As the release date approaches, the promotion and publicity of "Avengers" has entered the final sprint stage.

Marvel Comics released a standalone comic book of The Avengers to promote the film. This comic book tells the story of the Avengers in a parallel world, where Captain America is old, Iron Man is dead, and Thor has become a female Thor.

Hawkeye and Black Widow are both agents of an organization called Hydra, lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D., while the Hulk is the big villain.

Marvel Comics has always liked to mess around in its comics, and many of the comic magazines it publishes have conflicting or inconsistent contents.

Marvel basically uses parallel universes to explain this, which can fool comic fans.

But after Gilbert Jr. became the boss of Marvel, he worked hard to change this situation. He asked Marvel's cartoonists and screenwriters to sort out the stories of the main universe.

Moreover, the story of this main universe must be coherent and logically consistent, without obvious contradictions. Only after the story line in the comics is sorted out can the next step be carried out.

This is also why Marvel Studios was established as early as 1996, but "Iron Man" was not released until 2006.

Only after clarifying the story of the main universe can the film project be carried out.

Of course, in order to promote the movie, Marvel Comics often creates parallel universe stories. For example, when Iron Man 2 was released, Marvel published a story about a female Iron Man.

Originally, he wanted to create an Iron Man whose biological sex is male but psychological gender is female, commonly known as the sissy Iron Man, but Gilbert Jr. rejected it without hesitation.

It may be a little touchy, but Gilbert Jr. feels he has an obligation to put a stop to the diversification push.

In addition, a week before the release, Marvel Comics held a comic convention in New York, inviting many cartoonists and amateur cartoonists to participate.

Gilbert Jr. and other members of the Avengers attended the comic convention, where he also showed off his minimalist comic style.

Because it was his own work, someone immediately offered to buy it at a high price right after it was finished, and the price was once driven up to tens of thousands of dollars.

However, Marvel soon announced that it would build a new comic exhibition hall, and this hand-painted work by Gilbert Jr. would be a collection of the comic exhibition hall.

There is no doubt that this is also a warm-up for the movie.

In addition to these, some comic fans have also discovered that the characters in the comics recently released by Marvel Comics are beginning to resemble movie characters.

Especially Tony Stark, the Iron Man in the comics, who looks exactly like Robert Downey Jr.

This does not constitute an infringement of the actors' portrait rights. When the actor contracts were signed with the actors, there was an image authorization clause in it.

And the actors have to accept that they have no capital when facing Marvel Studios.

In other words, the era of Hollywood superstars is slowly fading. Tom Hanks is taking fewer roles and is no longer as glorious as he was in the 1990s.

The latest hit movie is "Warriors" co-starring with Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise, as well as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons".

Tom Cruise still has strong appeal. He has not experienced the low period of his previous life, and he maintains a happy marriage with Nicole Kidman, which makes his personal image value very high.

Although his religious beliefs are often criticized by the media, it has not greatly affected his personal image.

Moreover, after Tom Cruise learned from young Gilbert and had a pair of children, he began to use his influence to seize power from Scientology.

He is now the second most important figure in the Church of Scientology after the Pope. Even the Pope has to be polite to Tom Cruise.

As the older generation of Hollywood directors and actors are getting older, the only ones who still have strong box office appeal are Tom Cruise, Leo and Brad Pitt. Even Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon, etc., have a declining appeal.

For Marvel superhero movies, actors are important, but definitely not the most important. In Marvel's system, it is the role that makes the actor, not the actor that makes the role.

Kevin Feige once said that even if a different actor played Iron Man, the film would still be a success.

Of course, those niche films have little to do with actors. The inherent defects of niche films mean that they are not the type that sells well and is popular.

"Avengers" is not in this category. It is a highly entertaining commercial entertainment blockbuster that is bound to be liked by the mainstream market and audiences.

On the eve of the film's release, popular film critics Peter and Sexy Rebecca both wrote previews.

In addition, both of them posted videos on Xigua Video, explaining why they must go to the cinema to watch "Avengers".

Sexy Rebecca shows off her beautiful body in the video. On the shelf behind her are various movie-related products, necklaces, clocks, figures and so on.

She said in a pleasant voice: "As a senior movie fan, I watch about 80 movies every year on average, which is a relatively large amount.

But the only movies that are worth buying a ticket to the cinema are commercial blockbusters. Other types of movies can be watched through online discs and other forms. "

Many fans of her channel agree, and apparently The Avengers is one such film.

In order to allow more movie fans to enjoy this wonderful movie, Disney has done a very good job in distribution.

The film will open in 4400 theaters in North America in its first week. At the same time, it will be released simultaneously in 88 countries and regions around the world.

In addition, the film's roadshow promotions covered major cities in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania, including London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and other cities.

In East Asia, there are also stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, etc.

It is worth mentioning that because the film contains scenes set in India, a roadshow tour to Mumbai, India was originally planned.

However, after watching the "Avengers" that was submitted for review, the Indian film and television industry believed that the film was insulting to India's image. Not only did they refuse to allow the crew to come to Mumbai for promotion, they even deleted all the India-related scenes and postponed its release for three weeks.

India has always been such a strange place, so it’s not too surprising.

A week before its release, "Avengers" officially started pre-sales.

On the first day of pre-sale, the film generated sales of 3600 million U.S. dollars. By 7800 p.m. on the day of the film's premiere, the pre-sale box office had reached million.

The film also set a small record. Previously, the highest pre-sale box office was "Transformers 2" with 6850 million US dollars.

Pre-sales in overseas regions are also going smoothly, and midnight tickets for the three traditional English-speaking countries have already been sold out. Other regions such as France, Germany, and even East Asian regions such as China and South Korea are also hot.

Tickets for the regular 3D and IMAX versions were so hard to come by during the first three days of the weekend that scalpers appeared to grab the tickets.

It is worth mentioning here that the island country is famous for superhero movies. Although Gilbert Jr. is very famous in the island country, and Noriko Sakai and others provide free publicity.

But Japanese people may still prefer watching animated movies or action movies.

But it doesn't matter, after all, it was once the second largest overseas single market, and it can still contribute a lot of box office. (End of this chapter)
