The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 373: The Old Truck Driver

Several times of test screenings were well received, and the trailer won acclaim, which made Sony Columbia Pictures full of confidence in Spider-Man. The North American premiere was held at the famous Lincoln Center in New York. Premiere invites sent out.

It was as if the movie was a success before it was even released.

There are also many people who came here spontaneously. Since Spider-Man was born, he has attracted too many fans.

This is the real number one superhero of Marvel Comics. Like Batman and Superman, it is also an enduring legendary comic hero. There are too many people who have become diehard fans of Spiderman.

Of course not Ronan, the main reason for coming to the premiere this time is because of Marvel.

Another reason is that the famous James Cameron is an avid Spiderman fan and will definitely come to the premiere.

At present, apart from Marvel itself, the ones that hold the most copyrights of Marvel comic superheroes are 20th Century Fox and Ronan’s Shahai Entertainment.

To be precise, the former has more characters who own the copyright, after all, it has almost emptied the character copyright of X-Men.

The premiere was full of little spiders, and there were countless people in Peter Parker's red and blue uniforms.

Ronan took a general look, and then entered the VIP reception room of the theater. Even in the theater, fans could still hear the fanatic shouts.

It can only be said that Spider-Man's influence is too great, and it is currently not comparable to second-line heroes like Iron Man.

Furthermore, in order to promote and promote this film, Sony Columbia Pictures not only spent huge sums of money, but also thought of many special methods.

For example, the theft of the costumes specially designed and produced by Sony Entertainment Studios for Spiderman was a hot entertainment news in 2001. Although Columbia Pictures had enough spares, there was no risk of delaying the filming, but they still paid out every A high reward of 50,000 U.S. dollars for one piece of costume has won countless eyeballs.

Even the big Hollywood companies are quite able to fight for the effect of publicity.

In this day and age, if you don't want to use a special way of publicity, it's really hard for eye-catching news to appear.

Throwing things and offering rewards seems to be a good way, and even Ronan feels that he has learned a lot.

in the VIP room,

Ronan once again saw Peter Parker's vengeful face on the poster. Toby McGuire was born with a sad look. Thinking about the later escaped Spider-Man, it can only be said that the film is like this. Things are really deeply influenced by the social environment.

In this day and age, if you come out with a chatty and jumpy version of the little spider, I wonder if it will hit the street?

It seems very likely.

Ronan looked at the characters on the poster one by one, and the main actors were basically the ones he remembered.

The little Green Goblin played the role of Fu Lanlan who was made to be ecstasy by the Mi Bunny in his memory; Mary Jane was still Kirsten Dunst. Billy Maguire's shocking kiss left an extremely profound impact on people.

Aunt Mei is old, not the sexy and beautiful version.

And Uncle Ben, Marvel's first mouthpiece...

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, which meets the needs of today's society. Today's America also needs responsible heroes.

Hi, Ronan.

There was a voice of greeting, and Ronan turned his head to look, only to see Avi Arad, the current head of Marvel Comics, had walked over.

Hi, Avi. Ronan greeted equally politely.

Avi Arad came to Ronan's side and said, After X-Men, Spider-Man is finally about to be released.

Ronan nodded slightly: I like Spider-Man very much, but unfortunately the copyright has long been in the hands of Sony Columbia.

It's still that Marvel didn't do well enough, so that their children can only live outside. Avi-Arad sighed helplessly, and then asked: When will the copyrights obtained by Shahai Entertainment be adapted into movies?

There is no need to lie about this kind of thing, Ronan said directly: I plan to start planning in two to three years. He saw that Avi Arad seemed to have an opinion, and said first: I want to realize the setting in the comics. And the effect, the film must be high investment, my funds are a bit tight at present, I can't invest tens of millions of dollars to make a bad film, right?

Avi-Arad swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Ronan said again: If these superheroes are made into bad movies, I will also be sorry for Marvel's trust.

Avi Arad is really speechless, can it be said that you can shoot with confidence, we don't care? He sort of discovered why the Robert Lee he had been in contact with was so difficult. It turned out that the boss he was with was a difficult person.

I hope you can inform Marvel after you have made a good shooting plan. Avi Arad was a little helpless, and the sold child couldn't reach out: Marvel will do its best to assist you.

Ronan said with a smile: We have made a plan and will send you a formal notice. He glanced at Avi Arad: We will cooperate for a long time in the future.

Avi Arad thought Ronan was talking about the dozens of superhero movie adaptations, and he didn't dispute that.

Ronan said a few more polite words to Avi Allard, and then went elsewhere.

In the past two years, his attention to the entire Marvel Comics has not diminished at all. The life of Marvel Comics is still difficult. The comic industry has not been very prosperous. Although Marvel is expanding to the surrounding area relying on the comic business, it is just trying to maintain it. .

If it weren't for the huge increase in sales of related comics after the release of X-Men, Marvel's situation might be even worse.

Ronan saw Chris and went over to chat with him.

The success of this Spider-Man is not a problem. Ronan asked directly: How many films does Columbia Pictures plan to make?

Chris is very straightforward: As long as it can be successful, of course we will keep shooting.

Ronan thought for a while and said, I also have some movie copyrights for Marvel superheroes. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate.

Chris smiled: I don't count this if I say it.

He thought that Ronan wanted to come over to take advantage of the popularity of Spider-Man, and use Spider-Man to bring those second-line superheroes that Shahai Entertainment got.

Based on his personal standpoint, Chris does not object to cooperating with Ronan, but the company cannot pass the test at all.

Now that Spider-Man has a bright future, Sony Columbia Pictures will not easily let others share the dividend.

Ronan clicked to stop and did not continue to discuss this topic. After seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and James Cameron chatting together, he took the initiative to find it.

Hi, Leo. Ronan took the initiative to greet Leonardo: I didn't expect to see you here.

Leonardo nodded to Ronan and said, I have been friends with Toby for many years, and of course I want to attend his premiere.

Ronan knew that Leonardo and Tobey Maguire were good friends, and Tobey Maguire was able to enter the scope of Sony Columbia's audition because of Leonardo's introduction.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Leonardo's matchmaking, Tobey Maguire would not have been able to get the role of Peter Parker.

The importance of personal connections in this circle can be seen.

Ronan then looked towards Leonardo, smiled and said, Hello, Director Cameron, I'm Ronan Anderson from Relativity Entertainment.

James Cameron shook hands with Ronan and said, Mr. Anderson, nice to meet you.

Ronan saw James Cameron himself for the first time, and James Cameron then introduced him to a woman next to him, Susan Amis, James Cameron's fifth wife .

The same style as the previous ones, belonging to the typical big-boned woman.

Of course, compared to Catherine Bigelow, Susan Amis feels a little weaker.

Catherine Bigelowna was stronger and taller than the average man.

It can only be said that James Cameron is worthy of being a truck driver, and he drives all truck types.

Director Cameron, since Titanic, there is no news about your new movie. I don't mean documentaries. Ronan asked specifically: I have been your fan since Terminator, I don't know When can I see your new movie?

This is a rare truth for Ronan. In his previous life, his knowledge of Hollywood movies began when he saw the videotape of Terminator 2 when he was in his early tenth year.

Because it was a pirated version, the video tape only had the first half, not the second half. It was not until a few years later that I saved enough money to buy the second half.

I'm experimenting with some new technology. James Cameron replied politely: Until the new technology meets my needs, I will not start a new film project.

Despite knowing what new technology James Cameron was talking about, Ronan asked, Can you know what new technology it is?

James Cameron put it bluntly: Improving 3D technology for movies.

Ronan nodded slightly and said, I hope you can finish it as soon as possible.

Thank you, James Cameron said with a smile.

Ronan didn't continue to ask about the new movie. Today is the first time he met James Cameron, and it would be too shallow to talk too much.

There is plenty of time and opportunity to contact James Cameron again.

The topic naturally turned to the Spider-Man movie by Ronan. James Cameron is one of the famous Spider-Man diehard fans. In the 1990s, he almost adapted the Spider-Man movie, and this In the first Spider-Man, many places have borrowed from the settings in James Cameron's original script, such as the spider silk launcher being launched directly from the human wrist and so on.

Even the somewhat heavy and dark theme of the film actually comes from James Cameron's setting.

It can be said that James Cameron's script in the 1990s had a profound influence on this Spider-Man trilogy.

After chatting with Spider-Man for a while, the people in the VIP room walked towards the movie hall one after another. Before leaving, Ronan exchanged personal contact information with James Cameron so that he could contact James Cameron later .
