...

"This battle fully demonstrated the courage of mankind. They do not need anyone to save and rule them. They have the ability to decide their own future. They are comrades worthy of respect."

"I am Optimus Prime. Since the fire source is damaged, it will take a long time for us to repair it. The earth will become our new home."

"I call on the Autobots who are stranded in space. If you have good intentions, please come here and protect our new home together!"

With a monologue by Optimus Prime, the picture falls on the endless tombstones.

Each tombstone symbolizes a dead soldier.

Then the camera briefly shows the situation of the remnants of the Autobots and Decepticons. They have each established a secret base.

Starscream summoned Vertigo and Roadblock, and established himself as the leader to establish a new Decepticon.

Finally, the screen switched to a dark space, which was the deepest part of the ocean, with craters connected one after another.

Megatron's silver-white body lay there quietly, and his body was covered with ice again.

Suddenly, a trace of black energy seeped out of the crater and wrapped Megatron, the ice cracked, and the silver finger moved.

The easter egg ended, and the two-and-a-half-hour movie came to an end.

In the ending song mixed with some sadness in the excitement, the subtitles began to roll, and a long list of credits appeared.

Pa pa pa pa...

The lights in the cinema came on again. Although the music was loud, it still couldn't cover the applause from the audience.

Then I saw Neeko, Theron, and the Olsen sisters take the lead in standing up and applauding, and other stars followed suit.

Then many audiences, many audiences spontaneously stood up and applauded.

Various voices of praise shouted from their mouths.

"It's so wonderful, an unparalleled visual feast!"

"This is the best movie I've seen this year, Autobots Transformation."

"You're so cool, Gadot!"

...

Suddenly, this place seemed to have become Cannes.

There is a tradition in Cannes that when the audience thinks the movie is exciting enough, they will spontaneously applaud.

The longer the applause, the more exciting the movie.

There is no doubt that Transformers is the ultimate commercial blockbuster.

It makes the audience feel the agitation of blood in the cold winter.

Especially the final battle that lasted more than half an hour, which made many people unconsciously clench their fists. When they found out, their palms were already soaked with sweat.

Amid the warm applause, Eric led the protagonists to the stage.

He made major changes to the plot in the second half, such as the Allspark was not destroyed, but only temporarily damaged.

Although the Decepticons were defeated, the real Titans only lost Megatron, Bone Crusher and Noisy.

The Autobots were all badly injured, but they were rescued by ambulances and all of them died.

Jazz was not torn in half by Megatron. The 911 scene was enough to express Megatron's tyranny.

The human losses were very heavy. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in this battle, which fully demonstrated the cruelty and tragedy of this war, and also reflected the determination and courage of mankind to defend their homeland.

The last easter egg was naturally a foreshadowing for the second part. He planned to completely abandon Michael Bay's version and adapt the plot of the Transformers high-scoring animation "Leadership".

The applause and cheers lasted for several minutes before stopping, and everyone began to interact with the audience.

"Thank you, thank you for your support."

Eric thanked the audience with everyone. At this moment, he suddenly felt very excited.

The first movie, the first movie he really directed, was loved by the audience.

Even though he has lived two lives and is still in a high position in the entertainment industry in this life, this feeling is the first time he has experienced it.

Unlike the flattery of those stars, this is the real love from the audience, which is pure and not mixed with self-interest. They really like their own works.

This feeling is wonderful, beautiful and intoxicating.

Next to him, Gadot threw herself into his arms excitedly, but fortunately she didn't kiss him.

Eric woke up instantly and hurriedly looked down.

He found that several women were staring at him blankly. Except for Charlize Theron, they all showed suspicious looks in their eyes.

His heart was beating, and he hurriedly hugged the other members of the crew one by one. Everyone had the same treatment, so it didn't seem strange.

In the audience, a teenage boy asked excitedly: "Director, I want to know who is more powerful, Megatron or Optimus Prime?"

Eric answered without hesitation: "I think they are both equally strong. If Optimus Prime was not protecting Sam, it would be difficult for Megatron to hurt him."

Chris Evans shrugged his shoulders and made an innocent expression: "So you blame me?"

Hahahaha...

"Director, will Starscream become the villain in the second part? After all, he has become the new leader of the Decepticons now."

Eric shook his head slightly: "The animation and comics in the past have given us the answer to this question. You should look for it there."

"Director, I feel like Megatron has too few scenes. He was killed just after he appeared. Will he return in the second part?"

Eric nodded slightly: "I think so, but it may not be the kind of return that everyone imagines."

The fan instantly grasped the key point: "So you are already thinking about the second part? Will it be released during the Christmas season next year?"

Eric slapped his forehead, showing a look of regret.

"Let's all take a break, brother. In order to satisfy everyone and live up to the trust of Hasbro and Transformers fans, thousands of people in our crew have really tried their best."

"Yes, the script for the second part is indeed being conceived, but I can't guarantee that it will be released during the Christmas season next year."

"But what I can guarantee is that the plot and scenes of the second part will definitely be more magnificent, and we will still do our best to do our best."

Pa pa pa pa...

The cinema burst into warm applause again.

Looking at the young man on the stage who was talking and laughing, Spielberg couldn't help but push his glasses.

He was still replaying scenes in his mind, especially the Las Vegas battle at the end. Even he, a veteran who had watched countless movies and had rich experience, could not help but be moved.

The emotional mobilization, the devastating battle, and the tragic suicide attack of the British trio fully reflected the game between humans, Autobots and Decepticons.

More than half an hour of content, the mobilization of thousands of people, every minute and every second was not wasted, everything seemed to be the best result after countless editing.

He really doubted now, is this kid Eric Cooper really the first time to be a director?

Or is he like in the science fiction movie "Back to the Future", riding a time machine back from the future here.

"If DreamWorks really won the adaptation rights of Transformers, could it be as good as MGM?"

Spielberg asked himself, but could not give a definite answer.

Peter Jackson also sighed secretly, and the bearded man also came to show his support today.

After watching it, he admired his own wisdom even more. The contract he signed with MGM was too correct.

Although Weta Digital made less money, it also allowed "The Lord of the Rings" to avoid this behemoth. The box office can make up for it, and his own profit will only be greater.

When the Middle-earth Knights faced the Iron Giant of Cybertron, even if it was the final chapter of the trilogy, he was a little unsure.

At the same time, in movie theaters around the world, a large number of audiences sat there for a long time and were reluctant to leave until the ending song and subtitles were over, and then they got up reluctantly.

Some movie theaters habitually turn on the lights after the plot is over, deliberately destroying the atmosphere of watching movies and driving fans away.

But this time, everyone who dared to do so was booed and scolded. The projectionist could only turn off the lights and quietly exit, waiting for the last few minutes to end.

In Los Angeles, a couple was struggling to vote, but more than a dozen interesting movies undoubtedly made people difficult to choose.

The man saw a group of enthusiastic young people coming from the opposite side, and it seemed that they were having a very pleasant viewing process.

I couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what movie did you watch?"

"Of course it's Transformers!" The other side answered in unison.

"Is it good? I mean, is it exciting enough?"

"Of course, brother, you must choose it. Except Transformers, any other movie is not worth waiting here in the middle of the night."

"Yes, I can guarantee that after watching it, even if you face a gangster with a gun, you will dare to step forward and show your manly charm."

"The movie is so popular. Have you watched the third part of "The Matrix"?"

The man nodded: "I like Neo, the battle of Zion is really exciting."

The other side immediately laughed: "Then you should watch "Transformers". The final battle in Las Vegas will be more spectacular than you can imagine."

"Although I am also a fan of "The Matrix", my impression is that the battle of Zion is still a certain distance away from it."

"Is it really as good as you say? Last Christmas, I was tricked into the cinema by "Sharknado". It turned out that the movie was terrible. Although I still want to watch the sequel this year . "

"Hahahaha... I advise you to buy the tickets quickly. The tickets for the second show may have been sold out in the few minutes you are talking to us."

The man no longer hesitated and hurried to the counter: "Two tickets for "Transformers", thank you."

"Sir, there are only tickets for 5:30 in the morning. Do you need them?"

"What! What about the tickets for 2:50?"

The ticket seller pointed to the backs of the group of young people who had just left: "Like they said, they are sold out."

"In fact, you still can't buy them even if you book two hours in advance. The first two shows of the midnight show have been booked out long ago."

"So I suggest you watch "The Far Side of the World" first, and then continue watching "Transformers."

"The Far Side of the World? Do you want your girlfriend to scold me to death? I won't watch that kind of crappy movie even if you give me tickets!"

Behind him, Harvey Weinstein, who was disguised tightly, happened to pass by. He was already scared by "Transformers" and suddenly became furious.

The orc immediately retorted: "I just watched "The Far Side of the World". The movie is excellent. Whether it is the audiovisual or the plot, it is no worse than "Transformers". You should give it a try."

"Haha... That kind of movie is only suitable for middle-aged people like you. My cousin went to see it the day before yesterday. He told me that the movie was boring."

"If you want to remember the past, you can watch "Polar Expedition", but at this time, it is really asking for death!"

The recommendation had no effect and was instead ridiculed, making Harvey Weinstein even angrier.

He wanted to continue arguing, but the other party had already been dragged away by his girlfriend.

The nameless fire grew stronger and stronger, and finally all the anger was directed at Eric.

"Asshole! If it wasn't for this kid, 'Chicago' would have won Best Picture."

"This kid doesn't follow the rules again, and the future of "Polar Expedition" is bleak."

"Asshole! Son of a bitch! It's all this brat's fault. He ruined everything. I must make him pay the price!"

In the apartment, Eric sat on a chair and Gadot sat on his lap.

Tonight, he had to accompany Gadot no matter what, so he could only use family as an excuse to decline other people's invitations.

well!

Invisibly, my father and mother have paid too much for their relationship.

Snap!

Snap!

The mouse is clicked quickly, and Gadot refreshes the web page every one or two minutes.

"Yes! 6 points, honey we got 6 points!"

Finally, she shouted excitedly, pointed at the screen and shouted excitedly.

Imdb, currently the most authoritative rating website in the United States, has only been more than an hour since the premiere of "Transformers" ended.

At nearly 4 o'clock in the morning, the number of graders finally reached the standard, and the outstanding score of 6 points was there.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people were sitting in front of the computer like the two of them.

This score only appeared because a large number of movie fans stayed up all night after watching the premiere and logged in to review the movie.

"Dear, with a score of 6 for a commercial film and 24,566 people rating it, we have made history. Looking at all commercial films, we will probably be among the top ten."

"Oh my God! My heart is beating so fast. Touch my face and see if it's red?"

Gadot's incoherent appearance made Eric laugh. He scratched the opponent's nose and said, "It's just a score. As the number of evaluations increases, it will definitely come down."

"After all, it is still a commercial popcorn movie. Even if it has the added bonus of freshness, I would be grateful to God if it could get 8 points."

Gadot snorted: "I don't care, I want to use a camera to record this moment, and then show it to my family."

"I want them to know that you are not lying. You will turn me into a star and turn me into a world-class female star."

"My dear, I love you! I love you so much that I can't help myself! Touch my heart, is it beating faster and faster?"

Eric nodded: "Well... not only is it jumping faster and faster, it's also very hot."

Eric slowly lowered his head as he spoke.

………………………………

On November 17, as the first-day box office data of "Transformers" was released, the entire North American film market was shocked.

Even though many people already knew that the box office would be high, they still didn't expect it to be this high.

After the craziest opening day, with the support of rave reviews, "Transformers" grossed US$45.1 million at the North American box office on its first day.

What is the concept of this number?

The current first-day box office ranking in film history is last summer's "Spider-Man", which broke the jaws of many film critics with a record of $39.4 million. It was considered impossible for any film to surpass it within three years.

And now, less than a year and a half later, "Transformers" has still increased this figure by nearly $6 million despite its release on Monday.

With only one and a half months left before the end of the year, I am afraid that only "Lord of the Rings 3" can possibly rival it.

But it's only possible, not to mention that Peter Jackson doesn't dare to boast.

Even the most arrogant Lord of the Rings fans had to be careful what they said at this time, because Autobot fans were not easy to mess with.

A new king ascends the throne!

So far, a new film history record.

Birth!
