I feel that Zhou Yang is paranoid to the core and wants to get into superhero movies.
The lessons learned from "The Lizard Man" are clearly visible. Even Hollywood movies have failed, let alone superhero movies made by Zhou Yang.
During this period, there was ridicule, sarcasm, questioning, and advice...
But Zhou Yang insisted on "Spider-Man" from beginning to end, even putting everything on "Spider-Man", like a madman.
Feng Minmin walked out of the screening room.
He couldn't describe his emotions.
All around are fans who are excited, constantly discussing the plot of "Spider-Man", and buying tickets for the second "Spider-Man"...
The sound made him feel noisy, and he found himself like a clown.
Zhao Sicheng followed closely behind Feng Ruimin, his face looking particularly ugly.
The excitement of the fans in the cinema has already shown that this movie is completely different from "The Lizard", and even "Spider-Man" has a stronger impact on them than when "Superman" was first released.
"If "Superman" and "Spider-Man" were released at the same time, maybe "Superman" wouldn't even be able to create a myth!"
Zhao Sicheng heard some fans comment like this.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
This comment undoubtedly slapped him hard, and this slap was actually hot.
He got into the car with Feng Ruimin, and Cao Bangguo was also in the car.
The three of them fell into a long, death-like silence.
Cao Bangguo has just suffered the failure of "The Righteous Man". Although the director is Wu Tong, it has affected his reputation to some extent. Some people on the Internet have pulled out the list of all the movies he has assisted in directing, and then came to the conclusion that he is behind the times.
When he saw this summary, he was suddenly shocked.
Times seem to have changed unconsciously.
They who once had the right to speak have begun to gradually become obsolete in this new era, and will even become dispensable.
Naturally, there are feelings of reluctance and disappointment. Apart from that, what Cao Bangguo wants more is to write a script well and then make a movie seriously to prove that he is not out of date.
"He was suppressed by Hollywood, and he couldn't get ahead at all in Hollywood!"
"It's impossible for him to come back... My good friend in the United States just sent me a text message, saying that the premiere hall of "Spider-Man" was full because the staff brought people over..."
"..."
Zhao Sicheng finally broke this deathly silence.
But no one responded...
Cao Bangguo started thinking about a new movie...
Feng Minji bought a house in Lao America, but he is still stuck and unable to sell it. With housing prices collapsing in front of him, he has suffered huge losses this time.
Although I saw that "Spider-Man" seemed to be a big hit, I didn't care about Zhou Yang.
Even if he sees Zhou Yang finished in Hollywood, his mood will not be high...
After Zhao Sicheng saw that the two of them were still silent, he felt a little bored. Then he could only pay attention to the movements of Lao Mei, hoping to see Zhou Yang's embarrassing situation in Lao Mei to refresh his emotions that had been suppressed for a long time...
But when he saw the ratings of "Spider-Man" on the American Movie Network on his computer, Zhao Sicheng's mood suddenly froze.

【……】
"Spider-Man" was released on the American Movie Network during its premiere.
When I logged into the American Movie Network, not many people paid attention to it, and the only few comments were negative ones.
Because American Movie Network was rather perfunctory about the film, the cover of "Spider-Man" was similar to that of "The Lizard Man", and the staff list included Chloë Page, the star of "The Lizard Man".
director, so almost all of the few comments were scolding.
But after the premiere of "Spider-Man"...
These curses began to gradually disappear on the homepage of the movie interface, and the voices of praise surged up like a blowout.
"Tony, what's going on with this movie? Have you done the data?"
"Maybe not!"
"Oh my god, in just a few hours, the number of positive reviews has exceeded a thousand! All of them are positive reviews!"
"What?"
"The few negative reviews are actually because I wanted to catch a spider and was bitten by a spider. God, come and see, these reviews make me want to watch this movie..."
"..."
Several staff members at American Movie Network were in disbelief when they saw "Spider-Man" ranking outside the top 100 at the beginning and rushing into the top 100.
After that, almost every ten minutes, one or two people would advance. What is even more exaggerated is that more than 90% of the comments were all praise for the movie "Spider-Man".
After technician Tony checked the "Spider-Man" data, he was surprised to find that almost all the comments on "Spider-Man" were real people!
The two of them read the comments one by one, and after reading them, they looked at each other.
"After get off work, why don't you go watch this movie?"
"good!"
"But I just checked and found that this movie is shown in only a few cinemas in New York, and they are all in remote places..."
"Let me look at the address. Oh my God, is this cinema so far away? Forget it, I'll make a phone call to buy tickets first!"
"good!"
Tony took out his mobile phone and after finishing the call, he looked very embarrassed at his colleague who was reading the comments and was about to change the cover of "Spider-Man" to a promotional cover.
"Dave...no more tickets!"
"What?"
"There are no more tickets, it seems they are sold out!"
"real or fake?"
"Really! But a theater chain in Los Angeles seems to have some spare tickets..."
"Damn, that place is too far!"
…………………………
Because of Hollywood suppression and the general environment.
The Xingyang Cinema in Los Angeles is extremely remote, and it takes more than two hours' drive from the center of the market.
The Xingyang Cinema here was formerly a small town cinema. Later, because this cinema could not get blockbusters and was too remote, it could not compete with the city's cinemas and eventually had no choice but to close down. It was later taken over by the Xingyang Cinema.
Renovated at a very low price.
When "Spider-Man" was shown in the morning, it was even more deserted than other branches. The staff were chattering away and couldn't fit into a premiere hall.
This state of affairs changed slightly in the afternoon.
The ticket sales staff looked at the strange faces entering the cinema one after another. The strange faces that came in were all doubtful and asked whether this was the screening room of "Spider-Man" and whether "Spider-Man" was as rumored on the Internet.
nice……
After the staff patiently explained, they purchased the box office.
When the first screening in the afternoon ended and the second round came, more and more guests started to come in to inquire.
The staff received each guest with surprise and answered the same questions tirelessly...
Even during the chat, I was surprised to find that some fans actually came from far away!
"I got news from netizens that there are quite a lot of vacancies for "Spider-Man" here in Los Angeles, so I came..."
In the evening, the staff received another group of people, and among these people, there were even a few people from another city.
They began to think it was an exaggeration, and at one point they even thought it was a "trust" sent by people from Xingyang Cinemas.
But regardless of whether it’s a favor or not…
The movie box office is finally sold out!
After seven o'clock in the evening, the staff found that the door became lively. More and more people came in. Although there were still people asking whether "Spider-Man" was good, there were gradually fewer people. Some people came in and looked forward to it.
I bought tickets directly and went into the screening room. After eight o'clock, all the tickets in a screening room were even sold out...
"We actually have so many guests here?"
"This Spider-Man is going to be a hit!"
"Maybe Xingyang Cinemas won't close down?"
This excitement lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening, and the number of people gradually became less and less.
Several staff members, you look at me, I look at you...
Instantly I felt like I was dreaming!
……………………
After the premiere...
Seeing the response on the Internet, Zhou Yang, who stayed in the office, suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he looked calm, he was actually feeling tense deep inside.
After all, he put a lot of energy and things into the movie "Spider-Man", and since it was different from the original "Spider-Man", he naturally had a lot of concerns about it.
This is a gambler's mentality.
However, when he saw that "Spider-Man" was ranking higher and higher on the American Movie Network and became more and more popular, he was finally able to relax.
After relaxing...
He began to feel a little tired, more tired than ever before.
Just when he was about to take a good rest, he heard a knock on the office door.
Xu Mei is here...
With the Chinese box office of "Spider-Man" and the premiere box office of the old American Xingyang Cinema...
