"Dear audience friends, I am now at the gate of the cinema. The one behind me is one of the most visited theaters in Los Angeles. Through the lens, you can see that the number of spectators coming in and out is really impressive, and people really feel the facts. : Summer is finally here!"

The location hostess of Fox TV, Wendy-Haddock (wendy-haddock) is holding the microphone and standing in front of the camera. She is recording the interview. Her face is filled with a bright smile, kindly and enthusiastically, with Los Angeles. The bright and hot sun complemented each other.

"Saturday has always been the peak time for viewing movies, and this summer's opening game has attracted countless attention. I believe that every audience has their own choices and judgments, and I look forward to seeing more outstanding ones. Just now we interviewed the theater manager and learned that as of 3 pm, today’s theater has set a record for single-day movie viewing this year, and the attendance rate of the movie has exceeded 50%. The summer file really deserves its reputation!"

At this moment, the crowded and busy scene behind Wendy reminds people of the prosperity and excitement of the New Year’s Eve party, demonstrating the power of the summer file, and more and more attention is focused on this unveiling. On war.

For Paramount and the "Thor" crew, this is a torment, a hard fight, and even more a disaster. They don’t even know how they got into a dilemma; but for the media reporters, it’s It's a carnival party. Even the TV station couldn't help but participate in it, and arrived in person to interview the grand occasion, hoping to foresee the development trend of this opening battle in the first place.

If—just a hypothesis, if the box office of "Thor" at the premiere loses to the box office of the next week of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" and loses the North American weekend box office leaderboard, then this is equivalent to lighting the crater, no, this It is equivalent to throwing a ton of explosives into the crater. For the news media, this is the New Year's Eve party.

"Then, let's walk into this opening battle that attracted the attention of the entire North America." Wendy waved to her cameraman, walked towards the audience, and quickly found one. An interviewee said, "Which work did you come to watch?"

"'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5'." Standing in front of him was a big tattooed guy who simply replied. Under Wendy's questioning, he explained, "I originally planned to watch Thor. I saw it during the Super Bowl midtime commercial, but I heard that the movie was boring, so I chose'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5'. Tickets for this movie are very popular. I came a little late today, but I still have to Lined up, and finally missed the deadline for buying tickets for the three o'clock game, and only bought the three-thirty game."

"Thor, of course, is Thor." Wendy's second interview was a college student-like young man. His face was affirmative, but instead attracted Wendy's attention, and he mentioned the recent early stage of "Thor". Comments, did not expect the young man waved his hand again and again, his face showed a big smile, "No, no no. I mean, I know those comments, but I don't care. I am a big fan of Marvel, do others like it? , It’s not important. What’s important is that I support it unconditionally."

In addition, there are two movies that both choose to watch, such as the couple in front of me, "Yes, we will watch both movies. No matter good or bad, I only know after watching it in person. What's more, this time Both movies have created too many topics, and we also want to see what kind of work it is. Anyway, we dated today and there was nothing else to do."

Later, Wendy interviewed a ticket sales staff who had just left work and asked about the ticket sales of the two movies. The middle-aged woman in her early thirties gave an unexpected answer, "Yes, of Thor. The ticket sales speed is now temporarily ahead, the advantage is very weak, but the fact is indeed the case."

Wendy did not hide her surprise, "Is this true?"

After witnessing Friday’s box office decline, mainstream views are not optimistic about the box office trend of "Thor", especially when the media and audience reputation are at a disadvantage. Is it possible that "Thor" is going out of the "Transformers 2" style The box office curve?

"At present, it is true. Now, the pre-sale results of'Thor' are still leading, but the real-time ticket sales of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5'are on the rise. The viewing situation this afternoon and evening is still unfavorable. I know." The staff member was calm and calm, telling the truth, obviously he was already familiar with such interviews, "Moreover, this is only the situation in our cinema, and other theaters are not known."

Recalling the content of the interview carefully, Wendy could not help but nodded. "Thor" and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" are indeed inextricably difficult to distinguish, but thanks to the premiere of this week, plus "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" "5" The huge energy of 95 million has exploded last week, and now it is indeed the "Thor" that has a slight advantage.

But this is not good news for "Thor". Originally, he was looking forward to a hearty victory, but now he has fallen into such a hard fight, and he is still facing the box office next week of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5". Not optimistic. What's more, the current advantage is very weak, the battle situation is still extremely anxious, and whether he can win is still unknown.

After bidding farewell to the staff member, Wendy was ready to continue her interview, but she caught a tall and strong figure out of her sight. The first reaction was only because of the physique, which was a bit conspicuous among the turbulent crowd, but then Wendy squinted his eyes slightly, a flash of light in his mind, the words blurted out, "Chris!"

That's Chris Hemsworth!

Wendy didn't even have time to greet her accompanying photographer, so she rushed up, but the crowd was really too turbulent at this time in the theater. The bustling crowd blocked the way one after another. Wendy could only watch the figure disappear. In the sea of ​​people.

The photographer followed and asked what was going on. Wendy stomped annoyedly. "I seem to see Chris."

"Really?" The photographer didn't believe it. "They are now in a period of intensive publicity, not to mention the box office of the premiere. In a short time, their publicity density will definitely not drop. How come they have time to come to the cinema "Wendy thought about it carefully, and found that she couldn't refute, "You must have read it wrong."

Wendy sighed long, "Maybe I was too eager."

Chris Hemsworth only felt a layer of cold sweat oozing from his back. He had put on a baseball cap, but he was still recognized? Does this mean that his awareness has risen to a new level? Originally this was a good thing, but he was not happy, and quickly lowered the brim of his hat, and walked quickly towards the ticket counter.

The "Thor" crew just ended a live broadcast of a radio show, interviews with two magazines, and two websites this morning. In the evening, they will open fan meeting activities in major cities in North America. The first stop tonight is to go to Las Vegas. Vegas. The promotion schedule was full, and there was no rest time for the next half a month, but before heading to the airport, they had four hours of free time, which is why he came to the cinema.

Sitting in a hotel, or in a bar, he felt restless on pins and needles. Those turbulent news were endless, and he couldn't calm down at all, especially after the box office on Friday, the atmosphere of the entire crew was extremely depressing.

Although the propaganda team and the agent team are working hard to cheer everyone up, everyone cheered up and pretended that there was hope; but after quieting down, the dull atmosphere was almost breathless. That was terrible. The box office data is like a boulder, weighing heavily on the chest—

Each of them knows that hope still exists. This is a fact, but it is getting more and more faint and disappearing little by little.

Chris doesn't want to admit this reality. To be precise, the entire crew and Paramount Pictures don't want to admit this reality. They are still looking forward to a miracle, or perhaps, longing for a miracle.

Chris knows that they still need to show tolerance and confidence in front of the media. I didn't care about those negative comments, but showed the appearance of actively learning and listening to opinions; expressed concern about the box office trend, but showed a gesture of giving more trust to the audience. UU reading www.uukanshu.com only in this way, the box office has the possibility of picking up.

However, he still lacks confidence after all. Distracted, upset, and irritable.

For a while, I think of the appearance of Lan Li’s disdain, and I think of the appearance of Lan Li who is so decisive at the beginning, and I think of the appearance of trying to fight for Sol, and I think of his success and fame after Lan Li. The gray-headed look, and for a while, he remembered the embarrassment of Lan Li who was still rolling off Broadway... all kinds of chaotic thoughts made him feel like sitting on pins and needles. So he appeared in the cinema closest to the hotel.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe he wants to see with his own eyes whether the crowd of "Thor" movie viewers is so bad; maybe he can listen to the audience's evaluation and increase his confidence; maybe, he should watch "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" 5", spy on the enemy; maybe, he should pretend to communicate directly with the audience to promote "Thor"...

Perhaps, he can purchase a ticket in person and contribute to the box office of "Thor"-perhaps, he can pack a whole row of seats and make more contributions to the box office. But if there are audiences who want to watch the movie, but can't buy tickets because of his behavior, and simply turn to "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", wouldn't it be counterproductive? Or should he not be so noticeable?

What kind of scene the movie theater is like, in the description of the media, after all, there is still a lack of realism. This inexhaustible sense of emptiness also makes them more uncertain about the box office of "Thor". Twenty-three million, this data is indeed not good, but what is the picture in the movie theater?

Maybe, he can gain some confidence... right.
