As the producer of the film and the initiator of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, little Gilbert naturally appeared at the premiere.
It's April, and it's still a little chilly in New York. It's definitely not the time to show off your figure and wear short skirts.
But the Metropolitan Theater, located at the intersection of Broadway and 39th Street, was very busy at this time.
The Metropolitan Theater is a very famous landmark building in New York, and together with the Broadway Theater, it has become a holy place in the American theater world.
From 2000 to 2002, the "Lord of the Rings" summer concerts toured here for three consecutive years. At that time, in order to promote the movie "Lord of the Rings", little Gilbert also attended the Metropolitan Theater three times to enjoy the performances.
After seven years, little Gilbert returns to the Met.
The purpose of his coming here was not to watch the opera. In fact, he was not interested in the art of opera. It's okay to attend a concert, but barely enough to watch an opera performance.
However, if the rich and famous people in New York had not come to watch the opera in a Broadway theater, they would probably be laughed at for a long time.
This is an artistic activity that represents the status symbol of the upper class. It is estimated that there are not many people who really love opera, and they are all arty.
The upper-class people in North America have always envied the British, French and European aristocrats. The country itself was founded by the descendants of a group of criminals, and they have a bit of inferiority in their bones.
In order to get closer to the European aristocrats, although they did not understand opera or drama, it did not hinder their pursuit of art.
In layman's terms, it's just showing off.
This has also created the prosperity of Broadway. From the beginning of the last century to the present, Broadway has become the center of the Western theater world, even surpassing the West End of England.
Of course, little Gilbert didn't follow the old hats of North America. In fact, because the premiere of "Captain America" was held at the Metropolitan Theater, he appeared here.
Because it was not a film directed by Gilbert Jr., Gilbert Jr. did not invite too many friends to attend. Just walking the red carpet with Cameron Diaz.
However, Disney executives were very considerate. Robert Iger, several vice presidents, the head of distribution department, etc. all attended the premiere.
Robert Egger also chatted with little Gilbert in the VIP room and asked him about his plans.
"Seriously, little Gilbert, how about merging Marvel into Disney?"
Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and said: "Bob, would Disney like to see my Disney shares increase again?"
Robert Egger hesitated before saying: "Perhaps, we can use cash and share exchange to realize this transaction."
"Cash is meaningless to me. The dollar is depreciating faster than an avalanche in the Alps. Today there is still one billion dollars, and tomorrow there will probably be only $800 million left."
Little Gilbert's subtext is that he doesn't accept cash, and he's not short of cash flow. After the financial crisis, he honestly has a lot of cash flow.
In order to spend the money, he waved the banknotes and bought various stocks.
Under the operation of Larry Fink, Gilbert Jr. held 0.62% of Black Rock's shares through more than a dozen transactions.
Despite the small number of shares, this is already a rare major shareholder. The other shareholders of Black Rock Company only knew that a new shareholder had entered the company, but they did not know that it was Little Gilbert.
The remaining investments are even greater. He even injected US$500 million into Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company for the development of reusable rockets.
Elon Musk is still poaching NASA, and many NASA engineers and technical experts have been poached.
Of course, this is also related to recent policies in Washington. There is less funding for NASA, and naturally NASA cannot support so many engineers and technical experts.
Therefore, these engineers and technical experts are looking for a way out. There happens to be such a company that is consistent with the work they are engaged in, and there is no burden to change jobs.
Robert Egger naturally understands little Gilbert's considerations, but he still holds high hopes.
In his view, Disney's future performance will mostly depend on Marvel Studios.
Disney is still very determined, but for little Gilbert, things have to be discussed after "The Avengers". In this way, benefits can be maximized and you will have more leverage in negotiations.
"Captain America" has undergone great changes in the plot structure. The biggest difference is the addition of Scarlett's Black Widow.
The plot of "Captain America" in the previous life seemed cliché, and now this version of "Captain America" is almost the same. But the addition of Black Widow added a touch of brightness to the film.
In the movie, Black Widow is also a super agent who has been secretly transformed.
She provided a lot of information and later fought alongside Steve Rogers and became friends.
It can be said that the role of Black Widow was forced into the role by little Gilbert. But from the effect point of view, it is quite good. At least male movie fans can hardly stand it when looking at the sexy figure of Black Widow.
Sijia was very happy to see that her role was well received.
She whispered to little Gilbert: "I still have that dress. Would you like me to wear it for you?"
Little Gilbert's eyes lit up: "Which dress?"
"It's the tight one! I know you like this outfit."

Looking at Cameron Diaz who was looking over curiously, Scarlett also whispered: "I also prepared one for you, it's very sexy."
Cameron Diaz blushed and spat: "Bah, I don't want to wear it!"
Having said that, Cameron Diaz saw little Gilbert's expectant look and still planned to quietly ask Scarlett for it.
At night, when little Gilbert looked at the two black widows, he suddenly exploded. Then the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the sky and the earth became dim.
All in all, the fighting was fierce and the grass was all gone.
After the premiere, "Captain America" also officially started its theatrical journey.
Compared with the already famous Marvel heroes such as "Spider-Man", "X-Men" series, and "Iron Man", "Captain America" seems a bit old.
This superhero, born during World War II, seems a bit outdated in this era.
But as the core of "Avengers", Steve Rogers' story must be told clearly. Otherwise, if a hero appears out of nowhere, viewers who have never read comics will be very unfamiliar.
Fortunately, the film quality of "Captain America" is still online. Although it is not a summer release, the midnight screening still generated a box office of 10.37 million US dollars.
The box office data of this midnight show are excellent. In addition to the support of Marvel fans, I am afraid that fans of Little Gilbert will also support it.
After the premiere, reviews of the film were already flying all over the place.
As expected, the film's professional reviews were not high, and audience ratings were above average.
But because there are Chris Evans' muscles and Scarlett's sexy figure to watch, the film is still very popular.
During the screening period, Marvel Studios also specially planned a small theater. That is to let the characters in the film establish a chat group and then chat in it.
Not to mention, this small theater is very attractive. Movie fans find it interesting to watch these superheroes chatting.
At the end of the chat, superheroes such as Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man appeared, which brought quite a surprise to movie fans.
At the end, Iron Man mentioned that an enemy who was not a local was preparing to invade, and asked all superheroes to be prepared.
Needless to say, this is setting the stage for The Avengers. (End of chapter)
