Chapter 590: The Milestone of Marvel
what happened?
Because he was woken up, Stan Lee was still not very clear-headed, but the various cluttered sounds outside kept making him open the door and walked out, followed the direction of the sound, and entered the company In the lobby where the front desk is located.
Just as he walked into the lobby, Stan Lee only saw all the Marvel staff, including Kevin Feige and Avi Allard, almost like they were going crazy. He hadn't figured out anything yet. He heard a bucket of spray flowers being twisted nearby, and countless streamers fell on his head.
Is it...
Stan Lee's mind was clear, and he immediately asked loudly straight ahead, Kevin, did you get the box office statistics at midnight yesterday?
Got it! Got it!
Before Kevin Feige could answer, a young man nearby shouted, $10.26 million! Iron Man is going strong! Stan, we really succeeded!
Yeah, we made it!
Countless cluttered voices echoed the excitement, frenzy and celebration of those who have worked hard for Iron Man and Marvel Studios for years, and fully deserved the reward.
Stan Lee didn't get too excited, just let out a long sigh of relief. All the hard work that Marvel put into it finally paid off.
Outsiders only see the good market response and box office numbers of Iron Man, and a few people know what Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios have done so far after the talented director suggested Marvel to formulate a plan for the universe What kind of pressure has it taken in recent years?
Now, it's finally time to harvest!
Although the film's crucial opening weekend has only just begun, the midnight show has barely slipped compared to the early show. It is enough to prove that Iron Man will draw a stable trend chart, and director Duke Rosenberg's past films also confirm this.
After all, from last night to now, the positive reviews have completely shown an overwhelming advantage. The CinemaScore audience rating is as high as 94%, and the average audience score is A+...
These are not professional critics who have nothing to do with the market at all. It is the most direct audience response, and it is also the guarantee of the strong box office trend of Iron Man.
After years of preparation, Marvel Studios clearly saw that success had come, and the entire company was in a state of excitement.
Compared with Marvel Studios, Scarlett was also very happy after seeing the box office data of the midnight show, but not so excited and excited, in her eyes. This kind of success is taken for granted, what if Duke's film doesn't succeed? It is estimated that the films released in the summer of Hollywood will basically meet the cold reception in the market.
She has seen too much of this kind of success in the past ten years, and it can no longer cause excitement and excitement, even if it is closely related to herself.
After breakfast, she drove Duke to Warner Studios in a sports car. Then they went to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where they met Rachel McAdams, whom they had made an appointment with yesterday, and the two turned around in some of the most famous fashion stores here.
Black Widow and Chili pepper appeared at the same time, which soon attracted reporters and paparazzi. Scarlett and Rachel McAdams aren't new to Hollywood either, as long as the nasty guys don't come right over to disturb them. Basically ignore their existence.
These two people are both good actors. From the paparazzi's point of view, they look like sisters.
Especially Rachel McAdams. The smile on her face is extraordinarily bright, and it seems that the friendship between her and Scarlett Johansson is really too good to be good.
She has also obtained relevant box office statistics, and she also knows that Iron Man must be a box office bomb-level movie. If there are no accidents, all the main actors, including her, will take a big step forward in their careers.
However, even if the career progresses, there are differences.
From last night to this morning, Rachel McAdams has been paying attention to the relevant comments on the media. As she expected, Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson got the most praise, and she, the heroine, Instead, it fell to the level of the black actor Don Cheadle.
No one is willing to become someone else's supporting role, especially when she is the heroine of the film.
Let's go to the coffee shop and sit for a while, Scarlett?
While passing by a coffee shop, Rachel McAdams suggested, Take a break before going shopping.
Okay. Scarlett didn't mean to refuse at all.
In any case, it would not be a very comfortable thing to be surrounded by so many paparazzi who secretly photographed.
Before entering the coffee shop, Rachel McAdam bought a copy of the Los Angeles Times, pushed open the glass door, found a relatively hidden seat, and sat on both sides with Scarlett.
They haven't given up yet.
After ordering the coffee, Rachel McAdams pointed to the paparazzi who were still wandering outside through the glass window, and said, Do you want to follow us for a day?
Scarlett said indifferently, Ignore them.
The response to the film was so good. Rachel McAdams nodded, They certainly won't let us go easily.
In her heart, she didn't think it was a bad thing at all. In the past, she had to contact the media to take the initiative to shoot street photography. Since she appeared in Duke Rosenberg's film, journalists paparazzi have been chasing her to shoot.
Only when there is media attention can there be exposure. Rachel McAdams knows this very well. From the treatment she is enjoying now, you can also see the benefits of working with super directors.
Rachel McAdams certainly wants to continue working together, after all the benefits she's getting from Iron Man haven't lived up to expectations so far.
I heard that Duke has a series of production plans in the next few years? she asked casually while chatting.
Scarlett seemed to treat it as a small talk, I guess there is.
Eyes flickered, Rachel McAdams added, Will you continue to work with him?
I don't know his specific plans. Scarlett was telling the truth. If he needs it, I don't care.
Rachel McAdams knew the importance of connections and decided to take a long-term approach. She changed the subject on her own initiative, chatted about Iron Man, said a few words, and opened the Los Angeles she had already watched this morning. Times.
There's a review of Iron Man here! Her tone was full of surprise, as if she had just discovered it, It's the front page headline of the entertainment edition.
Really? Scarlett looked very interested, I came out early today, and I haven't read the comments yet.
After thinking for a while, Rachel McAdams said, I didn't read it either. Why don't I read it to you.
The two are as close as girlfriends.
Iron Man, directed by Duke Rosenberg, turned our perception of comic heroes upside down. Before Tony Stark, no mainstream comics hero had such a high profile. Personality. Including Superman's Clark Kent, Batman's Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man's Peter Parker, etc., all have two identities of 'hero' and 'ordinary person', and do everything possible to conceal them.
But Tony Stark is the exact opposite. As an ordinary person, he is a genius, a rich man, a darling of the spotlight, and he is not shy about his identity as 'Iron Man'. 'I. am.' is a high-profile declaration of the blatant birth of a superhero.
Iron Man's setting is very in line with some of the characteristics and needs of our era. Cool, rich, and revealing, for a considerable part of the younger generation of fans, such an image is undoubtedly more careful and sneaky than those superheroes. is attractive.
At the same time, we can also see that there is another level of effort in Iron Man. Compared with Superman's extraordinary talent, Spider-Man's special abilities, and Batman's technology team, the rise of Iron Man is more from Tony. ?Stark's genius and diligence. The 'Steel Armor' has been revised and improved step by step from its birth, entirely from Tony's personal hand.
With the release of Iron Man, Duke Rosenberg has brought more than just an alternative superhero, he has brought a whole new dimension to Robert Downey Jr. and Marvel Comics.
In a sense, Tony Stark is also a shadow of Robert Downey Jr. Downey became famous very early, but he was taking drugs, carrying guns, going to prison, and all kinds of bad things that cost him a lot of good time, fortunately He met Duke Rosenberg, and with Iron Man, he came back into the limelight with a new positive image.
Iron Man is not only Downey's redemption, but also a milestone for Marvel. Those who have watched the film can easily find that Marvel has a series of plans, the successful business of Iron Man, Duke Rosenberg Grid has opened up a new situation for Marvel, and it is foreseeable that from now until long into the future, the big screen will usher in a great era of Marvel superheroes.
Reading this, Rachel McAdams couldn't help frowning slightly, and she found another thing she had overlooked.
In the whole series, Pepo Bochi is just a vase. Even if he continues to appear later, it is impossible to change his status, and the opponent's Natasha Normanov is not just a vase. If the inference is correct, she Not only a member of the Avengers, but also a very key figure.
Rachel McAdams was unbalanced again, but she could control her own mentality, and after a little adjustment, she stood up and proposed, Let's go to Chanel?
Scarlett is like a sweet girl who is not very assertive. She has no objection. She grabs her handbag and walks to Rachel McAdams. Then hurry up, there are still many stores that you haven't visited yet?
The two walked on Rodeo Drive, and when they passed by a theater, they took a special look. The huge poster of Iron Man in front of the theater was quite attractive. (To be continued ^)
