Chapter 52: Praise is unpretentious

Batman, one of the giants of American comics, is another popular comic book character in DC Comics in addition to Superman, with a huge number of fans, accompanied by many people's childhood, youth, and even life.

And unlike Superman from the extraterrestrial, Batman without superpowers is more real and believable, and people are more willing to believe that in the darkness of reality, there is such a hero who is maintaining order in the city.

Therefore, the character of Batman absolutely has an irreplaceable position in people's hearts, and Bruce Wayne is very popular.

The X-Men, a team of mutant heroes, come from Marvel, another giant of American comics, and the X-Men also have a long history and a large audience.

Moreover, compared with the unreleased "Batman", 2000's "X-Men" can be described as rave reviews, and won a global box office of $400 million at a cost of $75 million, which is dazzling enough.

Therefore, for "X-Men 2", which is also directed by Brian Singh and has an investment of up to $120 million, loyal fans of the X-Men can be said to be extremely excited!

Originally, for "Batman" and "X-Men 2" to be released at the same time, fans were just discussing the characteristics of the two films and their expectations for the box office in a relaxed atmosphere.

However, Lin Han's post on "Batman vs. X-Men" instantly provoked the anger of both sides, and even escalated it into a contradiction between the two groups of Marvel Comics fans and DC Comics fans!

"Is it Batman who strikes for the first time, or the X-Men who goes into battle for the second time? It's time to choose your side, DC, or Marvel, it's time to make a decision about your beliefs!! At the end of the post, Lin Han wrote.

Good guys, they have all risen to the level of faith, and people naturally can't stay out of it, so they have participated in it and had a big discussion.

In the discussion, some of the buddies who drank or drank hi were naturally a little unscrupulous, and personally attacked each other, and now, the other party naturally stopped doing it, so the discussion escalated into a scolding war!

Some buddies with good network technology are annoyed, track down each other's addresses, pull a few brothers and go to the door to carry out an upgraded version of the scolding war, in the case of face-to-face, the scolding war naturally escalates into a brawl!

After Galaxy Pictures and Williams Film joined the covert operation, the fire of the confrontation of "Batman vs. X-Men" even burned from North America to Europe, and people have chosen one side to join, Batman, or X-Men, you always have to fight for one side!

When this atmosphere was formed, many people who didn't pay attention to the movie also passively rolled in, what, you don't know Batman and the X-Men? Are you still an earthling? Go and go, play while playing, don't lower your brother's IQ!

At the time of this "Batman vs. X-Men" trend, at 8 p.m. on August 22, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, the premiere of "Batman" was held as scheduled.

Since the movie is so big now, the premiere can't be simple, and a grand red carpet ceremony is a must-have process!

In terms of red carpet hosts, Tim Burton came forward, Lin Han spent a lot of money, and invited Steve Martin, the host of last year's 73rd Academy Awards, and Renee Zellweger, the actress who starred in "BJ's Single Diary", to play a male and female match, and not tired of work!

The whole red carpet process is star-studded, in addition to many Hollywood second- and third-tier stars who come to "rub" the red carpet, famous people in the director industry include Tim Burton, Spielberg, James Cameron, Michael Bay, Nolan, etc., it is simply a collection of Hollywood famous directors!

In terms of actors, "Batman" starring Christian Bale and Liam Neeson, the heroine of "Batman Returns" Natalie Portman, Lin Han's friend Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman, Tom Hanks and other Hollywood stars walked the red carpet one by one, causing the audience to scream again and again, and the cameras in the hands of reporters never stopped, the lights kept shining, and the film was consumed quickly.

Although there are so many big-name stars on the scene, in Hollywood, the biggest name is actually the producer, that is, the person responsible for investing money in the movie, so Lin Han and Anne Hathaway appeared in the finale, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Lin Han was wearing a well-fitting black gentleman's dress, and Anne Hathaway, who was holding his arm, was wearing a red evening dress.

"Oh, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, right now, we are approaching Mr. Williams Lin, the director of "Saw", and our Hollywood sweetheart, Miss Anne Hathaway, oh, by the way, secretly tell you that Mr. Lin is also the producer of "Batman", I will only tell you this secret, oh, not others!"

The host Steve Martin was serious in the front, but he made a funny appearance in the back, which immediately caused the hostess Renee Zellweger next to him to laugh and make the audience next to the red carpet burst into laughter.

Lin Han saw the warm atmosphere of the scene, and couldn't help nodding secretly, it was in vain that he spent a lot of money to invite this guy who had hosted the Academy Awards, and he did have a set of hosts.

If you count the investment in the red carpet and the promotion of the "Batman vs. X-Men" trend, the investment cost of "Batman" may soar to 70 or 80 million US dollars, but these money are not included in the cost.

Smiling all the way to greet the fans, Lin Han walked to the stage in the middle of the red carpet and shook hands with the male host Steve Martin, and Anne Hathaway and the female host Renee Zellweger hugged gently, and then, after the four chatted for a while, Lin Han and Anne Hathaway left their autographs on the stage and continued to walk to the theater.

After entering the theater, facing a group of Hollywood directors and stars, Lin Han naturally had to greet and chat with them one by one, after a circle, Lin Han felt that the muscles on his face were about to stiffen with laughter, in his previous life, he was just a supporting role, and now it seems that the protagonist is also very hard!

In the theater, Lin Han also met Hermione, that is, Emma Watson, who is now only a 12-year-old girl, but has already revealed her beauty.

Seeing Emma Watson, Lin Han subconsciously asked, "Where is Harry Potter?" Lin Han thinks it's a pity for Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, to become more and more weird later, but maybe this is the price of becoming famous at a young age!

"Harry Potter in the movies!" Emma Watson said to Lin Han angrily, and at the same time, trying to stand up her own hills, it is obvious that the girl wants Lin Han to focus on herself, not her companion "Harry Potter" who likes to have a unique hobby on the set (it is said that Daniel will blaspheme himself when acting on the set, I wonder if Hermione is too beautiful?). )!

I have to admit that foreign girls develop relatively early, and Emma Watson's small mountains are already quite large-scale, revealing a girl's unique youthful temptation, but Lin Han just glanced away at a normal glance, after all, his real girlfriend is beside him, and Annie's big mountains are more interesting, isn't it? Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing!

After a few more moments of chatting with the Hollywood stars, the audience and reporters began to enter, and after the hosts Steve Martin and Renee Zellweger walked through the standard procedures for the premiere, the lights began to dim and the movie began to play.

Before everyone's eyes were temporarily unaccustomed to it, Lin Han naughtily kissed Anne's red lips, although the two of them were tired of being together last night and most of today, but for the woman he loved, Lin Han couldn't love enough of it, and he couldn't wait to be one with her!

Anne was "raided" by Lin Han, her heart was sweet, but she glanced at Lin Han on her face, and then remembered that it was so dark that Lin Han couldn't see her own white eyes, her little hand suddenly pinched the soft flesh on Lin Han's waist, and Lin Han suddenly gasped with "cooperation", and Anne was a little proud.

"Batman" mainly tells the story of Batman Bruce Vane, the righteous hero of Gotham City played by Christian Bale, and the story of the clown's battle, interspersed with the love between Brigitte, the cinematographer played by Anne Hathaway, the whole movie is full of dark wind, full of Tim Burton's gothic dark movie style!

When seeing the scene of the hero and heroine kissing, Lin Han felt Anne Hathaway holding her hand slightly tight, and after a little thought, Lin Han understood that she was worried that she would mind making out with other men, although it was just acting.

In response, Lin Han responded with a kiss, and the surrounding Hollywood stars, such as Matt Damon and others, all gave Lin Han a thumbs up, and Lin Han took Anne Hathaway into his arms domineeringly, like a lion declaring his sovereignty.

Anne Hathaway shrank happily and shyly in Lin Han's arms, and did not get up and go back with Lin Han until the movie was over.

As for the latter matters, director Tim Burton and related personnel are naturally in charge, and what Lin Han wants to do now is to do some of the most meaningful things in the world with Anne.

The next day, the Hollywood media made an evaluation report on "Batman" for the first time, and these evaluation comments can only be described in one word, that is: rave reviews!

"Tim Burton is back again, and the unique gothic dark style is still so captivating, and 'Batman' is undoubtedly his proud work!" - "Variety"

"Burton's spooky visual style, which makes even the positive hero Batman have a strong dark background, which makes the film unique among many superhero movies and will surely become a major attraction for audiences to watch in the cinema!" - Los Angeles Times

"Burton used his usual surreal technique to create a dark Gotham City, which made the audience feel the oncoming darkness as if they were about to suffocate, and people couldn't help but really believe that Gotham City is the real Zài, and Batman is also Zài!" - The Hollywood Observer

After reading a bunch of newspaper reports on "Batman", and then looking at the audience's praise, Lin Han felt that he no longer needed to worry about the box office of "Batman".

I have to say that "Batman" chose a very good schedule, September 15, at this time, many of this year's heavyweight movies were released in the summer file, as for others, such as "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Chicago" and other popular movies, they were only released in November and December.

The only opponent of "Batman" in the same period is "X-Men 2", a superhero movie of the same genre, and interestingly, after just attending the premiere of "Batman", on the evening of August 23, Lin Han attended the premiere of "X-Men 2".

After all, Lin Han is already the producer of "X-Men 3: Last Stand", and he must go to the premiere of "X-Men 2", but he will never let people know that the post "Batman v X-Men", which is currently causing an uproar on the Internet, is from his own hands!

Why? Because he is a well-known star, he must be low-key! Well, to be honest, Lin Han was worried that he would be beaten up by fans!
