In October, "Ghost Rider 3" will be released. In this film, Ghost Rider will face a more ferocious and powerful enemy-Lilith, the Mother of Demons.

She is one of the leaders of the devil, has many people, and is extremely powerful. Therefore, the Ghost Rider is destined to be in a tough battle, but the final victory is naturally his.

Compared with the previous two works, this "Ghost Rider 3" has a larger investment and further expands the Midnight Sons universe. In this film, the hell where the demon kings live is officially shown to the audience.

Fiery flames, ferocious demons, endless killings...the sight of hell makes the audience shudder, and the battlefield of "Midnight's Children 3" will take place here.

At that time, Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze will take away Mephisto's throne as the King of Hell and become the new King of Hell. This will also be the end of the "Midnight Sons" universe.

Talking back to "Ghost Rider 3", a good story, coupled with gorgeous special effects, grand scenes, and exciting fighting scenes are enough for "Ghost Rider 3" to achieve a good box office.

In the end, the North American box office was US$210 million and the global box office was US$580 million. Compared with the investment of US$150 million, such results are definitely acceptable.

…

In November, "X-Men: Evolution" will be released.

The enemy this version of the X-Men has to deal with is Mr. Sinister.

Compared with Apocalypse, he is stronger and more cunning. In particular, he is good at gene cloning technology, so he collected a batch of mutant genes early for cloning and transformation. Like Cable, he used Jean Gray The clone and Cyclops had a son.

Because he is good at cloning technology, there are a large number of cloned mutants around him. Their strength is the same as that of the original body, and even after genetic modification, it is even better.

Therefore, Mister Sinister is much more difficult to deal with than Apocalypse, and can be said to be the strongest opponent the X-Men face.

However, evil triumphs over good, and in the end, Mister Sinister is defeated by the **Men. But his plan has succeeded, and Cable is still pregnant by Jean Grey's clone.

And this will also lead to the next boss, Kang the Conqueror from the future world.

"X-Men: Evolution" has done well at the box office after it was released. First of all, the scene is big enough. Professor .

Secondly, the story is quite fresh and interesting. Although the concept of cloning is not new, cloning mutants is still thoughtful.

And because the clones and the original look have almost the same abilities, the early stages of the movie also involve plots such as counterfeiting, infiltration, lurking, and stealing secrets. It is similar to the sci-fi version of "Mission: Impossible" and is still very suspenseful and tense.

Therefore, it is naturally beneficial to the box office. The final box office in North America was US$350 million, and the global box office was US$840 million, which was even better than the previous film.

Xiang Nan is already very satisfied with this achievement. After all, its investment is only US$180 million. You can't be too greedy as a person.

…

"Captain America 3" will be released in December.

The plot is the same as the original version, with almost no changes. After all, the original plot is already very good.

Although in the eyes of the Chinese people who pay attention to repaying blood with blood and tooth for tooth, the Black Panther forgiving Major Zemo felt a bit like the Virgin Mary. However, this approach is indeed in line with the mainstream of the United States, so Xiang Nan did not modify the plot.

"Captain America 3" ultimately achieved a very good box office, with a North American box office of 480 million US dollars and a global box office of 1.15 billion US dollars. It is one of the highest-grossing superhero movies.

This movie not only introduced the superhero Black Panther, but also announced the disintegration of the Avengers. This also paved the way for the subsequent "Avengers 3 and 4".

Overall, Xiang Nan is very satisfied with the performance of this movie.

…

In January 2019, Xiang Nan decided on the shooting plan for the new year.

"Thor 3", "Avengers 3.4", "Ant-Man 2", "Captain Marvel", "John Wick 2, 3, 4", "No Time to Die", "Morbius the Vampire 3" ”, “Midnight’s Sons 3”, “The Fast and the Furious 2” and “A Dog’s Road Home”.

This year's shooting schedule is a little rushed, and several movies are shot together. Because Xiang Nan knows that the epidemic will come next year, and if he doesn't prepare early, it will be difficult to shoot by then. The crew will stop work every now and then. , will cause great losses.

Moreover, Xiang Nan didn't want them to take risks while filming.

In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan returned to China to visit relatives as usual.

In January, Universal Pictures also released "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3," which continues to tell the story of the love-hate relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Because the first two "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" were both good word-of-mouth and box office successes, its golden name has been established. Now that it is released again, the box office will naturally attract attention.

The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million US dollars, and finally ended with a total box office of 1 billion and 50 million US dollars. The results were very satisfactory.

In comparison, "Maze Runner 3" released by Fox Pictures has a global box office of nearly 180 million, which is far lower than the industry's expectations.

Because the previous two "Maze Runner" cost 30 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 340 million US dollars, and "Maze Runner 2" cost 50 million US dollars, and the global box office also reached 300 million US dollars.

"Maze Runner 3" invested US$60 million, and the industry originally expected that its box office would reach about US$500 million. However, unexpectedly, its results were only US$180 million, which was US$320 million less than the expected box office. Ten thousand.

Such a huge gap has also disappointed the industry. It has been reflected in the stock market. It can be seen that Fox Pictures' stock price has fallen for three days in a row, and its market value has dropped by nearly one billion U.S. dollars.

The disastrous failure of "Maze Runner 3" also puzzled the industry.

Because at the same time, the box office of youth-themed action movies, such as the "Hunger Games" series, the "Twilight" series and the "Harry Potter" series, is basically higher than the last one. Like the ones behind "Harry Potter" Several movies have grossed over one billion dollars at the box office.

But the box office of the "Maze Runner" series is lower than the last one. It's really crazy.

Only Xiang Nan knew that although the themes of these movies were similar, they were all youth-themed, and their audiences were all teenagers, but the producers were completely different.

Whether it's "The Hunger Games", "Twilight" or "Harry Potter", the scripts are all written or reviewed by Xiang Nan himself, and are specially created according to the tastes of teenagers. Although each one has a good reputation There are highs and lows, but the basic story is smooth and guaranteed.

In comparison, the story of "Maze Runner 3" is not good.
