v2 Chapter 580： Hollywood’s worst film leak

Pushing open the door, Drake walked into the rented house, took off his jacket and hung it on the hanger next to the door, and gently pinched his eyebrows. It was another very busy day. He looked at the computer for a long time. Not too comfortable, I can't help standing in front of the window, looking into the distance.

The location here is very good. From the window, you can see most of the scenery of San Francisco Bay, especially the famous Alcatraz Island, right in front of him.

Seeing this famous island, Drake immediately thought of the most famous movie about the island-"Brave to Death Island", which was a movie he liked very much.

"Duke Rosenberg's new film is about to be released again."

Looking back from San Francisco Bay, Drake turned to the room. Like most young people in North America, there are many movie posters on the wall. The most eye-catching position is a red and gold armored man flying poster. It is the upcoming "Iron Man".

These are the latest posters issued by Warner Bros., and the people who can collect before the film is released are either Duke fans or Iron Man fans.

And Drake combines the two, since the "Iron Man" project was established, he has been paying attention to the progress of the film.

After a short break, Drake sat at the desk, turned on the computer, and went to Duke 4’s personal official website and instant sharing account to look at it. The promotion and content of "Iron Man" were the same as yesterday. There is no update, even the trailer has only released one trailer so far, and Warner Bros. doesn't seem to have any plans to release a second one.

"It's really anxious to wait."

Just like last year, Drake would love to start the summer vacation soon.

After browsing several official websites, he turned to a film and television forum, and just opened the section about movies, he found a post that was put on top.

"The finished version of "Iron Man", friends who want to watch the movie in advance, please come in!"

How did the video come out online?

Drake frowned slightly. I clicked on this post and found that the number of views has exceeded 100,000, and the number of replies has reached tens of thousands...

Did the video leak?

As a senior movie fan, Drake certainly understands what this means, although a voice in his head tells him not to click on the link above. Maybe the link pointed to a viral website, but after all, I couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart and the ** who wanted to see "Iron Man" in advance, clicked the mouse gently.

That was a link to an external site. Now that it was opened, Drake put other concerns behind his head and chose to download it.

The waiting time is long, sitting in front of the computer bored looking through other film and television forums, Drake almost found the same post. The speed of network spread is too fast.

If the content on the Internet is true, then Duke Rosenberg will be in big trouble.

In Hollywood, there have been cases where copies of films flowed out before they were released. Even if the Internet is not as developed as it is now, those films have suffered a heavy blow.

Surely Duke can carry it over, right? Besides, the resources on the Internet may not be real.

Just when Drake thought so, the download was over, even if he knew it was unethical behavior, curiosity and human nature of taking advantage of it were at fault. He still dragged the downloaded file into the video player.

"This...this is really "Iron Man"!"

Although there are no titles from Warner Bros., Marvel Comics, and Duke Studios, the words Iron Man are quite obvious. And shortly after the picture appeared, Robert Downey Jr. showed up, he is the iconic look of Tony Stark in the comics.

This version is also clear enough to be comparable to the quality of the DVDs released by Warner Bros. The only drawback is that the screen has a time code rate and Warner Bros. watermark. This is obviously a resource that was stolen from someone who didn't know how.

However, you can watch it this way, especially the first few explosive scenes, which are quite Duke's original style.

Pressing the pause button, Drake made a cup of coffee. I went back to the computer to continue watching, but after not watching it for long this time, my brows became tightly frowned, and this version was not completed at all.

Obviously Tony Stark appeared in the Mark generation, but Robert Downey Jr. in the picture is wearing a gray tights, what the **** is standing in front of a blue screen?

Okay, after thinking about it for a moment, Drake guessed that Robert Downey Jr. was wearing a motion capture suit. The blue screen behind it was to be replaced by a synthetic background in post-production. The special effects were obviously not added.

After sighing, Drake decided to endure it for the time being, maybe the special effects here have not been completed yet, and the rest should still be seen.

However, the further he looked back, the deeper his brow frowned, and the film couldn't be seen at all.

The editing of the film is correct, but all the special effects are not added, except for a few scenes of Robert Downey Jr. walking wearing props. Where is the so-called Iron Man? Drake didn't see it at all.

Superhero movies without special effects, are they still superhero movies?

Not only that, except for a few live recording scenes, there is no sound in many parts of the film, and the soundtrack is nowhere to be seen from beginning to end...

In the end, Drake didn’t finish the reading at all, and turned it off. He checked the time and decided to go to bed. He just lay down and his head was full of Iron Man-related content. When he didn’t read the resources downloaded on the Internet, he I just wanted to see this film, but after watching it, I was thinking about it, and I couldn't wait in my heart.

Not only did the content I just watched didn't quench my thirst, but it was like a traveler in the desert drinking water, but there was only one drop of water, making the **** more uncomfortable.

Tossing and unable to sleep, Drake simply got up and turned on the computer again, logged into Google and checked it, only to find that starting from next week, "Iron Man" movie tickets can be booked through telephone and internet channels.

Hurry up next week, let’s start the summer...

It is not just Drake who has this kind of thought, but there are also many people who read the "Iron Man" resources downloaded on the Internet.

It is not only ordinary movie fans who have noticed relevant information and resources on the Internet, but there are also many media, especially online media, with amazing response speed.

Yahoo Entertainment responded almost immediately.

"The source of "Iron Man" was leaked on the Internet!"

"The summer file opens. The famous director Duke Rosenberg’s new film "Iron Man" will be released in North America on May 5. Unfortunately, the source of this large-scale production has been leaked online today. It spread quietly on major film and television forum websites."

"The image quality of the source is completely DVD effect. It is reported that it is basically a full-length version, but the special effects, dubbing and soundtrack have not been added. In addition, the source has a clear time code rate and watermark, which greatly affects the image quality effect. The biggest blockbuster in the history of Hollywood movies has leaked ahead of time. It is hard to say what kind of impact it will eventually have on "Iron Man"..."

In the Warner Bros’ meeting room, Tina Fei turned off the projector, and Yahoo Entertainment’s related reports disappeared. Although it was already night, almost everyone from Duke, Marvel Pictures, and Warner Bros. Sitting in the conference room.

All people have serious faces. This is undoubtedly a very serious incident.

The meeting has been going on for more than half an hour, and now there is no clue as to which part of the problem went wrong.

"Whether the source of the film on the Internet came from the Duke team, Marvel Pictures, or Warner Bros., we will have time to check later."

Pani Kelly, who has been silent all the time, spoke up. As an expert in public relations, she is best at dealing with various emergencies. "Everyone, where the entanglement film is leaked now is meaningless!"

After this kind of thing happens, the parties will inevitably have some mutual suspicion, which is human nature.

"Doug, Kevin..."

Looking up, Duke looked at Warner Bros’ CEO Doug Walter and Marvel Pictures’ CEO Kevin Fitch, and said, “I think you all should know that Rob Zumby’s Halloween and Lay Eros’s "Human Skin Inn" has been leaked in advance, and it obviously affected the box office results."

He emphasized a little bit, "But the past leaks are not as serious as this time. Don't forget the investment in "Iron Man". We must do everything we can to restore the negative impact."

In post-production, due to the increased requirements for special effects, the final production cost of "Iron Man" increased to 150 million US dollars. If such an investment project incurs serious losses, Duke, Marvel Pictures and Warner Bros. will all face Great dilemma.

Especially for Marvel Pictures, if "Iron Man" fails, the entire subsequent series will not be said to collapse, but it is inevitable to postpone it indefinitely.

However, such a crisis is not easy to deal with, and Hollywood has not had a successful precedent in the past. Even Penny Kelly, a veteran who has worked in Hollywood and the entertainment industry for decades, could not think of a way to use it. .

"If you let me find out who did it..."

Doug Walter, who was sitting next to Duke, looked calm, but his forehead jumped sharply, "Then he will be dead!"

Duke glanced at him and didn't say anything. He rushed to the Warner Building because he got the news. He still hasn't seen what kind of version is circulating. If it is a digital copy that has basically completed post-production, " Even if the box office of "Iron Man" does not collapse, I am afraid it will be much worse than expected.

A knock on the door sounded, and an assistant walked into the meeting room. He handed a disk to Tina Fei, who turned on the projector again.

It was the leaked version of "Iron Man" that appeared on the curtain, but after watching it, Duke's frowning eyebrows gradually loosened.

This is the version stored on Warner Bros. servers. (To be continued...)

ps: In the past, it was checked at least twice before uploading. Now the conditions do not allow it. You can only check it once. If there are individual typos, please understand.
