Chapter 557

"The pre-sale results of both films are very good."

In the media area in front of the Lincoln Art Center, Joseph kremetz from the Los Angeles Times told Brad hansbain, a familiar reporter for the New York Times, "the city of chaos and Thor don't look particularly strong or bad."

Brad hansbain remembers the pre-sale of the two films: "the pre-sale box office of Thor in the first week was less than 12 million US dollars, and that of city of chaos was less than 10 million US dollars. These two figures are neither high nor low. They are not the omen of a big bang at all."

There was a sudden uproar on the red carpet. Joseph kremetz and Brad hansbain immediately looked over and saw James Franco and Lily Collins on the red carpet.

"It seems that all the stantons are here?" Asked Brad hansbain in a low voice.

Joseph kremetz shook his head. "No, Robert Downey Jr. didn't come."

"Iron man, Tony Stark is not here." Brad - Hans Bain immediately clear, "he is one of the Avengers, it seems to be to participate in the Los Angeles side of the" Thor "premiere."

This is the Lincoln Art Center in Manhattan, the premiere of the city of chaos.

On the same weekend, Raytheon premiered at the Hollywood China Grand Theater in Los Angeles.

The night sky in New York is getting dim gradually. The lights illuminate every inch of the red carpet, but they can't change. The stars above are dyed with thick black. One star after another walks on the red carpet, but they can't attract more attention than the next moment.

One by one, Stanton party members walked down the red carpet, but Robert Downey Jr. didn't come. Just when everyone took it for granted that Robert Downey Jr. must stay in Los Angeles for the premiere of "Thor", a Rolls Royce phantom stopped in front of the red carpet.

When the car door is opened, Robert Downey Jr. steps out of the car and waves to the fans and reporters on both sides of the red carpet. Then he turns back and takes Susan Downey from the car

"He's here!" Brad hansbain was surprised.

Compared with Brad Hans Bain, Joseph kremetz is much more calm. As a reporter in Los Angeles, he knows more about the stantons.

"The friendship between the stantons..." He shook his head and said, "deeper than the outside world thinks."

All of a sudden, in the dark sky, a bright light darted upward, as if something flew into the sky. In the eyes of countless people, the light gradually converged, and finally became a line of letters of Chris Dann in the sky.

Then, Henry Carville, the hero of the film, stepped onto the red carpet.

Looking at the actor of Murphy Stanton's latest film, Joseph kremetz said, "Bry, who do you think has more muscle than Chris Hemsworth?"

"Who knows?" Brad Hans Bain knows that Joseph kremetz is talking about the actor who plays Thor, "but Chris Hemsworth's image is more sunny, and this Henry Carvel always has some gloom on his face."

Joseph kremetz laughs. "It's just right for Murphy Stanton."

Henry Cavell gets closer and closer. Brad Hans Bain and Joseph kremetz take enough pictures and continue to talk about each other.

"Which one do you think will be cannon fodder, Thor or city of chaos?" Asked Brad hansbain.

"The auditions of the two films have a good reputation." Joseph kremetz recalled that "after several auditions of" city of chaos ", there were still some voices in the media that criticized the theme and atmosphere of the film for being too dark, and there were almost no bad comments on Thor, which was a cheering voice."

As a professional reporter who specializes in movies, Brad Hans Bain certainly understands some of the tricks in it. He shrugs and says, "is the audition word-of-mouth accurate? I'll know the situation of these two films when I see the word-of-mouth tomorrow. "

100% praise? Zero difference? This kind of film seems very magical, after the official release, it is often the time when the myth is broken.

Frankly, he doesn't think much of Thor.

Maybe Marvel's entertainment film can get a good box office result, but it's impossible to get a good reputation. Murphy Stanton's "body of steel" elevates the superhero film to a height that other people can't match. With such a really popular superhero film, how can Marvel's fast-food popcorn get a good reputation?

Unfortunately, the scale of Murphy Stanton's films is too large. It's not a typical youth film, otherwise

Brad Hans Bain shakes his head, which is probably the reason why the pre-sale of "city of chaos" is not as good as that of "Thor". He doesn't pay too much attention to visual effects, doesn't pay too much attention to popcorn when he is young, and is not an adaptation with an audience base. Besides Murphy Stanton's own appeal, he doesn't want to join Natalie Portman, the Oscar queen of "Thor" Weak.Many external factors will affect the market performance of a film. Brad Hans Bain also heard that it is not easy for "city of chaos" to get PG-13 rating. It is said that Murphy Stanton has cut some scenes for this purpose. If he does not do so, he will definitely become an R-class film, which will not be able to compete with Thor, a completely young film.

Just then, a tsunami of cheers sounded on the red carpet, as if devout believers saw God coming. Brad hansbain and Joseph kremetz turned to see that Murphy Stanton, holding his girlfriend Gail gado, had already stepped onto the red carpet.

Murphy Stanton is tall, with a strong face and a dark suit, which looks like Michelangelo's hand carved David is alive. Gail gado is tall and slim, with long dark brown hair in a bun, which highlights the whole gorgeous face. The back of the purple dress is trailing behind, and the front of the dress falls to half of the thigh, which makes her legs straight and beautiful Long.

"These two..." Joseph kremetz was very surprised, "it's only talent that can eat with appearance..."

Joseph kremetz knew more or less about Murphy's habits. When he saw them coming, he immediately walked to the interview area. He knew that the couple always walked the red carpet very fast.

Sure enough, he just found a good position, Murphy Stanton and Gail gado have entered the interview area.

As a result of early preparation, Joseph kremetz was the first to come to Murphy and asked, "director Stanton, is there any scene in the film that you can't wait to show to the audience?"

After seeing this reporter for a moment, Murphy thought a little and said, "it can be said that I cherish every shot I shoot. I can't wait to show the audience a lot of shots, especially the action scenes shot in IMAX format. It's really shocking."

After a period of negotiation with Fox in the 20th century, IMAX company has invested considerable resources in "city of chaos". The film will be shown on 105 IMAX screens in North America, with 30 IMAX cinemas showing all day. Next week, at least 43 IMAX cinemas will be added around the world.

The move will not only set the IMAX screen record, but also set a new record for its highest box office in history. At present, it is conservatively estimated that the first week box office of "city of chaos" will exceed $3 million.

"Before, some media criticized your film, especially this film" city of chaos "is too dark. What do you think?" Another reporter asked aloud.

Of course, Murphy would not admit this, and said lightly, "my colleagues and I have worked hard together to ensure that the narrative position of the film is from the perspective that evil can never defeat justice. But I've added some thinking elements from the beginning to make the film style stronger, more intense and more intense. "

After answering the two questions, Murphy ignored the reporter's questions, left the interview area, met Gail gado, stood in front of the sponsor's background board and waited for a while. The main members of the crew and all the Stanton party members came over one after another.

Then there was a stylized process. The crew members took pictures with the sponsors and some guests. It was not until the sun completely set on the horizon that Murphy led the whole crew into IMAX cinema amid the cheers of countless fans.

In the middle, he chatted with Robert Downey Jr. and inquired about the premiere of Raytheon at the Hollywood Theater in Los Angeles.

In the contract between Robert Downey Jr. and marvel pictures, there are only provisions on the premiere of iron man, and there is no agreement on the premiere of other Marvel superhero film projects, so he did not consider participating in the premiere of Raytheon in the past.

It was getting late. Instead of going to the VIP lounge, Murphy went straight into the screening hall.

At the moment when Murphy and others walked in, all the guests and audience in the screening hall stood up to give warm applause to the crew.

Whether the applause is polite or not, it reflects Murphy's reputation and status in the industry to a certain extent.

Before the premiere, there was a small ceremony, which was specially made by 20th Century Fox for publicity. Murphy and the crew would fully cooperate with the special plan.

Just as guests and audiences in this specially renovated IMAX theater are waiting for the film to be released, the Hollywood China Grand Theater on the avenue of stars in Los Angeles is packed with people, and countless Marvel comic fans gather together. The premiere of Raytheon has just entered the red carpet stage.

Chilli Gwyneth Paltrow, black widow Scarlett Johnson, Eagle eyed Jeremy Reiner, and one eyed Samuel Jackson walked down the red carpet one by one, and the cartoon fans on both sides were excited.

Finally, from the red carpet, is the "Thor" crew members, the heroine Natalie Portman with the confidence of the Oscar winner, also walked the red carpet. (to be continued). )
