Chapter 2265 Walking on the Red Carpet
"Guard?" Feng Yiping's word clearly impressed the female reporter, and she subconsciously repeated it. Next to her, the Marvel fans who heard Feng Yiping's words were already a little excited.
This is probably similar to the popularity of domestically popular movies and TV dramas later, and fans of the original works have the greatest expectations for the adaptation of movies and TV dramas.
The last thing they want to see is for the producers to change their favorite works into a mess beyond recognition.
This is exactly what Marvel fans are most worried about about Feng Yiping, the new Marvel boss from China.
They worry that Feng Yiping, whose cultural background is completely different from theirs, will treat and dispose of Marvel's works according to his own preferences after taking over Marvel.
For example, when some people in China later heard that a certain bearded man was planning to remake Jin Yong's works, or that a certain mother named Yu was planning to remake some drama, they had the same worries and the same helplessness.
Hearing his statement at this time, I was undoubtedly relieved and encouraged.
The female reporter was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked her next question, "We all know that Marvel has too many superheroes, so everyone wants to know why Marvel Studios is planning to film the first one after its establishment. A movie about Iron Man instead of other heroes?"
This question is quite professional. Not only the Marvel fans behind the railing, but also the reporters around him who were not allowed to interview Feng Yiping but still gathered around him to take pictures, were also quite curious about how Feng Yiping answered this question.
Like many people, they all have a question. Does the new boss of Marvel really understand Marvel's superheroes?
Some people even doubt whether he has actually read a Marvel comic?
In the Marvel universe, Iron Man is actually not that conspicuous.
Otherwise, its copyright would not still be in the hands of Marvel. It would have been bought by other Hollywood companies just like Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, and Fantastic Four.
The mighty-sounding Iron Man is actually our domestic translation of Iron\Man. However, because Iron generally means "iron" in English, many people understand this superhero in the English context. As the "Tin Man" - isn't it not impressive at all?
And it will make you think of an idiot who tied an iron sheet to his body?
For example, compared to the Hulk, who was born a year earlier than him, Iron Man doesn't seem to be the same person.
Because he once tried to exile the Hulk into space - this is why in Marvel movies, Iron Man and the Hulk are always in love and killing each other, and fight at every turn.
But the Hulk, who has super regenerative abilities, successfully returned to Earth.
Then, to put it in layman's terms, the Hulk hammered Iron Man so badly that he almost had nowhere to escape...
So this is a guy with obvious shortcomings. Among the many heroes in Marvel, he is not very eye-catching. In terms of popularity, he is completely incomparable with many superheroes, such as Spider-Man.
"I have to be honest, I'm not familiar with all the Marvel heroes," Feng Yiping said first.
This is also true. Over the years, Marvel has created too many superheroes. Even those who are true Marvel fans dare not say that they are familiar with all Marvel heroes.
"The reason why I chose Iron Man as the protagonist of the first movie produced by Marvel Studios is that, like everyone else, I chose Iron Man because he is different from other heroes. It is also the reason why he is different from other Marvel heroes. The biggest difference is that, in the final analysis, Iron Man is an ordinary person just like us."
"His abilities mainly stem from his status as an inventor,"
For ordinary superheroes, their superpowers may be innate, such as the familiar Superman; there are also some that have mutated due to some reasons, such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.
Iron Man's abilities mainly come from the armor he developed himself.
Without that armor, not to mention the Hulk, even Spider-Man, or simply Black Widow, could teach him to be a new person in minutes.
"...This is an inventor with outstanding abilities. He is graceful and, of course, very romantic. After a series of events, he understands that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, and finally becomes an inventor who has the courage to take responsibility. hero……"
This is actually a very common, but also very inspiring routine.
A person, through his own efforts, grows into a superhero, which will obviously bring him closer to everyone.
The key is that this person is different from other superheroes in that he is a bit righteous, a bit ruffian, a bit bad, a bit frivolous...
This is a guy that most people will find his shadow in the people they are familiar with, so he is not a guy who is difficult to get close to.
"Did you choose him because he grew up from an ordinary person to a superhero? Or do you value the human side behind his superhero?"
"Haha, yes, he is a very charming guy," Feng Yiping smiled and prepared to continue walking forward.
But the female reporter was obviously not ready to let go of such a rare opportunity easily, "Mr. Feng, who do you think will win at the box office, Iron Man or Pirates of the Caribbean 3?"
Sure enough, as a reporter, he hopes that his interviews can be explosive and eye-catching.
Feng Yiping stopped and said it was not a good idea not to comment on this issue.
Imagine, if Fox broadcasts such a segment in the news, "When asked what he thought of the box office of Iron Man and Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Mr. Feng smiled and said nothing..."
The effect will definitely not be very good.
But such a question is a trap in itself. If you give an either-or answer, it will definitely not satisfy the audience.
Say that Pirates of the Caribbean 3 has a high box office?
It's honest enough, but as the boss of Marvel, is it appropriate to say such a thing?
Say that Iron Man will be higher? Then you are likely to be slapped in the face.
With the cultivation of the first two films, Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean series has successfully circled a lot of loyal fans, who have been looking forward to the third film in this series.
The first two Pirates of the Caribbean's ability to attract money is even better than the first two Spider-Man films, and judging from the reactions from all sides, the box office of this third film will definitely not be bad.
"The Pirates of the Caribbean series is a very successful series, loved by many audiences around the world. Iron Man is also widely anticipated by Marvel fans around the world. I hope that our efforts can satisfy these expecting audiences,"
"I think this is the biggest wish of these two movies, including other movies released at the same time, all the actors, and the workers behind the scenes."
Just kidding, how could Boss Feng be stumped by such a simple question now?
It turns out that as a salesman, he has always abided by an iron rule, never publicly belittle your peers, because it is not only ungentlemanly, but also fundamentally equivalent to belittling yourself.
The female reporter's eyes lit up when she heard it, but before she asked the next question, Feng Yiping nodded to her and said, "Thank you."
She immediately understood that she should stop.
"Thank you Feng for accepting my interview,"
Just after dealing with one, another female reporter came up with a microphone.
This was a female reporter dressed in a fancy dress. Feng Yiping felt familiar when he saw the mark on her microphone. It was the mark of 6 movie channels.
"Hello, Mr. Feng,"
"Hello, hello," This doesn't seem to be the female host of the 6 sets that Feng Yiping is familiar with.
"Will you hold such a premiere in China in the future?"
"Before the domestic release next month, we will hold one. I also look forward to holding the world premiere of Marvel movies in China in the future,"
Feng Yiping knows that domestic audiences like to hear this.
Of course, this is what he wants to do.
"Mr. Feng, what do you think is the biggest difference between Marvel and domestic film companies? What is the difference between domestic film companies and Hollywood film companies?"
"... We all know that you have brought changes to many industries in China. In the future, what changes do you want to bring to the domestic film industry?..."
This person has a lot of questions.
"I must solemnly state that I am definitely not the most successful filmmaker in China," Feng Yiping solemnly emphasized, "The difference between Marvel and domestic film companies is mainly that Marvel itself has many comics that are popular with readers, which means it has very good sources for adaptation,"
"But this point can be made up for by other channels in the future, such as the booming online literature in China now,"
"... I hope to do my best to increase the exchange between the domestic film industry and Hollywood,"
"Thank you," Feng Yiping ended this interview and the interview he accepted on the red carpet today.
The rest is to reach the Kodak Theater through this long red carpet.
Feige saw Feng Yiping walking forward, and hurriedly ended the interview with a reporter and followed him immediately.
…………
Outside the venue, the Cadillac had already driven a distance. Palmat heard the shouts getting farther and farther away from the other side, and suddenly pressed the intercom and said to the driver, "Stop,"
The driver heard the car door opened and closed, and when he started it again, he saw the man on the side of the road and was suddenly surprised. The clothes were still the same clothes, but why did the person seem to have changed?
Palmat, who changed his hair color and hairstyle with a wig and grew a beard, would make many Marvel people unrecognizable. He walked to the entrance again, showed the staff his long-prepared credentials, followed a few people, and stepped onto the red carpet together.
He looked ahead, where did the two go? Why did they disappear so quickly?
The reason why he couldn't see the two was that they were walking too fast.
Some Marvel fans on both sides of the red carpet noticed a strange phenomenon at this time. There were two people walking quickly through the actors and stars on the red carpet who walked a few steps and stopped for a while, constantly posing around.
What are they doing? Race walking on the red carpet?
Is there such a thing?
And it doesn't look like the two are staff members.
Because not only do the staff not interfere with them, sometimes, some stars who are being interviewed and photographed, or signing autographs for fans, after seeing the two people, obviously want to say hello, or want to follow them.
But the two walked away all of a sudden.
Feng Yiping and Feige had already walked quickly to the most lively section, which was naturally the section where the leading actors Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were.
In the middle of the red carpet, the two people with rosy faces stood hand in hand, constantly posing at the request of fans and reporters on both sides of the red carpet, and a large circle of space was automatically left around them.
They are the protagonists of today's red carpet.
Feng Yiping and Feige also stopped.
"You have a good eye. Downey is indeed very suitable for this role," Feng Yiping said.
Iron Man was originally a playboy with a good family background, but a bit naughty and talented, and Robert Downey Jr. is almost the same guy in reality.
So in the process of shaping this character, he doesn't have to worry too much about how to perform. He can be very relaxed and show his personality charm.
"And it's also very cost-effective," Feige smiled and whispered in Feng Yiping's ear.
"Haha," Feng Yiping smiled, it was indeed very cost-effective.
Downey's salary for this movie was only 6 million US dollars.
Feng Yiping thought of Palmat, who should have returned to the company. Such a choice was naturally influenced by him. It must be both right and inexpensive.
"So, I think it is necessary to think about the protagonist of the second movie you are preparing,"
"Ah?" Feige was also stunned.
His mood at this moment was exactly the same as Nolan's last night. So, what about the agreement of not interfering?
