Chapter 12: The Most Handsome Peter Parker! The Opening Captivates All The Viewers!
"Emma! Emma! Can you tell me that you are confident of winning the bet?"
"Emma, what is your relationship with Xu Can now?"
"Does Mr. Xu really think he is Spider-Man?"
"What do you think of the resistance from some Marvel fans?"
After Xu Can and Emma Stone walked on the red carpet hand in hand, Xu Can's eyes were almost blinded by countless flashing lights.
Not only that, the microphone next to him wanted to be stuffed into Xu Can's mouth.
Emma Stone was just a small star before and had never seen such a battle.
She was a little panicked, and she didn't have the composure of a future Oscar-winning actress.
Fortunately, she held her arm with the handsome guy next to her, and the handsome guy's hand hugged her waist and tightened thoughtfully.
"Relax, you are a future Oscar winner, you have to get used to this kind of scene."
"Pfft, why do you always say I'm a movie queen?"
When the two chatted privately, Xu Can often said that she would win an Oscar in the future.
Emma Stone thought Xu Can was joking at first, but later found out...
Good guy, he seems serious?
I don't even have confidence in myself, how can you get such blind confidence?
However, when Xu Can interrupted, Sister Stone quickly lost her nerves and smiled naturally in front of the media.
"I can only say that I am very happy to play Spider-Man. I interpreted this role very seriously. I hope everyone will like it later."
Xu Can's speaking speed is neither too fast nor too slow, and he is even more composed than a Hollywood celebrity for his first appearance on the red carpet.
"As for the resistance from Marvel fans, they just haven't seen the movie. I believe they will change their minds after watching it."
The two briefly interviewed a few words in front of the media, and resolved various difficult questions from reporters while talking and laughing.
The tense scene imagined by the media did not materialize.
Director Marc Webb on the other hand breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm also worried that the two of them are young and energetic and prone to conflicts. It seems that they are very calm."
"Are you still calm? They were already very impulsive when they made bets with others before."
Producer Avi shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"500 million U.S. dollars? We expect 400 million U.S. dollars, God bless us."
"Don't be so pessimistic, you still don't have confidence in my movie?" Mark Webb teased.
"No."
"Fuck off! You idiot!"
Mark Webb himself actually has no idea. The only thing he can believe in is Xu Can's performance.
In the past, the shots of action blockbusters were cut into pieces and cut too quickly, lacking a sense of reality.
This time they used real shots for the first time in many of their shots!
And Xu Can never uses a stand-in, and almost all actions are done at once! His jaw dropped!
If there is a miracle, maybe the miracle lies with Xu Can!
He walked into the door of Galaxy Cinema with a nervous heart.
The entire theater is a very large theater that can accommodate up to 1,800 people.
At this time, the auditorium was already full, and all you could see was a dark mass of human heads!
Excluding the media and creative team, there were at least 1,500 spectators at the scene.
It is said that on the day of the pre-sale of movie tickets for the premiere, the queue at the ticket window stretched to two kilometers away! Many people lined up here the night before to grab tickets!
In addition, there are more than 5,700 theaters of various sizes in North America, with more than 35,000 screens.
Except for the low schedule of competing Warner theaters, all major theaters in the United States will release the film simultaneously at 24:00 that night, which is the early morning of Friday.
Of course, only the theaters for the advance premiere are currently full.
Those who are willing to come here to support are naturally Marvel fans or die-hard Spider-Man fans.
It doesn't matter whether the live-action movie is good or not, as long as it is produced, I will support it without any brains!
Among the many audience members, nerds Leonard and Howard were also sitting at the premiere.
Next to them were their school friends, Sheldon and Raj.
This small group of American comic book fans was like celebrating a festival. Everyone came to watch the movie wearing Spider-Man tights.
This opportunity to watch the movie was hard-won. They queued all night long and their bladders were almost full, but they finally bought the tickets at the end.
There were also many movie fans at the scene who came to watch the movie directly wearing hoods and complete equipment.
It's a large-scale Spider-Man cosplay gathering.
While a group of people were whispering and chatting, the lead actor Xu Can walked into the scene with Emma Stone on his arm.
Compared with Emma's applause just now, Xu Can's applause was obviously lighter.
After all, this is his debut.
He had no reputation before and was a pure vegetarian.
Xu Can didn't take it seriously, and sat in his seat with Sister Stone with a smile, preparing to watch the movie.
To be honest, he didn't care whether the applause was warm or not.
Xu Can's mind is filled with the first movie he starred in, the new version of "Spider-Man" in a parallel world!
He has never even watched the finished film. Like the fans around him, this is the first time for him to watch this movie!
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"Dear Spider-Man fans and friends! Welcome to the premiere of "Spider-Man"!"
"Our superhero is about to meet you, are you ready?"
The passionate host mobilized the atmosphere before the screening.
"Yeah!"
"Spiderman! Spiderman! Spiderman!"
Movie fans were in high spirits and responded in unison! Everyone can't wait!
"Next, please wait with bated breath and enjoy watching the movie."
call--
The moment the host stepped off the stage, the lights went out.
The screen is lit up!
Seemingly a little nervous, Xu Can clearly felt that Emma Stone's cold little hand next to her stretched out, and she was trembling slightly.
Holding her soft hand, the warmth from his hand was transferred to her.
Sister Stone's trembling gradually stopped and she regained her composure.
"Spider-Man" is here!
…
A beam of white light lit up the black screen, the camera moved down, and a dignified goddess statue held a torch high.

Appearing simultaneously with the title of the film is Xu Can's magnetic voice-over.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell this story again."
"My name is Peter Parker, and I am an ordinary high school student."
"When I was 6 years old, my parents' plane crashed. From then on, I was raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May."
"For 10 years, I was just an ordinary high school student, living a carefree life."
The tone of Xu Can's narration was not serious at all.
He has more of the rebelliousness of a high school boy and the witty and talkative attributes of Peter Parker in the comics.
With hip-hop trendy background music, it's like a real high school student telling you a story face to face.
Three words to sum it up: down-to-earth!
Audiences who are used to seeing the same old Hollywood industrial movies instantly became interested in this character in less than 30 seconds!
The freshness is coming!
Accompanying Xu Can is a summary of Peter Parker's past in a colorful comic book style.
When he was a child, his father was in danger and was forced to stay with his uncle;
Then his parents were killed, and little Parker was left helpless;
Later, under the care of Uncle Ben and Aunt May, they have become a family;
In the comics, little Parker looks at himself in the mirror...
"And...Now! Back to the present!"
The original comic-style pictures gradually faded away, and real-life images appeared at the same time!
Little Parker is still growing up, and Xu Can's sunny and handsome face appears in the mirror!
"Wow!"
"Holy..."
"Wait, what?"
Xu Can himself could clearly hear it from his seat, and there were obviously low-pitched exclamations coming from the film critics area and the movie fan area behind him.
Obviously this smooth and seamless transition took everyone's breath away.
From the second dimension to the third dimension in an instant, there is no sense of dissonance!
Xu Can's handsome and clear appearance also added a lot of points, which made all the audiences present shine!
Until this moment, the extreme Marvel fans who were originally prejudiced were completely relieved.
"Let me tell you! He can definitely play Spider-Man!"
Leonard growled excitedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you 10 dollars."
Sheldon, who was boycotting "Asian Spider-Man", took out $10.
I have to admit that from just one glance, I can tell that Xu Can really fits the role.
They don't know that this is just child's play, what kind of shock the next film will bring!
