"Now we're in trouble."

Bob Weinstein was a little worried: "Looking at the aggressive momentum of Gravity, our Silver Linings Playbook will face great competition."

Harvey Weinstein was not too worried: "Don't worry, Bob.

Gilbert's goal is the Best Actress award, so we will focus our strategy on other awards.

The Oscar strategy over the years has always been to divide the cake. Even if we give Gilbert Jr. an Oscar for Best Director and Best Actress to reward his contribution to Hollywood over the years, we are still very competitive for the other awards.

Besides, our conflict with Gilbert Jr. is not that deep, unlike David Ellison, so there is no need to be afraid of him. "

"What does Jennifer Lawrence say?"

"Let her be!"

Harvey Weinstein said it didn't matter: "Without her, we can introduce someone else. Saoirse Ronan is good, younger than Jennifer Lawrence."

"Uh!"

Bob Weinstein smiled bitterly: "I think you probably forgot that Saoirse Ronan's first film was Gilbert Jr.'s film The Last of Us."

"Of course I know."

Harvey Weinstein is very confident: "That's why I am confident that I can make Saoirse Ronan a movie queen."

Gilbert Jr. was unaware of the Weinstein brothers' discussions.

Because the release date of "The Dark Knight Rises" is approaching, Gilbert Jr. gave the team, who had been working around the clock, a holiday to let them have a good rest, and he took Anne Hathaway to participate in the promotion.

Prior to this, Gilbert Jr. held a meeting with Warner executives and asked them to increase security at the premiere.

"There were too many people at the premiere and it was too complicated. If there was an accident, it would have a significant negative impact on the film."

Similar things have happened in Hollywood history, so Warner Bros. has also done sufficient security work.

But actually, what Gilbert was talking about was to prevent fanatical Joker fans from causing a big incident on the scene. I remember that when the movie premiered in the previous life, a person who claimed to be a Joker fan committed a shooting in a movie theater.

The shooting left approximately fifty people dead and had a significant impact on The Dark Knight Rises, causing it to fail to meet box office expectations.

Gilbert Jr. cannot interfere with the cinema chain, but he still has to ensure security at the premiere.

And now Heath Ledger is not dead, and he has even been invited to attend the premiere, hoping to calm down the impulsive or slightly psychotic Joker fan.

What Gilbert is worried about now is that if such a sensational social incident occurs, it may become an excuse for his political opponents to attack him.

You know, ever since Klaus took office as governor of California and continued to firmly implement anti-DEI strategies, Gilbert Jr. has been registered with the blue group.

Although Klaus still belongs to the Blue Group, there are factions within the group. Now Klaus is in the New California-Silicon Valley Gang within the Blue Group.

Another butterfly effect event was that Donald did not attend the 2011 dinner because of the relationship between Gilbert Jr. and Ivanka.

However, this did not prevent Black Donkey from embarrassing Donald. It is hard to say whether it can inspire Donald to return to his old path.

The current situation is that the blue camp will definitely not allow the largest vote bank to fall into the hands of Gilbert Jr. in case he pushes Klaus to Washington.

Those Wall Street financial capital and medical complexes that have been fighting to the death with Gilbert Jr. can't sleep well, because Gilbert Jr. will definitely lead Silicon Valley capital to encircle them. Although capital is weak and compromising, after two failures, the power of both sides has not changed fundamentally and is basically in a state of balance.

Little Gilbert is already in a state of advancement, and it would be too much if he doesn't show some resistance.

So once an excuse is found to attack little Gilbert, the matter will be hyped up immediately and known to the whole world.

Young Gilbert naturally had to be careful not to give these people an excuse.

In addition to working on the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, Gilbert Jr. is also keeping an eye on the box office performance of The Avengers.

After nearly a year, "Avengers" finally opened in the last market, with the film's global box office ultimately settling at $22 billion.

Because box office statistics in some regions are incomplete and it is impossible to make a comprehensive statistics, according to Disney, this is only a conservative estimate.

According to estimates by Empire magazine, the global box office of "Avengers" exceeded at least $24 billion, but failed to surpass the $27 billion of "Avatar".

From "Iron Man 1" to "The Avengers", the first phase of Marvel Studios' MCU universe was a huge success and brought superhero movies to a new peak.

Even after the film was taken off the screen worldwide, its potential commercial value cannot be ignored.

Marvel Studios used Disney's global distribution system to launch the Blu-ray DVD package of "MCU Universe: Phase One". The total price of this package is $139.9, and the appearance adopts imitation aluminum design, which is the box used to hold the Rubik's Cube in the movie.

It not only includes DVDs of Marvel Studios' six movies from "Iron Man 1" to "The Avengers", but also exquisite peripheral posters, peripheral highlights and matching picture albums.

Also included are S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal assessments and top-secret files on the six superheroes, including Captain America's date of birth, his physical examination report and half-length photo of the young Captain America before he turned into a strong man, and his full-length photo after he turned into Captain America.

Iron Man's concept designs include Mark 1 and Mark 2, the concept design of the Ark Reactor, and a tour guide for the Stark Industries Expo.

There is also the mysterious past of Black Widow, why she came to S.H.I.E.L.D. from Big Hair, and some sexy photos.

In addition, you can also view the report of the Battle of New York, including the number of casualties, property damage, how the aftermath was handled, etc.

The other one was a leaked intelligence from within SHIELD, which stated that a Hydra agent lurking inside SHIELD stole Loki's scepter.

Hydra appeared here for the first time, marking the beginning of the second phase of the Marvel Universe.

With so much exclusive content, this set of peripherals is naturally very popular with fans, selling more than 1 million US dollars in North America in the first week of its release.

Today, the DVD era is gradually passing and is not like before, but this set of DVDs still achieved such high sales.

The two 19.9 and 29.9 versions of DVDs of "The Avengers" also generated sales of $8000 million in North America, continuing to generate revenue for Marvel Studios.

A lot of peripheral copyrights were also sold, and the television broadcast rights were bought by Fox Movie Channel for 800 million for 5 years.

Xigua Video has acquired the online broadcasting rights exclusively for four years at a cost of 1500 million yuan, and this is only the North American rights. If it goes to Europe, there are European TV stations, and if it goes to Asia, there are Asian video websites, and it can be sold again when the time comes.

Moreover, copyright has a time limit, and can be sold again at a later time, which is simply a long-term meal ticket.

At a high-level meeting of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige announced that the peripheral revenue generated by "The Avengers" exceeded 2 billion US dollars.

As time goes by, peripheral benefits will definitely take up the lion's share. (End of this chapter)
