Chapter 13

The tense scene imagined by the media did not appear.

On the other side, director Marc Webb breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was worried that the two of them were young and energetic and prone to conflict; it seems they are very calm."

"Is this calm? They were already very impulsive when they bet with people before."

Producer Avi shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"500 million US dollars? We are lucky if we can have 400 million, God bless."

"Don't be so pessimistic, don't you have confidence in my movie yet?" Marc Webb teased.

"No."

"F**k off! You jerk!"

Marc Webb himself actually had no bottom, the only thing he could believe in was Xu Can's performance.

The shots of previous action blockbusters were all cut very fragmented, and the lack of realism after watching fast cuts and fast edits too much.

This time, many of their shots were unprecedentedly filmed in real life!

And Xu Can never used a stunt double, and all the actions were almost done in one take! It simply dropped his jaw!

If there is a miracle, perhaps the miracle is in Xu Can!

With a nervous heart, he walked into the gate of Galaxy Cinema.

The entire cinema belonged to a super-large screening hall, which could accommodate up to 1,800 people.

At this time, the inside of the screening hall was already full, and looking up, it was all black heads!

Excluding the media and the main creative team, there were at least 1,500 audience members on the scene.

It is said that on the day of the pre-sale of the premiere tickets, the queue at the ticket window extended to two kilometers away! Many people queued here to grab tickets the night before!

In addition, there were about 5,700 cinemas of all sizes across North America, with more than 35,000 screens.

Excluding the Warner cinema chain, which had a competitive relationship and low scheduling, all major cinema chains in the United States would be released simultaneously at 24:00 that night, which was Friday morning.

Of course, currently, only the screening hall for the premiere was full of people.

Those who were willing to come here to support were naturally Marvel fans or die-hard Spider-Man fans.

Regardless of whether the live-action movie was good-looking or not, as long as it was released, they would support it without thinking!

Among the many audience members, nerds Leonard and Howard were also sitting at the premiere scene.

Next to them were friends from the same school, Sheldon and Raj.

This American comic fan squad was like a holiday, and everyone came to watch the movie in Spider-Man's tights.

This movie-watching opportunity was hard-won; they queued for a night, their bladders were almost bursting, and they finally bought tickets at the last minute.

There were also many movie fans on the scene wearing masks and fully equipped to watch the movie.

It belonged to a large Spider-Man cosplay gathering.

When a group of people were whispering and chatting, the lead actor Xu Can helped Emma Stone into the scene.

Compared to the applause for Franco just now, the applause for Xu Can was obviously lighter.

After all, this was his debut.

Before this, he had no fame, a pure amateur.

Xu Can didn't care, sat in his seat with Stone Sister with a smile, and prepared to watch the movie.

To be honest, he didn't care whether the applause was enthusiastic or not.

Xu Can's mind was full of the first movie he starred in, the new version of "Spider-Man" in the parallel world!

He hadn't even seen the finished film; he, like the movie fans around him, was watching this movie for the first time!

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Spider-Man fans and friends! Welcome to the premiere of 'Spider-Man'!"

"Our superhero is about to meet you, are you ready?"

The passionate host was mobilizing the atmosphere at the scene before the screening.

"Yeah!"

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man!"

The movie fans were in high spirits and responded in unison! Everyone couldn't wait!

"Next, please hold your breath and enjoy the movie time."

Whoosh—

The moment the host stepped down, the lights at the scene went out.

The screen was lit up!

Seeming a bit nervous, Xu Can clearly felt that the cold little hand of Emma Stone next to him reached over, and it was still trembling slightly.

He grabbed her soft hand, and the temperature on his hand was passed to her.

Stone Sister's trembling gradually stopped and returned to tranquility.

"Spider-Man," it's here!

A beam of white light lit up the black curtain, the camera moved down, and the dignified goddess statue held the torch high.

The comic book turned quickly, and familiar comic characters flickered.

[MARVEL]

In the deep blue curtain full of science fiction, silver spider webs were all over.

In the opening animation full of design sense, the main creative staff were brought over one by one.

Appearing at the same time as the movie title was Xu Can's magnetic voice-over.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell this story one more time."

"My name is Peter Parker, and I'm an ordinary high school student."

"When I was 6, my parents died in a plane crash. Since then, I have been raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May."

"For 10 years, I have just been an ordinary high school student, living a carefree life."

The tone of Xu Can's narration was not serious at all,

he carried more of the rebellious spirit of a high school teenager, as well as the witty and talkative attribute of Peter Parker in the comics.

Combined with the hip-hop trend-style background music, it was as if a real high school student was telling you a story face-to-face.

Three words summarized it: Grounded!

Audiences used to the cookie-cutter Hollywood industrial movies, in less than 30 seconds, instantly became interested in this character!

A sense of freshness came to their faces!

Accompanied by Xu Can's narration, it was the summary of Peter Parker's previous story performed in a colorful comic style.

From the time his father encountered danger in childhood, forced to stay at Uncle Ben's house;

Then his parents died, little Parker was lost and helpless;

Later, under the care of Uncle Ben and Aunt May, they had become a family;

In the comics, little Parker looked at himself in the mirror...

"And... Now! Back to the present!"

The comic-style images gradually faded, and live-action images appeared at the same time!

Little Parker had grown up, and Xu Can's sunny and handsome face was revealed in the mirror!

"Wow!"

"Holy..."

"Wait, What?"

Xu Can himself in the seat could clearly hear that low exclamations came from the film critic area and the movie fan area behind him.

Obviously, this silky seamless transition made everyone marvel.

From the 2D world, it was instantly pulled closer to the 3D world, and there was no sense of violation!
