Chapter 107 Grand Premiere
As the extended Cadillac got closer and closer to Hollywood Avenue, Palmatt repeated, "I don't like this, I really don't like it,"
Fitch, who was sitting on the other side, turned his head out the window awkwardly.
"Palmatte, this is my idea," Feng Yiping had to take responsibility on himself. "Don't always remember the financial expenses. Let's go to the scene to see the results."
"We are not selling comic books now, but making movies, so we have to follow the rules of making movies,"
"Just making a movie, there has never been such a grand premiere before, right," Palmatt said.
Feng Yiping really felt that the old man and his childhood mother should have a very common language, with two words left and right, "Save money!"
"Why should we imitate others and not let others imitate us?" Feng Yiping said.
Palmatt immediately looked at him and shook his head.
Looking at his expression, Feng Yiping was both angry and funny. To be honest, this was the first time that someone regarded him as a prodigal son.
"Haha," he shook his head.
Seeing him like this, Palmatt finally calmed down.
He has a strong personality. He does regard saving money as his belief like the original Mei Qiuping, but he naturally does not live in vain when he is so old.
He could have a falling out with Feiqi, but for Feng Yiping, after fully expressing his views, he still had to shut up when it was time to shut up.
…………
The car quickly drove onto Hollywood Avenue, the center of Hollywood Heights, and the Hollywood Gate on the Central Square. It quickly passed by the car, and in front of it, it was Disney House on Hollywood Avenue.
It was a palace-style building built in 1926, formerly a juggling venue and later became the el\capitan Theater. Since 1991, it became Disney House, and is the venue for Disney movie premieres and some live performances.
Therefore, it is also a must-visit pilgrimage place for many Disney fans.
At this time, a large poster of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 hung above the cinema.
Feng Yiping's eyes passed by the theaters next to him. I have to say that Disney's move is good and is really reference-based.
At this moment, the noises that were faintly heard in my ears, which were like the sound of the city background, gradually became clear.
In front, there are police and staff wearing suits maintaining order. No vehicles or pedestrians are allowed to enter the road ahead.
From there, the road ahead, which is Hollywood Avenue near the Kodak Theater where the Oscars are held every year, was blocked by red and yellow baffles like Iron Man's armor.
Next to the entrance of the arch, there is a tall Iron Man armor that can be seen from a distance. In front of this Iron Man armor, some domestic May Day holidays, some classic attractions are in a sense of sight, and people of all kinds are flocking there to take photos as a souvenir - in fact, they act as the background of each other.
Through the gap between the crowd, looking in through the arch, you can see the long red carpet on the ground and the flashes of flashes one after another.
And the originally dull and heavy noise came from the area ahead, which was like a tsunami.
If you tell it carefully, you can hear that there is a section in front of which is the warmest and noisiest. If you guess correctly, you must be the most dazzling star. At this time, you have reached that section.
Feng Yiping had experienced a lot of such scenes of crowds of people and endless cheers before, but from these deafening sounds, he heard something different from before, which was a very fanatical emotion.
And in this kind of fanaticism, there seems to be a hint of a similar meaning to religious beliefs.
"Palmatte, have you heard these calls?" Feng Yiping patted Palmatte's shoulder, "Do you still think that if we hold such a premiere, it's purely a waste of resources?"
Palmatt was obviously a little shocked at this time, but he still shook his head, "We have spent so much resources, and the last ones that are the most popular are those stars,"
"Those celebrities have signed long-term contracts with us," Feiqi couldn't help but say.
That is, to a certain extent, for a considerable period of time in the future, the interests of these stars and Marvel Studios will be tied together.
Feng Yiping glanced at Feiqi and signaled him not to argue with Palmatt anymore.
From his personal point of view, there is a person like Palmatt in the company who cares more about expenses than himself, which is a good thing in any case.
As the car gets closer and closer to the arch, you can already see the stars dressed up on the long red carpet, stop or walk, sometimes approach the railing, take photos with fans, shake hands with them, and sign them.
At this time, behind the railings on both sides of the red carpet were full of Marvel fans.
After recently published comics and intensive publicity on nextdoor, Facebook, and youtube, these Marvel fans gathered here from all over the United States and even around the world.
Some of them hold their favorite comics, many of them hold posters that are ready to be signed by celebrities, and some simply dress up like their favorite Marvel heroes. Of course, at this time, they must be the most people dressed up as Iron Man.
They shouted loudly about their favorite stars, or tried their best to reach out, wanting to have close contact with the stars on the red carpet, each with an uplifting look, and some even cried with joy.
The scene was filled with people, the camera kept clattering, and its momentum was not inferior to the red carpet of the Oscars.
Palmatt is right, it is not as huge as the premiere. Just talking about the red carpet, it is as long as 1,000 feet.
But Feng Yiping felt that it was worth doing this, "Palmatte, look, these are all Marvel fans. How many years have we not held such an event?"
"I think that as soon as such an event is held, not only will there be more and more people going to the cinema to watch Iron Man, but our recent comic sales will also increase significantly."
"The times have changed, and now, it is an era where traffic is king."
Feige was so excited that he couldn't wait, "This is a Marvel fan festival!"
Feng Yiping does have this meaning. How many companies have dreamed of having so many fanatical and loyal fans? Marvel has made no achievements in managing the fan economy over the years.
Their car stopped.
"Dear Palmatte, go and accept the cheers!" Feng Yiping said to the opened car door and the reporter who rushed to the front of the car to take pictures.
Palmat looked at Feng Yiping and made a position where you asked first, and Feiqi also said the same thing.
This is naturally a respect for Feng Yiping.
Feng Yiping gave in a few times, and with their insistence, he had to be the first to come out of the car.
In an instant, the dense flash lights made him unable to open his eyes.
But he could feel that there was a small pause in the middle, and it seemed that many reporters were a little confused. Which star is this?
But soon, the flash became denser, and this was naturally the current boss of Marvel, the legendary Mr. Feng.
Feng Yiping stood beside the car, which was at the entrance of the red carpet, and waved his hand slightly. Feiqi, who was dressed in a rare manner, also got out of the car and waved with a smile.
Then, the car door is closed from the inside, what's going on?
Feng Yiping looked sideways and happened to see Palmatt signaling to him. Then, he extended the Cadillac and drove away from the scene smoothly.
"Palmatt doesn't want to walk the red carpet," Feiqi said in Feng Yiping's ear in a low voice.
Feng Yiping smiled and nodded. Palmatt really didn't want to show up in such a public occasion. When he first prepared to acquire Marvel, it was difficult to find his photos online and in newspapers.
The rare one I found was the one I looked like when he was still young and strong many years ago.
A blond female reporter held the microphone and squeezed into Feng Yiping, "Mr. Feng, do you have anything to say to the audience at the scene at this time today?"
Feng Yiping looked at the sign on the microphone. It was the sign of Fox News, and it was also the person who was placed in front of him must have been selected.
The movies produced by Marvel and Netflix are currently distributed by Twentieth Century Fox. In addition, the cooperation between the two parties in other aspects, such as the co-production of "Avatar", so what should be taken care of is naturally to be taken care of.
"Thank you very much to the comic readers and fans who came here today, Feige and I want to tell you that from today onwards, we will build our Marvel Universe on the movie,"
"This universe that carries a lot of memories and dreams, longings and expectations. We will do our best to protect it with everyone."
