Nanaya looked at the USB flash drive in his hand with great interest.
Although Miss Arong did not mention a single word about the USB flash drive from beginning to end, Nanaya could probably guess what was inside.
It must be related to these leaks, otherwise the reporter would not have mentioned this at the beginning.
But Nanaya was not in a hurry to find a computer to check the information in the USB drive.
Because the movie was about to start, Nanaya hurriedly called Bali to walk towards the screening room together.
Almost at the same time, advance screenings of "Thor" are about to begin in many theaters in North America.
Countless audiences flocked in to watch this latest Marvel movie.
"Brother-in-law, you're too slow." Lily complained with a pout.
"Why is it you?"
The corners of Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly. He found that there was no empty seat in this row except the seat next to Lily.
"My sister said I can sit here~"
Lily had an innocent and cheerful smile on her face.
But no matter how Nanaya looked at it, he felt that this smile seemed to carry a very deep meaning.
"Where are the Ryans?"
"She went to sit with Sister Shion. I wonder what they would talk about together. Hey~~~"
Lily tilted her head and launched a cute attack on Nanaya.
[Hey, my brother-in-law! You are no longer old enough to use a loli voice to be cute, right? ]
Even though the blonde girl with a ponytail has been full of energy since they met,
But now Lily is really not suitable to speak in the voice of a little girl.
Nanaya glanced towards the middle of the front row and found that Ryan was really talking to Shion.
Judging from their expressions, the two people seemed to be having a very happy chat.
"What are you talking about?"
"Maybe they were discussing your proficiency in certain positions."
Nanaya's expression froze and he flicked Lily on the forehead.
"Little girl, stop doing these things that are not suitable for children."
Lily blushed: "Obviously I was talking about Wii Sports."
"Hmph~"
"It's not cute when a grown man snorts~" Lily waved at Nanaya, "And brother-in-law, if you don't sit down, the movie will start~"
Nanaya then sat down next to Lilili.
"Want to eat?"
The blonde girl with a ponytail smiled and handed over a bucket of popcorn.
Nanaya grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth without any hesitation.
Neither Lily nor Nanaya are the main creators of "Thor", so they won't have to appear on stage during the curtain call later.
This allows the two of them to eat popcorn and drink Coke while watching a movie without worrying about their image.
Just as Nanaya was chewing popcorn wantonly, "Thor" officially began.
First, the opening credits of the movie produced by Washimine Entertainment and Marvel flashed by, and then the movie entered the formal plot.
Similar to many traditional mythological movies, the beginning of "Thor" uses an opening format of "Long long ago".
In 965 AD,
After more than ten years of war, Zhao Kuangyin finally unified the dynasty and officially opened the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although the Byzantine Empire was fighting fiercely with the Muslims, it was still in the golden age of the empire.
There is also a group of Vikings from outer space fighting with the White Walkers on Earth.
Well... probably.
To be honest, Nanaya really thinks that the art style of the Frost Giants is super similar to the White Walkers in "A Song of Ice and Fire".
Especially when both sides have ice attributes, it is even more difficult to distinguish.
The setting that both sides have weapons that can spray ice is also surprisingly similar.
The only difference is that one is an ice box flashing blue light, and the other is a giant dragon.
As in most legends, the Vikings led by Odin, ugh, it was the Asgard troops who successfully repelled the Frost Giants and protected the peace of the nine realms.
Then the main story begins. The young prince Thor is about to inherit the throne, but his journey is interrupted by an accident and he embarks on a wonderful journey.
The plot of this version of Thor is not much different from that of Nanaya's previous life.
But director Guillermo del Toro used the thriller style that he is good at.
Especially the Frost Kingdom, because of its dark and cold setting.
This scene was filmed with a strong Gothic feel and is really not that far from a thriller.
As a price, Nanaya almost crushed the popcorn in his hand into powder.
In addition to the change in art style, another major improvement of this movie compared to the "Thor" in Nanaya's memory is the reduction of many German-style angled shots.
Now Nanaya no longer has to COS Shen Gongbao when watching movies. It is really uncomfortable to watch a movie with a tilted head.
Another thing is that Hawkeye has more scenes.
Not only did he stop Thor when he broke into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s temporary facility.
Later, when the Destroyer invaded the Earth, Hawkeye was the only one among all the SHIELD agents who fought back and forth with the Destroyer.
This adaptation was naturally at the instruction of Nanaya.
Although Hawkeye is included in the six founding members of the movie version of the Avengers, his positioning is awkward.
Since his first appearance in "Thor", he has been in a situation where he has a strong presence but is often forgotten.
So Nanaya asked the "Thor" crew to strengthen Hawkeye's role in it.
And like Natasha, let him show off his abilities in the movie so that the audience can remember him.
Finally, the movie naturally ends with a relatively perfect ending.
Even though Thor lost his brother and couldn't see the woman he loved, he at least protected the Nine Realms.
The whole movie is more exciting than surprising for the audience.
Moreover, many viewers were dissatisfied with the plot in which Loki died at the end of the movie.
Although Marvel movies have always been exciting, the creation of villains has always been a problem.
In the four Marvel movies starting with "Iron Man", tool villains have always been a big problem.
But this time's "Thor" is different. Tom Hiddleston's performance as Loki is not only outstanding, but the plot is also impressive.
Such a tragic prince character not only made the audience feel his negative character curve, but also attracted people's attention.
It can be said that Loki is the most successful villain created by Marvel so far.
But such an outstanding character was killed in the first film of the Thor series? !
"Isn't Loki Thor's archenemy in the comics? Why did he die so quickly?"
"Exactly. I want to see more of Loki's scenes."
"Tom Hiddleston's acting is really great. Although he has the same expression of being embarrassed as in FZ, the style is completely different."
…
Comments like these were not uncommon in the cinema, and it seemed that all the audience felt sorry for Loki's "death".
However, despite their complaints, the audience did not leave.
Movie fans have long developed the habit of waiting until the end to see the Easter eggs in Marvel movies.
Especially during the San Diego Comic-Con, everyone was told that there would be an "Avengers" Easter egg after "Thor".
These Marvel fans won't choose to leave before seeing the Easter eggs.
When the phrase [Thor will return.] appeared, everyone saw Dr. Selvig in the movie appear on the screen again.
Nick Fury then showed the doctor the treasure of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was also something that had appeared in the previous "Captain America" movie - the Cosmic Cube.
But this was not a surprise. What made the audience exclaim was that Loki's shadow appeared in the reflection of the glass next to Dr. Selvig.
Loki is not dead yet!!
The audience in the theater cheered and some even applauded in celebration.
But the real surprises begin now.
When Loki used magic to control Dr. Selvig to say the same words as himself, the scene switched to a building.
The logo on the building is exactly the Stark Industries that everyone saw a few months ago.
Then a golden-red humanoid mecha flew across the sky, and this time the audience cheered even louder.
"Do you think there is only one superhero in this world?"
The voice of Chief Furry sounded in the BGM, and then Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye and other heroes, as well as the villain Loki all appeared.
Originally Marvel planned that the trailer for "Avengers" should be composed of flash shots.
Because the filming of the movie has just started, there are not many shots that can be used.
But after the leak, Nanaya revised the plan.
He asked the "Avengers" crew to focus on shooting a few scenes of heroes gathering together, which could be considered a special trailer for "Thor".
As for whether the images in the trailer will be used in the final movie, Marvel doesn't know, the crew doesn't know, and Nanaya doesn't know even more.
Anyway, just ignite the excitement of the fans.
In the past life, Marvel had the nickname "trailer scam", but fans didn't have any objections.
Finally, the director stood in the operating room of the flying aircraft carrier, looking at the heroes in front of him.
"Everyone, prepare for action."
This sentence immediately exploded in the entire screening room, and the movie title "Avengers" appeared on the screen amid the audience's thunderous cheers.
"Avengers! Avengers! Avengers!"*N
All the fans were chanting for the next movie as if they were watching something other than Thor.
"It's really uncomfortable to have the spotlight stolen from you."
Director Guillermo del Toro muttered a little depressed.
"You have to get used to this kind of thing," Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson, consoled him. "I've been to several Marvel movie premieres."
"For Marvel fans, what they look forward to most is never this Marvel movie, but the next Marvel movie."
Looking at the audience who were still cheering, Toro had to admit that the other party was right.
Regardless of the mood of the "Thor" crew members, the film's commercial success is definitely a success.
Thanks to the Marvel brand and the leaked version of the movie, Thor's first weekend box office performance directly reached 79 million US dollars.
It's a fantastic start to a new superhero movie franchise.
What makes Marvel feel even more comfortable is that "Wolverine", which was released only the week after "Thor", only grossed 45.78 million in its first weekend.
Compared to the $150 million cost of "Wolverine", it can only be described as a failure.
