My Hollywood System - Chapter 206
After the movie teaser’s release at the Super Bowl, the hype and anticipation for it was almost everywhere since that was the very first time a movie trailer was released in a Superbowl, and in front of everyone millions of people.
At the end of the game, many in the crowd were still talking about the trailer. It was abnormal considering that regardless of the match, the fans would normally discuss the details, ups and downs of the match and what happened during the game—but now, they were all discussing [Spiderman], and how surprising it was.
“Elijah! When was the release date that they had mentioned! I couldn’t even process anything for how good my heart was beating! It was so good! I was eating when the first second went by… but that music! It made me literally shiver, it was that good!”
“You should have seen my expression. I was practically speechless for how good it was. Seriously this is going to be the next biggest thing, I feel it! Even when Victor hit the goal, I was thinking about the way Spiderman was revealed at the end! This is crazy!”
“No kidding, it was good. I don’t normally watch the trailers but straightaway focus on the movie… But that! Although it was kind of forced to watch, because the screen was right in front of us, I couldn’t help but keep looking closely at every second of it. Ah! Can’t wait for the movie!”
“Yeah!” “Indeed!” Everyone agreed to what the other person in their group said. The bunch of guys were already hyped for the movie.
Another group of adults walked past the group of friends who were already discussing the released trailer.
“I can’t believe they lost the game!” A guy wearing a blue t-shirt said while tapping his phone.
“Man, you don’t even look sad, normally when we lose, you’d literally be on the verge of drinking till you pass out! Like what the fucking hell is going on?!” His friend chirped in.
“Well-”
“What’s going on?! Seriously?” Another friend who was upset asked while patting the back of the blue t-shirt dude.
“Did you see the teaser of [Spiderman]?!”
“Urgh!” “Not again please!” “We know!”
All the others groaned knowing he was about to talk about it again. Ever since the break ended, he had been talking about how cool it was without giving much focus to the game.
“You are officially out of the group!” A bald guy who came behind them jumped and slapped the other guy’s head. “That is what you get for the change of heart!”

As soon as the trailer was screened on the big screen, it also was released everywhere else, including MeTube and other social media platforms.
Although there were rumours about how Dream Vision’s next big project would be [Spiderman], the release of the teaser took many people by surprise– a good kind of a surprise because the fans were already obsessed with the character.
MeTube had so many comments for the trailer and already surpassed 1M views within an hour and the comments kept flooding in.
[Sam Smith Williams: This is probably the best teaser that has been released in a long time! I can’t wait to watch the full movie, and even though not much of the story is revealed in the trailer… As a fan of the comics, I think the movie would be so great and wonderful to watch!]
[Jerry Tom Who: Oh my God! What on Earth! I went to the bathroom to do my private business and when I’m back… THE TRAILER OF [SPIDERMAN] IS OUT?! Wait…. Why does this keep happening to me?!!]
[Miracle Reader: The way the suspense was built and how Spiderman had yellow eyes in the end….!!!! This can’t be real! Why would someone want to kill me with curiosity! I have no patience, please release the movie quickly!!]
[Spidey Fan: A HUGE FAN HERE! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE RELEASE OF THE MOVIE! PLEASE QUICKEN THE PROCESS!!]
[Demonic Furniture: The thing is… We need the movie ASAP. This would not sum up for the curiosity y’all left us with… Like what the heck! It looked so good and something that even an unemployed b*tch like me want to watch! Please!]
The comment section was already filled with random spam from people who wanted Will to release the movie quickly due to how good the trailer was. Not just people from the US, but there were so many other comments from different languages which made it clear that the fanbase would not be limited to just one country, but the entire world.
Due to all of it, the views just kept going up, and the people who were invested in the trailer kept supporting and requesting the movie to be released soon without wasting their curiosity which was already at its peak.

Not just MeTube, even Sparrow was filled with trends that many people joined. People who were at the stadium to watch the Super Bowl had started a trend considering the teaser was first released to them, which was #theSuperBowlCrew. The other people who wanted to join the trend for how good it was, had their own trending hashtag #SpidermanNewMovie.
It was 4 am, and still, there were people obsessing over the trailer.
@Sparrow_was_my_idea:
We had the chance to watch the trailer in its first release! Lucky people join me in the trend! Two in one!! Haha! Super Bowl and [Spiderman] both! Trust me, we were so pumped! I couldn’t even watch the match properly after that! #theSuperBowlCrew #SpidermanNewMovie
@sois_à_moi
In English: I can’t believe the trailer just came out! I considered it as soon as it came out and I have to say it’s a shame I’m not in America. If I was… I swear I would meet Spiderman. ¡The trailer looks so good! #MuchlovefromFrance #SpidermanNewMovie
@Somehow_Felt.That

What the f*** did I just watch?! That looks like a trailer of a movie that I’d watch daily just so I won’t forget any dialogue. Man! The costume looked dope AF! The sounds…. The CGI! Where to begin, where to end?! Thanks, Will Evans! Anticipating! #SpidermanNewMovie
@craze_Cat_LaDy

The six comments were not just it. But there were thousands such from each and every person who became fans of the teaser bragging and sharing their moment with every other person in Sparrow. The trending hashtag was a letter away, and yet was in front of thousands of eyes.

As the teaser was making a lot of rounds on MeTube and Sparrow, other people in the industry had obviously taken a look at it and were astonished by the effect it had.
The other companies, and people were quite stunned by how good the trailer itself had been doing after its release. They were aware of the fact that just because of the super bowl commercial, the teaser was everywhere.
Although it had been less than forty-eight hours since the trailer release, even the assistants were shocked by its effects. Among every other company, Ashton’s studio was one of them who might have to face the consequences of [Spiderman] hitting it high in its first release.
Ashton Banasiewicz was in his office talking to his assistant.
“Will Evans is really creating new methods for himself to promote his movies.” The assistant said, grabbing the attention back from Ashton. Ashton was looking down the glass window, at the road and the vehicles which kept the street busier.
In fact, his office window had quite a good view compared to any window that was in the company. And during weird times as such, Ashton would be looking at the street, people, vehicles and everything that moved on the road.
“[Spiderman] has become the most anticipated movie of the year. And the way Will promoted the teaser attracted so much of the crowd that a teaser had ever attracted. That was really something,” He said. “Mixing sports for promotion. That’s one brainy move there,” He said further.
“I know all of it,” Ashton muttered.
“Well, the thing is, like this… Our movie which would release at the same time as [Spiderman] would get in trouble. There’s a high chance since people already are attracted to [Spiderman], that ours might get badly affected. Uh, Mr. Banasiewicz, we should increase the promotion span, or we might have to postpone the movie,” He asked.
Ashton, whose eyes were still focused down, had another thought in his mind. “No, we will face Will Evans head-on,” He muttered after a long silence.
