"Fast & Furious 7" dominated the entire month of April, and its dominance was not broken until May.

等到《复仇者联盟2》上映的那一周，《速度与激情7》北美票房已经来到3亿1008万美元，全球票房也已经来到11亿3628万美元。

However, the good days of "Fast and Furious 7" are over, as "Avengers 5" will be released on May 1st.

As a superhero movie directed by Gilbert Jr. himself, this film has been highly anticipated since the beginning of the project. Various Reuters interviews have never stopped, and since March and April, it has been highly promoted.

Two weeks before the film was released, a behind-the-scenes documentary was released, telling the crew's experience in combining real shooting and special effects.

As the film's director, Gilbert Jr. and the leading actors Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans appeared on "The Conan Show" to talk about the filming.

When talking about the IMAX shots in the film, Gilbert Jr. said: "All the big action scenes in the film were shot with IMAX cameras.

We shoot this way for the audience. I hope the audience can see more details and better pictures. "

In terms of sound design, Gilbert Jr. said that he also put a lot of effort into this aspect.

“We spent a lot of time polishing the sound for each scene. For example, when you watch The Martian, you hear complex sounds from Mars, which are superimposed with several layers to form a complex soundtrack.

This way the audience can personally feel the impact of the environment, and the sound brings the audience into that world."

Conan asked a very good question: "We all know that many technology companies are now promoting the concept of artificial intelligence, and even Tony in "The Avengers" has an artificial intelligence like Jarvis.

What I want to ask is, with the computer special effects industry so advanced today, why do you insist on shooting some scenes in real life?"

"Maybe I'm like Tom Cruise, we're both crazy."

Gilbert Jr. made a joke and then said, "I think the beauty of movies is that some things have to be done by us humans.

Nowadays, many movies are made using green screen motion capture technology. Sometimes, you only need to make a preview of the animation storyboard before you can start shooting. "

Gilbert Jr. smiled toward the camera and said, "I'm sorry, Director Cameron, this isn't talking about you, but it is indeed talking about you."

After the joke, Gilbert Jr. continued: “When we choose to shoot with real people, there will be many unexpected surprises.

The emotional value of these surprises is different, and there will be completely unexpected feelings.

The beauty of movies comes from their creation, and the beauty of life also comes from their creation."

This speech was so wonderful that the audience couldn't help but applaud.

Later, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans also talked about the parts they filmed, and Robert Downey Jr. first complained about Gilbert Jr.

"I have worked with Gilbert Jr. several times and I know how difficult this guy is. He is a very demanding director."

Robert Downey Jr. said: "So every time I film with him, I have to be 100% committed, because Gilbert Jr. always pursues perfection, and he won't stop until he reaches that level."

Chris Evans said: "I did a lot of the action scenes in this film by myself. When I heard the director's crazy plan, I told him I wanted to do it myself.

He couldn't believe it and said, "Oh my God, are you going to do it yourself?"

I said yes, I have insurance anyway..."

After the show aired, Gilbert's famous quote immediately became a hot topic, and the film industry also took this opportunity to launch a wave of criticism against the current green screen shooting technology. Many directors and actors who love real shooting also stood up. Christopher Nolan said: "I think the real shooting picture is unparalleled and cannot be replaced by green screen technology."

Tom Cruise also said: "I have worked with Gilbert Jr. many times, and I know that we both like the feeling of real shooting. Unless we really can't shoot it, we won't use special effects."

Of course, times are moving forward. When cheap filming technology is enough to replace complex real-life shooting, most film companies still choose to let facts speak for themselves.

Therefore, real shooting often becomes a gimmick for movie promotion and is mentioned repeatedly, just like this promotion.

After the grand premiere in Los Angeles, the reputation of "Avengers 2" has also been freshly released.

All in all, Gilbert Jr.'s improved version of "Avengers 2" still achieved good reputation, and both the media and bloggers gave it good reviews.

Fremont Green, a new blogger who has made a name for himself on YouTube, said: "Avengers: Age of Ultron is a very realistic, effective and entertaining movie.

As far as the movie is concerned, it is a mixed bag and is 100% a popcorn movie. It is lively and action-packed, with too many characters to keep up.

Director Gilbert Jr. handled the situation to perfection. Such group dramas have always been his forte, as can be seen from the "Lord of the Rings" series.

In addition, the film uses several important scenes as main nodes to support the entire film.

In the process, he balanced the roles of different heroes, with both individual performances and timely confrontations, while also enhancing the human touch.

The final castle in the sky, with its visual effects and catastrophic design, frees me from having to worry about narrative and characters in the latter part, especially by highlighting the difference between heroes and villains, which is superficial but effective. "

Colen Lawrence, a video blogger who has accumulated a large number of fans over the years by analyzing classic Hollywood movies, also published a long article.

“As a master director in Hollywood, you may wonder why Gilbert Jr. still chooses to continue to work in the field of commercial films.

We will find that many film masters will turn to pursue their film art after achieving success in the field of commercial films, while some directors have never compromised with business.

But after seeing the excitement of the audience at the premiere, I understand this feeling.

Gilbert Jr. cannot live without commercial films because he knows what the audience likes. He once said that what the audience likes is what he always pursues.

Besides, as a three-time Oscar winner for Best Director, he no longer needs to prove himself in the art film field.”

Indeed, if someone says that Gilbert's films are not artistic enough, movie fans can refute them by citing films such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Chicago", and "The Sixth Sense".

Besides, aren’t even those commercial films artistic enough?
"The Matrix" and "Inception" have been rated as the best science fiction films in the past twenty years, and "The Lord of the Rings" series is hailed as one of the greatest film series in film history.

Summarizing Gilbert Jr.'s career resume, you will find that the word "invincible" is revealed between the lines.

At this time, you will involuntarily exclaim: Little Gilbert, you win again.

As China is the second largest film market, Disney and Marvel also pay special attention to publicity. Yang Mi, who starred in the film, although her role is not much but better than "The Martian", actively promoted it.

Weibo hot search, Baidu hot search, various press releases are released continuously.

Originally, her role was not important enough to be on the poster, but in front of the cinemas showing the film in China, her character was together with the superheroes.

Chinese fans were shocked when they saw this. Wow, Yang Mi is so popular? I didn’t expect it! (End of this chapter)
