Fans, as the foundation of their existence in the Hollywood entertainment circle, of course Kevin will not do anything to hurt his popularity. Kevin is very aware of this.

Some celebrities, who have been on the top for a long time, it is easy to ignore ordinary fans, but Kevin will not.

As soon as he entered the scene, the person in charge of organizing the premiere ceremony hurriedly greeted him.

"Director Kevin, the premiere is all ready. People from all major media have already come and are waiting for you."

Kevin nodded, tidied up his instruments, and then walked towards the front of the stage.

As soon as he came to power, the media, who could not wait for a long time, came over and asked various questions.

However, it has been tempered for so long. In this regard, Kevin has long been an old fritter.

The tone of voice is not leaking, and the answer is very business. After the process is completed, the red envelopes are presented, and the reporters naturally know what to say and what not to say.

Kevin is not just an ordinary director, he also has a film company that can be ranked in the top ten in Hollywood.

At the same time, he is a billionaire.

All kinds of identities make reporters dare not offend him at will.

Do you really think that journalists can have absolute freedom? In front of these powerful figures, freedom is always relative.

At the same time, the nun Russ Cage, Robert Downey Jr., and the starring Spider-Man took turns to be interviewed.

The whole process lasted two hours.

After meeting the needs of the majority of movie fans to watch the stars, this is the time for the official release of the movie.

The large movie hall, which can accommodate 200 people, was full.

There were no less than a thousand fans who came here this time. After the premiere, the theater line was busy arranging so many audiences.

It's finally arranged.

However, among them, the two hundred viewers who were able to participate in the premiere with Kevin and the others were undoubtedly the luckiest.

The main actors of the film, the people behind the scenes are sitting in the first row, and the audience is behind.

Soon, the movie started showing.

The auditorium, which was still slightly noisy, quickly quieted down, and all the audience turned their attention to the big screen.

・・・

The plot of Spider-Man is very simple. A nerd, a luther in school, suddenly gets an adventure and becomes a superhero story.

This is a foolproof routine for many commercial films in Hollywood.

In terms of story structure, Spider-Man is invincible.

However, the simpler the story structure, the better the director's skill.

Just like the quality of a chef can be seen from a plate of fried rice with eggs.

At the beginning of the plot, through a few simple pictures, the image of Peter Parker, the bullied nerd, is vividly displayed.

Then, the scene of visiting the rare spider, through the various hints of the music screen, let the audience know that the plot is about to come to a turning point.

The spider bit Peter.

Then everything changed.

Peter Parker, no longer mortal.

For film theory, this moment is the time when the audience feels the strongest sense of substitution.

The protagonist, from an ordinary person, has evolved into an ordinary human being.

Audiences will also fantasize about what it would be like to get this kind of adventure for themselves.

The core of all film and television works is to create a sense of expectation and substitution.

If the audience can watch the beginning and want to see the end, then the film is a success.

As for Kevin's Spider-Man, in addition to retaining the wonderful scenes that the original work should have, the excessive scenes did not have too much ink, but cut through at the fastest speed.

The rhythm of the entire movie is accelerated, and the extra time is given to more content from the Marvel Universe.

The full rhythm made the audience mesmerized and watched with bated breath.

At the end of the picture, Spider-Man Peter Parker is swinging in the city, and the Stark Building is his background board.

In the picture, a small Iron Man armor fell from the sky and entered the Stark Building.

On the ground, a skeleton riding a flame motorcycle, galloping wildly.

Among the audience, those with good eyesight and Marvel Comics fans exclaimed:

"Is that Ghost Rider and Iron Man?"

A huge surprise filled the hearts of such audiences.

There are three types of moviegoers who come here to watch the movie.

The first category is those who are attracted by promotional films and just like to watch commercial films. This type of audience is the largest, and it is also the target that any film company needs to strive for.

The second category is Steve Kevin's fans, who fanatically love all of Steve Kevin's works. This is a typical fan.

The third category is Marvel fans.

Comic fans, and IP fans who grew up listening to and watching Marvel comics.

Among them, the first type of audience is the most, and the third type of audience is the second most.

As for Kevin's fans, it is the least.

Spider-Man, filmed by Kevin, has given comic book fans a huge surprise.

And ordinary commercial movie audiences also expressed their admiration for the movie.

Chapter 237 Spider-Man's Amazing First Day Box Office

This is definitely a top commercial production.

Maybe it's not as deep as the dark knight's connotation, not liked by film critics, and its reputation will be relatively poor.

But its audience goes beyond the Batman Dark Knight style.

Simply put, this theme style will make more money than Batman Dark Knight.

As for Kevin's fans, needless to say.

The movie deserved their love.

Amid the cheers, the Spider-Man premiere came to a close.

And Kevin also followed his promise and started the signing party at the entrance of the cinema.

After signing hundreds of autographs and letting the time come to ten o'clock in the evening, Kevin finished his work and returned to the villa.

 

"You're back."

Helen quickly came out to help Kevin remove the suit outside.

The weather in July was quite hot. Although there was an air conditioner in the cinema, Kevin was still sweating when there were too many people.

In the bathroom, the two women helped Kevin clean up his personal hygiene, clean up and clean up, and everything happened smoothly.

A good show of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

-------------------------------------

Early the next morning, Kevin came to the company full of energy.

The uninterrupted practice of the Eight Vajra exercises has made his physical condition better and better. With the addition of various health supplements, Kevin's current physical condition is no worse than when he just graduated.

Along the way, he greeted various employees, and then Kevin got into his office.

After the data was sent at around 3:00 in the afternoon, Kevin knew whether Spider-Man was successful or not.

Lying on the sofa in the office, Kevin looked at the old phone in his hand and suddenly missed his smartphone.

Unfortunately, there is still ten years before the rise of Apple, and there is no hope in the short term.

Mitt and Zack Snyder, two living treasures, also ran over shortly after Kevin came in.

They each took a few newspapers in their hands and started fighting.

Kevin ignored them, just picked up some best-selling books from the bookshelf beside him and read them.

There are countless treasures in the memories of past lives.

Not everything though, as Kevin remembers well, sometimes requires some kind of trigger medium.

For example, some movies adapted from best-selling books, Kevin may not remember.

"Spider-Man, a pure entertainment movie, a void as dark as space and boring, without any meaningful content, there is only one thing, and that is entertainment."

Mitt deliberately read a bad review from a film critic, then looked at Kevin's expression.

But to Mitt's disappointment, Kevin's face didn't change at all, as if he didn't care about the bad reviews at all.

Mitt couldn't help complaining:

"Kevin, aren't you angry when the critics criticize you?"

While complaining, Mitt read two more negative comments.

"The increasingly disappointing Oscar for best director, Steve Kevin, seems to have lost the courage to fight since he won the Oscar, and the movies he made tend to be more and more pure entertainment. I'm very disappointed, a big director shouldn't be like this, he should make more meaningful films, and I hope in the future, he can recognize this and change himself."

"Trash, it's all trash, Steve Kevin's movies, more and more trash."

"..."

Kevin glanced at Mitt and said as usual:

"Don't pay too much attention to the opinions of film critics. This is what you should learn from the beginning as a director."

"He can do it. He thinks the movie is not good. Can't he shoot it himself?"

"Well, there are audience comments, where do we need to have an extra film critic out of thin air."

Mitt rolled his eyes.

"Then Kevin, what should I do if others call Spider-Man meaningless?"

Kevin was speechless.

"Does Movies Need Connotations?"

"Don't ask me such stupid questions in the future."

Mitt smirked.

Having been with Kevin for so long, he knows that commerciality or entertainment is what Kevin pursues. As for the connotation, he can have it or not.

The premise is that it does not affect the viewing of the video.

Even he and Zack Snyder have to admit that there are far more viewers who like to watch purely commercial films than so-called works of art.

And more than one or two.

After a simple interruption, we chatted for a while, and the time soon came to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The staff from Chenxi Company and the cinema line came to Kevin's office on time to deliver Spider-Man's data on the first day.

Mitt took the data and looked at it.

Then his face became happy, and he couldn't wait to say:

"Guess, how much was the box office on the first day?"

Zach Snyder was not used to him, and he grabbed the data without waiting for him to sell.

"Sixty-eight million dollars!!!"

Zack Snyder almost shouted out the number with a trembling voice.

This box office achievement once again broke Steve Kevin's first-day box-office record and set a new Hollywood first-day box office record.

"That's right, sixty-eight million dollars!"

Mitt couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted wildly.
