Chapter 208 Spider-Man vs. Batman Returns
Wang Lei, who was drinking Feizhai Happy Water, looked at Maguire who lost his smile on the TV.
I muttered to myself that this would not lead to the early birth of Bully Maguire.
Wang Lei does not want to forcefully interfere with the direction of the media.
The entertainment media has always been best at adapting to the changing circumstances. As long as Spider-Man 1 becomes a big hit, the actor who plays the little spider will naturally be enveloped in applause and flowers.
As for the suffering he is suffering now, it can be considered to fit the plot of Spider-Man in the movie where he is not understood by the police and the public.
If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight. He hopes that Maguire will make him stronger in the face of controversy.
But the next news made Wang Lei frown secretly.
In an interview, Warner’s president said disdainfully:
"Although Paramount's financial report is very good, but among the five major Hollywood companies, I think it should be removed!"
The reporters immediately asked curiously:
"Why do you say that? Paramount has recently launched a major special effects production that will be released soon."
The other four slandering Paramount for indulging in small productions is not a matter of a day or two.
This time, the media felt that the other party had a bit of a double standard, and wanted to hear what else he wanted to say.
"Humph, Paramount has lost the ability to create original scripts. In order to reduce costs, it found a stranger actor as the protagonist. What market appeal can a newcomer have? I'm sure Spider-Man will be a huge failure."
The reporters were in an uproar, wondering what was wrong with this big shot and why he was slandering his competitors so much.
Aren’t you guys also making DC hero movies?
Could it be that you are working so hard to promote your own "Spider-Man Homecoming" that was released in advance?
"Boss, don't take it to heart. The other four have been slandering us for more than a day or two."
Shirley looked worriedly at Wang Lei, whose face was full of anger and was on the verge of exploding.
"Humph, this is just a dog eager to express his attitude to his master. How could I get angry with him?"
Hearing what Wang Lei said, Shirley looked much more relaxed.
At this moment, Wang Lei suddenly changed his voice:
"But Maguire is the actor we focus on supporting. No matter what, we at Paramount must show our support for him and make him feel like home."
"Okay, I'm going to hold a press conference right now."
The reporters who received the invitation were also surprised. This is the first time Paramount has publicly countered the tit-for-tat remarks of the Big Four.
Shirley, dressed in professional attire, was besieged by reporters as soon as she appeared.
"Ms. Shirley, do you want to say something about President Warner's remarks?"
"Yes."
"You have always maintained a silent attitude in the past. Are you acquiescing to the other party's Paramount approach of not seeking advancement?"
“I’m sorry, I didn’t call everyone here today to defend myself.
I'm here to say something pertinent to our Spider-Man, Maguire. "
Shirley's sonorous words made everyone fall silent.
"Hollywood has never been a place where heroes are judged by their appearance. I am certain that Maguire is born to be the best actor to play Spidey, and this role was created for him.
I believe that as long as everyone walks into the big screen, they will be conquered by Maguire's acting skills. "
The reporter was not satisfied with her statement and continued to ask:
"Then what do you want to say to Warner?"
“Blowing out other people’s lamps does not make you any brighter;
Blocking other people's way will not make you go further! "
There was no blame, no angry retort, just freedom and indifference.
Coupled with her elegant and generous appearance, her level and accomplishments are many times higher than the president of Warner.
People spontaneously applauded Shirley's speech.
Shirley's words spread among movie fans after being reported.
The majority will always remain silent. People have long been fed up with the big four’s nonsense and the media’s verbal and written punishment of Paramount!
Because public opinion was in the hands of certain people, and there was no Internet at that time, they had no place to express their true thoughts.
Most people are more disgusted with the four giants who forcefully hold them hostage.
They love horror movies made by Paramount.
The Grim Reaper and The Extinction Plan are among their favorites.
Don't look at the fact that the box office of the two movies is not as good as that of some big productions, but the revenue brought by video tapes and discs to Paramount far exceeds the box office revenue.
Because small productions will definitely not have overwhelming publicity, they will become loyal fans of the two movies through offline means.
They don't care whether it's a big or small production, they just know they want to see sequels to both movies.
I hope there will be more similar small but exquisite works on the market.
And now the shameless Warner wants to extinguish their lights, which is really an unforgivable crime.
Especially when the other side targets Paramount while also taking poor Maguire with them.
The other person is a child who came out of a divorced family and works alone in Vanity Fair Hollywood. His sunny smile makes people feel heartbroken.
Your criticism from a big shot is undoubtedly destroying a child's future. It is an unforgivable and heinous crime.
The president of Warner has become a rat that everyone wants to beat, and many single mothers spontaneously started to attack him.
Spat at him, or block him on his way to get off work.
What surprised the president of Warner was that many superstars also stood up to criticize his remarks. The key is that he was helpless against these people.
Because most of them have mediocre looks but excellent acting skills, and they earn their living based on their ability.
Some people have had many ups and downs and are not afraid of revenge from Warner.
Due to pressure from everywhere, the president of Warner had to apologize in front of the media, but no one felt the sincerity of his apology and shouted:
"'Batman Returns' will definitely give 'Spider-Man' some color, let's let the box office speak for itself."
In order to defeat Spider-Man head-on, Warner postponed the 8000 million-dollar production of Batman Returns just to give Paramount some color.
The media remained silent. Warner, with Batman's trump card, is indeed an opponent that Spidey cannot compete with.
The last Batman was first put on the big screen by Warner Bros. in 89. At that time, it was just a $3500 million trial.
Unexpectedly, it caused a sensation as soon as it was released.
The North American box office alone reached US$2.51 million, and the global box office reached US$4.11 million, making it the annual box office champion!
Batman Returns, which is about to be released now, is the second part of the Batman series and costs as much as 8000 million US dollars!
Compared to Paramount's Spider-Man, Batman Returns is a star-studded one.
Regardless of production costs, Batman crushes Spider-Man.
What makes the media even less optimistic about Spider-Man is that in the comic book era, DC was more popular than Marvel Comics.
Warners already has experience with live-action movies, while Paramount is still new to hero movies.
