ALL NOVEL Chapter 8: Spider-Man Is Finished! The Pilot Trailer Is Online!
"No, I can't... I will always be your best friend."
"Just friends?"
"I can only give you so much...you understand."
"He made you promise...that would make me safer, right?"
After the funeral of Officer George Stacey, the weather was perfect, with a light drizzle.
Gwen Stacy held an umbrella and looked at Peter with tears in her eyes.
She had already lost one of her most important men, and she didn't expect to lose another one.
Their eyes intertwined,
Peter, who was also heartbroken, gritted his teeth and turned around, ignoring Gwen's efforts to stay, and disappeared into the rain.
"Cut!"
Mark Webb shouted the last time with mixed emotions.
The entire set suddenly fell into silence.
Then there was a burst of cheers.
"Yeah! Hooray!"
"It's finished!"
"It's over, woohoo!"
The filming, which was originally planned for half a year, was officially completed in less than two months.
The real-life shooting of "Spider-Man" has come to an end, and the actors and crew can take a long vacation.
Next it was the post-production team's turn to get busy.
Looking at the people celebrating, Mark Webb felt relieved, but his heart was empty, and he couldn't explain why.
Maybe it's because I can't perform CP on the spot.
"Well done, Xu! You have worked hard during this time."
"Good job for you too, Mark. Lucky to be on this team."
"No, I'm lucky. When you auditioned, your acting skills actually needed to be improved. But it turns out that my choice was right. You are the most suitable Spider-Man!"
Mark Webb lamented:
"I hope the film will be a success and we will continue to work together on the sequel."
"I hope so!"
Xu Can and Marc Webb shook hands and smiled at each other, and then the director was pulled away by other actors to celebrate.
Emma Stone came to Xu Can quietly.
She still wears the makeup in the movie,
I didn't have time to take off my woolen hat.
The crying scene just now was mixed with raindrops, which made her eyeshadow slightly flowery.
This picture of pear blossoms with rain makes people pity her. It is hard to imagine that she is usually such a silly girl who loves to laugh and enjoy having fun.
"You haven't played yet?"
Xu Can joked and took a piece of paper to help her wipe off the spent eye shadow.
"If I were Gwen and you were Spider-Man, and faced this situation... would you choose to leave in order to keep me safe?"
"What kind of proposition is this?"
Xu Can didn't answer, just put his arm around Emma's shoulders and hugged her gently.
"I just know that instead of worrying about the future, it's better to enjoy the moment as much as possible."
Emma Stone smiled lightly, said nothing, and naturally put her hands around Xu Can's waist.
Two kissing scenes, as well as Xu Can's "improvisational performance" last time,
The two of them are currently in a dating state.
More than friends, but no formal relationship.
This situation is relatively common in North American date culture.
Just like in the movie "La La Land", before the heroine Mia and the hero Seb got together,
She is dating another successful man,
Mia suddenly left the table and ran to the male protagonist Seb desperately.
Such behavior is considered "cheating" in the eyes of many people, and Seb has become a "mistress".
In fact, Mia has not officially established a relationship as a boyfriend or girlfriend with a successful person, they are just dating partners.
There is no moral burden in choosing to be with Seb.
Of course, these are cultural differences, and everyone has his or her own scale in mind.
In Xu Can's opinion, his relationship with Emma Stone is heating up now,
Neither of them has officially confirmed their relationship, and they plan to try to get along with each other for a while first.
During the filming period, they have developed a certain tacit understanding.
"What are your plans after that? It's estimated that when the movie is released, you'll have a lot of film scripts waiting to select."
Emma looked up at Xu Can, her eyes filled with admiration.
"I haven't decided yet. Let's take it one step at a time. What about you? There must be a new opportunity, right?"
There is no reason for a future Oscar-winning actress to be buried in any parallel world.
"Well, my agent called me yesterday and said that I was approached by two youth film actors."
"oh?"
"One is "Too Bad", which seems to be a vulgar comedy? The other one is also a comedy, "The King of Rock and Roll""
"'Too Bad' is no good, it has a kissing scene. The other one is pretty good, you can try it."
"Huh? You don't want me to do a kissing scene?"
Emma looked at Xu Can playfully.
"Well, you were too involved in your kissing scene. Only I can handle it."
Xu Can said seriously.
"Okay, then I'll ask the director to delete the kissing scene, otherwise I won't accept it."
Emma Stone smiles broadly.
She didn't have too many roles in these two youth comedies, but they were still impressive and were good for her acting career.
"I'm just suggesting." Xu Can emphasized.
"Then I choose to listen to your advice. Who made you jealous?"
Emma Stone pressed closer to him.
…
The film market in the parallel world is somewhat different from Xu Can's previous life.
As comic book movies continue to slump, Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" has not been born.
After he created "Following", "Memento" and "Insomnia",
"The Prestige" was released in 2006 and achieved a dismal box office of 109 million in North America.
Fortunately, it has a good reputation and received a rating of 8.5/10 on imdb.
Will Smith's "The Pursuit of Happiness" earned an outstanding box office of US$307 million at a low cost,
It is a masterpiece that has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success;
Neither "Superman Returns" nor "X-Men 3" existed in the previous life.
The most popular movies currently are "Casino Royale", "The Da Vinci Code", "Night at the Museum"...
Unfortunately, there is a popular IP movie that is about to take the world by storm and steal all the attention.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" will be released in the summer!
The eyes of all entertainment media and movie fans around the world are focused on Captain Jack Sparrow.
Johnny Depp is the most beautiful actor in Hollywood.
As for the Chinese market, it is still far from reaching its future heights.
The annual box office champion "The City of Gold" only had 250 million RMB.
The only ones with a box office of over 100 million are "The Banquet", "Fearless", "The Da Vinci Code" and "King Kong"...
Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" grossed 23 million at the box office, and its reputation has not exploded yet.
In this complicated situation,
The trailer for "Spider-Man" quietly appeared on CBS,
As well as many cinema advertisements, Internet, and offline advertising screens.
Sony Entertainment North America Headquarters, Chairman Howard Stringer is listening to the report.
"Mr. Stringer, the online and offline trailers have been laid out, and the posters have been produced, but they will have to wait until the next stage to be rolled out."
"How's the trailer going?" Howard leaned back on his chair casually.
"Spider-Man" is indeed strategically important, but he also has to be prepared to fail.
If the trailer had been effective, the people below would have informed him of the good news, and it would not be his turn to ask.
"It has had no effect so far. Media attention and public attention are relatively low, and the Google search index has not increased significantly."
"Isn't Spider-Man a popular IP? The situation should be better."
"The main reason is that the live-action movie is a big mistake, and Spider-Man is Asian... which is difficult to accept."
The old "Batman" series ended dismally.
The "X-Men" series was stillborn,
Even "The Incredible Hulk" by Oscar-winning director Lee Eucalyptus could not escape the fate of losing money.
Both investors and audiences have been disappointed for a long time. It is normal for everyone not to be optimistic about "Spider-Man".
"Okay." Howard Stringer sighed.
"Contact Martin Campbell and Daniel Gregg and try to make a 007 sequel as soon as possible."
Just as Sony executives were disappointed with the early response to the "Spider-Man" trailer,
This trailer has quietly spread on the emerging video website called YouTube!
