Chapter 680: Who want to be the protagonist

On the first weekend of August, Marvel Pictures held a grand premiere for "The Hulk" at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. This is the second part of the Marvel Phase One Universe Project after "Captain America". The work, the role players who are currently determined to appear in the Marvel movie will gather in Los Angeles.

The brain of the Avengers and the commander of Captain America is played by Ryan; Scarlett Johnson will continue her journey of Black Widow; Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man will come out next year; Samuel Jackson’s Before the general mobilization, Nick Fury had been playing soy sauce everywhere; the blue-faced confidant of the Black Widow was also confirmed to be played by the unknown Jeremy Renner; the reddest Wolverine Logan in the X-Men might also join. This team.

Of course, the protagonist of this movie is the Hulk. Mark Ruffalo, who has worked hard in Hollywood for many years but has not achieved anything, appeared on the red carpet with Kate Beckinsale. The latter is the film’s Heroine.

Entering the front hall of the theater and after a few greetings with the people who came over, Ryan found the unusually conspicuous Taylor. She sneaked in through the side door and was holding a little girl.

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

Lily Mo Sheen seems to have some opinions about his hair being messed up by this action, but unlike Tyler when she was a child, she still greets politely, "Hello, godfather."

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

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

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

"Last night." Taylor took over Ryan's job. "I came back a bit late, so I didn't call you. I met Scarlett again this morning, so we went to Kate, and I became Lily's nanny. ."

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

The film’s rating is pg-13. After entering the theater’s lobby, Taylor returned Lily to Kate Beckinsale, joined Scarlett Johansson, and sat next to Ryan. Before the film started, two The girl kept muttering, and the intimate ones seemed to have endless words. It didn't stop until the movie started.

Compared with the somewhat literary "Hulk" by Ang Lee in the previous life, this is an out-and-out popcorn movie. From the character to the plot to the theme, there is no obscurity and complexity, and it seems unusually simple.

There is no need for such a film to pay attention to too much humanistic feelings and to investigate the deep-seated social reasons behind it. It pays more attention to the requirements of the action scene, especially inheriting the usual level of action and special effects of the Marvel superhero movie, the Hulk’s Each of the three action scenes has its own merits, and each is more violent and lasting.

The motion capture provided by Mark Ruffalo has some minor flaws. However, compared to the Hulk in which Ang Lee personally starred in the previous life, it is better, and it's okay to cope with the existing movies.

There is no surprise. Everything in the film appears to be well-regulated. Like all the heroes in Marvel movies, even if it is misunderstood, Hulk will fight for the Great America. Thus, a rager turned into a superhero.

Of course, at the end of the film, there is no shortage of easter eggs. Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. appeared in a personable manner. It's not a big surprise.

Disney's promotion of "Iron Man" has been launched long ago, and over time, the surprising "Avengers" project is no secret in the eyes of senior movie fans.

Obviously, the next superhero movie must 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 angry and unable to control themselves. Even if there are many comic fans, comics and movies are completely different carriers. , The audience of the movie is still relatively small.

The most direct reaction to this is at the box office. The box office of "Hulk" on the first three days of the year is definitely the lowest in a Marvel Hero movie in recent years, even the "Fantastic Four" produced by Paramount. Inferior, only got the North American box office of 55.41 million US dollars.

The market reacted in surprise, especially Ryan’s expectation. Their goal is simple. Through the later operation, they will try to recover the cost. For at least 15 years, there will be no more separate Hulk movies. Hulk will only Other superheroes joined forces to appear on the screen.

A total of 150 million U.S. dollars was invested in the film. If the Australian government’s tax rebates and part of the bill and the costs of implanting advertising offsets are included, the actual total cost is only a little more than 100 million U.S. dollars. The difficulty of returning the cost is not particularly large.

Fortunately, in August there was no particularly strong competitor. The box office of the film remained close to 40 million US dollars in the second week. In some respects, thanks to Sony Columbia Pictures’ “Top Secret Flight” released this week. too poor.

This aerial popcorn produced by Sony Entertainment at a cost of US$135 million did not please the critics or the audience. It only had a box office of more than US$13 million on the first Wednesday. It is another year after this year’s "Kings of Heaven". A large-scale commercial film doomed to fail miserably.

Today’s Sony Columbia Pictures has no life-saving "Spider-Man" series. In the past few years, it has been swaying like a tightrope. It may fall into the abyss like MGM at any time, and it even brings the entire performance of Sony Entertainment. In decline.

Sony has long lost the magic of the last century. Compared with the plummeting electronic products, its audio-visual industry has the best performance in all sectors.

However, these have not much to do with Ryan. There must be the Japanese government, 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 Taylor, and the way to relax is to play games.

"I feel a lot of pressure sometimes."

While waiting for the game characters to log in, Taylor said to him, "It's hard to relax completely, and I don't want to go to the nightclub to go crazy like those fallen guys, so I have to find a way."

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

"Only play when the pressure is high." Taylor's Hydrangea stood in Ironforge, and then grouped the Elf Hunters with long ears that appeared beside him into a team, and then continued, " Put all your energy into the world of the game temporarily. If you don’t think about things in reality, your tense nerves will gradually relax, and the pressure will disappear without even knowing it."

"It sounds like a good way." Ryan called out the settings interface, set up a few shortcut keys according to the last time he played, and then opened the equipment bar, vaguely remembering that the purple equipment in the previous life seemed to be the product of a high-end copy. Can't help asking, "Is this your collection?"

"Where do I have time to collect equipment?" Taylor shook his head slowly, "I specifically called Mr. Adhan for this. By the way, he also asked me not to tell anyone, Ryan, you don't Tell other players in the game."

"My dear, I'm not an idiot." Didn't you tell others that you smashed the sign of your company?

"Wow, the guild organizes 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. They are relatively unfamiliar. However, the leader of the dungeon group, after seeing the equipment of the two, immediately put the pair of unreliable guys together. Entered into a large team of forty people.

"Go, go!" Tyler turned to Ryan's screen and asked, "Do you know how to go?"

Seeing Ryan shook her head, she immediately grabbed the mouse and controlled the hunter with long ears to fly to Menethil Harbor. A boat came by and got on the boat again. Then she hurriedly rushed with the hydrangea. Go to the lair of the black dragon princess.

"correct."

After getting off the boat, Hydrangea rode ahead on a horse, and the hunter with long ears rode a tiger behind. Taylor asked on the team channel, "Aren't you writing the script of Warcraft? Are you finished?"

"No."

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

"Script? What script?"

What Hydrangea said just now obviously caught the attention of others, and a dwarf thief immediately asked, "The script of Warcraft? The hunter is a playwright?"

"Ah..." Taylor tapped a line of decimal points.

The dwarf thieves seem to know a lot, and they typed very serious words, "I tell you, the copyright of the Warcraft series is in the hands of Ryan. Do you know who Ryan is? He is the creator of this world. If you adapt it indiscriminately, it will infringe. ! So, don't think about messy things."

The hunter with long ears remained silent, and Hydrangea asked on the team channel, "You said, what will happen if this series is adapted into a movie?"

"We've been waiting The human warriors in the team also spoke up, "This is definitely the best online game ever. Ryan's novel has shaped a whole new world, and we want to watch it too. To the movie version of the Warcraft series. "

"Yeah, yeah..." The words of other people appeared on the team channel.

"If it is adapted..."

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

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

"I like Anduin? Lothar..."

"Muradin? Bronzebeard..."

"Or Arthas? Menethil is appropriate."

In this way, Ryan's hunters 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...) ()
