After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Page 161

Fans, as the foundation of their existence in the Hollywood entertainment circle, Kevin certainly would not do anything that would hurt his popularity, and Kevin knew this very well.

Some celebrities, after being famous for a long time, can easily lose sight of ordinary fans, but Kevin doesn't.

As soon as they entered the scene, the person in charge of organizing the premiere ceremony quickly greeted them.

"Director Kevin, the premiere is ready. People from the major media are already here and waiting for you."

Kevin nodded, adjusted his appearance, and then walked towards the front of the stage.

As soon as he took the stage, the media, who had been impatient for a long time, came over one after another and asked various questions.

However, they have been tempered for so long. In this regard, Kevin has long been an old fritter.

The words were impeccable, and the answers were very business-like. Once the process was completed and red envelopes were presented, the reporters naturally knew what to say and what not to say.

Kevin is not just an ordinary director, he also has a film company that ranks among the top ten in Hollywood.

At the same time, he is a billionaire.

All these identities made the reporter dare not offend him casually.

Do you really think that journalists can have absolute freedom? In front of these powerful figures, freedom is always relative.

At the same time, Nun Russ Cage, Robert Downey Jr., and the leading actors of Spider-Man took turns to be interviewed.

The whole process lasted two hours.

After satisfying the needs of the majority of movie fans to watch stars, it is time for the movie to be officially released.

The large movie hall, which can accommodate 200 people, is full of seats.

There were no less than a thousand moviegoers who came here this time. After the premiere, the theaters rushed to arrange so many audiences.

It was finally arranged.

But among them, the [-] viewers who were able to participate in the premiere with Kevin and the others were undoubtedly the luckiest.

The leading actors of the movie, the behind-the-scenes personnel all sit in the first row, and the audience behind.

Soon, the movie will start showing.

The auditorium, which was still slightly noisy, quickly fell silent, and all the audience turned their attention to the big screen.

····

The plot of Spider-Man is very simple. A nerd, a nerd in school, suddenly gets an adventure and becomes a superhero.

This is a routine used by many commercial films in Hollywood.

In terms of story structure, Spider-Man is mediocre and invincible.

But the simpler the story structure, the better it can reflect the director's skill.

Just like the quality of a chef can be seen from a plate of fried rice with eggs.

At the beginning of the plot, through a few simple scenes, the image of Peter Parker, the bullied nerd, is vividly displayed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene of visiting the rare spider, through the various hints of the music screen, let the audience know that the plot is about to reach a turning point.

The spider bit Peter.

Then everything changed.

Peter Parker, no longer a mortal.

For film theory, this moment is the moment when the audience has the strongest sense of substitution.

The protagonist, from an ordinary person, has evolved into a human being who is no longer ordinary.

The audience will also imagine what it would be like to have such an adventure.

The core of all film and television works is to create a sense of expectation and substitution.

If the audience can watch the beginning and want to see the end, then the movie is a success.

And Kevin's Spider-Man, in addition to retaining the exciting scenes that the original work should have, did not focus too much on the excessive scenes, but cut through them at the fastest speed.

The pace of the entire movie was sped up, and the extra time was given to more content of the Marvel Universe.

The full rhythm made the audience mesmerized and watched with bated breath throughout.

At the end of the picture, Spider-Man Peter Parker is swinging in the city, and the Stark Building is his background board.

In the picture, a small Iron Man armor descends from the sky and enters Stark Tower.

On the ground, a skeleton riding a flame motorcycle galloped wildly.

Among the audience, some with good eyesight and fans of Marvel comics exclaimed:

"Is that Ghost Rider and Iron Man?"

Huge surprises filled the hearts of such audiences.

Movie fans who come here to watch movies fall into three categories.

The first category is those who are attracted by promotional films and just like to watch commercial films. This type of audience is the largest, and it is also the target that any film company needs to strive for.

The second category is the fans of Steve Kevin, they fanatically love all the works of Steve Kevin, this is a typical fan.

The third category is Marvel fans.

Comics fans, and those IP fans who grew up listening to and watching Marvel comics.

Among them, the first type of audience is the most, and the third type of audience is the second most.

As for Kevin's fans, they are the fewest.

Spider-Man, with Kevin's take on it, was a huge surprise for comic book fans.

Ordinary commercial film audiences also expressed their admiration for the film.

Chapter 237 Spider-Man's Amazing First Day Box Office

This is definitely a top commercial production.

Perhaps it is not as deep as The Dark Knight, it is not liked by film critics, and its reputation will be relatively poor.

But its audience, beyond the Batman Dark Knight style.

To put it simply, this style of theme will make more money than Batman and the Dark Knight.

As for Kevin's fans, needless to say.

The movie deservedly got their love.

Amidst the cheers, the premiere of Spider-Man came to an end.

And Kevin also followed his promise, and started the signing session at the entrance of the cinema.

After signing hundreds of signatures and making it to ten o'clock in the evening, Kevin finished his work and returned to the villa.

···

"You're back."

Helen hurried out to help Kevin remove the outer suit.

The weather in July was quite hot. Although there was an air conditioner in the cinema, it still made Kevin sweat all over with too many people.

In the bathroom, the second daughter helped Kevin clean up his personal hygiene, and everything happened smoothly.

It was a good show of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

-------------------------------------

Early the next morning, Kevin came to the company energetically.

The uninterrupted practice of the Eight Vajra Kung Fu has made his physical condition better and better. With the addition of various health supplements, Kevin's current physical condition is no worse than when he just graduated.

Along the way, he greeted various employees, and then Kevin got into his office.

After the data was sent around three o'clock in the afternoon, Kevin would know whether Spider-Man was successful or not.

Lying reclined on the sofa in the office, Kevin looked at the elderly phone in his hand, and suddenly missed the smart phone.

Unfortunately, there are still ten years before the rise of Apple, and there is no hope in the short term.

Mitt and Zack Schneider, the two live treasures, also ran over shortly after Kevin came in.

They each took a few newspapers in their hands and began to fight.

Kevin didn't care about them, he just picked up some bestsellers from the bookshelf beside him and read them.

There are countless treasures in the memory of the previous life.

But not everything, Kevin remembers it clearly, sometimes some triggering medium is needed.

For example, Kevin may not remember some movies adapted from best-selling books.

"Spider-Man, a purely entertaining movie, a void as dark as space and boring, without any meaningful content, there is only one thing, and that is entertainment."

Mitt deliberately read a bad review from a film critic, and then looked at Kevin's expression.

But to Mitt's disappointment, Kevin's face didn't change at all, as if he didn't care about these bad reviews at all.

Mitte couldn't help complaining:

"Kevin, aren't you angry when film critics criticize you?"

While complaining, Mitter read two more negative comments.

"The more and more disappointing Oscar best director, Steve Kevin, seems to have lost the courage to fight since he won the Oscar, and the films he shoots tend to be more and more pure entertainment. For this, I am very disappointed, a big director should not be like this, he should shoot more meaningful movies, I hope that in the future, he can realize this and change himself."

"Garbage, it's all garbage, and Steve Kevin's movies are getting more and more garbage."

"..."

Kevin glanced at Mitt, and said as usual:

"Don't pay too much attention to the opinions of film critics. This is what you should learn from the beginning as a director."

"He does what he wants, and the movie he thinks is not good, so can't he make it himself?"

"Okay, there are audience comments, so there is no need to have an extra film critic out of thin air."

Mitt rolled his eyes.

"Then Kevin, what if others call Spider-Man meaningless?"

Kevin was speechless.

"Do movies need connotations?"

"Don't ask me such stupid questions in the future."

Mitt smiled.

Having been with Kevin for so long, he knows that commercial or entertainment is what Kevin pursues. As for the connotation, he may or may not have it.

The premise is that it does not affect the viewing of the film.

Even he and Zach Schneider have to admit that there are far more audiences who like to watch purely commercial films than so-called works of art.

And more than one o'clock or two o'clock.

After a brief interruption and some chatting, the time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

The staff of Dawn Company and the theater came to Kevin's office on time to deliver the data of Spider-Man's first day.

Mitte took the data and looked at it.

Then his face became happy, and he couldn't wait to say:

"Guess what was the box office on the first day?"

Zach Schneider was not used to him, and grabbed the data without waiting for him to show off.

"Sixty-eight million dollars!!!"

Zack Schneider almost shouted out this number with a trembling voice.

This box office result once again broke Steve Kevin's first-day box office record, and also created a new Hollywood first-day box office record.
