तो गाइ आज हम कॉमिक बुक मूवी के गोल्डन एज

में हैं जहां पे हर फैन का सपना सच हो रहा

है साल 2001 से 2010 तक की बात की जाए तो

हमें हर साल एक मूवी मिलती थी कॉमिक बुक

कैरेक्टर्स की पर अब बात कुछ और है अब हर

साल चार से पांच कॉमिक बुक मूवीज रिलीज हो

जाती हैं जिसमें एक कोलैबोरेशन भी दिख

जाता है सबसे बड़ी बात यह है कि इन मूवीज

को बनाने वाले स्टूडियोज अकेली मूवी बनाने

के बजाय एक सिनेमेट यूनिवर्स फॉर्म कर रहे

हैं इन सिनेमेट यूनिवर्स को देखकर हमें

कॉमिक बुक वाली फील आती है जब हम देखते

हैं चार से पांच सुपर हीरोज का कोलैबोरेशन

पर लोग इस बात से कंफ्यूज भी रहते हैं कि

कॉमिक्स में बलबन भी था अवेंजर्स में तो

अब क्यों नहीं स्पाइडरमैन एक्समन के साथ

भी आ चुका है तो अब क्यों नहीं सिविल वॉर

में एक्समन भी पार्ट लेते हैं तो अब क्यों

नहीं द थिंग की हल्क से लड़ाई होती है

कॉमिक्स में तो अब क्यों नहीं इन सबका एक

ही जवाब है कैरेक्टर मूवी राइट्स तो गाइज

मैं हूं अमन सिन्हा और आज हम बात करेंगे

कि मार्वल के कैरेक्टर के राइट्स किस-किस

स्टूडियो के पास है चलिए शुरू करते हैं

1988 में मावल ने अपने ने कई कैरेक्टर्स

के राइट्स बेच दिए थे अलग-अलग स्टूडियोज

को मार्वल ने सबसे पहला राइट बेचा था

ब्लेड का न्यू लाइन सिनेमास को उसी के ठीक

बाद 20th सेंचुरी फॉक्स को मिल गए एक्समन

के राइट्स और सोनी को मिल गया स्पाइडरमैन

के राइट्स 2004 में मावल को अपनी गलती समझ

में आ गई जब उसको मिलियन और बिलियन डॉलर

कमाने वाले स्टूडियो से एक छोटा सा हिस्सा

मिलने लगा तब मार्वल ने पैसे बचाने शुरू

किए और अपनी खुद की फिल्म प्रोड्यूस करने

का सोचा ताकि वो अपना खुद का सिनेमेट

यूनिवर्स बना सके और अपने कैरेक्टर के

राइट्स वापस ले सके तो अब हमारे पास तीन

स्टूडियोज थे जो अलग-अलग मार्बल मूवीज बना

रहे थे तो उस वक्त फैंस का कंफ्यूज होना

बनता था क्योंकि हमें नहीं पता था कि किस

कैरेक्टर के राइट्स किस स्टूडियो के पास

है इसी कंफ्यूजन को सबसे पहले दूर किया द

tn.com वालों ने जब उन्होंने ये विजुअल

गाइड रिलीज किया सबको लगता था कि 20th

सेंचुरी फॉक्स के पास कुछ ही राइट्स होंगे

पर जब ध्यान से देखा गया तब पता चला कि 20

सेंचुरी फॉक्स के पास बड़े और जानेमाने

कैरेक्टर्स के राइट्स थे सबसे पहले बात

करते हैं यूनिवर्सल की यूनिवर्सल के पास

हल्क के राइट्स थे जिसकी वजह से 2003 की

हल्क मूवी हमें देखने को मिली यह हल्क

मासूम दिखता था यूनिवर्सल के कांटेक्ट में

लिखा था कि कि वो हल्क के राइट्स खो देंगे

अगर वो हर न साल में एक हल्क मूवी नहीं

निकाल पाए तो और ऐसा ही हुआ मारल स्टूडियो

को हल्क के राइट्स वापस मिल गए और

उन्होंने 2008 में अपने सिनेमेट यूनिवर्स

के फेस वन की पहली मूवी निकाली द

इंक्रेडिबल हल्क सबको लगा कि द इंक्रेडिबल

हल्क 2003 के हल्क की सेकंड पार्ट है जबकि

असली में वो नहीं थी अब बात करते हैं 20th

सेंचुरी फॉक्स की मार्वल और फॉक्स के

कांट्रैक्ट का बेसिक थम रूल ये था कि अगर

कैरेक्टर म्यूट है तो उसके राइट्स फॉक्स

के पास जाएंगे सही खेल गए फॉक्स वाले तो

फॉक्स के पास सबसे बड़ा ग्रुप है एक्स

ऊपर से उनके पास फैंटास्टिक फोर्स और एक्स

फोर्स भी है जिसका मतलब डॉक्टर डूम

गैलेक्टस सिल्वर सर्फर डेडपूल और केबल सब

20 सेंचुरी फॉक्स की झोली में है तो फायदा

क्या हुआ 20 सेंचुरी फॉक्स के पास सबसे

जानेमाने ग्रुप है उनके पास मार्वल के

बड़े-बड़े विलन है जैसे कि मैग्नेटो

अपोकेलिप्स मिस्टर सिनिस्टर डॉक्टर डूम

गैलेक्टस सेंटिनल्स और कई सारे ऊपर से

उनके पास आधे आधे यानी शेयर्ड राइट्स हैं

स्कारलेट विच और क्विक सिल्वर और द स्कल्स

और द क्री के तो अब नुकसान क्या है

क्योंकि फॉक्स के पास बहुत बड़े

कैरेक्टर्स हैं इसलिए वो अपनी मूवी पे ठीक

से फोकस नहीं कर पा रहे हैं ये स्टूडियो

अपना सिनेमेट यूनिवर्स बनाना तो चाहता है

पर कंटिन्यूटी नहीं बिठा पा रहा ऊपर से

कंफ्यूजन और बढ़ जाती है जब बड़े

कैरेक्टर्स मर जाते हैं फॉर एग्जांपल

कॉमिक्स में साइक्लोप्स लीडर होता है

एक्समन ग्रुप का पर मूवीज में साइक्लोप्स

का रोल बहुत ही छोटा है साथ ही साथ x3 में

उसको मार ही देते हैं अब बात करते हैं

के पास मार्वल के सबसे चहते सुपर हीरो के

राइट्स हैं जो कि है स्पाइडरमैन और सोनी

इस कैरेक्टर के साथ सक्सेसफुल भी रहा है

स्पाइडरमैन की पहली तीन मूवीज spider-man

टू

2015 में सनी ने मार्वल स्टूडियो के साथ

डील की जिसमें स्पाइडरमैन पार्ट बना

मार्वल सिनेमेट यूनिवर्स का पर इससे

राइट्स पे कोई असर नहीं पड़ा मार्वल

स्टूडियो स्पाइडरमैन को मार्वल सिमेटिक

यूनिवर्स की मूवीज में दिखाएगा जिसका

प्रॉफिट सनी को मिलेगा और अगर स्पाइडरमैन

की स्टैंड अलोन मूवी बनाई जाएगी तो उसका

पूरा कंट्रोल सनी के हाथ होगा ये बहुत ही

बड़ी डील है और आज तक ऐसा कहीं नहीं देखा

गया तो थैंक्स अ लॉट सनी अब बात करते हैं

मार्वल स्टूडियोज की मार्वल को जल्दी ही

समझ आया कि उन्होंने क्या गलती करी पर अगर

वैसे भी देखा जाए तो मार्वल को कोई नुकसान

कभी नहीं हुआ था एक्समन मूवीज ने 2 बिलियन

कमाए जिसमें मावल को 26 मिलियन मिला बिना

किसी रिस्क के फिर भी मावल ने यह रिस्क

उठाया और प्लान किया अपना सिनेमैटिक

यूनिवर्स जिसके रिजल्ट्स में एवेंजर्स और

आयरन मैन 3 ने मिलके कमाए $ बिलियन डलर

2009 में डिजनी ने मावल को खरीद लिया और

मावल को अपनी चलाने दी इससे दोनों कंपनीज

को फायदा हुआ मार्वल को डिजनी की

क्रिएटिविटी और ताकत मिली और डिजनी को एक

साल में बिलियंस ऑफ डॉलर्स तो फायदा क्या

हुआ मार्वल सिनेमिक यूनिवर्स के आईडिया से

ही मावल की मूवी धमाकेदार हो जाती है चाहे

कुछ मूवी के स्क्रिप्ट स्ट्रांग ना हो फिर

भी वो दूसरे स्टूडियो की मूवी से आगे ही

हैं मार्ल स्टूडियो की फ्यूचरिस्टिक

प्लानिंग और डिटेल्स की वजह से ये सिनेमेट

यूनिवर्स सबका फेवरेट हुआ तो नुकसान क्या

है सबसे बड़ी दिक्कत मार्वल स्टूडियो की

मूवी के साथ ये है कि उनके विलन स्ट्रांग

नहीं है सच बात तो यह है कि उनके पास विलन

ही नहीं है इसकी वजह से उन्हें तीन मूवीज

में लोकी को फीचर करना पड़ा आगे चलकर हमें

अवेंजर्स इंफिनिटी वॉर में थनोस दिखेगा पर

तब भी दो बड़े चेहरे गायब होंगे जो कि है

गैलेक्टस और सिल्वर सर्फर तो अगर मार्वल

स्टूडियो 20 सेंचुरी फॉक्स के साथ वैसी ही

डील कर ले जैसी सोनी के साथ करी है तो

मार्वल सिनेमैटिक यूनिवर्स और भी धमाकेदार

हो जाएगा तो इन मामलों में वार्नर ब्रो

सही खेल गया उनके पास टीवी गेम्स मूवीज से

लेकर सारे राइट्स है डीसी कॉमिक्स के और

तब भी वो अब निकाल डीसी एक्सटेंड यूनिवर्स

तो गाइ हमने अपने पिछले हफ्ते की वीडियो

में आपसे एक क्वेश्चन पूछा था जिसका सबसे

पहले आंसर देने वाले लोग हैं प्रवीण कुमार
