pictures released "Now You See Me 2," which tells the story of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who united together to defeat their formidable enemies after facing smarter, more ruthless, and more powerful opponents.
The original "Now You See Me 2" also has such a story, but unfortunately, the screenwriter did not write this story well.
First, the suspense was not grasped well. Regardless of 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 suspense crime film was turned into a cheesy action film with no sense of suspense at all, and the audience lost a lot of fun watching the film.
Second, the characters are not well created. In the first part, the shameless magician La Deli was imprisoned with great difficulty, but in the second part he was cleared.
And because the original heroine is pregnant and has a baby, this version has a new female magician. The result was a huge failure, noisy, brainless, and suicidal.
The story is not well arranged, the characters are not well created, and there are only gorgeous action scenes and special effects. Naturally, the audience will not buy it.
Therefore, "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 costs a whopping $130 million.
The producer, Lionsgate Pictures, lost nearly $80 million. Since then, the "Now You See Me" series has been completely blocked, wasting an otherwise good subject.
…
In fact, the failure of the script cannot be entirely blamed on the screenwriter.
Even if a screenwriter wants to write an excellent story, he may not be able to write it due to limited abilities and limited knowledge.
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 more talented people, but because of my limited IQ, I couldn't imagine how talented people with high IQs battled wits and courage, so the writing was naturally full of loopholes.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is a true genius, with an IQ of 187, making him one of the smartest people in the world. Moreover, he was familiar with the Twenty-Four Histories, the Official and Unofficial History, and his notes. The art of war, tactics, etc.
You must know that in Chinese history, the smartest people were engaged in politics. The Twenty-Four Histories contain a large number of conspiracies, strategies, and countermeasures, all of which were created by people with high IQs.
Therefore, Xiang Nan read many books, gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and created characters with high IQs. It is natural that it is not a problem.
Under his arrangement, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse faced an opponent who was smart, ruthless, and had no bottom line. He was a very difficult and powerful opponent. The story of battling wits and courage with such an opponent is naturally exciting and interesting.
Therefore, "Now You See Me 2" performed very well at the box office, with a final North American box office of US$210 million and a global box office of US$540 million, which was a big increase from the previous film's box office.
Therefore, "Now You See Me 3" is also scheduled.
The success of "Now You See Me 2" has also made Lan Yan's reputation rise again.
In fact, she originally had good acting skills, good looks, and a great figure, but it was a pity that there was no one to support her, and even though she was full of talents, she had nowhere to put them to use. So in order to become popular, she had to film "3D Futon".
Now, she has successfully turned around with "Now You See Me". And this "Now You See Me 2" will definitely make her star journey smoother.
…
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 movies produced by Universal Pictures last year were all commercial films. In today's environment where the Oscars are increasingly leaning towards literary and artistic films, these films can only be nominated for some technical awards, and it is basically impossible to win the achievement award.
Xiang Nan comes to the Oscars now just to support him. Now, if you accumulate popularity, after two years, you can get a lifetime achievement award like Jackie Chan.
The final results were as expected. "Moonlight" won the best picture, "Hacksaw Ridge" won the best film editing, and "Manchester by the Sea" won the best actor...
…
In April, Xiang Nan began preparations for filming "Fast and Furious 7".
All the original team members are back, including Stana Katic, who played the Brazilian policewoman in "Fast and Furious 4".
Steiner Cadick starred in "Fast and Furious 4" in 2008, and because of this movie, she gained attention in the industry. At the end of 2008, she was successfully selected by the crew of "The Secret Detective" to play the heroine, the hot police officer Beckett.
Afterwards, the show's ratings were very good, and Steiner Kadik became a popular actress. However, within a year or six, the show suddenly announced its end.
The reason was a conflict between Steiner and Nathan Fillion, who played the male lead.
Nathan Fillion became famous earlier, having previously produced successful works such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Firefly", "Beloved", and "Dracula 2000".
And "The Detective" also features him as the main character, so his salary is much higher than Steiner's. After so many seasons, Nathan Fillion is no longer the only ratings bargaining chip. Steiner Caddick's role is equally important, so she also hopes to get the same salary as Nathan Fillion.
After all, they are male and female protagonists, their roles are equally important, and they should receive equal pay for equal work. Originally this was a matter between her and the crew, but it turned out that Nathan Fillion insisted on suppressing Steiner and did not allow her to be paid the same as himself.
A conflict ensued, and eventually Steiner unilaterally announced his withdrawal from "The Secret Detective." The crew wanted to try to find another actress to replace this role.
However, after investigation, it was found that the audience did not approve of the new heroine, so it was finally decided to end the drama.
