Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 369 Final blow

   "Oh! My! God! This is perfect!"

   "This is the best movie I've seen this year! This is the best movie I've ever made since the appearance of comics!"

"This isn't a superhero movie anymore! Or rather, James Cameron redefined the genre before anyone else knew how to make a superhero movie! He killed the superhero movie genre! All future superhero movies will live in the shadow of the "Spider-Man" series!"

  When the lights were turned on again, there was already a wave of applause inside the theater.

  Because of the way the ending of the movie was handled, it exceeded everyone's expectations!

Most professionals believe that the production team of "Spider-Man 3" overestimated Harry Osborn's transformation, and put a layer of humanity on him that should have been decent, which made the audience unbearable His failure suppressed the glorious image of Peter Parker as the protagonist to a certain extent. When he had to forcibly sublimate the protagonist's conception through the two solutions that have been recognized as successful in the film industry, James Cameron Walked out of their own third road!

  Let Harry Osborn know everything, and then turn to good again and choose to commit suicide?

nonexistent!

  If Harry Osborn put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately, wouldn't Peter Parker, who was caught in a human choice, become a joke?

  The villain’s ideological awareness is higher than that of the decent?

   You think this is Musashi Kojiro's Team Rocket!

   As for having Peter Parker tell Harry Osborn everything, take on all the hate, and finally die with the villain?

   That's even more impossible!

  If Peter Parker died like this, then what is the need for his previous mental journey?

   It's better to shoot monsters and upgrade according to traditional commercial films, so from the perspective of the scene, it will be more refreshing!

   What's more, even if they all died together, in terms of charm, Harry Osborn is still higher.

  Now he is like Erlang God in "Lotus Lantern" and Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers".

  Because of this, if you want Peter Parker, who is in the process of growing up, to overwhelm the glamorous Harry Osborn, you can only sublimate him with a purpose higher than fate, consciousness, hope, and justice.

   And this idea—

  Only in USA!

In this way, at the press conference after the premiere, when the staff placed a group of chairs on the stage, and the main creative team took their seats one after another, all the media reporters on the scene focused on the first question. above.

And when James Cameron listened to their questions, he held a microphone and looked at Roland Allen next to him, shook his head with a smile, and said, "DNA is not DNA but USA. This is actually not a script. The setting above was changed temporarily at the shooting scene. According to our initial thoughts, the final ending is actually Peter Parker defeating the evil spirit and the Green Goblin II. While recognizing the responsibility of the hero and returning to the position of hero, I also found love."

"But during the filming, Roland told me that using love as the driving force to make Peter Parker a hero again, this setting is actually too similar to Jack saving Ruth because of love, and from the form of expression Generally speaking, Peter Parker, who chose love, is much lower than Harry Osborn in terms of ideological awareness."

"Because Harry Osborn just wanted to seek revenge from the devil and Spider-Man when he mutated, and had no idea of ​​​​destroying the world at all. It wasn't until he found out that his beloved Mary Jane was snatched away by his best brother to extremes.”

"It is precisely because Harry Osborn is more sensible than Peter Parker, so we can have a greater goal to let the ashamed Peter Parker go into trouble, and during our discussion, Roland suddenly told me Said that since Peter Parker has already had a genetic mutation in his body, his DNA is no longer DNA. In this case, what flows in his body who chooses to save New York is no longer blood, but the blood that protects the United States. Responsibility, so, the ending became like this."

"Of course, I also think that this line can perfectly correspond to Ben Parker's 'greater ability comes greater responsibility'. When your ability reaches a certain level, it becomes your responsibility to defend the country, because you, It can bring peace and hope to everyone."

   "And superheroes appear because people have such a beautiful vision in their hearts?"

   Hiss!

   Such an explanation made everyone on the scene gasp!

  The final stroke of genius in the movie was actually changed by Roland Allen himself?

   Link superhero drive to patriotism?

  This ideological awareness is high enough!

When all the guests at the scene focused their eyes on Roland Allen, Roland Allen, who always felt that his image at the end of the film was really handsome, showed a shy smile, because he knew that this kind of modification , It all depends on knowing the king.

  If Wang Weiyu hadn’t been discharged from the hospital, the Onion News wouldn’t be spoofing P pictures.

  If the Onion News hadn’t spoofed Wang Wang, then no one would have imagined that DNA could become such a thing as the USA.

Of course, in reality, this kind of argument is indeed absurd, but in the movie, then this is the best sublimation, just like the straightforward "American Sniper" can be sold at a cost of less than 60 million for nearly 5 points The box office of 500 million is the same.

  The straightforward and rough theme is always the only way to overwhelm all motivations!

And when Roland Allen found out that the guys at the scene wanted to hear his ideas, he raised the microphone and said: "After working with Steven for so many years, even if I haven't produced a movie of my own, but I still understand the method of creation, right?"

   "Not to mention that I also made a guest appearance in "Saving Private Ryan". At the end of the movie, the flying national flag is the source of inspiration!"

   "Hahaha~" All the guests laughed.

  Although Roland's words sounded **** up, it was a fact.

  Because when it comes to shooting the main theme, the Jewish gang said first, and no one dared to say second!

Such as "Forrest Gump", "Independence Day", "Saving Private Ryan", these are all typical commercial films with the main theme, but in the future, even if Hollywood is being stirred up by the Jewish gang, there will be more and more white leftists, but While the Jewish Gang themselves are fighting the fire, they continue to promote the main theme related to the national spirit, just like the white lotus in the prosperous age, which emerges from the mud but is not stained, cleans the ripples and is not demonic, but—

   Full of tea flavor!

   With a simple understanding of the main theme of the question, after getting satisfactory answers from James Cameron and Roland Allen, everyone focused on the idea of ​​the entire movie or the entire series:

  North America’s No. 1 film critic Roger Ebert wanted to know what kind of courage it was that drove James Cameron to make a superhero movie that wasn’t a superhero at all;

  Kenneth Turan would like to know, when creating film and television, isn’t the entire production team afraid that the dull ending of the second film will lead to people’s resistance, so that the third film will fail?

"Variety" columnist Derek Ellie wants to know whether the production team understands that based on the narrative flow of the trilogy, creating the villain of the Green Goblin and his son with flesh and blood, so that the image of Spider-Man can be infinitely elevated, will What kind of influence will it have on the future creation of comic superhero movies?

  Faced with such inquiries, James Cameron's smile never stopped.

  After the host collected the questions one by one, he raised his hand and patted Roland on the shoulder, saying: "Your problems are actually not problems, because Roland can solve them alone."

   "Roland decided to be in, so I had the guts to do a superhero movie that wasn't a superhero at all."

   "I simply don't believe that anyone will find the ending of "Spider-Man 2" dull, because Jack's death is more dull than that."

   "Will the creation of superhero movies of comic book genre be affected in the future?"

   "Don't you just ask him about this and it's over?"

   "Marvel, which has taken back all the takeaway copyrights, is in his hands, and DC's projects will also be contracted by him."

   "He, the boss, doesn't feel any pressure. How can I, a filmmaker, feel pressure?"

   "..."

  The sense of right emanating from James Cameron left the guests stunned.

  Because of the existence of Roland Allen, James Cameron dared to dig deep in commercial films?

   This, this, this...

   This special code is so reasonable!

   Playing with them is simply speechless!

  That's right, in everyone's eyes, the current Roland Allen is actually a walking bug.

  Because of his fan stickiness, it far surpasses everyone in the circle!

After producing different types of commercial hits to the public year after year, day after day, in the eyes of the audience, he can actually be equated with a good movie now, and under this special filter, He can get more time and patience from the audience.

   Don't underestimate this.

  Because people's patience is limited, and creation takes time to structure.

  When a guy can make the audience more patient, then he can spend more time building a better story.

  And this is the cornerstone of continuous success!

   Or in other words, this is the power of the brand!

   "Then how much box office do you think this movie will win?"

   Reporters who feel they have no questions to ask throw out predictions that all movies cannot avoid.

And when Roland felt the hot and curious eyes from the audience, he shrugged with a smile and said: "As my last movie, I certainly hope it will have a good ending, but because it is the final chapter of the series, this book There is a certain threshold for viewing movies, and the combined box office of the previous films just reached the two billion of "Titanic", so..."

   "I can't say enough to you guys that I hope it breaks Titanic's box office record."

   "Don't embarrass me, just watch and estimate one."

  If it were someone else who said this, then these reporters would definitely write a lot after they went back.

Like "The main creative team is not confident, the box office may suffer from Waterloo", "The lead actor is vague about the box office, fearing that the box office will not meet his personal expectations and his value will drop" Ah, "The producer cannot fully evaluate the entire movie, the creation The thinking is worrying' Wait, wait, anyway, how to attract attention, then how to come.

  Can be replaced by Roland Allen, who is at the same level as his own big boss—

   These unscrupulous guys naturally have to promote it according to the real situation of the movie watching scene!

  So, early the next morning, real thoughts flooded the sky, and at the same time as the general election started, they got into people's sight:

   "The best movie of 2000, bar none." - "The Sun"

   “‘Spider-Man 3’ redefines the superhero.” —The Times

   "Although the ending has no suspense, the process is full of surprises, full five stars!" - "Empire"

"If James Cameron taught other directors how to make science fiction films with the "Terminator" series, and taught other directors how to make romantic films with "Titanic", then he will use the "Spider-Man" series Teach other directors how to make superheroes! All previous superhero movies pale in comparison to Spider-Man 3!" - Variety

   "Peter Parker will become the most popular character in the history of comics, because of Roland Allen!" - "Hollywood Reporter"

  Almost all the media participating in the premiere ceremony gave full marks. This kind of enthusiasm coupled with the uncompetitive November schedule allowed "Spider-Man 3" to successfully emerge under the siege of the general election news.

But even so, under the fierce fight between the donkey and the elephant and the use of public resources, people only know that Roland Allen's new movie "Spider-Man 3" will be released on the 16th. The premiere, like previous works, was widely praised by the media, so I can go and see it when the time comes... Apart from that, there is nothing else.

   Such a situation made Roland's fans a little regretful.

  Because judging from the current battle, "Spider-Man 3" has reached one billion, which is already the limit!

  Many people even wrote their own messages on IMDb, telling their helplessness—

   "Although the idea of ​​a ten-year contract is great, the current publicity is too bad for Roland!"

   "Yes, yes! When the general public is paying attention to the general election, and the media resources are all occupied by the donkey party and elephant party, no matter how much money is spent on publicity, "Spider-Man 3" will not come out!"

"That's right! Not to mention that only the blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" will be released in November. With major theaters only lining up films for "Spider-Man 3", many viewers will definitely not rush in as before." Watch it on the first weekend, because as long as you go to the movie this month, you can buy tickets no matter what time it is!"

"I'm not going to rush to watch it on the first weekend, because the ending of "Spider-Man 2" is too depressing. In addition, there was another "Titanic" that Roland died before. time, so this time I want to wait for the feedback from the audience of "Spider-Man 3" before going, in case Peter Parker dies at the end of the movie, then I guess I will suffer for another half a month!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I am actually worried about this issue, especially the reports of "The Times" and "Variety Show", which made me even more shocked! What does it mean to redefine a superhero? Can "Spider-Man 3" and "Endgame" What does it mean compared to "Titanic 2" and "Titanic"? When the two sentences come together, what comes to my mind is tragedy! Because T-800 is dead, Jack is dead, and redefining superheroes , Does it mean that Peter Parker can die too?"

Maybe it's because the connectivity of the Internet has become the focus of everyone's attention, but it may also be because Roland Allen has shown the world the importance of Internet marketing, so when the feedback on the Internet flows out one after another, they are paying attention to the development of public opinion. The Big Six also became very interested in these two-sided news, and when they found out that Roland's fans were surprisingly not optimistic about the movie's box office, a sense of absurdity spread wildly among their senior management—

"One billion? Roland's fans simply underestimate their idol." Murdoch, who had conflicts with Roland but did not cause any bigger conflicts, said with a smile: "This is just the first step in the announcement. A lot of news, haven't released yet."

"Roland is probably going to be confused now?" Michael Eisner almost burst out laughing after learning the box office forecast on the Internet, "Because of the general election, other movies have been withdrawn, so November is the **** date? "

   "How can his fans be so cute? Before the movie is released, they have already helped him find a reason to fail?"

"Wow, Wow, Wow, it seems that continuous filming of tragedies still affects him!" The boss of Time Warner, who is still arguing with America Online, viewed the whole matter with an objective attitude, but for him, This kind of mourning from fans doesn't make much sense, "because feelings will change their minds..."

Yes, while formulating the publicity plan, the publicity team of "Spider-Man 3" has actually taken into account the factors affecting the general election, so in addition to the premiere on the 10th, Evelyn Watson also asked On the 12th and 14th, Sony held ten screening ceremonies in five cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia.

  Different from the premiere, there are no media reporters for these ten screenings, no tickets for film critics and insiders, and all seats will be distributed to ordinary people who apply for tickets online in the form of fan benefits.

  Because of this, what is screened here is the full version of "Spider-Man 3" with easter eggs added.

   And this is also the last blow in the entire announcement process.

Since the entire easter egg is arranged at the end of the movie, that is, at the end of the credits, and there is no easter egg reminder from the beginning to the end, so the fans who can see here are either the guy who stayed because of an accident, or the one who cried bitterly True love fans, and when these guys who were about to leave suddenly found that the dark screen was unexpectedly lit up again, the oncoming blue sea made them bewildered, but when the familiar Irish tin whistle sounded, , The three figures that appeared after that made their eyes widen!

  Young woman in a wedding dress.
