Six Hundred and Thirty-One - The Monster Attacks.

In the living room of a private residence in Lakewood, Los Angeles, the trailer for "The Flash" had just ended on the TV. Several young people watching the TV seemed to be relieved.

"This world needs heroes!"

A fat man of seventeen or eighteen years old danced and looked at his companions. "So, only one Batman is not enough. The emergence of Barry Allen indicates that more DC heroes will continue to appear!"

"F**k, stop it, Krillin."

Another boy on the sofa grabbed his dancing companion with a headache, pushed him onto the sofa, and then said: "Tell me, which hero will Barry Allen bring to the "Flash" movie? us?"

The theme of the trailer is quite obvious. With the addition of the sentence "This world needs heroes", viewers who have watched it will know that The Flash will bring more superheroes to the audience.

"Based on the settings in the comics..."

Not willing to be left alone, the fat little guy Colin Heywood immediately opened his mouth and prepared a long speech. He has been a die-hard comic book fan since he was a child, so he was extremely excited when he saw something in the trailer of "The Flash". Moreover, this was a good opportunity to show off in front of his friends, and he was not willing to let it go.

"Damn it, Krillin, Wayne never follows the comics!"

Unfortunately, before he could continue, a tall boy standing behind the sofa interrupted him. "The DC movies produced by Wayne are more like stories of his own overthrow and reconstruction. Some things completely deviate from the comics, so I suggest you don't guess based on who drew the comics."

"That's right."

On another single sofa, a white girl with freckles on her face obviously agreed with him. "I think Sandy is right. Wayne never only thinks about what comic book fans think. I found that out when I watched The Dark Knight."

Apparently, the only girl in the living room was the centerpiece of several teenagers. Even the little fat man who was dancing all the time looked at the girl with a hint of youthful admiration.

This is the difference between Eastern and Western aesthetics. In the eyes of men on the other side of the Pacific, a woman with freckles on her face is obviously a helpless flaw. But in the eyes of most boys here, freckles on girls' faces, especially white girls' faces, are cute features.

"I think it must be one of Superman Clark Kent and Wonder Woman Diana Prince."

The tall boy named Sandy continued proudly: "Wayne will definitely put these two ace characters on the big screen as soon as possible. The emergence of The Flash, since the world needs more A hero must be the most important hero!"

"No, no, no."

The fat little Colin frowned and retorted loudly: "Look, it will definitely be Cyborg. In the setting of the comics, only Cyborg is more in line with Grandpa Bruce Wayne. He He is also an ordinary person because..."

The white girl raised a hand and patted her forehead in pain. Seeing that her friends were about to start an argument, she simply patted the sofa hard, making a few thumping noises. "We won't discuss this topic. We will naturally find out after the movie is released."

Stopping a potential argument, the girl suddenly said: "Didn't you notice? Although the Batman in the trailer only exists for a few seconds, his face is bigger than that in "The Dark Knight"..."

"old!"

"Matured a lot!"

"Vicissitudes of life."

"..."

The moment the girl spoke her words, several friends around her immediately expressed their feelings. Obviously, it was not just the girl who discovered this.

"I guess it's Barry Allen who traveled through the timeline."

The little fat man held his chin with one hand and said affirmatively while thinking about the memories. This time his speech finally attracted everyone's attention, and everyone waited quietly for him to continue speaking.

"There are hints in the trailer, those few voiceovers. Moreover, Barry Allen said that letting Batman delay his retirement means that Bruce Wayne in this period is already at a very late point in time. .

Through various hints, it can also be inferred that Bruce Wayne should be very familiar with Barry Allen at this time, because he was not surprised by the sudden appearance of The Flash. In other words, Bruce Wayne should have had more or less contact with other members of the Justice League..."

The little fat man is indeed a die-hard comic book fan. At least his guesses have been correct for most of Wayne's arrangements. The character of The Flash is like lubricant. This has been said by Wayne himself many times. It is obvious that the greatest significance of Barry Allen's existence is to organize those heroes one by one.

"Oh God, I can't." The little fat man became more and more excited as he spoke. He picked up the water glass on the coffee table and drank half of the glass of water. "Hey, guys, I can't wait for summer to come. 'The Flash,' 'The Flash,' is so exciting."

"Who isn't?"

The white girl curled her lips and sighed with the same expression on her face: "This time we must book tickets in advance and see this movie as soon as possible."

"agree!"

Several friends in the living room almost nodded, and the tall boy Sandy gritted his teeth. "I will save my pocket money now. When summer comes, I will watch more movies and preferably buy more movie peripherals."

"Shit, this damn trailer makes me can't wait now." The boy who first grabbed the little fat guy said a curse word, then turned to look at the DVD under the TV. "Forget it, Krillin, I remember you bought the video tape of "The Dark Knight"? Watch it again."

"Oh my god! I've almost memorized the lines now!" The little fat man muttered in a low voice. When he raised his head, he realized that all his friends were staring at him. He shrugged, obviously everyone had the same idea, and got up to play the tape.

The appearance of the trailer for "The Flash" has had a far greater impact than Warner Bros. and Wayne imagined, especially for those who have become fans of DC movies. One thing they have overlooked is that DC's magic is already here appeared quietly on the land.

Discussions like the one taking place in this living room in Lakewood took place in countless homes across North America almost immediately after the trailer ended. Audiences who discuss movies never seem to care about the quality of the movie. What they want to know more is the content of the movie.

Wayne has used many films to prove the excellence of Greenberg's production. In his eighth year in Hollywood, he finally quietly made countless movie fans trust the brand effect created by Greenberg. .

"You see it."

In the CEO office of Sony's Columbia Pictures headquarters at 10202 West Washington Avenue, California, CEO Oga Xiong, who is from Japan, took his eyes away from the TV and turned to look at the other people in the rest area.

"Wayne Greenberg's films always exceed everyone's expectations."

"This is a good thing, and it's a good thing for us." Dean Devlin, the producer of "Godzilla" smiled, shrugged and looked at several executives around him, and said: "Obviously, Wayne Greenberg has lost his own production style. Who knows if a Wayne Greenberg who shoots commercial popcorn will still win the favor of the audience?!"

His words caused laughter from most people in the office meeting. Many rules in the industry are well known. When a director starts to rashly transform, it means that the risks of the film are also increasing exponentially. From a market perspective, a director who rashly changes his style is most likely to lose his base of movie fans.

"Dev, trust me,"

At this time, looking at the smiling crowd around him, Roland Emmerich frowned deeply, showing no intention of relaxing and laughing together. He suddenly said to the producer: "A director, if he wants to It will indeed be very difficult to go from the business field to the art field and achieve success! But..."

His meaning is very clear. When a director who perfectly combines art and business abandons most of the thinking in the film and starts purely making commercial visual popcorn, there is absolutely no difficulty for this director. On the contrary, it may be It will be much easier.

"Hey, our video is coming and we hope to surprise "everyone"!"

CEO Ogaxiong waved his hand. What Roland Emmerich said could easily cause everyone's displeasure. He simply pointed at the TV, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Perhaps countless viewers across North America would have never imagined that just before the end of the Super Bowl halftime commercial show, another movie trailer appeared on the TV, and one look at it showed that this movie was a very huge production.

On the TV, a city with heavy rain appeared. A policeman wearing a raincoat leaned on the car and was suddenly shaken up. Not only him, but the car he was leaning against was also shaken off the ground.

The siren sounded slowly from small to large, and the camera zoomed further and further away. Countless ordinary people holding umbrellas screamed and crowded and ran forward crazily.

The perspective suddenly pulled up, and in the direction behind the crowd, the building collapsed and toppled little by little.

The background music also became more and more urgent at this time. Through the perspective of the police, the source of the problem was quickly found. An extremely huge monster knocked down the buildings in the city and appeared in front of everyone.

People were running like a swarm, and the whole city turned into a horrific disaster scene because of the appearance of monsters.

This is a monster that has never appeared in North America. It looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex, and it seems to be born with an evil illusion.

"What does m***er f**ker Sony Colombia want!?"

In the living room of Greenberg Manor, Wayne and others stared at the TV in stunned silence. After the shocking trailer ended, a line of text flashed on the TV:

1998, May 19, monsters are coming!
