Chapter 1124: Captain Hydra

Los Angeles, Walk of Fame, a movie premiere is being held at the Oriental Theater in Hollywood.

The scene was crowded, with a number of Twentieth Century Fox executives present, and director and producer James Wong was the focus of many media attention.

It's the premiere of Dragon Ball!

After the routine interview, James Huang saw Wen Ziren and went over to chat a few words.

"I heard there's a premiere there's also going on in New York?" asked Wong.

Wen Ziren said softly: "Yes, the premiere of "Captain America" was held in Steve Rogers' hometown of Brooklyn. ”

James Wong looked back at the huge poster of Dragon Ball and said, "I didn't expect that one day I would run into a movie from Relativity Entertainment." ”

Wen Ziren couldn't help laughing: "Lao Huang, don't think about it, Relativity Entertainment has never treated you as a competitor." ”

James Huang was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, with the momentum of Marvel superheroes, the real opponent is probably only the DC Comics movie." ”

As one of the protagonists of tonight's premiere, James Wong had a lot of affairs and quickly said goodbye and left.

is also a Chinese director, and it is not only Wen Ziren who came to cheer, but also Justin Lin, the director of the "Fast and Furious" series.

The latter came to Wen Ziren and said, "You didn't go to New York?"

Wen Ziren shook his head: "There is no shortage of people over there, some are guests, we are all Chinese, of course we have to support Lao Huang." ”

"I heard a message. Justin Lin lowered his voice and said: "The test screening of this "Dragon Ball" has not received a particularly good response, and Lao Huang may be in trouble. ”

Wen Ziren frowned: "I also heard that it seems that Lao Huang has not had a good fortune since he left Relativity Entertainment." ”

Justin Lin nodded slowly: "Yes, Lao Huang was originally picked up by Ronan, and without Ronan's check, it feels like he has lost his soul." ”

Wen Ziren has not watched the movie, and from his true thoughts, he said: "I hope this "Dragon Ball" will not be bad." ”

Justin Lin sighed lightly, "I hope so. ”

The two entered the theater hall one after another, and also saw James Murdoch, and the other party came over to greet for a while, Wen Ziren and Justin Lin only coped with a few words, and did not take on any topics such as future cooperation.

They're not stupid, Twentieth Century Fox doesn't get along with Relativity Entertainment, and recently clashed over the acquisition of Lucasfilm.

Justin Lin is okay to say that he just signed a director's contract with Relativity Entertainment.

Wen Ziren himself is an executive of Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, and belongs to Relativity Entertainment.

From the perspective of his own interests, Wen Ziren had a faint idea that if "Dragon Ball" failed, it would be more beneficial to Relativity Entertainment......

Brooklyn, New York.

"Captain America", one of the most watched films of this holiday season, premiered at the Rosatotheater in Brooklyn, New York.

Outside the granite-clad theater, a huge Steve Rogers poster hangs, and a bright red carpet is filled with journalists and fans, and thousands of people have gathered.

Among the fans, there are a large number of Captain America, wearing A-line helmets and holding five-star round shields.

However, the most conspicuous of them all is a group of female Captain America, who wear uniform star-striped uniforms, hold small round shields with elaborate designs, and tight-fitting clothing designs to show off their sexy figures.

These special Captain America, specially arranged by the filmmaker, murdered countless films the moment they appeared.

The red carpet is still going on, and many actors or directors of the series have appeared on the red carpet with the word "Avengers" written on it, and several members of the Roaring Commando Team have walked the red carpet as a group, although these actors are not famous, but they also enjoy the screams and applause of the fans.

It was a premiere full of leitmotif, and all the vehicles that picked up the actors were painted with the American flag and the captain's round shield logo.

"Captain America" is a standard American main theme movie, all the plots are in the service of this theme, in addition to showing Steve Rogers' strong will and belief and flexible mind, even the scene that becomes Captain America selling national debt seems incomparably Americanized and incomparably mainstream.

To fight the Hydra organization, Captain America formed the Roaring Commandos, which are definitely a typical international column with soldiers of all colors.

It's also very Hollywood, very leitmotif.

Maybe one day, he will become Captain Hydra, but definitely not today!

Today, the film highlights Captain America and the spirit he represents, and everything else serves this leitmotif.

Whether it is the beginning of the film, or the interruption, and even the later ending, the captain is brave, kind, loyal, selfless, with all the good qualities imaginable, he charges forward on the battlefield of World War II, fights for the beauty and freedom of this world, and fights for the beliefs he holds onto.

He has a sincere and kind heart, indomitable persistence, an ordinary person, constantly giving, constantly working hard, and at the same time insisting on being himself.

These are enough to impress the audience.

In the end, a simple sensationalism, a dance, a date, the captain rushed headlong into the ice field in a plane loaded with a destruction bomb.

Everyone knows that this is destined to be a date that a fierce man and woman can't complete.

is a very simple emotional drama, but it is more impressive and touching than the bloody love triangle in some war movies.

When they met again, one was already dying, and the other was coveting her niece......

Then, in the twenty-first century, Steve Rogers wakes up, discovers a series of botched cover-ups, and rushes to Times Square, where armed men in black uniforms swarm and the swarthy Egg Man walks in front of him.

"We wanted you to get used to it. He patted his arm vigorously, "Welcome back, Captain!"

The rest is the long-awaited "Avengers" easter eggs.

In order to attract attention, the easter eggs released footage of Iron Man vs. Thor, Captain America joining the three-man war, and the Avengers officially assembled in New York.

In the passionate BGM, seeing the assembled six-person group, countless fans were excited and enthusiastic.

Uwe Bauer, who was sitting in the guest seat, was especially excited - group farming!

It is said that after the Christmas holiday, Relativity Entertainment will hold a preview screening of "The Avengers" internally, and now that MT and all the powerful DPS are in place, I don't know which one to brush, why don't you go and see it then?

Brother Bao made up his mind that he must go to see the internal test screening of "The Avengers" at that time.

After the premiere, "Captain America" landed in North America across the board, and the high-density publicity, coupled with the popularity that Steve Rogers has accumulated over the years, as well as the easter eggs of "The Avengers", attracted a large number of audiences into the theater.

Because it is a movie about the birth of Captain America, even if the director is replaced by the Russo brothers, this "Captain America" is not very brilliant because of World War II as the background.

But the quality of the film is undoubtedly above the passing line.

That's enough for the Marvel's Avengers superhero series, which is already in vogue.

The biggest role of "Captain America" is to make people look forward to "The Avengers" that will start in May next year.

Relativity Entertainment is also using the media and the Internet to hype the importance of "Captain America" to the Avengers series.

"As a team leader and a team leader, there is no doubt that the captain is indispensable. The experienced captain on the battlefield knows how to command the battle and let the other heroes do their part to maximize their abilities, he is the core of the team, and in the scene of the Easter Avengers gathering in the movie, he is an excellent leader, resolute and thoughtful. ”

Steve Rogers has never compromised with reality...... Well, except for Bucky.

If this were a superhero movie on its own, it wouldn't be particularly good if it didn't hit the box office.

But Marvel's big law has gradually been achieved, and "Captain America" has many effect bonuses, just like many Marvel movies about the origin of superheroes, which cannot be measured by a single movie at all.

In particular, this is the last Marvel superhero movie before the release of the high-profile "The Avengers".

On its first day of release in North America, "Captain America" stood out among the many films that premiered this week, earning $27.88 million in 4,122 theaters and topping the single-day box office on Friday.

In contrast, "Dragon Ball" suffered another first-tier commercial blockbuster for Twentieth Century Fox, with only $4.15 million in its North American premiere.

This big production, which cost more than $100 million, not only hit the box office, but also hit quite badly.

Warner Bros.'s "Yes Man" also had a pretty average first-day box office performance, with only $6.49 million coming in.

Walt Disney's "Bedtime Story" was a little better, earning $10.57 million on its first day in North America, ranking second at the box office.

There is no doubt that in this Christmas season, Relativity Entertainment has once again become a big winner, and after Twentieth Century Fox's "Dragon Ball" hit the streets, it once again faced the problem of recovering funds, which further tightened the already tight liquidity chain.

"Dragon Ball" hit the streets so hard at the box office that it had a huge impact on the whole of Hollywood.

Hollywood has been eyeing Japanese comics for a long time, and the failure of several film adaptations has made many film companies worried, but in recent years, comic book adaptations have become popular in North America, with box office sales and hot profits.

However, the comic theme in North America is basically divided, and it is too difficult for latecomers to get a piece of the pie, so many people's eyes are on the Japanese comic market on the other side of the Pacific.

"Dragon Ball" proved to Hollywood with an extremely painful lesson that the adaptation of American comic movies and the adaptation of Japanese comic movies are completely different things, and it is much more difficult for Japanese comic film adaptations to succeed in the North American market than American comic adaptations.

Hollywood has generally called for the suspension of the Japanese manga film adaptation project.
