Kapitel 11: Chapter 11
Los Santos, Griffith Observatory.
Harsh Rai and Emma Stone lay side by side in front of the guardrail, looking at Los Santos under the purple sky in the evening
"Harsh, how did you know? This is the first time I have seen such a scene in all my years in Los Santos!"
The hazy night scene in front of her shocked Emma Stone deep in her heart.
She didn't expect that this city full of money and fame would have such a quiet scene.
"Well... I've come to see it a few times."
Harsh Rai told half the truth.
He had indeed seen it, but only in GTA5 and"La La Land"."
"Thank you, it gave me a much better impression of this city."
"By the way, why did you publicly bet on box office with film critics before? What if you lose the bet?"
Harsh Rai looked at Sister Shitou playfully.
"Who told him to say that about you? I'm furious!"
When she mentioned that film critic, Emma Stone became very angry.
Harsh Rai, who was so perfect in her mind, went into battle in person regardless of the danger, and shot so many wonderful scenes.
And he used his excellent acting skills to transform Peter Parker from front to back. Fully demonstrated.
Why should a rising star who works so hard and has talent be questioned because of racial issues?
Harsh Rai's handsomeness as Spider-Man is really more than enough!
It obviously fits the image in the comics very well!
So Harsh Rai didn't say anything yet , Emma Stone, who has always been outspoken, couldn't help but attack the film critic.
She predicted in front of the media that the box office of"Spider-Man" will exceed 500 million U.S. dollars!
If it is less than 500 million U.S. dollars, Emma Stone Stone was willing to eat an entire can of herrings alive in front of the media!
Film critic Howard Newber was also amused, and he responded to the bet
""Spider-Man" has a maximum box office of 200 million. If it exceeds 200 million, he will go skinny-dipping in the Hudson River in New York!
The two are not top-notch celebrities, but they both have a certain degree of popularity.
This bet was also hyped up by the media, making the already popular"Spider-Man" topic reach a new level.
Faced with this situation, Sony executives are actually very uneasy.
The popularity is rising, but if it fails at the box office, Sony and its Columbia Pictures will become the laughingstock of Hollywood.
Emma Stone, Harsh Rai, and director Marc Webb will also be implicated.
Producer Avi Arad also plans to talk to Sister Shitou and do some crisis public relations.
But was stopped by Harsh Rai
"I have confidence in our movie and I have confidence in Emma. Just wait and see, Avi, be optimistic."
Avi Arad was nearly fifty years old and had gray hair on his temples.
But he found that Harsh Rai, a young man in his early 20s, was calm and wise beyond his age.
So, both the media and the public witnessed this bet..
Time turns quietly, the original summer disappears, and the temperature in Los Santos gradually drops.
The day when the answer is revealed is getting closer and closer.
The film crew has released multiple trailers of"Spider-Man" in succession, and has broadcast them on CBS NBC,FOX,The CW and other TV stations broadcast it in turn.
And launched the final onslaught before the release online and offline.
Each trailer has more than 100 million views on YouTube. In addition to India, hundreds of countries and regions are paying attention to this movie.
Except of course India.
American comics have not been out of the entertainment industry in the distant Eastern continent and have always been a niche hobby.
Except for a few news reports on the topic of"Indian Spider-Man", there is basically no news on this matter.
Negotiations between Sony Entertainment and India Film are still ongoing, and the film has been submitted for review.
The specific release date is yet to be determined, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to catch up with the simultaneous premiere.
Although Harsh Rai was a little regretful about this, he was not too worried.
The main ticket sales for this movie are still in India.
[Go to read the novel on the site: Novels Knights] Only after it is released from the industry can it be promoted globally.
With one week left before its premiere,"Spider-Man" has only made $8 million in pre-sales in India.
Those who dare to buy pre-sales without thinking are basically die-hard comic fans.
The vast majority of the remaining ordinary people are still waiting and watching.
According to these data, the professional film and television magazine"Box Office Pro" gave the first weekend box office of 45-55 million US dollars.
This data is good compared to low-cost comedies, but bleak compared to large-scale special effects productions.
Even a comedy like"Football Dad" opened with $40 million and ended up with a box office of $150 million.
This is closer to the prediction of film critic Howard Newber. It seems that"Spider-Man" really cannot exceed 200 million!
"In case there is no way to break through 500 million, the worst possible outcome is canned herring."
Emma Stone actually didn't know for sure. She believed in Harsh Rai, but she was worried about the market.
"Do not worry."
Harsh Rai hugged her waist
"Certainly possible."
Spider-Man" in 2002 was able to exceed US$400 million, not to mention the new version of"Spider-Man" with completely upgraded stories, shooting techniques, and special effects!
Harsh Rai is still very confident.
"What if I eat canned herring and you dislike me?"
"Then before you eat, I want to remember the taste of your little mouth."
Harsh Rai lowered his head and kissed her.
"you! Um..."
Emma Stone was attacked and tried to push him away, but then she fell into it
...
The week passed quickly.
Harsh Rai writes scripts in his free time, goes shopping with Sister Shitou to eat, drink wine, and play around.
The premiere day has arrived!
In order to ensure an excellent premiere, Sony Entertainment spared no expense and updated its"Galaxy Cinema" with a state-of-the-art IMAX screen and Dolby stereo in advance.
When ready, at 8pm on Thursday, December 21, 2006, before Christmas Eve.
A grand premiere officially begins!
Whether it is the media that Sony paid to invite or the media who come here to enjoy the reputation, they have gathered here.
"The main creative staff of"Spider-Man" entered the theater in luxury cars one after another and walked through the red carpet into the theater to attend the premiere.
Producer Avi Arad and director Marc Webb were the first to walk down the red carpet.
He is not a star director like Spielberg, Quentin, or Cameron, and he has only been interviewed by the media for a short time.
Soon it was the turn of the old Green Goblin Willem Dafoe and his wife Giatta Colagranti to appear on the red carpet.
The Green Goblin is the film's biggest star and has been nominated for multiple Oscars.
He had just divorced two years ago, and his new wife is a well-known Italian director.
As they were caught in flashbulbs, James Franco on the other side caused a commotion.
He has become one of the more outstanding male stars in Hollywood with his works such as"Young and Wild","Freaks and Geeks" and"A King's Heart".
In theory, he originally auditioned for Spider-Man, but the role was given to Harsh Rai, so he could only play the little Green Goblin.
Reporters also raised this issue in a tricky way
"Spider-Man was supposed to be your character, but it ended up going to an unknown Asian actor. What do you think of this?"
The media reporters present are obviously here to stir up trouble, and Fu Lanlan obviously will not fall into the trap.
"You are all wrong, Harsh Rai is the best actor for Spider-Man! It was an honor to play Harry Osborn and an honor to work with Can Harsh"
"Why?"The reporter kept asking questions.
James Franco smiled.
"You'll soon know the answer when the film premieres later."
At this moment, an extended version of the white Hummer parked in front of the red carpet. The controversial male lead Harsh Rai made a shining appearance holding the gorgeous Emma Stone.
"Good guy, this battle."
Harsh Rai was attacked by countless flash lights and almost went blind.
"Who threw the high flash on A1?"
