Apart from "Spider-Man", there are actually no other movies.
Two days before the release...
Zhou Yang and the management of Xingyang Cinema issued an order at the same time.
All movies from the same period were removed from the shelves, including "American Gangster History", China's "Crazy Stone", "The Overheard" and other movies, and all screening halls were showing "Spider-Man".
When the management heard this instruction, although they did not understand it in their hearts, there was no longer much shock on their faces.
They didn't know how to complain about Zhou Yang's various theater expansion operations after filming "Spider-Man" and during the financial crisis. Everyone was keenly aware that Zhou Yang was like a gambler who gambled on everything, desperately taking advantage of others.
All his own capital.
In this environment, such a stud is tantamount to courting death.
People at the theater and above are naturally pessimistic and even more pessimistic about their own future.
Some people are talking privately about being unemployed as soon as they find a job.
During the few months of the financial crisis, they either went bankrupt or lost their jobs, and the entire environment was in a terrible state. Under such circumstances, for these people who want to live well and do not want to become homeless and receive unemployment benefits, a job is a natural choice.
It is commendable.
In this pessimistic mood, "Spider-Man" was released.
As one of the security personnel of the cinema, Klaus looked at the empty screening hall and the "movie fans" who were chatting here and there. He felt that his profession was useless. Even when he went to work today, he already thought about it.
Okay, now how to deal with this boring working time.
After checking the tickets, he walked into the screening room and watched "Spider-Man" to kill time.
But no one expected that they would be fascinated just by looking at it.
He forgot that he was a security guard in a theater. He was standing in the aisle, his eyes following the big screen, as motionless as a piece of wood.
He seemed to have arrived in another world, feeling the wonderful fighting of Chinese martial arts, immersed in the wonderful plot, and was excited by the various kung fu movements and Chinese "qi".
Of course he didn't realize it...
A few people at the entrance to the aisle also came to kill time. The audience who walked in by chance could not find the ticket seller after entering the Xingyang Cinema. They walked into the viewing area and into the No. 1 screening room in a very speechless manner.
Then……
They were also shocked when they saw the plot of "Spider-Man".
"Oh God! This...how did you get in? You can't come in, you have to buy a ticket!"
"We also want to buy tickets and come in to watch, but where is the ticket sales staff?"
"ah?"
"..."
Klaus looked around, and then he saw a little girl in business attire blushing with embarrassment, apologizing, and running out of the screening room in embarrassment.
The little girl is the only ticket seller in this Xingyang Cinema...
She never imagined that other fans would come into the first premiere of "Spider-Man".
I thought about going to see what "Spider-Man" was like, but when I saw it, I started to be obsessed with it.
"How many tickets do you want to buy?"
The little girl returned to the counter, collected her emotions, and looked seriously at the seven or eight movie fans who came in from outside.
"I'll buy one!"
"I'll buy one too!"
"Is there any time for the latest "Spider-Man" show? I want that one! Is it in Auditorium 3? Okay!"
"..."
The little girl sold seven or eight tickets in a flash. After selling all the tickets, she saw the door outside the house opened.
Two more people came over...
The two people saw a poster of "Spider-Man" posted inside and outside the Xingyang Cinema. They thought it was quite novel and interesting, so they walked in to take a look.
When they learned that the movie tickets for "Spider-Man" were as expensive as "Superman 2", the two became entangled for a time.
"This movie is very good-looking. I swear in the name of God, it is definitely a very good-looking movie. I was fascinated by it just now. This is a different kind of superhero movie, very cool..."
The little girl kept promoting "Spider-Man" to the two viewers. However, because she had limited academic qualifications and was very excited, the two viewers thought the little girl was a fraud. They nodded on the surface, but were wary in their hearts.
It didn't work, but looking at the little girl's very cute and innocent look, they finally chose to buy two tickets after hesitating for a few minutes, and finally continued to walk into the No. 3 screening room with doubts.
When they walked into Auditorium 3, they found that Auditorium 3 was nearly half full.
"Is this movie really not bad?"
The two looked at each other suspiciously.
…………………………
The first half of "Spider-Man" uses very delicate time to describe the growth process of an ordinary boy.
Even though it is a superhero movie that does not require much acting skills, Zhou Yang still interprets the role to the extreme seriously, making the audience laugh while smiling and inexplicably thinking of themselves in the past or now...
…
They all live at the bottom, looked down upon but powerless, eager to get ahead, but suppressed so heavily by reality that they can't breathe.
"Spider-Man" is like a dream, an extremely beautiful "counterattack" dream for ordinary people.
The second half of "Spider-Man" takes the dream to its extreme.
The splendid Chinese martial arts battle is so cool that it screams high-tech, the hero wearing a red spider suit and the "Green Goblin" who is so evil and dehumanizing that it makes people scared.
Jumping hundreds of meters in the air, climbing vertically on walls, fighting to the death amidst flames and explosions...
The special effects stimulated the eyes of movie fans and made many fans soar with adrenaline. They were so excited that they wanted to cheer, but they were afraid of disturbing the "heroes" on the screen.
Even senior film critics like Duncan couldn't tell which scenes were special effects or real shots after watching a battle!
If it were shot in real life, some actions and scenes would be too dangerous and simply not something humans can do.
But if it’s special effects, the special effects are so realistic!
Time passes little by little.
Zhou Yang's version of "Spider-Man" is two and a half hours long, longer than any other movie in the "Superman" series.
But it’s hard to believe that this movie actually made people watch it from beginning to end, and they even had to hold their urine to finish it!
After reading this...
You will feel a sense of emptiness for no reason...
For a moment, you couldn't tell whether you were in reality or in a movie, but when an English theme song played, you realized that you were in a movie theater.
You will feel a sense of loss.
It seems that this two and a half hour story, although not rushed, is too short.
"Any more?"
"This is the first half, right? What about the second half?"
"Is there a second part?"
"..."
After a wave of inquiries came from the screening room, and I felt the reluctance of the movie fans.
Chloe Peggy breathed a long sigh of relief, as if all the strength in her body had been drained, she slumped on the chair.
The failure of "Lizard Man" made Chloë Peggy extremely eager to prove herself!
He attached great importance to "Spider-Man" and went to the extreme in almost every detail. However, when it was released, he was enveloped in a nervous mood throughout the whole process, and the nerves in his whole body were tense.
Zhou Yang risked everything to try out "Spider-Man".
And he put everything on the line. In order to prove his confidence in "Spider-Man", he even invested millions of dollars.
The lights come on.
Under the leadership of several leaders, bursts of applause erupted in the cinema.
After hearing the applause and seeing the excitement of the fans, Chloro Paige stood up from his chair. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yang who also stood up.
He was excited to say something...
But when the words came to my lips, nothing came out. My ears even fell into a state of deafness for a while, and I felt that the world was unusually quiet.
He is so tired!
"Mr. Chloe Peggy, you can go back and have a good sleep tonight!"
All the main creative staff of "Spider-Man", including Li Qiang, jumped up with excitement, but Zhou Yang just showed a calm smile and looked at Chloe Peggy.
Then...
Someone shouted "Spider-Man", and then the audience spotted Zhou Yang in the front row, and then swarmed around him.
……………………
After the first show of "Spider-Man" ended, the ticket sales ladies who were promoting "Spider-Man" to the new guests heard bursts of excitement from the fans.
Guests subconsciously asked how the movie "Spider-Man" turned out...
Then……
They found that everyone was just like the little girl selling tickets, excitedly talking incoherently about how great and exciting this movie was!
The first-hand reactions of the audience are naturally the most authentic feedback. When they saw a group of spectators who had just come out clamoring to buy another ticket to watch another show, these new guests immediately followed suit.
box office.
For a time, the entire "Spider-Man" living room was noisy and frighteningly lively.
Soon the guests in Screening Room 2 came out...
The guests in Auditorium 2 were also extremely excited. Some people actually predicted that the box office of the movie "Spider-Man" is likely to surpass that of the "Superman" series, and may even become a landmark work for superheroes...
"friends!"
"For friends who have computers, if you can, go to American Movie Network and give a full score to "Spider-Man"!"
"Because this movie didn't have much publicity, although everyone thinks it's pretty good, it's destined to not be very good at the box office at the premiere..."
"If you can recommend it, please recommend "Spider-Man" to your relatives and friends, thank you!"
"..."
The ticket sales girl saw the bustling crowd, and after selling a few tickets, she started shouting this sentence with a loudspeaker.
After hearing these words from the ticket sales girl, the enthusiastic movie fans nodded, took out their mobile phones and started making calls...
