Rebirth In Hollywood

On the first weekend of August, Marvel Studios held a grand premiere for "The Hulk" at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the second official installment of Marvel's Phase 1 cosmic program after "Captain America." Works, the various cosplayers who are currently sure to appear in the Marvel movie gathered in Los Angeles.

The brains of the Avengers and Captain America is played by Ryan; Scarlett Johansson will continue her Black Widow path; Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man will be out next year; Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury has been playing soy sauce all the time before the general mobilization; Black Widow's blue-eyed confidant is also confirmed to be played by the unknown Jeremy Renner; the most popular Wolverine in the X-Men, Logan, may also join this team.

Of course, the protagonist of this film is the Hulk, and Mark Ruffalo, who has worked hard for many years in Hollywood but has no success, appeared on the red carpet with Kate Beckinsale, who is the film's director. heroine.

After walking into the front hall of the theater and chatting a few words with the people who came over, Ryan found the unusually conspicuous Taylor, who slipped in through the side door and was holding a little girl.

"Lily, you are so beautiful today." Ryan gently rubbed the little girl's hair.

Lily Mo Sheen seemed to have some opinions on his messing up her hair, but unlike Taylor when she was a child, she still greeted politely, "Hello, Godfather."

"Lily, you have to learn to refuse!" Taylor moved out what Ryan had said.

"But...but..." The little girl paused for a while before she came up with the right words to express, "I think this is a way for the godfather to express affection."

Ryan squatted down, helped Lily sort out the crooked princess hairpin, then looked at Tyler, "When did you come back."

"Last night." Tyler took over Ryan's job, "I didn't call you when I came back late. I met Scarlett again this morning, we went to Kate, and then I became Lily's babysitter. ."

"Thank you, sister." Lily looked very well-behaved.

The film is rated pg-13. After entering the hall of the theater, Taylor returned Lily to Kate Beckinsale, joined Scarlett Johansson, and sat next to Ryan. Before the movie started, the two The girl kept muttering, and the intimate seemed to have endless things to say. It didn't stop until the movie started.

Compared to Ang Lee's somewhat literary "Hulk" in the previous life, this is an out-and-out popcorn movie. From the characters to the plot to the theme, there are no obscure and complicated things, and it is extremely simple.

There is no need for such a film to pay attention to too much humanism and to investigate the deep-seated social reasons behind it.

More attention is paid to the requirements of action scenes, especially inheriting the consistent level of action and special effects of the amazing superhero movies. The three action scenes of the Hulk have their own merits, and they are more violent and lasting each time.

The motion capture provided by Mark Ruffalo is albeit slightly flawed. However, it is better than the Hulk who played by Ang Lee himself in the previous life, and it can be considered to be able to cope with the existing movies.

There is nothing to surprise. Everything in the film seems to be well-behaved, and like all heroes in Marvel movies, even if it is misunderstood, the Hulk will fight for America. Thus transformed from a rage into a superhero.

Of course, there are also Easter eggs at the end of the film. Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., makes a graceful appearance. It's a big surprise.

Disney's promotion of "Iron Man" has long been launched, and as time goes on, the Marvel "Avengers" plan is no secret in the eyes of veteran fans.

Obviously, the next superhero movie has to be Iron Man.

The Hulk is an important member of the Avengers. Its movies are actually not easy to shoot. Few people will like characters who are easily angered and unable to control themselves. Even if there are many comic book fans, comics and movies are completely different carriers. , the movie audience is relatively small.

The most direct reflection of this is on the box office. The box office performance of "The Hulk" on the first three days is definitely the lowest in recent years, and even the "Fantastic Four" produced by Paramount Not as good, only got $55.41 million at the North American box office.

The market reaction is within the expectations of Marvel, especially Ryan. Their goal is very simple. Through the later operation, try to recover the cost as much as possible. In the next fifteen years at least, there will be no separate Hulk movies. Other superheroes join forces to appear on screen.

The film invested a total of 150 million US dollars. If you include the Australian government's tax rebate, part of the payment and the offset of the placement of advertisements, the actual total cost is only a little more than 100 million US dollars, and it is not particularly difficult to return the cost.

Luckily there were no particularly strong competitors in August, and the film's second week at the box office remained close to $40 million, thanks in some ways to Sony Columbia Pictures' release of Top Secret Flight this week. too poor.

This aerial popcorn produced by Sony Entertainment costing 135 million US dollars did not please the critics or the audience. It only grossed more than 13 million US dollars in the first three days at the box office. A big-budget commercial that was doomed to fail.

The present-day Sony Columbia Pictures has no life-saving "Spider-Man" series. In recent years, it has been swaying like a tightrope, and it may fall into the abyss like MGM at any time, and it even takes the entire performance of Sony Entertainment. slipping.

Sony has long lost the magic of the last century, and its audio-visual industry is the best performer of all sectors compared to electronic products that have plummeted.

However, these have little to do with Ryan. Presumably the Japanese government is there, and Sony is not so easy to fall into the quagmire.

Now he is sitting in front of the computer in the entertainment room, relaxing with Tyler by playing games.

"I feel a lot of pressure at times."

While waiting for the game characters to log in, Tyler said to him, "It's hard to relax completely, and I don't want to go to the nightclub and have fun like those degenerate guys, so I have to figure out a way myself."

"So you chose to play games?" Ryan didn't mean to blame.

"Only play when the pressure is very high." Taylor's hydrangea stood in Ironforge, and then the elf hunters with long ears who appeared beside him were grouped into a team, and then he continued, "Put All the energy is temporarily put into the world of the game, without thinking about things in reality, the tense nerves will gradually relax, and the pressure will disappear unconsciously."

"Sounds like a good idea." Ryan called out the setting interface, set a few shortcut keys according to the way he played last time, and then opened the equipment bar, vaguely remembering that these purple equipment in the previous life seemed to be the products of high-end dungeons. Can't help asking, "Did you collect this?"

"Where do I have time to collect equipment?" Tyler shook his head slowly, "This is what I called Mr. Adhan on purpose, by the way, he also told me not to tell anyone, Ryan, don't you? Say it to other players in the game."

"Honey, I'm not an idiot." Isn't telling others to smash your company's brand.

"Wow, the guild organized to fight the black dragon." Taylor stared at the chat bar for a while and said, "Let's go too."

These two characters only joined the guild a few days ago, and they are relatively unfamiliar, but after seeing the equipment of the two, the head of the dungeon group immediately called the pair of unreliable guys into a group. Into a large team of forty people.

"Go, go!" Tyler asked, turning to Ryan's screen, "Do you know how to get there?"

Seeing Ryan shaking his head, she immediately grabbed the mouse, and controlled the hunter with long ears to fly to Menethil Harbor, just as a boat came over and got on the boat again, so she used hydrangeas to catch up. Go to the black dragon princess' lair.

"correct."

After getting off the boat, the hydrangea rode in front, and the long-eared hunter rode behind the tiger. Taylor asked on the team channel, "Aren't you writing the script for Warcraft? Is it done?"

"No."

When he could speak, Ryan was too lazy to type. "The outline of the trilogy has been completed, and the first script has been written a lot, but it still needs to be revised."

"Script? What script?"

Hydrangea's words just now obviously caught the attention of others, and a dwarf thief immediately asked, "The script of Warcraft? Is the hunter a playwright?"

"Ah..." Tyler tapped a decimal point.

The dwarf thief seems to know a lot, and he typed very serious words, "I tell you, the copyright of the Warcraft series is in Ryan's hands, do you know who Ryan is? He is the creator of this world, if you remake it randomly, it will be infringing. So, don't think about the mess."

The long-eared hunter remained silent, and Hydrangea asked on the team channel, "You guys say, how will this series be adapted into a movie?"

"We've been waiting." The human warriors in the team also said, "This is definitely the best online game ever made, Ryan's novel has created a whole new world, and we'd love to see the Warcraft series of movies. Version."

"Yeah, yeah..." Other people's words appeared on the team channel.

"If it is adapted..."

For this kind of game that does not reveal identity, Taylor had a lot of fun, and Hydrangea continued to speak, "Who do you want to be the protagonist?"

Everyone was not far from Theramore at this time, and Taylor continued to type on the keyboard, "I personally prefer Jaina Proudmoore."

"I like Anduin Lothar..."

"Muradin? Bronzebeard..."

"Or Arthas Menethil."

In this way, Ryan's hunter followed the hydrangea all the way into the Black Dragon Valley, and met a tribal team at the door of Onyxia's lair. (To be continued..) ()
