As the most anticipated blockbusters of the year, Warner Bros' "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and Paramount's "Transformers 2" are definitely in the top three. Of course, there is also a sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" produced by 20th Century Fox and directed by the great director James Cameron.

The global release of "Transformers 2" at the end of June has already set off a summer vacation, and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in July is also highly anticipated.

Although Marvel's "Thor" is also huge, the male protagonist is the little-known Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, relying on the heroine Anne Hathaway and Marvel's fame and special effects. publicity.

On 7.10, the North American premiere of the 3D fantasy blockbuster "Thor" produced by Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Xinghai Entertainment, was held at the Chinese Grand Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

The main creative members of the crew such as director Kenneth Branagh, starring "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, etc. are all dressed up Attend the premiere.

"Thor" is an important part of the Avengers universe, and its importance is self-evident, so in addition to Kevin Feige, Simon and Star Sea Entertainment executives Nina Jacobson and the newly added Dick Ku Ke also attended.

"Thor has held its world premiere in London, England three days ago. After the North American premiere tonight, it will be released simultaneously in many countries around the world. Next, the crew members must do a good job in promoting in Europe." Dick Cook is the head of Xinghai International Pictures and spends a lot of time in the European headquarters in London.

"Actually, I'm going to convert "Thor" to 3D in post-production, but everyone doesn't seem to agree. After all, there are not too many 3D theaters at present. "Simon smiled, and it is estimated that we will have to wait until James Cameron. Long's masterpiece "Avatar" will lead the trend of this period of IMAX theaters after the release.

"Yeah, I remember we had a lot of IMAX theaters in the United Theater, but we can make the next one in 3D," Dick Cook said with a smile.

Simon nodded with a smile, of course it is ok for the development of iMax3D movies, suitable movies will bring higher box office.

"Transformers 2 has already surpassed 310 million US dollars at the North American box office and 300 million US dollars at the overseas box office within half a month of its release, which is estimated to be stronger than Warner Bros' Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince next week. ," Simon said enviously. After all, if it is inferred from this situation, "Transformers 2" will definitely exceed 400 million US dollars in North America, and overseas is also expected to have the same box office.

Dick Cook smiled wryly, and then responded: "No way, Steven Spielberg's eyes are indeed good!"

The producer of the "Transformers" series is Hollywood director Steven Spielberg. When he was negotiating with Hasbro for the film adaptation, Spielberg personally persuaded Hasbro and director Michael Bay.

"By the way, I heard that the **** heroine in it, Megan Fox, complained during an interview with the magazine?" Simon asked again.

Dick Cook nodded and introduced the matter to Simon in detail. After all, the distributors must focus on the series of films of this level.

It turned out that Megan Fox said in an exclusive interview with "Wonderland" magazine at the beginning of the month:

"Michael Bay was like Napoleon on set, trying to build a notorious madman image for himself. I think he wanted to be Hitler on set, and he really was.

Working with him was a nightmare, but once he was off the set, out of directing mode, I actually admired him a lot, he was totally socially inept, and it was cute just looking at him. "

"Hitler on the set, hehe," Simon said with a smile, "doesn't she know that Spielberg is a Jew, and Megan Fox dares to say this in front of the media!"

"The Michael Bay family is also Jewish, and I don't know if she will have a place in the sequel to the "Transformers" series in the future?" Dick Cook actually didn't care too much about a vase in "Transformers", After all, that's not the real point, it's just too easy to find **** women with good body and good looks in Hollywood.

Simon nodded, although he knew that Megan Fox and the "Transformers" series would be missed in the future. However, I don't care about it myself, and I have already explained to Kevin Feige the constraints of the actors of the Marvel series.

However, although the number of Jews in the United States is only about 1.7%, the wealth they own exceeds 35%. Moreover, industries such as culture and entertainment, finance, and technology have a large proportion.

Especially in Hollywood, the influence of Jews cannot be underestimated. There are many high-level production companies, producers and directors, heavyweight actors, and giants in the press.

It's no wonder that superstars like Mel Gibson were directly suppressed to the end.

Simon looked at the people at the venue, his deep eyes didn't know what he was thinking in the eyes of outsiders.

After a while, he and Dick Cook and other high-level executives were interviewed and photographed by the media on stage, which caused quite a stir.

"Mr. Pike, do you think this new Marvel movie Thor will surpass the success of Iron Man?" Reporters have rarely seen Simon Pike in front of the screen at such events. .

"Thor and "Iron Man" are both important projects of Marvel Studios. It can't be said that they surpass or not, as long as they can give the audience a good impression, because we have a lot of plans for Marvel Studios in the future. Yes, after all, Marvel has a lot of superhero characters!" Simon responded painlessly.

"Mr. Parker, do you have anything to say about the current Xinghai Pictures' hot performance in the summer season? The two films "The Hangover" and "Twilight" are very good at the box office, and now the masterpiece "Thor" will be released again. Now, is Xinghai Entertainment ready to challenge the traditional six major filmmakers?" Another reporter asked a tricky question.

Simon glanced at the reporter and smiled slightly: "Xinghai Entertainment is also a part of Hollywood, and has the responsibility to contribute fresh blood to Hollywood and Yiwu, and the achievements of Xinghai Entertainment are the results of the efforts of all staff and the support of the audience. reason;"

"Xinghai Pictures is just doing its job well. There are many great film companies in Hollywood. It's not a challenge, we just make progress together."

Afterwards, Simon left the interview area and entered the theater with a smile. After all, these reporters did not know what other messy problems were brewing.

It seems that Xinghai Entertainment has indeed performed too well this year, and the six strong competitors have finally completely exposed their fangs.
