Due to the overwhelming word-of-mouth of the test screening, both the general audience and the media and film critics have praised "Deadpool", and in some regional distributions, Twentieth Century Fox has adopted a strategy of exclusive screening. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the name suggests, exclusive screening is a strategy that allows only one film to show "Deadpool" and no other films in some theaters agreed between Twentieth Century Fox and the theater chain, and this strategy is aimed at "Hellboy" and "Catwoman" two of "Deadpool's" rivals.
"Exclusive screening" has existed for a long time and is controversial in American theaters, and it is a consensus reached between theaters and distributors, giving individual theaters exclusive broadcasting rights to new films in a specific region, preventing other competitors in the same region from showing the same film at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of dominating one side.
For filmmakers, "exclusive screening" can reduce unnecessary waste or dilute the audience.
This is the usual method used by the six major Hollywood companies, and it is also a strategy for them to control the theater side, and now that almost all the super-selling films are distributed by the six major companies or subsidiaries of the six major companies, this strategy alone makes it difficult for small companies to get ahead.
Hollywood has its own rules of the game, and Murphy is not yet qualified to have a real say in the actual distribution.
After the crew and guests who participated in the premiere entered the theater one after another, the ordinary audience who were relatively far behind the seats gradually entered, and the fans who could come to participate in the premiere of the film were either fans of Deadpool or supporters of one of the main creative staff of the crew, and their costumes dyed the hall that can accommodate more than 2,200 people almost red.
And it's Deadpool's red.
"Don't mess around, everyone!"
At the entrance, a girl takes off her Deadpool hood, revealing her long blond hair and delicate face, and shouts at the back, "Don't mess around! I've been in touch with the organisers and they've set aside two large rows of seats for us. ”
"Daisy!" One of the people in the back pile of Deadpool gave a thumbs up, "You're so capable!" ”
As he said that, he wanted to arch forward, but Daisy hurriedly shouted, "Don't move, come in turn!" ”
This entrance is specially open to organized fans, and it is a preferential treatment that she only got after contacting the CAA several times.
"Everybody is a little orderly!" Daisy was still reminding loudly, "This is the first group activity for our discussion group, don't mess it up!" ”
As the leader of the discussion group of the Murphy Stanton page on IMDB, Daisy still has a certain appeal, and the nearly fifty people who came together did not arch like the previous Deadpool, but walked into the theater in a more orderly manner, found the seats that had been contacted before, and sat in the front and back rows relatively close.
"These people seem to be fan organizations."
Seeing the people in the first two rows sitting down one after another, Martin Smith said curiously, "Anderson, whose supporters do you think they are?" ”
"It's definitely Robert Downey Jr." Anderson Williams pointed to the red clothes those men were wearing and said, "Don't you see that they are all wearing Deadpool's clothes?" ”
"Everyone shouts ...... with me"
Suddenly, a crisp female voice came, because of the entrance relationship, there was some chaos in the theater, all kinds of voices were buzzing, but the girl's voice was clear, "Murphy is the best!" ”
"Murphy is the best!"
There was a uniform sound over there, and immediately a staff member of the order came over......
"So they're Murphy Stanton supporters."
Martin Smith and Anderson Williams suddenly realized that they really didn't expect that the young director would have so many avid fans.
There were more people around pouring in, like the two of them who weren't many in civilian clothes, most of them were more or less carrying a signature item or two from Deadpool.
"Twentieth Century Fox's propaganda has been very successful." Anderson Williams studied marketing at Anderson Williams University, "The film hasn't been shown yet, and the merchandise has sold so much." ”
Martin Smith looked around and nodded hurriedly, "Deadpool's outfit has become the standard for watching movies here." ”
Just like the two of them said, before the release of the film, Twentieth Century Fox cooperated with a number of manufacturers to launch a series of Deadpool peripheral products, especially costumes and cosplayable peripheral products such as double knives, and the sales were so good that it was simply staggering.
As the time passed, as the seats in the back gradually filled up, under the reminder of the staff, the voices of discussion became lower and lower, and when the big screen was lit up, it disappeared in an instant.
After the opening credits of Twentieth Century Fox, Studio Stanton and Marvel Comics passed, the originally quiet audience changed in an instant, and the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood erupted in laughter.
"Can you still do that with opening credits?"
Martin Smith was out of breath laughing, and Anderson Williams was no better, pointing a finger at the big screen all the time, "This...... Ha...... This director is too talented. ”
The subtitles on the screen are definitely something they have never seen in a movie after watching a movie for so many years, funny, funny, and interesting.
"A bastard's movie."
Behind the self-deprecating title is a list of cast and crew.
"Deadpool: The perfect fool made by God, Robert Downey Jr."
"Vanessa: A Sexy Hot Girl Jessica Alba."
"A villain from the UK."
"A crazy joker from Canada, Seth Rogan."
"A moody girl, Lily Collins."
"It's all computer special effects characters, Colossus."
"Idiot producer Carla Firth who can't afford to spend money."
"Philip Stanton, a waste director who doesn't do anything for money."
A very ordinary beginning, but it easily mobilized the emotions of the audience, and the entire Hollywood Chinese Theater was full of joy.
Daisy covered her mouth and laughed, "Murphy, this guy is too good at laughing at himself!" ”
The film officially began, and Daisy found out that her mouth couldn't close today, and from the first minute, she was constantly complained by Deadpool, as well as all kinds of self-deprecating and mocking memes.
Throughout the theater, laughter came and went, and it was almost like a wave.
Also, the film is not only funny, but also inherits the usual large scale of Murphy's films, which Daisy is very sure of, and the film has a clearly visible Murphy-Stanton-esque noir style.
There are definitely a lot of violent scenes of blood splattered and severed limbs flying in the film, as well as erotic scenes with chests, birds and buttocks, countless words starting with F or S coming out of the mouths of the cheap, and the yellow jokes he pops out of break the fourth wall from time to time, and he spoofs them all from Bush Jr. to Twentieth Century Fox to Leonardo DiCaprio, which is simply the demon king from the superhero movies of honest young people!
Especially when a large poster of Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio walking forward together holding hands appears in Deadpool's house, the soundtrack suddenly changes, and Daisy sings a song that she doesn't understand at all, but listening to the tune seems to be a love song.
"This is the soundtrack that you specifically asked people to go to China to get the right to use?" Kara Firth asked Murphy in a low voice, "What does that mean?" ”
Murphy lowered his voice, "That's not easy to explain. ”
In fact, this is not a profound thing, it is the song that he remembered at the time - "The sea can dry rocks, the sky can collapse, the ground can be cracked, we hold hands side by side, hand in hand, ......"
Pretty fit, isn't it?
It doesn't matter if you don't understand such a meme, as long as the film can arouse the interest of the audience, naturally someone will check such a meme, and Chinese is not unfathomable, someone will definitely understand.
Perhaps, in the future, Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio will appear on an occasion, and someone will sing this song.
Just like this stalk, the film brings endless joy to the audience, even if it is a serious guy like Colossus, the lines are full of jokes.
He said to Black Spider seriously, "Deadpool's mouth is his greatest weapon, and he will keep talking nonsense until you surrender or are annoyed by him to suicide." ”
Martin Smith and Anderson Williams are almost up straight, this Deadpool is simply invincible.
Deadpool with the driver when he rides in the car, taunts enemies during fights, and even when he is tied to the operating table to let the villain Ajax fish meat, not only liaring to Ajax that he has cabbage leaves on his teeth, but also mocking his real name Francis for being too sissy after taking away Ajax's nameplate.
Even if it's getting along with his girlfriend, Deadpool is still this urine.
The Christmas Eve proposal sounded so romantic, and he made do with a candy ring - not to mention that the candy had been hidden in his chrysanthemum the moment before.
Even in the final battle, he couldn't stop his cheap footsteps, pulled his underwear out of the crotch to make a white flag, and spelled the corpses and limbs of the miscellaneous soldiers into Ajax's real name...... The picture of Vanessa being knocked down by Ajax and falling to the ground gasping for breath is indeed beautiful, but ignoring the villain and making heart-to-heart gestures to her with the pink filter and lyrical BGM in her head......
At the end, Colossus Lux Balabala lectured a lot of people to put down the pistol, pardon the enemy, and be a hero, and he still didn't hesitate to get a shot in the head of Ajax, and sneered, "It's a pity that this is not a superhero movie of that type." ”
Of course, there is also the dimensional wall that cannot be ignored to break the fourth wall.
A few lines down the credits, and just when everyone thinks the film is over, Deadpool suddenly jumps out of the bathroom.
He continued to play cheap at the camera, "Surely you still want to see my sequel?" Probably not seen because Twentieth Century Fox was too stingy and didn't give the budget! (To be continued.) )
