Chapter 21
Until the premiere ended and fans began to walk out of the theater, everyone was still in a state of shock.
At the end of the question-and-answer session, Harsh Rai's dazzling moves shocked everyone from ear to ear.
Even director Marc Webb.
He thought Harsh Rai was just showing off with a few moves, but he didn't expect him to be serious!
Can you do those tight-fitting stunts in a suit?
Indian kung-fu is so delicious!
After Harsh Rai finished his performance, he didn't even take a breath and still asked the reporter in a steady voice:
"So, any questions?"
"The New York Times female reporter quickly sat down, wishing she could dig a crack in the ground and bury it.
Her aggressive questioning attitude just now was gone.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Harsh Rai's skills, who is qualified to be his substitute?
The audience ended the premiere in shock. After they came out, their emotions recovered and they couldn't help but talk about the movie they just watched.
"Spider-Man is so handsome! It fits the comics perfectly"
"I was finally relieved, the previous movies were so ridiculously adapted!"
"Although this film has also been adapted, it is very comfortable to watch!"
"yes! And the casting of Spider-Man is really amazing! The actor is a genius!"
Leonard was very excited. This is really the most perfect live-action Spider-Man movie in his mind."
"How to say? guys?"
"Still need to hesitate? Just start walking!"
Howard waved his hand and led the way.
Of course, they didn't go home, but turned around and walked to the ticket office nearby, planning to buy more movie tickets and watch the movie again! They really didn't watch enough!
However, there are many movie fans who have the same idea as them. Few.
The queue at the ticket window has no end.
"Damn, are these people moving so fast?"
"Ridiculous! Why!"
"It's all your fault for making you go to the toilet!"
Leonard complained to Sheldon that he just wasted time.
"Um? I defecate on time every day. Besides, if you are in a hurry, go and line up first. Why are you waiting for me?"
"Hey, forget it, grab the tickets for tomorrow."
At this time, an old man walked by and said:
"Don't think about it. All the tickets for next week are sold out. Try another theater."
"ah?"
Online ticket booking is not popular these days, and movie tickets are basically purchased at offline windows.
Moreover, mobile Internet access is not yet popular, there is no mature social network, and the reach of face is also limited.
No one can grab tickets online. There is no way to announce the news immediately.
The outside world has not yet felt the influence of"Spider-Man".
A few blocks away from the Galaxy Theater, some theaters do not require queuing at all, and outsiders are basically in a wait-and-see state.
"Let's go to a movie night tonight, shall we? How about"The Pursuit of Happiness"?"
In a relatively empty theater, a young man and woman were watching a movie.
"I've heard that it's a drama. I want to watch a movie with big scenes."
""007 Casino Royale"? It hasn't been released yet, but it's quite good."
"I watched it. I watched it with you last time. Did you forget?"
"Well..."Happy Feet? Wait, there's another Spider-Man"?"
"Wow! The male protagonist is quite handsome, just like"Spider-Man"!"
"Don't watch it, an Asian plays Spider-Man? Don't be ridiculous, I won't even watch it to death."
The white man looked contemptuous.
Before the two of them could make a decision, a crowd of people suddenly rushed out of the door.
The white man was startled, thinking that these people were here to rob.
"No, no, no, if you have something to say, please say it."
Unexpectedly, this group of people just rushed to the ticket window
"Spider-Man! 3 tickets! 0 o'clock show!"
"Me too, Spider-Man 2 pictures!"
"Spider-Man 6 tickets!"
"Don't wait in line!"
White men are stupid. Are these people crazy? Do you want to watch Spider-Man played by an Asian?"
"Man, is it so good-looking?"
"Nonsense, why should we grab tickets if it doesn't look good? Simply the best movie in the past 5 years! Go aside, don't block me"
"ah?"
The white male general was skeptical and planned to queue up to buy tickets, but the queue was already very long.
"Jessica, how about we go back?"
"snort. J
[Go to read the novel on the site: Novels Knights] essica sneered,"I just bought the tickets, so I bought one." Don't you want to see it? Go back by yourself"
"ah?"
The white man's intestines are filled with regret. If he had known that he had just bought the ticket, he would have been able to play third base after watching the movie in the evening.
Now he is probably in trouble.
He is wondering, is"Spider-Man" played by Asians really good? Why? Why are these people going crazy to grab tickets?
Not only the theaters near Hollywood in Los Santos, but also theaters in other areas are gradually buying more and more fans of"Spider-Man" for zero-point screenings.
...
Time Warner headquarters building, CEO Dick Parsons is listening to reports from subordinates
"So, what do the media at the scene think?"
"Mr. Parsons, I'm afraid we've hit a rough patch with"Superman Returns.""
Compared with Marvel selling copyrights everywhere,
DC copyrights are all in the hands of Warner.
There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Warner has a large scale and it is easier to develop IP.
The disadvantage is that it has higher management requirements. If the management is not reliable, the entire DC universe will rot in the hands of Warner.
Relying on the live-action movies of"Superman" and"Batman", Warner did start a boom in live-action comic adaptations before the 1990s.
Michael Keaton's"Batman" Become the last swan song of superhero movies
"The combination of three bad movies:"Batman Forever","Batman & Robin" and"Catwoman" severely damaged DC's vitality and completely destroyed the live-action comic book movie market.
The DC IP has been almost destroyed.
While Sony is preparing for"Spider-Man", Warner Bros. is actually not idle either.
They started investing in the filming of"Superman Returns", hoping to re-ignite the live-action comic book market.
It's just that the news about"Asians playing Spider-Man" is relatively hot, while"Superman Returns" doesn't have much news for the time being.
The filming of the film has been completed and the quality is quite satisfactory.
If"Spider-Man" didn't cause trouble,"Superman Returns" might still be on the top 10 box office lists of the year.
However, just when they were scheduled to release Christmas,"Spider-Man" suddenly attacked and caught Warner by surprise!
CEO Dick Parsons can only hope for Spider-Man's reputation. If the reputation is bad, Superman will still be able to turn around.
"Don't worry, according to our theater information, the pre-sale box office of"Spider-Man" is not high, and I'm afraid it won't even make it into the top five in India. Our"Superman" is capable of fighting"
"Let's do some statistics again and see what the attendance rate was on the night of the premiere!"
Dick Parsons has an ominous premonition. This battle between"Superman" and"Spider-Man" may not be very good.
...
On the other side, Sony headquarters.
Sony India Chairman Howard Stringer is also worried.
"What's going on? Isn't the reputation very good? Why is the attendance rate still not high on the first day?"
"There is no way, mainly because we are too disadvantaged in the early stage, Asian Spider-Man, and the live-action movie is weak, everyone needs some time"
"Okay, let's not count on the box office in the first weekend and strive for subsequent growth."
Howard Stringer commanded resolutely:
"Work harder and lay out some more exposure. Shopping malls and TV commercials are all over the place! Collect media reviews and start another wave of publicity!"
Just when Sony executives were nervous and worried about the box office performance of"Spider-Man", many of the first audiences at the film's premiere had already gone home.
The first thing they did when they got home was to empty their bladders. The movie was really There is no point in peeing, and the theater toilets are full of people.
The second thing!
Open social networking sites, open Facebook, open blogs, open online chat rooms, open comic fan forums, open movie forums!
In short, the first batch of people who have watched"Spider-Man""Movie fans, I have a lot to talk about!
It's that feeling of not being unhappy after watching a super, super good movie!
"Before the 0 o'clock premiere of"Spider-Man", the movie's reputation is about to explode!
