Chapter 20: Media Interaction Meeting, Spider-Man’s Performance Shocked The Audience!
"Now, welcome the creative team to the stage!"
After the screening of "Spider-Man" ended, the atmosphere in the entire theater was even more exciting than at the Super Bowl.
Every fan was cheering and applauding with joy.
Even Leonard and the others, who were normally cautious and did not dare to speak loudly, now stood up and howled unbridled.
"Director Marc Webb!"
"Starring Willem Dafoe! James Franco! Emma Stone!"
"And our leading actor——Xu Can!"
When Xu Can walked to the stage, the audience was excited again, and they cheered in unison.
"Spider-man! Spider-man! Spider-man!"
Xu Can waved with a handsome smile, which was met with even higher cheers.
Who still doubts him playing Spider-Man now?
In the hearts of movie fans, no one is more suitable than him! It doesn't matter who else it is!
The audience was so crazy that the host shouted several times without listening.
There is no choice but to have Xu Can, who is currently more popular, take over the microphone.
"Guys, let's sit down first. If you haven't seen enough, you can buy tickets to watch it again at 0 o'clock later."
Like a talk show master, Xu Can stood calmly on the stage and chatted with the audience:
"If you are not satisfied with shouting, you can go back and shoot a short video and post it online. I will click on it one by one to watch it. Of course, it is only for beauties. Men must not shoot it."
"Seriously, shouting loudly is not good for your throat. I only have two lozenges on me. Emma and I each have one, so we don't have any share for you."
In the impression of North Americans, Asian students or residents are taciturn or reserved.
Xu Can's few humorous comments made the audience happy and no longer so manic.
The host secretly gave Xu Can a thumbs up, and he controlled the situation so easily.
"Okay, our main creative staff have come on stage. Next, the director will say a few words, and then there will be a question and answer session."
Director Marc Webb started talking about the creative process of the film.
"Initially we were looking for Spider-Man for a long time and auditioned many actors, such as Josh Hudson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jude Law..."
These are all well-known and handsome Hollywood male stars, including the world-famous "Leo DiCaprio" from "Titanic".
"I forgot, there is James Franco sitting next to me... I'm sorry, James, it wasn't directed at you."
The director made a joke with James Franco.
James Franco really didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Xu Can's performance later, he was relieved.
"It doesn't matter, I'm pretty good as the little Green Goblin."
The director then went on to talk about the casting of Spider-Man:
"As everyone knows, we have held an audition for Spider-Man, which is open to both famous actors and ordinary amateurs."
"Then I visited a coffee shop and I spotted Xu. He seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection he was anything but ordinary."
"He came over to audition and my gut told me that he was the perfect actor. Now everyone can see that I won the bet."
Mark Webb's talk was met with loud applause.
Spider-Man's casting and creative concepts gave everyone a deeper understanding of the story.
He also added that Xu Can is the co-screenwriter and many concepts in the movie were proposed by Xu Can.
For example, the villain setting, the hip-hop trendy style of the film, and the choice of the heroine.
Not MJ, but a more youthful Gwen Stacy in high school.
MJ is the heroine whom Peter met and married to after he graduated and started working.
That belongs to another chapter, maybe it will appear in the sequel.
Afterwards, Xu Can, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and others chatted about interesting anecdotes during the filming process.
The atmosphere in the entire theater was also quite joyful.
"Brothers, do you know? I don't even need to direct the scenes between these two people on the set!"
Mark Webb laughed:
"The interaction between the male and female protagonists was completely up to them. I didn't even give them any lines."
"Did you get any candy?"
But the audience at the scene said in unison:
"So_sweet! So sweet!"
There was even a grumpy old man who stood up and shouted: "Get married quickly! Just_marry_him!"
No matter how cool Sister Stone was, she couldn't help but blush and lower her head in laughter.
"Okay, okay, no more joking, now it's the question and answer session that everyone is concerned about."
Mark Webb declared.
Many media representatives present suddenly became excited, and they all raised their hands like monkeys begging for food.
"Lady over there."
"Hello! I am a reporter from the Los Santos Times. The video is quite shocking and should achieve good results."
"Do you have any plans to shoot a sequel next? What is the plan?"
The blond female reporter was considered one of her own, and she took the lead in asking some safer questions.
The producer blurted out:
"Yes, we will make a sequel regardless of the box office performance. The initial plan is a trilogy, and the preparatory stage has already begun."
"Yeah!!!"
"marvelous!"
Before the producer finished speaking, cheers erupted from the scene again.
The first "Spider-Man" was such a hit that it would be unreasonable not to make a sequel!
Fans can't wait to see the second part now!
Then came another media outlet.
"I am a reporter from NBC.
Before the release, Emma made a bet with film critics that the box office will exceed 500 million US dollars.
Currently, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has a box office of 423 million, and is currently the box office champion this year.
Are you still confident that it will surpass them now?"
"500 million, I was really impulsive at the time. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is indeed an excellent movie and very powerful..."
Emma Stone paused, then smiled:
"My prediction was a bit conservative at the beginning. I should have estimated it higher! Sorry, Johnny Depp, our box office may exceed you."
The reporter's question was somewhat suspected of provoking a fight.
But Sister Stone is not timid at all, she is simply confident.
The audience was also quite confident and applauded constantly!
Everyone can't describe how satisfied they are with this Spider-Man, it's simply exceeded expectations!
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is good, but how can it be compared with Spider-Man?
Several reporters and film critics asked questions in succession, and the creative team answered them one by one.
Everyone was full of confidence, their speech was much more relaxed, and there was constant laughter and a good atmosphere.
"Time is running out and we have one last question...over there, the lady in black."
"I am a reporter from The New York Times. First of all, I congratulate the success of the film. I have noticed that many of the battle scenes in the film are full of imagination and incredible action design, and are quite difficult."
There was a skinny female reporter who was going to do something serious.
"You have promoted before that the male protagonist Xu Can did not use a substitute throughout the whole process, and he completed all the battles by himself."
"I'm not nitpicking, but this is simply unbelievable. I believe that no famous actor can do that kind of difficult action. Only professional stuntmen who have trained for many years can do it. It even has to be done with a lot of special effects..."
"I just want to hear the truth. Do you admit that you used a stand-in? Did you use too many special effects? Is it suspected of false publicity?"
The question raised by a female reporter from The New York Times was indeed quite offensive, and some viewers also had questions about it.
Is it really true that there was no use of a stand-in and it was really a real shot? impossible?
The reporter thought that this would stump the creators and make them admit to false propaganda.
Unexpectedly, the creative team just looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Can stood up and said, "I'll answer it myself."
With a charming smile, he came to the clearing calmly.
The audience was stunned and didn't know what he was going to do next!
Amid the breathless attention of the audience,
I saw Xu Can rising into the sky! Complete a series of difficult volley kicks in the air!
This is not over yet!
Next, Xu Can used a cool acrobatic method to recreate Spider-Man's signature moves in the film one by one!
You know, he is wearing a crisp black suit at the moment!
It's extremely difficult to do the moves in the movie! Much more shocking than the movie!
The entire audience was completely stunned, watching blankly as the superhero Xu Can landed and ended the performance gracefully.
Silence!
Only some of the audience members secretly took their cameras to faithfully record this shocking performance!
