Chapter 538: Conquering Hollywood [Asking for Tickets]

The time to record the show always flies quickly, and the interaction between several people on the stage makes the audience laugh again and again, and the inside story revealed for the first time, funny tidbits, and exciting revelations make the atmosphere better and better.

Wu Xian feels that as long as he and others promote it well, then there should be no problem for this show to win the ratings championship in the same period, after all, the popularity of the host and guests has gone here, what else is there to worry about?

Bidding farewell to Liu Yifei and others, Yang Lin flew directly to Hollywood, where he will meet with the crew of "Transformers" and directly launch fierce publicity around the world.

It is now the early stage of the summer season, and many blockbusters are being staged in turn, among which the viewing trend brought by "Spider-Man 3" released in May has put great pressure on the following movies.

"Spider-Man 3" is a film published by Sony, which collected $800 million at the global box office, dominating the first half of the year, and is known as a strong contender for this year's annual box office list.

The film far surpasses the first two films in terms of technology, with dazzling battle scenes that are balanced over the course of two and a half hours. This time, Spider-Man's opponents are upgraded, the special effects are upgraded, and the length of the film is upgraded, and it is commendable that the character portrayal is also upgraded at the same time. It may be easy to create flashy action scenes, but it's a challenge to weave them into the actors' performances without a trace. Sam Raimi solved this problem with ease.

The epic blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" released in June is still hot around the world, and the blockbuster from Disney has always had a strong box office competitiveness, and in less than 20 days, it has won $600 million at the global box office.

"Spider-Man 3" broke 100 million in three days, with a weekend box office of 150 million and a first-day box office of $58 million. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" grossed $56 million on the first day, temporarily ranking second in film history.

And "Shrek 3" was also released in a rage, slashing $120 million at the box office in the first weekend. It became the second-highest box office in the first weekend on record, behind only "Spider-Man 3".

The current "Transformers" is also the same sci-fi visual blockbuster, can it go to the next level at the box office. It has become the focus of attention of all parties.

This year is a bumper year for the global box office, with many blockbusters bombing in turn. But Yang Lin's mood is not so comfortable, it is true that "Transformers" is a blockbuster with great visual impact. is also very effective in publicity, but it is still a question whether it can make achievements on the box office list.

Paramount's side is naturally jubilant, on September 17, 1984, the "Transformers" cartoon began to officially broadcast in North America, at that time the children who grew up watching "Transformers" are now many of the elites in society. It is the main member.

Looking back at the live-action version of "Transformers", it is naturally their first choice to watch movies, although there are very few stills and trailers given, but they still can't stop their hearts.

Michael Bay has been hanging on to their appetite and refuses to divulge too much, so now the image of the Transformers is still a mystery, and the concept art given is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Director, I always think that the Transformers you make are not very different from the previous comics and cartoons." Yang Lin sat on the sofa and watched some of the short films that Michael Bay had passed on to him. Somewhat surprised.

He used to shoot movies all in front of the air. I didn't expect it to be so grand and tense after the special effects.

In terms of shape, several protagonists have changed, Optimus Prime's chest muscles seem to be more developed, and the waist and legs also have obvious slimming effects, but the mask face full of a sense of justice has been inexplicably opened. The position is low, and the philtrum is very long. What made him look like a deflated old lady when he spoke, and the worst thing was that his flickering blue eyes actually had two long eyelashes. The whole elderly female spy is completely ruining the image of a great man. Megatron has always been very imposing, and that small pistol was really unorthodox back then, and a dignified leader became such a small thing, which made people very worried about the future of the madmaniacs. …,

The other members have changed a lot, which is generally a good thing, after all, it is better to have a CRV in the team of the Autobots than to have a Changhe face, and the more nonsensical little devil shape of the Bumblebee has also been changed, otherwise I don't know what he can do, at most he can only mess with the art troupe.

Michael Bay glanced at Yang Lin with dissatisfaction, and said: "That's why it's different from before, don't you think it looks more spectacular and stylish?" And some adjustments have also been made to the equipment. ”

Megan shook her head lazily, her brown hair pouring down like a waterfall, like a new generation of sexy goddesses. The bright sun shone on her, making her even more beautiful.

"Actually, the new version is good, it retains the image of the original version, and adds new things. It looks so cool, can I take a picture with it? I want to tweet it. ”

She pointed to the steel giants standing behind her, which were the prototypes of all the Transformers in the movie, all of which were built, and they looked majestic and tall, and they were quite cool.

"I started the propaganda today, I don't know what you think or feel." Michael Bay leaned back, his face a little haggard.

Just today, Paramount Pictures released a TV version of the trailer that was shown on television stations across the United States and around the world. Send the copy to the MPAA for grading review as soon as possible" The pre-release publicity work has also been carried out for a long time, and this time Paramount Movie has no viral marketing plan. It's just cyber bombing. There are also magazine and newspaper covers and interviews, outdoor poster advertisements, theatrical screen trailers, TV master second promotional videos, and so on.

But the 2 and a half minute TV version of the trailer has disappointed many fans, not without attraction, but also exciting, but the problem is that it has not changed much from the teaser of the first version, and there are two more new scenes when counted. The plot is still very unclear, could it really be guessed by them, there are only so many highlights, all compressed in the trailer?

On the official website of "Transformers", there is also Michael Bay's own blog, and the official website of Paramount Pictures was crowded with fans, and they were directly swiped.

"Is this movie a complete reversal of the previous comics? Judging from the trailer, this live-action version of the movie seems to be an advertisement in addition to the special effects. A young man named Leon didn't mind it.

And a girl, Lisa, asked: "This movie has a sign of recalling childhood in the promotion, but the Optimus Prime I saw from the trailer disappointed me." I was going to go to the cinema the day after tomorrow, but I couldn't find a companion! ”

Despite all the skepticism, it's more about the maintainers.

A middle-aged uncle named Aris wrote: "More than 20 years ago, I was chasing comics and anime. To be able to see them in cinemas more than 20 years later is a rewarding thing for me. ”

"In the trailer, we saw a shocking scene, powerful special effects, and a few handsome young people, this will be a good popcorn movie."

No matter what others think, as soon as you walk out the door now, you will be surrounded by the overwhelming commercials of "Transformers", as if the movie has taken over the entire city.

In the subway, on the bus, in the supermarket, on the billboard, a surprising figure evokes the memories of countless people, today's young people, who didn't have a few Transformers toys before?

In any case, as long as you still live in this city, you know the news that the live-action movie "Transformers" is about to land in theaters, and whether to go to see it is another matter. …,

And with the passage of time, the review of "Transformers" in the mainland has also been successfully passed, which is the first time that a Hollywood blockbuster has had a simultaneous global premiere in China, and it is still a cut-and-sew.

Because Yang Lin is the starring role, the introduction of "Transformers" is particularly smooth, after all, it is China Film Group that is responsible for importing films, and Yang Lin and China Film Group happen to be in the honeymoon period.

The big reason why Paramount agreed to Yang Lin to be one of the leading actors this time is that he wants to get more box office in the Asian market, after all, an Asian starring, especially Yang Lin is quite appealing, it should not be a problem to increase some box office.

Just as "Transformers" was preparing for its release, Yang Lin's domestic film officially came to an end.

Although "Mei Lanfang" stubbornly suppressed "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the early stage, blockbusters are always blockbusters, and now "Mei Lanfang" is close to the next painting, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" still occupies the first place in the box office list.

In the past week, the newly released "Durala's Promotion" became the second place in the weekly box office list, collecting more than 60 million box office in a week, and the first place was "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which lived up to expectations and exceeded 100 million.

As for "Mei Lanfang", it won more than 50 million box office, and the total box office has reached 370 million, and the overseas release has gradually unfolded.

and Jay Chou's new movie "The Secret That Can't Be Said" ranked fourth, winning more than 30 million box office in a week.

This week's box office list is like a backwater, but next Tuesday is the global release of "Transformers", and it is estimated that it will be another battle. (To be continued.)
