Chapter 373： The old driver of the truck

After several trial screenings, the response was excellent, and the trailer won praise, which made Sony Columbia Pictures confident in "Spider-Man". The North American premiere was placed in the famous Lincoln Center of the Arts in New York, attracting countless well-known figures in the circle. A premiere invitation was issued.

As if the movie had not been released yet, it had already succeeded.

Many people also come spontaneously. Since the birth of Spider-Man, it has attracted too many fans.

This is the real first superhero under the banner of Marvel Comics. Like Batman and Superman, it is also an enduring legendary comic hero. There are too many people who have become Spider-Man fans.

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

Another reason is that the famous James Cameron is an avid Spider-Man fan and will inevitably come to the premiere.

At present, apart from Marvel itself, the one with the most copyrights of Marvel comics superheroes is the 20th Century Fox, and the second is Ronan's Sand Sea Entertainment.

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

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

Ronan took a general look and entered the VIP reception room of the theater. Even in the theater, the fans' enthusiastic shouts could still be heard.

It can only be said that Spider-Man is too influential, and is currently not comparable to a second-tier hero like Iron Man.

In order to promote this film, Sony Columbia Pictures not only invested a lot of money, but also thought of many special methods.

For example, the costumes specially designed and produced by Sony Entertainment Studios for Spider-Man were stolen. It was the hot entertainment news in 2001. Although Columbia Pictures had enough supplies to avoid any delay in filming, they still released every A high reward of $50,000 for a costume has won numerous eyeballs.

Even the big Hollywood companies are quite capable for publicity.

In this age, it is really difficult to make eye-catching news if you don't want to use special propaganda methods.

Throwing something to offer a reward seems to be a good way, and even Ronan feels that he has learned a hand.

In the VIP room, Ronan once again saw Peter Parker’s bitter and bitter face on the poster. Toby McGuire was born with a sorrowful look. Think about the Spider-Man who escaped later. Speaking of things like movies, it is really deeply affected by the social environment.

In this day and age, a chattering and jumping version of the little spider came out. I wonder if it will rush to the street?

It seems very possible.

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

The role of the Little Green Devil is the ecstatic Hulanlan who was made by Mi Rabbits in my memory; Mary Jane or Kirsten Dunst, this one’s cheekbones are a bit scary, but with the support Bi-Maguire's shocking kiss left an extremely profound impact on people.

Aunt Mei is old-fashioned, not that **** and beautiful version.

And Uncle Marvel’s first mouth...

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This meets the needs of today's society. Today, the United States also needs responsible heroes.

"Hi, Ronan."

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

"Hi, Avi." Ronan greeted equally politely.

Avi-Allard came to Ronan and said: "After "X-Men", "Spider-Man" is finally going to be released."

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

"It's still Marvel's not doing well enough so that our children can only wander outside." Avi-Allard sighed helplessly, and then asked: "When will the copyrights that Shahai Entertainment has acquired, when will they adapt the movie? "

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

Avi-Allard swallowed again when he came to his lips.

Ronan added: "If these superheroes are made into bad movies, I am also sorry for Marvel's trust."

Avi-Allard is really speechless, can you say that you can take pictures with confidence, don't we care? He could be regarded as discovering why the Robert Lee he had been in contact with was so difficult, because the boss he was talking to was a difficult man.

"I hope you can inform Marvel after you have made the filming plan." Avi-Allard was a little helpless, and the children who sold it could not reach out: "Marvel will try its best to assist you."

Ronan smiled and said, "We have made a plan and will send you an official notice." He glanced at Avi-Allard: "We will have a long time to cooperate in the future."

Avi-Allard thought Ronan was talking about the film adaptation of dozens of superheroes, and he had no objection.

Ronan made another courtesy with Avi Allard, and went to other places.

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, and the comics industry has not been very prosperous. Although Marvel is relying on the comics business to expand to the surroundings, it is only trying to maintain it. .

If it weren't for "X-Men" after the release of the comics, the sales of related comics increased sharply, Marvel's situation may be worse.

Ronan saw Chris and chatted with him a few words.

"The success of this "Spider-Man" is not a problem." Ronan asked directly: "Columbia Pictures plans to make a few."

Chris is very straightforward: "As long as we can succeed, of course we will keep shooting."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I also have some Marvel superhero movie rights in my hand. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate."

Chris smiled: "I don't care if I say this."

He thought Ronan wanted to come over to catch the heat of "Spider-Man", and use "Spider-Man" to bring those second-line superheroes that Hot Sands Entertainment got in hand.

From a personal standpoint, Chris did not reject cooperation with Ronan, but the company couldn't pass the hurdle.

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

Ronan stopped talking and didn't continue discussing this topic. After seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and James Cameron who were chatting together, he took the initiative to look for it.

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

Leonardo nodded to Ronan and said, "Toby and I have been friends for many years. Of course, he will attend the premiere."

Ronan knows that Leonardo and Toby Maguire are good friends. Toby Maguire can enter the audition range of Sony Columbia because of Leonardo's introduction.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Leonardo's matchmaking, Toby Maguire could not have the role of Peter Parker.

The importance of personal connections in this circle is evident.

Ronan immediately looked next to Leonardo and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Cameron, I am Ronan Anderson from Relativity Entertainment."

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

This is the first time Ronan has seen James Cameron himself. James Cameron then introduced him to a woman next to him, that is Susan Amis, James Cameron’s fifth wife .

With the same style as the previous ones, she belongs to the typical big skeleton woman.

Of course, compared to Catherine Bigelow, Susan Amis has a somewhat weaker feeling.

Catherine Bigelow is stronger and stronger than most men.

It can only be said that James Cameron is indeed a truck driver, driving all truck types.

"Director Cameron, there has been no news of your new movie since "Titanic". I don't mean documentaries." Ronan asked specifically: "Since "Terminator", I have been your fan, I don’t know. When can I see your new film."

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 ten.

Because of the piracy, the videotape only had the top half, not the second half. It was not until a few years later that I saved all the money to buy the second half.

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

Even though he knew what the new technology James Cameron was talking about, Ronan asked: "Can you know what new technology it is?"

James Cameron said directly: "Improve film 3D technology."

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

"Thank you James Cameron said with a smile.

Ronan did not continue to ask about the new movie. Today is the first time I know James Cameron. It is too simple to say too much.

There is time and opportunity to contact James Cameron again.

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

Even the heavy and dark themes of the film actually come from the setting of James Cameron.

It can be said that the screenplay of James Cameron in the 1990s has a profound influence on this "Spider-Man" trilogy.

After chatting about 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. .
