"Dear viewers, I'm at the entrance of the movie theater, and the one behind me is one of the most visited theaters in Los Angeles. Through the lens, you can see that the number of audiences coming in and out is really considerable, which makes people really feel a fact. : Summer is finally here!"

Fox TV's location hostess Wendy - Haddok (wendy-haddok) holding a microphone, standing in front of the camera, is recording the interview, her face is full of a big smile, a warm and friendly gesture, with Los Angeles The bright, hot sun complemented each other perfectly.

"Saturday has always been the peak time for movie viewing, and this time the opening battle of the summer program has attracted countless attention. I believe that every audience has their own choices and judgments, and I look forward to seeing more excellent ones. Just now we interviewed the theater manager and learned that as of 3:00 p.m., the number of single-day moviegoers in today's theaters has set a record this year, and the movie attendance rate has exceeded 50%. .Summer vacation, it really lives up to its reputation!"

At this moment, the bustling scene behind Wendy's back is a bustling and bustling New Year's Eve party. in battle.

For Paramount and the "Thor" crew, it was a torment, a hard fight, and a disaster, and they didn't even know how they got into the predicament; but for the media reporters, it was a disaster. It's a rave party. Even the TV station couldn't help but participate in it, and arrived at the scene to interview the grand occasion in person, hoping to foresee the development trend of this opening battle as soon as possible.

If it's just a hypothetical, if "Thor"'s opening box office is not as good as "Fast \u0026 Furious 5"'s second week box office, and it loses the North American weekend box office chart, then this is tantamount to igniting a crater, no, this is It's like throwing a ton of explosives into the crater. For the news media, it's a New Year's Eve party.

"Then, let's go into this opening battle that has attracted the attention of the entire North America." Wendy waved to her cameraman, walked towards the audience, and quickly found a match. An interviewee asked, "Which work did you come to watch?"

"'The Fast and the Furious 5'." A tattooed man standing in front of him replied simply, and under Wendy's questioning, he explained, "I originally planned to watch 'Thor', before in I saw it during the Super Bowl halftime commercial, but I heard that the movie was boring, so I chose 'Fast \u0026 Furious 5'. Tickets for this movie are very popular, I came a little late today, and I still want to I queued up and finally missed the deadline for buying tickets for the 3:00 game, and only bought the 3:30 game.”

"'Thor', of course, 'Thor'." Wendy's second interviewee was a college student-like young man, his face full of affirmation, but attracted Wendy's attention, and mentioned the recent early stage of "Thor" Comments, I didn't expect the young man to wave his hands again and again, with a big smile on his face, "No, no, no. I mean, I know those comments, but I don't care. I'm a big fan of Marvel, do other people like it? , it doesn't matter. What matters is that I support it unconditionally."

In addition, there are two movies that they choose to watch, such as the couple in front of them, "Yes, we will watch both movies. Whether it is good or bad, we will only know after we have seen it in person. What's more, this time Both films have created too many conversations, and we also want to see what kind of work it is, anyway, we are dating today, and there is nothing else to do."

Later, Wendy interviewed a ticket salesperson who had just gotten off work and asked about the ticket sales of the two movies. The middle-aged woman in her early thirties gave an unexpected answer, "Yes, 'Thor' The speed of ticket sales is now temporarily ahead, and the advantage is very small, but it is true."

Wendy didn't hide her surprise, "Is this true?"

After witnessing the slump at the box office on Friday, mainstream views are now not optimistic about the box office trend of "Thor", especially when the media and audience reputation are at a disadvantage, is it that "Thor" will go out of the "Transformers 2" style The box office curve?

"For now, that's true. Right now, 'Thor' still leads the way in pre-sale, but 'Fast \u0026 Furious 5' instant ticket sales are on the rise. The viewing situation this afternoon and evening is still unreliable. I know." The staff member was calm, telling the truth, obviously familiar with such an interview, "Also, this is only the situation of our cinema, other cinema chains will not know."

Recalling the content of the interview just now, Wendy couldn't help but nodded, "Thor" and "Fast and Furious 5" are indeed indistinguishable, but thanks to the premiere this week, coupled with the "Fast and Furious 5" 5" has exploded with a huge energy of 95 million last week, and now it is indeed "Thor" that has a slight advantage.

But this is not good news for "Thor", who was looking forward to a hearty victory, but is now caught in such a hard fight, and it is still facing the next week's box office of "Fast and Furious 5", the situation Not optimistic. What's more, the current advantage is very weak, the battle situation is still extremely anxious, and it is still unknown whether the victory can be achieved.

After saying goodbye to the staff member, Wendy was about to continue her interview, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a tall and strong figure. The first reaction was just because of her physique, which made her stand out in the crowd, but then Wendy squinted her eyes slightly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the words blurted out, "Chris!"

That's Chris Hemsworth!

Wendy didn't even have time to greet her accompanying photographer, so she rushed up, but the crowd in the theater was really too turbulent at this time, and the bustling crowds blocked the way one after another, Wendy could only watch the figure disappear in front of her eyes. among the sea of ​​people.

The photographer then followed and asked what was going on. Wendy stomped her feet in annoyance, "I think I saw Chris."

"Really or not?" The photographer didn't believe it, "They are now in a period of intensive publicity, not to mention the box office of the premiere, in a short period of time, their publicity density will definitely not decrease, how can they have time to come to the cinema ?" Wendy thought for a while, and found that she couldn't refute, "You must have read it wrong."

Wendy sighed deeply, "Maybe I'm too eager."

Chris Hemsworth only felt a layer of cold sweat seep down his back. He had put on a baseball cap, but he was still recognized? Does this mean that his awareness has risen to a new height? Originally, this was a good thing, but he couldn't be happy, so he lowered the brim of his hat and walked quickly towards the ticket counter.

The "Thor" crew just finished the live broadcast of a radio program this morning, an exclusive interview with two magazines, and a photo shoot on two websites. In the evening, they will start the fan meeting activities in major cities in North America. The first stop tonight is to go to Lara vegas. The publicity schedule was packed, and there was no rest for the next half month, but they had four hours of free time before heading to the airport, which is why he came to the cinema.

Sitting in a hotel, or in a bar, he was on pins and needles, restless. The uproaring news was endless, and he couldn't calm down at all, especially after Friday's box office release, the atmosphere of the entire crew was extremely depressed.

Although the publicity team and the agent team were working hard to cheer everyone up, everyone cheered up and pretended that there was still hope; but after quieting down, the dull atmosphere was almost breathless, that terrible The box office data is like a boulder, pressing heavily on the chest

Each of them knows that hope still exists, which is a fact, but it is getting more and more slim, and it is disappearing little by little.

Chris doesn't want to admit this reality. To be precise, the entire crew and Paramount Pictures don't want to admit this reality. They are still expecting a miracle, or, yearning for a miracle.

Chris knew that in front of the media, they still needed to show tolerance and confidence. He doesn't care about those negative comments, but shows the appearance of actively learning and listening to opinions; expressing concern about the box office trend, but showing a gesture of giving more trust to the audience. Only in this way can the box office recover.

However, he still lacked confidence. Distraught, distraught, anxious.

For a while, I think of Renly's disdainful appearance, for a while, for Renly's flamboyant appearance, for a while for how determined he was back then, for a moment for himself trying to win Saul, for a moment for Renly after he became famous With a dismal face, he recalled the embarrassed appearance of Renly rolling off Broadway in the past... All kinds of chaotic thoughts made him feel on pins and needles. So, he appeared at the cinema closest to the hotel.

He didn't even know what he was thinking.

Maybe, he wants to see with his own eyes whether the crowds of "Thor" are so bad; maybe, he can listen to the audience's evaluation and increase some confidence; maybe, he should watch "The Fast and the Furious" 5", to spy on the enemy's situation; maybe, he should pretend to communicate directly with the audience to promote "Thor"...

Maybe, he can buy a ticket in person and contribute to the box office of "Thor" Maybe he can book a whole row of seats and make more contributions to the box office. But if there are still audiences who want to watch the movie, but cannot buy tickets because of his behavior, and simply turn to "Fast and Furious 5", wouldn't that be counterproductive? Or that he shouldn't be so noticeable?

What kind of scene is the cinema, after all, in the description of the media, there is still a lack of realism. This sense of emptiness also makes them more uncertain about the box office of "Thor". 23 million, this data is indeed not good, but what is the picture reflected in the movie theater?

Maybe, he can gain some confidence....
