Chapter 205: "Spider-Man" is released

For the general public, the entertainment industry in the past two years has been extremely boring.

Social hotspots that are closely related to everyone occupy their lives, and when their vital interests are seriously troubled, entertainment, a tertiary industry that belongs to the construction of spiritual civilization, is bullshit.

But the hurricane at the beginning of the year, as if to take away the dark clouds of bad luck that hung over America's head for nearly two years, as the natural disasters dissipated, those disturbing problems gradually disappeared, and the entertainment outside people's lives sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, reappeared in people's field of vision, the first of which was Wu Baige's "Broken Arrow".

As the story theme caused by the disappearance of the old-fashioned nuclear bomb, "Broken Arrow" takes the road of gunfight films, and this is Wu Baige's strength, not only that, when the male protagonist John Travolta appears, the cynical smile and the smoking posture with great charm will be vividly displayed with the word beep.

People can't help but shout-

Hold the grass!

Isn't this special code Brother Pony!

And when Roland heard this, he laughed-

'Wait, as soon as "Changing Face" comes out, you will find that there are two little ponies on the screen! It's all special code in the beep! ’

Although "Broken Arrow" exchanged an investment of 50 million for a box office of 70 million in North America, the overseas market also made a lot of gains.

It can be regarded as bringing the first touch of vitality to the entertainment industry that has been cold for a long time.

This was followed by Robin Williams' The Birdcage.

A-list is A-list, as a gay movie, with the addition of Robin Williams, the dramatic sense of comedy makes the audience in the theater laugh again and again, the plot that should be dark and depressing, can be played by them warm, cute, full of sunshine, the kind of comedy talent integrated into the bones made this movie win 120 million North American box office in the garbage schedule in early March, and at the same time, it also made insiders shout that the film and television industry has recovered.

Of course, it is inevitably biased to say that an industry has recovered based on just two movies, but the Oscar ratings of more than 44 million at the end of March are okay, and the most powerful of them is Nicolas Cage.

Because people want to know if Nicolas Cage, who asks prostitutes for acting in order to make a movie, will get his wish.

That's right, due to a lot of bad things at the beginning of the year, many companies are worried that their early preparations for the award will be wasted because of this, so they have crossed the sea to show their magic and prove that the actors are excellent, which is endless.

The most typical is Nicolas Cage, some media broke the news that before filming "Far from the Casino", in order to make herself more in line with the role, the heroine Elizabeth Shu in the film drank like crazy and specially visited alcoholics, while the male protagonist Nicolas Cage chatted with dancers in a striptease club in Las Vegas, looking for that decadent feeling.

As soon as such a dedicated argument came out, it shocked people's eyeballs, and when the heat stirred up, Fox publicly accused the media that spread the news, saying that the news was untrue, and it was obviously the heroine Elizabeth Shu who learned from the dancers and looked for a sense of dissoluteness, while Nicolas Cage adhered to herself, used alcohol to kill her sorrows, and looked for the pain, decadence and negativity of the people in the play.

Regardless of the truth, the entertainment gossip has been sold anyway, and the name of dedicating himself to the movie has also been played, and in this case, the sales of various 'breaking news' newspapers and periodicals have skyrocketed, which really makes those production companies breathe a sigh of relief.

Because in the past two years, this kind of entertainment tabloid has not sold as well as social hot spots.

When the melon-eating masses who are closely related to the entertainment industry stand up again, this industry will really be saved.

Of course, for the gossip masses, what really interests them is Roland Allen, who has returned to people's sight - taking advantage of the hottest Internet industry at the moment, after being squeezed by the media to say a 'yes', the kind of 'guess who Roland likes?' The topic has directly become the only hot topic on the IMDb communication page.

Nonsense!

IMDb is Roland's own, and it's so easy to put Cole Niedhan on top.

In addition, Sony threw some money into it, and those layout administrators who took Roland's salary naturally understood how they should 'maliciously control' at the publicity threshold of "Spider-Man".

Suspend the update of "Titanic" and Kate Winslet's entries, and fish out the gossip photos submitted by Sony from the pending review area, as the largest fan community on the Internet with more than 30 million user visits per week, the backstage staff can influence the discussion direction of a public opinion news with two clicks of the mouse.

Not only that, but on the Yahoo homepage, there are also photos of Roland being interviewed.

After clicking on the webpage to browse the news, they can see the IMDb link embedded at the end of the article by the Yahoo administrator, and there is a note at the end of the article, which briefly describes the nature of the website.

Regardless of whether it is a movie fan who has already bought a house on IMDb, or those melon-eating people who browse the news on Yahoo and are finally led to IMDb, the entire Internet marketing process is played into a closed loop by the same boss.

Although Roland hates trouble, when trouble does appear, he will still take the initiative to make money-making arrangements!

As a result, a series of remarks such as 'Roland and Reese seem to be a couple', 'Roland and Kate have no chance to date at all', 'Although I think Kate is more beautiful than Reese, there is no possibility of operation in time', and 'I fell in love with the drama during the filming of "Spider-Man", which sounds so romantic', has become the mainstream opinion of most fans......

And remarks like 'Kate and Roland are more compatible', 'I really want to see Roland and Kate cooperate', and 'Steven's child is definitely Roland', were placed in the lower half of the same page under the operation of the mastermind behind the scenes......

Because this thing is still very useful after Fox announced the list of "Titanic" lineups, with the official real hammer, they can naturally turn the current top discussion area directly into a rumor, and then praise these guys who insist!

There is no deletion of comments or control of comments, this kind of guidance is already very fair, right?

With the traditional media in the same camp as Roland spreading rumors and the Internet community controlled by Roland intervening slightly, "Spider-Man", which will be released in June, has made headlines at the speed of a rocket.

The offline controlled by Sony is not idle, with bus spray painting, huge advertisements for landmark buildings, pre-pose interviews, and creative portraits...... These propaganda methods that require spending money are instantly attached to the streets and alleys of major cities, and the two-pronged online and offline propaganda methods are also pleasantly surprised to find that the blockbuster that has been waiting for several years has finally appeared!

This kind of treatment of the annual masterpiece that only a son can enjoy makes "Mission Impossible" and "Tornado", which are in front of "Spider-Man", extremely speechless, and their publicity is done well, but they are squeezed aside by the strong debut of "Spider-Man" - but no way, who makes "Spider-Man" have enough gimmicks?

The IP of Spider-Man itself has its own traffic, and Roland, who starred in it, has a terrifying fan base.

And in front of this kind of kryptonite players with their own plug-ins, Sony is still very sassy to step on the popularity of Yahoo's listing and Roland's love suspicion to make announcements, plus in addition to the heroine Gwen and the second generation of Green Goblin, the other guys in the lineup can crush the popularity of other movie stars if they pick one at random, but "Tornado" invested and produced by Amperin and "Mission Impossible" by Tom Cruise are really hard to fight.

But fortunately, they did not collide with "Spider-Man", although the momentum is not as good as "Spider-Man", but "Tornado" still strongly contributed to the amazing box office of more than 41 million in the first weekend, and "Mission Impossible", which was released 12 days later, was even more swiped 45 million in three days of release, such a result made people shout, the wolf is coming!

You know, the box office of the first weekend exceeded 40 million, and there have been three times so far.

After "Batman Forever" cut 52 million in three days, the entire film market is constantly pulling its hips.

And less than a year has passed since that terrifying box office event, as if it was just yesterday!

However, the money-rolling behavior of "Tornado" and "Mission Impossible" has also increased the expectations of Sony and the market for "Spider-Man", if it is not really impossible to achieve a global simultaneous release this year, then premieres around the world may be pulled up by Sony, but no matter what, the 53% film scheduling rate is already the greatest support given by the North American theater alliance, and in order to build momentum for the film, Sony also invited stars from all parties to attend the premiere held in New York on June 3. For example...... Well, the ultra-luxurious lineup of "Spider-Man" can move to the whole of Hollywood.

Take Tom Cruise, for example, he is still there to run a roadshow for his "Mission Impossible", and the back foot is with "Mission Impossible" director Brian Palma to give "Spider-Man" a platform, this kind of "enemy" to "enemy" platform behavior makes those media who have written press releases for many years speechless.

And the biggest headache for them is that Sean Connelly and Nicolas Cage, the stars of "Into the Dead Island", which will be released on the same day as "Spider-Man", were also brought by Francis Coppola and Steven Spielbergera.

This kind of behavior is their own people wherever they go, and the reporters shook their heads again and again.

You're letting them report that, huh?

Opponents cheer on opponents?

This kind of behavior is not just a fist with the rabbit, cheering hard, and saying to Eagle Sauce: "Eagle Sauce, you have to come on!" "It's the same spoof!

In addition to people in the entertainment industry, Ronald Perelman, who had greeted Roland before, also appeared on the red carpet with Marvel shareholder Carl Icahn, laughing and hugging Roland and the truck driver in a friendly way; Rupert Murdoch, who had previously greeted Sony and said that he was also interested in superhero movies, also came over cheekily.

With their appearance, the atmosphere of the scene is even more harmonious.

After all, the relationship between these people is that one wants to need and the other is needed......

As for the film critics and entertainment editors of major newspapers and magazines who accompanied them?

They may not want to see a guy like Roland who catches commercial films, but they don't dare to show their faces.

The pen stick dares to scare the big guy, but he doesn't dare to scare the father of the gold owner who gives them a platform to let them post.

Of course, Kate, who was wearing a little black dress, also appeared at the premiere.

It's just that everyone knows it, and it will be counted as a smile and a hello.

And compared with the main creative team who are as calm as old dogs, the film critics and entertainment editors who purely watch the lively guests, and write reviews truthfully, it is actually the children who are really happy - ah no, the lucky ones who are chosen.

Almost every commercial blockbuster premiere has a certain amount of free seats reserved for those fans, which is a commercial practice and a means to give back to fans.

Soon, when all the processes were completed, the lights in the theater dimmed and the screen lit up.

As the opening credits of the flip animation appear, Roland also sits upright; Although he knew that the IP of Spider-Man would not be able to hit the street, he was actually curious about the effect of this year when he watched the film for the first time.

At the beginning of the film, it is a self-description of Peter Parker in the dark, and the plot that follows is no different from the final script of the truck driver, Peter Parker is brutally bullied at school, and the righteous Gwen Stacy fights for him, and in this case, Harry Osborne, who is a classmate of the little spider, also extends a caring hand to him...... After explaining the identities and living environment of several characters with a simple series of shots, Roland, who was sharp-eared, heard some discussions-

It's about small plums.

"Leo's image is actually quite good."

"yes, no worse than Roland."

"The acting is very good, if nothing else, I can enter the ranks of A-list."

That's right, this is the advantage of being handsome, although Xiao Lizi kept saying that Roland is more handsome, but the two stand together, and no one can ignore him, and this is actually the main reason why Roland is looking for each other.

He is already an A+list, and he has touched the ceiling in the actor's profession, unless he is improving his acting skills, otherwise, if he wants to bring people the same bright feeling as when he saw "Home Alone", there is only one opportunity left for "Titanic", and when he knows that his acting skills can't go to make people tremble, he borrows external forces to make the mediocre narrative plot more bright, which is the trick he figured out.

After all, compared to other films, comic movies are inherently flawed in terms of narrative.

Adaptation is not nonsense, creation is not creation, but any movie that breaks away from the foundation of comics and writes its own plot will die a miserable death, so that when the movie is established, fans actually already know what this movie is about.

No way, who let the comic have already spoiled the main plot in advance?

In the face of this kind of situation, it is necessary to use other means to win over people's hearts.

Of course, no matter how handsome Xiao Li is, in this movie is also a supporting role to promote the plot, when he wants to help the little spider regain his self-confidence on the screen and invite the whole class to visit his own Osborne industry, the cowardice of the little spider and the self-confidence of the second generation of green goblins, these two contrasting personalities, stand up directly.

It's a pity that the little spider was not the protagonist of the big at the beginning.

He has no poisonous tongue attribute and is dull, and from the sensory point of view, he is actually quite boring.

But it doesn't matter, when Peter Parker gets bitten by a spider, it's a different story!

Because compared to boring narratives, aren't superhero movies just Boom, Boom, Boom......

And when the little spider gains the ability to participate in the underground boxing match, the first place to show the selling point has already arrived.

The fight scenes designed by Yuan Baye are imaginative, like Nolan's "Batman" street brawl Wang Baquan, or the snow melee in "Inception", he doesn't have any of these things.

Even if the little spider shouldn't be able to do kung fu, the bullet time brought by the spider sense can always be used, right?

The boxer smashed it with a punch, and the picture of the fist grazing the tip of his nose and slashing through the air is exactly the same as the picture in Xing Ye's "Kung Fu", when a person fights the entire Axe Gang, calmly watching the axe rub in front of him.

When leaning on the iron railing and dodging the boxer's attack with his agile body, no matter whether the opponent smashes the chair or swings the baseball club, the dexterous figure can always dodge just right.

Falling from the sky, when the landing POSE is posed, the close-up of the back, and the opening of "The Matrix 2" landed, some of them are a fight.

The point is, unlike the lens editing commonly used in Hollywood, the offense and defense of each move are all long-shot close-ups, and in this way, there is no such thing as I lifted the bench and smashed it down in the last second, the bench has not touched your body, and the close-up of the next second of the camera becomes a picture of you falling to the ground, this kind of smooth lens sense makes everyone on the scene cry out as a surprise, because their fighting scenes have never been filmed like this, and the last time I saw this kind of smooth shot, it was in the introduction of Warcraft Film and Television at the beginning of the year "Red Fan Zone"!

"Wow! Is it that cool when you just start? ”

"The slow-motion close-up of the fist rubbing against the nose is so handsome!"

"How did you shoot that landing pose?"

Listening to the exclamations and discussions coming from behind, Roland, who was sitting in front, smiled.

In terms of pure action scenes, the Hollywood guys are really stiff dirt buns.

In "The Matrix 2", the rivalry between Fu Zhaolong and Keanu Reeves is regarded as a classic by them, but compared with Li Lianjie's fight in the ring in "Huo Yuanjia", isn't the latter more handsome?

As for the scenes where Keanu Reeves fights countless Hugo Weaving in "The Matrix 2", it is far less handsome than Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" or Li Lianjie's "Jingwu Heroes", and the clean and neat movements are more enjoyable to watch!

But there is no way, just by action, it can only be a star, and Hollywood in this era has developed a fixed system in all aspects except for action.

What's more, the movie, just by fighting, wouldn't it become "Kill Bill"?

After solving the underground boxer, followed by the plot of the uncle's death, when Tom Hanks, the actor of Lian Zhuang, looked at the little spider and said the line 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', a wave of not breaking out in silence, the feeling of dying in silence, made fans empathize, but made insiders purse their lips and shake their heads.

Everyone can see that Roland, who stared at Hanks on the screen and wanted to cry but didn't want to cry, was crushed by the other party in terms of acting skills.

It's like reading a car article, the wheel of the car is printed on Roland's face!

But there is no way, if Hanks wants to show that it is infectious, then he can't just take care of Roland's feelings.

However, it is the same to be able to move the audience.

Commercial films, you can bring the audience in any way!

The death of his uncle is also the first step for Dick Silk to transform into a superhero next door, after catching the murderer, a set of narrative montages vividly portrays the little spider's behavior of punishing evil and promoting good, and at the same time, with the report of the "Clarion Daily", when the little spider is rated as a 'villain outside the rest of the law', Dr. Lizard, who was forced out by Norman Osborn, finally appears.

ILM has also shown the industry's first-class heritage.

In the laboratory, due to the blockage of the circuit, the light suddenly dimmed, and the flickering lights cast a terrifying veil on Dr. Lizard's mutation, and in the sudden light, Robert De Niro's body on the screen continued to twist and expand.

The sound of muscle restructuring continued to sound, and the body that continued to rise and grow made everyone present hold their breath.

Although there is no close-up close-up, the flickering light still depicts the entire transformation process completely, and the long shots that keep zooming in also allow the audience to watch the entire transformation process well, and when the giant lizard with a cold glow roars in the sky, the unheard of and unseen visual effects catch everyone's attention.

The sound of gasping cold air spread throughout the entire viewing hall-

“FFFFFFuck…… What kind of special effect is this? ”

“Damn! Dr. Lizard's transformation is too cool, isn't it? ”

"Oh! When the movie is released, I will definitely go to the cinema and watch it again! I didn't see it clearly at all, what is going on with the transformation in this paragraph? This is even more handsome than the storm scene in "Tornado"! ”
