Chapter 390: The Final Blow

“Oh! My! God! This treatment is just perfect! ”

"This is the best movie I've seen this year! This is the best filming since the advent of manga movies! ”

"This is not a superhero movie anymore! Or maybe James Cameron redefined the genre when others didn't know how to make a superhero movie! He killed this genre of superhero movies! All superhero movies in the future will live in the shadow of the "Spider-Man" series! ”

When the lights came back on, the inside of the theater was already full of applause.

Because the way the ending of the film was handled exceeded everyone's expectations!

In the opinion of the vast majority of professionals, the production team of "Spider-Man 3" raised Harry Osborne's transformation too high, put on a layer of humanity that should belong to decency, and made the audience unbearable to accept his failure, thus suppressing the glorious image of Peter Parker as the protagonist to a certain extent, and had to forcibly sublimate the protagonist's intention through the two solutions that have been recognized as successful in the film industry, James Cameron has walked out of his own third way!

Let Harry Osborne know everything, and then turn to the good again and choose to judge himself?

Inexistent!

If Harry Osborne puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha, won't Peter Parker, who is caught in a human choice, become a joke?

The ideological consciousness of the villain is higher than that of the decent?

You think this is Musashi Kojiro's Rocket Team!

As for getting Peter Parker to tell Harry Osborne everything, take all the hatred, and end up dying with the villain?

That's even more unlikely!

If Peter Parker died like this, then what was the need for his previous mental journey?

It's better to shoot monsters and upgrade them according to traditional commercial films, so that from the perspective of the scene, it will be more refreshing!

What's more, even if they are all gone, from a charismaical point of view, Harry Osborne is higher.

Now he is like Erlang God in "Baolian Lantern", and Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers".

Because of this, if you want to make Peter Parker, who is growing up, overpower the charismatic Harry Osborne, you can only sublimate him with an idea that is higher than fate, enlightenment, hope, and justice.

And this idea-

Only USA!

In this way, at the press conference after the premiere, when the staff put a group of chairs on the stage, and the main creative team took their seats one after another, the media reporters on the scene all focused on the first question.

And when James Cameron listened to their questions, he looked at Roland Allen next to him with the microphone, shook his head with a smile, and said: "DNA is not DNA but USA, this is actually not a setting in the script, but a temporary change on the shooting scene, according to our initial thoughts, the final ending is actually Peter Parker defeating the evil ghost and Green Goblin II, recognizing the responsibility of the hero and returning to the position of a hero at the same time, but also harvesting love." ”

"But during the filming, Roland told me that with love as the driving force, let Peter Parker be a hero again, this setting is actually too similar to Jack saving Ruth because of love, and in terms of performance, Peter Parker, who chooses love, is much lower in terms of ideological consciousness than Harry Osborne."

"Because Harry Osborne just wanted to find revenge on the evil ghost and Spider-Man when he mutated, he didn't have the idea of destroying the world at all, until he found out that his beloved Mary Jane was snatched away by his best brother, and he really went to the extreme."

"It is precisely because Harry Osborne is more rational than Peter Parker that we have a bigger goal to put the desperate Peter Parker into a predicament, and in the process of our discussion, Roland suddenly told me that since Peter Parker has already had a genetic mutation in his body, his DNA is no longer DNA, and in this case, what flows in his body is no longer blood, but the responsibility of protecting USA, so the end becomes like this."

"Of course, I also think that this line can perfectly correspond to Ben Parker's 'greater power, greater responsibility', when your ability reaches a certain level, it becomes your responsibility to defend the country, because you can bring peace and hope to everyone."

"And isn't it because people have such a beautiful vision in their hearts?"

Hiss!

Such an explanation made everyone at the scene gasp!

The last stroke of genius in the movie turned out to be changed by Roland Allen himself?

Tie the motivation of superheroes to patriotism?

This ideological consciousness is high enough!

When the guests present focused their eyes on Roland Allen, Roland Allen, who always felt that his image at the end of the film was really handsome, showed a shy smile, because he knew that this kind of modification all depended on understanding the king.

If you don't understand that Wang Weiyu is discharged from the hospital, Onion News will not spoof P pictures.

If Onion News hadn't spoofed Wang, then no one could have imagined that DNA could become something like USA.

Of course, in reality, this argument is indeed absurd, but in the movie, this is the best sublimation, just like the straightforward "American Sniper" can sell nearly 550 million at a box office of less than 60 million.

The straightforward and rough main theme is always the only way to override all motives!

And when Roland Allen found out that the guys on the scene wanted to hear his ideas, he raised the microphone and said: "I've been with Stie for so many years, even if I haven't produced my own movie, but I still understand the ways and means of creation, right?" ”

"Not to mention that I also made a cameo appearance in "Saving Private Ryan", at the end of the movie, the fluttering national flag is the source of inspiration!"

"Hahaha~" The guests all laughed.

While Roland's words sound fucked-up, it's a fact.

Because in the main theme, the Jewish gang said first, and no one dared to say second!

Like "Forrest Gump", "Independence Day", "Saving Private Ryan", these are all typical commercial films with the main theme, and in the future, even if Hollywood is stirred up by the Jewish Gang, there are more and more white lefts, but the Jewish Gang itself continues to promote the main theme related to the national spirit while arching the fire, like a white lotus in the prosperous era, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, but-

Full of tea!

After getting a satisfactory answer from James Cameron and Roland Allen, everyone focused on the idea of the whole movie or the entire series:

Roger Ebert, the No. 1 film critic in North America, wanted to know what kind of courage drove James Cameron to make a superhero movie that wasn't a superhero at all;

Kenneth Turan wondered if the entire production team wasn't afraid that the dull ending of the second part would lead to a backlash that would lead to a failure of the third part?

Derek Elie, a columnist for "Variety", wanted to know if the production team understood that based on the narrative flow of the trilogy, creating a flesh-and-blood Green Goblin father and son villain, so as to make Spider-Man's image infinitely elevated, will have what impact on the creation of future comic book superhero movies?

In the face of such inquiries, James Cameron's smile never stopped.

After the host collected the questions one by one, he raised his hand and patted Roland's shoulder and said, "These problems of yours are actually not problems, because Roland can solve them alone." ”

"Roland decided to get involved, so I had the courage to make a superhero movie that wasn't a superhero at all."

"I don't believe anyone would find the ending of Spider-Man 2 dull at all, because Jack's death is even more dull than that."

"As for whether the creation of comic book superhero movies will be affected in the future?"

"Isn't it over if you ask him directly?"

"Marvel, which has taken back all the takeaway rights, is in his hands, and DC's projects will also be contracted by him."

"He's not a boss who feels pressure, so how can I, a moviemaker, be pressured?"

“……”

The rightful emanation from James Cameron left the guests in a stupor.

Because of the existence of Roland Allen, James Cameron dares to dig deep in commercial films?

This, this, this......

This special code really makes so much sense!

It's speechless to get them!

That's right, in the eyes of everyone, the current Roland Allen is actually a walking BUG.

Because of his fan stickiness, he far surpasses everyone in the circle!

After producing different types of commercial hits to the public day after day, year after year, in the eyes of the audience, he can actually be equated with a good movie, and under this special filter, he can get more time and patience from the audience.

Don't underestimate that.

Because human patience is limited, and creation takes time to structure.

When a guy can make the public more patient, then he can spend more time building a better story.

And this is the cornerstone of continuous success!

Or rather, that's the power of branding!

"Then how much do you think this movie will win at the box office?"

Journalists, who felt that there was no problem to ask, threw out predictions that were inevitable in all movies.

And when Roland felt the hot and curious eyes from the audience, he shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said: "As my last movie, of course I hope it can have a good ending, but because it is the final chapter of the series, it already has a certain threshold for viewing, and the box office of the previous works combined just reached the two billion of "Titanic", so ......"

"I can't say to you what I hope it will break the box office record of Titanic."

"Don't embarrass me, just look at and estimate one."

If someone else were to say this kind of thing, then these reporters would definitely write a lot of books when they go back.

Like "the main creative team is not confident, and the box office is afraid of Waterloo", "The leading actor is vague about the box office, and he is afraid that the box office will not meet his personal expectations and his value will decline", "The producer can't fully evaluate the whole movie, and the creative ideas are worrying", etc., anyway, how to attract attention, then how to come.

can be replaced by Roland Allen, who is at the same level as his own top boss-

These guys who don't have discipline naturally have to be publicized according to the real situation at the movie scene!

So, early the next morning, the real thoughts that filled the sky came into people's eyes at the same time as the general election began:

"The best movie of 2000, there is no one." - The Sun

"'Spider-Man 3' redefines superheroes." - The Times

"Although there is no suspense in the ending, the process is full of surprises, and it is a full score of five stars!" - Empire

"If James Cameron used the "Terminator" series to teach other directors how to make science fiction films, and "Titanic" taught other directors how to make romance films, then he will use the "Spider-Man" series to teach other directors how to make superhero films! Compared to "Spider-Man 3", all the previous superhero movies are overshadowed! - "Variety"

"Peter Parker is going to be the most popular character in comic book history because of Roland Allen!" - The Hollywood Reporter

Almost all the media that attended the premiere gave it full praise, and this enthusiasm, combined with the uncompetitive November schedule, made "Spider-Man 3" successfully emerge under the siege of election news.

But even so, under the confrontation between the two parties of donkey and elephant and occupying public resources, people just know that Roland Allen's new movie "Spider-Man 3" is about to be released on the 16th, and the premiere before the release is also like previous works, widely praised by the media, and they can go to see it when the time comes...... Nothing else.

This situation makes Roland's fans a little regretful.

Because judging from the current battle, "Spider-Man 3" has reached one billion, which is already the limit!

Many people even wrote their own messages on IMDb, describing their helplessness -

"Although the idea of the ten-year covenant is very good, the current publicity is too bad for Roland!"

"yes, yes! When the public is paying attention to the election and the media resources are all occupied by the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, "Spider-Man 3" will not be able to get ahead no matter how much money it spends on publicity! ”

"That's right! Not to mention that only the blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" will be released in November, and in the case that major theaters only schedule "Spider-Man 3", many audiences will definitely not rush to watch it on the first weekend as before, because as long as you go to watch the movie this month, no matter what time it is, you can buy tickets! ”

"I'm not going to watch it on the first weekend, because the ending of "Spider-Man 2" is too depressing, plus there was a "Titanic" that Roland hung up before, I had to watch a movie twice, so this time I want to wait for the audience feedback of "Spider-Man 3" before I go, in case Peter Parker dies at the end of the movie, then I estimate that it will be uncomfortable for half a month!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm actually worried about this too, especially the reports of "The Times" and "Variety", which make me even more alarming! What does it mean to redefine superheroes? What does "Spider-Man 3" mean compared to "Terminator 2" and "Titanic"? When two sentences come together, tragedy comes to my mind! Because T-800 is dead, Jack is dead, and redefining superheroes is not saying that Peter Parker can also die? ”

Maybe it's because the connectivity of the Internet has become the focus of everyone's attention, but it may also be because Roland Allen has shown the world the importance of Internet marketing, so when the feedback on the Internet has flowed out one after another, the six major people who are paying attention to public opinion have also become very interested in these two-sided news, and when they found out that Roland's fans were surprisingly not optimistic about the box office of this movie, a wave of absurdity circulated wildly in their upper echelons-

"A billion? Roland's fans simply underestimate their idols. Murdoch, who had a conflict with Roland but did not cause a bigger conflict, said with a smile: "This is just the first step in publicity, more news, not released yet." ”

"Roland is probably going to be confused now?" Michael Eisner almost burst out laughing when he learned about the box office prediction on the Internet, "Because of the election, other movies have been withdrawn, so November is hell?" ”

"How can his fans be so cute? Before the movie was released, it had already helped him find a reason for failure? ”

"Wow, Wow, Wow, it seems that continuous filming of tragedy still has an impact on him!" The boss of Time Warner, who is still arguing with AOL, looks at the whole thing with an objective attitude, but for him, this kind of mourning from fans does not mean much, "because feelings will change their minds......"

Yes, while formulating the publicity plan, the publicity team of "Spider-Man 3" has actually taken into account the impact of the election, so in addition to the premiere on the 10th, Evelyn Watson also asked Sony to hold ten screening ceremonies in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia on the 12th and 14th.

Unlike the premiere, these 10 screenings will not have media reporters, no tickets for film critics and insiders, and all seats will be distributed to ordinary people who apply for tickets online in the form of fan benefits.

Because of this, what is screened here is the complete theatrical version of "Spider-Man 3" with easter eggs.

And this is also the final blow in the entire publicity process.

Since the entire easter egg is arranged at the end of the movie, that is, at the end of the credits, and there are no easter egg prompts from beginning to end, the fans who can see it here are either because of the guys who stayed on the scene unexpectedly, or because of the crying true love fans, and when these guys who were about to leave suddenly found that the dark screen was unexpectedly lit up again, the oncoming blue sea made them look confused, but after the familiar Irish tin whistle sounded, the three figures that appeared made their eyes widen!

Because—

Young male in a crisp suit.

Young woman in wedding dress.

Old man in glasses with a smile on his cheeks.
