Los Angeles Grand Theater.

20th Century Fox Film, one of the top six Hollywood, will hold a grand premiere for the well-known comic adaptation of the movie "X-Men 1".

Red carpet, media reporters, fans of comics and movie fans, grand viewing...

These are of course standard for the movie premiere.

Moreover, 20th Century Fox Films made a lot of money for the premiere of the "X-Men" movie, and it is definitely not a false statement to become famous.

"Fox Pictures is really willing to spend money!"

"Who said no? Just the venue fee, the hosting fee, the clothing fee, etc., the money they spent today is no less than $1.5 million."

"What's this?"

"That is, the production cost of "X-Men" alone is as high as $75 million, and according to reports, Murdoch personally issued an order that the promotional budget for "X-Men" will be no less than $40 million."

"The X-Men is undoubtedly the largest investment in Hollywood comic-making movies in recent years."

The media reporters on both sides of the red carpet, and before the stars, directors, producers and invited guests arrived, they started to talk lively.

After all, their job is for this.

"Haha, I said guys, have you forgotten Wald Pictures' Spider-Man?"

Suddenly, a reporter's words exploded in the crowd.

Wald Pictures' Spider-Man?

Suddenly, many media reporters couldn't help but slap their heads and said they had forgotten to say it.

The production cost of "X-Men" is as high as US$75 million, and the publicity budget is not less than US$40 million;

But what about Spider-Man?

The production cost of "Spider-Man" is as high as $150 million, which is nearly $10 million more than the original version of Time and Space, and the promotion budget is more than $60 million. Well, if necessary, Zucker is also preparing to add promotional funds.

In fact, it is understandable that the media reporters on the scene suddenly forgot about "Spider-Man".

"Walder Pictures' heart is really big."

A young reporter said: "In May and June, Spider-Man's publicity, on television, radio, and stage play, was a grand scale and caused a lot of controversy. However... since early July, they have consciously reduced the proportion of publicity and promotion, so that "X-Men" has come from behind."

Just finished speaking.

"idiot!"

A middle-aged reporter next to the young reporter sneered: "You see, you have just entered the industry, what do you know?"

"Uh?" The young reporter was stunned.

Another older reporter around him laughed and said, "Young man, that is, you still have the sign of an intern reporter. Look at everyone, will anyone think that Wald Pictures is wrong?"

Suddenly, many reporters around couldn't help laughing.

Industry tacit understanding!

"X-Men" was released half a month earlier than "Spider-Man". The two must be staggered for a certain period of time in terms of publicity. This is the industry tacit understanding from large companies.

The films behind the films that were released at different times are very tacit in the industry, otherwise they would be provoking or even declare war.

Both sides who break the tacit understanding of the industry will surely kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them.

"Walder Pictures is not stupid. "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" are comic-adapted movies from Marvel Comics. "X-Men" will be released in half a month. It can be said that as long as "X-Men" achieves great success, it will be the best promotion for "Spider-Man"!" A female reporter explained with a smile.

"Uh...so that's it, thank you!"

Regarding the female reporter's explanation, the young and intern reporter who had just entered the industry quickly expressed his gratitude.

.........

At the same time.

The group of fans who wandered around the red carpet was also very lively at this moment.

"marvelous!"

"Mutual comics, but my favorite, now it is finally going to be put on the big screen."

"Yes, first, "Blade Warrior" made a big splash, now it's "X-Men" again, and "Spider-Man" will be released soon. Hohoho... I'm very excited to think about seeing those superheroes on the big screen."

Although Marvel has become a bit of a slight scent in recent years, you have to admit that the comics produced by Marvel are the childhood of many American citizens. Being able to see their favorite comic characters appear on the big screen one by one is indeed a memory and yearning for them.

The premiere of "X-Men" was held in Los Angeles on the West Coast, but there are still many people from Florida, Virginia, and Maine who came here specifically just to have a glimpse.

.........

"Welcome Director Spielberg!"

.........

"Welcome to Director James Cameron!"

.........

"Welcome Mr. Tom Hanks!"

.........

Celebrities, directors, producers, film company owners and other people from all walks of life from Hollywood have walked across the red carpet one after another.

As Hollywood's new media tycoon and entertainment tycoon, Zhuke is naturally among the invitations.

Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Films;

"Spider-Man" director Sam Remy;

The two of them walked on the red carpet with Zhuke.

"Kevin, producer Lauren Shuler of X-Men, you should be familiar with it, right?" Zucker asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Kevin Fitch nodded and said, "I worked as Ms. Shuler's assistant before I graduated from college. I worked for more than four years. If you had not commissioned a headhunter company to bring me to Wald Pictures, I guess now, I am either at Marvel or continue to follow Ms. Shuler."

Lauren Schuler, also known as Lauren Schuler Donner, is the best among Hollywood female producers.

The future of the "X-Men" series, the "Wolverine" series, and the "Deadpool" series are all planned and created by Lauren Schuler.

Even as of 20th Century Fox, the 12 Mutant Movies produced by it have her figure as of 2020.

Marvel's superhero movies, which failed to become popular all over the world, are definitely one of the biggest promoters.

"She's amazing!" Zucker sighed.

"He's very awesome, and he can be said to be one of the most powerful female producers." Kevin Feige said.

At this time, director Sam Remy, who was standing by, interjected: "Mr. Wald, didn't you think about digging her into your company?"

Dig it up?

Zhuke shook his head.

What did you never think about it?

In fact, Zhuke had taken action, but she refused resolutely, and many times.
Chapter completed!
