Several test screenings were well received, the trailer won a lot of praise, and Sony Columbia Pictures was full of confidence in "Spider-Man", and the North American premiere was held at the famous Lincoln Center in New York, where countless well-known figures in the circle were invited to premiere.

It's as if the movie has not yet been released, and it has already been successful.

There are also many people who come spontaneously, and Spider-Man has attracted too many fans since its birth.

This is the real No. 1 superhero under Marvel Comics, and like Batman and Superman, he is also a legendary comic book hero for a long time, and too many people have gone on to become die-hard fans of Spider-Man.

Of course Ronan is not, this time he came to the premiere, the main thing is because of Marvel.

Another reason is that the famous James Cameron is an avid Spider-Man fan and will inevitably come to the premiere.

At present, in addition to Marvel itself, the one that holds the most Marvel Comics superhero copyrights is Twentieth Century Fox and Ronan's Sand Sea Entertainment.

To be precise, the former has more characters who have copyrights, after all, it has almost hollowed out the character copyrights of "X-Men".

The premiere was full of spiders, and there were countless people in Peter Parker's red and blue uniform.

Ronan took a general look and entered the VIP reception room of the theater, and even in the theater, he could still hear the fanatical shouts of the fans.

It can only be said that Spider-Man's influence is too great, and it is not comparable to a second-tier hero like Iron Man.

In order to promote this film, Sony Columbia Pictures not only invested a lot of money, but also thought of a lot of special methods.

For example, the theft of costumes specially designed and produced by Sony Entertainment Studios for Spider-Man was the hot entertainment news in 2001, and although Columbia Pictures had enough spare materials to delay the filming of the film, they still offered a high reward of $50,000 per costume, which attracted countless eyeballs.

Even large Hollywood companies are quite capable of fighting for the sake of publicity.

In today's era, if you don't want to have a special way of publicity, it is really difficult to have eye-catching news.

Throwing something and offering a bounty seemed like a good idea, and even Ronan felt like he had learned a hand.

In the VIP room, Ronan once again saw Peter Parker's hateful face on the poster, Toby McGuire was born with a sad look, and then thought about the Spider-Man who jumped out later, I can only say that movies are really deeply affected by the social environment.

In this day and age, if a chatter and a jumping version of the little spider comes out, I don't know if it will hit the street?

Seems likely.

Ronan looked at the characters on the poster one by one, and the main actors were basically the ones in his memory.

Playing the little green goblin is the memory of the Rice Rabbits who are lustful for death, Mary Jane or Kirsten Dunst, this one has high cheekbones and is a bit scary, but the shocking kiss with Tobey Maguire has a profound impact.

Aunt Mei is old-fashioned, not the sexy and beautiful version.

and Marvel's No. 1 Uncle Ben......

With great power comes great responsibility, which is in line with the needs of today's society, and what the United States needs today is also responsible heroes.

"Hi Ronan. ”

There was a voice to say hello, and Ronan turned his head to look, only to see that Avi Arad, the current head of Marvel Comics, had already walked over.

"Hi Avi. Ronan greeted him with the same politeness.

Avi Arad came to Ronan's side and said, "After "X-Men", "Spider-Man" is finally going to be released. ”

Ronan nodded lightly: "I like Spider-Man very much, but unfortunately the copyright has long been in the hands of Sony Columbia." ”

"It's still that Marvel is not good enough, so that its children can only wander outside. Avi Arad sighed helplessly, and then asked: "When will the copyrights that Shahai Entertainment get into the hands of the movie?"

There is no need to lie about this kind of thing, Ronan said directly: "I plan to start planning in two to three years. He saw that Avi Arad seemed to have an opinion, and preemptively said: "If you want to achieve the setting and effect in the comics, the movie must be a high investment, and my funds are a little tight at the moment, so I can't invest tens of millions of dollars to make a bad movie, right?"

Avi Arad swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Ronan added: "If these superheroes are made into bad movies, I am also sorry for Marvel's trust." ”

Avi Arad is really speechless, can you say that you can rest assured and bold to shoot, we don't care? He can be regarded as discovering why the Robert Lee who has been in contact with him is so difficult, and the boss he has been with is a difficult person.

"I hope you can inform Marvel after you have made a shooting plan. Avi-Arad was a little helpless, and the child who sold it couldn't reach out: "Marvel will do its best to help you." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "We have made a plan and will send you an official notice." He glanced at Avi Aradd: "We will work together for a long time in the future." ”

Avi Arad thought Ronan was talking about the movie adaptations of those dozens of superheroes, and he had no objection to that.

Ronan exchanged a few more polite words with Avi-Arad and went somewhere else.

In the past two years, his attention to the entire Marvel Comics has not decreased at all, Marvel Comics is still not having a good time, the comic industry has not been very prosperous, although Marvel is relying on the comic business to expand to the periphery, but it is only barely maintaining.

If it weren't for the huge increase in sales of related comics after the release of "X-Men", Marvel's situation might have been even worse.

Ronan saw Chris and went over to talk to him.

"The success of this Spider-Man is not a problem. Ronan asked directly: "Columbia Pictures plans to make a few films." ”

Chris is very direct: "As long as it can be successful, of course, it will continue to be filmed." ”

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I also have some Marvel superhero movie rights in my hands, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we can work together." ”

Chris smiled: "I don't forget if I say this." ”

He thought that Ronan wanted to come over to rub the popularity of "Spider-Man" and use "Spider-Man" to bring those second-tier superheroes to Hot Shahai Entertainment.

Based on his personal position, Chris is not averse to cooperating with Ronan, but the company can't pass that hurdle at all.

Now that "Spider-Man" has a bright future, Sony Columbia Pictures will not easily let others share the dividends.

Ronan stopped and did not continue to discuss the topic, and after seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and James Cameron chatting together, he took the initiative to find him.

"Hi Leo. Ronan took the initiative to greet Leonardo: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Leonardo nodded to Ronan and said, "I've been friends with Toby for many years, and of course he has to attend his premiere. ”

Ronan knows that Leonardo and Toby Maguire are good friends, and Toby Maguire can enter the audition range of Sony Colombia because of Leonardo's introduction.

It's no exaggeration to say that without Leonardo's matchmaking, Tobey Maguire wouldn't have been able to get the role of Peter Parker.

The importance of networking in this circle can be seen.

Ronan then looked next to Leonardo and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Cameron, I'm Ronan Anderson of Relativity Entertainment." ”

James Cameron shook Ronan's hand and said, "Mr. Anderson, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Ronan was meeting James Cameron himself for the first time, and James Cameron then introduced him to a woman next to him, who was Susan Amis, James Cameron's fifth wife.

The same style as the previous ones.,Belongs to the typical big skeleton woman.。

Of course, compared to Kathryn Bigelow, Susan Amis has a somewhat weak feeling.

Kathryn Bigelow: A stronger and burlier being than the average man.

It can only be said that James Cameron is worthy of being a truck driver, driving all truck types.

"Director Cameron, since Titanic, there has been no news of your new movie, and I don't mean documentary. Ronan deliberately asked: "I've been your fan since "Terminator", and I don't know when I'll see your new film. ”

This is Ronan's rare truth, in his previous life, his perception of Hollywood movies began when he saw the tape of "Terminator 2" in his early tens.

Due to the piracy, the tape only had the first half, not the second half, and it was not until a few years later that I saved up all the money to buy the second half.

"I'm experimenting with some new techniques. James Cameron politely replied, "I'm not going to work on new film projects until the new technology meets my needs." ”

Despite knowing what James Cameron was talking about as a new technology, Ronan asked, "Can you know what the new technology is?"

James Cameron said directly: "Improving film 3D technology. ”

Ronan nodded lightly and said, "I hope you can finish it soon." ”

"Thank you. James Cameron said with a smile.

Ronan didn't continue to ask about the new movie, today is the first time I know James Cameron, and I can't help but talk too much.

There will be time and an opportunity to contact James Cameron again.

The topic naturally turned to this "Spider-Man" movie, James Cameron is one of the famous Spider-Man die-hard fans, and he almost adapted the "Spider-Man" movie in the nineties, and this "Spider-Man" has borrowed the settings in James Cameron's original script in many places, such as the spider silk launcher has become a direct launch from the human wrist and so on.

Even some of the heavy and gray themes of the film actually come from James Cameron's setting.

It can be said that James Cameron's script in the nineties had a profound influence on this "Spider-Man" trilogy.

After chatting with Spider-Man for a while, the people in the VIP room walked towards the theater one after another, and before Ronan left, he specially exchanged personal contact information with James Cameron, so that he could contact James Cameron later.
