Disaster Artist

……"Deadpool"?

Wait, "Deadpool"?

Lu Qian was really surprised, very, very surprised.

To be precise, Deadpool is not an ordinary character, but a superhero character. After Liuguang Pictures, Lu Qian's name is once again associated with superhero movies.

However, why do they all think that Lu Qian is suitable for directing superhero movies?

Obviously, Reynolds and Streamer have different ideas——

Shi Wenxun of Liuguang Films believes that Lu Qian's business sense and artistic temperament can be perfectly matched, and finally endow the superhero with a unique tragic color.

But Renault is different. He believes that Lu Qian's cynicism, unpretentiousness, and slanted swordsmanship can collide with the role of Deadpool.

Because Deadpool is the most special of all superheroes.

Deadpool is a typical anti-hero. In a group with many righteous heroes like stars, a madman and a weirdo are precious.

He loves beauties and money, and has no selflessness as a superhero; his mouth is full of swear words, and it is common for him to scold and cry teammates, but his combat effectiveness is outstanding, because he has an immortal body, even if he is chopped into dumplings, he can still be reborn.

The source of his superpower is because he robbed the goddess of death and fell in love with the goddess of death that he should not love. As a result, he was cursed by the gods of death and possessed an immortal body, and he could never see the goddess of death; Shooting himself in the head is an incorrigible romantic.

He is not a big hero who saves the world, but a selfish mercenary. Whoever wants to give money, he is willing to do things. He treats the rules as nothing, does whatever he wants, and is unrestrained. Even passers-by are correct.

It is precisely because of this that Deadpool has become a unique and beautiful landscape in the superhero team, and has gained the pursuit and support of countless fanatical fans.

Also because of this, Deadpool always challenges people's moral bottom line, and for the general public, it is incompetent to accept.

Naturally, it is conceivable that it is not easy for the character of Deadpool to move from comics to the big screen of the movie. It can be called an anomaly among the "Messengers of Justice".

In fact, the "Deadpool" movie project proposal can be traced back as far as sixteen years ago.

At that time, the superhero movie was in the early stage of development, and the whole Lanchuan had no clear idea about the concept and framework of this type of movie. Everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones and holding a large number of original copyrights of Marvel and detective comics. Trying to cash out the copyright in his hands, but suffering from nowhere.

Artisan Films, which once had a presence in Lanchuan, is preparing to collaborate with Marvel Comics on fifteen superhero films, including Deadpool.

However, the competition in the Lanchuan film industry is extremely fierce. The Artisan Film Company declared bankruptcy before it could implement these plans. After a series of company acquisitions and copyright changes, the shooting plan for a series of superhero films was not officially considered until four years later. confirm.

"Deadpool", the official project.

At that time, Xinxian Films was the one that acquired Artisan Films, which was also the seventh largest film company in Lanchuan before the rise of Damen Films. They showed great importance to the superhero film series and found a series of top directors. Start planning with the producer.

From the alternate director to the alternate producer, the young and handsome Raynor is the best person to play Deadpool.

Reno also said that he likes this role very, very much, and has a very strong willingness to play this anti-hero character, and has a positive attitude towards cooperation.

However, the project is approved, but the progress is seriously lagging behind.

reason?

because of copyright.

Deadpool is a character under Marvel Comics, but his debut was as a member of the "mutant team", and he didn't have his own single comic until later.

Marvel Comics has sold the adaptation rights of the "Mutant Squad" series to Lions Pictures, and later Lions Pictures also shot a series of "Mutant Squad" works, including spin-off series.

Regarding copyright assignment, here is a little background knowledge:

In the comics industry, there are countless companies big and small, but two of them stand at the top of the pyramid, Detective Comics and Marvel Comics.

On the whole, the market share of detective comics is far ahead, exceeding 50% all the year round; while Marvel comics stands out in the fierce competition, the market share cannot be compared with detective comics, but with a market share of about 30%, prison Hold on to the second spot.

As early as 40 years ago, Liuguang Pictures put its idea on the adaptation of comics, so it acquired the adaptation copyrights of all the characters of Detective Comics, and it was a big one.

Over the years, Streamer Films has successively released a number of superhero movies, some good and some bad, and the overall market box office performance is not bad.

However, due to poor management, Marvel Comics had no choice but to separate and sell the adaptation copyrights of its characters, which are in the hands of many different buyers.

Exactly six years ago, Fantastic Pictures acquired Marvel Comics and won the adaptation rights of most of the main characters, but there are still a lot of characters left.

No one would have imagined that Magic Films came from behind and developed the entire superhero universe. Instead, it easily surpassed Streamer Films in terms of market share and completely changed the entire market structure, resulting in superhero movies becoming the mainstream of the market. in a chasing position.

The topic, back to Lions Pictures.

Lion Pictures also bought the adaptation copyright of the "Mutant Team" series by mistake, and now the superhero movie market is fully emerging~www.novelmt.com~ Lion Pictures is naturally even more unlikely to let go of its mouth. This piece of meat on the side, otherwise, they may become the tears of the times in the fierce competition.

Therefore, Lions Pictures and New Line Pictures competed and refused to give up easily, and the "Deadpool" project was delayed and fell into a stalemate.

A year later, Lions Pictures won and collected the copyrights of all the characters of the mutant team, and the projects prepared by New Line Pictures naturally went to waste.

Therefore, the decision on whether to shoot Deadpool movies or not will come to Lions Pictures.

Reno never gave up. When he learned that Lions Pictures was also interested in Deadpool, he immediately went to the door in person and had a conversation with the executives of Lions Pictures. He also successfully persuaded the management, and the "Deadpool" movie came back again. As planned, however, the first to launch is not a personal movie, but the first appearance in the "mutant team" series of movies.

Reynolds didn't mind, not only didn't mind, but was ecstatic, because the role he had been thinking about was finally able to appear on the big screen five years after the project was established.

At this time, Renault was still too young and naive, and he never thought that this was just the beginning of the tragic fate of "Dead Servant", or another turning point in his ill fate:

When he saw the script of "The Mutant Team Gaiden", he was shocked.
