Chapter 9: The Spider-Man Trailer Shocked The Entire Internet!
Leonard is a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. In addition to doing scientific research, his favorite thing is reading comics.
As a typical nerd, he and his friends are both Marvel and DC comic fans.
In fact, he has been looking forward to the wonderful stories in comics and superheroes with different abilities being brought to the big screen.
When he was a child, he got hooked after watching the movies "Superman" and "Batman".
It's a pity that the 21st Century live-action movie completely disappointed fans.
Comic fans have reached a consensus,
Today's Hollywood cannot produce qualified comic book movies. This is a huge trap.
After a tiring day, Leonard dragged his exhausted body back to the rental apartment.
His roommate Howard is playing "World of Warcraft" nervously.
This game has been in public beta in North America for more than a year and has taken the world by storm.
"I'm playing World of Warcraft again. Aren't you tired from playing all night every day?"
"You don't understand, Blizzard is the best in the world in gaming, and I can play it until I'm 50."
Leonard curled his lips, sat in front of the computer, opened the web page, and browsed YouTube videos out of boredom.
He believes that video websites will be the mainstream pastime in the future.
"Cat, dog, dog, cat again..."
In the early days of YouTube, before it was acquired by Google, most of its videos were cute.
"Cat, Spider-Man, Cat...huh? Spider-Man?"
Seeing Spider-Man's classic red and blue uniform, Leonard's first reaction was a fan cosplay.
Upon closer inspection, the video poster turned out to be the official account of Columbia Pictures!
As we all know, the copyright of Spider-Man is in the hands of Sony, and Columbia is a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment!
Some time ago, there were rumors in the media that Sony was restarting a live-action version of "Spider-Man", and he thought it was a scam.
I didn't expect it to be true! They even made a pilot trailer!
The current number of views is close to 1 million, and more and more people are paying attention to this trailer!
With excitement, Leonard clicked the play button.
Play in full screen!

"Not everyone can be a hero."
"My life is destined to never be peaceful again."
Accompanied by a magnetic voice-over,
A blond white man in a suit walked into the bank.
Leonard couldn't figure it out. Is this the protagonist?
What does it have to do with Spider-Man?
Immediately afterwards, the white man actually pulled out a shotgun, fired into the air and robbed the bank!
Several masked gangsters quickly entered the vault and then escaped from the bank carrying several large bags.
Several police cars surrounded the bank.
I didn't expect they even had a helicopter!
Until now, Leonard is still confused. Is this a preview of other action movies?
The next scene made Leonard gasp!
Seeing that the helicopter was about to carry the robbers to escape,
The next second,
A huge spider web is tied between two skyscrapers!
Stick the helicopter firmly high in the sky!
The camera zooms out, and under the setting sun, a familiar figure floats past between the buildings!
That familiar red and blue color scheme!
Leonard instantly got goosebumps!
[This winter]
boom!
The classic face of Spider-Man appears in front of the camera!
He stood on the edge of a skyscraper, and then fell down!
[Bring you a new shocking experience! ]
Whoosh——
Spider-Man shoots webbing and swings to the limit before falling to the ground!
Even through a small computer screen, you can feel the excitement of the strong wind blowing by your ears!
The shot of Spider-Man traveling between buildings that could only appear in fantasy,
It was actually put on the big screen!
[Spider-man! Spider-Man! ]
Leonard had clenched his fists unconsciously,
In the picture, Spider-Man is standing on the top of the Empire State Building, holding the Stars and Stripes Banner in a familiar superhero pose.
Then, a spider thread was fired towards the camera and swung towards the screen!
Black screen.
[December, 2006]
[Shocking release! ]
The pilot trailer has finished playing, only 30 seconds.
But Leonard was so excited that he didn't speak for a long time.
"Holy_Shit!"
As a Marvel fan, he loves Spider-Man! This is the most down-to-earth superhero!
Now the live-action version of Spider-Man is about to appear on the big screen.
It's a dream come true!
"No, Sony Entertainment, are you serious?"
The comment area under the trailer has exploded, with thousands of comments added as soon as it was refreshed.
"So handsome, so handsome!"
"Ah? It just started shooting some time ago. Can it be released this year?"
"I said before that I found an Asian Spider-Man, but I didn't expect the effect to be quite good!"
"That's outrageous. Is it really being released on Christmas time? I've never seen a film company be so efficient."
"I'm already looking forward to it after seeing the trailer, it will definitely contribute to the box office!"
"I can't wait! Come December! Spider-Man! Spider-Man!"
"The degree of restoration is really high! I have a feeling this movie will not be a hit!"
"The live-action movie emmmm, I hope Sony doesn't ruin Spider-Man."
In the comment area, most Marvel fans are still looking forward to it.
After all, this is one of the most popular superheroes. Everyone was already paying attention when the media reported on the casting. I didn't expect it to be released so soon!
The content shown in the trailer is still great.
Spider-Man swings over the city, and the visual effect is quite shocking!
It will definitely be even more shocking on the big screen!
Still, a small number of people are concerned.
Live-action versions of games and comics have always been huge traps.
There are so many failure cases, it's really easy to get frustrated!
If the production is not done properly, this classic character will definitely be ruined.
By then no one will dare to make manga adaptations.
The comment area was noisy, the number of views continued to rise, the likes exceeded 100,000, and the retweets exceeded 50,000!
More and more people are entering the trailer page by sharing the link!
"Howard! Oh my god! Stop playing games and watch this!"
"Wait a minute, the copy isn't finished yet!"
Howard was distracted, his character's health tank was instantly cleared, and he was killed by the dungeon boss.
He had no choice but to come to Leonard and punch him.
"What's the situation?"
"Spider-Man!"
Leonard pointed at the screen.
"Jesus! Real or fake?"
Howard, who was a little sulky at first, was instantly attracted to Spider-Man on the screen!
…
Los Santos, Broadway.
Xu Can took out a can of coke from the refrigerator, leaned comfortably on the large sofa, and drank a few sips of it.
"Comfortable!"
Looking at the spacious living room and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the beautiful scenery of Los Santos under the sunset,
Xu Can feels that he has chosen the right place for her new apartment.
Before, he traveled to North America on his own, doing small jobs on film sets and working in coffee shops.
Now that the remuneration has arrived, Xu Can's account already has 1.95 million US dollars.
The salary is 3 million, but the contract is pre-tax.
North America has always been billed as a "free country", but in fact it is quite sinister and directly charged him a 35% tax rate!
Only less than 1.95 million was obtained.
Xu Can originally wanted to buy a swimming pool villa in Beverly Hills, but after thinking about it, he just gave it up.
He is now a man of few words, and his 3 million contract is already as high as the sky.
After "Spider-Man" is released, Xu Can will have a considerable income after receiving the box office dividends!
In addition, actors' salaries will definitely increase to tens of millions! There will be a chance to cross the 20 million club later!
When the time comes, buying a luxury home will be easier than going to the supermarket to buy groceries.
This luxury apartment is also quite nice, with an elevator that leads directly to the interior.
Penthouse in the heart of downtown Los Santos,
200 square meters of open space, decorated in Nordic modern style, ready to move in.
Much better than the 20 square meters of space he had before.
Before he finished drinking the Coke, Xu Can was just about to turn on the computer to check out the trailer.
The manager Happy called suddenly.
"Xu! Some media are talking about your skin color. Should we sue them?"
