968: Let's guess the box office
"This catastrophe has begun, we can't resist..."
The Internet is full of trailers for "Avengers"! Oily Tumblr websites, Facebook websites, Twitter websites, one wonderful trailer after another, one cool poster image after another, making people drool. More of the behind-the-scenes interview videos.
Such a movie that has huge investment and is waiting for by many comic fans and superhero fans.
When the filming started, many directors had to combine many superheroes into the big problem, but Li Donglai took over in the end. When creating the script, he tried his best to show the content of family affection in the film, and in terms of pictures and special effects, he did not want to make a super blockbuster. He must have the fast-paced style and characteristics of Li Donglai. The movie is 3D, and the picture gives the audience an immersive feeling, rather than letting the film shoot in long shots, making the movie full of dialogue plots everywhere...
Well, there is no need to describe too much. Every movie fan will see this kind of details on the front and behind the scenes on the website every day.
Now it's finally here, this crazy viral marketing storm has made the popularity of "Avengers" soar again and again, with tens of millions and millions of fans around the world looking forward to superheroes jumping out of different movie screens and gathering in "Avengers".
Most American movie fans have a sense of joy in the holidays. The movie viewing craze brought by "The Hunger Games" just subsided a few days ago. Can "Avengers" continue their glory?
As for "Avengers", as long as everyone knows its existence, it is very good to know this "Li Donglai's 300 million-dollar science fiction new film"!
Even the popularity of the starring Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johnson, Chris Evans and others does not need to be used. As long as Li Donglai, the youngest and most talented director in Hollywood. That super director who is only 25 years old this year!
Movie fans only need to know: "Li Donglai's movies have never disappointed anyone!"
Of course, the higher the popularity, the better. It’s not just viral marketing, but not just Li Donglai. Li Donglai is not very clear about how much the global publicity cost of "Avengers" has been spent. There is also a rough number, which must be up 100 million.
Cinema trailers, posters, TV commercials, behind-the-scenes movies, outdoor advertising, magazine covers, personnel interviews, daytime/late night talk shows... they are all over the world.
The film promotion system is now very mature. What's more, this time it is such a blockbuster.
The film's production companies, Marvel, Paramount, Phantom, Walt Disney, etc., are all giants with great energy. They want to bring the trailer to satellite and play it for aliens.
With such amazing publicity scale now, no one dares to underestimate the box office performance of "Avengers", although it has various innovation risks. Li Donglai was questioned by the rules of office buildings, only business, etc. However, with his courage to challenge global fame and status as the first box office, and the continuous superhero movies, "Captain America", "Thor", and "Iron Man" are only for this 300 million movie collection of superheroes.
According to media organizations' predictions, even if they suffer a tragic Waterloo, the global box office of "Avengers" will easily exceed 300 million.
Even if it is to watch a big bad movie by Li Donglai, no matter how bad it is, it is worth the ticket price.
This superhero feast also gathered a team of luxurious stars. After "Captain America" Chris Evans, "Loki" Tom Hiddleston, "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, and "Hulk" Mark Ruffalo entered the venue one by one, "Black Widow" Scarlett Johnson and "Hawkeye" and director Li Donglai walked on the red carpet hand in hand. "Iron Man" actor Robert Downey Jr. drove a limited edition red luxury sports car, causing a sensation.
Even Stan Lee, a veteran of Marvel Comics and one of the creators of the "Avengers" series, couldn't help but be cool, and rode a motorcycle onto the red carpet with a pipe in his mouth. The movie fans were a little surprised. Why is this motorcycle so old, but they will soon find the answer in the movie.
The red carpet show finally came late, and they had just attended a media meeting for more than an hour indoors.
Everyone was here, and the premiere red carpet entrance ceremony officially began.
Tens of thousands of people were waiting for both sides of the long red carpet to watch early. They held posters or books in their hands, waiting for the stars to sign their names when they passed by.
"Li Donglai! Li Donglai! Li Donglai!"
"Ahhh!"
At this time, the fans on both sides of the railings were in a commotion again. Li Donglai, who was wearing a black suit, waved at them with a smile. The female fans immediately screamed excitedly, waving the posters, commemorative manuals and other items in their hands: "Ahhhh... Li Donglai! Scarlett!"
Photographers were busy with Bai's photos with cameras. Because Li Donglai and Robert Downey Jr. were very funny, a lot of celebrities... just don't stop people from calming down.
They also stopped tactfully and signed autographs to the fans on both sides.
"Li Donglai! Li Donglai! Li Donglai!"
I don’t know when, the shouts of thousands of movie fans became uniform, and they kept shouting names in a rhythmic manner to express their love: “Li Donglai, Li Donglai!”…
It's really incredible!
In this environment of ten thousand people in unison, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, those who are not familiar with Li Donglai are very surprised. Look at Li Donglai over there, but now... what's more amazing is that he is a Chinese, which is an unavoidable topic, but now he has completely eliminated prejudice and conquered these movie fans. It's amazing that every move makes them so crazy!
In fact, a premiere was held in Tokyo, Asia earlier, and only Li Donglai was absent that time. But there was no way, everyone knew Emma was going to give birth. Now, in Los Angeles, at the doorstep of Hollywood, I finally saw him.
Jax is a fan of Li Donglai and a fan of superheroes. He was very excited when he heard that Li Donglai was going to direct "Avengers". He had been looking forward to this for more than a year. Today is so exciting. Finally, he met Li Donglai and could see the movie as soon as possible. Oh, he got the premiere ticket.
Although there has not been face-to-face conversation, I feel an unprecedented satisfaction!
At this time, listening to these shouts at the non-red carpet entrance on the other side, Jax wanted to shout with him, but suddenly felt a lot of pressure for Li Donglai. If "Avengers" were screwed up, they might immediately curse, let alone critics; this is not surprising, even if he is so hardcore, he would be disappointed, especially as a film critic, he cannot let himself be restrained by the mentality of fans.
How hot can a movie be before it is released? The answer to "Avengers" is infinitely hot.
Today, it will finally be released globally, and it has entered what movie fans say, "Avengers time"!
"Give me two tickets to the Avengers!"
This is a carnival for movie fans. The whole of North America was in full swing 43.49 million theaters and countless excited young people flocked to them. Countless people were told by the ticket seller helplessly: "Sorry, the tickets for "Avengers" were sold out tonight, but we still have "The Hunger Games" and "Think Like a Man" are all very good. I recommend you..." The young man couldn't help but go crazy: "Oh no."
"Whether you buy it or not, the people behind you are still queuing up. But don't be too disappointed, there will be a ticket for the next game."
"Give it to me!" he shouted immediately. But are you waiting for this period of time? "There is no way, let's pass the time with another Hunger Games."
After looking at the guy's crazy look, he heard a long line of complaining. A blonde beauty and a friend passed by and sighed and they couldn't see the first scene. It was so pitiful!
Fortunately, they bought pre-sale tickets very early, and it was great to enjoy "Avengers" with friends!
"Oni, have you bought the ticket?"
Several little girls gathered at the entrance of a cinema.
"Huh, I finally fulfilled my mission. Let's go and see the new Oppa movie together." Meng Jia ran out excitedly with a few tickets in his hand. They were the fans of Ss-a and IU.
They are very famous now. If they go to the cinema to watch movies so openly, they will be troubled by crazy fans. Several people nodded and walked in with excitement.
"Let me see the charm of "Avengers"!"
The 4,349 theaters in North America are all overcrowded, with many "star audiences" hidden. Nina Dubov chewing the film, Lily Collins drinking Coke, and Smith and his sons who agreed to watch early...numbers, and there are still people who will definitely make many movie fans crazy. Cameron also took advantage of his spare time to see how this movie combines a large number of superheroes together.
After the release was simultaneously launched, fans from all over the world were dispatched.
Li Donglai's blockbuster is not to be missed. He hasn't directed a blockbuster for a long time. The last "Iron Man 2" was so popular that it still remembers it. That time, he directly pushed a $400 million movie to a level of 1 billion in the sequel. Only Nolan's "Batman" has done this, but the audience is even more looking forward to this "Avengers".
The final interview was held in the premiere hall.
"Let's finally predict the box office for the first weekend?" the host suggested.
A few of them were modest, ladies were given priority, and Scarlett would come first.
"It's good if it's over 100 million." Scarlett said conservatively.
The reporters in the audience suddenly burst into noise and said that they were unhappy with this number.
"150 million, this number is very good."
Chapter completed!
