"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm right in front of the movie theater, one of the busiest theaters in Los Angeles. Through the lens, you can see that the number of viewers coming in and out is really considerable, which makes people really feel the fact that summer is finally here!"

Endy-Haddock, the location host of Fox TV, stood in front of the camera with a microphone in hand, recording the interview, her face beaming with a big smile and a friendly and enthusiastic gesture that matched the bright and scorching sunshine of Los Angeles.

"For a long time, Saturday has been the peak period for movie-watching, and this summer season opening battle has attracted countless attention, I believe that every audience has their own choices and judgments, and looks forward to seeing more excellent film works. We just interviewed the theater manager, and we learned that as of 3 p.m., the number of moviegoers in a single day in today's theater has set a record this year, and the attendance rate of the movie has exceeded 50%. The summer file really lives up to its reputation!"

At this moment, the noisy scene behind Wendy is reminiscent of the bustle and excitement of the New Year's Eve party, highlighting the powerful power of the summer file, and more and more eyes are focused on this opening battle.

It was an ordeal, a bitter battle, and a disaster for Paramount and the Thor's crew, and they didn't even know how they got into their predicament, but for the journalists, it was a party. Even the TV station couldn't help but get involved, arriving at the scene in person to interview the grand occasion, hoping to be the first to foresee the development trend of this opening battle.

If, just assuming, if "Thor" loses the top spot at the North American weekend box office by losing the box office of "Fast & Thrill 5" the following week, then this is tantamount to igniting a crater, no, it is tantamount to throwing a ton of explosives into the crater. For the news media, it's the New Year's Eve party.

So, let's move on to the opening battle that has captured the attention of the whole of North America. Wendy beckoned to her cameraman, walked over to the audience, and quickly found an interviewee, "Which work are you here to watch?"

"'Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5'. Standing in front of him was a tattooed man who replied simply, and under Wendy's questioning, he explained, "I was originally going to watch 'Thor,' and I saw it in the Super Bowl halftime commercial, but I heard that the movie was boring, so I chose 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional 5'." Tickets for this movie are very popular, I came a little late today, I actually had to queue up, and finally missed the deadline for buying tickets for the three o'clock show, and only bought the one at half past three. ”

"'Thor', of course, 'Thor'. Wendy's second interview subject was a young man who looked like a college student, and his face was full of affirmation, but it attracted Wendy's attention, and brought up the recent preliminary comments about "Thor", but he didn't expect the young man to wave his hand again and again, with a big smile on his face, "No, no, no." I mean, I know about those comments, but I don't care. I'm a big fan of Marvel, and it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it or not. Importantly, I support it unconditionally. ”

In addition, there are two movies that choose to watch, such as the couple in front of them, "Yes, we will watch both movies." Whether it's good or bad, you don't know until you've seen it yourself. What's more, both movies have created too much talk this time, and we also want to see what kind of work it is, anyway, we are dating today, and there is nothing else to do. ”

Later, Wendy interviewed a ticket sales staff who had just left work and asked about the ticket sales of the two movies, and the middle-aged woman in her early thirties gave a surprising answer, "Yes, the ticket sales speed of 'Thor' is now temporarily ahead, and the advantage is very narrow, but it is true." ”

Wendy didn't hide her surprise, "Is this true?"

After witnessing the box office decline on Friday, the mainstream views are now not optimistic about the box office trend of "Thor", especially when the media and audience reputation are at a disadvantage, is it possible that "Thor" wants to get out of the "Transformers 2" box office curve?

"For now, that's true. At present, the pre-sale results of 'Thor' are still leading, but the instant ticket sales of 'Fast & Excitement/Emotion 5' are rising rapidly. The viewing situation of this afternoon and evening is still unknown. The staff member was calm and honest, obviously familiar with such interviews, "Moreover, this is only the situation of our cinema, and the other cinema chains are unknown." ”

Thinking carefully about the content of the interview just now, Wendy couldn't help but nodded, "Thor" and "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" are indeed inseparable, but thanks to the premiere of this week, coupled with the fact that "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" has exploded with a huge energy of 95 million last week, it is indeed "Thor" that has a slight advantage now.

But this is not good news for "Thor", who was originally looking forward to a hearty victory, but now it is in such a hard battle, and it is still facing the box office of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5", the situation is not optimistic. What's more, the current advantage is very weak, the battle situation is still extremely anxious, and it is still unknown whether victory can be achieved.

After saying goodbye to the staff member, Wendy prepares to resume her interview, but catches a tall, muscular figure out of the corner of her eye. The first reaction was just because of the physique, which was a little conspicuous in the surging crowd, but then Wendy squinted her eyes slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the words blurted out, "Chris!"

That's Chris Hemsworth!

Wendy didn't even have time to greet her accompanying photographer, so she rushed straight up, but the crowd in the theater was really too turbulent at this time, and the bustling crowds blocked the way one after another, and Wendy could only watch the figure disappear into the sea of people.

The photographer then followed, asking what was going on, and Wendy stomped her foot in frustration, "I think I saw Chris." ”

"Really?" the photographer didn't believe it, "they are in a period of intensive publicity now, not to mention how the box office of the premiere is, in a short period of time, their publicity density will definitely not decrease, how can they have time to come to the cinema?" Wendy thought about it carefully and found that she couldn't refute it, "You must have read it wrong." ”

Wendy let out a long sigh, "Maybe I'm too eager." ”

Chris Hemsworth only felt a layer of cold sweat oozing from his back, he had already put on a baseball cap, and he was still recognized? Does this mean that his recognition has risen to a new level? Originally, this was a good thing, but he couldn't be happy, and quickly lowered the brim of his hat and walked quickly towards the ticket counter.

The "Thor" crew just finished a live broadcast of a radio program, interviews with two magazines and photos on two websites this morning, and in the evening they will start fan meetings in major cities in North America, and the first stop tonight is to go to Las Vegas. The promotional itinerary was full, and there was no rest time for the next half month, but they had four hours to spare before heading to the airport, which is why he came to the cinema.

Sitting in a hotel or staying in a bar, he is like sitting on pins and needles, and his mind is restless. The boiling news was endless, and he couldn't calm down at all, especially after the box office on Friday, the atmosphere of the entire crew was extremely depressing.

Although the publicity team and the agent team are trying to cheer everyone on, everyone cheers up and pretends that there is still hope, but after it quiets down, the dull atmosphere is still almost breathless, and the bad box office data is like a boulder, weighing heavily on the chest-

Each of them knows that hope is still there, it is a fact, but it is becoming more and more slim, and it is disappearing little by little.

Chris didn't want to admit such a reality, to be precise, the entire crew and Paramount Pictures didn't want to admit such a reality, they were still expecting a miracle, or rather, longing for a miracle.

Chris knows that in front of the media, they still need to show tolerance and confidence. He doesn't care about the negative reviews, but shows that he actively learns and listens to his opinions, and he is worried about the box office trend, but shows a gesture of giving the audience more trust. Only in this way can the box office recover.

However, he still lacked confidence after all. Distraught, distraught, anxious.

One will think of Lan Li's disdainful appearance at the beginning, one will think of Lan Li's appearance of showing off his might, one will think of his original appearance of being so determined, one will think of the appearance of his efforts to fight for Thor, one will think of Lan Li's gray face after he became famous, and one will think of Lan Li's embarrassing appearance when he was still rolling on Broadway before...... All kinds of chaotic thoughts made him feel like he was on pins and needles. So, he appeared at the cinema closest to the hotel.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps, he wants to see with his own eyes whether the crowd of "Thor" is so bad; perhaps, he can listen to the audience's evaluation with his own ears to increase some confidence; perhaps, he should watch "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" to spy on the enemy's situation, and perhaps, he should pretend to communicate directly with the audience to promote "Thor"......

Perhaps, he can buy a ticket in person and contribute to the box office of "Thor" - perhaps, he can book a whole row of seats and contribute more to the box office. But if there are still viewers who want to watch the movie, but because of his behavior, they can't buy tickets, and simply turn to "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5", wouldn't that be counterproductive? Or should he not be so attention-grabbing?

What kind of scene is the cinema, in the description of the media, after all, there is still a lack of realism, and this sense of emptiness also makes them more uncertain about the box office of "Thor". Twenty-three million, this data is indeed not good, but what kind of picture is it reflected in the cinema?

Perhaps, he can gain some confidence...... bar.
