Chapter 481 Youth Market
May 3rd, Friday.
"Spider-Man", released in theaters across the United States, officially kicked off the 2002 summer season.
The film was released on a large scale in 3,615 theaters. This is the second largest release in the history of the North American film market. The number of theaters is second only to last year's summer release of "Shrek" , there is no doubt that this is the peak level of the current distribution resources of Hollywood film companies.
Highlight Sony Columbia’s all-or-nothing belief.
At the same time, the entire Hollywood was moving at high speed.
Early in the morning, Jess-Herold had not completely gotten rid of the influence of waking up. Coupled with the ridiculous assigned tasks, his whole body was completely depressed and he rushed out angrily. In the boss's office, at a glance, he saw the same pitiful Alexander-Port standing in front with the camera in his hand.
Jesse was stunned, "Where are the others?"
Alexander showed an awkward smile, raised his right hand to show off his biceps, and made a Popeye gesture, "I will do it alone. The whole team.”
Jesse:…
It was so ridiculous that Jesse couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. The anger had already reached his chest, but he swallowed it after all.
At this moment, they are in the morning news department of Fox TV——
Note that morning news is not entertainment news, but the department responsible for delivering all news every morning. , mainly serious news, such as politics, society, economy, crime, etc.; of course, it also occasionally includes entertainment news.
The competition in morning news is fierce. NBC's "Today Show" and ABC's "Good Morning America" have been at each other's throats for ten years. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind; a series of morning talk shows It is a genre of its own and has a stable viewership group all year round.
Amidst this, Fox TV station struggled to survive, gradually finding a way to produce more exciting, gossipy and eye-catching news.
What if it causes controversy?
That would be even better! It’s simply a dream!
Because of this, Fox TV often reports some news in an unconventional way, which is not only bold, but sometimes even thrilling.
The same is true today -
Fox TV station has smelled the wind. They believe that this summer schedule may be changed drastically, just like when "Titanic" was released.
"Spider-Man" will either completely detonate the box office or be a shocking failure. Regardless of the former or the latter, they should not miss the opportunity to watch history from the front row. They missed witnessing the moment when "Titanic" made history. Now they It should not be missed easily again.
So, with a slap on their foreheads, they came up with an idea:
Go to the cinema and interview those viewers who bought tickets as soon as possible on Friday.
This is a terrible idea, just look at the deserted situation where no one is willing to take over the task, otherwise it would not hit the head of the unlucky guy Jesse.
Jesse knew that it must be because he broke into Arnold Schwarzenegger’s election office last time and questioned the Hollywood action star at close range about some policies he was preparing to run for governor of California. As a result, he forced Arnold to It ends badly in a corner, which is not good for the electoral image.
Although the TV station didn't say anything, Arnold still had to give an explanation after all.
So——
Unload the mill and kill the donkey!
The TV station obviously liked the news, but it couldn't admit it publicly and had to make him a scapegoat. Jesse was really confused.
Jesse knew of course that Fox had a knack for getting the job done, but the idea of interviewing Friday morning moviegoers was a fool's errand.
There is no intention to target "Spider-Man". Jesse is also looking forward to good results for the movie. He has also seen all the heated discussions triggered by the media reviews in the past 24 hours, which really makes people full of expectations for the box office prospects.
The real point is:
The interview with the premiere is understandable, but on a Friday morning, this is awkward -
Not a Thursday night midnight grab It is not a prime venue on Friday or Saturday night. It is a time that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing and has no reference significance. Even if it is a summer box office bomb, no one will rush to the cinema on Friday morning. Anyway, it has been such a long wait, so it is better to wait a little longer and find a more suitable time.
Jesse strongly suspected that when they arrived at the cinema, there might only be two or three kittens at the scene, and then it would be the real scene of the car accident.
Otherwise, how could those vampires on the TV station swarm in at the slightest hint of trouble and avoid it? Not to mention interviewing reporters, even the filming team took a detour, and in the end only two unlucky guys were left to take the blame.
What the hell!
Jesse secretly told himself that completing a bad task would mean being able to choose the subject as he wished next time, and everything was a transaction.
Shaking his head, Jesse regained his senses, "It's okay, it's okay, let's fight it quickly."
Alexander picked up the camera and said, "Where are you going?"
Jesse also had a headache, and his temples began to throb violently. It was probably hard to go to any movie theater at this time. He let out a long breath, "Century City AMC ”
At least, there is more traffic there, and it’s a good location from UCLA and USC. If young people who don’t have to go to work on Friday want to go to the movie theater early in the morning, that’s it. A choice.
In a hurry, Jesse took Alexander and set off.
……
Breathe deeply, and breathe deeply again.
However!
Blair still couldn't control his excitement. Just imagining it in his mind, his heart was beating wildly and seemed to be about to burst out of his chest.
Finally, she finally waited. Although it was less than forty-eight hours, the wait this time seemed to last for centuries.
Turning his head, Blair saw Karen. Their eyes were flashing, and Karen let out an astonishing scream without warning.
Ah, ah ah!
Blair was stunned and looked over at Karen's line of sight. No matter how much he endured, he could not control his screams and screamed along with Karen——
Humanoid Signboard .
One to one size, it perfectly replicates Anson’s slender figure and perfect proportions, with Spider-Man on the left and Peter Parker carrying a backpack on the right.
How could you not be excited?
Not only Blair and Karen, there was already a small queue in front of the human-shaped billboard, all of them girls, waiting to take photos.
Even if it is just a human-shaped sign, it is still very charming and must not be missed.
Karen looked at Blair, "I told you, I told you, we should stay, ahhh!"
Originally, after the premiere, they should Returning to New York to continue classes, the movie will be released in New York anyway, and watching it in New York is more immersive. After all, the movie is set in New York; but Karen is reluctant to leave, thinking that since she has arrived in Los Angeles, she will go to attend the premiere. It's a pity, it's better to stay here for a few more days and travel.
After all, come and come.
Blair agreed.
Sure enough, this is a surprise, an absolute surprise. You don’t even need to wait to enter the cinema to see the movie, happiness has already started to bubble in your mind.
