Compared with "Superman: Man of Steel", although the setting refers to the background of General Zod's invasion of the earth, this version of "Superman" is basically two completely different stories.

Clark Kent learns his identity in a Kryptonian spacecraft in the Antarctic ice and is given the official Superman suit.

In the initial publicity, Simon's Superman suit designed with reference to "Superman: Man of Steel" also caused some controversy. As the film's release date approached, the powerful new Superman suit also won more and more. Many Superman fans even believe that this is what Superman really should look like.

Putting on his battle clothes, he realized the power he possesses. For the first time, Superman leaped over the glacier, crossed the sea, traversed the desert, swept across the grassland, and finally rushed to the vast starry sky to overlook the earth, which once again brought a shock to the audience. A powerful visual feast.

For the Hollywood filmmakers who participated in the premiere, the advanced special effects technology contained in this group of shots of less than 1 minute even made people feel a strong sense of powerlessness.

The mainstream of Hollywood is still chasing big stars and big directors who are getting lower and lower cost performance. Daenerys Entertainment has spared no effort in investing in technology, and has left everyone far behind.

At the same time as Superman was awakened, the "Planet Daily" reporter Lois Lane, who was accidentally rescued by him in the Antarctic ice, began to inquire about the details of the alien visitor, and followed Clark Kent's adventures. close to the truth.

In the distant space, receiving the signal of the Krypton spacecraft, General Zod led his subordinates to the earth.

In "Superman: Man of Steel", General Zod arrived on Earth and directly started a global broadcast to demand the surrender of the Kryptonians hidden among humans, thus causing a global public opinion storm.

Zach Snyder's original intention was to torture humanity through this plot, increase the connotation of the movie, and at the same time reflect Superman's near-perfect 'divine nature'. Even if he was betrayed by humans, he still chose to stand on the side of humans, and then directed the story to Superman in " Sad ending in Batman v Superman.

Simon didn't think about playing Diablo when planning the DC Cinematic Universe from the very beginning, and if something had to be thrown away, he would not hesitate to make the DC Cinematic Universe a pure popcorn series.

The same goes for Superman.

Therefore, General Zod and his party who arrived on Earth did not start the global broadcast, but directly ignored the fragile 'ants' living on this planet, investigated the Krypton spacecraft that sent the signal, and passed the clues left by Clark Kent. , confirming that Kent is likely a descendant of Joe Al.

The most crucial point is that the descendants of Joe El are likely to have a mother box that contains enough power to rebuild Krypton.

General Zod has always wanted to rebuild Krypton.

Finding the mother box, the long-cherished wish of wandering in space for hundreds of years can be realized, and the resource-rich indigenous planet under their feet can also be used as the raw material for the reconstruction of Krypton.

By collecting and screening the information of the human world, General Zod and his party quickly confirmed the identity of Clark Kent and went straight to Kent's hometown.

Smallville, Kansas, where Clark Kent grew up.

Lois Lane finally met the alien visitor in front of the tombstone of Superman's adoptive father Jonathan Kent. Clark did not hide his identity anymore, but told Louise about his adoptive father in an accident that could have been saved by him. The experience of dying in the middle of the world, in order to show their attitude towards the world.

Then, the Krypton spacecraft descended from the sky.

In a hasty encounter, the entire small town of Smallville was almost destroyed. In order to protect his mother, Lois Lane and the residents of the town, Clark Kent could only let General Zod take away the mother box.

The spaceship appeared, the powerful aliens confronted, the town encountered the ravaged ruins, and the news spread quickly.

The federal government has habitually blocked the entire town to avoid panic and strictly control the leakage of information, and at the same time began to track the whereabouts of the Krypton spacecraft.

Clark Kent quietly left with Louise Lane ahead of schedule.

During the communication with the information left by his biological father in the Antarctic ice-covered Krypton spacecraft, Clark Kent knew that the mother box contained powerful energy, and Joe El also repeatedly told Clark Kent to guard the mother box.

Superman had never thought about using the power of the mother box, so he didn't know what General Zod and his party planned to use the mother box to do.

However, both Kent and Ryan felt a strong threat and instinctively thought that the mother box should be taken back.

The story line continues.

The federal government quickly found the whereabouts of the Krypton spacecraft, and was attacked during the tentative contact process, and Superman arrived in time at the critical moment.

The second climax scene.

The federal army retreated under the cover of Superman, and during the confrontation between Superman and General Zod, he learned of the opponent's purpose.

In order to rebuild the overall situation of Krypton, General Zod also tried to recruit Superman, but was rejected.

After another fierce battle, Superman realized that he had to cooperate with the federal government, so he took the initiative to contact the military to try to stop General Zod's conspiracy.

During this process, the master box is activated.

The Krypton spacecraft appeared over the metropolis city, and began to transform the earth using the energy provided by the mother box, and the metropolis was greatly destroyed.

After the Kryptonian war scene at the beginning, Daenerys special effects once again contributed an extremely shocking picture of the city being destroyed.

And, unlike fantasy

In Krypton, the one that was destroyed this time is a city that exists in reality, so it inevitably arouses a strong sense of substitution for the audience.

Final battle.

In order to save the world, Superman and the military work together to destroy the Krypton spacecraft and kill General Zod in a duel between Superman and Superman.

Although the CG special effects at this stage cannot fully show the devastating special effects scenes of "Superman: Man of Steel" in Simon's memory, but in the case of making the most of the technical resources at this stage, the final battle, For the audience in the early 1990s, it is still thrilling, and the degree of shock is no less than the destruction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the big screen at the end of last year.

At the end of the story, the whole world is caught up in the discussion of the war between humans and aliens in the Metropolis, and the image of Superman appears frequently in the media.

Some people admire it, some people fear it, some people criticize it loudly, and some people worship it.

Clark Kent disappeared from the crowd again, joined the temporary headquarters of "The Daily Planet" as a reporter, sneaked around under the assignment of the grumpy editor-in-chief, and stood with Lois Lane in front of the wall TV that was reporting the 'Superman' news, In the raucous and cluttered scene, a child in a replica Superman uniform said he was a hero.

The two looked at each other and clasped their hands together quietly.

The screen goes dark.

Loud background music played.

In the Chinese Grand Theater, all the audience felt a sense of satisfaction after having just watched a great film, but there was no commotion in the auditorium as the subtitles rose.

As usual, dc movie universe movies have easter eggs that people look forward to.

Finally, after the ten-minute end credits ended, the screen lit up again.

In the overlooking shot, in the center of the ruins of the metropolis, people in chemical suits are busy in the wreckage of the Krypton spacecraft like ants. Soon, someone shouted in surprise: Found it.

Immediately, the mother box, which had been dimmed again, was lifted up by someone, and the others quickly gathered and stepped forward.

Easter eggs didn't end so easily.

The camera zooms out again, and a silhouette in a cape appears on the top floor of a building near the ruins.

In a flash.

The big screen was completely darkened.

"Batman!"

With the immediate applause, there were already audiences in the theater hall exclaiming.

Superman and Batman have met too many times in the comics.

However, this is the first time on the big screen.

Even if there is no head-to-head confrontation for the time being, just appearing in a movie in the form of easter eggs, it is enough to make comic fans excited.

The dc movie universe has been paving the way for the gathering of heroes, but so far there has been no scene of several superheroes fighting side by side. Now, with Batman and Superman appearing in the same movie, everyone also realizes that day will not be far away.

Early the next morning, all kinds of media focused almost on the grand premiere of "Superman", and the film's reputation was lifted directly.

"Daenerys's unparalleled special effects skills truly interpret a powerful superhero image perfectly on the big screen." - "The Hollywood Reporter"

"The perfect fifth film, Simon Westeros has mastered the advancing rhythm of the DC movie universe with ease, and the film's plot is as smooth and compact as ever. Compared with Batman and Wonder Woman, the powerful Kryptonian brings audiences to the audience. A totally different and visually stunning experience." - Los Angeles Times

"Rookie star Brad Pitt succeeds Christopher Reeve, Courteney Cox escapes 'Scream' and opens up a new screen image." - "Entertainment Weekly"

"Despite Simon Westeros' personal control, Roland Emmerich's performance is still beyond expectations. There is no doubt that Hollywood once again has an excellent director who can control the super blockbuster."—— "Variety"

In the hot media discussion, after preliminary statistics, the comprehensive media score of "Superman" reached 8.7 points, easily surpassing all the films in the previous two weeks of the summer program. Moreover, under the coverage of phenomenal popularity, a small amount of criticism can not stop the audience from entering the theater.

After a day of word-of-mouth fermentation on Thursday, on June 4, "Superman" officially opened on a large scale in North America with 3,329 screens.

The popularity of "Batman" is comparable to that of "Batman". The popularity of four consecutive successful films in the dc movie universe has paved the way for the more shocking special effects scenes. It is definitely an excellent media reputation. After that, the box office of "Superman" was booming.

Including the midnight show, the film's cumulative box office on the first day reached 23.69 million US dollars.

Then, after two days of screening on Saturday and Sunday, the box office of "Superman" quickly surged to $69.15 million in the first three days of the opening weekend, surpassing the $68.38 million created by "Batman: The Dark Knight" in the first three days of the first weekend. record.

Entering the working day, "Superman" continued to reap the box office strongly because there were no other strong competitors in the same period.

In the end, from June 4th to June 10th, in the first seven days of the first week, the cumulative box office of "Superman" reached 112.61 million US dollars, becoming the second film to achieve a box office of over 100 million in the first week after "Batman: The Dark Knight". Hollywood film.

In just one week, "Superman" has achieved the goal of breaking through 100 million in the local box office that many Hollywood films have tirelessly pursued.

Hollywood has two

The conclusion of this film, the dc movie universe film and others is confirmed again.

Under the strong impact of "Superman", a series of films released in the past few weeks have experienced a very significant drop at the box office this week.

In the third week of its release, Columbia Pictures’ $70 million “The Legend of the Mountain” fell by 53%. The box office in a single week was only $7.96 million, and the cumulative box office in three weeks was only $49.96 million. It is estimated that the total box office in North America can only barely Over $70 million.

Disney's "Super Mario Bros." had a very disappointing start. Under the crushing of "Superman", the box office dropped by as much as 51% in the following week, only collecting US$4.69 million, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was US$14.36 million. After completing the two-week screening contract, many theaters began to quickly withdraw the filming of "Super Mario Bros." The screening scale of 2,081 screens in the first week was rapidly reduced to 1,276 in the third week, and it is expected to be basically down in four weeks.

It is also expected to recover the cost through omni-channel operation in the next few years. The production cost of "Super Mario Bros." is as high as 48 million US dollars, and the domestic box office is expected to be less than 20 million US dollars. Other channel gains, Disney's losses have been inevitable.

Other films such as "Bruce Bruce", "My Genius Family", "Made in America", and "Fairy Tale Ending" also failed to escape the fate of the box office shrinking sharply.

On June 11, four new films appeared in North American theaters at one time.

Paramount Pictures' "The Addams Family" sequel, "The Values ​​of the Addams Family," opened with 2,577 screens. The first film of "The Addams Family" was a big hit at the box office two years ago. This sequel is Paramount's most important film of the summer. The production budget has also increased from the first film's $30 million to $47 million.

Choosing to face the "Superman" sub-week schedule, Paramount has also carefully considered.

According to the box office rules of the previous DC Cinematic Universe films, except for the first "Batman: War Hour", which fell in the first week, after the market potential of several other films was greatly released in the first week, the box office drop in the next week will be very obvious. , so it quickly freed up market space.

Moreover, the "Adams Family Values" genre is a comedy and has little conflict with "Superman".

Speaking of which, the four new films that opened this week are basically based on the same considerations.

The other three are Fox Pictures' "Once Upon a Time in the Forest", which is a cartoon about the adventures of several small animals in the forest, with 1,496 screens.

MGM also released an action movie starring Jean-Claude Vandon this week, "The Ultimate Target," with a $15 million budget and 1,672 screens. MGM does not have the same confidence as Paramount in "The Values ​​of the Addams Family", and there are some omissions in choosing this schedule. June 11, after all, is the most golden period in the summer vacation.

The last one is "Orlando" released by Highgate Pictures, which was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival last year. The producers include European capitals such as the United Kingdom and Italy. Starring Tilda Swinton, the film is adapted from The British fantasy novel of the same name tells the story of an aristocratic teenager, Orlando, who was blessed by Queen Elizabeth after sleeping for 40 years and woke up again as a woman, and then gained immortality and experienced hundreds of years of time changes.

The selling point of the film is very strong, so the copyright was bought out by Gaomen Pictures, and the screening scale of 367 screens was given in this summer file.

With Hollywood watching the second week of "Superman" and the opening of four new films, Simon flew to San Francisco on June 11, where he plans to spend the weekend.

The business is about the copyright dispute between Igret and Hearst Group.

Hearst Group suddenly filed a lawsuit with the San Francisco District Court in March of the beginning of the year on the grounds that the Igreit portal reprinted and used the copyright of a large number of articles, pictures and other contents of Hearst's newspapers and magazines without authorization, and the opening was 100 million US dollars. Huge claims.

Igreit argues against it.

After months of wrangling, the two sides finally decided to reach a private settlement.

To be more precise, it was basically the Hearst Group that was forced to reach a settlement with Igret.

Not only because federal policies and the media public opinion environment are not conducive to the demands of the Hearst Group, but also privately, Igret has seized the Hearst Group's handle, and many of the so-called 'infringing' contents are It was uploaded by Hearst Group's own employees.

So, that's a lot of talk.

It is also very appropriate to say that the employees can do it on their own, and that the Hearst Group is deliberately doing this to try to extort, and the latter statement is obviously more suitable for the public's taste.

However, the method by which Igreit obtained these evidences was actually not very glorious. In addition to calling the official website data and information, it also used the intelligence system that the Westeros family has been training for investigation. Therefore, once the matter is exposed, it will inevitably remind users that privacy rights have been violated, so it cannot be submitted to the court as clear evidence.

The Hearst Group is obviously more guilty.

If they continue to argue, Igreit will be forced to produce its own 'evidence', and the Hearst Group will definitely not get any benefits.

Moreover, the entire federal environment is very unfavorable for the Hearst Group.

Once this lawsuit forms a precedent, it will almost affect the development of the entire Internet industry. Whether it is the federal government that is vigorously promoting the "Information Superhighway Act" or more and more capital from all walks of life entering the Internet industry, Hess will not allow Hess. The special group won the lawsuit.

Solution

Naturally, it can only be a private reconciliation.

Of course, with a heavyweight bargaining chip in his hand, it is just a form of reconciliation, and Igreat will not compensate for a penny.

The two sides reached a settlement on the surface, but the tit-for-tat in private became more intense.

Simon only asked about it on Friday, and for the next two weekends, he accompanied the female assistant in the villa in the Woodside Hills.

There are other reasons to stay in San Francisco for three days in a row.

With the release of "Superman", the third part of the planned "Batman" trilogy "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" has officially started filming in Australia recently. Simon will rush to Melbourne next week as usual to follow up on this for a while. For the project, Janet will also go there together, and the two will probably stay in Melbourne for at least a week.
