As a commercial film, as long as it guarantees good audience reputation, the box office will generally not be too bad.

Captain America is undoubtedly a very qualified commercial film, although the story is a bit clichéd. But the clichés have proven to work, otherwise no one would use them, and it would not be clichéd.

Kenneth Turan praised the film, saying, "Almost half of the movie is about Steve Rogers before he gets his powers.

Although many elements will feel very familiar to North American audiences, Chris Evans's outstanding performance is indeed one of the biggest highlights of the film.

He brings a believable, down-to-earth steadiness to the role.

Sure, it's full of CGI, and the story is absurd, to say nothing of the fact that it's a film that's well-written and well-shot, and has a charming, juicy, cool, earnest spirit.

Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow is also a highlight. She has been deeply involved in this film since "Iron Man 1".

Now Black Widow has become an indispensable character in the Marvel superhero series. Although she has no solo movie, she is very important to Marvel. "

That's true. In the past, a lot of Scarlett's popularity came from little Gilbert.

Everyone knows that Scarlett has always been with Gilbert since she was a child, and they jokingly call her the Hollywood princess. When she starred in "Falling in Love" and "Lost in Translation", she still had the image of an artistic girl.

But honestly speaking, what determines the status of a female star is her performance in commercial films.

Commercial films determine commercial value, and only actresses with super high commercial value can be called first-line actresses.

Meryl Streep has won numerous awards, but few people consider her to be a Hollywood A-list star. The highest-grossing film was last year's Mamma Mia, which earned $6.15 million worldwide.

The second highest is "Knives Out", in which he played a supporting role, with the current global box office reaching 4 million US dollars.

But Meryl Streep herself does not have high commercial value, so she cannot be called a first-line actress, at most she is a good actor.

Charlize Theron was able to become a top actress because after the huge success of "The Matrix" series, her commercial value increased greatly and she became a favorite of major brands.

After winning the Oscar for Best Actress, it was natural for her to maintain this status.

Naomi Watts started having one hit movie after another in the mid-1990s, becoming the first Hollywood actress after Julia Roberts.

Although it has somewhat faded from the audience's sight now, its former glory is still there.

There is no doubt that Hollywood is a highly competitive circle, and if you cannot prove your worth, it is only natural that you will be replaced.

Scarlett is also walking on this road repeatedly, safely, steadily and securely.

As the summer vacation approaches, the film market is also becoming lively.

With this favorable trend, "Captain America" ​​has no shortage of audiences. Moreover, the lack of competitiveness of other films in the same period also contributed to the huge sales of "Captain America".

Thanks to proper publicity and unique activities, "Captain America" ​​earned $7052 million in its first week.

Apart from the first Iron Man film, this is the highest-grossing first-weekend movie produced by Marvel Studios.

The first week box office results came out, and Marvel Studios was very excited.

Kevin Feige happened to be in New York, holding a meeting of Marvel executives, and Gilbert Jr. also attended.

At the meeting, senior executives unanimously affirmed Marvel Studios' current work and discussed the next steps.

"When it comes to the film business, there is no doubt that Gilbert Jr. is the authority, so we might as well listen to his opinions."

Little Gilbert, who was sitting at the end, saw that the eyes of the Marvel executives were all focused on him, so he coughed first and then spoke.

"Then I will just say a few words."

"We have Iron Man 2 coming out this summer, so we can get started on The Avengers," Gilbert said.

After coordinating the schedule with the actors, the next step is the key moment. We have done so much work just for The Avengers, and I hope everyone can keep up this momentum. "

So much work has been done in the past, and one movie after another has been released, all to pave the way for the final gathering. For Marvel, the biggest test is coming.

But Marvel executives are relieved because they have Gilbert Jr.

After returning to Los Angeles from New York, Gilbert Jr. was not idle. Taking advantage of some new information about "Avengers" revealed by the superhero chat group, he posted a design drawing on his social account.

This drawing is the design of the helical carrier, and it also has the title of "The Avengers" on it.

Marvel fans were instantly excited. Could it be that Gilbert Jr.’s next blockbuster would be "The Avengers"?
As soon as this speculation came out, fans were instantly excited. Everyone knew that Gilbert Jr. was good at making superhero movies, and the sensation created by "The Dark Knight" was still fresh in their minds.

However, movie fans are divided into groups. For fans of the "Batman" series, what they most want to see is the sequel to the "Batman" movie.

Obviously, there is another story to tell after "The Dark Knight", which Gilbert Jr. himself mentioned as a trilogy.

However, according to Gilbert's plan, "The Dark Knight Rises" will have to wait for a while. It will be suitable to be released when everyone has forgotten about "The Dark Knight".

Another person who is anxious is Leo.

After Gilbert Jr. released the sketch of the aerospace carrier, he quickly left a message below:

"Ah? Didn't we agree to work together on a movie?"

This is not the end, Leo also called Gilbert.

"Little Gilbert, didn't you ask me to save time to work with you on a movie? Why are you going to make The Avengers?
Are you going to let me act in this movie?"

"Don't get excited yet, just listen to me."

Listening to Leo coming to accuse him, Gilbert tried to comfort him with a smile.

"How can I not be excited? I've already said this. Then when someone asks me, don't we want to cooperate? How should I answer?"

"Okay, okay," Little Gilbert said soothingly, "Just listen to me first. We will definitely cooperate, and this year."

"So what did you mean by posting that picture?"

"Marvel asked me to cooperate with the promotion. I just drew a sketch. Don't get excited."

Little Li was relieved after hearing this: "That's good enough, but I have a request."

"you say……"

"If you draw another sketch and say that this is the film you're going to direct next, I'll forgive you."

Leo's tone sounds like a resentful woman in the boudoir.

Little Gilbert agreed immediately: "No problem, I will draw a sketch and tell the outside world about our cooperation."

The film needs some pre-promotion anyway, so this is a good opportunity to do it.

Soon, Gilbert Jr. released another sketch, which was a sketch of an upside-down city, leaving fans confused.

More importantly, there is also a movie title below, called "Inception".

This made the fans dumbfounded. What kind of movie was this going to be?
Fortunately, Leo DiCaprio answered the question for me: "This year I will be working with Gilbert on a movie. This is our first collaboration after 13 years since Saving Private Ryan.

This time I am the protagonist and will be starring in a science fiction action movie directed by Gilbert Jr. Please look forward to it." (End of this chapter)
