As a commercial film, as long as it ensures good reputation among the audience, the box office will generally not be too bad.
"Captain America" is undoubtedly a very qualified commercial movie, although the story is a bit cliché. But clichés have proven to work, otherwise no one would use them, and they wouldn’t be clichés.
Kenneth Turan greatly praised the film, saying: "Almost half of the film is about Steve Rogers before he got his superpowers.
While many elements will feel very familiar to North American audiences, Chris Evans' stellar performance is truly one of the film's greatest highlights.
He brings a believable, down-to-earth poise to the role.
Of course, the film is filled with CGI, and needless to say, the story of the film is quite absurd. But the film is well-written, carefully shot, and has a charming, juicy, unrestrained, and sincere spirit.
The Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson is also a highlight. She has been deeply involved in this film since "Iron Man 1".
Now Black Widow has become an indispensable character in the Marvel superhero series. Although there is no solo movie, she is very important to Marvel. ”
This is indeed the case. A lot of Scarlett's popularity in the past came from little Gilbert.
Everyone knows that Scarlett has followed little Gilbert since she was a child, jokingly calling her the princess of Hollywood. When she starred in "Heartbeat" and "Lost in Translation", she was still an artistic girl.
But to be honest, what determines an actress's status is her performance in commercial movies.
Commercial movies determine commercial value. Only actresses with super high commercial value can be called first-line actresses.
Meryl Streep has won numerous awards, but not many people think of her as an A-list Hollywood star. The highest-grossing film was last year's "Mamma Mia," which earned $615 million worldwide.
The second highest-grossing film is "Knives Out" starring as a supporting actor, with a global box office of US$413.35 million.
But Meryl Streep's commercial value is not high, so she cannot be called a first-line actress. She can be regarded as a good actor at most.
Charlize Theron has become a first-line actress because after the success of the "The Matrix" series, her commercial value has greatly increased and she has become a favorite of major brands.
Later, after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, this position was naturally maintained.
Naomi Watts has been a hit movie after movie since the mid-1990s, becoming the first Hollywood actress after Julia Roberts.
Although it has somewhat faded out of the audience's view now, the glory of the past is still there.
There is no doubt that Hollywood is a highly competitive industry. If you cannot prove your worth, it is natural for you to be replaced.
Sijia is also walking on this road repeatedly, safe and secure.
As the summer season approaches, the movie market is also busy.
With this trend, "Captain America" does not lack audiences. Moreover, films of the same period are indeed uncompetitive, which also contributed to the success of "Captain America".
With proper promotion and unique activities, "Captain America" earned a box office of US$70.52 million in its first week.
Apart from the first "Iron Man", this is the highest-grossing opening weekend for any movie produced by Marvel Studios.
The box office results for this first week have been released, and everyone at Marvel Studios is very excited.
Kevin Feige happened to be in New York, holding a meeting with Marvel executives, and little Gilbert also attended.
At the meeting, senior executives unanimously affirmed the current work of Marvel Studios and started a conversation about the next work.
"When it comes to the movie business, there is no doubt that little Gilbert is the authority, and we might as well listen to his opinion."
Little Gilbert, who was sitting at the end, saw that the Marvel executives were all focused on him. He coughed first and then spoke.
"Then let me just say a few words."
Gilbert Jr. said: "This summer, we have "Iron Man 2" released, and the work on "Avengers" can be put on the agenda.
After coordinating the schedule with the actors, the next step is the key moment. I have done so much work just for "Avengers", and I hope everyone will continue to maintain this momentum. ”
So much work has been done in the past, and one movie after another has been released, all to pave the way for the final assembly. For Marvel, the biggest test is coming.
But Marvel executives are relieved because they have little Gilbert.
After returning to Los Angeles from New York, little Gilbert was not idle either. Taking advantage of some new "Avengers" news revealed by the superhero chat group, he posted a design drawing on his social account.
This artwork is a design drawing of a space carrier, with the title of "Avengers" on it.
Marvel fans were instantly excited. Could it be that Little Gilbert's next masterpiece will be "Avengers"?
As soon as this speculation came out, movie fans were instantly excited. Everyone knows that little Gilbert is good at making superhero movies, and the sensation created by "The Dark Knight" is still before our eyes.
However, movie fans are also divided into groups. For fans of the "Batman" series, what they most want to see is the sequel to the "Batman" movie.
Obviously, there is a story to be told after "The Dark Knight", a trilogy that Gilbert Jr. himself said.
However, according to Gilbert Jr.'s plan, "The Dark Knight Rises" will still have to wait for a while. It will be appropriate to bring it out after everyone has forgotten about "The Dark Knight" for a while.
Another person who is anxious is Xiao Lizi.

After Gilbert Jr. published the sketch of the space carrier, he quickly left a message below:
"Ah? Didn't we agree that we would make a movie together?"
This wasn't over yet, Little Plum also called Little Gilbert.
"Little Gilbert, didn't you say you wanted me to save my schedule and collaborate on a movie? Why did you turn around and start working on "Avengers"?
Could it be that you want me to participate in this movie? ”
"Don't get excited first, listen to me."
Listening to Little Li Zi who came to accuse him, Little Gilbert couldn't help but comfort him.
"How can I not be excited? I have said all this. But when others ask, don't we want to cooperate? How should I answer?"
"Okay, okay," little Gilbert comforted: "Listen to me first, cooperation must be cooperation, and it will be this year."
"Then what do you mean by posting that picture?"
"Isn't it because Marvel asked me to cooperate with the promotion? I just drew a sketch. Don't get excited."
After hearing this, Xiao Lizi was relieved: "It's pretty much the same, but I have a request."
"You said..."
"You draw another sketch and say that this is the film you will direct next, and I will forgive you."
Xiao Lizi's tone sounded like that of a harried woman.
Little Gilbert agreed: "No problem, I will draw a sketch and tell the outside world about our cooperation."
Anyway, the film was supposed to be promoted in advance, so it just happened to be done.
Soon, Little Gilbert released another sketch, a sketch of an inverted city, which left movie fans confused.
More importantly, there is also a film title underneath, called "Inception"
All of a sudden, movie fans were dumbfounded. Which movie is this going to be?
Fortunately, Leonardo DiCaprio answered the question: "This year I will be cooperating with Gilbert Jr. in a movie. After "Saving Private Ryan," this is our first collaboration in 13 years.
This time I am the protagonist and will star in a sci-fi action movie directed by Gilbert Jr., so please look forward to it. "(End of Chapter)
