Rebirth In Hollywood

The black Acura car set off from Hollywood Boulevard and drove eastward past the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel where the first Academy Awards ceremony was held. Sitting in the back seat, Ryan watched the Chinese Theater and the huge The Hollywood and Highland shopping center in the shopping center, looked back, and looked further afield through the front windshield.

The famous huge Hollywood sign seems to be welcoming everyone who enters Vanity Fair. Just today, the media and movie fans from all over the world gathered at the resplendent and magnificent El Capitan Theater not far from the sign.

The premiere of "The Avengers" was held here.

After getting out of the car provided by the sponsor of the film, Ryan signed a few autographs at will, and walked through the long red carpet.

After him, "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, "Hulk" Mark Ruffage, "Hawkeye" Jeremy Renner, "Black Widow" "Woman" Scarlett Johansson, "Rocky" Tom Hiddleston, "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Samuel Jackson, director Joss Whedon and Marvel Pictures Kevin Feige successively show up.

In addition, many other stars came to join in.

The scene was star-studded, fans screamed deafeningly, and the atmosphere was warm and hot.

Among them, Robert Downey Jr. drove the Iron Man's Acura sports car directly onto the red carpet, which aroused the madness of reporters and movie fans, and made the person who was fully responsible for the expenses of the premiere Honda laughed.

Maintaining the consistent style of Disney's commercial films in recent years, "The Avengers" has a large number of embedded advertisements, as many as 27 manufacturers, and paid a total of 128.7 million US dollars in advertising sponsorship fees for this film. Created a new record for Hollywood film advertising revenue.

Advertising revenue and the entry of overseas pre-sales have also eased the financial pressure on Disney.

Standing in front of the advertising poster with the names of the sponsors written all over it, Ryan and five other comrades-in-arms let the reporters in front of them take pictures.

This film can be said to be the most anticipated and watched film after "Avatar". More than 500 journalists from all over the world gathered in front of the El Capitan Theater.

It is no exaggeration to say that even before it was released, "The Avengers" stole all the limelight of the summer file.

The global pre-sale of the film kicked off a month ago, and even movie theaters and ticketing websites were caught off guard by the fan frenzy. The pre-sale amount for the first three days in North America was initially estimated to be as high as more than 150 million US dollars. Ninety-five percent of Hollywood movies are out of reach of a number.

And that's just three days of pre-sales for The Avengers in one region in North America.

In addition to Disney, theater operators also attach great importance to this film.

One of the largest theater chains in North America launched the "Ultimate Surprise Marathon" event in several of its large theaters, that is, starting from 11:30 am on May 6, it will continuously screen the 5 surprise superhero movies that paved the way for this film. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and then premiere of The Avengers at midnight on the 6th.

The ticket price for this event though is as high as $40. However, the pre-sale movie tickets have already been snatched up by movie fans, and the theaters had to add more shows urgently.

The film is also highly anticipated overseas. The remaining English-speaking friends zone, the movie tickets for the zero-point show are sold out early, and the 3D and imax versions of the first three days are hard to find. In order to see the film as soon as possible, many fans simply carry sleeping bags. Queuing up all night attracted media from these areas to go to interview and report.

"Hi, Stephen."

when entering the theater. Ryan saw the person in charge of DreamWorks and heard him say hello. Spielberg hurried over and shook hands with him, "Ryan... I think the distribution agreement between DreamWorks and Disney can be signed."

"After the premiere. I will urge someone to discuss with you as soon as possible." Ryan nodded.

After ending the cooperation with Paramount, although no new works have been released so far, DreamWorks has launched several film projects after receiving Ryan's loan. Now Disney Pictures, which has clearly become the number one giant in Hollywood, has naturally become Spielberg's first choice for cooperation.

"I heard that you are preparing "Lincoln"?" Ryan asked as the two walked towards the screening hall. "I read a novel some time ago, it seems to be called "Vampire Hunter Lincoln"..."

"That's not about my movie." Spielberg shrugged.

Even once great leaders can be spoofed by Hollywood. This is the so-called creative freedom that Hollywood has spent decades building.

"The content of the film is about the Constitutional Amendment." Spielberg looked at Ryan. "You are not interested in this role, are you?"

"Stephen." Ryan pointed to himself, "Do you think I look like Abraham Lincoln?"

The old Jewish man was joking, of course, and the two walked to the front row while chatting, and sat in their respective seats.

"Ryan."

Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to him, came over and asked, "I heard from Nat that you plan to put "Warcraft" on the big screen?"

"That's right."

Ryan looked at her, "The preliminary preparations will start in the second half of the year."

"I read the script you put with Nat." Scarlett thought for a while, "It doesn't seem to have much to do with the game setting."

"No way." Ryan shook his head. "This is not a fan movie. We can't please game fans while also pleasing a larger number of fans who don't care about games."

The theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, gradually became quieter. Fans and media reporters came in behind. Airen was mixed with the crowd, and finally sat at the boundary between the fan area and the reporter area, not far from him. , sat a reporter from Yahoo Entertainment and a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.

"Finally the day has come."

A man next to him just sat down, and said to his companion on the other side, "It's been eight years since "Captain America" ​​was released, and I finally waited until the Avengers were assembled."

The man's companion also lamented, "I was in middle school when I first heard about Marvel's Avengers, and I'm about to graduate college now."

Hearing what they said, Iron sighed softly. He had waited too long for this day. Thinking back a few years ago, he went to Louisiana to watch the on-site filming of "Captain America". Almost eight years have passed.

It's been a long wait, one that lasted nearly eight years.

"The film is highly anticipated."

Another voice came over, but it was the two reporters who were close at hand were discussing the issue of the film, "But this film contains too many characters, especially Thor, Iron Man and Captain America as the Big Three, The images and personalities are very distinct. How to integrate them together is a big problem. If it is not done well, the film will become a hodgepodge. Don’t forget that Joss Whedon’s last hodgepodge "Firefly" was a complete failure. do."

"I heard that Marvel's original director candidate was Jon Favreau, but he has no confidence in himself."

Another reporter said, "Joss Whedon took the position of director because of Ryan's strong recommendation. I have confidence in him."

"Is it because you have confidence in Ryan's vision?" The reporter from Yahoo Entertainment pointed to the essence of the facts.

"Isn't that so?" said the Los Angeles Times reporter. "From the earliest days when he insisted on Spielberg directing Jurassic Park to betting heavily on James Cameron, any director he appointed has screwed up the movie. ?"

"It seems..." Yahoo Entertainment's reporter tried to recall, "It's really not."

This must be a successful work!

Unlike the two journalists, Iron is full of confidence in "The Avengers", and he believes that this film will dedicate a wonderful show for them.

The lights on the ceiling went out row after row, and the theater fell into complete silence. When the big screen was lit up, after the iconic Marvel Studios opening, there was the classic Disney Castle, and then the movie went straight to the point!

The first to appear is not any of the six heroes, but the villain Loki, and there is a flashy back of him.

As a veteran comic and movie fan, Yi Lun immediately thought that the figure behind must be Thanos.

He is the super of this movie? Or the ultimate villain of the entire series?

After briefly recalling the trailer, Aeron confirmed that the latter is more likely.

The film inherits the consistent tradition of Disney's films, the rhythm is very fast, there is no muddy place, and it goes straight to the theme and conflict. In less than five minutes after the opening, the big villain Loki stood at the experimental base of S.H.I.E.L.D. Zhong Da killed the Quartet, and at the same time used the scepter in his hand to instigate the rebellion of Hawkeye Button and others.

The opening battle was also exciting enough. The scenes of gun battles, car chases, explosions, and plane crashes were all presented on the big screen. Seeing the realistic special effects with almost no flaws, Yiren and the surrounding audience felt surprised and full of Disney. sincerity.

Why do audiences enter the theater?

Disney is clearly aware of this and has come up with the visual feast they most want to see.

"From now on, we are at war!"

Nick Fury's words were like drums beating in their hearts. Many people understood that after the opening preparations were done, the dinner was about to be served.

"What do we do?" Agent Coulson asked Nick Fury.

No one answered, the film answered with the title The Avengers!

"Oh, she's so hot!"

A low sigh sounded from the side, "The black widow is still as beautiful and sexy."

"And she's just as good at it."

It's a fast, furious fight that showcases Natasha Normanoff fighting the way she does best, and she's a key figure in bringing the Avengers together. (to be continued...)
