The success of the "X-Men" series was first, and the popularity of "Spider-Man" was later. From Marvel Comics to Universal Pictures to Hulk comics, fans of this superhero comic adaptation movie have unlimited high expectations and are looking forward to it as glory as Peter Parker.

Universal Studios also held a massive premiere for the film at the Hollywood Oriental Theater.

The premiere not only invited a large number of celebrity guests, but Universal Pictures' Ron Meyer also personally invited many heavyweight figures in the industry, such as Michael Eisner, the head of Walt Disney.

Ron Mayer can also be regarded as an invitation from Ron Mayer. In addition to Ang Lee's personal invitation, Ron Mayer also set out to invite him in the name of Universal Pictures.

Red carpet brands gathered, but Hollywood's powerful figures with real decision-making power entered the VIP room early.

"Your Relativity Entertainment has achieved amazing results in the past two years."

In the VIP room, Ron Meyer seemed very kind: "Ronan, are there any interest in working with Universal Pictures."

Of course, Ronan would say the scene: "This is my honor and Relativity Entertainment."

But other than that, there is nothing.

Ron Mayer is curious about Relativity Entertainment: "Pirates of the Caribbean will be released next month. Are you planning to enter the top commercial production?"

Luo Nan smiled: "Relativity Entertainment has no background and is not as good as Universal Pictures and other companies. It's mainly to try your luck."

"You chose a pirate film, which is incredible." Ron Mayer's true view: "Who dares to invest more than $100 million to make a pirate film? Are you not afraid of failure?"

To be honest, he thinks that the success of Pirates of the Caribbean is not as good as that of the Hulk.

When Ron Mayer thought of "The Hulk", he had a headache. After several internal trials, few people were optimistic about the commercial prospects of "The Hulk", and the entire Universal Pictures was ready to fail.

But if the film fails, his position will be worrying. Originally, because of the rapid expansion of Vivendi Group in the past two years, various problems have occurred, and even dragged down Universal Pictures. If this highlight fails again, Universal Pictures will probably begin to be in turmoil again.

Ronan said at this time: "Relativity Entertainment's scale and business volume are average, and it is much worse than DreamWorks. It cannot attract first-line directors to cooperate, and there is no good project theme. I can only see the luck of Pirate Films."

When it’s time to keep a low profile, you should be more low-key, and now it’s not the time to be in trouble.

Ron Meyer looked at Ronan, thinking about the consequences of the failure of the pirate film, he suddenly felt that Ronan was like a brother in distress.

They all have to fall into big productions.

Thinking of this, Ron Meyer said very rarely: "You are still a little impulsive, and you should consider the consequences of failure."

Ronan nodded: "Yes."

Toby Maguire came over at this time, holding a girl's hand. Ron Mayer introduced Ron. Only then did Ron Mayer realize that the girl was Ron Mayer's daughter Jennifer Mayer, and she took Spider-Man away.

After greeting the two, Ronan saw Michael Eisner and specially pulled Ron Mayer over and asked for help to introduce him.

This is Ronan's first time facing the head of Walt Disney.

"You are Ronan Anderson of Relativity Entertainment?" Michael Eisner's attitude was not good, but there was a reason: "You poached Robert Eiger?"

Ronan smiled and said, "We are a two-way choice."

Michael Eisner attaches great importance to Robert Eiger, otherwise he would not have been promoted from ABC TV to work in a group company, so he has a bad impression of Ronan. Moreover, as Disney successfully transformed from a single studio to a media group, Michael Eisner also became extremely confident. Whether facing people within the group or treating Steve Jobs outside the company, he is far from being polite.

Ron Mayer had already gone to entertain other guests, only Ronan and Michael Eisner were left here.

Michael Eisner said bluntly: "I am the one who approved Robert Eiger to leave Disney. You owe me a favor."

Ronan shrugged and said, "Mr. Eisner, I will repay this favor with you if there is a suitable opportunity."

This is as if he really owe a great favor.

Michael Eisner could not understand what Ronan said really means. He thought Ronan took the initiative to show weakness, so he nodded with satisfaction, and his aggressive aura also restrained.

"The Pirates of the Caribbean that you will release next month is the same as the Disneyland amusement project." Michael Eisner said deliberately: "Ronan, you did not obtain Disney's consent before you set up the project."

Ronan replied calmly: "We have not violated copyright law and any provisions within the industry."

Michael Eisner's eyes narrowed: "But if your movie fails, it will affect Disney's amusement park project!"

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "The movie will not be released until next month, and the victory or defeat will be unknown."

"Do you think the Pirates movie can still succeed?" Michael Eisner thought of the negative impact this weird movie might have on Disneyland, and couldn't help but say: "I've seen the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean. What's that Pirate character? Do you think movie fans can accept it? Johnny Depp will ruin your movie!"

Ronan did not respond because there was no need.

It’s better to wait until the result of the film is released after it is released.

Michael Eisner shook his head: "How did Johnny Depp create Captain Pirates? Is he a little mentally retarded? Is he drunk? Is he a homosexual?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "Depp said that all his characters are homosexual."

Just so happened that Ronan saw Ang Lee and before Michael Eisner could speak, he said first: "Sorry, Mr. Eisner, I want to chat with Director Ang Lee."

After saying that, he walked towards Ang Lee.

"Thank you for attending my premiere." Ang Lee shook hands with Ronan.

Ronan smiled and said, "Of course I have to see your new film as soon as possible."

Ang Lee was very busy, so he didn't say much, and then left for a few greetings, and went to the cinema to wait for the movie to start screening.

Ronan is a little further back, and behind it is where ordinary audiences sit.

Not long after the movie started to be screened, the previous discussion continued to appear, which was not a good phenomenon for a commercial movie, because it meant that the audience's attention began to shift from the movie, and the film could not immerse the audience in the story and atmosphere.

Someone seemed very depressed, and his dissatisfied voice was a little high: "The only one who can make a superhero movie so dull is An-Li?"

This statement seemed to resonate. Another person said: "The directors who have won the Oscars are indeed different. They may be expressed in art, which is different from ordinary science fiction films. However, I didn't understand what to express. After watching it for 50 minutes, I felt that the movie was very cost-effective and there were no big scenes."

Ronan is actually very clear that "The Hulk" is not a typical commercial film, its spiritual core is still literary.

Moreover, as a director who has worked with him once, Ronan can still guess some of Ang Lee's thoughts. According to Ang Lee, "The Hulk" is a psychological movie, but this theme is obviously inappropriate. The superhero movie that the audience wants to watch is actually a popcorn movie. Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy does not go beyond this category.

As an artistic director, Ang Lee is definitely unwilling to make only a brainless popcorn movie, and he will not make a movie into a pure popcorn movie, so he added a lot of his own stuff.

Perhaps, Universal Film Company invited Ang Lee to shoot this film and hoped that he could inject something different into the superhero film.

But such a high investment is destined to be successful or not, whether the video is successful depends on whether the audience buys it or not.

Some netizens once said that the biggest problem of Ang Lee's "The Hulk" is the rhythm and psychological entanglement, which has helped the subsequent superhero movies learn from the experience and lessons.

Ang Lee later said: In terms of superhero movies, I really became a martyr...

American superhero movies are mainly popcorn. The first thing I want is to have a refreshing visual experience, add some high-tech ingredients and add a beauty to it. These two hours will be gone.

This type of movie must realize the dream of a heroic and beautiful woman to the ordinary people they face.

After all, American superhero movies are not very suitable for directors full of literary style.

Ronan looked at the movie whose main plot was almost the same as before and knew that this movie could not create miracles because it was completely inconsistent with the current commercial film market.

After the film was finished, Ronan also went over to make a few polite words to Ang Lee and sent him a routine congratulations, but Ang Lee was not very interested. After all, this film was previewed many times, and Universal Pictures' attitude of being dissatisfied has long been heard.

Similarly, the audience didn't buy it much.

When Ronan left the crew, he called Robert Lee directly and asked Robert Lee's search to pay special attention to the relevant updates of Universal Pictures and "The Hulk".

Only when this video fails can Relativity Entertainment obtain the copyright of "The Hulk".

The worst thing is to get the copyright of "The Hulk" in the Avengers, just like Marvel Studios did.

This is arguably the best opportunity.

After the premiere, cinemasore quickly announced the audience reputation of "The Hulk", with only "b-".

Even for summer commercial films, such a reputation is extremely bad, and this is the audience's reputation!

The misfortune never comes alone, and the bad response of "The Hulk" has triggered many contradictions.

In an interview with the media, the male protagonist Eric Barner actually publicly claimed that working with Ang Lee was "like a nightmare".
