The premiere of "Avengers" was not held in Los Angeles, but in New York, where the story took place.

Although the last time he came to New York to shoot, little Gilbert experienced some not-so-nice things and triggered a protracted battle in the stock market.

But New York is the largest city in the United States after all, and the spending power is there. Conquering New York is equivalent to conquering the East Coast.

Disney and Marvel plan to hold the film's premiere in other places in the future, such as the rapidly emerging Chinese market.

With the box office revenue share rising to 25%, this market is enough for major Hollywood studios to pay attention to.

Most major Hollywood companies believe in one thing: more input, more output.

Nowadays, Chinese movie fans are entering a stage where people are stupid and have a lot of money. Everyone envies films such as "Avatar", "Transformers 2" and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" which are doing well in the Chinese film market.

At a senior Disney meeting, Gilbert Jr. suggested that the board of directors pay more attention to the Chinese market, especially Disney China, and do a good job in operations.

The good news is that Shanghai Disneyland will open in 2014, which is very good news for Disney's brand promotion in China.

When the time is right in the future, the premieres of subsequent Marvel movies can be held in China. Going to China to promote the movies will also become a necessary itinerary.

On May 5, it was rare that it didn't rain in New York, which often rains at this time of year. The sun also went to work, hanging in the sky and bringing a little warmth to the surface of the earth.

The Broadway area belongs to AMC Theatres 34th Street 14, which is owned by AMC and is the venue for the premiere of "Avengers".

As early as a few days ago, enthusiastic fans occupied several surrounding streets with tents and food, just to be the first to witness the red carpet show.

Hundreds of media outlets also sent reporters to report on the event on site, and major television media outlets such as ABC and NBC set up live broadcast antennas on site to bring the premiere to the audience as soon as possible.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, a cool breeze took away the heat, and the film's premiere officially began.

"Hello, everyone. This is the ABC TV station's live report. I'm the host, Abby."

A blonde female reporter with a good figure and wearing a professional suit stood with her back to the red carpet and broadcast the event live.

"This is the premiere of The Avengers. We can see that both sides of the red carpet are already crowded with enthusiastic fans. I have to raise my voice to hear my own voice..."

After a brief introduction, Abby began to interview the audience at the premiere.

A fan said excitedly: "Ever since I knew about the movie 'Avengers', I have been looking forward to it very much, and today I finally got to watch it."

Another fan said: "When Marvel announced this movie, I was still in middle school, and now I am in college."

Of course, the premiere was attended by more enthusiastic fans of Little Gilbert.

"I am a big fan of Gilbert Jr. I will not miss any of his movies since The Shallows, and this one is no exception."

The people around him said that they felt the same way.

For these middle-aged fans, Gilbert Jr.'s movies are an element that accompanied their youth and growth. It's like when you chat with people of the same age, the most common topic of conversation is Gilbert Jr.'s director.

From a talented director to a world-class director, if we were to ask who best represents Hollywood since the 1990s.

It's not Spielberg or James Cameron, although both are equally good, but only Gilbert can represent Hollywood from the 1990s to the early 21st century.

Although the 21st century has just begun, Empire magazine and Time magazine have both listed Gilbert Jr. as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century and one of the 100 most influential people of the 21st century.
During the interview, there was a sudden loud noise from the starting point of the red carpet. It turned out that the main creators of "Avengers" had already walked onto the red carpet.

Gilbert Jr. and Kevin Feige will walk the red carpet together, Naomi Watts and her friends will form a sister group, and Scarlett will slowly appear with other superheroes.

As usual, Gilbert Jr. walked the red carpet at a leisurely pace, interacting with fans for a while. After signing autographs and taking photos, Gilbert Jr. briefly chatted with fans in the red carpet interview area before entering the VIP room to greet sponsors.

The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the six superheroes. Robert Downey Jr. appears in the car he drives in the movie, which fits the character of Tony Stark.

Sponsor BMW expressed great satisfaction, saying that this appearance was worth millions of dollars.

In fact, the car that sponsored the film in the previous life was Audi, but there was no choice because BMW paid too much money. Gilbert Jr. said that he only cared about the money, so BMW became the sponsor.

Afterwards, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk and others all walked onto the red carpet.

Loki's appearance was the most special. He wore his costume in the movie and led a team of 32 Zetauri soldiers.

Tom Hiddleston is a rather interesting actor. After he walked onto the red carpet, he spoke his lines from the movie, which also appeared in the trailer.

"Earthlings, I am your king!"

Instead of getting angry, these ruled Earthling fans gave warm cheers and applause.

Spielberg and Gilbert Jr., who saw the process, joked: "People on Earth deserve to be ruled."

Little Gilbert smiled and invited Spielberg into the cinema, and asked about Spielberg's situation.

Although the two have not been in touch for a long time, Gilbert Jr. has always been concerned about Spielberg's situation.

Chinese people value gratitude, and Gilbert Jr. is no longer strictly Chinese. But Spielberg is his mentor after all, and without him, it is unknown how long he would have to wait for the opportunity.

"So you don't think highly of The Adventures of Tintin?"

"Steven, our relationship is like this, and I don't want to say those nice things to flatter you. In my opinion, The Adventures of Tintin is destined to fail in the local market."

"Tell me your reasons."

Little Gilbert thought for a moment and explained: “Although in the Western world, the comic book The Adventures of Tintin has a very profound influence.

But the story of the film is not native to North America, and it would be unwise to release the film without doing any promotional work.”

This reason is obviously not enough to convince Spielberg. He said: "The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are both works of non-North American culture, and they have also achieved great success."

"You are right, but you overlooked one point."

"what?"

“It goes without saying that The Lord of the Rings has had an undoubted influence on the entire Western world and is even one of the origins of modern fantasy novels.

Harry Potter inherited this influence, and with the promotion of the media group, its influence can spread from Europe to North America. "

Gilbert Jr. paused and continued, "But the situation with The Adventures of Tintin is different. You can ask the fans out there. I don't think many people know who Tintin is."

What Gilbert said is true. For North American audiences who don't care about the world, they won't understand foreign things unless they are promoted extensively.

People have always been resistant to things they don't understand, and the same is true for "The Adventures of Tintin".

Coincidentally, The Adventures of Tintin has not been widely promoted and is not a story that is well known to North American audiences. (End of this chapter)
