June 7.
Huaxia Grand Theatre.
The premiere of “Spider-Man” took place here.
“Spider-Man” is one of the most important film projects of the year for Sony Columbia, so not only the crew members came, but also the president of Toei, Yuken Shimauchi, who has always disliked participating in such events.
At this time, he was in the theater and asked Ian Bryce, who was the filmmaker.
“Have you seen the finished film? How does it feel? Can it be a big hit at the box office? ”
Ian Bryce’s expression was strange, mixed with trepidation and confidence.
As So’s business in Colombia is declining, he, the head of the production department, is also under great pressure.
The project of the “Spider-Man” movie was first proposed by him, and the choice of Martin to play Peter Parker was also proposed by him~
If the movie fails, he will roll up and get out.
But after watching the finished film, he is very confident, because the quality of the finished film is really high.
However, quality belongs to quality, in Hollywood, the box office of movies has always been metaphysics, and good quality does not mean that the box office is high.
For example, what is the box office of “The Shawshank Redemption”, a movie that perfectly meets the aesthetics of Americans, after its release?
28.8 million US dollars, and its production cost exceeded 26 million US dollars, which was a box office tragedy that year.
No matter how awesome its reputation is, everyone just doesn’t like to go to the cinema to watch it.
Of course, that’s another story after the tape sold out.
So, in the face of Xiong Ken on the island’s inquiry, Ian Bryce said after being entangled for a while:
“There’s no doubt about the quality of the film, as for the box office…”, he thought about it for a while, and then played a trick with his words, “This is the movie Martin has seen, and he has never failed.” ”
Shimauchi Xiongjian really hit the trick, nodded and smiled: “Yes, Martin is willing to act, which means that he is optimistic about this movie.” And “X Police” released in 2000 is also a Marvel adaptation, and the box office is not bad, I believe “Spider-Man” will not be bad. ”
Ian Bryce breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, “This is what you think, I didn’t say it!” ”
At this moment, there was an incomparably loud cheer outside.
Ian Bryce laughed, “Mr. President, it should be Martin here.” ”
…………
On the red carpet, Martin looked at the dense crowd on both sides, as well as the densely raised posters of “Spider-Man”, and a sense of pride arose.
All eyes are on me!
In the Gods and Demons Continent, he had never been treated like this!
In front of the bigwigs of the succubus clan, he was just an inconspicuous little one.
It’s still a good world!
After a slight sigh, Martin waved to the fans on both sides in a friendly way, in exchange for an even louder sound.
“Terrible popularity!” A journalist exclaimed.
“This is Martin, it seems that since his debut, his popularity has been rising all the time, I have never seen a star like this! Didn’t he have a period of slumber? Another reporter said.

“His vision for choosing films and roles is so good, all of them are classics.” Another reporter said.
“Picking? In addition to “The Lord of the Rings” and this “Spider-Man”, Martin starred in movies written by himself! It should be said that he is too good at grasping the market. A reporter retorted.
“And his image, not disabled like many other child stars, tall and handsome, with a charming temperament!” A female reporter said.
“Indeed, since watching “The Lord of the Rings”, I don’t think there is any other male vase role that can surpass him, and the role of Legolas will definitely become a classic in film history.” Another female reporter said.
“And Martin is not just a vase, his acting skills are also commendable, has there ever been such an actor in the 100 years since Hollywood was founded?”
Amid the reporters’ discussions, Martin walked to the interview area.
The first question turned out to be about The Matrix.
“Martin, the North American box office of “The Matrix” has broken 4, and the global box office has also broken 600 million, what do you think of this box office?”
Martin pretended indifferently: “I don’t have any feelings, you know, because I got it easily, and humans don’t have any feelings about what they can easily get.” ”
The second question is about Spider-Man.
“Martin, do you have anything to say about the movie Spider-Man?”
Martin continued to maintain a calm mood and said: “I think it will be a big hit, and the little spider will become a classic character in Marvel movies, which reminds every ordinary audience not to forget that they have the right to dream.” I think you’re going to love Peter Parker after watching the movie! ”
The third question has nothing to do with “Spider-Man”.
“Martin, a year ago, you mentioned in an interview that you did not support the American war in Afu Khan, and you predicted that the war would not end anytime soon. At that time, many people were refuting you, laughing at you, thinking that you were grandstanding, but now a year has passed, and our army has been mired in the quagmire in Afu Khan, proving that you are right. So what do you have to say about that? ”
Martin took a serious look at the reporter’s badge, then pretended to be surprised, and said:
“The Washington Post? I remember you were the one who contradicted me and laughed at me, why, do you want me to start scolding you now? ”
Laughter rang out.
The reporter was not angry, but said, “It’s okay to scold us, as long as you can say something.” ”
“Okay, okay, you are a good journalist, I still insist on my opinion, the United States should withdraw its troops from Afu Khan as soon as possible, and the lives of American soldiers should not be wasted on the other side of the ocean tens of thousands of miles away, and now you can stop the loss in time.”
“Of course, I can’t influence what the government thinks, I can only make my personal suggestions. Because I know that we cannot win this war across the ocean, because we have never won, and the battle between Vietnam and the DPRK proves this! ”
(PS: It’s also strange to say that the United States is a country that has never lost on the battlefields of America, Europa, Africa, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, and has never won on the battlefields of East Asia and Central Asia. ）
“It was a complete mistake to start the war in the name of counter-terrorism. Even if Mr. President wants to take back my Presidential Medal of Freedom, I will say this! ”
Martin concluded.
Whoa~!
Loud applause rang out.
A year ago, Martin’s anti-war rhetoric was not very popular with the public, arguably barely supported it except for his die-hard fans, and there was little applause after the interview.
Now, Americans are clearly feeling the difficulty of their war in Central Asia, and the huge amount of money invested and the increasing death toll are beginning to change the minds of many Americans.
In particular, there are also the lessons of the Vietnam War and the Korean War, and more and more people are not optimistic about this war, fearing that Afu Khan will drag the United States into the quagmire like the former.
Surprised, but not too surprised, Martin nodded to the crowd and left the interview area.
(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) Again).
