On May 5, "Iron Man" will be released five days after it was released.

North America, Marvel.

"What did you say? You say it again? The global box office of $211 million?" Kevin Feige stared wide and his hands excitedly grabbed his assistant's arm.

"Yes, boss, Iron Man has scored $211 million worldwide in just 5 days," his assistant repeated.

"omg!!!omg!!!" Kevin Feige's hands holding the other person's arms opened, then hugged his head with both hands and grabbed the hair on his head.

These days, since the premiere of "Iron Man", Kevin Feige has not paid attention to the box office and warned his assistant not to report to him.

Because he was also afraid of getting an unacceptable number. Once the box office failed, the Marvel Cinema Universe project might be difficult to give birth, and even the danger of stillbirth is present.

Until today, Kevin finally couldn't help but ask.

But the numbers he got were unbelievable, and his good grades made him unable to find Bei for a while.

Hollywood and the film industry are already in a turmoil, and even Wall Street and the capital circle can’t sit still. Blue Star Technology Group and Luo Sheng both dug up their treasures, conquering the whole world with unparalleled vision and vision.

Disney is so furious that it regrets it. Why didn’t it take action at the beginning?

There is no doubt that another non-sequel comic hero has taken off the box office list, which is the opening film of this year's summer season - "Iron Man" produced by Marvel Studios and released by Paramount.

From April 30 to May 4, it took only five days for Robert Downey Jr.'s new film to win a global box office of US$211 million. This not only brought Marvel's rebirth, but also brought Downey to a turning point in his life.

Among them, the film's North American box office was US$114 million and the overseas box office was US$97 million, which greatly exceeded the predictions and expectations of box office experts from the distribution company Paramount and major media around the world.

For Hollywood, this result means more. During the first week of "Iron Man", an insider in the film industry commented: "We just experienced an extremely bad spring season, but "Iron Man" proves that audiences will still go to the cinema."

It is no longer possible for Hollywood to get a better summer season opening result than this one.

A Paramount senior manager did not hide his ecstasy and responded in response to the media interview: "Iron Man defeated Will Smith and Jesus."

He refers to the premiere of "Iron Man" surpassing Will Smith's film "I Am a Legend" last year and "The Passion of Christ" directed by Mel Gibson, both of which are super blockbusters, but "Iron Man" is even more popular.

The senior Paramount manager also said that at the Paramount internal meeting, several people boldly predicted that the premiere of "Iron Man" would be between 80 million and 90 million dollars, and they were ridiculed by others.

Marvel is now in a carnival, and all the pressure is relieved.

The movie "Iron Man" almost bet on everything about Marvel. It started preparations in 2005 and has always kept Kevin Feige and others sleepless at night this year, and they are always worried about the tragic ending of the collapse.

But all this changed with the film's box office boom. The great success of "Iron Man" undoubtedly gave Marvel unprecedented confidence. Now it is backed by an IT giant, which is even more of a double guarantee.

Judging from the box office success of "Iron Man", it seems that Marvel sold itself to Blue Star Technology Group to lose a lot, but Avi Arard and other Marvel executives do not feel regretful. Blue Star Technology also has to bear the risk of the failure of the film.

It can only be said that some people deserve to make a lot of money, and as long as the grand plan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is successful, they will not lose money.

"From now on, I'm afraid the projects you like will not be so easy to acquire, because there will be many people who will compete with you. As long as you like, you will definitely be in a strife, which is almost an alternative weather vane for investment."

In a lounge at the Coast of Blue Company, Qin Weimu came here and sat down in an empty seat next to Luo Sheng. The latter was eating with a bag of snacks in one hand, and sliding the laptop in front of him with the other hand to browse the contents of the page.

Hearing Qin Weimu's words, Luo Sheng replied casually: "Do you want to be so metaphysical? You really think of me as Bafilte?"

At this moment, he is paying attention to the news about Marvel and "Iron Man". The movie has been released for a week. This not only affects the investment of Soft Girl Coin of 16.5 billion, but also the company's top priority in streaming video business content ecology. Luo Sheng is still quite concerned about it.

Qin Weimu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him and said, "Didn't you read the news? Someone in the investment industry has commented like this, saying that you are an investment genius born in the non-professional investment field."

Luo Sheng smiled: "I barely accept this title."

Qin Weimu couldn't help but smile.

Luo Sheng has really not taken many investments. After counting the first transaction, he bought the hao123 navigation website, then acquired three game companies, Take two, V Society and "Polish Stupid", and bought Blizzard Entertainment, and then the acquisition of Marvel. There is also another merger case, the ongoing MySQL company. The company's merger and acquisition negotiations have basically been finalized this month. The contract has been signed and the EU has passed.

Costa del Azure acquired Swedish open source database developer mysql ab for $1.1 billion.

It can be said that Luo Sheng's investment and mergers and acquisitions are counted, but the success rate is a bit scary. So far, no investment case has been classified as failed, and they have all been greatly successful. The only uncertainty is mysql company. This company still has no way of seeing the tricks, so let's not talk about it.

That means that the success rate of Luo Sheng's investment and merger case is 100%. A merger and acquisition transaction is better than those professional VC investors 100 times. This acquisition of Marvel is the most shocking.

Because of the merger and acquisition, "Iron Man" exploded in a few days, making countless VCs feel incredible.

Let’s talk about Marvel. The current high box office of "Iron Man" still comes from the good reputation of the film. On the imdb voted by movie fans, this comic adaptation scored an average score of 8.4, which is an extremely rare high score for a science fiction action blockbuster.

In comparison, the second episode with the highest score in the Spider-Man series is only 7.8 points.

The information collected by the cinema is also roughly the same. Young audiences aged 18 to 24 gave the video a high score of A+.

The picky film critics also gave almost unanimous praise to the combination of Jon and Downey this time. Among the nearly 200 reviews collected by Rotten Tomato website, "Iron Man" has a praise rate of 94%, which is comparable to last year's highly praised "Spy Shadows 3".

Generally speaking, super-selling films have the best results on the first day of release, as was the case with "Spider-Man 3" last year. The popular "Iron Man" has a box office of $35.13 million, $37.5 million and $28.12 million in North America for three days on weekends, respectively. The box office of the second day was higher than that of the first day, which shows that it is the fermentation of good reputation that has made the film's Saturday score higher than Friday, thus creating a box office record for the entire weekend.

In addition to winning the box office championship in the first weekend of May, "Iron Man" also squeezed into several other historical box office lists in one fell swoop.

The film became the 10th-ranked weekend box office of all time, and is also the second-ranked non-sequel comic adaptation, second only to 2002's Spider-Man, and also set the record for the best live-action movie premiere of the distribution company Paramount.

The only thing that made Paramount unsatisfied was that the proportion of male and female audiences in this movie was huge, reaching 71% to 29%, which means that "Iron Man" is still not powerful enough in attracting female audiences.

In other box office markets except for the box office accidents in North America, the total score of "Iron Man" is from 7,500 cinemas in 57 countries, of which the UK contributed $10.3 million, Mexico $9.6 million, South Korea $7.5 million, France $7.1 million, China $7.02 million, West Outlet $6.2 million, and Brazil $6.0 million.

"Guess what email I received? Kevin Feige sent it to me." Luo Sheng stared at his laptop and working computer and clicked on a private email.

"What?"

Qin Weimu, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him curiously.

Luo Sheng stared at the email content on the screen and smiled: "They have started preparing for "Iron Man 2". Kevin wants to invite me to play a guest role in the film and play soy sauce for a few seconds. The plot is arranged, and he will star in real name. He has a few conversations with Tony Stark. In a brief exchange, Blue Star Technology provides Stark Industry with big data center public cloud service support... I think I can agree to play this soy sauce."

Speaking of which, the "Iron Man" released in this life is a little different.

The mobile phone used by Tony Stark in the movie is no longer the lg ku950, but the Azure smartphone with a more industrial and technological sense under the Costa del Azure company. Because in 2006, this smartphone with full tech and appearance was launched. At the end of the same year, "Iron Man" was officially filmed, and the original script was slightly modified for this.

The Costa delle did not advertise, but Marvel changed it itself, because as a science fiction movie, the mobile phones that appear should also have a futuristic sense, and the azure phones should appear in the film as a matter of course.
