On May 4th, before the first weekend of May, "Iron Man" held a grand premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Theron, Hugh? Jackman and Patrick? Stuart and other X-Men, as well as Ryan and Scarlett? Johnson and many other members of the Avengers who have appeared appeared appeared at the premiere.

Except for Robert Jr., who overshadowed everyone in the limelight? Donnie and Gwyneth? In addition to Paltrow's male and female protagonists, the focus of media attention is still surprising Chris, who will play the leading role in the announced "Thor" plan? Hemsworth.

Although this is an unknown Australian actor, judging from the current momentum of surprise star-making, as long as the film is released, it is very likely to become a mainstream commercial film star.

This brother hammer in his previous life is still living in the Australian TV circle, and when the people sent by Ryan found him, he was almost stunned by the big pie that fell from the world, and as for the hammer brother who was destined to fall in love with him, he also made an agreement with Marvel, but because he was filming other movies, he couldn't appear here.

In addition to "Thor", Marvel is also working on the selection of the main creative team of "The Avengers", although this is just a standard Hollywood assembly line popcorn movie, but it still takes a lot of skill for the director to combine so many characters and elements into one film.

The choice of the surprise side was Jon? Fei Ru, but this fat man pushed it away, and he directly admitted that he did not have such ability.

Then the news reached Ryan, and he recommended Jos? Whedn. is the director in the previous life, but the other party's resume made the surprise a little hesitant.

After all. He just screwed up the Universal Pictures investment.

Speaking of Jos? Wheddon, whose most famous work in the past is definitely "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which once had a huge impact on North American teenagers, but in the new century, "Firefly", which he wrote and produced, suffered Waterloo.

In 2002, "Firefly" aired only 11 episodes on Fox because of the chaotic setup structure and poor ratings. Was cut directly, although later because of the DVD a small fire, so that Jos? Whedon pulled investment from Universal Pictures. filmed the movie version, but it is still a messy hodgepodge, and last year's box office also proved that the cowboy western sci-fi concept is problematic. In the words of Hollywood insiders. Jose? Whedon ruined himself from the moment the idea came to mind.

Whether it's Jos? Weddon's past works, or "The Avengers" that Ryan recommended him to direct, are all completely commercial works, in fact, it is no wonder that there are doubts about surprise, because the box office of "Firefly" is too miserable, with a pitiful global box office of just over $38 million.

Such a box office is really not convincing. Moreover, he shoots commercial films, not niche literary films.

But. The surprise aspect also didn't quite put Jos? Whedon ruled out and is in contact with him, this kind of big investment involving hundreds of millions of dollars, caution is a very normal thing, if they pat their heads and decide, I'm afraid Ryan will consider whether it is time to remove the surprise executive.

After all, no one would let a bunch of guys with their heads in water take the helm of a nearly $4 billion company for themselves.

"Hi Scarlett, you look ......"

As soon as he entered the VIP lounge of the theater, Ryan saw the chubby girl Scarlett? Johnson, "Looks like I'm losing a lot of weight." ”

"Thanks, Ryan." Although Scarlett usually says that she doesn't care, what woman doesn't care about her weight, "I've been losing weight and working out lately, and I'm preparing for a sequel to "Hurricane Rescue". ”

"I remember going to Istanbul to shoot on location."

Ryan follows Stan, who passes by? Lee beckoned, and without waiting for him to speak, Charlize, who was wearing a moon-white evening dress, walked over, she seemed to hear the conversation between the two people, and after holding Ryan's arm, she interjected, "I heard that this time it was your turn to rescue your father?" ”

"Pretty much." Scarlett's eyes turned to Charlize, "Disney wants to launch a sequel next year, and the script is written quickly." ”

"That's right, Charlie." She added, "Don't you have any new works this year?" ”

"There are a few scripts, and I haven't figured out which one to take for the time being." Charlize shrugged his shoulders gracefully, "It's a critical stage in the development of CT, I'm a bit busy with work, and I'm going to attend the World Cup in Germany next month. ”

"It's a World Cup year again." Ryan rarely pays attention to this aspect in his life.

"You go ahead ......," Scarlett waved to the other side, "I'll go talk to Christine for a while." ”

Seeing Scarlett leave, Ryan simply took Charlize and walked towards the screening hall, "Are you sleepy?" ”

"Not yet." Charlize leaned into his ear and whispered, "You've helped me with most of the funding and publicity issues, and I can't believe that CT can rise in less than two years." ”

Ryan just patted Charlize's hand lightly and didn't say anything more.

In just over a year, CT's candy and fashion sales totaled more than $150 million, and although there is a reason for its backing to Disney, Charlize himself cannot be ignored.

While greeting someone, the two found their seats, and after sitting down, Charlize asked, "Go to Germany together next month?" ”

"Do you have a lot of activities over there?" Ryan asked rhetorically.

"You know, the 2010 World Cup is going on in my hometown." Charlize got closer, "I'm going to participate in a lot of promotional activities with the organizing committee in South Africa. ”

"Let's see when the time comes."

It's hard for football to cast too much eye on him.

Like most superheroes in Marvel Comics, Iron Man is a hero with a frailty, Tony? Stark is an entrepreneur and a playboy who lives a dazzling life, and compared with last year's thin "Hulk", the storyline of the film can be described as ups and downs, and the complex multiple identities of the protagonist make the story thrilling and interlocking, which is quite exciting.

In addition, the identity of the protagonist's technical otaku will presumably be recognized by a considerable part of the audience.

As a film full of black technology, special effects are another major selling point.

The dazzling high-tech display became a highlight of the film, especially Tony? Stark's private studio is full of new technologies, and the special effects of the film are made by Industrial Light and Magic, successfully combining digital special effects and real images, which is definitely the highest level of special effects technology that can be achieved in Hollywood today.

In the film, Iron Man's transformation process is decomposed, and even down to how the parts are matched and how the joints are connected, the dazzling colors and rhythmic mechanical sounds constitute a unique viewing effect, and the special effects such as Iron Man's sonic boom and over-speed high-altitude flight have also reached the realm of staggering the audience.

In the final analysis, the biggest selling point of this type of film is to use super hot special effects to create the limit of audio-visual perception.

Of course, the film also has a lot of novel plots, such as the final press conference, Tony? Stark confronted countless reporters and said 'I am Iron Man'!

The era of covert superheroes has passed, and a high-profile, flamboyant superhero has been born.

The film is full of joy, whether it is the plot, or the special effects, or the performances of several main actors, it is very pleasing, which can be seen from the extremely enthusiastic applause from the ordinary audience in the back row after the subtitles fell.

In today's era, the response speed of the Internet has long surpassed that of traditional media, and even those film critics with online columns are far less fast than the comments of netizens on the Internet.

After all, those film critics still have to pay attention to art and connotation, and what ordinary audiences write is only the most intuitive feeling after watching the movie.

"A very entertaining movie binge."

"It's fast-paced, humorous, and very entertaining."

"This is a funny, stinky and chattering hero! The ending 'I.am.Iron.Man' is so handsome. ”

"This film adaptation of the Marvel comic book has absolutely dazzling gear, exhilarating missions, and eye-catching comedic effects."

Not only ordinary audiences, but also relatively young film critics, who also praise the film, and Claudia, a famous female film critic who has always been deeply influenced by Disney's public relations? Pugh wrote in an online column.

"Iron Man is a wonderful, moving, and unusual superhero movie, Tony? Stark is a combination of almost all men's dreams - money, status, sports cars, private jets, beautiful women, super intelligence, courage, and a sense of justice - and of course, most importantly, he has a sense of reality that other superheroes do not have. Perhaps, Tony created not only his steel suit, but also the dream in the minds of every audience. ”

The next day's "Los Angeles Times" did not hesitate to praise the film.

"Playboy, chatter, super genius, high-profile rich second generation, the success of "Iron Man" lies in subverting the previous superheroes' low-key, serious, strict, and incognito traditions, with soaring personal charm to the extreme, and a more pure high-tech geek style to fight terrorists, which is also more in line with the current social situation in the United States."

As for Disney's media, it is natural to be eager to hold the movie to the sky.

"A mercenary arms dealer who, after encountering a life accident and getting out of danger, becomes a philanthropist and a lone ranger who punishes evil. The storyline of the film is vivid and exciting, the actors' acting skills are also very good, and the level of computer stunts is absolutely superb. This is not only a science fiction film, but also an inspirational film. ”

In terms of public opinion, Disney is fully prepared, and the rest depends on the market's reaction. (To be continued......)
