Chapter 1034: The Decepticons attack

With the Independence Day holiday just around the corner, tightropes are making a pilgrimage to Hasbro's Great Hall to see the best memories of childhood or adolescence appear on the big screen for the first time in a live-action movie.

This is a special commemorative meaning for tightrope, for Hasbro, and even for relativistic entertainment.

Transformers is back in its birthplace!

The Autobots and Decepticons return home.

The Hasbro Auditorium is transformed into Cybertron tonight.

It's a night for Transformers and tightropes.

The 30-foot-tall Transformers stand in front of the Great Hall in the shape of a live-action movie, especially the Optimus Prime standing in the center, the blue and red square shape is almost the same as the image in the cartoon, but it is more like the aesthetic of this era.

Optimus Prime's left hand melt knife and right hand giant oil cannon can be described as majestic, and it seems that he is always on standby to fight to save the earth and humanity.

How can human beings not love such a machine traitor with a grand cosmology, free from low-level tastes, and striving for the equality of all beings?

On the opposite side of Optimus Prime, stands his brother, who is also an old rival Megatron, whose domineering appearance and evil temperament exude from his body, so that the fans of Brother Tian are fascinated and go to the soup to fight the fire!

This couple, love and kill each other until the end of the universe!

The stories that were all the rage from the late 80s to the mid-90s of the last century, the characters who appeared countless times in comic books, cartoons, paste-up paintings, and elementary school stationery, finally followed Relativity Entertainment and the crew of "Transformers", and came back majestically!

Those who walk on the red carpet, even popular stars, know that there is only one protagonist in this premiere, and that is Transformers!

Ronan stood on the steps in front of the auditorium, looking at Optimus Prime and Megatron below, with mixed feelings.

Everyone has their own feelings, and he is no exception, and although he will not let his feelings sway his emotions and make bad decisions, he will still have a lot of impact.

Ronan remembered that when he was in elementary school, he had saved up for more than half a semester to have 2 yuan and 5 cents in the store opposite the school...... No, at that time, it was still called a consignment point, and I bought a Megatron with a strong plastic smell.

It's still the kind that doesn't deform.

As for the large Optimus Prime and Megatron for ten dollars, don't even think about it.

Genuine, there was no such concept at that time.

For rural children born in the early eighties, the "Transformers" cartoon was all the rage, whether it was a large Optimus Prime and Megatron for ten dollars, or a genuine toy, it was an unattainable dream.

"What do you want?" said Jessica Felton.

Ronan turned to look at her and said again, "Honey, you're so beautiful tonight. ”

Although Ronan has been saying this since the hotel changed clothes, Jessica Filton is still happy to hear it again, she gave up the simple women's suit and specially ordered the dress, not just to make her boyfriend happy.

Jessica Filton, dressed in a moon-white evening dress, took her arms around Ronan and asked, "Do you like Optimus Prime or Megatron the most?"

Ronan looked at the Cybertron brothers, who were in love with each other, and said, "At the beginning, I liked Optimus Prime. Later, I liked Megatron instead. ”

"Why?" asked Jessica Felton curiously.

Ronan smiled and said, "Because Optimus Prime can't beat Megatron." In the G1 cartoon, Optimus Prime is invincible every time he defeats Megatron, and Megatron is even more domineering!"

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "It's a pity, Optimus Prime must win in the movie." ”

If nothing else, Optimus Prime's motto "Freedom and Rights to All Beings" and his special identity as a cybertron mole doomed him to be a winner.

After all, this is a movie for humans, not for Cybertron's Transformers.

Therefore, Ronan did not let emotions and personal preferences affect the filming and production of the live-action movie "Transformers".

The two didn't stay in front of the door long and quickly entered the VIP room in the auditorium, where Hasbro's CEO, Brian Goldner, immediately walked over with his wife.

Although Jessica Felton is not good at this kind of occasion, it is not difficult to deal with it, after all, as a producer in recent years, she has dealt with people and the media.

Brian Goldner said to Ronan: "Now it's time to wait and see the market and the box office. ”

Ronan was more confident than him: "There will be no problem. ”

Brian Goldner said with concern: "The first two films to be released on Independence Day both failed. ”

Ronan can understand Brian Goldner, Transformers, Special Forces and Baby Leigh are the three aces of Hasbro, and if the Transformers film adaptation does not go well, it will be a huge blow to Hasbro.

In the past, Hasbro also acquired the company where the copyright of "Peppa Pig" was located, but the copyright of "Peppa Pig" is now in the hands of Relativity Entertainment, and Hasbro will inevitably have more hope for its own ace series in the future.

"Don't worry. Ronan reminded: "Brian, don't forget, 'Transformers' North American first-weekend advance box office alone was $30 million. Also, Relativity Entertainment is not Twentieth Century Fox either. ”

The two films that opened on a large scale in the same schedule had a poor market response.

Although Warner Bros. produced and released "Marriage Pickets" is a remake of a classic movie from the 80s of the last century, the market response of the new work is mediocre, and only $3.21 million on the first day of release in North America is earned.

In contrast, Twentieth Century Fox's "10,000 Years Before History" is even more tragic.

Twentieth Century Fox seems to have decided to steal the limelight from "Transformers" and sacrificed a second Dragon Ball, deliberately making "10,000 Years Before History" be released three days before the weekend.

In the past, the collaboration between Twentieth Century Fox and Roland Emmerich is full of fond memories.

This time, it is destined to leave bitterness.

On the first day of the release of "10,000 Years Before History" in North America, only $6.12 million was received!

The audience's reputation is even worse, and the audience score of the Cinema Score is only "C-", which is tantamount to a huge disaster for commercial blockbusters.

The next day, the box office of "10,000 Years Before History" plummeted, earning only $4.85 million on the second day of release.

While this has to do with weekends and holidays, it's still a frighteningly low price for a new film and its $135 million production cost.

Cinema Score estimates that "10,000 Years Before History" will not exceed $50 million at the North American box office based on first-day audience reviews.

For Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox's second Dragon Ball is already in place, and it is one step closer to summoning a dragon.

The red carpet of the premiere continues, and the main creators of the "Transformers" crew are trying their best to win more attention for the film.

Especially those who have signed a long-term contract with Relativity Entertainment and have been happy to work together.

Black actor Tyrese Gibson pointed to the huge models of Optimus Prime and Megatron and said to media reporters: "I don't mind playing a supporting role and participating in the best movie this summer, what do I have to lose? Now, I, Optimus Prime, Megatron, the three of us are buddies, and we have feelings for filming!"

Michael Bay posed as a first-line commercial director, and said seriously in front of many media: "My expectations for "Transformers" have far exceeded those movies shot in the past, some people say that "Transformers" will bring a visual revolution to the audience, what I want to do is not limited to this, I hope everyone can feel the kind of shock that past movies have never brought you through "Transformers"!"

As time went on, more and more people entered the theater.

The main creative staff of the crew and the invited guests all came to conjure Ronan, and many people heard that this wealthy man in the United States had an official girlfriend, and almost all of them looked at Jessica Felton curiously.

Jessica Felton is honest and admitted, although she knows that some things will inevitably change, but in her heart, she is still the editor and producer who eats on technology and ability.

Candace Swanepour, the heroine of "Transformers", came to Ronan, first greeted Ronan, then looked at Jessica Felton, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Ronan, can you talk alone?"

Ronan was not stupid at all, and said with a smile: "If you have something to say here, it's okay." ”

Candace Swanepel looked disappointed and said, "Forget it, I'll call you another day." ”

With that, she ignored Jessica Filton and walked away.

Ronan turned his head to look at Jessica Felton, who smiled encouragingly at him and took Ronan's hand, which was also a little tighter.

It was not early, the guests entered the main hall one after another, and when the time was gradually approaching eight o'clock in the evening, Michael Bay finally walked into the screening hall with the main creative staff of the crew.

This large theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, was full, and the moment they entered, all the guests and the audience stood up and gave warm applause to the crew.

When the audience walks into the theater, they want to watch a movie that is exciting enough!

The big screen lit up, and the opening credits of Shahai Entertainment, Embassy Pictures, and Hasbro appeared one after another, and then in a manner similar to "Lord of the Rings 1", Cybertron and the source of Tinder were explained in the most concise way.

This was followed by an extremely intense and fiery special effects action scene.

At the US military base in Qatar, an uninvited guest came down at night.

An F-15 fighter jet on routine patrol returned home and landed on the tarmac, but the command system of the US military suffered from unknown energy interference, and the source of interference came from the F-15 fighter.

A large number of combat vehicles and American GIs quickly surrounded it.

Suddenly, the theater sounded with a signature anamorphic sound similar to the G1 cartoon but with a stronger metallic feel.

All the audience opened their mouths in shock, and Transformers achieved the first real transformation on the big screen!

The giant robot that stood up was none other than Megatron.

Then, Megatron gave the order to make all the tightropes instantly superb: Decepticons, strike!
