Chapter 642 Thief Cao, you are worthy of being the one!

The global release time of "Avengers" is not uniform. It is the same in Asia, Australia and North America, a few days later in Europe, and not much different in South America and Europe.

Therefore, not long after Cao Xuan attended the premiere of "Avengers", the film began to be released in China.

Li Ruiyang, a native of Binshi, went to college in Quancheng, and is one of the rare die-hard Marvel fans in China.

As mentioned before, although "Iron Man" was released in mainland China as early as 2008, the later "Iron Man 2" even achieved a box office of 200 million+.

But the popularity is more about the IP itself of "Iron Man" and has little to do with Marvel.

Otherwise, "Captain America" ​​and "Thor" would not be collectively ignored. If it weren't for the latter, with the popularity of Cao Xuan's cameo and joining Marvel, it would be difficult to exceed 100 million.

Therefore, so far, there are not many real Marvel fans in China. They are more fans of the two popular heroes Iron Man and Hawkeye (Cao Xuan).

Even in the original time and space, it was only after "Avengers" that the Marvel Universe was fully launched in China and continued to attract a large number of fans.

Not only its own benefits, but also related "peripherals" are also popular.

For example, at Bilibili, there are many ups who specialize in American comics. Some of them have over a million fans. They also have online articles. American comics are also a relatively popular genre. If the author is of decent quality, it is not difficult to produce high-quality products.

However, before the release of "Avengers" in 2012, the number of die-hard Marvel fans is indeed small, and a large part of it is because "Hawkeye" has just entered the circle.

Li Ruiyang, on the other hand, got into trouble with "X-Men" when he was in high school, before the first part of "Iron Man" was released.

I dare not say that they are the earliest batch of Marvel fans in China, but they are relatively early. Even further back, they may be fans of "Spider-Man" or overseas students.

The Internet at the beginning of the century was not like later generations, where you could search for information casually, and there were ready-made popular science videos. Many things did not even have entries, so you had to rely on yourself and your friends to find them. It was a lot of trouble to get some materials.

Li Ruiyang's English is not good and he doesn't know how to extract information. He just follows the big guys and shouts "Come on", he is as humble as a lackey.

It wasn't until "Iron Man" became popular, the popularity of Marvel in China increased, and the Internet platform became increasingly developed, that Li Ruiyang felt better.

However, it is precisely because of this that he started to completely switch to Marvel from his original fan of "X-Men" and American comics.

His favorite Marvel actors or characters are-

Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Cao Xuan (Hawkeye).

Taking into account the bonus of compatriots of nationality, Cao Xuan may have to move to the front row, surpassing Wolverine.

As for surpassing Iron Man, it may be a bit dangerous, because Li Ruiyang is a complete mecha controller, and at the same time, Iron Man's setting is also more favored by him.

Regardless of the halo of being a genius and rich man, Tony Stark is just an ordinary person. "Mutant" superheroes such as Hawkeye and Wolverine are not as easy to replace as Iron Man.

Li Ruiyang likes Marvel for no other reason than he thinks superheroes are very cool and he also has a dream of being a Superman.

As for the few superheroes that have been released so far, Thor is a god, widows are women, mutants need to bring their own genes, Hawkeye settings require hard work and practice, Hulk is mentally ill, and he doesn’t have such big pants.

Those who can make ordinary people become normal superheroes at once may be Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-Man.

Although Captain America's super serum is a good thing, its combat power is relatively weak.

After all, the American team has not shown its 50/50 attributes yet. Everyone dislikes this setting of developing human body limits + super fighting skills.

The rewards in the web system are all ranked at the bottom, and together with the T-Virus in "Resident Evil", it is basically one of the must-have novice gifts for some protagonists at the beginning.

In comparison, Cao Xuan's Eagle Eye is much better than Captain America. Not only does he have super fighting skills and super physical fitness, he also has long-range attack and weapon modification capabilities. The key is the buff of [Innate Qi], which directly opens up his combat power.

hang.

If Captain America's ability is D-level, Hawkeye is at least C+, and that's not counting the potential of "Innate Energy" for the time being.

The abilities of Iron Man and Spider-Man are more attractive. Just one of them can fly (reverberate around the building) and kill the American team in an instant.

Regardless of other aspects of the character, Iron Man's cool mecha + functional diversity + high growth potential also allow him to defeat Spider-Man and become the superhero that is easiest for many people to adopt and most willing to become.

High-looking mecha VS striped tights

Others don’t know, but Li Ruiyang voted with his feet and would definitely vote for Iron Man first.

Li Ruiyang’s good friend and roommate Yu Hu was dragged into the Marvel trap by him.

Not counting Tartar, the popularity of "Hawkeye" really made many people willing to watch other Marvel movies, and those who were interested jumped into the trap.

Compared with Li Ruiyang, Yu Hu's favorite hero is Hawkeye, not only because of the role played by Cao Xuan, but also because of his handsome fighting style. He holds the bow and shoots wherever he points, with a kind of coolness and elegance.

Moreover, there are many Chinese elements in Hawkeye, which makes him more identifiable than other heroes.

Of course, there is another very important element, which is because Hawkeye’s CP is the widowed sister.

An LSP like Yu Hu has no resistance to beauties.

Some people will hate their favorite actress CP, but because Yu Hu also likes Cao Xuan, he loves Wu Jiwu and consumes the "Eagle Widow" emotional line every day.

The two of them grabbed movie tickets from Time.com, skipped half of class in the afternoon, and took the bus to watch "Avengers" at the Star Cinema in the city.

After several years of development, Shiguang.com has become the number one community for film and television information and rating discussions in China. Its popularity and influence are currently catching up with the world, and it is expected to surpass it in a short period of time.

However, after it exceeds the limit, it will probably reach the saturation period. After all, the website is positioned here, and its upper limit is far lower than that of Weibo, Tieba and other platforms.

Of course, Time.com is not sitting still. It is currently deeply involved in the ticketing business and has launched large-scale cooperation with theaters such as Fanxing, China Film, New Film Alliance, and Magic City United.

In addition to movies, Time.com has also contracted the ticketing business for offline performances such as Deyun Club, People's Art, Happy Twist, celebrity concerts, concerts, etc. It has even recently extended its tentacles to the sports circle, contacting the Chinese Super League and CBA online

Ticketing.

Of course, the above are just the icing on the cake, the most important thing is to bring the penguins into the game.

In 2011, Time.com officially accepted US$20 million in financing from Penguin and sold 25% of its shares, making Penguin the company’s second largest shareholder.

The biggest benefit of Penguin's investment is that Time.com has access to Penguin's traffic pool, and the website entrance quickly appeared on QQ, WeChat and other websites and APPs.

To buy tickets, go to Time.com!

This advertising slogan was also spread crazily on Penguin-related platforms and advertisements, completely establishing the name of Time.com Ticketing.

Currently, Mtime.com ranks first in the online ticketing business, and the only one that poses a threat is [Taopiaopiao], which is backed by Alibaba. As for other companies like Douban, Meituan, etc., they are basically going to be beaten.

Mastering online ticketing is a great supplement and benefit to Star Movies and Star Cinemas.

In particular, Fanxing Cinema Chain has launched certain ticket replenishment activities with Time Network, and various publicity has also been given priority, which has greatly boosted the cinema chain's business.

It can be said that despite the crazy expansion of Wanda Cinema Line in the past two years, Fanxing has never been left behind. Although the theater chain itself has strong strength, Time Network also has a great contribution.

Now Wanda Cinema Line is preparing to accept Alibaba's capital injection. The two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation. The follow-up of Time Network/Fangxing will face a very severe test.

However, with sufficient market share and the support of Fanxing and Penguin, Time.com still has a good chance of winning, or at least maintaining a tie for victory.

………

Li Ruiyang and Yu Hu discussed the trailer along the way.

There are two versions of the trailer for "Avengers". The first version is a bit messy, and you can probably see a few people fighting aliens. The other latest version is a civil war between several heroes, including Thor fighting Iron Man and Hawkeye fighting the United States.

Team.

Although according to the routine, the two sides may not necessarily turn against each other, but it is inevitable to discuss who is more powerful.

Li Ruiyang insisted on Iron Man and Thor, while Yu Hu thought Hulk and Thor were the most powerful, followed by Hawkeye.

"Iron Man can fly and can suppress people at high altitudes."

"Hawkeye is a long-range attack. Just wait to be shot at a short distance. With the power shown in the last movie, Iron Man can directly break through armor. His crispy armor will kill him, let alone the Hulk.

He's like squeezing a chick."

"No matter how squishy it is, it's useless to catch him. At Iron Man's speed, the Hulk can only watch, and Hawkeye may not be able to hit him."

"It doesn't matter if you miss a hundred times, if you catch it once, you will die."

"..."

The more the two of them talked, the more lively they became. If they weren't still thinking about watching a movie, they might have made an appointment to talk and the conversation would turn into a physical fight.

Because of the traffic jam, when I arrived at the theater, there were only a few minutes left, so I quickly picked up my tickets and went in. Fortunately, the movie had just started.

The book continues from the previous chapter, and it begins with Loki coming to snatch the Cosmic Cube, and after all the hard work, he uses the Mind Scepter to control Hawkeye.

As a big fan of Hawkeye, Yu Hu was very dissatisfied: "What the hell? Isn't this a forced plot kill? Why is it being controlled? Isn't this smearing Hawkeye?"

Li Ruiyang was not happy either. Although he liked Iron Man more, he also liked Hawkeye.

In the last movie "Eagle Eye", he was so happy when he shot Crossfire, but now he got it all at once.

"Calm down, calm down, Loki is a god, and that scepter is pretty awesome, so it's not a loss of status. Besides, this is just the beginning, so don't be in a hurry."

There was an old man next to him who heard what the two of them said. He seemed to be an old fan and he spoke to comfort them.

After all, they were in a movie theater, so Li Ruiyang and Li Ruiyang didn't say much, concentrating on watching the plot behind them.

The plot of "Avengers" is very simple. To sum up, it is probably that Loki controls Hawkeye, steals the Rubik's Cube, and prepares to let aliens attack the earth. Because of the difficulty between Loki and Hawkeye, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own power cannot

To block, only the superhero team Avengers can be formed.

However, this group of superheroes are all rebellious people and are not convinced by each other.

In addition, Loki pretended to be caught, but actually used the psychic scepter to interfere with everyone's emotions, causing everyone to become more hostile and chaotic, even causing the Hulk to lose control.

At this time, Hawkeye, who was cooperating with Loki, led a team to sneak attack the flying aircraft carrier of SHIELD headquarters.

The first big climax of the whole movie has arrived.

For domestic audiences, they are definitely attracted to Cao Xuan. Regardless of whether they like Iron Man or Captain America, the one with the highest priority must be Hawkeye.
