readx;??? The premiere of "Iron Man" was chosen at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, although the theater was destroyed in the film, but it did not prevent the premiere from being held, and how can a landmark in North America be called a landmark if it has not been destroyed several times in Hollywood movies?

Then again, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, and the Washington Monument were destroyed significantly more often than the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sun has moved to the west, but it is still shining, and the red carpet has been rolled out far away to welcome the main creators and guests who participated in the premiere, not just Duke and Robert Jr.? Downey? Johnson and other people directly involved in the production of the film were all present, even Stan in New York? Lee, Avi? Arad and other Marvel Comics executives also rushed over.

This is the opening masterpiece of the Marvel series, and a series of events occurred before the release, and the premiere can be held smoothly, which can be described as twists and turns.

Only those old people in Marvel Comics know that it is really not easy for Marvel to get to where it is today.

Although the director in the interview area stole almost all the Marvel limelight by himself, the Marvel executives didn't care, because the dazzling box office pre-sale figures told them that Marvel was going to start a new era on the big screen under the leadership of the other party.

An era that belongs to Marvel superheroes.

"When making a movie, sometimes it's fun to have a little bit of mystery about the characters."

Standing in the interview area, Duke said a few words to reporters, "We Howard? It's no coincidence that Hughes's two past airhangs were used as sound booths; Stan? Mr. Lee created the actor Tony? Stark, whose character is based on Howard? Hughes, so the character in the movie is a blend of wealth, genius, and fame. ”

As always, Duke didn't say much to the media unless necessary, and quickly gave up the interview position to the actor who needed more exposure, and walked under the sponsor's backdrop to take a routine group photo with the organizer and the sponsor.

Although the film is a parallel world, it is still a modern society, and all kinds of products can appear in it. Like Tony? Stark's Audi sports car.

The film was also heavily sponsored, and as the film's director and producer, Duke was also very aware and very cooperative with the sponsors.

Hollywood premieres may vary in content. But it's mostly the same pattern, after the routine interview and group photo, Duke walked into the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with the crew, and since there was still some time before the screening, he first went to the VIP lounge.

"Hello. Directed by Rosenberg. ”

A middle-aged man with a somewhat unfamiliar face suddenly greeted him, Duke shook his outstretched hand, and said politely, "Hello." ”

Tina following behind? Fei immediately reminded in a low voice, "Is this Claude?" Lance, the FBI agent in charge of the Iron Man leak case. ”

Although they didn't know each other well, Duke talked to him a few words.

Just before the film's release, the FBI released the preliminary findings, and the heads of several piracy organizations became the main suspects in the incident, which can be regarded as an explanation for the high-profile actions during this period.

To some extent, this outcome is also in the interests of Warner Bros.

Of course. The various components of the MPAA are the beneficiaries of this operation.

In North America, although piracy is not very rampant, it is very far from being eradicated, and Hollywood is fighting with various piracy groups every year, and the infringers or organizations sued by the MPAA can form a huge list.

This result is arguably what the MPAA wants to see the most.

Warner Bros., on the other hand, fired some people, and despite the lack of relevant evidence, FBI agents set their sights on several targets.

Duke doesn't care much about who he catches in the end. If, as he suspected, it was impossible for the real people behind the scenes to be implicated in this matter, even if the FBI really found clues and evidence and finally found out. It must also be a few little people who are not important to Walt Disney.

Besides, Walt Disney won't just be a bystander, Duke and Warner have a certain relationship, and they don't have it.

However, Duke will not just forget it, he has never been the kind of good person who is generous.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Time Warner and News Corp. have stepped up their PR efforts, and Walt Disney is basically out.

Just last weekend, a large number of Walt Disney dolls and dolls made by India were exposed by several newspapers that there were serious quality problems with the fillers, and the bacteria that exceeded the standard may even threaten the development of minors.

This directly led to a sharp drop in sales of Disney-related products, according to the news obtained by Duke, Disney products in the former Disneytown of Disneyland in California have not been talked about in recent days.

Subsequently, Duke met with a heavyweight, James? Cameron also came to the premiere of "Iron Man".

He can accept it, for the simple reason that Duke has confirmed that he will participate in the investment of "Avatar".

The project is about to begin formal preparations, and the main investors are Duke, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, and Duke and Warner Bros. each occupy 30 percent of the investment amount, except for 20th Century Fox, which received 40 percent of the investment amount.

The fact that such an investment agreement can be reached is also related to a series of recent cooperation between the three parties.

Because of Warner Fox World, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox are getting closer and closer, and the two parent companies, Time Warner and News Corp., are also carrying out a series of cooperation.

Of course, Time Warner's top brass also knows Rupert? Murdoch has plans to acquire Time Warner.

The plan has provoked mixed reactions within Time Warner, with some opposing and others supporting.

After all, if the two media groups really succeed in the merger, it will be a behemoth that has never been seen before in the history of media. Murdoch wants to acquire Time Warner, and there is only one way to go, and it is impossible to determine who will have the power of the new group in the future.

However, all reasonable people know that it will be difficult for a merger to succeed, and it will take a long time to get through the Justice Department's Antitrust Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.

"You look like you're in a good mood,"

A familiar voice sounded next to him, and Duke turned his head to look, Erin? Already walking over, she smiled and said, "It seems that the pre-sale numbers you told me are true." ”

"Of course it's true." Duke looked at her and said, "Actually, I didn't expect it to work so well. ”

"Then you tell me...... "Irene?" Lauder leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked curiously, "Is this a marketing case you planned?" ”

Duke rolled his eyes helplessly, "Am I that boring?" Find such trouble for yourself. ”

This kind of thing, "Iron Man" is not the former "Wolf", and the early reputation is not bad, so there is no need to take this risk.

After saying a few words, Duke saw that the time was almost up, and greeted Erin? Together, Lauder walked towards the screening room.

At the same time, in many theaters in North America, the advance of "Iron Man" is also about to kick off, and many audiences are flocking to enter.

In the suburbs of San Francisco, with the sound of brakes, a black Ford stopped in front of a theater, and seeing the crowd walking in one after another, Drake quickly parked the car on the side of the road and hurried into the theater.

When I got off work, I encountered a traffic jam in San Francisco, and I was in a hurry all the way behind, but I was finally not late.

Entering the theater where "Iron Man" was showing, Drake looked at his watch, and in less than three minutes, the film was about to be officially screened.

"I'm finally going to see this movie!"

Drake couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, these days, the thought of seeing the full version of "Iron Man" would torment him almost every hour, making him regret that he was so curious and clicked on the link to the leaked version.

Choosing a seat, looking around, this is a small theater, the theater is also a small theater, but the attendance rate is quite amazing, at the moment when the film is about to start, Drake estimated, the attendance rate is at least eighty.

For a theater in a not very good location, such an attendance rate is already a rather terrifying number.

On Long Island, New York, the Jeffersons are already sitting in their seats, waiting for the movie to begin.

"This movie made a big fight." Anthony? Jefferson was still talking about what he saw on the news, "The FBI arrested so many people a few days ago, even the White House is paying attention to this incident, and there has never been a movie that can trigger such a violent reaction before." ”

"That's normal!" Jefferson Jr. sucked on a Coke and said, "Because the director is called Duke? Rosenberg! His influence is too great. ”

He abruptly changed the subject, "If he runs for president, I believe he has a certain chance of winning." ”

Obviously, this is a die-hard Duke fan.

"Well, don't talk about it," Mrs. Jefferson reminded, "and the film is about to begin." ”

The opening credits of Warner Bros., Marvel Comics, and Duke Studios flashed one by one, and after a line of credits for "Iron Man", a black man appeared on the screen.

Little Jefferson knew him, was that Don? Cheadle, who once worked with Duke.

"Tony? Stark, a dreamer, genius, and since his teenage years, as legendary weapons developer Howard? Stark's son, with his brilliant intellect, quickly gained people's attention......"

At the beginning of the film, from Rod's point of view, Tony is introduced from the side? What kind of person Stark is.

"As a military liaison for Stark Industries, I had the privilege of working with this true patriot. Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to announce that the Apex of the Year Award has been awarded to Tony? Stark. ”

"Tony, please? Stark! ”

Rod's voice resounded in the award venue, but no one came up to accept the award, Tony? Where did Stark go? (To be continued.) )
